Scry's Compendium of Destruction I

My life has been devoted to the study of power, the power to destroy, to annihilate entire forces with a single wave of fire or ice. Following Solusek Ro has given me insight into the nature of such magic, and perhaps one day I shall be even as strong as he. As my studies have taken me to the far ends of the world, I see more and more up and coming following the path of the Wizard. It saddens me to see so many struggling as they gain power however, unable to grow beyond the teachings of their masters, who in turn, have no more to show them. I now share the secrets that have gotten me this far, to spread the knowledge of such destructive powers to those who would follow in my footsteps.

-Demunir Scry, Sorcerer of Destruction.

From time to time in my adventures I have found the need to stun an enemy for a time in order to call upon a more powerful casting to slay it. I decided that having two versions is better than one at time, and have worked to improve our former spell. This is the spell that I created.

Tishan's Discord - Rune of Alternation, Rune of Vortex

It is such a beautiful sigh to see columns of pure magic rising to the air. This particular pillar harnesses the essence of frost, and works well on enemies with a low resistance to the cold. Use it wisely, and it can exterminate even a grouping of them together.

Pillar of Frost - Rune of Prexus, Rune of Gale

Scry's Compendium of Destruction II Another beautiful spell of destruction, calling upon this inferno causes waves of flame flicker out as far as the eye can see, washing over any being in their path. One can almost envision the flames leaping from the ground at your very whim. A most powerful tool. Inferno of Al'Kabor - Rune of Ellipse, Rune of Flash

Solomen2

In-game bookVerant/SOE

Solomen's Restoration of Wizardry II The fire installment of Scry's few final creations, this spell is incredible. It seems so hot as to actually be calling rays of the sun down into Norrath, and thus I have given it this name. Flames erupt from any target you direct it towards. Use caution! Sunstrike - Rune of Amalgamation, Rune of Glint, Rune of Coruscating

In-game bookVerant/SOE

Scry's Compendium of Destruction III Exploration of underwater areas has given me respect for the creations of Prexus, and much like Tears of Druzzil I honor this god with a show of true power. By invoking the name of Prexus you can bring forth a rain of ice to overcome any that stand against you. Tears of Prexus - Rune of Prexus, Rune of Gale, Rune of Tempes…

Solomen's Restoration of Wizardry III The final two spells that I have included in this volume carry enormous weight, and should be used only when absolutely necessary. Please be most careful! They were found in the diary of Scry, although even he had not yet attempted to use them. Where he heard of them, I know not.

Firepot2

In-game bookVerant/SOE

Firepot's Disertation of Utility II This is a neat little utility spell that I dreamed up one night while spending the evening in Erudin. Why not make a spell that allowed improved sight as well as the ability to see that which is not there? It was fairly simple to theorize, although a bit trickier to create. Plainsight - Rune of Ellipse, Rune of Conjunction

Al'Kabor's Journal IV

In-game bookVerant/SOE

Al'Kabor's Journal IV By mixing the Rune of the Helix, the Rune of Infraction, with my Rune, I have discovered an energy-laden Force Spiral effect. This spell is ideal for wizards of rank 39. Mixing the Rune of Concussion with my Rune, creates a freezing Wrath effect. This very powerful spell is not to be used by a wizard of less than 49th rank.

Al'Kabor's Journal III

In-game bookVerant/SOE

Al'Kabor's Journal III With my Rune and a Lexicon, I developed a series of spells that spread blasting winds of ice, fire, and magic over great distances. These spells produce a crystalline aura when cast. It has been too long since I created the Frost Spiral effect. I cannot remember what I used to create it.

Tyrn's Thesis: Advanced Teleportation II With the growing popularity of my original Translocate spell, people asked me to come up with a way to send them to a specific point. This proved to be quite a bit more difficult than I first supposed, but after some clever reckoning on my end, I was able to find a reliable method.
