WEB

ZUUT

The spider is a creature both giant and tiny, but almost regardless of size it uses a substance which when utilised by Mancers to similar effects, has great potential.

Web is an offensive or defensive Manc, dependent upon the method in which it is used. It creates a substance in almost replication of that of the spider. The web created issues forth from the caster's open hand or item, and can be thrown over a victim, or else cast over an opening or aperture to block the way and capture anything that tries to pass through.

Generally it looks like a large white-coloured web, each strand is very strong and sticky, arranged, typically, in an orb-web pattern, although each caster, and even each caster's level has its own subtle distinctive arrangement.

The strength of the web is such that a great strength is needed to pull it apart. The STR needed is dependent upon the Mancer's Level and indicates the minimum strength needed to try and break free.

LEVEL	STR		LEVEL	STR		LEVEL	STR		LEVEL	STR
1	60		5	150		9	400		13	775
2	80		6	200		10	475		14	875
3	100		7	260		11	575		15	1,000
4	120		8	325		12	675		16+	+250

The adhesive qualities is such that almost any surface touched is immediately stuck and held-fast, ignoring oils and lubricants, water, or frictionless substances. Manc weapons such as easy cutting, speed or exploding have no effect and are also caught. Only flame and flame projecting weapons can cut or destroy the strands of webbing.

Fire not only burns the strand first ignited, but causes the whole web itself to become a short-lived inferno. Anything caught in the web and vulnerable to fire is affected by the fire as if it was a great blaze, albeit for a moment. Typically a Serevmen suffers 1D4+3 Level Wounds.

Escape from a web is only possible with fire, incredible strength, Free Movement, Banish Manc, or when the Duration of the Manc ends, where the web seems to evaporate into nothing.

Range of the web is equal to the Mancer's, or creator's, level x 10 feet.

Web is adaptable by increasing or decreasing the Power Levels at creation. These Power Levels dictate the effect of the web upon casting. all the adaptations below are cumulative in effect and Power Level.

• To create a nearly invisible web raise Power Levels by 3.
• To create a nearly invisible web, but with half STR to break raise Power Level by 1.
• To extend the normal Duration by the Level of the Mancer raise Power Levels by 2, note that Level 1 Mancers can not achieve this adaptation.
• To form the web in a shape or design as whished up to maximum size raise Power Levels by 3.
• To ensure the caster is immune to their own web's adhesive qualities raise Power Levels by 2.
• To create a non-adhesive web raise Power Levels by 3.
• To increase the STR needed to break the web by +50 raise the Power Level by 1. Note: this may be applied multiple times cumulatively.

Item Creation:-

To create and store the Manc in an item the Mancer must first gather the correct and necessary ingredients and combine them in a specific order whilst repeating the creation vocals on each addition and when mixing together, also a vocal ritual must be performed during the seeping process and boiling down of the unguent.

Natural webbing, a handful of dust, half a pint of any oil, 6 ounces of fly's wings, a silver thread, 1 dozen eggs, small particles of the creator's skin from their palm (this may be slivers, dried skin or a piece), breath (a long breath, approximately 10 heartbeats worth), Whole spider (a part of a spider may be used, but increases the Power Level by 1). To reduce the Power Level by 1 use crushed Tarse leaves in the proportion of 1 per level of creator.

The unguent also needs the grease of a beast mixed with either half a pint of spider venom, or (increasing the Power Level by 1) 1 pint of insect juice. This grease mixture becomes the base unguent once boiled down with the other ingredients.
