Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 12:26:16 -0800 From: Michael Smith Subject: New Spell: Cauldron of Life Here's a new spell from my GURPS Bloody Europe 1192 campaign. It helps mages create those weird beasties that populate popular fiction (Note: in my campaign, I allow Create Hybrid without the prerequisite of Analyze Genetics). Cauldron of Life (VH) Enchantment Allows the mage to create a cauldron, barrel, bucket, or other container that can sustain a developing embryo or series of embryos as if it were a living womb, much like a low-tech version of the artificial wombs from Bio-Tech. This spell is routinely used by mages wishing to create magical hybrids and other such weird homunculi. In order to work, the cauldron must be filled with a special concoction of herbs, chemicals and salts. Cost: 50 per gallon of cauldron capacity Prerequisites: Enchant, Accelerate Pregnancy, Transfer Pregnancy and 10 spells from Healing and Body Control -Mike
