==Blood Magic==
Blood Magic is exclusively used by LizardFolk, and is the cornerstone of the Illuminated’s belief system.

Although Sorcerors use a large number of lower-level spells there are few spellcasters (mainly Illuminated) who wield more powerful magics: but there is a catch. Arcane spells of level 6 or above require a portion of the users life force, albeit temporarily (damage can be healed as normal). The exception is Necromantic spells - these can be cast normally without any penalty.

{|border=1
!Spell Level!!HP cost
|-
|Level 6||costs 1d4 HP to cast
|-
|Level 7||costs 1d6 HP to cast
|-
|Level 8||costs 1d8 HP to cast
|-
|Level 9||costs 1d10 HP to cast
|}

LizardFolk recharge their magic items using their blood and a number of items exist enabling them to channel their magic without life force cost.

==Clerical Magic==
Note: The Illuminated (worshippers of the Serpent Gods) have no clerical magic as such, but the Unenlightened have shamans of Semuanya.

=New spells=
==Beget Bogun==

Conjuration (Creation)

Level: Drd 1

Components: V, S, M, XP

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Effect: Tiny construct

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: No

Beget bogun allows you to infuse living magic into a small mannequin that you have created from vegetable matter.

This is the final spell in the process of creating a [[Bogun]]. See the bogun’s description for further details.

Material Component: The mannequin from which the bogun is created.

XP Cost: 25 XP.

==Charge of the Triceratops==
Transmutation

Level: Drd 4

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: Living creature touched

Duration: 1 round/level (D)

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

The spell’s recipient grows large horns, a bony skull plate, and thickened hide similar to those possessed by a triceratops.

This grants a natural gore attack that deals 1d8 damage (2d8 when used in a charge). The recipient also gains a +4 enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armour bonus. The enhancement bonus provided by charge of the triceratops stacks with the target’s natural armour bonus, but not with other enhancement bonuses to natural armour.

==Enrage Animal==
Enchantment (Compulsion)

[Mind-affecting]

Level: Drd 1, Rgr 2

Components: V, S

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Targets: One animal per 3 levels, no two of which may be more than 30 ft. apart

Duration: Concentration +1 round/level

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: Yes

Enrage animal affects only creatures of the animal type and bestows a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +1 morale bonus on Will saves, and a -2 penalty to AC. This effect is otherwise identical to a barbarian’s rage (see page 25 in the Players Handbook) except that the animal is not fatigued at the end of the rage.
==Sink==
Transmutation

Level: Clr 4, Drd 4

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Targets: One creature per 3 levels, no two of which may be more than 30 feet apart

Duration: 1 round/level (D)

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

When this spell is cast it causes 1 creature per 3 caster levels that is currently in water or another liquid to sink. Each round, each affected creature must make a DC 25 Swim check. If this check is successful, then the creatures can swim at a normal rate. If the check fails by 4 or less, the creature stays in place, balanced against the pull of the spell. If the creature fails by 5 or more, it sinks 30 feet or until it hits bottom. Once on the bottom, the creature must still make a Swim check to move.
==Swamp Lung==
Conjuration (Creation)

Level: Drd 5

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Target: One living creature with a respiratory system

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Fortitude negates

Spell Resistance: No

This spell causes stagnant swamp water to flood the target’s lungs. If the target is unable to breathe water, it must cough it out. If it makes the save, then this expulsion is done with little effort. If it fails, then the creature drops to the ground in a fit of coughing for 1d6 rounds and is helpless during that time. Furthermore, on a failed save, the target contracts filth fever (see page 292 in the '''Dungeon Master’s Guide''').
Creatures able to breathe water must make the Fortitude save in order to avoid the disease, but are otherwise unaffected.
==Swamp Stride==
Conjuration (Teleportation)

Level: Drd 5, Rgr 4

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Personal

Target: You

Duration: 1 hour/level or until expended; see text.

This spell functions as tree stride, but is performed by diving into swamp water and puddles rather than trees. Each pool must be at least 1 foot deep, and the exit pool of water must be similar in depth to the entry pool (within 1 foot). Unlike tree stride, each jump has a maximum range of 500 feet. All other effects and limitations are the same.
==Swim==
Transmutation

Level: Drd 3, Rgr 3

Components: V, S, M

Casing Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: Creature touched

Duration: 1 hour/level

Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)

Spell Resistance: Yes

The subject gains a swim speed equal to its land speed and can move at that speed without making Swim checks. The subject also gains a +8 bonus on any Swim checks made to perform special actions or to avoid hazards. The subject can choose to take 10 on Swim checks, use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

Material Component: The scale or fin of a fish or other aquatic animal.
==Swim, Mass==
Transmutation

Level: Drd 6

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft/2 levels)

Targets: One creature per level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

The spell functions like '''swim''', except as noted above.

=Existing spells=
A number of spells function in odd ways in the New World considering the nature of the area, especially ones relating Death and Necromancy. These differences are noted below. Unless noted below, spells have their normal effect otherwise.

==Animate Dead==
The caster controls 5HD per level, rather than the usual 4HD.
==Circle of Death==
Slays 1d4+1 HD per caster level, rather than 1d4.
==Command Undead==
Undead receive a +2 bonus to the opposed Charisma roll.
==Create Undead==
The casters level is counted as being two levels higher for purposes of the number of the Undead created i.e. a 12th level caster casting this spell is counted as being at 14th level.
==Create Greater Undead==
The casters level is counted as being two levels higher for purposes of the number of the Undead created i.e. a 12th level caster casting this spell is counted as being at 14th level.
==Detect Evil/Good==
This spell fails - the caster only picks up the residual energy of evil and cannot detect any aura.
==Dispel Evil==
Evil creatures get a +2 bonus to their saving throws.
==Energy Drain==
Target gains 2d4+1 negative levels, rather than 2d4. The effects on Undead last a number of hours equal to the caster level.
==Enervation==
Target gains 1d4+1 negative levels, rather than 1d4. The effects on Undead last a number of hours equal to the caster level.
==Hallow==
Casting time is one week, not 24 hours.
==Planar Ally==
Likely to be Couatl, or reptile of some description.
==Reincarnate==
Most likely to be LizardFolk, or some reptile.
==Summon Monster==
Summons a non-planar creature - a reptile in all likelihood.
