Abjuration Found in: Bundled with all summon spells for free. Used for: Removing your summons without needing to kill them. Strategy: Using this is faster, safer, and uses less energy, verses using offensive spells to kill your own summons. You can also abjurate away other peoples' summons. Description This spell is bundled with all summon spells spells (e.g. Summon Creature, Summon Automaton, etc) for free. Click the summoned mob to send them back. This effectively removes them from the map, making the summon slots that mob was using be freed. Player-controlled summoned creatures cannot be removed using this spell. This will also work on creatures created through supernatural means, generally where a Cult might be involved. Using this on Cult Constructs will 'purge' them in a similar manner to using the null rod on them. Using this spell on Nar'sie is not recommended.

Apportation Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Stealing items without needing to be nearby, through windows. Strategy: Can be used to steal weapons that your enemies' dropped after you stunned them, or to steal things from adjacent rooms if you have vision in that room somehow. Description Click the item you want to tele-steal. Stolen items are placed in the same hand that the spell was in. Objects that are 'anchored' cannot be teleported. Holding a Scepter allows for infinite tele-theft range.

Audible Deception Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Playing specific sounds at a specific point. Strategy: Tricking the crew that there's a gunfire or something happening. Description Use in-hand to select a sound to play. The spell can be dropped, and the selected sound will be remembered for the next time you use this spell. The Scepter adds a new sound to the list of options, a very loud airhorn. Anyone within range of the air horn will be deafened, and may be knocked out, if unprotected. This can affect the caster, if unprotected. Earmuffs will protect from the airhorn. The airhorn costs significantly more energy and results in a lot of instability.

Ball Lightning Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Shooting a ball of lightning that bounces off walls. Strategy: For best results, use in tight quarters so it results in a lot of bounces. Description Fires a 'ball' of lightning that bounces off of walls. Anyone who touches the ball will receive a shock. Every time the ball hits a wall and bounces, a shock is sent out to anyone within two tiles of the impact. Balls can go through glass without hitting it. After enough bounces, or distance, the ball explodes into a final, stronger zap, and a flash of light. Shocks are weak, but can add up if used in tight spaces like maintenance. If a Scepter is held, the ball has a chance to bounce towards a non-allied mob instead of bouncing in the normal way. High shock resist gear is recommended for the caster to avoid killing themselves. Your standard jumpsuit and wizard hat already has respectable shock resistance. Tips: Condensation, or otherwise getting your targets soaked in water, will reduce their electrical resistance. Reflect and Shield can protect you from hitting yourself from the ball itself. They can't protect you from the shock from hitting solid objects, however.

Banish Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Sending people to a very dark place for a few seconds. Strategy: The banished person has no way of knowing what is happening until they come back. Description Sends target mob away to a black void for a few seconds. Things in the void cannot see, hear, or otherwise interact with the station. After a short period of time, the mob will be teleported back to where they were standing prior to being banished. Non-Technomancers who were banished will receive a small amount of brain damage. All mobs who got banished will receive a modifier that makes them immune to further banishments for a few minutes. Holding a Scepter makes the banish duration longer.

Bind Object Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Binding one object to your core, then being able to teleport it to you whenever you want. Strategy: Very useful as insurance against losing something very valuable like your apprentice's core, or your Scepter. It's also amazing for screwing with the crew. Description Click on an adjacent object that is not anchored to bind it to your core. If you already have a bound item, a confirmation prompt appears. If you select yes, it will replace which item you will be able to teleport back. Use in-hand to teleport the bound object to yourself, if you have one marked. If possible, you will pick up the object you stole in the same hand as the spell. This won't occur for things which can't be held, like crates. Teleporting an object to yourself while holding a Scepter, and if the object is inside a container, the whole container, along with its contents, will also be teleported to you if possible. Containers that contain the container holding your bound object are also brought along. If your bound object is a pen inside a PDA, that's in an internal box, that's in a bag, and is finally inside a closet, then the closet and all of it's contents is teleported to you. Mobs will not be teleported, however if they were wearing a container, the container will vanish. This can include jumpsuits if webbing was involved.

