Seaspells

Seaspells are powerful spells invoked through melding one's psyche with a sea spirit that dwells within a ship, via a consecrated and mounted figurehead. Each seaspell has an associated power cost, and the power is replenished through sailing and from invoking hunger on a seamonster.

A figurehead may have up to four seaspells invested, and seaspells may only be invested or uninvested when docked at a harbour.

Seaspell	Description
Barrier	Summon a prismatic barrier for all allies aboard.
Syntax: INVOKE BARRIER DISSOLVE BARRIER Power cost: 300 to initiate, plus 5 per barrier raised. Details: A seaspell to invoke prismatic barriers around all those upon your ship. Be careful: each and every barrier raised once this seaspell is active drains power from the figurehead, until you DISSOLVE BARRIER.
Hunger	Replenish your figurehead by slaying seamonsters
Syntax: INVOKE HUNGER <target seamonster> Power cost: 300 Details: A seaspell that will cast a spectral net upon a target seamonster. If the seamonster dies before the net disappears, the casting figurehead will be replenished a significant amount of power.
Rainstorm	Extinguish shipboard conflagrations.
