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 help, one of many things can happen:

  • Target the party:
    • Augmented magic: spells cast by the party will cause (or heal) more damage.
    • Cure party: this will cure the entire party of all status ailments.
    • Heal party: MADI is cast on the entire party.
    • Protect party (MAHAMAN only): reduces the armor class of all party members by 20 for the remainder of the encounter.
    • Raise the dead (MAHAMAN only): dead characters are brought back to life with the DI spell.
  • Target the enemies:
    • Silence enemies: all of the monsters will be silenced, unable to cast spells.
    • Teleport enemies: all of the monsters that you face will be suddenly teleported away from battle.
