Riddlemaster Spells
From LSWiki
Riddlemaster spells are randomly generated spells that the learned alumni of the college utilize to ... do whatever it is they like to do.
When kenning objects, you have a chance to discover old knowledge in the form of a lost spell by intuiting connections between your knowledge base and the metaphysical resonances of that object and elements of its essence adjacent to the thing itself.
When you discover a spell, it is not permanently saved. Dying before your time will sever your link to your magic and your grasp on the spells you have not mastered via auctoration.
Memorizing a spell with auctoration will cause you to gain specialty access related to the spell, specifically the skills used in the last spell-casting step of that spell. The spec access gained scales with the tier of the spell mastered. As the tier of spell increases, the more spec access it grants, minor 1, lesser 2, etc, up to great 5. Conjured weapon spells also grant spec access to the appropriate weapon type.

Spell components
[edit]
Spell Types
This is the bit that tells you what spell you're casting, from an attack to an abjuration. There are at least 7 different spell types. Most of these are self-explanatory.
conversion attack area attack augmentation curse teleportation abjuration
Spells of the same type will be similar. The spell names and first spell-casting step will change but the secondary and supporting skills used for other casting steps will remain the same. The primary *turgy skill will change to the appropriate energy type being used.
[edit]
Spell Class
This is the tier or magnitude of the spell, with 5 different levels. Usual LS magnitude - minor through greater. (see 'help magnitude')
It is rumored that some spell types might gain more than just higher numbers from a higher spell magnitude.
[edit]
Spell Energies
The metaphysical resonances you touch upon when discovering a spell allow your spells to have nearly any energy type in the game. From magma to qlippotic to chaos to ooze, the hylocosmic and cardinal energies are available for spells for a total of 27? possible.
personally I prefer using t1-t5 to refer to this part for talking about spells or trading but that's just me
[edit]
Spells Steps
The first spell step is definitely random. I don't know how this works.
second to last spell step
"calling forth the power of <spell name>" step that uses scholarship and storytelling
last spell step
"channeling the power of <spell name>" that uses the *turgy, and two other skills that depend on spell type
[edit]
Spell Names
Randomly generated, seems to pick from different cultures? Obviously the most important part.
(I'm looking for spells with funny names, whisper Dicia)
