HAMAN and MAHAMAN

These spells can only be cast by a character whose level is 13 or higher. The caster appeals to the gods for help, consuming 1 experience level. If the gods respond, one of many things can happen:

• Target the party:
  • Augmented magic: spells cast by the party will cause (or heal) more damage.
  • Cure party: cures all party members of all conditions.
  • Heal party: MADI is cast on all party members.
  • Protect party (MAHAMAN only): reduces the armor class of all party members by 20 for the duration of the combat.
  • Raise the dead (MAHAMAN only): all dead characters are resurrected with the DI spell.
• Target the enemies:
  • Silence enemies: all monsters will be silenced.
  • Teleport enemies: all monsters will be teleported away from battle.
