Whereas mortals gain spells through study (magic-users and elves) or meditation (clerics and druids) an Immortal can recreate any magic-user, cleric, or druid spell effects of all types and levels by expending Power Points (PP).
An Index to Magical Effects lists all the possible magical effects in alphabetical order and gives the corresponding Sphere for each:
Power Cost:
The actual PP cost of creating any magical effect is calculated by doubling the base Power cost for each step along the circular path defining the relationships between the Spheres of Power.
Magic of any origin, mortal or Immortal, has no effect on an incorporeal being, and magical effects created by mortals have no effect on Immortals in any form.
General Notes:
An Immortal may increase the range of a magical effect by doubling the cost. The amount of increase is equal to the original range. Duration may be increased in the same manner.
Whenever a magical effect summons a creature, the victim must be able to respond using its normal type of movement. Thus, transplanar summoning is only effective if the victim can cross planar boundaries, or if preceded by a gate or similar effect to enable such movement.
Conjuring refers to a magical effect that actually creates a creature. In such cases the life force involved might be summoned, but is automatically drawn into the form created (possibly across planar boundaries).
The damage produced by any single magical effect cast by an Immortal (including fire ball, lightning bolt, etc.) is ld6 per Hit Die (not level) of the Immortal creating it. Thus, the most powerful fire ball known, created by a Hierarch (HD 45), inflicts 45-270 points of damage.
If the Immortal victim's Anti-Magic does not negate a mental attack, and if the saving throw vs. Mental Attack is failed, even an Immortal mind can fall victim to charm, feeblemind, and other effects.
