On the evening of the celebration of the Goddess of love a robed figure approaches the party. With a flourish they reveal a small book. A dark red cover without a title and a small latch holding it shut give a foreboding aura to the little book. “A book of love spells” the stranger says “I have tried and failed to destroy it many times. Written by the Goddess herself some say. I wish it hidden. Hidden where it can never be found. It has brought me more pain and anguish than a lifetime of solitude could”. With that the stranger vanishes and the little red book drops to the floor.
 
Inside the book (for those who dare to look) are the following five spells (for HARP):
 
 
Love
 
PP Cost: 10
Spell Type: Utility
Range: Touch
RR: Will
Duration: 5 rounds / rank
 
Description: The target will instantly fall in love with the caster. During this period they continue to function and act as themselves (ie someone who is not particularly open about their emotions will continue to be not open about their emotions). The base level of this spell is best described as infatuation and will make the target more amenable to the caster and more likely to bend to their demands, but it does not remove all intellect.
 
Scaling options:
Familial love (the person would sacrifice anything to help you) +10pp
Madly in love (the person would give their own life to make you happy) +20pp
Stupid in love (the person can no longer function and will forget to eat or sleep unless you tell them to) + 30pp
Increase duration (10 rounds / rank) +4pp
Increase duration (1 minute / rank) +6pp
Increase duration (10 minutes / rank) +10pp
Increase range (per 10’) +2pp
 
 
Beautify
 
PP Cost: 15
Spell Type: Utility
Range: Touch
RR: —
Duration: 5 rounds / rank
 
Description: Make the target appear beautiful to all those who look upon them for the duration of the spell. This spell does not physically change the appearance of the target, merely the perception of the person in the eyes of those that look upon them. Given the difference in appearance between races, the base spell only works on people of the same race. The spell works on both genders and all sexual orientations. It does not make anyone necessarily fall in love with the target. It simply makes them believe that they are objectively beautiful. In some cases, this may result in infatuation.
 
Being beautiful gives you a +5 to all influence skills.
 
Scaling options:
Additional race +8pp
Increase duration (10 rounds / rank) +4pp
Increase duration (1 minute / rank) +6pp
Increase duration (10 minutes / rank) +10pp
Increase range (per 10’) +2pp
+10 to influence skills +20pp
 
 
Perfect partner
 
PP Cost: 10
Spell Type: Utility
Range: 10’
RR: —
Duration: 3 rounds / rank
 
Identify your perfect romantic partner. The caster will get a vague feeling of how happy they would be with someone when looking directly at them. This spell does NOT help you attain the affection of your perfect partner. It merely helps you identify them.
 
Scaling options:
Increase duration (5 rounds / rank) +4
Increase duration (10 rounds / rank) +6
Increase duration (1 minute / rank) +10
Increase range (per 10’) +2
Feel the timeline of your potential relationship in a five second burst of emotion +6

End-Love
 
PP Cost: 15
Spell Type: Utility
Range: Touch
RR: Will
Duration: 10 rounds / rank
 
Stop loving someone. The base version of this spell will stop the target from loving a person that they have loved for no longer than 1 year. While the spell is active, the target will have no feelings for that person and will be more than happy to see them and interact with them without any emotion. The targets love of a person cannot be increased while they are affected by the spell. Instead any interactions will be remembered normally but have no emotion attached to them.
 
Scaling options:
Increase duration (1 minute / rank) +6
Increase duration (10 minutes / rank) +10
Increase duration (1 hour / rank) +15
Increase length of time the target has been in love with the person (per year) +5pp
