The '''Range''' of a [[Magic|magical]] effect in general, or [[Hermetic]] [[Spell|spell]] in particular, specifies the distance on which it successfully affects its [[Target (spell)|target]]. It is important to note that this is the range to ''reach'' the target, and need not encompass all of it - it is enough to "touch" it, so to speak. [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Tradition]]s set aside, [[Hermetic]] [[Magic|magic]] knows the follow basic ranges: : Personal : Affects the caster only. : Touch : Affects a touched a [[Target (spell)]]. : Eye : Affects a [[Target (spell)]] that the caster can see eye to eye. : Voice : Affects a [[Target (spell)]] that the caster's voice carries to. : Sight : Affects a [[Target (spell)]] that the caster can see. : [[Arcane Connection]] : Affects a [[Target (spell)]] that the caster has got an [[Arcane Connection]] to. Although these are the standard ranged, Hermetic formulaic (and Ritual) spells can utilize non-standard ranges. These are limited only by the [[Limits of Magic]] and the consent of the [[troupe]], but precedent seems to indicate only minor extensions are allowed. Spontaneous spells are limited to the standard ranges. = Non-Hermetic Ranges Certain mysteries allow [[magi]] to cast spells with other ranges, often violating the [[Limits of Magic]] in subtle ways. : Road : The [[Faerie Magic]] [[Exoteric Mystery|Exoteric]] [[Outer Mystery|Outer]] [[Mystery]] allows several benefits, amongst them the use of the new [[Road (Range)]] range. This range can also be accessed by the [[Neo-Mercurians]]. : Symbol : The [[Mystery]] of [[Symbolic Magic]] teaches several new [[spell parameter|spell parameters]], including the new range [[Symbol (Range)]]. = References * [[ArM5]], p. 111 = See also * [[Spell]] * [[Duration (spell)]] * [[Target (spell)]]