Blink Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Teleporting objects, other people, or yourself to a nearby random tile. Strategy: Blinking other people briefly confuses them. This is very effective if they're chasing after you, when near a lot of walls. Description Forces a clicked object or mob to teleport to a random tile nearby. Anchored things cannot be blinked. Blinking something in melee range increases the potential distance of the blink. Self blinking increases the range even more, and is also cheaper. Mobs who are blinked will be confused for about a second. Self blinking will not confuse the caster. Both the Scepter and additional Spell Power makes potential blink distance increase.

Chroma Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Making the floor glow for a few minutes. Strategy: Making a lot of purple somewhere can scare people into thinking that they'll get instability if they get close. Description Use in-hand to select a specific color. This color is saved and will be remembered if the spell is dropped and reacquired. Holding the spell will make you glow in the chosen color. Clicking on the floor will cause it to glow in the chosen color for a few minutes.

Circle of Combat Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Cutting off escape from your enemies. Strategy: You can use this spell both offensively and defensively. Description Makes a circular wall around the caster. The circle walls block movement and projectiles, but can be broken in a few hits regardless of damage. The walls last for ten seconds. Using it on a target centers the circle on the mob clicked, while using it inhand centers it on the caster. Clicking a tile will try to make the spell target the closest non-allied mob to where the click happened. Mobs intersecting the circle on creation will be nudged out if possible. Otherwise they will be nudged in, if that is possible. While standing inside the Circle, the Technomancer and allies receive a combat buff aura. If holding a Scepter, and the spell is casted on a specific mob, all other non-allied mobs are blinked outside. Tips: It has a longer than average cooldown, so try to avoid wasting casts if possible. This spell can be used defensively by casting it far enough away so that you are outside the circle, but still trapping your enemies inside. You can use Passwall on these walls as well, if you need to escape the circle quickly. This spell can be useful for summoners, as summons will also receive the combat buff if they're inside the circle.

Condensation Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Turning the floor slippery wet. Strategy: Slipping people chasing after you. Frost and Shock functions are also stronger if the victim is wet, or they are standing on wet floors. Description Clicking on a floor will cause the floor and all adjacent floor tiles to become wet, if nothing is in the way. This also extinguishes fires. This essentially makes a 3x3 square become slippery, with the center being the tile clicked on. People standing close enough to the clicked tile will be hit with a spray of water, in the same manner as if a fire extinguisher was used. This makes them temporarily more resistant to fire and heat, less resistant to electricity, and less resistant to the cold. Prometheans will receive minor harm. If a Scepter is held when clicking a floor tile, several clouds of mist are released in addition to splashing water on the ground. Clouds of mist are similar to smoke clouds, however anyone touching the mist cloud will have water applied to them. Clouds of mist also do not block vision. Clicking on a fluid container, such as a beaker, will fill it with water.

Control Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Micro-managing your army of creatures. Strategy: Buy at least one summon spell so you can make your own army. Description This spell is likely one of the most complicated spells available in terms of contextual clicking. When clicking on a mob: If the entity is not a player, and if the entity is an animal or simple robot, clicking on them will select them. Selected mobs will have a green web-like effect over them. They will also not be able to make most decisions themselves. This makes that mob selected. Selected mobs won't initiate any conflicts, but they will still fight back if attacked by something else. Selected mobs will stay selected even if the spell is dropped. If they are already selected, clicking again will deselect them, reverting what selecting does. If instead they are not de/selectable, but are allied to the Technomancer, all selected mobs will follow them harmlessly. Otherwise, clicking on them will order any selected mobs to attack the clicked on mob. Clicking onto the floor will make all selected mobs move towards the tile clicked. Clicking onto a solid wall will make all selected mobs attempt to attack the wall clicked on. Clicking on an object, like windows, will make all selected mobs attempt to attack the object clicked on. Using the spell in-hand will toggle whether or not selected mobs are allowed to attack things on their own. Using a Scepter in-hand with this spell will teleport all selected mobs to you, one at a time. Each teleport has a short delay, and has a small cost in energy and instability.

