Spells of Legend

Unread post by Nuristas »

Hello,

I am trying to compile a list of all existing spells of legend. I couldn't find one on the forums so I gave it a try.
I have with the help of other players found these spells with the source next to it each time.

Barrier of Thoth, Book of Magic, p154
Blight of Ages, Book of Magic, p154
Blood and Thunder, Book of Magic, p155
Create Hell Pit, Megaverse in Flames, p110
Crimson Wall of Lictalon, Book of Magic, p155
Dark Army, Rifter 65, p42
Desecration, Rifter 65, p42
Doppleganger (Superior), Book of Magic, p156
Great Wall, Library of Bletherad, p87
Hivemind, Book of Magic, p156
Ley Line Resurrection, Book of Magic, 156
Metamorphosis: Dragon, Palladium 2nd ed., p218
Metropolis, Book of Magic, p157
Mystic Quake, Book of Magic, p157
Reality Merge, Rifter 15, p102
Sanctuary, Book of Magic, p157
Soul Leech, Rifter 15, p103
Steel rain, Book of Magic, p157
Summon Demon Planet, Megaverse in Flames, p111
The Slowness, Book of Magic, p157
Undead Colossus, Rifter 65, p41
Vicious Circle, Book of Magic, p158
Warrior Horde, Book of Magic, p159

If you know of any others, please let me know

you forgot things like commas between the spell name and the book name and the pg. rating for most of the numbers.
You also let out the locations in the PF2 core book and the HU2 core book.

Barrier of Thoth, PF2 core, page 217
Crimson Wall of Lictalon, PF2 core, page 217
Doppleganger (Superior, PF2 core, page 217 & 218
Sanctuary, PF2 core, page 218, HU2 page 338. Level 15

Then there is..
Anti-magic cloud, PF2 core, page 210, and HU2 core, page 335. Level 11
oh...and in RBoM page 138......(read the spell test).


Another fun fact: HU2 core book page 334 & PF2 core book page 209, Dimentional pocket is a common magic spell.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

Greetings, I edited my post to make it more readable.

It is true: I only listed one source to make it easier to reference. For me it's an exercise to know not where I can find all the references but more of which spells are there?
Did you find any that I missed?

I'll add it based on the description even if levelwise it's not :)

Are there any other spells of legend out there or is my list just complete?

I found your spell list of the rifters. Are there any spells of Legend in those rifters (seems logical when I look at the types of magic in there) for I don't own them all so can't really look through every single one....

Rifter 9.5:
-Ludicrous Magic's Create Carnies (pg92-3)
-Ludicrous Magic's Laugh of Resurrection (pg93)
-Trickster Card Magic's House of Cards (pg73)
-Wizard Spells that might be uncommon enough to be thought of as "SoL" are on pg95-7

Rifter 29 has War Magic SoL pg42-3 (Jihad, Obliterate). I don't have many Rifters either, so I do not know how common it is for these "Rifter" Disciplines to have SoL in their magic or if you are restricting your list to just Wizard Invocation Discipline or not.

Thanks for the feedback and all the help. From what I read a lot of magic in Rifters is available to "regular" mages but costs double or they need to find somebody to teach them.

Here's what I found. If someone with access to Garden of the Gods, Rifts Bestiary 1, and/or Rifts Antartica Raw Edition could give those a once over it would be appreciated. Please don't quote this post if you find something to add, because the clutter would only make the thread less useful for possible future readers.
Spoiler:
Format: Spell/Ritual name (P.P.E. cost) Location (P.P.E. cost if different than in primary listing) *notes "quotes"

The first set of spells are those printed in official products, divided by subtype. This includes the handful of Spells of Legend published in the Rifter that are classified as "official." With the exception of Clone, those spells without P.P.E. costs are only described. Some spells are only classified as Spells of Legend in certain settings, e.g. Anti-Magic Cloud being a SoL in HU and PF1 but not in PF2 or Rifts, while the status of other spells is left nebulous, e.g. World Bizarre. Rifts Book of Magic is given precedence over other sources for ease of reference. Palladium Fantasy locations, insofar as they most often require additional notes, tend to be at the end.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with all the spells (not tattoos or wards) in the Megaverse, including up to Rifter 70 (or so) listing their book and page number. PM me an email address and I can email it to you.
