牧師和專屬祭司們往往會因恐懼失去施法能力而擔心進入 荒宇wildspace。其實對這點無需再有疑問。當然,當牧師或是祭司進入太空時,他們神明的神力的確會發生一些改變,但多數時候,這些改變還沒到讓角色感到沮喪的地步。
Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.
有些改變是積極的,但偶爾,神力可能會有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司們進入 燃素海the phlogiston、與其神明失去一切接觸的時候。在進入到晶壁系中時,某一角色是否會與他的神明完全而徹底的分離?接下來的章節將詳述:魔法船牧師與專屬祭司在荒宇中時,諸神與他們的關係、以及諸神本身。
Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

當 密斯特拉Mystra 的專屬祭司進入 荒宇wildspace 時,他們仍將正常的獲得和使用法術。然而,她的牧師在荒宇中不能得到超過3級的法術。當進入另一處天宇時,她們只能使用最高3級的法術。
When Mystra's specialty priests enter wildspace, they are still able to gain and use spells to their maximum allotment. The clerics, however, are unable to gain spells greater than 3rd level while in wildspace. Whenever either group enters another sphere, they are allowed only 3rd-level spells or lower.

密斯特拉(讀作「MISS-trah」)是魔法女神以及可能性女神,這使得她可以說是 費倫大陸Faerûn 中、並可能是 國度天宇Realmspace 中最強大的神靈。據說她教導了 諸國度the Realms 中的第一位施法者,並使許多種族得以使用魔法。據推測,她會權衡和評判每一個新的法術或魔法物品,以決定是否允許它進入諸國度。法師及那些日常使用魔法或魔法物品的人們對她最為崇拜。她與 阿祖斯Azuth 的不同之處在於阿祖斯是法師之神(從某種程度上來說是所有施法者),而密斯特拉是使得所有施法成為可能的本質力量的女神。她供給並管理著魔網,這種渠道使凡人的施法者和魔法工匠得以安全的獲得魔法的原始力量。密斯特拉教派Mystran 的顧問在 阿祖斯教派Azuthian 的教會很常見,反之亦然。
Mystra (MISS-trah) is the goddess of magic and with that the goddess of possibilities, which makes her arguably the most powerful deity in Faerûn and possibly throughout Realmspace. She is said to have taught the first spellcaster of the Realms, and to have enabled many of the races to use magic. She supposedly weighs and judges each new spell or magical item to determine whether it should be permitted into the Realms. She is most venerated by wizards and those who use magic or magical items in their daily use. She differs from Azuth in that Azuth is the god of wizards (as to a much lesser degree, all spellcasters), while Mystra is the goddess of the essential force that makes all spellcasting possible. She provides and tends the Weave, the conduit to enable mortal spellcasters and magical crafters to safely access the raw force that is magic. Mystran advisers are common in Azuthian churches, and vice versa.
在動盪之年中,前任的魔法女神化身,密斯特拉Mystra,被摧毀並且她的本質與這片大陸本身融為一體。一位新的魔法女神從法師 午夜Midnight 的人類形態中產生,獲得了這份神職與這位女神的職責。此時,這位魔法女神的陣營從守序中立,維持魔法使用的平衡,轉變為了中立善良,反應了新的化身對於魔法的使用和目的的態度。比起強迫她的崇拜者改變他們的方向,午夜採取了一種保守而長期的、假借她的前任的名字與標誌的策略來儘可能平和的改變她的教會與信眾。教會目前尊奉午夜為密斯特拉的人類化身,她的形體便是女神現在的化身形態,當她行走於諸國度四處重新平衡死魔法區與狂亂魔法區時,她的形體為女神的化身增添了光彩。
During the Time of Troubles, the former incarnation of the goddess of magic, Mystra, was destroyed and her essence merged with that of the land itself. A new goddess of magic, arising from the human form of the magician Midnight, took the mantle of divinity and the goddess's portfolio. At this time, the goddess of magic's alignment shifted from lawful neutral, maintaining the balance in use of magic, to neutral good, reflecting the new incarnation's attitudes toward the uses and purpose of magic. Rather than forcing her worshipers to change their ways, Midnight has taken a conservative, long-term strategy by assuming the name and trappings of her predecessor to make the change as smooth as possible for her church and worshipers. Midnight is now revered within the church as the human avatar of Mystra, and her form now graces the avatar of the goddess when she walks the Realms seeking to rebalance the dead and wild magic areas of the land.
在過去,密斯特拉與 塔洛斯Talos、貢德Gond 以及 班恩Bane 競爭,之後 希瑞克Cyric 試圖控制或篡奪她的力量。她蔑棄著希瑞克。
In the past, Mystra contested with Talos and Gond as rivals and with both Bane, and later, Cyric over attempts to control or usurp her power. She despises Cyric.
密斯特拉喜歡著 亡者之主Lord of the Dead 克蘭沃Kelemvor,在她凡人生活中他一直是她的摯愛。他們的關係是否會再次發展為愛情還不得而知。她在她的工作中受到 阿祖斯Azuth、「觀察者」多納爾Dornal the Watcher、以及她的 選民the Chosen:伊爾明斯特Elminster、凱爾本「黑杖」奧蘭桑Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun、七姐妹the Seven Sisters 的幫助。(選民的力量在《七姐妹The Seven Sisters》一書中有詳細的討論。)密斯特拉也被 傳道法師The Magister——一個由一對一的法術戰鬥獲勝而被選擇成為魔法的捍衛者的凡人魔法技藝者——服務著。傳道法師也是一名密斯特拉的選民。現任 傳道法師Magister,傳道法師Lady Magister 努美阿女士Noumea,於 1354DR 被提拔至這個位置。
Mystra is fond of Kelemvor, Lord of the Dead, who was her love during her mortal life. Whether their relationship will again blossom into love is yet to be seen. She is aided in her work by Azuth, Dornal the Watcher, and by her Chosen: Elminster, Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, and the Seven Sisters. (The powers of the Chosen are discussed extensively in The Seven Sisters accessory.) Mystra is also served by the Magister, a title borne by a single mortal worker of the magical arts chosen by victory in one-on-one spell combat to be champion of magic. The Magister is also one of the Chosen of Mystra. The current Magister, Lady Magister Noumea, was elevated to the position in 1354 DR.
