A friend my girlfriend use to game with loved to play a hard-headed cleric named Clarissa. My GF told me plenty of stories about how you could say things to the character and she just would never understand exactly what you meant. The player did naturally, but the character was as few arrows short of a quiver. So when we were coming up with spells for Book of Magic: Signature Spells 2, one of my GF’s first suggestions was Clarissa. These two spells were written for her.
