Bone Spike: Level 0 Bonemancy
The spell allows the mage to shoot a spike of sharpened bone at an opponent.
This is an aimed spell. Base chance to hit is 50%+5xBonemancy Level+5xINT.
Base Damage: 30+5xINT+10xBonemancy Level
Note: This spell requires a small bone spike to cast. If no material component is available, the spell will use a bone chip from the casters body, and inflict 10 points of health damage.
Mana Cost: 25 Exploding Skull: Level 0 Bonemancy
The spell allows the mage to imbue a great deal of mana into a skull, turning it into an explosive device. Less versatile than a fireball, it makes up for it in damage. Base Damage: 60+10 per level of Bonemancy+(0 to 40 additional damage)
Mana Cost: 50 Extra Rib Bone: Level 1 Bonemancy
The Bonemancer enhances his own skeleton by adding a rib from another creature, enhancing it with runes. This is a ritual and will take one hour to perform. Also hurts quite a bit. In some cases, a bit of the donors personality may linger, along with memories. Mend Bones: Level 1 Bonemancy
This spell will restore health to a skeletal minion at the rate of 1 mana for 2 health. It will restore up to half of the missing health the caster has taken from wounds that can break or injure his skeleton. Healing will vary. Next to nothing from an arrow wound, quite a bit for a head wound from a mace. You may mend yourself at the cost of 1 mana for 2 health restored, and mend other living creatures at the cost of 2 mana for 1 health restored. Grasp of the Dead: Level 2 Bonemancy
Spectral hands emerge from the earth or floor grabbing an opponent. The hands have an effective STR of 10 and will hold your opponent at that spot for 10 seconds. Higher STR opponents can break the bonds and free themselves. Mana Cost: 75 Brittle Bones: Level 2 Bonemancy

Mana Cost: 100 Whirling Bones: Level 3 Bonemancy