密斯特拉的化身Mystra s Avatar
(法師Mage 40,牧師Cleric 40)
密斯特拉曾經被大多數凡人視為只是像一個稜鏡色調的鬼火。密斯特拉的新化身(午夜)更喜歡作為一名有著暗色的飄拂頭髮和容光煥發的肌膚的美麗人類女性顯現。她穿著樸素但優雅的深色長袍,長袍由最優質的厚實絲綢製成,其上有裝飾著寶石的網狀緊身扣環。這個扣環象徵著那個密斯特拉擁有著最高權限的魔網。密斯特拉可以使用在費倫大陸中曾經被使用過的任何學派或領域的法術。
Mystra was formerly seen by most mortals only as a prismatic-hued will o' wisp. The new incarnation of Mystra (Midnight) prefers to appear as a beautiful human female with dark, flowing hair and radiant skin. She wears simple, but elegant, darkly colored robes of the finest heavy silk and a jeweled bodice-clasp that appears to be a web. This clasp symbolizes the magical Weave over which Mystra is sovereign. Mystra can use any spell of any school or sphere ever used on Faerûn.

特殊攻擊/防禦Special Att/Def:
無論她處於什麼樣的形態,密斯特拉每輪都可以使用兩次攻擊性的和兩次防禦防禦性的或其他各種各樣的魔法(法術,物品效果,等等)——除非她願意,她不會受到任何法術的影響。
In whatever form she takes, Mystra can employ two offensive and two defensive or miscellaneous magics per round (spells, item effects, etc.) She is unaffected by magic of any sort unless she wishes to be.
所有密斯特拉使用的法術都可以在所有方面於正常變量的3倍至最小值(射程、傷害、影響區域等等)以及一道-3懲罰於對抗它們的豁免骰值上,或在這之間的範圍內隨意變動如她的意願。(譯註1)密斯特拉可以創造性的重塑效果區域來滿足她的意願,將立方形改變為球形,在效果中製造「洞」以避開一個存在,等等。即使她將正常數量的法術用完,密斯特拉依然可以一直無限的通過魔網每輪創造一道攻擊性和一道防禦性或其他各種各樣的魔法效果或法術。
All spells Mystra casts can range from triple normal range in all respects (duration, damage, area of effect, etc.) and a -3 penalty to saving throws against them to minimum effect or any range in between, as she desires. Mystra can creatively reshape areas of effect to suit her desires, changing cubic forms to spherical ones, making "holes" in an effect so that a being is avoided, etc. Even after she runs out of her normal number of spells, Mystra can tap into the Weave to create one offensive and one defensive or miscellaneous magical effect or spell per round indefinitely and infinitely.
[譯註1:原文過於晦澀……意思就是說,密斯特拉用的所有法術的各方面都能隨她的意願任意的在正常效果的三倍到正常的最小效果間改變,目標在對抗這些法術時會受到一個-3懲罰,而且密斯特拉也可以隨自己的意願從0~-3任意的改變這個懲罰。]
她可以解除一個存在對於魔網的訪問並阻止它使用任何類型的法術,如果她希望的話,在更加嚴格的限制下她也可以阻止一個存在使用任何類型的魔法。這些情況會一直持續到她解除它們。密斯特拉甚至可以禁止神靈訪問魔網,但她不能阻止神靈通過祈禱將法術給予祂們的信徒的能力。如果她希望禁止一個神靈的所有神職人員使用法術的能力,她需不得不分別地禁止所有這些人使用魔網,這是一種 艾歐Ao 會極為反對的完全失衡的行為。
She can withdraw a being's access to the Weave and prevent it from using spells of any sort, and in an even harsher restriction she can also prevent a being from using any sort of magic whatsoever if she wishes. These conditions persist until she removes them. Mystra can even deny deities access to the Weave, but she cannot deny powers the ability to grant their worshipers spells through prayer. If she wished to deny the ability to cast spells to all of a deity's clergy, she would have to deny all those people access to the Weave individually, a radically unbalancing action that Ao would gravely disapprove of.
其祂顯現Other Manifestations
密斯特拉的典型顯現是一個在道具,存在或這位女神希望引起注意的地點——比如一扇隱藏門或道具上——發出的脈動著的藍白色光.她也會以一隻由藍白色光點顯出的柔弱優雅而沒有實體的人類女性手掌輪廓顯現,來指向,做手勢,書寫,在石頭上用一根手指刻畫線條——通常是在一個死去的強大法師的墓碑碑文上書寫作為一個模糊的提示——或是施放法術。
Mystra's typical manifestation is as a blue-white, pulsing glow on items, beings, or places that the goddess wishes to draw attention to, such as a hidden door or item. She also appears as a slender, graceful, disembodied human female hand outlined in blue-white motes of light that points, gestures, writes, inscribes lines on stone with one finger—often writing the tomb inscription of a powerful dead mage as an obscure clue—or unleashes spells.
密斯特拉也被認為使用以下存在顯示她的贊同或反對,或向她的虔信徒提供援助:聖輝使徒agathinon(自然或魔法物品形態);提婆deva;摩錄多marut;光天使light aasimons;英靈einheriar(生前是法師或其他著名的魔法使用者);希望、信仰和勇氣具現;輻射魔蝠radiant mephit;所有種類的守衛者;偽龍;海豹精;藍松鴉bluejay;松雀鷹sparrowhawk;白色的貓、犬、馬、飛馬、獨角獸和騾子(全都有藍色或異色眼睛);貝裘里寶石Beljuril;由半透明魔法力量組成的小生物。
Mystra has also been known to use agathinons (in natural and magical object forms); devas; maruts; light aasimons; einheriar (former wizards and other prominent users of magic); hope, faith, and courage incarnates; radiant mephits; guardinals of all sorts; hollyphants; gem and metallic dragons (including steel and mercury dragons); pseudodragons; selkies; bluejays; sparrowhawks; white cats, dogs, donkeys, horses, pegasi, unicorns, and mules (all with blue or mismatched eyes); blue and clear gemstones of all sorts; rainbow tourmalines; amarathas; rogue stones; beljurils; and small creatures composed of translucent magical force to demonstrate her approval or disapproval or to send aid to her faithful.

