What They Did not Teach...

WHAT THEY DID NOT TEACH YOU AT WIZARDS SCHOOL


Contingent School
This is a contingent subschool, which is typically noted in the spells description as (Contingent School). A contingent spell requires that an arcane or divine spellcaster have access to a specic school and not be prohibited from its spells. For example, a spell labelled Enchantment (Contingent Illusion) is an Enchantment spell that can only be cast by a character that could also cast Illusion spells. This has lead to some Schools spells being unavailable to specialists who are prohibited from contingent schools.

he study of magic at wizards school is sufcient for most spellcasters but anyone truly devoted to the arcane arts will eventually decided to leave their mouldy textbooks behind and begin to experiment with the nature of magic itself. Many of the spells introduced in this tome are the direct result of this sort of this experimentation. Likewise the spells presented in this tome may exhibit a number of new properties which are detailed below.

DESCRIPT OR
Appearing on the same line as the school and subschool, when applicable, is a descriptor that further categorises the spell in some way. Some spells have more than one descriptor. There are eight new descriptors used in the Renegade Wizards Spellbook, their descriptions and properties are noted below.

Subschool
Almost every spell belongs to one of eight schools of magic. A school of magic is a group of related spells that work in similar ways. A small number of spells (arcane mark, limited wish, permanency, prestidigitation and wish) are universal, belonging to no school. Traditionally there are 13 subschools of magic with each school having a limited set of subschools. However, some specialist wizards have discovered that there is another subschool that can be applied to any of the traditional schools of magic.

Archaic
There are a small number of spells that are ancient, older than almost any other spell known by wizards today. It stands to reason that the art of spellcasting, just like any other art or science, would adapt and evolve over time until there came a point when modern spellcasting techniques would little resemble the techniques used thousands of years ago. Spellcasters, it can be assumed, would have difculty following the archaic practices detailed in the spellbooks from so long ago an era. For our purposes, such spells are identied with the descriptor Archaic.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

What They Did not Teach...

magic is improving and not being forgotten, the archaic descriptor is out of place and should not be used. Each Games Master must determine for himself how magic has changed over time in his campaign world.

Age
This descriptor denotes any spell that relates to magical aging effects or the rejuvenation of a creature to an earlier age.

Focuse d
Spells with this descriptor can be cast by any mage, but when cast by a specialist in the spells school with Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus in that school of magic it has an additional or more powerful effect. The focused descriptor can be seen in action in the caress group of spells in this spellbook. Although this descriptor was rst seen within the Transmutation school; other specialists are beginning to perfect this type of spell research as well.

Hanging
Archaic spells are both more difcult to learn and more difcult to cast. Learning an archaic spell requires the spellcaster to spend a number of weeks equal to the spells level doing nothing but studying. Breaks for eating and sleeping are allowed but the spellcaster must spend a minimum of 15 hours a day studying the spell in question. At the end of that time the spellcaster must make an Intelligence check (DC equal to the spell level plus 20). For each extra week spent studying, the spellcaster gains a +1 circumstance bonus to this check. If this check is failed, the spellcaster may not attempt to learn this spell again until he has gained a level in his spellcasting class. When casting an archaic spell, the spellcaster must make a Spellcraft check (DC 10 plus the spells level). The caster gains a +1 circumstance bonus to this roll for each round above the stated casting time he spends doing nothing but casting the spell. If this check fails, the spell slot is expended though the spell has no effect. NOTE: In your campaign, magic may have evolved differently. The archaic descriptor, as described above, assumes that spellcasting is actually decreasing in power as time elapses. For campaigns in which Hanging spells are cast when an arcane spellcaster rst prepares or regains his spell slots. These spells then remain active throughout the rest of the day, awaiting only a single word to perform their full effect. While hanging, they count as current spell effects and maybe dispelled normally. Speaking the activation word is an immediate action that can be taken even if it is not the casters turn as long as he is not at footed at the time. Hanging spells count as spent spell slots and are instantly negated without effect if the spellcaster rells that spell slot for any reason, even through the use of an item like a ring of wizardry. The casting time for any hanging spell is one minute per spell level unless otherwise noted. If the hanging spell is cast from a scroll, it remains in effect for 24 hours; at the end of that time it fades if it is not used.

Judicial Curse
There are times when a criminal cannot be brought to justice, or when she is simply too powerful for the forces of the law to overcome. But where an evil archmage may be able to resist any minor spell a crusading cleric has in her repertoire, the church can call on the power of the faithful to overcome his resistance. If a spell is identied as a judicial curse, it has the following benets and restrictions:

David Culliford (order #1969295)

What They Did not Teach...

Ceremonial Force: You can increase the power of the spell by taking additional time to perform the ritual and by receiving support from assistants. This increased effect is measured in ceremonial force. For every two hours you add to the casting time of the spell, you receive 1 point of ceremonial force. You can spend a maximum of six hours in order to receive a total of 3 points of ceremonial force by increasing casting time. For every two assistants you have helping you with the ritual, you receive 1 point of ceremonial force, to a maximum bonus of 3. Assistants must be of at least 2nd level in a class that has the potential to cast the spell in question. To provide you with this benet, an assistant must perform the verbal and somatic components required by the spell, and he must participate for the full casting time of the spell. If the spell is divine in nature, you can increase its power further through use of a sacred relic of your deity. The nature of the deity will determine the nature of her relics; a goddess of knowledge might have spread the pages of the rst book across the world, while a war god would treasure the weapons of his sacred champions. You cannot create a relic, and it is ultimately up to the Games Master to decide if your god even has relics. Depending on the holiness of the object, you will gain 1 to 3 points of ceremonial force from its presence. Even if you have multiple relics, you cannot gain more than 3 points of ceremonial force. Arcane casters may be able to mimic this effect by creating esoteric spell ampliers; this is left up to the Games Master. Ceremonial force has the following effects: Spell formulas (such as spell range) may be modied by the number of points of ceremonial force in the spell. These effects vary, and details can be found in the description of a specic judicial curse. The ceremonial force is added to the DC of the spells saving throw. This cannot increase the DC by more than 5 points. If the spell effect can be removed with break enchantment, the ceremonial force is added to your level to determine the effective caster level of the spell. Unless otherwise specied, the effects of a judicial curse can be broken with remove curse. Add

the ceremonial force of the spell to your caster level; the character attempting to break the curse must be of equal or higher level or remove curse will fail. Restrictions: A judicial curse can only be used on a creature that could normally fall under the jurisdiction of your justice system. Nationality is not an issue, so most societies could target any human; but you cannot excommunicate a dragon. As an optional rule, the Games Master may decide that judicial curses cannot be used unless the target has actually been convicted of a crime (even if he was tried in absentia); alternately, he could receive a +5 bonus to his saving throw if he is innocent of any wrongdoing. These benets and restrictions only apply to spells that are clearly designated as judicial curses! You cannot increase the power of a reball just because you have a few friends working with you.

Poison
The descriptor does not have any mechanical effect in its own right. However, it interacts with various other mechanics introduced in the book. It represents a spells reliance on the magical manipulation of poison. In addition to the spells contained in this book, the following classic spells should have it added to their entry: delay poison, detect poison, neutralise poison and poison.

Prime
The prime descriptor indicates a spell that uses the eld of power between the caster and the Prime Material Plane to generate its effects. As such, the spell does not work if cast in a dimension other than the prime or if the caster is in a physical state other than corporeal. Outsiders can use prime spells without difculty, provided they are on the prime material plane when they do so and are corporeal at the time. Creatures who lack corporeality cannot use prime spells at all, even if they are manifested at the time of casting.

T emporal
Temporal is a designator applied to all spells to do with the manipulation, perception or investigation of time. A wizard who has learned to cast these spells is often known as a chronomancer. In order to successfully be able to cast spells with the temporal designator, an arcane spellcaster must possess at least 5 ranks in both Knowledge (arcana) and Spellcraft, as well as possess the Extend Spell and Quicken Spell feats.

What They Did not Teach...

Components
A spells components are what you must do or possess to cast it. The Components entry in a spell description includes abbreviations that tell you what type of components it has. Specics for material, focus and XP components are given at the end of the descriptive text. Usually you do not worry about components, but when you cannot use a component for some reason or when a material or focus component is expensive, then the components are important. Additionally, some complex spells require a skill check to use properly. Skill Check (SK): A skill check is sometimes necessary in spells that have long casting time or delicate somantic components. The skill check component was rst seen in the crafted series of Illusion spells that allow for the development of enduring illusions at all spellcaster levels. The skill check can also be used to make the spell a masterwork effect adding +1 to the spells save DC.

you would normally be allowed to take a free action. Swift actions usually involve magic or the activation of magic items; many characters (especially those who do not use magic) never have an opportunity to take a swift action. Casting a quickened spell is a swift action. In addition, casting any spell with a casting time of one swift action is a swift action. Casting a spell with a casting time of one swift action does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Imme diat e Action


Much like a swift action, an immediate action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. However, unlike a swift action, an immediate action can be performed at any time - even if it is not your turn. Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action, and counts as your swift action for that turn. You cannot use another immediate action or a swift action until after your next turn if you have used an immediate action when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using an immediate action before your turn is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn). You a l s o cannot use an immediate action if you are currently at-footed.

