From winning at horse racing to questioning ghosts and making love potions, these spells offer a glimpse into a government based on the whims of those in power. Other spells include silencing enemies, nullifying evil intentions, and even lighting an oven in the cold. Beware of forbidden practices, such as using a little goddess icon. Whether it's protecting a warrior, extinguishing a fire, or creating the illusion of a formidable army, these spells showcase the mystical side of ancient Rome.

Should you be so unfortunate as to fall into the Roman legal system? Win at horse racing. That's the one that started off Maggoliot's whole quest for this book and is just a general favorite of ancient magic across the board and restore to office one who has fallen from favor. So this is dealing with the vagaries of a government system based entirely or almost entirely on the whims of those in power. Last but not least we have a bunch of other spells which we can classify under Erata. You can question a ghost or spirit or make a love potion. That's a single spell. You can silence your enemies, nullify evil intentions and then a few really juicy and wonderful ones. You can lighten oven in the cold. This is a very useful thing I suppose back in the day before people had mains gas. You can expel a dangerous animal or quell a rising river or sea. That's to be done with the little goddess icon that we mentioned earlier which is specifically forbidden by the rabbis. Protect a man going forth to battle. extinguish a fire in a bath house. Give proof of power by filling a house with flame which does not burn. And upon returning safely from a war or journey creating the appearance that a mighty company is with one.