密斯特拉的所有牧師或專屬祭司都會獲得 宗教知識religion(泛費倫Faerûnian) 作為一項非武器熟練。所有密斯特拉的祭司在他們加入時都被授予了 魔網輝光weaveglow(見下文)。
All clerics and specialty priests of Mystra receive religion (Faerûnian) as a bonus nonweapon proficiency. All priests of Mystra are granted weaveglow (see below) upon their initiation.
奧秘女士the Lady of Mysteries 的大多數崇拜者都是人類,但是費倫所有試圖不受神力的幫助而在魔法上變得強大的原住民都必須至少用獻祭來使這位女神滿足。(燃燒臨時被法術影響的物品是達成此目的的最簡單方式。)法師,特別是善良的法術,對她之名有著特殊的崇拜,即使他們主要信仰阿祖斯或是其他神靈。
Most worshipers of the Lady of Mysteries are human, but all natives of Faerûn who seek to become powerful in magic without benefit of divine aid must at least appease the goddess with sacrifices. (Burning items that have temporarily been enchanted with a spell is the easiest way to do this.) Wizards, especially good wizards, hold her name in special veneration, even if they primarily worship Azuth or some other deity.
所有魔法的使用者和試圖探尋奧術知識的任何種族都被歡迎來為密斯特拉服務。密斯特拉信仰的等級制度是廣泛而多樣的,區分次序主要是依據一種類型的魔法力量或是另一種。牧師、專屬祭司、法師和吟遊詩人都可以在它的等級體系中找到而不考慮經驗等級或出身。密斯特拉信仰的一般準則是工作的天賦和能力的重要性要超過社會地位或是傳奇般的功績。只有那些從上位力量處獲得他們的法術的神職人員才是直接從女神處獲得法術,但所有人在教會等級體系中都受歡迎。在這個信仰的各個修會與子組織之間的關係都十分良好。密斯特拉的祭司被稱為 奧秘侍者Servants of Mystery。更高級的祭司,包括那些有頭銜和封地以及傳奇般的冒險經歷的祭司,被稱為 秘法女士或秘法之主Ladies or Lords of Mystery。信仰的頭銜因神殿而各異,在整個教會中沒有遵行標準的形式,儘管大部分神殿都是嚴格的自我一致的。
All wielders of magic and seekers after arcane lore of any race are welcome in the service of Mystra. The hierarchy of the Mystran faith is wide and varied, separating into orders concentrating on one form of magical energy or another. Clerics, specialty priests, wizards, and bards can all be found in its ranks without regard to experience level or origin. The general rule of the Mystran faith is that talent and ability for the job outweighs social rank or legendary feats. Only those clergy members who gain their spells directly from a higher power gain their spells directly from the goddess, but all are welcome within the church's hierarchy. Relations between the various orders and subgroups of the faith are very good. The priests of Mystra are known as Servants of Mystery. Higher level priests, both those with title and lands and legendary adventuring priests, are called Ladies or Lords of Mystery. Titles within the faith vary from temple to temple and follow no standard form across the whole of the church, though most temples are rigidly self-consistent.
密斯特拉神殿幾乎可以是任何規模或風格的建築,有些聖地是天然洞穴或特殊的岩洞。憑藉女神的恩澤,位於密斯特拉的聖地的密斯特拉祭司可以施放有著儘可能最大的傷害、持續時間或效果範圍的法術(由他們選擇)。這種地方包括所有的密斯特拉神殿與聖地,以及最秘密的施法室。作為密斯特拉的恩惠,所有的密斯特拉祭司都可以使他們自己的肉體——全身,或是特定的區域,比如一隻手——隨心意發出藍白色的柔和光輝。這種被稱為 魔網輝光 的光輝,足以讓一名祭司清楚的看見五英尺內的物品與環境。大多數密斯特拉教會成員對於非信者保守著女神恩典的秘密。作為某種神秘的事物,它更有用,比如,允許他們佯作一種災難或魔法攻擊。魔網輝光 通常在祭司們的通常是一場 星翔之儀Starflight 的就職儀式後被賜予。
Mystran temples can be structures of almost any size or style, and some shrines are natural caves or special grottoes. Through the grace of the goddess, Mystran priests who stand in a place sacred to Mystra can cast spells for the maximum possible damage, duration, or extent of effect (their choice of which). Such places include all Mysttan temples and shrines, and most private spellcasting chambers. All priests of Mystra can cause their own flesh—all of it, or specific areas, such as a hand—to glow at will with a soft, blue-white radiance as a boon from Mystra. This radiance, known as weaveglow, is enough to read by or to allow a priest to clearly see items and surroundings within 5 feet. Most Mystrans keep this sign of the favor of the goddess secret from nonbelievers. As something mysterious, it is more useful, allowing them, for example, to feign a, affliction or magical attack. Weaveglow is granted to priests after their initiation, which is often a Starflight ceremony.