Dispel Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Removing buffs, debuffs, and things causing an area of effect early. Strategy: Having high instability can give nasty debuffs, which this spell can remove instantly. Description Removes most Technomancer-related buffs and debuffs from mobs within a 3x3 area of the tile clicked. All Technomancer status effects are removed, even beneficial ones. Also removes various objects which do something in an area of effect, such as Fire Blast, Destabilize, or Pulsar.

Energy Siphon Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Transferring energy between things. Strategy: Useful for quickly recharging your core, or a favored energy weapon. Description Click on something to attempt to drain energy from it, and into your core's energy reserves. Clicking on anything else afterwards will cancel the beam. Can drain from or give to objects like SMES units, APCs, exposed cabling, or power cells. Certain power related machinery like APCs are incapable of receiving energy. The beam is canceled if that is the case. Can drain from or give to mobs if they also have a core, or are a FBP. Cores are prioritized, if the mob has one. If your core is full, and you are an FBP, the surplus energy can be used to recharge yourself. The beam will zap anyone who touches it for minor amounts of shock damage. The caster, and the target cannot touch it, as it moves with them. Anyone inbetween those two can potentially touch the beam, however. The beam costs a small amount of energy to maintain, so transfers are not 100% efficient. If no energy is able to be gained, the beam is automatically canceled. Use the spell in-hand to toggle between draining energy and giving it. Tips: It is suggested to acquire this spell, or a similar energy-generating one if you are using specific cores with poor energy regeneration. This can be used in a supportive fashion by recharging fellow Technomancers' cores, using your own energy, which you can get back by draining the station's electricity. Things that contain power cells, like energy weapons, can be recharged with this spell if set to 'give' mode.

Flame Tongue Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Lighting people next to you on fire, then spreading that fire to anyone near them. Strategy: Repeated casts add more fire onto the target, as each cast makes its own instance of fire. Description Click on a mob adjacent to you to make them combust into flames. Further clicks on them will create a burst of flame to erupt around the mob, igniting other nearby mobs, and applying an additional stack of fire on the primary target. You and your allies are protected from the burst. Clothing that protects from high temperature, like firesuits and atmos' voidsuits, will make the wearer immune to this spell.

Gambit Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Asking the Almighty RNG to give you a useful spell you don't already own. Strategy: The spell has a longer than average cooldown, so it's best to use between fights and not in the middle of one. Description Clicking the HUD button immediately gives you a random spell in your active hand. The spell you get can include spells you don't already own. This costs a small amount of energy and instability. Gambit has a larger than average cooldown.

Illusion Found in: Purchased in the Catalog. Used for: Tricking the crew. Making objects appear to talk. Trolling. Strategy: Security might waste a few shots against an illusion of yourself or a monster. Description The spell's sound effects are only audible to yourself. Illusions created, and things copied, will persist beyond the spell being dropped. Only one illusion per Technomancer can exist. While not having an illusion out: Click on any object or mob to store a 'copy' of that thing. Click on the floor to create an illusion of the thing you're copying there. If you didn't select an object previously, it will default to copying yourself. The appearance of the illusion is determined at the time of it being created. If the thing being copied changes its appearance, the illusion will NOT update. While having an illusion: Clicking on the floor will order the illusion to walk there. It will try to walk in a way that mimics how players walk (no diagonal movement, for example). Clicking on the illusion will remove the illusion. Using the spell in-hand presents you, if you have an illusion, with three options: Making the illusion say something. Having the illusion emote something (the same kind as the 'me' command). Dismissing the illusion, as if you clicked on it, but from anywhere. Holding a Scepter makes the illusion be made from hard light, meaning they can potentially intercept projectiles, which can make them more convincing from a distance while getting shot at.
