In addition, a kamerel bard can only use their bardic knowledge ability to gain information on kamerel and their works.</p><p></p><p><em> Mirror Spells:</em> Kamerel mirror magic includes a special class of spells called mirror spells. A mirror spell is a spell that can be cast as one of two spells whose effects are the opposite of each other. For example, <em>enlarge person/reduce person</em> is a mirror spell that acts as either <em>enlarge person</em> or <em>reduce person</em> when cast.</p><p></p><p>A kamerel spellcaster can use one mirror spell at each spell level they can cast, but they can use each spell level's mirror spell multiple times if they have more than one spell slot at that level. Each "half" of a mirror spell is usually a spell of the same level, but if the halves have different levels the mirror spell has the same spell level as the highest level half. For example, a <em>light/darkness</em> mirror spell would be a second level spell, since it combines the 2nd level <em>darkness</em> spell and the 0 level <em>light</em> spell. If a mirror spell has material or focus components, it requires the components of both of its halves to cast.</p><p></p><p>A mirror spell can be used to counterspell either of its halves.</p><p></p><p>There are two main categories of mirror spell.</p><p></p><p>A <strong>reversible</strong> mirror spells are mirror spells that combine two existing spells whose effects cancel each other out. For example, a <em>cure wounds</em> spell cancels the effect of a <em>inflict wounds</em> spell, <em>cause blindness/deafness</em> cancels <em>remove blindness/deafness</em>, <em>freedom</em> cancels <em>imprisonment</em>, <em>stone to flesh</em> cancels <em>flesh to stone</em> and so on. A kamerel spellcaster can combine any such pair of spells into a single mirror spell.</p><p></p><p>An <strong>invertible</strong> mirror spell is an existing spell with the Light, Darkness, Fire or Cold descriptor that can be cast as a spell with the opposite descriptor. For example, a <em>fireball</em>/<em>coldball</em> mirror spell can be cast as a Fire spell doing fire damage or a Cold spell doing cold damage. A <em>sunbeam</em>/<em>darkbeam</em> mirror spell can be a Light spell that does double damage to creatures sensitive to sunlight or a Darkness spell that does double damage to creatures sensitive to total darkness.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mirror Safety (Ex):</strong> A kamerel never breaks mirrors by accident, although it can deliberately attack a mirror if it wishes to. If another creature forces a kamerel to strike a mirror (with a Bull Rush attack, for example), the mirror will suffer no damage or breakage unless the kamerel wants to harm it.</p><p></p><p><strong> Pass Into Reflection (Su):</strong> Kamerel have a unique ability to enter the Plane of Reflection, a “pseudo-dimension” made up of reflected images, once per day. To Pass Into Reflection, a kamerel must spend a standard action contemplating itself in a mirror that is large enough to reflect the kamerel’s entire body. The kamerel then simply steps into the mirror and vanishes (this requires a move action, so the kamerel must be within its move distance of the mirror).</p><p></p><p>A kamerel can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load. A kamerel with at least 6 Hit Dice may also carry one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) into Reflection for every 6 HD it possesses.</p><p></p><p>A kamerel can exit the Plane of Reflection by using the same procedure to step out of a mirror from the "other side". It need not be the same mirror as the kamerel used to enter Reflection.</p><p></p><p>Unlike a normal supernatural power, Pass Into Reflection is only annulled by the limited magic trait around the central spire of the Outlands if the kamerel is within 100 miles of the spire.</p><p></p><p><strong>Spells:</strong> A typical kamerel mage is a 10th level wizard.</p><p></p><p><em>Typical Wizard Spells Prepared</em> (4/5/5/4/4/2), DC 14 plus spell level, or DC 15 plus spell level for Conjuration spells.</p><p>5th—<em>mage's private sanctum</em>, <em>transmute mud to rock/rock to mud</em>¹ (DC 19); </p><p>4th—<em>black tentacles</em> (DC 19), heightened <em>blacklight</em> (DC 18), <em>detect scrying</em>, <em>wall of fire/wall of ice¹</em>;</p><p>3rd—<em>dispel magic</em>, <em>greater enlarge/greater reduce¹²</em> (DC 17), <em>scry mirror²</em>, <em>stinking cloud</em> (DC 18);</p><p>2nd—<em>darkness/continual flame¹</em>, <em>fox's cunning</em>, <em>glitterdust</em> (DC 17), <em>mirror image</em>, <em>whispering wind</em>;</p><p>1st—<em>burning hands/freezing hands¹</em> (DC 15), <em>magic missile</em> (×2), <em>shield</em>, <em>unseen servant</em>;</p><p>0—<em>detect magic</em>, <em>message</em> (×2), <em>resistance</em>.</p><p>¹ mirror spell.</p><p>² new spell - see <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6411871#post6411871" target="_blank">kamerel mages</a>.</p><p></p><p><strong>Equipment:</strong> <em>+2 ring of protection</em>, <em>+2 headband of intellect</em>, <em>+1 dagger</em>, <em>hand of the mage</em>, two <em>scrolls of scry mirror</em> and 18 gp.</p><p></p><p><em>Originally from Tales From the Infinite Staircase</em> (1998)</p><p></p><p>Skill Points</p><p></p><p><strong><em><span style="font-size: 12px">Equipment</span></em></strong></p><p><strong></strong><strong>Budget:</strong> 16,000 gp [10th level NPC]</p><p><em>+2 ring of protection</em> (8,000 gp)</p><p><em>+2 headband of intellect</em> (4,000 gp)</p><p><em>+1 dagger</em> (2,302 gp)</p><p><em>hand of the mage</em> (900 gp)</p><p>two <em>scrolls of scry mirror</em> (780 gp)</p><p><strong>Spent:</strong> 15,982 gp</p><p><strong>Remainder:</strong> 18 gp</p></blockquote><p></p>