教義Dogma:
選擇,決定,與知識,以對大多數人有益的健康份量為之增色,是密斯特拉信仰的特徵。魔法是巨大的力量,它帶來了巨大的責任。密斯特拉的神職人員在追求信仰時被給予了以下的職責:
Dogma: Choice, decision, and knowledge, leavened with a healthy dose of good for the most individuals, are the hallmarks of Mystra's faith. Magic is great power, and it brings with it great responsibility. Mystra's clergy are given the following charge upon aspiring to the faith:
熱愛魔法本身,不要僅僅是把它當作一件現成的用來以你的意願改變國度的武器。學會在何時不去使用你的魔法,你就會學會真正的智慧。與魔法嬉戲並學會如何最好的使用它,但不是在由別人支付代價時。隨著你的力量的成長,越來越少的使用魔法而非越來越多;恐嚇與承諾的藝術時常有超乎尋常的表現。
"Love magic for itself, not just as a ready weapon to reshape the Realms to your will. Learn when not to use your magic, and you will have learned true wisdom. Play with magic and leam how best to wield it, but not when the price is paid by others. Strive to use magic less and less as your powers develop, not more and more; often the threat and promise of Art outstrips its performance.
永遠記住,魔法是一門 奧藝Art,是女士的禮物,那些能夠使用魔法的人享受著無上的特權。在謹記這一點的同時,要謙遜,不要驕傲。「熟練而有效地使用魔法;在技藝的施放中避免粗心大意和魯莽。當魔法使你陷入危險時,將其隱藏或是將其丟入其他位面,因為對於奧藝的任何破壞都是一種罪惡。
"Remember always that magic is an Art, the Gift of the Lady, and that those who can wield it are privileged in the extreme. Conduct yourself humbly, not proudly, while being mindful of this. "Use magic deftly and efficiently; eschew carelessness and recklessness in the unleashing of Art.When magic imperils you, hide it or hurl it away into other planes rather than destroy it, for any destruction of Art is a sin.
同時堅持尋求學習新的魔法和創造新的魔法,但是嘗試學習自己創造某些東西要比僅僅買捲軸或聘請導師更好。在創造中比在使用法術中更加令人快樂。在這最後成功並且在運用技藝的過程中逐漸成長為擁有真正的智慧和對事物更加廣泛的平衡的思考的人,在這位女士眼中是最受歡迎的,他們將作為一個擁有魔法的存在永遠活著為她服務,超越死亡。"
"Seek always both to learn new magic and to create new magic, but experimenting to learn to craft something oneself is better than merely buying scrolls or hiring tutors. Exult mote in creation than in hurling spells, and ensure that your creations are shared with others and so outlive you. Those who succeed in this last and in maturing into true wisdom and consideration for the greater balance of things in Faerûn in the use of Art are most favored in the eyes of the Lady and will serve her beyond death as beings who have become one with magic and live on in it forever.
日常活動Day-to-Day Activities:
密斯特拉的神職人員在秘密圖書館,私人避難所,警戒森嚴的研究實驗室,以及隱藏的小型藏匿處努力的保護著所有魔法學識使得魔法在未來的費倫的有思想的種族或是位面的力量面前蓬勃發展。密斯特拉教會成員也會找尋到擅長使用法術的存在,尋找並觀察可能成為強大施法者的人的身份,力量與表現。
Day-to-Day Activities: Mystran clergy work hard to preserve all magical lore in secret libraries, private safeholds, well-guarded research laboratories, and small, hidden stashes so that magic flourishes in the future regardcless of what befalls the thinking races of Faerûn or the powers of the planes. Mystrans also search out beings skilled in spell use, seeking to keep watch on the identities, powers, and behavior of individuals likely to become magicwielders of importance.
不是所有人都能找到過去的魔法筆記,但是在獲得充足的經驗後所有密斯特拉的神職人員都可以設計出他們自己的新魔法。通過這種方式,魔法研究仍然是不斷成長並充滿活力的事物,魔法不僅成為了統治者與技術人員的一種方便的力量與一件馴服死亡領域的工具,而且依然是一種奇蹟。
Not everyone can find old magic of note, but all clergy of Mystra can devise their own new magic upon gaining sufficient experience, and they are expected to do so. In this way magical study remains a growing, vibrant thing, and magic does not merely become a handy power to serve rulers and engineers as a tool to tame die Realms, but remains a thing of wonder.
聖日/重要儀式Holy Days/Important Ceremonies:
在 深水城Waterdeep,密斯特拉教會在 落葉之月Marpenoth 的第十五天慶祝 神之日Gods' Day,這是午夜作為新的密斯特拉升華為神靈的周年紀念日,有一個以 奇蹟之家the House of Wonder 為中心以持續到深夜的魔法煙花結束的盛大節日。這個節日正逐漸被整個費倫的密斯特拉聖地與神殿所沿用。
Holy Days/Amportant Ceremonies: In Waterdeep, the church of Mystra celebrates Gods' Day on the 15th of Marpenoth, the anniversary' of Midnight's elevation to divinity as the new Mystra, with a huge festival centered around the House of Wonder that ends in magical fireworks that go long into the night. This holiday is being gradually adopted by shrines and temples of Mystra throughout Faerûn.
當總的來說,對密斯特拉的崇拜一般是個人的事情而不是一系列的日程儀式。對於某些被女神視為虔誠信徒的法師們來說,每一個他們使用的法術以及使用這個或那個法術的道德後果的思考都不會超過對她的低聲祈禱的感謝。對於密斯特拉來說,那就足夠了。不過,這位女神從那些對她更加崇拜的人們處得到了快樂與力量。兩個個人意義的儀式脫穎而出:星翔之儀Starflight 與 巫焰之儀Magefire。
On the whole, though, the worship of Mystra tends to be a personal thing rather than a series of calendar rituals. For some mages whom the goddess counts as devout believers, it never goes beyond a whispered prayer of thanks to her with each spell they cast coupled with some thought as to the moral consequences of the use of this or that spell. For Mystra, that is enough. The goddess gains both delight and strength, however, from beings who do more in reverence to her. Two ceremonies of personal significance stand out: Starflight and Magefire.
