Arcadomai Spell Compendium
A supplement to the Risus setting Arcadomai created by Dan Suptic©2007
A note about Risus and Arcadomai
Arcadomai is a fantasy setting (created by Dan Suptic) that uses the Risus system to play. It can be found at http://risusiverse.wetpaint.com/page/Arcadomai. Risus itself is a free and easy to learn role-playing game (created by S. John Ross) that is used to play Arcadomai. Simply go to the freebie page on http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/risus.htm and download it there. The whole system is 6 pages long, and that’s all you’ll need to play. Download it, print it, heck, even put it in a nice 6-page binder. So long as you understand it, you’ll be able to use the Arcadomai Spell Compendium.
What lies within
This supplement contains spell lists for all magic clichés found in the Arcadomai setting. While certainly not an extensive list of every single spell for each cliché, every list here should be enough to certainly give the GM and the Player a good knowledge of what the cliché can do.
Cliché name – The name of the cliché used for the spells
Combat – A brief description of spell effects when engaged in direct cliché to cliché combat, for each level of the mage’s cliché. These are simply meant for added description, and no impact on combat itself. This section only applies to clichés that have a direct combat effect – even if the cliché can be used to help someone in combat, this area is reserved for obvious attack magic.
Level (x) – This is the header for the spells of each cliché level. The level of each spell is the optimal cliché level a character should have before trying to cast the spell. Higher level spells may be attempted by the character with no penalty (other than that the TNs will be quite high for his cliché). When making magic cards, the level of the card made is equal to the level of the spell.
Spell name – TN – Description – This is the spell name, followed by the TN you must beat to use the spell, followed by what the spell itself does
Spell lengths
Unless otherwise noted, spells last until the end of the encounter. An Encounter can be defined as a series of events in which the PCs are in the same location working towards the same immediate goal (separate rooms in a dungeon, meeting someone on the way to another city, hanging out one evening at the bar, etc). In general, spell lengths are up to the GM
Trying again
If a Player misses the TN and fails to cast the spell, they may try again in an amount of time defined as Whatever the GM Deems Appropriate.
Resisted spells
A lot of spells allow the target to resist or avoid the spell effects. The TN to resist/avoid/throw off effects is always equal to the spell's TN.
Read on, fellow mage!
Enjoy the following spells for the world of Arcadomai. These should help to flesh out each magic cliché, and also give GMs and Players ideas for new spells for their favorite cliché. If you have any questions or comments, please email them to dsuptic@gmail.com

A note about Risus and Arcadomai
Arcadomai is a fantasy setting (created by Dan Suptic) that uses the Risus system to play. It can be found at http://risusiverse.wetpaint.com/page/Arcadomai. Risus itself is a free and easy to learn role-playing game (created by S. John Ross) that is used to play Arcadomai. Simply go to the freebie page on http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/risus.htm and download it there. The whole system is 6 pages long, and that’s all you’ll need to play. Download it, print it, heck, even put it in a nice 6-page binder. So long as you understand it, you’ll be able to use the Arcadomai Spell Compendium.
What lies within
This supplement contains spell lists for all magic clichés found in the Arcadomai setting. While certainly not an extensive list of every single spell for each cliché, every list here should be enough to certainly give the GM and the Player a good knowledge of what the cliché can do.
Cliché name – The name of the cliché used for the spells
Combat – A brief description of spell effects when engaged in direct cliché to cliché combat, for each level of the mage’s cliché. These are simply meant for added description, and no impact on combat itself. This section only applies to clichés that have a direct combat effect – even if the cliché can be used to help someone in combat, this area is reserved for obvious attack magic.
Level (x) – This is the header for the spells of each cliché level. The level of each spell is the optimal cliché level a character should have before trying to cast the spell. Higher level spells may be attempted by the character with no penalty (other than that the TNs will be quite high for his cliché). When making magic cards, the level of the card made is equal to the level of the spell.
Spell name – TN – Description – This is the spell name, followed by the TN you must beat to use the spell, followed by what the spell itself does
Spell lengths
Unless otherwise noted, spells last until the end of the encounter. An Encounter can be defined as a series of events in which the PCs are in the same location working towards the same immediate goal (separate rooms in a dungeon, meeting someone on the way to another city, hanging out one evening at the bar, etc). In general, spell lengths are up to the GM
Trying again
If a Player misses the TN and fails to cast the spell, they may try again in an amount of time defined as Whatever the GM Deems Appropriate.
Resisted spells
A lot of spells allow the target to resist or avoid the spell effects. The TN to resist/avoid/throw off effects is always equal to the spell's TN.
Read on, fellow mage!
Enjoy the following spells for the world of Arcadomai. These should help to flesh out each magic cliché, and also give GMs and Players ideas for new spells for their favorite cliché. If you have any questions or comments, please email them to dsuptic@gmail.com