Casting Time
Most spells have a casting time of one standard action. Others take one round or more, while a few require only a free action. A spell that takes one round to cast is a full-round action. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed. Recently spells have been researched that can be cast as swift or immediate actions.

Aiming a Spell
You must make some choice about whom the spell is to affect or where the effect is to originate, depending on the type of spell. The next entry in a spell description denes the spells target (or targets), its effect or its area, as appropriate. Mages who regularly see the elds of battle are not content with the simple areas of effect so common in other types of arcane magic. In order to gain the maximum impact from their spells, they have created several new ways to deliver magical effects for some of their castings, detailed below.

Swift Action
A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. You can perform one swift action per turn without affecting your ability to perform other actions. In that regard, a swift action is like a free action. However, you can perform only a single swift action per turn, regardless of what other actions you take. You can take a swift action any time

What They Did not Teach...

Mobil e Emanation
Spells with this area of effect have an initial area that is the same as a normal emanation. However, each round after the rst, the caster can move the centre of the emanation up to 30 feet in any direction and the area of effect will move with it. This allows casters to cover a larger area with this spell than would otherwise be possible with a standard burst or emanation spell. An example of this type of effect and its movement is provided below.

Each round thereafter, a new leg of the spiral unfolds and the effect turns 90 degrees to the direction of the second leg and travels 5 feet further than it did previously. Note that all legs of the spiral remain in existence until the round after the nal leg unfolds. See the diagram below, for an example of a spiral with a 75-foot length.

In the rst diagram, the grey square indicates the original centre of the emanation. The black squares show the surrounding area of effect. In the second diagram, the greyed-out area represents the original location of the area of effect, while the black squares show the new location of the spell. When a mobile emanation spell moves, the whole area of effect moves at once. The original area of effect fades away to be replaced a moment later by the new area of effect the emanation does not sweep through an area like a stream spell.

In the above diagram, the asterisk represents the original target square of the spiral spell. Each leg is coloured in alternating black and grey and the spiral ends in the grey square, where its 75-foot length runs out. If a spiral spell runs into an obstruction, it immediately makes a 90-degree turn and continues normally for the rest of its length. This will often cause the spiral to cross over itself, which mages must be aware of to avoid unintended consequences. If the spiral runs into a dead end, it immediately stops and the spell ends. An obstruction must completely ll the square the effect is crossing through a wall or door will block the effect, but a column or stalagmite will allow the spell effect to pass through unhindered. Battleeld mages can use a spiral to protect themselves or friendly units inside an expanding area of deadly magic. Precise targeting of this type of spell can be used to clear away forces harassing the mage or his allies and is very useful in constrained areas where obstructions limit the usefulness of a standard burst or emanation spell. The spiral area of effect also provides a signicant surprise factor with its extended, unusual effect patterns and duration. Careful planning can also allow the spiral spell to bend around corners and pass through open doors to create a ricochet effect that is sure to keep enemies off guard.

Spirals
Spiral areas of effect are unique to battleeld magic and were devised to provide greater coverage of a battleeld without sacricing a spells effective potency. A spiral has one variable dimension, its length, but its basic shape is always the same. A spiral is targeted on one 5-foot square when it is cast. On impact, the spiral effect lls the target square and then travels in a straight line for 10 feet, lling all the squares it passes through. At the beginning of the next round, the next leg of the spiral unfolds and the area of effect makes a 90-degree turn to the left or right (casters choice of which) and continues on for 15 feet, again lling each square it passes through.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

What They Did not Teach...

Unless otherwise noted, each leg of a spiral is 20-foot tall, or as tall as the ceiling of the area in which it is cast. A spiral does not spread across a ceiling if the ceiling is less than 20-foot tall.

Str eam
A stream area of effect is a straight line that originates with the caster and can be swept across an area during its duration. When cast, the stream extends from the caster out to the limit of its length in a straight line. On each following round, as a standard action, the caster can swing the far end of the stream up to 20 feet to the left or right, moving the area of effect to conform to the new location. Any target in the line of the streams new position, or in a location the stream moved through on the way to its new location, suffers the spells effect. See the diagrams below for an example of a 40-foot stream being swept through an area.

In the round that it is cast, the stream extends as shown in the rst diagram, catching targets A and B within its area of effect. On the next round, the mage sweeps the stream to the right, as shown in the second diagram. The second diagram illustrates the area the spell swept through, and we can see that targets D and E were affected as the stream crossed through their squares. When determining which squares are affected by a stream, simply laying a string or exible ruler between the caster and the original target location works very well. When the spell is swung, move the string to the new location and the stream affects any square that the string passes through. All movement of the stream is assumed to occur during the casters action and persists from round to round until its duration has expired. Stream spells are most effective for scattering enemy forces or forcing them to move in a particular direction. Because the area of effect can be moved from one spot to another, enemies are forced to remain on the move if they want to stay out of the streams way. A stream is also frighteningly effective when used against large numbers of relatively weak creatures; burning up a horde of kobolds is a snap when you have a stream of acid at your ngertips.

S P E L L D ESCRIPTI ONS
2 Minutes
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous 2 minutes gives you the time to take 20 on a single skill check without expending the regular time to do so. The skill check must be an actual action, you must have at least one rank in the skill, all necessary equipment must be on your person and ready to use. Skill checks that require extensive time or bulk materials cannot be used with this spell. The skill check cannot be a reaction to outside actions or the actions of others. During the action, you cannot move from your current position but you can perform any other physical aspects of the skill use. You cannot make use of any spell, supernatural or even extraordinary abilityrelated skill check. You could, for example, use this spell to disable a trap you are kneeling next to or pick a lock. You could not use it to make Balance, Climb, Jump or Tumble checks. You cannot even Hide unless already in a suitable place to do so. While you perform the skill use, the world appears to stop about you. To others, you seem to blur and then the action is complete. As a by-product, the creature ages one full day. Spells and other external forces with a xed duration do not experience the day but poisons, diseases and other internal forces progress as if a day had passed. If 24 hours were cast on a bleeding individual, for example, this spell would kill them unless they stabilised. For reasons not properly understood even by chronomancers, this spell does not clear the targets mind in a way that would allow arcane spellcasters to recover spells nor does it allow a psionic character to regain used power points. Its original creator, a mysterious chronomancer whose name has been lost, is rumoured to still be working on a spell that will allow just this kind of freedom. So far, he has not succeeded. Material Component: A broken hourglass.

A King in Crimson with Eyes of Starless Night


Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) When you cast this spell, you temporarily assume the traits and powers of a master vampire. You gain most of the benets of the vampire template, but gain its weaknesses as well; because the living mortal soul rebels against deaths cold, intrusive touch, you are not as powerful as a true vampire, but neither are you so easily harmed. Upon casting this spell, you gain the vampire template, with changes as listed below: * Type: You retain your original creature type, but gain a +4 bonus to saves against poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects and mind inuencing effects. Hit Dice: You gain +2 hit points per caster level. Domination (Su): At your caster level. Energy Drain (Su): Your slam attack does not inict negative levels.

This spell may only be used once on any corpse. Absorb dead esh does not work on any corpse that does not have some rotten meat hanging from its bones. Material Component: A corpse.

Fast Healing (Ex): You heal 5 points of damage each round as normal, but if reduced to 0 hit points or less, you fall unconscious and the spell ends immediately. Abilities: You gain increases to Strength and Dexterity as normal, but do not gain increased mental attributes and your Constitution is unaffected. Feats: You gain any two of the following feats: Alertness, Combat Reexes, Dodge, Improved Initiative, Lightning Reexes.

