Certain spells require that the spellcaster possess specific items when casting. These items are broken down into two categories, components and focuses. Components are consumed when the spell is cast and must be replenished either through purchase or discovery before that particular spell can be cast again. Focuses are items which are not consumed but must be within the spellcaster’s inventory when casting.

Other spells only require that the spellcaster possesses a Spell Component Pouch which serves as an infinite supply of certain material components for lower level (and some higher level) spells. As long as the spellcaster possesses the pouch, he or she can continue to cast those spells in the same manner as a focus. Bards, Sorcerers, and Wizards receive the Spell Component Pouch upon logging in for the first time. Other classes and those classes which choose to add a level of arcane spellcaster after character creation must purchase a Spell Component Pouch at one of the local shops.

The following features are part of the spell component system:

1. When a spell is cast which requires the Spell Component Pouch, the spellcaster will be notified of the specific component that is “taken” from the pouch. This is for flavor only and does not actually result in anything being taken from the pouch.

2. Spells requiring a specific spell focus will require that the focus is within the spellcaster’s inventory. Focuses need only be purchased once.

3. Certain spells will require material components that will be consumed once the spell is cast. Some of these components will have multiple charges.

4. Some spells will require multiple components, multiple focuses, or a combination of components and focuses. Also, some spells will expend a certain amount of XP from the spellcaster.

A full list of spells that are affected by the system are listed below. Spells not listed can be cast freely. A copy of this list is available in game at one of the port authorities for free or for purchase at various shops throughout the module.

ALPHABETICAL LISTING OF SPELLS

Spells followed by (C) require an individual component that must be found or purchased. Spells with (SP) after their name would only require that the spellcaster had a Spell Component Pouch in their inventory. Spells with (F) beside their name require a spell focus which can be used repetitively. If a spell is followed by (C/DF), (F/DF), or (SP/DF), divine spellcasters do not require the material component or focus shown. Some spells require multiple components and/or components and focuses and are denoted with (MC) or (MF).
