Spell Target

The Target of a magical effect in general, or Hermetic spell in particular, specifies the object or subject that is affected by it.

Mysteries and Traditions set aside, Hermetic magic knows the following basic Targets:

Individual : A single object or subject, one of its kind.

Circle : That which is contained in a Circle (target).

Part : A specific spatial part of an object or subject.

Group : Multiple Individuals that are not too distant from one another.

Room : Everything that is contained in a room, chamber, hall, or natural single chamber, such as a cave. Whatever constitutes the room itself can also be affected.

Structure : Everything that is contained in the spatial border of a structure, either built or natural. Whatever constitutes the structure itself can also be affected.

Boundary : Everything that is contained in a Boundary (target). Spells with this target must be ritual spells.