星翔之儀常作為一個人成為密斯特拉祭司的入會儀式或是兩名信眾結婚的慶祝儀式。這是一種由幾名祭司進行的特殊的聯合儀式魔法,只要天空中有星星可見就能給予一名信徒飛行的能力。這可以使長途旅行變得容易,提供一個令人愉快的步調變化,作為一種觀察這片大陸的特殊方法,實現重要討論的隱秘,使一個信徒與貴重物間拉開一段安全距離以便於嘗試使用驚人的法術,或是為一個人的婚姻提供一個非常特別的開端。
Starflight is often used as an initiation when an individual joins the priesthood of Mystra or a celebration when two worshipers are wed. It is a special ceremonial cooperative magic worked by several priests that empowers one of the faithful to fly so long as stars are visible in the sky. This can make long journeys easy, provide a joyous change of pace, serve as a special means of looking over the land, achieve privacy for important discussions, place one of the faithful a safe distance away from precious things in order to try hurling spectacular spells, or provide a very special beginning for one's marriage.
法師之火是重生;它是巨大的魔法力量衝擊一個人的身體、如溢出的藍色搖曳火焰般燃燒、淨化與重生的激動人心之感。有足夠的神職人員為它供給力量,這種聯合魔法儀式可以治癒各種不良狀況。密斯特拉教會成員形容它是「一個人可以得知的最為幸福的感覺」。它看起來很壯觀。受影響的密斯特拉教會成員躺在地上,司儀們圍成一圈向崇拜者注入力量——直到他或她的身體燃燒起藍色的火焰,緩慢的上升到儀式燃料上的半空中,隨著魔法力量在身體中的涌動發出嗡嗡聲與噼啪聲。如果司儀吟詠了正確的咒語的話,法師之火通常會以一個星火儀式作為結束。
Magefire is renewal; it is the exciting feeling of great magical power surging through one's body, blazing out as flickering blue fire as it spills forth, cleansing and renewing. With enough clergy powering it, this cooperative ceremonial magic can heal all sorts of fell conditions. Mystrans describe it as "the most blissful feeling one can know." It is spectacular to watch. The Mystran to be affected lies down on the ground and the circle of celebrants pours power into the worshiper—until his or her body, blazing with blue fire, slowly rises to hang in midair above those fueling the ceremony, humming and crackling with the power of the magic surging through it. Magefire often ends in a Starflight ceremony, provided the celebrants intone the correct incantation.
女士的讚美詩The Hymn to the Lady 是在葬禮和法師會議上進行的一個莊嚴的儀式,它喚起了死去的法師和密斯特拉神職人員的幻象,是一首由在場的仍活著的神職人員唱頌的素歌輓歌。密斯特拉時常將這些景象嵌入她自己的指引情景中。在讚美詩的結尾,可以採用修改版的法師之火儀式,將死者抬到於高處漂浮的火堆中。
The Hymn to the Lady is a solemn ritual performed at funerals and magemoots, that calls up visions of dead mages and Mystran clergy as a plainsong dirge is intoned by the living clergy present. Mystra often uses these visions to insert her own guiding scenes. A modified Magefire ceremony may be employed at the end of the Hymn to raise the honored dead aloft into a floating pyre on high.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
在 精靈之樹Elventree 的東邊,矗立著一座已經毀滅的、雜草叢生的石制大廳,被稱為 神秘之屋the House of Mysteries。據傳說它是密斯特拉在全費倫中力量最為強大的場所(連同附近 豎琴手Harper 的避難所,豎琴手之家the House of the Harp)。
Major Centers of Worship: On the wooded eastern verge of Elventree stands a ruined, overgrown stone hall known as the House of Mysteries. It is reportedly the strongest place of power to Mystra in all Faerûn (along with the nearby Harper refuge, the House of the Harp).
那些進入神秘之家的人說,裡面就像是一個有聲音發出的黑暗空間,柔和的聲音在那裡低語著,熾熱而五彩繽紛的光點四處飄蕩。沒有法術能照亮這片黑暗,而女神(或一名資深信徒)的聲音從中發出,用神秘的建議回答問題,識別物品似乎無需法術,以及(罕有的的)以「從無處發出」的法術改變請求者。如此強大的神靈的話語的幫助與指引迅速的傳遍了費倫,來自遙遠國度的法師們切實地來到了精靈之樹來尋找這偉跡。
Those who enter the House of Mysteries say that the inside is like a soundeating dark void where soft voices whisper and glowing, varicolored motes of light drift about. No spell can illuminate this darkness, and out of it comes the Voice of the Goddess (or a senior devotee) answering questions with cryptic advice, identifying items apparently without need of spells, and (rarely) altering supplicants with spells that come "out of nowhere." Word of such puissant divine aid and guidance has spread swiftly across Faerûn, and wizards from distant realms indeed have come to Elventree in search of grandeur.
密斯特拉在國度中最大的神殿位於 哈魯阿Halruaa 的 塔拉斯山Mt. Talath。它占據了整個洞窟群,而它的最高女祭司,秘法女士Lady of Mystery 格麗拉·索托因Greila Sontoin,非常年邁但是仍然能夠進行強大的儀式與施放強力的法術。這座宏偉的神殿對所有想要去參拜的人開放,但是儲藏室和圖書館只向有著經驗證的善良意向並有著密斯特拉信仰的 哈魯阿人Halruaans 開放。非哈魯阿人有時被允許進入某些被認為保存著非敏感道具和參考作品的圖書館和大廳,但通常這樣的准入是以非常高的准入費為代價的。
The largest temple to Mystra in all the Realms is located in Mt. Talath in Halruaa. If occupies an entire cavern complex, and its high priestess, Lady of Mystery Greila Sontoin, is very old but still capable of performing powerful ceremonies and casting mighty spells. The grand temple of the complex is open to all who want to worship, but the storerooms and libraries are only open to Halruaans of proven good intentions and of Mystra's faith. NonHalruaans are sometimes admitted to certain libraries and halls deemed to contain nonsensitive items and reference works, but usually such admittance is at the price of a very steep admission fee.