Absorb Information
Transmutation Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Object touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No Information is power, and sometimes you need that power fast. When you are dealing with long rows of gures, complicated instructions, or a secret battle plan, absorb information can help you. This spell instantly transfers written information from a book, scroll or similar document to your mind, allowing you to recall it perfectly at will. Non magical writings are transferred automatically. To absorb the writing of a magical item, you must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) versus a DC of 11 + the items caster level. If you absorb a document with more than one spell written in it, you must make a caster level check for each spell absorbed. Absorb information may absorb any spell that can be affected by an erase spell. If you fail the caster level check to absorb explosive runes, glyph of warding, or a sepia snake sigil, you accidentally activate the runes, glyph or sigil instead. Absorbing a spell does not mean that you learn or can cast that spell. You can write the spell in a spellbook or (if you have the Scribe Scroll feat) on a scroll, but if the spell was written by someone else you must rst decipher it as per the standard rules for deciphering magical writing. You may not create magical items using an absorbed spell unless you are capable of casting that spell. You can write down the text of a magical book like the tome of clear thought, but it has no magical power unless you enchant it. (You gain no magical benet from mentally studying the absorbed text of a magical book the power is in the physical book itself.)

In addition to the above abilities, you also take on the following weaknesses: * Turning: You can be turned or rebuked as though you were an undead being. For the purposes of turning checks, you are considered to be an undead with Hit Dice equal to your caster level. Regardless of the turning check result, you cannot be destroyed. Sunlight: You suffer 2d6 points of damage per round of exposure to direct sunlight. If you are reduced to 0 hit points or less by sunlight, or by a spells like sunburst or sunbeam, your body is destroyed utterly.

Material Component: A pinch of dirt from a grave and a square of burial cloth, both of which are consumed in the casting.

When the spell is cast, you select a number of targets equal to your level that are within the spells range. Any targeted creature that fails its Reex save suffers

4d8 points of acid damage. The corrosive action of the acid also damages the creatures armour (either worn or natural) and reduces the protection it offers by 1d4 points of Armour Class. Natural armour that is degraded will remain so until any wounds caused by this spell have been healed. Any worn armour degraded by this spell must be repaired. Armour that is so badly degraded that it no longer offers any protection is considered destroyed. Magical armour gets a Fortitude save as usual (see PHB) to completely avoid any degradation. As a free action, the caster may choose new targets each round until the spells duration expires. Note that no creature may be targeted by this spell in two consecutive rounds. Material Components: A diamond vial (worth at least 800 gp) lled with acid.

Acid Symbol
Necromancy [Acid] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: 1 HD of animated corporeal undead/ level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Undead creatures animated by you are imbued with an undulating sigil that oats just above their heads. The body of the creature drips with thick greyish slime, and acid oozes steadily from its eye sockets. The spell affects a number of Hit Dice of animated undead equal to your level. Undead with the acid symbol deal an extra 1d6 points of acid damage when they strike with a natural weapon. Creatures touching or striking the symbol-bearing undead with a natural weapon also suffer this damage. The creatures acidic touch deals 20 points of damage per round to wood or metal objects. Armour and clothing dissolves and becomes useless immediately unless succeeding a Reex save (DC 19). The acid cannot harm stone. A wooden or metal weapon that strikes a symbol-bearing undead creature also dissolves immediately unless if succeeds a Reex save (DC 19). Additionally, undead under this spell have acid immunity. This spell does not stack with other symbol spells.

Additionally, this spell grants energy resistance 20 to the prevalent types of energy common to the plane, such as magma in the Elemental Plane of Fire.

This shield will also detonate on its own if you are ever reduced to zero hit points or less. Material Component: A crystal shield lled with perfume and acid (150 gp value).

Evocation Level: Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 10 minutes/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes The energy of this spell creates a white, swirled brand on the face, hand or other prominent feature of any creature, living or undead. Those bearing this mark gain a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity. They also possess the ability to conjure a shield of swirling air that provides a +5 deection bonus to Armour Class for 10 rounds. Using this shield of air ability is a standard action that immediately dismisses the air brand.

Alchemists Boon
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour or until discharged When this spell is cast, your sense of smell grows extremely acute in regards to alchemical reagents. You gain a bonus of +5 to the next Craft (alchemy) check you make. This check must be made within one hour of casting the boon or you lose its effect. This bonus only occurs once, so it may not be useful for aiding an extended action but for identication purposes and other quick uses of the Craft (alchemy) skill, it can be extremely helpful. Most forms of this spell cause the casters nose to grow quite large until the effect is expended. Material Component: An ounce of lead, a gold coin and a drop of blood from a gnome.

Air Brand, Greater


Evocation Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 4 As air brand, except that the mark allows the subject to y with a speed of 40 feet (good manoeuvrability) for the spells duration or until the subject uses the greater shield of air ability: as under air brand, but the wall of churning air created works exactly like a wind wall that lasts 10 rounds.

Alchemistry
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Target: One magical scroll or potion As per lesser alchemistry, but the effect has improved to allow the same changes to scrolls. If alchemistry is used to emulate lesser alchemistry and affect a potion, there is no experience point cost for the transfer of a prepared or known spell. This essentially allows free use of the lesser alchemistry spell, though the material cost of the alchemical formula remains the same for that spell. Alchemistry lets you transfer a spell from one magical scroll into another along the same guidelines as lesser alchemistry. There is no spell level limit to scrolls but the spell transferred into the scroll must still come from a scroll, a potion or from your own prepared spells (for a wizard) or known spells (for a sorcerer). After the casting of this spell, the donor scroll is destroyed, even if it has other spells on it. If the donated spell was from your memory, it is either lost as if cast or a spell slot of the same level is expended,

Alacritous Stride
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 minute/level (D) This spell allows its caster to move with complete agility along almost any surface. The character triples his normal movement rate. If he does not already have them, he receives a climb and swim movement rate equal to triple his normal movement rate. If he does have one or both, he triples their values or increases them to triple his conventional movement rate, whichever is higher. The increase in speed is an enhancement bonus. The caster does not lose his Dexterity bonus to his Armour Class while climbing and need only make Climb or Swim checks when performing difcult or intricate manoeuvres, for which he receives a +8

depending on your method of casting. This use of the spell can also transfer a spell from you onto a piece of blank parchment suitable for enchanting, creating in effect a magical scroll in a fraction of the time and effort usually required. Alchemistry can also be used to transfer an arcane spell from a scroll directly into your memory, replacing one of your prepared spells for that level. If you do not prepare spells, the spell occupies one of your spell slots. You must have a prepared spell or spell slot of the appropriate level available to accept the spell or the alchemistry is wasted. This spell cannot be scribed down once it is in your memory; it can simply be cast. In fact, until it is cast, the spell slot is occupied and cannot be replaced or relled until used. When the spell is cast, it acts at your caster level. Metamagic feats used in the scrolls version remain intact, even if you do not possess those feats, though you must be able to cast the spell at its modied level. You may not apply metamagic feats on the transferred spell that you know personally, even if you can do so spontaneously. Material Components: The item (potion or scroll) to be donated from, the item (potion or scroll) to accept the spell, or the material components for the transferred spell if it is coming from you directly. XP Cost: None if the spells are simply being transferred from one magical item to another. If the spells come directly from you onto blank parchment, you must pay the full experience point cost for creating a scroll of that spell. No gold cost for such creation applies, however. Skill Check: A specially prepared alchemical potion must rst be created requiring a Craft (alchemy) check (DC 20), access to an alchemist lab kit, 100 gp for materials, and 10 minutes of preparation. This alchemical potion spoils after one week and must be drunk prior to casting this spell.

if it is used anyway, the spell transferred can be up to 4th level, bypassing the normal level limit on potions. If this spell is used to emulate alchemistry, the spell transferred from you does not even need to be prepared; it can simply be one you know and have scribed into your spellbook. If this is done, a slot of the appropriate level is still spent. Any experience cost you would incur for transferring a spell of 6th or lower level to a blank parchment is halved if you use this spell. Greater alchemistrys primary purpose is to facilitate the transferral of a spell from your prepared spells (or a known spell you can cast as a sorcerer) or any charged item and transfer it to any other magical item or item suitable for enchantment. This process removes the spell completely from the donor item, destroying it in the process, and grants it to the intended item along with any charges it possessed. Unwilling intelligent items are unaffected by this spell if they do not wish to be. If the intended item is a masterwork item suitable for enchantment, it receives the spell at half its previous charges and is considered magical thereafter. The Games Master must decide what constitutes suitable for enchantment in the case of a wand, staff, or rod. Newly created items that come from the casters prepared spells (as opposed to an item) begin with full charges for an equivalent item

Alchemistry, Greater
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Target: One magical scroll, potion or charged magical item This spell works as per the spell lesser alchemistry, but has a number of enhancements over the original spell. If this spell is used to emulate lesser alchemistry, it does away with the gold, material components, and experience point cost normally required. Even the alchemical potion becomes unnecessary, although

of the same type. If there is no item of an equivalent sort, the item gets one charge per caster level. Scrolls and potions contribute only a single charge. For example, a caster could hold a diamond ring in one hand and a scroll of polymorph in the other. By casting greater alchemistry, the scroll is destroyed and the ring becomes a magical ring with the ability to cast polymorph (at the same caster level as the scroll) on command. The now magical ring has one charge. The caster could also take the polymorph from his prepared spells. Since rings do not generally have charges, the ring of polymorph would have 11 charges if the caster were 11th level at the time of this casting. Material Components: The item (potion, scroll or charged item) to be donated from, the item (potion, scroll or charged item) to accept the spell, or the material components for the transferred spell if it is coming from you directly. XP Cost: None if the spells are simply being transferred from one magical item to another. If the spells come directly from you onto blank parchment, you must pay the full experience point cost for creating a scroll of that spell. No gold cost for such creation applies, however. Skill Check: A specially prepared alchemical potion must rst be created requiring a Craft (alchemy) check (DC 25), access to an alchemist lab kit, 250 gp for materials, and 20 minutes of preparation. This alchemical potion spoils after one week and must be drunk prior to casting this spell.

