1. Cat Ears. Caster hears with the ability of a cat (+50 to hearing perception, +25 to perceptions involving hearing and other senses combined).

2. Cat Nose. Caster can sniff things out just like a cat (+50 to scent perception, +25 to perceptions involving smell and other senses combined).

3. Cat Eyes. Caster gains nightvision. In addition, he is +25 to perceiving motion.

4. Cats are alerted to threats in their immediate vicinity by noise, smells, and other subtle clues. This spell allows the caster to be alerted to any potentially dangerous person or beast in the spell's area of effect. This spell does not tell the caster for certain that the perceived being is an enemy. The spell also does not give direction, distance, or size.

5. Cat Grace. The caster feels as lithe, quick, and powerful as a cat. For the duration of the spell, he gains +2 to his agility, strength, OR quickness bonus.

6. Read Sign. Caster is able to read a sign, a message, or information left behind by another follower of Andaras.

7. Mark Sign. Caster may, by scratching trees, rocks, or dirt, leave a message to other followers of Andaras. The message must be a single concept such as "danger ahead" or "food here" (the equivalent of 2 ranks in a written language).

8. Lion's Roar. Caster delivers an awe-inspiring roar. His target must make a resistance roll or be stunned for 1 round per 5 failure.

9. The Hunter. Caster receives a +50 to his hunting bonus for the duration.

10. Pheromones. Caster releases pheromones. Anyone whose orientation favors the caster's sex must make a resistance roll versus the caster's level. Failure means that the target(s) must pursue the caster sexually for 1 hour/10 failure or until successful. If the caster remains in a closed room with the target, the target must make another resistance roll every five minutes until the spell reaches the end of its duration. If target is attacked, he will defend himself. Pheromones linger about the caster for the duration, meaning that if the caster must walk about on the city streets, everyone he passes must make a resistance roll. If there are a great number of people on the city streets, and especially if the caster is rubbing up against others, the pheromones may become diluted and thus release the caster from the "pied piper" effect. Warning: This spell can be dangerous for the caster. This spell also has the added benefit of warding for rats and mice (1 hr/level).

11.. Resist Cold. Caster draws from many species of cats to keep warm without a coat down to minus 20 degrees (F). His feet are protected from ice and snow and his skin, like oily fur, will resist moisture

12. Tiger Skin.Caster grows striped fur and is Armor Type 3 for the duration of the spell.

13. Greater Lion's Roar. As Lion's Roar, except for number of targets.

14. Resist Heat. Caster draws from the heat-loving cat species to resist heat up to 120 degrees (F). His feet are immune to burning sand and rock.

15. Panther's Grace. The caster feels as graceful, strong, and fast as a big panther. He gains 4 to his agility, strength, OR quickness stat bonus for the duration of the spell.

16. Cat's Purpose. A lion doesn't let a little scratch distract him from his prey! Caster ignores the effects of one critical for one round.

17. Mark Message. As Mark Sign, except that the caster may communicate more complex information, such as "[Name] was attacked here by seven hyenas but defeated them all in the greatness of Andaras" (for example). Caster communicates with the equivalent of 6 ranks in a written language. Caster cannot communicate more than one story, one set of simple directions, one warning, etc.

18. Major Lion's Roar. As Lion's Roar, except for number of targets.

19. The Lion's Rest. Caster falls into a deep sleep during which all recovery is doubled.

20. Nine Wounds. Target is able to negate the effects of one critical. This spell may be used only nine times.

30. Fighter's Greatness. Caster adds 6 to his strength, quickness, OR agility bonus.

35. Mark Information. As Mark Sign, except that the caster may communicate extremely complex information, such as a historical information, tactical advice, or detailed directions. Caster communicates with the equivalent of rank 12 in a written language.

40. Champion's Roar. As Lion's Roar, except the caster may affect a number of targets up to his level.

50. Cat Aspects True. Caster may use one lower-level spell from this list each round.
