OD&D Spells that could be translated to Star Trek.

[apeloverage]

From my limited knowledge of Star Trek, the following spells could be translated into technological effects.

Sufficiently powerful aliens could probably mimic any spell.


MU spells:

Read Languages

Light (and Continual Light)

Sleep - but it's highly unlikely to affect a set number of Hit Dice. Rather, anyone in the area would have to make a save.

Charm Person (and Charm Monster) - probably only bad guys would do this.

Detect Invisible

Levitate

Phantasmal Forces (and Hallucinatory Terrain, Projected Image) - except that it can't cause damage.

Locate Object

Invisibility (and Invisibility 10" radius)

ESP - only alien technology.

Hold Person, Hold Monster - only alien technology.

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Wizard Eye

Infravision

Slow Spell - only alien technology.

Water Breathing

Confusion, Cloudkill, Feeblemind, Deathspell - probably only bad guys would use these. Feeblemind could possibly only work on telepathic creatures rather than only on magic-users.

Dimension Door (obviously)

Disintegrate (obviously)


Cleric spells (except for those which are also MU spells):

Cure Light Wounds (and Cure Disease, Neutralise Poison, Cure Serious Wounds)

Purify Food and Water

Detect Magic - actually detect technology, for example to locate a lost party on the surface of an otherwise primitive world.

Create Water (and Create Food)


Druid Spells (except those that are also Cleric spells):

Predict Weather

Hold Animal (probably this, Hold Person and Hold Monster would be one effect)

Cure Serious Wounds

Good work! I hadn't been thinking along these lines, but this would definitely seem to be a good first step. Next step is to decide which class (Science, Medical, Engineering) has what, and to rename and re-describe them to fit...

[apeloverage]

A fourth category might be things that can only be done with shipboard equipment ie between adventures - perhaps Cure Disease for example.

Slightly whimsically, maybe instead of reversing spells engineers can try to reverse the polarity of a piece of technology, which makes it do the opposite of what it's supposed to.