[譯註4:筆者以為「If occupies……」,這句話的開頭應當為寫作者筆誤,應為「It occupies……」而非「If」。]
從屬組織Affiliated Orders:
密斯特拉教會中的大多數法師和吟遊詩人是神職人員並不屬於特殊組織,儘管密斯特拉教會與 豎琴演奏者Those Who Harp(豎琴手the Harpers),一個在全費倫為了善良而努力並對抗強權崛起的組織,有著密切的聯繫。那些並非神職人員的吟遊詩人們屬於 星羽之子the Children of the Starry Quill,並經常為教會作為信息收集者和消息傳播者工作或是花一部分時間在指定的圖書館內搜尋魔法知識然後為了後世而將其保存。一些星羽成員同時也是豎琴手。
Affiliated Orders: Most wizards and bards in the Mystran church are members of the clergy and belong to no special order, though the church of Mystra has close ties with Those Who Harp (the Harpers), an organization working for good and against the rise of great powers throughout Faerûn. Those bards who are not clergy members belong to the Children of the Starry Quill and often work as information gatherers and rumormongers for the church or spend part of their time in designated libraries unearthing magical knowledge and then preserving it for posterity. Some members of the Starry Quill are also Harpers.
教會還贊助著一支聖武士騎士團和一個小型的遊俠組織。這些聖武士,即 秘火騎士團the Knights of the Mystic Fire,由密斯特拉授予他們法術。他們經常陪同神職人員進行任務,尋找遺失的古代魔法寶藏,還從保衛密斯特拉的大型神殿和研習會的小規模武裝部隊的領導者中選拔對此感到疲倦的人作為骨幹。遊俠們,被稱為 射星組織the Order of the Shooting Star,也從密斯特拉那裡獲得他們的法術。他們是教會的長期偵查員與間諜,還處理那些危及了事物的自然秩序的魔法威脅,比如被解放的塔那厘和巴特祖以及因不負責任的法師實驗而誕生的生物。
The church also sponsors a knightly order of paladins and a small order of rangers. The paladins, the Knights of the Mystic Fire, are granted their spells by Mystra. They often accompany members of the clergy on quests to locate lost hoards of ancient magic and also form the cadre from which the leadership for the small groups of armed forces who guard Mystra's larger temples and workshops is drawn. The rangers, known as the Order of the Shooting Star, also receive their spells from Mystra. They serve as long-range scouts and spies for the church and also deal with magical threats that threaten the natural order of things, such as unloosed tanar'ri and baatezu and creatures born of irresponsible wizardly experimentation.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
密斯特拉祭司的儀式服裝是有時飾有白色的樸素藍色長袍。在寒冷的氣候下他們會加上一件深藍色斗篷。某些形式的帽子是必須的,儘管可能範圍包括從劍灣北部學術組織的樸素藍色小帽到南方大陸的寬大而裝飾華麗的藍色寬檐帽和頭盔。
Priestly Vestments: The ceremonial garb of Mystran priests is simple blue robes that are sometimes trimmed with white. They are accented by a cloak of deep blue in colder climates. Some form of headgear is required, though this may range from a simple blue skullcap for the scholarly orders of the Sword Coast North to wide, ornate, blue hats and helms in southern lands.
密斯特拉的象徵曾是化身到來前的一顆藍白色星辰而現在是有紅色薄霧朝向(或從中)其中心處升起的圍成環狀的一圈星辰,這兩個標誌都依然在使用中。密斯特拉祭司對前代密斯特拉的標誌與信仰非常寬容,因為他們認為只有了解過去才能推進向前。他們讓前代密斯特拉信仰的標誌存在,但是創造新的標誌後,他們總是使用他們女神的新符號。
Mystra's symbol was a blue-white star before the coming of the Avatars and now is a circle of stars in a ring, with a red mist rising toward (or flowing from) the center. Both symbols are still in use. Mystran priests are very tolerant of the older symbology and beliefs in Mystra, as they feel that one may only press forward by learning about the past. They let established symbols of the old Mystran faith stand, but when creating new symbols, they always use the new sigil of their goddess.
冒險裝束Adventuring Garb:
在戰場上,密斯特拉的牧師穿著盔甲,在盾牌上刻著新的密斯特拉象徵,以此來顯示他們的信仰。如果盔甲是不合適的話,他們會穿著他們所居住的地方的服飾以適應惡劣的天氣。
Adventuring Garb: In the field, priests of Mystra wear armor and bear the new symbol of Mystra on their shields as a display of their faith. If armor is inappropriate, they dress in the fashion of the land they inhabit appropriate for the inclement weather.

❖咒文守護者在對抗任何類型魔法的豁免檢定中獲得+2獎勵。
❖ Dweomerkeepers have a +2 bonus to their saving throws against any sort of magic.
❖咒文守護者在死魔區或狂野魔法區內正常施法。
❖ Dweomerkeepers function normally in both dead magic and wild magic areas.
❖每日1次,咒文守護者可 偵測魔法detect magic。該能力持續一回合,咒文守護者有每等級10%的機率辨認出是否存在某一特定法術學派或特定領域的魔法。在其他方面,本能力效果如同一環法師法術 偵測魔法detect magic。
❖ Once per day, dweomerkeepers can detect magic. The ability lasts for a turn, and the dweomerkeeper has a 10% chance per level to recognize if a certain type or certain sphere of magic is present. The ability functions otherwise as the lst-level wizard spell detect magic.
❖咒文守護者可 閱讀魔法read magic,如同1環法師法術一般,且也能閱讀 穆爾霍蘭德Mulhorand 的 南方the South、或其他地方的 異種巫師手稿different mage-script(一種一般而言無法用閱讀魔法解讀的文稿)。這一能力不能讓他們施展法師法術,僅僅是讓他們理解一切魔法文書而已。
❖ Dweomerkeepers can read magic as the 1st-level wizard spell and can also read the different mage-script used in the South in Mulhorand and elsewhere (a script usually unreadable with read magic). This does not enable them to cast wizard spells, merely to understand all magical writings.
