Last time around I proposed four new cantrips for spell casters intrinsically tied to the powerful genie lords that seek to rule the Land of Fate. To ensure that everyone here is on the same page, I created these genie lords and they are not from any other source material currently published. Unfortunately I don’t have all of the Al-Qadim supplements to draw from, but I pray you forgive me, gentle readers, and allow me the latitude to indulge in some new content creation. I digress, as this is not really about the individual genie lords, but is instead is a presentation of further spells provided by whichever genie lords you wish to have present them.
One of the ideas I would like to get across in running Al-Qadim is the concept of genies being incapable of changing their base natures without considerable effort and risk to themselves. Genies rely upon the most basic understandings of their natures and concepts in order to achieve power and prestige. To them, there is no need to risk exposure to change that could potential alter their core existence. The same is true of their gifts to mortals. Thus far I have outlined two types of spells that a genie might teach to a mortal, or might be found as spells a mortal can use to invoke the power of a genie. One allows a mortal spell caster to become not unlike genie kind for a duration. The other allows a mortal to invoke the elemental power of the genie.
A goal I have had with this setting is to keep these initial blessings as the core of the spells offered via genie, and all other spells simply alter what exists, essentially invoking more of the genie into the world. This, like before, is not a subtle thing. The theme here is the altering of the genie’s gift into something more than the initial gift. This is the greedy mortal asking for more, and becoming more indebted to the genie in response.
