<strong>Vigour</strong><br/>A useful spell for Brotherhood members anticipating combat,<br/>this spell draws on some of the knowledge of battle that exists<br/>in the collective psychic resonance of all warriors in the world<br/>of Magnamund. This conflict wisdom infuses the caster,<br/>making him capable of wielding weapons of war with great<br/>skill.<br/><br/><em>Tier One: Man-at-Arms (1 Endurance)</em><br/>This version of the Vigour spell grants the caster the ability to<br/>wield any weapon as if he was proficient in its use. He may<br/>also wear armour of any kind and even bear a shield but he<br/>cannot cast any Brotherhood spells but Vigour in its various<br/>forms while doing so. Man-at-Arms lasts one hour per casting<br/>and cannot be cast more times per day than the Brotherhood<br/>wizard’s class level.<br/><br/><em>Tier Two: Swordpact (2 Endurance)</em><br/>Not actually limited to swords, this Tier of the Vigour<br/>spell binds the caster (or a single touched recipient) to one<br/>currently held weapon. While wielding it during the duration<br/>of Swordpact, the beneficiary of the spell gains a +1 bonus<br/>to attack and damage rolls and cannot be disarmed. The<br/>weapon itself cannot be broken for the spell’s duration while<br/>its wielder still has Endurance. Swordpact’s only drawback is<br/>that for the length of its duration (two rounds per caster’s class<br/>level), the recipient cannot put the bound weapon down.<br/><br/><em>Tier Three: Wrath of War (5 Endurance)</em><br/>This form of Vigour cannot be cast if the cost would reduce<br/>the Brotherhood wizard’s Endurance below 1. It duplicates<br/>the effects of Swordpact and Man-at-Arms while adhering<br/>to the limitations of both. It lasts only one round per point<br/>of positive Intelligence modifier possessed by the caster<br/>(minimum of one round). In addition to its other two effects,<br/>Wrath of War adds a further +2 bonus to damage rolls and also<br/>allows the Brotherhood wizard to attack in melee using his<br/>magical combat skill bonus; this may also provide him with<br/>additional attacks as well.<br/>