If you choose to take the spell from yourself, it must be one of your prepared spells or one you know and can cast as a sorcerer. The spell must still be of 3rd level or lower, unless you somehow possess the ability to bypass this limit. A spell transferred in this way, as with all transferred personal spells in any version of alchemistry, is lost as if cast. Material Components: The scroll to be donated from, the potion to accept the spell or the material components for the transferred spell if it is coming from you directly. XP Cost: None if the spell are simply being transferred from a scroll to a potion. If the spell comes directly from the caster, you must pay the full experience point cost for creating a potion of that spell. No gold cost for such creation applies, however. Skill Check: A specially prepared alchemical potion must rst be created requiring a Craft (alchemy) check (DC 15), access to an alchemist lab kit, 50 gp for materials, and 10 minutes of preparation. This alchemical potion spoils after one week and must be drunk prior to casting this spell.

Alchemistry, True
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Target: One magical item or item suitable for enchantment
True alchemistry is the ultimate form of alchemical item transmutation. It can be used in place of lesser alchemistry or alchemistry without any material components or experience point cost. The precision and power of this spell also allows potions of up to 5th level and retains any additional spells that might be on a donor scroll, though the transferred spell is still lost. In addition, this spell can be used to emulate greater alchemistry without any material components needed and at half the required experience point cost, if any. Even the need for the alchemical potion is waived. If true alchemistry is used in this way, the spell granted to the charged item, scroll, or potion can come from known spells that are not yet prepared, though a slot of the appropriate level must still be spent.

Alchemistry, Lesser
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M, XP, SK Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: One magical potion Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (object) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) This spell allows you to transform any magical potion, granting it the effect of any spell you wish to drain from a held scroll or from your own spells. If you wish to imbue the potion with a spell from a scroll, you must choose a spell that can be imbued into a potion; i.e. 3rd level or lower. You do not have to be able to use the scroll in question, which is destroyed after transfer even if it has other spells on it.

True alchemistry is capable of creating magical items of any sort in an incredibly short period of time by cannibalising other items or spells in your memory the way other alchemistry spells sacrice scrolls, potions, and charged items. This creation process is vastly faster than true item creation, requires no special feats and can even craft amalgam items with the powers of several others.

Spell Descriptions

You begin this spell by holding the intended recipient item with one hand and touching the donor item (if any) in the other. By invoking the spell, one power or special quality (in the case of a weapon or armour) is removed from the donor item and gained by the recipient. The donor item is then destroyed if it fails a Will save using the casters base saving throw. In any case, the item loses the donated power permanently. Enchantment bonuses can be pulled in total as one power, but they supersede and do not stack with bonuses the recipient item may already have. If you wish, you can take a spell from your prepared or known spells (if you are a sorcerer) and grant it to the recipient in the same charged manner as greater alchemistry. This spell only transfers a power from one item per casting, but a recipient item can receive as many powers as you wish through successive castings up to a maximum market value of 10,000 gp times your caster level. The Games Master may determine that some powers cannot be transferred to some items, such as armour enchantment bonuses to a ring or the reballs (all technically one power) from a necklace of missiles into a shirt. In addition, obviously useless powers can be transferred like the defending special weapon quality into an item with no bonuses, but the result will have no practical use. Material Components: The item to be donated from, the item to accept the spell, or the material components for the transferred spell if it is coming from you directly. In addition to these, you must drink a previously prepared alchemical potion as part of the spellcasting. This potion costs 1000 gp, requires a Craft (alchemy) check at a DC of 30 and takes 30 minutes to create. This potion is not needed if you are emulating any other form of alchemistry. XP Cost: You must also pay any XP costs required for the transferred powers, as determined by your Games Master for item creation. Skill Check: A specially prepared alchemical potion must rst be created requiring a Craft (alchemy) check (DC 30), access to an alchemist lab kit, 1000 gp for materials, and 30 minutes of preparation. This alchemical potion spoils after one week and must be drunk prior to casting this spell.

Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Targets: Creature or creatures touched (up to one/ level) Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes A touch from your hand, which glows with cursed dark energy, disrupts the mind of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d4 points of Wisdom damage to the target unless it makes a successful Will saving throw. You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

Alter Poison Damage Type


Transmutation [Poison] Level: Asn 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)l Target: One dose of non-magical poison that deals ability damage Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (object) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) You are able to change the type of ability damage dealt by the effected poison. Poison that deals Strength, Dexterity or Constitution damage may only be altered to one of the other two types. Poison that deals Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma damage may only be altered to one of the other two types. When the spell ends, the poison reverts to its normal damage type, even if it occurs between dealing initial and secondary damage to a poisoned creature. A dose of poison under the effect of this spell is considered a magically modied poison.

Note that this spell only disguises the taste of the meal and does

not alter any other quality of it. While it will alter the taste of rotten meat, for instance, the meat will still be rotten. Furthermore, all parts of the meal taste the same no matter what is eaten. Thus soup, salad, main course, dinner roll and so on will all taste exactly alike since the spell masks any and all avours with the taste. Each creature that tastes the meal will experience a different taste sensation depending on what his or her preference is. Thus one creature might taste warm bread while another tastes raw meat. This spell changes the taste of anything that is part of the meal at the time the spell is cast; if something is added later, such as gravy or poison, then the spell cannot alter that and the creature receives the proper taste of the added item. Creatures are instantly aware of this spells effect upon the rst bite and can choose to disbelieve the spells effects at any time. Material Component: A pinch of salt or other spice that is tossed in the air at the time of the casting.

Each globe explodes upon striking any hard surface, and in addition to dealing its regular electricity damage to the target, deals 1 point of splash damage per die in all adjacent squares. Creatures within the splash area that make a successful Reex save take only half the splash damage, but creatures struck directly are not allowed a saving throw against the globes primary damage. Alternatively, you can gently toss or place a globe within 5 feet of you so that it does not explode on contact. Once in place, you can cause one or more globes to detonate by speaking a command word as a standard action if you are within 200 feet. When it detonates, the globe deals its electricity damage to all targets within a 5-foot burst. Creatures in the area that make a successful Reex save take only half damage. Material Component: One amber or glass bead per globe created.

Analyse Creature
Divination (Contingent Transmutation) Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes When cast, analyse creature gives an accurate, detailed account of the target creatures physical structure, capabilities and weaknesses. While this spell cannot determine specic skills or spells known (if any), anything that is a physical characteristic of the creature is learned once the casting time is complete. This allows the caster to determine a targets creature type, subtype, natural armour bonus, base attack bonus, movement types and rates, natural weapon attacks and damage, unmodied statistics, innate extraordinary, spell-like and supernatural abilities, racial bonuses to skills and statistics, inherent weaknesses, current Hit Dice and hit points. This spell does not reveal any abilities or statistical changes brought about by active spells, equipment, magic items or other external effects. It does not reveal whether a given piece of information is a common trait of the creatures race or something specic to the target. Analyse creature does not work on animated objects, constructs or undead, nor will it work on a creature that is dead.

Amber Globes
Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 0 ft. Effect: One or more globes of electricity energy Duration: 10 minutes/level or until expended Saving Throw: None or Reex half Spell Resistance: Yes You create up to ve globes of electricity energy about the size of acorns, which can be hurled at targets by you or another creature, or can be detonated on command. Together, the globes are capable of dealing 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). A single globe cannot deal more than 4d6 points of damage, but you can otherwise divide up the damage among the globes as you wish. Each globe is a splash weapon with a range increment of 30 feet, and requires a ranged touch attack to hit. Throwing a single globe is a standard action, while throwing two or more is a full-round action that requires that all targets be within 30 feet of each other. Globes not thrown during the turn in which you cast the spell can be held for throwing in a subsequent turn, or can be handed to other characters as a standard action.

