Spell: Parching Wind of the Burning Desert

[Thor Olavsrud]

Here's a new spell I've whipped up using the Abstraction rules:

Parching Breath of the Burning Desert (Ob 2^, Syllables 6)
Effect: A burning desert wind whips forth from the caster's mouth, dessicating the target as it draws forth all moisture from its body (or the material). Damaging Effect Spell: Power = Will, +1 Power for every additional success. DOF.

Range: Presence
Area: Single Target
Impetus: Destroyer
Element: Water
Duration: Instantaneous

Element: Water (Ob 2, Syllables 3)
Impetus: Destroyer (Ob +2, Syllables +5)
Origin: Presence (Ob +1, Syllables +4)
Duration: Intantaneous (Ob +0, Syllables +2)
Area of Effect: Single Target (Ob +1, Syllables +4)

First Distallation: Water/Destroyer
Water-Destroyer (Ob 2, Syllables 4)
Presence (Ob +1, Syllables +4)
Instantaneous (Ob +0, Syllables +2)
Single Target (Ob +1, Syllables +4)

Second Distallation: Presence/Single Target
Water-Destroyer (Ob 2, Syllables 4)
Presence-Single Target (Ob 1, Syllables 4)
Instantaneous (Ob +0, Syllables +4)

Finalization
Parching Breath of the Burning Desert (Ob 2^, 6 Syllables)

And here's a variation that has a range in the 10s of Paces, allowing it to affect multiple victims:

Dessicating Wind of the Burning Desert

Second Distallation: Personal/Area of Effect
