Embody Small Elemental (Grey Sixth)
Range: Self
Duration: 5 Minutes
Activation Phrase: Embody small grey Elemental! TIME FREEZE!
Effect: Summons a small Saraph to embody the caster, replacing them for the duration of the spell.
On casting Time Freeze should be called and the caster’s player should don the appropriate elemental costume (this spell cannot be cast without it to hand) then Time In in the same pose and position the caster was in. For the duration of the spell, they play the elemental, acting under the mental control of the caster.
The elemental has the stats as per the Elementalism Rules document, effects on the caster are paused while the elemental is embodied and do not carry over to the elemental. Similarly, effects cast on the elemental end when it leaves. The caster cannot act or be targeted while the spell is in effect. When the elemental is destroyed or the duration expires, the caster should call Time Freeze, remove the elemental costume, then Time In as the caster in the same pose and position the elemental was in. All previous effects on the caster then resume.
Imbue Area with Grey (Grey Sixth)
Range: 30 feet
Duration: 24 Hours
Activation Phrase: Imbue this area with Grey! TIME-FREEZE!
Effect: The mage opens wide the portal in their focus, calling forth the raw energy of the elemental plane of Grey. As this energy flows into the world, it infuses the area around the mage, making it more like the elemental plane.
Grey-based spells cast in this area receive double duration, contrariwise all other spells suffer half-duration.
On casting, TIME FREEZE should be called and the caster’s player should explain the effect of the Imbue Area spell. Whilst the spell is in effect, approximately every 5 minutes, the caster should state “OC: We are in an area imbued by Grey” or words to similar effect. The caster must remain conscious and within the area to maintain the effect. The spell will also fade if the caster is killed. The caster should state “OC: The Imbue Area spell is over” or similar.
While imbuing an area, a mage may only cast metamagic. If a second imbue area is cast by anyone over the same area the first disappears and the second takes over.
Grey spells should be prefixed with Greater and all others with Lesser.

Enchant (Grey Eighth)
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Activation Phrase: Enchant!
Effect: This spell preserves and replenishes the energies in magical items.
If cast upon a scroll, it prevents the scroll from becoming destroyed the next time it is read within the next 24 hours.

The mana used to cast Enchant is committed to the wand exactly as if the caster had originally cast the wand’s spells into it; any excess replenishes normally immediately, any shortfall (in the case of 9th level spells) is added to the commitment immediately.
This spell may affect geomantic and other unusual magic items with charges at ref discretion.