The size of target that can be analysed with this spell depends on the caster level. A caster of 3rd through 5th level can affect Medium or smaller targets, 6th through 8th level can affect Large creatures, 9th through 11th level can analyse Huge targets and a caster of 12th level and above can affect a creature of any size. Material Component: A drop of blood and a small piece (a few strands of hair, a scale or something similar) of the target to be analysed. Since the component must be handled through direct contact during spellcasting, some physical danger could result from this spell.

Animate Animal
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One Tiny animal corpse touched (base creature HD up to 1 HD/level) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell turns the bones or body of one dead animal into an undead skeleton or zombie that follows your spoken commands. This spell will only animate dead animals of Tiny size. The skeleton or zombie can follow you or can remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specic type of creature) entering the place. The undead you create remain under your control indenitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 4 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level. If you exceed this number all the newly created creatures fall under your control and any excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled. (You choose which creatures are released.) If you are a cleric, any undead you might command by virtue of your power to command or rebuke undead do not count toward the limit. Skeletons: A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones. If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the esh falls off the bones. Zombies: A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse. The corpse must be that of a creature with a true anatomy. The skeleton or zombie remains animated until it is destroyed. A destroyed skeleton or zombie cannot be reanimated again. The statistics for a sample Tiny skeleton or zombie may be found in Appendix I (see p. 241) Material Component: A small black onyx gem worth at least 10 gp must be placed into the mouth or eye socket of the corpse. The magic of the spell makes this gem worthless.

Analyse Creature, Greater


Divination (Contingent Transmutation) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Unlimited This spell functions like analyse creature, except that the information obtained is even more detailed. It informs the caster of both the creatures abilities (as noted in analyse creature) and what characteristics differ from the targets normal racial type. The other major difference is that greater analyse creature has no true range limitation except that the caster must have seen the creature before, works on dead creatures and can be used on undead (though the information it gives is for the creature as it was when it was alive). Material Component: A drop of blood and a small piece (a few strands of hair, a scale or something similar) of the target to be analysed. Since the component must be handled through direct contact during spellcasting, some physical danger could result from this spell.

Animate Crew
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Effect: Creates an undead crew for a ship Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Animate crew creates up to three skeletons or zombies per level of the caster, which serve as the crew for a ship. These animated creatures are bound to the ship they serve and cannot go further than one mile from the vessel (and then only by express command of the caster). If corpses are unavailable when the spell is cast, they crawl out of the sea as soon as they can (although if the spell is cast far away from the site of a shipwreck or naval battle, it may take the undead crew weeks to reach the ship). The undead all have a Profession (sailor) score of +5. The spell creates a wraith captain to command the ship, and the crew serve the captain. Only the captains Hit Dice counts towards the casters control limit. Material Component: The captain must be gifted with an item worth at least 100 gp per level of the caster, while the crew demand at least two gold pieces each.

The shadow creature possesses the same statistics as the caster except it has only has one-fth the hit points and knowledge (including level, class abilities, skills and vocabulary) of the caster. At all times the shadow remains under the characters absolute command. No special telepathic link exists, so command must be exercised in some other manner. The shadow has no ability to become more powerful. It cannot increase its level or abilities. If destroyed, the shadow instantly dissipates and returns to the caster. While the spell is in effect, the caster casts no shadow. Material Component: The caster must have a shadow at the time of casting the spell. XP Cost: 100 XP.

Animate Shadow
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Targets: Casters shadow Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell turns the casters shadow into a quasireal creature that follows the characters spoken commands.

The shield moves to defend you against physical attacks. You suffer no armour check penalty or arcane spell failure chance from the shield. You can use both hands freely, even to attack, but your off-hand attacks suffer a -2 circumstance penalty if you attack with multiple weapons or a two-handed weapon.

Animated Web
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Webs in a 20 ft. radius spread Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Reex negates; see text Spell Resistance: No A more powerful and versatile version of the web spell, animated web creates a many-layered mass of sticky lament that ensnares those unfortunate enough to come in contact with it. Similar to, but far larger than, a normal spiders web, these magical strands are as tough as steel and difcult to destroy. Unlike a normal web, the mass of threads created by this spell need not be anchored to anything and, in fact, works best if it is not. The peculiar magic of the spell allows the strands of the web to hover in mid air. Anyone in the effects area when the spell is cast must make a Reex save. If the save succeeds, the being is entangled, but not prevented from moving. If the save fails, the being is entangled and rendered unable to move a creature unable to move can only attempt to break loose, requiring either a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 25 Escape Artist check. A being who succeeds in avoiding becoming completely ensnared, either by succeeding at his initial Reex save or by succeeding at his Strength or Escape Artist check, remains entangled, but may move through the strands. Each round devoted to movement requires another Strength or Escape Artist check against a DC of 10, with the creature only able to move 5 feet for each full 5 points by which the check succeeds. The versatility of the animated web spell comes from its ability to stretch and move, albeit slowly. Each round, the caster can cause the web to move up to 10 feet in any direction as a free action, allowing him to engulf the unwary. In addition, the caster can deform and twist the radius of the web as he sees t, causing it to become a line or wall. If, during its movement, the web engulfs a target, that being must immediately attempt a Reex save as though he had been caught in the spells initial radius. Any beings that are already entangled within the web are normally carried along when it moves, though their relative position within the web is not changed, unless its dimensions are radically changed. If the caster wishes, he can alter the web to release the trapped creature, or if the trapped

being succeeds at a Strength or Escape Artist check against a DC of 25 (if fully entangled) or 10 (if only partially entangled, as above) he can hold his position successfully, causing the strands to tear around him and allowing him to move either 5 feet or 5 feet per full 5 points above the check DC, respectively. As with a standard web spell, a creature with at least 5 feet of webbing between itself and an opponent is considered to be under cover. Likewise, a being protected by 20 feet of webbing gains total cover (see PHB). The strands of an animated web spell are ammable, meaning a aming sword can part them as a hand parts cobwebs. Any re, whether it be from a torch or from a reball, sets the webbing alight and burns away a 5-foot section each round. Those caught within the burning area suffer 2d4 points of re damage. Unlike the strands of a normal web, an animated web cannot be made permanent, save by means of a spell comparable in power to a miracle or wish.

Necromancy [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 0 ft. Area: 30 ft. radius spread Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will (negates) Spell Resistance: Yes Through the use of this spell, you harness the very essence of negative energy present in your surroundings, calling it to you, magnifying its power and then sending great waves of destructive power radiating away from you. The natural world itself recoils from the use of such magic, with plant life wilting under the wave of negative energy and small animals eeing desperately before being drained into lifeless husks. Use of this spell will automatically destroy all plant life and Tiny animals of under 1 HD within the area of effect. In addition, roll 1d6 per caster level and total the result (maximum 15d6). Any creature with hit points below this score must make a Will save or be automatically slain. This spell does not affect undead creatures, or the caster.

Anywhere Door
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: Six hours Range: See text Effect: A one-way magical doorway Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell creates a doorway through which you view another location. The doorway is a 5-foot-by-8-foot, one-way magical hole that allows you or anyone else to step into the desired location. You cannot choose or change the position, orientation or angle of the doorway. Any spell that protects an area from teleportation or scrying also prevents an anywhere door from opening into it. Any creature in the destination location with an Intelligence of 12 or higher cannotice the doorway by making a Spellcraft skill check (or Intelligence check) against DC 20. Even if the doorway is noticed, however, it remains one-way and the creature cannot look or step in he merely knows it is there. When creating the doorway, choose a place known to you that the doorway leads toa place you have been or have had described to you. It can even be on another plane. To determine if the doorway appears where you want it to, roll on the table below: Familiarity: Very familiar refers to a place where

you have been very often and where you feel at home. Studied carefully is a place you know well, either because you have been there often or because you have used other means (such as scry) to study the place. Seen casually is a place you have seen more than once but with which you are not very familiar. Viewed once is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic. Description is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone elses description, perhaps even from a precise map. False destination is a place that doesnt exist, such as if you have mistranslated an ancient tome and tried to step into a nonexistent treasure vault that you believe you read about, or if a traitorous guide has carefully described an enemys sanctum to you wholly inaccurately. When looking into to a false destination, roll 1d20+80 to obtain results on the table, rather than rolling percentile dice, since there is no real location for you to hope to see or even be off target from. * On Target: The doorway opens into the place you want. Off Target: The doorway opens into a location a random distance away from the desired location in a random direction. Distance off target measures 1d10 x 1d10 percent of the distance between you and the original location. If the door goes to another plane, the off-target location is another plane. Similar Area: The doorway opens into a location that is visually or thematically similar to the target area. Generally, you step into the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, you could conceivably step somewhere else across the globe. * Mishap: The doorways energy explodes around you, dealing 3d6 points of damage to you and all within 10 feet of you. Material Component: A 5-foot-by-8foot pane of quality glass with a silver frame, worth at least 5,000 gp

Apportation

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

Duration: 24 hours or until discharged. Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: No This spell is usually cast when you prepare your spells or when you regain your spells, depending on your manner of magical recovery. The target of apportation is any object weighing less than two pounds per caster level that you can physically hold and carry. This target does not have to be of any special quality, but it does need to bear a special symbol placed by you through the use of arcane mark. A magical item can be used as the target if desired. At any time within 24 hours, you can speak a single word and the object instantly teleports from its location to your hand(s). This is an immediate action and can be done even on another beings turn as long as you are not at-footed. The object can be anywhere within 1 mile per caster level and be summoned with apportation. If the object is outside this distance, the word fails but the spell is not lost. While this spell is hanging, it counts as a used spell slot or cast spell. If the slot is replaced or refreshed in any way, the apportation is lost and must be recast. As with most hanging spells, the true casting time for apportation is one minute and it is ruined and lost if there are any interruptions during its casting.

