The caster and target make a Contested Check - the caster uses [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Guile](Guile.md) or [Presence](Presence.md), and the target uses [Resilience](Resilience.md), [Tenacity](Tenacity.md) or [Willpower](Willpower.md). If the caster wins, the target is afflicted with Tier I Frightened/Horror, the Tier of which is instead equal to the caster's [Cunning](Cunning.md), [Guile](Guile.md) or [Presence](Presence.md), for as long as this spell is maintained. - **Spell Ascension** – For each point of Ascension, the caster gains a bonus to this check equal to their Ascension in this Spherum. ## **Indigo** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)* **Color Effect** – The caster may sacrifice Hit Points, [Mana](Mana.md), or a point of [Courage](Courage.md) equal to their [Spirit](Spirit.md) as this spell is cast. If they do, the current Tier of the [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md) [Affliction](Affliction.md) also deals Necrotic damage to the target at the start of each round this spell is maintained. ## **Blue** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Dreamwalk](Dream.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, the caster may [Dreamwalk](Dream.md) to a square adjacent to the target, and the nightmare bleeds outward. An additional enemy within 10 ft. of the target must also succeed the same contested check or become afflicted with a lesser Nightmare, its Tier equal to half the original, rounded down. ## **Green** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Heal](Heal.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, thorned dream-vines coil around the target, and the caster or an ally within 10 ft. heals Hit Points equal to the current Tier of the [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md) [Affliction](Affliction.md). ## **Yellow** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Economy](Economy.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, the target loses a number of Action Points equal to half the current Tier of the [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md) [Affliction](Affliction.md), rounded down (minimum 0). ## **Orange** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Empower](Empower.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, the Tier of the [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md) [Affliction](Affliction.md) increases by 1 so long as the target remains within 30 ft. of the caster. ## **Red** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, an ally within 10 ft. of the target gains [Courage](Courage.md) equal to the current Tier of the [Frightened](Frightened.md)/[Horror](Horror.md) [Affliction](Affliction.md), and the caster or that ally learns an ability that [Lore Acumen](Lore%20Acumen%20(Wizard).md) would reveal about the target, secrets bleeding out through the nightmare. ## **Violet** **Keywords** - *[Oneiromancy](Oneiromancy%20Sphere.md), [Afflict](Afflict.md), [Economy](Economy.md)* **Color Effect** – At the start of each round this spell is maintained, the target is also afflicted with Tier I [Numbed](Numbed.md), their senses dulled by the endless waking nightmare, unable to distinguish dream from reality.
