repair

[Alex Koponen]

Example:
GURPS Repair Spell
Permanently repairs a broken inanimate object. If some small parts are
missing the skill is at -5, and the appropriate materials to make the
missing parts must be provided -- e.g. a lump of gold to make gold
filigree work. If the spell succeeds the missing parts will reappear.
Broken once-magical items will not regain their magic when repaired
(although this spell will restore a weakened magical item to full
durability).
Duration: Permanent  Cost: 3 per 10 lbs (min. 6) to cast.  Time to cast: 1
sec./lb.
Prerequisite: Magery 2 and Rejoin

GURPS Inventing New Spells
1) Player tells GM general outlines of spell.
2) GM decides if spell possible.
3) GM determines spell specifics.
4) Mage researches spell spending 2d6x$100 per week for amount of weeks
determined by GM at penalty determined by GM.
Roll determines whether mage gets false info, no info, some info or learns
the spell.
More research is then required unless the spell is learned. False info
will drastically slow down learning of the spell.

I don't recall the spell being in the games I've been in gurps to be honest.=
=20
Though I only
played the Fantasy, Horror, SuperHero, Sci-fi Gurps versions.

I don't know how well to adapt it.  I studied it but just don't see much
inside
from it.
Then again maybe I'm just too tired :)