A successful Fortitude save halves damage (to a minimum of one hit point of damage) for a single round but does not provide the creature with further immunity. A new save must be made each round a target is in the area of effect, regardless of how briey. When the spell expires, the spikes on the interior of the armour disappear and the armour may be worn normally. Material Components: A steel spike wrapped in jagged golden wire (value 250 gp).

Assassins Coin
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Asn 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One gold or platinum coin Duration: Permanent (until discharged) (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) Take a coin from a payment and cast this spell upon it. Return it to the person who paid you the money. When they wish to contact you, they must throw the coin into the air and call out the name you gave them. The coin vanishes and reappears in your pocket, giving you a brief mental image of the person who wishes your services. No message may be conveyed by this spell. Any individual may have only one of these coins from the same caster in their possession. Material Component: The material component is the coin, which returns to the caster when used.

Armour Crypt
Transformation Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Mobile Emanation (20 ft. area) Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: No Creatures caught in this spells area of effect suffer continuing damage as their armour sprouts spikes on its interior. At the end of each round a target is in the area of effect, he suffers one hit point of damage per point of Armour Class that is provided from worn armour. Magical bonuses to Armour Class do not count, only the physical Armour Class of the original object is used to determine damage sustained. Thus, a suit of padded armour causes one point of damage per round while a suit of banded mail causes six hit points of damage each turn, regardless of any enchantments on either suit of armour. Note that Armour Class provided by shields does not contribute to this total for purposes of calculating damage.

Assassins Mark
Transmutation [Evil] Level: Asn 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: A body slain by your own hand Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) Cast this spell on a victim. The wound from your death blow (or another of your choice) instantly reshapes into a mark, tattoo or symbol of your choice. It is automatically identied as your mark. When you rst learn this spell, you select the mark it creates.

and preparing and then, when he is ready, he may act without any perceivable delay. Under the inuence of this spell, the caster receives two benets. Casting this spell xes the chronomancers initiative. In the following round, the character acts on whatever initiative this spell was cast, immaterial of any actions on his part that would normally change his initiative. The spell switch fate still functions on the spellcaster, though it switches with this xed initiative. Additionally, the spellcaster may delay his actions in a round for as long as he wishes and never forfeit those actions. This spell gives the caster time to prepare and plan. He may observe all the actions of his opponent before acting and he has time to consider what to do if he waits until everyone else has acted. This spell does not mean the Games Master must stop the game while the player plans but he should give the player a few minutes if he is willing to let everyone else act rst.

Aura of Degeneration
Transmutation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round per level (D) You surround yourself with a destructive eld of transmutation energy that seeks to break down any material object that contacts your body after this spell is cast. The aura is a ickering white eld of energy and is quite visible, even shedding light out to a radius of 10 feet. You may dismiss the aura at any time, but you cannot choose to have it affect certain objects and ignore others while it is active. Anything non-living that makes contact with you such as a weapon, an arrow or other material object suffers 2 hit points per caster level in the same manner as a sunder attempt. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the objects wielder. You may use this aura offensively by attacking objects directly, but this will provoke an attack of opportunity if you do not possess the Improved Sunder feat. Magical items and weapons may make a Fortitude save for half damage, even if they are unattended. Hardness may negate part or all of the auras damage as normal. If a weapon is destroyed by the aura, the damage it would have dealt you is reduced to half and treated as nonlethal. If a trap or a spell relies on physical objects (like a spike trap or a web spell) and the auras damage destroys them, its damage is similarly reduced and any secondary effects like entangling do not apply. A weapon that survives its contact with the aura does not have its damage lessened in any way. When the aura ends, any damage it has dealt is permanent and remains.

Awaken Element
Transmutation [see text] Level: Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: 5 ft. cube of an element Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None (Object) Spell Resistance: No You give an element human-like sentience. You target a volume of air, earth, re or water no bigger than a 5-foot cube per four caster levels, and it awakens as if becoming an elemental. It has all the statistics of an elemental of Small size for its element type, except that its Intelligence score is 3d6 and it can speak Common. The creature is friendly towards you and, although it is not bound to you, will perform any reasonable task you ask of it until the spells duration ends and it collapses or disperses back into its material. An intelligent element remembers what happened around it for one week per caster level before it was awakened and can answer questions about that. When you use this spell to awaken an air, earth, re or water creature, it is a spell of that type. For example, awaken element is a re spell when cast to awaken a re elemental. Material Component: A stful of crushed crystal powder.

To succeed, you must make a Will save (DC 10 + your current level). The awakened spellbook is

Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: One small sack touched Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You imbue a small sack with a minor trap. Any person who sticks a hand inside the bag without rst speaking the command word triggers the spell. The victim must make a Will save or be shrunk down to a height of one inch and be teleported into the sack. Non-living beings such as undead or constructs do not trigger the spell. The caster is notied as soon as a creature has triggered the spell, as long as he and the sack are on the same plane. The sack will not allow a victim out until it is opened by the spellcaster, who may choose to release the victim or not. The caught creature cannot use spells, weapons or psionics to damage the sack or leave the sack in any way, with the exception of a plane shift or similar magic. A dispel magic or a successful Escape Artist check (DC 30) allows a creature to escape. A released creature teleports to just outside the sack and is returned to full size. A spellcaster may only have one active bandersnatch at any given time.

friendly toward you. You have no special empathy or connection with the spellbook you awaken, although it serves you in specic tasks or endeavours if you communicate your desires to it. An awakened spellbook has characteristics as if it were an intelligent item. It also gains the ability to move its pages and propel itself across the ground at a base movement speed of 5 feet. It possesses language and senses similar to a humans senses. An awakened spellbook can speak one language you know plus one additional language that you know per point of Intelligence (if any). An awakened spellbook gains 3d6 Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores as well as an additional 2d6 hit points. Awakened spellbooks have distinctive personalities of their own. These personalities can reect the personality of the caster, spells contained within or can be completely random. Some example personalities include: cautious, crazy, curious, helpful, ornery, passionate, philosophical or sarcastic. XP Cost: 250 XP

Become Swarm
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) The caster assumes the form of a writhing mass of Tiny spiders, the better to swarm over his foes, make a quick escape or pick your way through cracks and crevasses. The swarm occupies the same space as the caster, a 5 foot square if Medium, 10 foot if Large and so on. The casters body is composed of 100 Tiny spiders per caster level, to a maximum of 2,000 Tiny spiders at 20th level. They cannot reduce the size of their swarm body, though they can scurry through cracks or holes large enough for the component spiders. In swarm form, the caster can move through enemy occupied squares without impediment, though you suffer an attack of opportunity as normal when doing so.

Bandersnatch
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

While in swarm form, the caster cannot be grappled, cannot cast spells with verbal or material components and cannot wield equipment of any sort though it is transformed along with them. The caster gains damage reduction equal to his caster level, though it is bypassed by blunt magical attacks (so a 10th level caster gains damage reduction 10/magic and bludgeoning). As a swarm, the caster cannot make standard melee attacks. Instead, they attack by moving into enemy occupied squares, provoking attacks of opportunity as normal when doing so. They deal automatic damage to any creature whose space they occupy at the end of the casters move, with no attack roll needed. Their attacks are not subject to miss chances for cover or concealment. The amount of damage the casters swarm attack deals is dependent on their caster level, as outlined below: Caster Level 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 Swarm Damage 1d6 2d6 3d6 4d6

As the caster suffers damage, his swarm body begins to thin, though it does not shrink in size. When the spells duration ends, or when he is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, he reverts to his normal form. If the caster is slain in swarm form he returns to his normal body. Material Component: A sack of 100 spiders legs, which must be scattered across the ground at the time of casting.