❖3級起,每日1次,咒文守護者獲得施展 涅斯圖魔法靈光Nystul's magical aura(如同1環法師法術)的能力。信眾稱此能力為 密斯特拉的縈繞之觸Mystra's lingering touch。要使用此能力,咒文守護者只需對適合的物品輕輕一觸。
❖ At 3rd level, dweomerkeepers gain the ability to cast Nystul's magical aura (as the lst-level wizard spell) once a day. The faithful refer to thisi ability as Mystra's lingering touch. Dweomerkeepers need only touch an appropriate object to use this ability.

❖ At 5th level, dweomerkeepers are able cast dispel magic (as the 3rd-level priest spell) once a day.
❖7級起,咒文守護者可用比其他祭司更快的速度施展祭司法術。在施展任何施法時間為一輪或更短的祭司法術時,咒文守護者的施法時間減少3(舉例而言,施法時間7會減為4)。需要一輪以上時間施展的法術仍需要正常的施法時間。咒文守護者施展的祭司法術施展時間至少為1。
❖ At 7th level, dweomerkeepers can cast priest spells faster than other priests. Their casting time on all priest spells of one round or less is reduced by 3 (for example, a casting time of 7 would be reduced to 4). Spells taking more than one round to cast still require the usual amount of time. Priest spells cast by a dweomerkeeper always have a casting time of at least 1.
❖9級起,咒文守護者可凌空而行(如同五環祭司法術),或將此能力傳遞給其正在騎乘的坐騎。本能力每日可用一次。
❖ At 9th level, dweomerkeepers are able to air walk (as the 5th-level priest spell) or convey the ability to air walk to a mount they are riding once a day.
❖15級起,咒文守護者免疫任意三個其自選的法術。
❖ At 15th level, dweomerkeepers become immune to the effects of any three specific spells they choose.

豁免檢定Saving Throw:無None
這一合作法術需要至少兩名密斯特拉的祭司同步施展。每另有兩名密斯特拉的神職人員(任意職業)參與儀式,本法術就可多影響一名信徒,至多三人。其他參與儀式的神職人員必須要不施展星翔之儀,要不為本法術貢獻三個法術環數的魔法能量。貢獻能量的神職人員會從記憶中失去共計3環的法術,如同已被施展一般。貢獻一個法術的一部分會導致整道法術的喪失,如同已被施展一般。這一法術為受術者提供魔法飛行能力。它可以讓一名密斯特拉的信徒以MV 24 (A)進行橫向或縱向移動,或以MV 12 (A)進行爬升,或以MV 36 (B)猛烈俯衝。受術者可單憑一念下衝上升,並可攜帶最多等同於自身體重的物品進行飛行。只要空中仍可見群星閃耀,這道法術就將一直持續。一般而言本法術會在日出時結束,不過暴風和濃霧也可能使它過早終止。
This cooperative spell requires at least two Mystran priests casting the spell simultaneously. For every two additional Mystran clergy members (of any class) who participate in the ceremony, another Mystran worshiper can be affected, to a maximum of three worshipers. Other participating clergy must either cast starflight or donate three spell levels of magical energy to the spell. Clergy who donate energy lose three spell levels of spells from memory as if they had been cast. Portions of a spell donated result in the loss of the whole spell as if it were cast. This spell bestows on its recipient the capability of magical flight. If empowers a worshiper of Mystra to move vertically and horizontally at MV 24 (A), and at MV 12 (A) if ascending and MV 36 (B) if diving sharply. The spell recipient can swoop and rise with a mere thought and can carry up to his or her own body weight along in flight. It lasts as long as stars are visible in the sky, normally ending with sunrise, but possibly terminating earlier because of a storm or heavy fog.

這道法術允許施法者閱讀——並在之後施展——任何一環到五環法師法術。這道法術可在施展 任意法術 時通過 閱讀魔法read magic 能力解讀。為尋找所需的法術而僅僅閱讀捲軸或法術書中的法術標題不會耗盡任意法術 的魔力;即,必須閱讀整道法術。一旦 任意法術 施展完畢,且已閱讀了一道法師法術,那麼這一法師法術就將保留在祭司的心智中,直到祭司施展之。這道法師法術被施展時的效果嚴格相當於如同被一名與施法祭司同等級的法師施展,除了一點例外:任意法術 的使用者不須為驅動該法師法術使用任何材料成分。
This spell allows the caster to read and then later cast any wizard spell of 1st through 5th level. Such a spell is readable via a read magic ability conferred with the casting of anyspell, but only one spell can be read and cast for each casting of anyspell. Merely reading the titles of spells on scrolls or in spellbooks to find a desired spell does not exhaust the magic of the anyspell; an entire spell must be read. Once anyspetl is cast and a wizard spell is read, the wizard spell is retained in the priest's mind until the priest casts it. Such wizard spells are cast precisely as if by a wizard of the same level as the casting priest, except that the user of an anyspell needs no material components to work the wizard spell.
在祭司將這一法師法術存入心智後,他將不能祈求任何法術以替換這一仍未完成的任意法術。就效果而言,在這一法師法術被施展前——亦即任意法術 結束前,祭司失去了一個四環法術位。注意,為了有效使用此法術。祭司必須從他的法師朋友那借一本法術書,或是使用一個法師捲軸。(密斯特拉的祭司不能以除此以外的方式使用法師捲軸。)以此方式使用一張捲軸會消耗掉捲軸上被讀出的那個法術。
While the priest has the wizard spell in mind, she or he cannot pray for a spell to replace the still-pending anyspell. In effect, one 4th-level spell slot is "lost" until the wizard spell is cast, at which point the duration of anyspell comes to an end. Note that in order to make effective use of this spell, the priest must borrow the spellbook of a wizard friend or use a found wizard scroll. (Priests of Mystra are not otherwise able to use wizard scrolls.) Using a scroll in this fashion uses up the spell read from the scroll.

