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.
