[Sorcery] Spellbook project

Working on translating spells from the Swedish RPG Drakar och Demoner 6th edition. So I'm looking for help on this. Hopefully I will be able to put it up under resources when the time comes. Names for the spells are given in "Trudvälska", which is a made up language that sounds vaguely like Old Norse (an English translation might be "Trudberish" from gibberish).

Edit: In this system, Buff spells are almost always Touch spells. Touch is the same as "Melee Attack, C or 1" and is worth -20%.

Mana in this system is called "vitner" and is divided into "Havitner", or "outer energy" and "Rimvitner", or "inner energy". Spells using Rimvitner are generally (but not always) more powerful than spells using Havitner. Being able to use only Havitner is a -20% limitation on the Sorcerous Empowerment advantage and Sorcery Talent. Being able to use Havitner is a prerequisite for being able to use Rimvitner.

I am improvising many of the modifiers here, so if you wonder where I found something particular... I probably made it up. :o) However, this also means that some of them may be terribly unbalanced. Remember, this has not been playtested. Use with caution and don't be afraid to change things around if something crashes your game. And if it does, please let me know!
