7 spells of Clothingmancy
The art of Clothingmancy is the art of enchanting clothing to provide a boon for the wearer.
1-It’s cool man
Do you live in an unpleasantly hot area like on the outskirts of a rainforest, where ten minutes after getting dressed and going outside your fine clothes are drenched in sweat and smelling badly?
These clothes are always kept magically cool, no matter how hot it gets out there so you will always feel good in the most hot and humid weather no matter how unpleasant it is.
Wearer’s Warning-They should not be worn in cool or cold weather, as at best they will be uncomfortable if worn then, and at worst can cause frostbite if it is cold enough.
2-Self dressing spell
Do you have problems with dressing yourself, or do you have an unfortunate relative who has physical and/ or mental problems with dressing themselves? Or do you just feel too lazy to put your clothes on in the morning? These clothes can be set to dress yourself or your relative at a certain time every day, or just when you or your relative opens the wardrobe door.
Wearer’s Warning-Particularly in the latter case, they could end up dressing somebody else up against their will if the person opens the wardrobe door without knowing of the enchanted clothing waiting in there. This could be embarrassing if the clothes are meant for the opposite gender to the unfortunate wardrobe door opener.
3-Automatic armour
Do you have people out there who want you dead, but either you don’t want to wear armour all the time or pesky local laws where you happen to be prevent civilians from wearing armour? These clothes are enchanted so that when a part of them is struck with any metal weapon, that area at once turns into thick plate armour, only to at once become cloth again as soon as the offending weapon is withdrawn. Wearing these clothes , your hat becomes your helmet, your shirt your breastplate, your trousers your leg armour.
Wearer’s Warning-If the weapon is made of wood, obsidian, enchanted ice or something else that is not made of metal, the spell will not kick in and the weapon will make contact with your unprotected flesh.
4-Spell of passing
Are you a man with a burning desire or a pressing need to pass as a woman, or vice versa? Or are you both willing and able to buy things at The Black Market and want to pass as a nobleman, a noblewoman, a celebrity, or someone you have a huge crush on? These clothes will let you look and sound exactly right.
Wearer’s Warning-If any part of the clothing gets torn, the magic will cease to work. At best this could be very embarrassing if you happen to be passing as the opposite gender at the time. At worst, if you are impersonating someone else who has not given you permission to do so, you could be in severe legal trouble.
5-Spell of warning
Are you feeling jumpy? Do you have a stalker following you? Or do you want to know of danger before it happens? These clothes will go cold in the presence of someone or something that is a clear and present danger to your freedom, your health, or your life. Never get surprised again.
Wearer’s Warning-If the danger is truly tremendous, like that posed by a full grown dragon for example, your clothing will get dangerously cold to the point that you have to strip quickly to avoid frostbite. This is not recommended for those who know they will encounter a dragon at some point in their lives.
6-Changes colour repeatedly
Are you a noblewoman who wants to truly be the belle of the ball? You can buy a dress which shimmers and changes colour either at will, or when the music changes, or just at random times. Everyone will be gazing at you. Or are you someone who wants a shirt that can change colour so you don’t have to buy several different shirts? You can buy a shirt that is suitable for white tie balls, for normal wear, or when you need dark clothing for a funeral or for camouflage.
Wearer’s Warning- If it gets torn, you have a couple of minutes to take the clothing off before it self cremates in a flash of flame, with very painful or even fatal consequences for the wearer if he or she is still wearing it when it ignites.
7-(Scratches itch/ dulls pain)
Have you been invited to an exclusive ball but you have come down with pinworms and really don’t want to be scratching your bottom all night? This clothing will magically scratch it for you so you don’t have to. Or maybe you are a member of, for example, an Adventurer’s Guild and sprained your ankle the last time you entered the Gygaxian Gyre but you still want to attend the yearly Guild Banquet without having to hobble around in pain? These clothes have magical painkilling properties so that you can walk or even run around normally.
Wearer’s Warning-Scratching itches constantly can make the skin raw, and cause scarring, and if you have chickenpox whilst wearing this, it will scratch all your spots open and possibly lead to ugly scars and infections. And whilst it dulls pain, it does not fix what is causing the pain. Walk too hard on that injured leg, and you might tear a muscle and not know it until you get undressed and am suddenly in agony and needing urgent hospital treatment.
