DnD spells in Touchstarved Demo
After my post about the LI's classes, I wanted to make one with the spells used in the demo. Have fun reading it!
I'm not sure that at the beginning of the game, MC just passed out and lost their arms or actually died. In the former case, Kuras could use Regenerate (7th level spell) to restore the arms. If the latter, he used Resurrection (7th level spell) Well, only if it took him some time to find MC. Which is more than possible, but if some miracle happened and he found them within a minute, he could just use Revivify (3rd level spell).
Tumblr media
Leander's famous shiny flowers are probably just Minor Illusions (cantrip). He tells the Bloodhounds that this was the last time he did it, indicating he performed this trick several times that day. Cantrips can be cast without using a spell slot, so Leander could use minor illusions as many times as he wanted. (Actually, Minor Illusions can't cast light but I'd totally allowed it. Either this or he used Dancing Lights (cantrip), but instead of glowing orbs the lights appeared in the form of flowers.)
Tumblr media
When MC leaves the Wet Wick they feel a shadow passing over them. Vere could use Pass without Trace (2nd level spell) which causes a veil of shadows and silence to radiate from the caster. Creatures in the shadows can only be tracked by magic. (It also gives a +10 bonus to Stealth checks, so guess who has the key to MC's room now)
Tumblr media
In front of the Senobium MC hears a whisper really close, then spots the Seaspring woman standing down the staircase. The woman probably used Message (cantrip). It has a range of 120 ft and only the creature affected by the spell can hear the whispered message.
After they said goodbye, the woman calls MC by their name. She could use Detect Thoughts (2nd level spell), which helped her learn MC's surface thoughts. (Well, not so sure about this. Is someone's name a surface thought? Do you constantly think about your name?)
Tumblr media
When MC meets Ais, they see massive tentacle-like shapes around the wooden beams. There sure is a spell called Black Tentacles (4th level spell), but later MC finds out Ais just wanted to be intimidating, because scared people tend to be more honest. Well, to scare someone, it's enough to use some kind of an illusion. He could either use Silent Image (1st level spell) or Major Image (3rd level spell). Depends on if the tentacles were accompanied by voices. I think they were not, but I don't really remember.
Tumblr media
Later in the Wet Wick Leander has a pair of shot glasses in his hand. For a finishing touch, he could use Shape Water (cantrip) to freeze the contents of the glasses.
Tumblr media
In the Secret Ending, Vere asks MC to move somewhere quieter. If you choose to surrender, MC says that surrending is the easiest thing they've ever done. I like to think it was because of Vere casting Fast Friends (3rd level spell). Unlike Charm Person (1st level spell), using Fast Friends has another effect: While the creature is charmed, it undertakes to perform any services or activities the caster ask of it in a friendly manner. (Vere sure asked MC nicely!)
That's all for now! I know it was just a demo, so the list of spells shouldn't be too long, but I feel like I forgot about some.
