TGoI: Tharn’s Grimoire of Incantations
About this Book
The prestigious House Tharn has been a powerful influence in Imperial circles since the early years of the First Era. Established in the foothills of the Nibenay Basin’s city of Cheydinhal, the Tharn’s have made themselves inseparable in politics of Cyrodiil and beyond. Aside from their astute sense of diplomacy, is their uncommonly strong lineage of magical prowess. Counted as some of the strongest mages in known history of man, many of House Tharn have kept their family’s spells secret. That is until now. Within the pages of this book, you will gain unfettered access to the spells that helped shape the future of the Empires of Man.
The Intent behind this book was to capture the spirit of the Elder Scrolls’ spells. While not each spell can realistically mirror its in game counterpart, we sought to bring new life into some of the more generic spells. Spells such as burning spear and flame tempest lacked unique characteristics compared to other fire damage dealing destruction spells. Some spells, such as Hroldar’s death blast more easily translated into 5e mechanics, and offered an interesting tactical option to be used for not only the middle of combat, but as a possible means of setting a trap against enemies before a fight.
And some spells we just couldn’t pass up, such as Jaganvir's gremlin transformation. An iconic spell that once caused the legendary hero Cyrus to become a gremlin for a time.
In addition to new spells, a few optional rules are also presented. These options allow for non-caster classes to gain some level of magic much like how all characters in TES games can use spells. Also within that same vein of TES specific rules, we’re also introducing the ability for all spellcasters to choose any spell from any spell list when they gain a new spell. While this may offer some unbalancing to the game, this is ultimately a ‘rule of cool’ decision a GM can make if they deem it so at their table.
