New Spells

The Grimoire

The following spells are divided into four categories: Witchcraft, Cult Sorcery, Eldritch Magic, and Pacific Shamanism. Some of these spells are unique to White Leviathan, and some are variations of standard spells found in the “Grimoire” of the Call of Cthulhu Rulebook, and assume the players have access to those descriptions. Those marked with an asterisk are adapted from spells found in Chaosium’s Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic.

They include: Enchanting a Black-Handled Knife, Charm to Beguile a Man, Hex to Dumbfound the Troublesome, Ward Against Harm, Encanto para hacer obedecer a los hombres, Witches Hex, Scrying Gaze, Ritual for the Creation of a Mandragora, Call Upon the Mandragora to Remain Unseen, Brew Sabbath Unguent, and The Rite of Aquelarre.
