>incant 1408
You converge all your willpower on the thought of the Astral Spear spell...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at an Ithzir seer.
You project a thin spear of nacreous light at an Ithzir seer!
  AS: +614 vs DS: +358 with AvD: +43 + d100 roll: +94 = +393
   ... and hit for 154 points of damage!
   Strike to right arm cleanly severs it at the shoulder!
   The seer's crystal-tipped staff falls to the ground.
   The Ithzir seer is knocked to the ground!

 ** With an opaline flare, the nacreous spear passes through the Ithzir seer, disrupting the veil of wards surrounding it! **

The dim aura fades from around an Ithzir seer.
A murky veil surrounds an Ithzir seer.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

A number of Major Mental and Savant spells can now be found on scrolls. At least for the time being, these spells will also be inaccessible via Fash'lo'nae's Gift (1750).

Comprehend Languages (1315):
Comprehend Languages is a standard duration (20 min + 1 min/spell rank) buff on the caster that allows them to understand, but not speak, any racial languages that characters can normally learn. At 20 ranks of Mental Lore - Divination, they can understand cultural languages and then guild languages at 50 ranks of Mental Lore - Divination.

Clarity of Thought (1319):
Provides +30 Mental CS for the next cast within 2 minutes. The duration does not stack, but the spell is castable on others.

Astral Spear (1408):
Projects a spear from the astral plane that pierces the target and has a chance to dispel a spell from the target. This is a bolt spell, so uses Spell Aiming to determine Attack Strength. The base chance for a dispel is 15% + 1% per 5 ranks of Mental Mana Control.

Displace (1409):
Allows the caster to teleport an object to or from another character. The spell works across vast distances within the caster's current teleportation zone, but also outside of it, once they have 25 ranks of Mental Lore - Transference. The recipient is prompted to ACCEPT or DECLINE sending or receiving the item. Not all items are eligible and only one item may be sent (no containers with other items inside).

Mana Burst (1414):
Primary single-target damage spell that excites the mana weave around a target and causes it to flare with multiple cycles of energy criticals. Each cycle of damage, the damage flavor is randomly chosen from several energy types. Training in Mental Lore - Manipulation provides a chance to cause a fourth damage cycle. The chance is ( Mental Lore - Manipulation ranks / 1.5) percent. The potential critical types are: Disintegration, Disruption, Electrical, Grapple, Plasma, Vacuum.

Astral Vault (1417):
Allows the caster to open an extradimensional pocket to the astral plane to store items. Base storage is up to 50 lbs with +1 lb per 2 ranks of Mental Lore - Transference.

Convoke (1435):
Allows the caster to summon another character to their room. The spell works across vast distances within the caster's current teleportation zone, but also outside of it, once they have 50 ranks of Mental Lore - Transference. The recipient is prompted to ACCEPT or DECLINE being teleported. This spell will also be live, but will not show up on scrolls. It could be available through other means in the future.

Comprehend Languages, Clarity of Thought, and Mana Burst were coded by former GameMaster Oscuro. Huge thanks to GameMaster Gyres who provided messaging for all of these spells!

@Idalias Really cool to see this stuff released. Can you have both a floating disk and a 1417 vault active?

Yes, it’s possible to have both present at the same time.

@Rolfard Would that send spell work with gem jars? (Asking because container counts as one item in this case)

Yes, Displace (1409) should work with alchemy jars (for the reason you state - it’s technically a single item).

A note about Displace’s usage: it will check right or left hand (in that order). And keep in mind, it’s send or receive. If nothing is in the caster’s hands, it assume they want to receive an item and checks the target’s hands.

It's been live since the announcement, but each scroll is themed (typically by profession), so there's a lot of variety. There's a 1:13 chance to find a Savant scroll.

@Tysong Estild, considering Telekinetic Disarm (1406) is currently being used by creatures in Moonsedge, when can we see that added as an option for scrolls? Or is it already out there?

That's not the real spell version, although in effect, they're the similar. It would also be one of the easier spells to code.

@Tysong Will the creatures in Moonsedge get updated to use the real version once it's released? If it's not the same spell, is there an appropriate name/ability we should use to reference whatever it is gaudy phantasmic conjurers use then? Or safe to just call it that for now until 1406 gets fully fleshed and completed? https://gswiki.play.net/Telekinetic_Disarm_(1406)

Their version is called Animate Weapon. It's definitely different the previous intended design of Telekinetic Disarm, which was mostly going to mimic the old Wizard version. But the former is a lot more neat and useful.

@Precious Altheren Does astral vault persist indefinitely? Just takes the spell to access it? Maybe this was answered. But I didn’t see it

Correct, the contents are stored indefinitely. But as Rolfard noted, use caution if accessing it as a non-native caster.
