Midge's Formula and Spell List

Midge
Class Alchemist Archetype Beastmorph Level 1 Race Gnome Experience Points 950 Details Full Name Midge Age 38 Alignment Neutral Good Homeland Turquoise Shire Favored Class Alchemist

Background

In the Turquoise Shire sat a little Halfling village. It was a quiet, provincial village. Nothing exciting happened all that often, unless you counted the annual festivals to celebrate the seasonal holidays. For a young gnome girl it wasn’t the most fun place to grow up, but for Midge it was the only home she knew.

She was raised by a gnome woman, who she was pretty sure was her birth mother, a man who she knew wasn’t her birth father but treated her like a daughter anyway, and an elderly gnome woman who she called Granny, there exact blood relationship was in question. With gnomes it really didn’t matter. They are firm believers in the ‘it takes a village’ theory. In this case it was a halfling village.

Midge’s parents were landowners, with a large farm that sustained most of the village with produce. They were quite well off, able to provide for their only daughter easily. What they couldn’t provide however was adventure. Adventure was something that the young gnome Midge was always on the lookout for adventure. And oft times this lead to trouble and one time death…or pretty close to it. It was this near-death experience that put her on the path to becoming an alchemist and also lead Midge to her greatest regret.

Nature (Fire) Sphere

Manipulate Lava

• Spell Point Cost: 1
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Intantaneous or Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You can either create a vortex in lava or freeze it.

If you create a vortex it is 5 ft wide at its base, is 10 feet high and 2 and a 1/2 ft wide at the top. Any creature entering this area must pass a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + INT modifier) or suffer fire damage equal to 1d8. If the creature is smaller than the vortex they must pass a second Reflex save or be pulled into the middle of the vortex. Each round a creature is within the vortex they take 1d8 additional damage and must make a Reflex save to escape. The vortex cannot contain more than one creature. You may move the vortex up to 30 ft per round with a concentration check. The vortex lasts so long as you continue to spend a Standard action to concentrate on it.

If you are freezing the lava, it becomes obsidian with a hardness of 5 and 3 hit points in a 5 ft by 5 ft area.

This ability requires lava to be present and does not create it.

Create Fire

• Spell Point Cost: 0
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You can create a fire either the size of a tindertwig fire (fine), the size of a torch (diminutive) or the size of a small campfire (tiny). The fire burns without fuel and is sustained for as long as you concentrate on it (spending one standard action per round to do so). You may spend a spell point to continue the fire without concentration for one round. Flammable item can be ignited by the fire. If a target is in the area where the fire begins they will suffer damage based on the fire size (1 HP for fine fires, 1d3 for diminutive fires, 1d6 for tiny fires) and possible catch fire. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 caster level + INT modifier) halves the damage and the target avoids catching fire.

Affect Fire

• Spell Point Cost: 0
• Action: Standard
• Duration: Concentration
• Range: Close (25 ft)

You may increase or decrease the size of a normal, non-magical fire of tiny (small campfire) size or smaller by 1 category. The change is temporary and the fire will return to normal after the effect ends. To continue the effect you must spend a standard action to Concentrate on it. You may also spend a spell point to continue the effect for 1 round without concentrating. A person on fire counts as a tiny fire for the purposes of this ability.