這一合作法術需要至少2名密斯特拉的祭司同步施展。每另有一名密斯特拉的神職人員(任意職業)參與儀式,本法術就可多充入一個回復效果。其他參與儀式的神職人員必須要不施展 巫焰之儀,要不為本法術貢獻四個法術環數的魔法能量。貢獻能量的神職人員會從記憶中失去共計四環的法術,如同已被施展一般。貢獻一個法術的一部分會導致整道法術的喪失,如同已被施展一般。
This cooperative spell requires at least two Mystran priests casting the spell simultaneously. For every additional Mystran clergy member (of any class) who participates in the ceremony, another restorative benefit can be empowered. Other participating clergy must either cast magefire or donate four spell levels of magical energy to the spell. Clergy who donate energy lose four spell levels of spells from memory as if they had been cast. Portions of a spell donated result in the loss of the whole spell as if it were cast.
在僅有兩名施法者時,本法術的效果如同中和毒性、治療疾病,以及移除詛咒各一道。每有一名額外的神職人員參與進來,法術就被添加一項額外的收益,也需要另外一回合以完成之。收益的效果總是以所有法術參與者的等級之和進行計算。可附加的收益,按順序,如下所示:治療盲聾cure blindness or deafness、醫療術heal、再生術regenerate、驅散魔法dispel magic。超過這一限制後,更多的參與者可以讓上述任意效果得以重複(比方說,如果一次 驅散魔法 失敗了),或在DM裁量下讓某一特殊負面狀態被治癒或解除。
With only two casters, this spell works as a neutralize poison, cure disease, and a remove curse. For each additional clergy participating, another benefit is added and the ceremony takes another turn to complete. Benefits always take effect at the combined level of all the spell's participants. The additional benefits are, in order: cure blindness or deafness, heal, regenerate, and dispel magic. Additional participants past this point enable any effect to be repeated (if a dispel magic failed, for instance) or allow a special fell condition to be healed or dispelled at the DM's discretion.

奇蹟召返Wondrous Recall

這一法術允許施法者將其在施展 奇蹟召返 前施展的法術的兩個複製品召回記憶中,以便再兩次施展該法術。一道被施展的 奇蹟召返 會以兩個虛影法術的形式存在,這兩個法術可被攜帶於施法者正常的法術容量之外。每一道此類「額外」法術均可以無聲的意念活動釋放,施法時間為1,且不需要材料成分。但施展這些法術並不能讓牧師跨越每輪只能施展一道法術的通常限制。如果施法者意圖如此,那麼兩道被召返的法術中的一道可以精確地在效果上(造成的HP傷害,效果區域,等等)複製原始法術,亦即召返據以創造虛影法術的那道法術,或者——如果這個複製品正是第二道將被釋放的虛影——複製其被召返的孿生虛影的效果。
This spell enables the caster to bring back into memory two duplicates of the last spell cast before the wondrous recall in order to enable that spell to be cast again twice. A cast wondrous recall appears as two phantom spells that can be carried in addition to the normal spell load of the caster. Each of these "extra" spells can be unleashed by silent act of will with a casting time of 1 and no need for material components. Casting these spells does not allow the priest to exceed the normal casting limitations of one spell being enacted in a round, however. If the caster so desires, one of the recalled spells can precisely duplicate in efficacy (hit points of damage done, area of effect, etc.) the original spell from which the recall copied its phantom spells or—if this exact duplicate is the second recalled spell to be unleashed—its recalled twin.
一名祭司的意識中只能同時存在一道被施展了的 奇蹟召返(也就是兩道虛影法術),加上一道未被施展的 奇蹟召返 。祈求多於一道 奇蹟召返 的禱告絕不會得到恩賜,而試圖在一道 奇蹟召返 仍在生效時施展另一道 奇蹟召返 會導致施法者慘遭 弱智術(如同同名五環法師法術)。奇蹟召返 不能召回七環或更高級的法術。
A priest may only carry in mind one cast wondrous recall (that is, two phantom spells) and one uncast wondrous recall at a time. Prayers for more than one wondrous recall are never granted and attempts to cast a irondrous recall while one is still in effect result in the caster being feebleminded (as the 5th-level wizard spell of the same name). Wondrous recall cannot recall 7th-level or greater spells.

這個強力魔法讓施法者,或是一個被接觸的活體受術者,對每環一個特定的,被指名的法師法術獲得完全的個人免疫(舉例來說,是免疫 閃電束lightning bolt,不是免疫隨便哪個閃電法術),在施法時必須決定要免疫什麼法術。此外,一道 法術守護 還提供對某一種同時具有自然與魔法雙重起源的傷害形式(典型的傷害形式包括寒冷、電擊、火焰、酸、腐敗、熱、生命能量吸取,以及毒素)的保護。不過,法術守護 不能防護任何一種疾病的侵襲。
This powerful magic confers upon the caster or a single living touched spell recipient complete personal immunity to one specific, named wizard spell of each level (for example, lightning bolt, not just any lightning spell), which must be determined during casting. In addition, a spell ward affords protection against any one form of damage of both natural and magical origin (typical forms are cold, electricity, fire, acid, rot, heat, life-energy drain, and poison. However, a spell ward cannot prevent the contraction of any disease.
對自己施展了這一法術的施法者可以——以立刻對自己造成1d6點傷害為代價——將這一來自守護的防護,通過接觸,傳遞給另一個生物。(無自覺或不自願的受術者需要施法者進行一次成功的攻擊,對抗AC10,以接觸目標。)這種傳遞不會影響守護的持續時間;受術者只能獲得剩餘的防護時間。第二次傳遞是不可能的,並非施法者本人的生物也不能把 法術守護 傳遞給別人。法術守護 對任何無自我意識自動物體(比如魔像)或不死生物無效。
Casters who use this spell on themselves can—at an immediate cost of 1d6 points of damage to themselves—transfer the protection of the ward to another being through touch. (Unaware or unwilling recipients require a successful attack on AC 10 to touch.) Such a transfer does not affect the duration of the ward; only the remaining time of protection is gained. No second transfer can be made, and a being who is not the spell's caster cannot transfer a spell ward to anyone. Spell ward does not work on automatons (such as golems) or undead creatures.
