Elder Scrolls: Risus - Character Creation 3 (Spells & Recipes)

_SPELLS_

Every character who begins play with one of the five schools of magic in their skill sets, also begins with knowledge of one or more spells. Pick one spell from the following lists for every instance of that spell's governing school in your skill sets. I need to rewrite this for sure.

Also listed on these tables is the cost of a Spell Tome, from which any character may learn the spell. Spell Tomes may be found in the inventories of stores and merchants all across Tamriel, and sometimes, ancient versions of these may be found in the dungeons and ruins that dot the landscape.

To learn a spell from a Spell Tome, roll an appropriate Cliché (or inappropriate if you don't have one) against the Spell's Difficulty. If successful, your character understands enough of what she's reading to be able to study the Tome. You must devote at least one day per level of the spell, after which you may make another Cliché roll. If successful, you may add the spell to your spell list and cast it at will. If not, you must study the Tome again for as many days as the spell has levels. You may add an additional 1d6 to your Cliché roll to learn a spell for every day beyond the mandatory you spend in study.
