These spells are available to all magic users except for supernaturals.

Casters can only cast as many spells during a day as they have points in Ki.  This is referred to as "Ki burn."  This also applies to skills that are not explicitly referred to as spells, such as Supplication.  Rolls such as Int+Ki to resist spells are not burns.

All attempts to re-cast a spell incur a successive -2 difficulty on top of all other difficulties.

Please note that this list is not final and can be updated at any time.  If older spells are modified, there will be a notification of this.
