System:Power Level 8 Spells
From DevilshireWiki
For magic spells with Resists on them, the SLs of the resist are subtracted from the SLs of the casting roll, just like in combat, to determine both duration of spell and damage.
Breath of Life
Quick Cast: No
Requirements: The ritual requires a four hour long ritual involving four casters carrying something to represent one of the four elements. The corpse is anointed with the juice of a holly berry, ash of the alder and the ash of cypress tree. Casters must provide 20 LP each towards the spell. A corpse is required; it must be able to function when resurrected. No headless, heartless, or torsoless people, please.
Effect: Once the ritual is completed the life energy given up in the spell pours into the body and settles into it, causing the body to begin reanimating the body, calling the soul from the beyond to reenter the body and binding the soul there until the person dies again. If used on a PC, they still need to spend the 10 drama points required to return.
Miscast: Should the spell fail, it automatically drains an additional 20 LP from each caster and the soul can never be returned to the body.

Corsheth's Bind Person
Quick Cast: Yes
Requirements: The caster looks at the victim, points, and says a short invocation to Corsheth.
Effect: The target of this spell is instantly transformed into magical energy and stored inside an object previously anointed by dragon-blood oil. The victim is aware and awake while trapped but unable to do anything. Breaking the object frees the victim. The spell works on whoever the caster is looking at and pointing to, so a well-timed shove or use of a mirror can change the intended target or disrupt the spell entirely.
Duration: Permanent until anointed object broken
Resist: Willpower/Occultism
Non-Violence Spell
Quick Cast: No
Requirements: Three or more casters. A whole lot of time.
Effect: This spell is cast on a location. Anyone inside the location is surrounded by a force field that protects them from all harm. Anyone trying to harm another is blasted, taking the casters' cumulative Willpower x Success Levels of the casting in damage. The ritual does not protect property and will not affect someone, either positively or negatively, who is outside the building.
Duration: Permanent
Retrieval Spell
Quick Cast: No
Requirements: A pentagram with a circle drawn in it. Five black candles. A horn, some black stones, and some fur. A small pile of stones is set in the center.
Effect: This spell retrieves something or someone that has been lost (but not stolen). If cast right, the lost item or person replaces the stones in the center of the circle.
Reverse Transformation
Quick Cast: No
Requirements: Reading a short but obscure incantation.
Effect: Magical transformations are reversed. Frogs become princes. Rats become witches. You know the drill.