Bewildering Aura
Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action. Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature or object. Area: 10 ft. radius sphere around the creature or object targeted. Duration: 1 minute/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This pattern creates a bewildering aura of light, sound, heat and smell around the target of the spell. All creatures that enter the area are subject to the following effects according to their HD: * Up to 3: Stunned for 3d4 rounds, dazed for 2d4 rounds and then confused for 1d4 rounds. 4-6: Stunned for 2d4 rounds, dazed for 1d4 rounds and then confused for 1 round. 7-9: Stunned for 1d4 rounds, dazed for 1 round. 10 or more: No effect.

As a swarm, the caster does not threaten those within his square and cannot make attacks of opportunity with his swarm attack. However, he does distract any creature that occupies his square, so long as he is normally capable of damaging them (meaning they are not incorporeal or the like). Each round they remain within the swarm, they must attempt a Fortitude save against a DC equal to 10 + one half the casters level + casters Constitution modier; if they fail, they are nauseated for the round. Spellcasters within the swarm body must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to successfully cast their spells. Likewise, skills which require patience and concentration require Concentration checks against DC 20 + spell level. In swarm form, the caster does not have a discernible front or back and no discernible anatomy, so is not subject to either anking or critical hits. The caster takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons, but suffers a -4 save to all spells or effects which affect an area, such as splash weapons and many Evocation spells.

* *

Note that this spell can affect the same creature more than once, but only if they are not currently not under any of the effects of the spell and are within 10 ft. of the targeted creature. Once the spell affects, or attempts to affect, 30 HD of creatures it is discharged. The target of the spell is not affected by the spell. Material component: A kaleidoscope.

Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Varies (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Similar to thralls understanding, this spell can be cast at any point during the charm effect. In addition to the effects of the understanding, beyond words allows the caster to communicate mentally with the target as a free action during its duration. Once cast, the target can travel any distance from the caster and still remain affected by the initial charm effect, regardless of the range limitations of the original spell. Material Component: A polished, engraved and faceted amethyst worth 100 gp.

however, and the creatures summoned only appear for a single round instead of the spells normal duration. During that time, the effects below occur. The summoned creatures are motionless and do nothing during this round, disappearing without further effect if they are attacked or the bind fails. The summoned target of the bind guardian I spell must make an opposed Will saving throw against you or be bound to your service in much the same way as an animal companion. If the spell tries to bind multiple creatures, they receive a single saving throw; failure binds them all. A willing subject may voluntary fail this save, but targets are generally hostile to the idea of remaining permanently with you. You can only have twice your arcane caster level in Hit Dice worth of guardians at one time. If the spell affects multiple creatures from one casting of bind guardian I and any are slain thereafter, the survivors must all be released before replacements can be bound. An additional limitation of this spell is that while you have bound guardians, you cannot prepare or cast the summon monster spell used to summon them until they are released. At the casters option, the guardians can be assigned (at the time of binding) to another individual, but they still count towards your total number of Hit Dice available and the decision cannot later be changed without releasing them rst. XP Cost: 100 XP.

Bind Crew
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-affecting] Level: Clr 6, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100-ft. + 10-ft./level) Target: One crew, numbering no more than six creatures per level of the caster Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell affects the entire crew of a ship, but all are permitted to make individual Will saves to resist the spell. Those bound are unable to leave the ship for the duration of the spell. They may act normally, but cannot move beyond the connes of the ship. They can climb to the top of the rigging, descend into the bowels of the ship, shoot harpoons at the caster or whatever they choose, as long as they do not leave the ship. The spell will even hold the crew if the ship sinks. Focus: A tiny anchor.

Bite of the Seductress


Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes With the casting of this spell, the caster enchants a living being with a successful melee attack, so that they temporarily fall slavishly in love with him. In order for this spell to take effect, the caster must deal actual damage upon them with an unarmed attack; meaning creatures which cannot be damaged by unarmed attacks cannot be affected by this spell. Those who fail their Will save to resist the spell become slavishly devoted to the caster, willingly obeying commands and inging themselves into harms way for the casters benet. This does not mean that they will obey his commands as though they were an automaton, but they will not hesitate to attack any foe that threatens their paramour, no matter how powerful. Unlike a charm person spell, obviously threatening actions by the caster do not instantly break the spell, though lethal attacks grant them a new save to resist the bites effect. The caster must speak the victims language in order to communicate commands. Material Components: A small braided whip.

Half the damage is electricity damage, but the rest is evil energy from the lower planes that is not affected by resistance to electricity (evil creatures, creatures native to evil planes, and creatures immune to death effects are not affected by the profane energy).

With this spell, even a small pinprick can cause a subject to bleed to death as the wound resists all attempts to halt the ow of blood. A ranged touch attack must be made against the subject. If successful, the subject will lose one extra hit point every time it takes damage from any source, each round, for the duration of the spell. This effect does not apply to nonlethal damage. Stopping this bleeding requires the application of any magical healing or a Heal check at DC 15. This spell has no effect on undead, constructs, animated objects or outsiders.

Divination [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The name of this spell can be misleading but it gives some idea of what the spell is commonly used for by less reputable casters. Bliss probes the memories of a single creature, allowing it to relive, in complete detail, a time in its life. This period can be up to one hour in length and from any time in the creatures life. The caster may either specify the time exactly or allow the target to experience any moment in his life he desires. If the target is given free rein, it must succeed at a Wisdom check (DC 10) or be sent to an emotional moment in its life it did not choose. The creature is likely to be sent to a time it regrets or memories it tries to avoid consciously. If the creature lacks memory of the event, it will nd complete clarity with the casting of this spell. If the creature is dealt damage in its memory, it must succeed at a Will save or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage for every source of damage it experiences. Bliss can be used as a drug, a means of restoring lost memory or helping a person to overcome tragic loss. It can also be used as a method of torture, without actually injuring the target.

You cause the blood of one creature to suddenly coagulate and harden into spikes, which then thrust out of the creatures esh. This eruption deals 3d6 points of damage on the subject. If the creature survives, it can then use the spikes as weapons for the duration of the spell. The spikes add 1d6 points of damage to any grapple or unarmed attack the subject makes.

Bloodbane
Abjuration (Contingent - Necromancy) Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You or creature touched Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes When cast, bloodbane makes the circulatory system and uids in the body glow faintly with a crimson light. This cannot normally be seen, though the recipients eyes icker red in dim light. Other than that, there is no visible effect of this spell while it is in effect. Bloodbane bolsters your blood and protects you from any alterations, changes or interference. This makes you immune to wounding effects, negates poisons that deal Constitution or Strength damage and prevents you from being polymorphed into any form outside your own type. While in effect, you automatically stabilise if brought below zero hit points and you regenerate as if wearing the ring of the same name. Creatures that attack by draining or drinking your blood cannot do so effectively, dealing only what hit point damage is normally associated with such an attack. Material Component: A single drop of blood from an animal, beast or humanoid with a 16 or higher Constitution.

Through this spell, the caster is able to spray his blood in a aming stream to strike one target. The material component of this spell is the casters own blood, which is spilled in copious quantities. When the spell is cast, the caster determines how much Constitution damage he is willing to suffer. For 1 point of temporary ability damage, the spell causes 1d6 hit points of damage to the target per level of the caster and for 2 points, the spell causes 1d8 hit points of damage per level of the caster. This spell may cause no more than 15 dice of damage in either case. For every point of Constitution damage after the second the character voluntarily suffers when casting this spell, he may add one of the following to the spells effect: * * * Increase the save DC by 2. Lessens elemental resistance by 5. Change the descriptor to one of the following: acid, cold, electricity, force, or sonic.

Each of the above may be selected more than once provided the Constitution cost is paid for separately each time. The Constitution damage heals at the rate of one point per hour and this cannot be magically increased. Material Component: The casters blood.

Blowback
Abjuration (Sonic) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Spiral, 20 ft. long/level Duration: Based on spiral length, above Saving Throw: See below Spell Resistance: Yes A spiral wall of shrieking power whips out from the target location, throwing any non-prone creature caught in its area of effect or that attempts to cross its area of effect 1d6 x 10 feet in a random direction. There is no saving throw to prevent this, except for creatures that have seen the spell in action before who may choose to make a Reex save to throw themselves prone for the duration of the spell, if desired. To determine the direction a creature is thrown, consult the Missing with a Thrown Weapon diagram in the PHB. Creatures thrown in this way suffer 1d8 hit points of damage per 10 feet thrown, unless they are thrown into a wall or other immovable object in which case they suffer 2d6 hit points of damage per 10 feet thrown. If a creature is thrown into another creature, both suffer damage as if they had been thrown the same distance as the creature actually thrown. Any creatures affected by this spell must also make a Fortitude save on landing or fall prone, stunned for 1d3 rounds. Even those who succeed at the save will be prone on landing, and may be advised to stay there, as the spell will not affect those who are prone. Flying creatures caught by this spell, or who cross through the spells area of effect, are allowed a Reex save to avoid striking the ground. If successful, they suffer 1d6 hit points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet they are thrown. They must then spend one round regaining their balance before they can begin ying normally. Creatures knocked unconscious by nonlethal damage fall to the earth and suffer normal damage upon impact. Material Component: A bar of pure copper wrapped in rubber worth at least 400 gp.

Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell resistance: Yes With this spell, the caster causes the subject to suffer from blurred vision. A creature with blurred vision suffers a 20% miss chance on all melee attacks and a 50% miss chance on all ranged attacks.

Body of Fire
Transmutation [Fire] Level: Drd 8, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 minute/level You transform your body into elemental re. You gain the elemental type (including immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, critical hits, and anking), the Fire subtype (including re immunity and cold vulnerability) and damage reduction 10/. Anyone whom you touch, or who touches you, suffers 1d4 points of re damage. Flammable objects ignite at your touch, though equipment you wear or carry when initiating the transformation is unaffected. You are considered armed when striking with this burning touch, and threaten your area even when unarmed. Your spellcasting abilities are unaffected. Material Component: Ash from a deceased creature with the Fire subtype.

Bolt of Ghostslaying
Necromancy Level: Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes The caster forms a deadly bolt of blue energy in the air and sends it toward his target, which must be an incorporeal being. This bolt will only harm an incorporeal being, which includes any creature or character under inuence of a spell making him incorporeal. The caster must succeed at a ranged touch attack to strike his target; if successful, the bolt deals 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (max 5d6).

Bolster Familiar
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Your familiar Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Bolster familiar grants the familiar +1 temporary hit points/caster level and grants them a +1 to all attack rolls and saving throws.

Bond Transferral
Universal Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 8 hours Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One willing creature and your familiar Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell bonds the casters familiar to a creature of the casters choice. The familiar still uses its previous masters effective class level when determining special abilities, however, it is reduced by two levels. Note that the familiars effective class level is not affected by an increase in its former master after the point at which it is bound to a new master and that the former master and familiar no longer gain any boon or doom from each other. The familiar still counts against its former masters number of familiars that can be summoned and thus their effective master level. This is only applicable if the caster has the Extra Familiar feat. In all other respects, the familiar and its new master are treated as normal master and familiar. The new master gains all the boons of having a familiar of its type, the familiar is infused with all the special abilities and attributes appropriate to its adjusted master level. They also both suffer from the dooms that come about from bonding with each other. Also, the familiar counts against its new masters number of familiars that can be summoned and thus their effective master level; this is only applicable if the new master has the Extra Familiar feat. If at some future point the new masters effective class level rises above the familiars former master, the new master may take over the maintenance of the familiar and the

familiar then uses his new masters effective master level to determine abilities. Material Component: 100 gold pieces worth of diamond dust or some other precious material per effective class level with its new master, minimum of 100 gp. XP Cost: The maximum experience loss that comes from dismissing a familiar (200 XP per class level).

Bonded Souls
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Special (D) Saving Throw: None (see below) Spell Resistance: Yes This powerful spell binds a creature affected by one of your Enchantment (Charm) spells to you in much the same way as a familiar.

affecting spells, this spell ends when the charmdesignator spell does. Neither of you gain any special abilities from this bond, but the link does transmit touch-ranged spells and personal-affecting spells as the similar familiar powers. A second effect of this bond is also its most powerful. If the caster dies while the bond is in effect or within one hour of its being broken, the subject must make a Will save or be slain instantly. If the subject kills the caster personally, there is no Will save allowed.

normal arm, and gives the caster a secondary attack; this arm has Strength 13 regardless of the casters normal strength. Focus: A lot of bones (5 pounds).

Bones of Steel
Necromancy (Contingent Transmutation) Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Targets: One or more skeletons touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell greatly strengthens the bones of animated skeletons, literally making them as hard as steel and able to resist far greater amounts of damage. You may only strengthen the bones in 2 HD of skeletons per caster level. Casting bones of steel on a skeleton will grant it a damage reduction 10/-, effectively transforming its bones into steel. Additionally, the skeletons resistances to energy attacks are handled as though the creature were now an object as detailed in the PHB. Material Component: Any portion of metal armour that has been buried with its deceased wearer.

Bonded Thoughts
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Special (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes This spell must be cast on the next turn after affecting a creature with an Enchantment (charm) spell. Bonded thoughts has a duration equal to the charm spell in question, ending immediately when the latter does. The caster can initiate telepathic contact over any distance at any time with a subject of this spell. The subject can also initiate this contact, but the caster can block communication if desired. This bond allows the caster to give commands without needing a common language. If the charm-designator spell already allows this ability, the enhanced bond enhances the original charm spell as if the caster were +2 caster levels (possibly increasing the duration and range, and so on).

Break Ships Enchantments


Abjuration Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One ship Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No This spell attempts to free the ship of any malicious enchantments, transmutations or curses. It only affects spells that target a single ship or crew. Like break enchantment, it can even counter instantaneous effects. For each spell or effect on the vessel or crew, the caster of break ships enchantments must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level, maximum of +15) against a DC of 11 + caster level of the effect. Success means the ship is freed of the malicious effect. If the spell is one that cannot be countered by dispel magic, break ships enchantments works only

Bonearm Animation
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 min/level When this spell is cast, bones begin to assemble and ends by looking much like a bony arm with bony ngers. They are bound together by a strange undead force, with 20 hp and a hardness of 10. This bonearm becomes a part of the caster, protruding from his back, stomach or anywhere the caster wants to attach it. For as long as the duration of this spell the caster has an extra bonearm which can be used just like a

if that spell is 5th level or lower. If the effect comes from a permanently cursed magic item, break ships enchantments does not remove the curse from the item, but does free the ship from the effect and allows the item to be removed. This spell can also be used to dispel a single spell or effect affecting a ship, such as shield vessel or a magically propelled vessels engine. This functions like a targeted dispel magic, but the maximum caster level bonus is +15.

corresponding to the breath type being used. The blood is mixed with another component appropriate to the breath type: oil for re, acid for acid, a frozen liquid for cold, liquid chlorine for corrosive gas and melted copper for electricity. This mixture is drunk on casting, causing the caster to lose one hit point (no save) for every die of damage dealt by the spell.

Breeze
Evocation [Air] Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Effect: A cone shaped gentle gust of wind emanating out from you to the extreme of the range. Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes You create a gentle breeze to blow continuously over an area as far as 30 feet away from you. The breeze is cool and pleasant, giving a +1 morale bonus to any Fortitude save against hot weather. It does not help in extreme heat conditions, like those found in a volcanic crater or the Elemental Plane of Fire. It can also be used to dry humid or drenched objects like scrolls and clothing, or to y a kite.

Breath of the Wyrm


Evocation [Varies] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. for cone or 120 ft. for line Area: Cone or Line Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance Yes Breath of the wyrm allows the caster to spew forth a breath attack similar in nature to that of a dragons breath weapon. There are ve different forms of the spell, though the wizard need prepare the spell only once and choose the variety of breath attack at the time of casting. Each form requires different material components to successfully cast, while none of the versions require somatic components of any sort. A character under the effect of a breath of the wyrm spell may breathe a cone of re, cold or corrosive gas or a stream of acid or lightning. The attack deals 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d6) to all creatures within the attacks area of effect. Note that the caster need not expel the entire attack at once; a 10th level character could, for example, breathe two 5d6 cones of re or one 10d6 cone or ve 2d6 cones. If a round passes with no attack, however, the remainder of the spells effect is lost. Material Components: The material component of the spell is a small amount of dragons blood

Bubble Goop
Evocation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: One or more bubbles Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex negates Spell Resistance: Yes Bubble goop allows you to breathe forth one bubble per two caster levels (maximum 6 bubbles at 12th level) that quickly oat toward a designated target. When a bubble contacts a solid surface or creature, it pops and releases sticky goo that quickly covers a 5-foot area or a creature (a creature can attempt a Reex save to avoid the goo). One bubble can cover a Medium or smaller creature. For every size category larger than Medium, one additional bubble is required to cover a creature. If you release multiple bubbles, you can direct them to strike a single creature or several creatures. A creature covered with goo takes a 2 penalty on attack rolls, a 4 penalty to Dexterity and it can move

only at half speed. A ying creature must make a second Reex save or be unable to y, assuming it uses its wings to y) and fall to the ground. This spell does not function underwater. Multiple bubbles that hit a single creature do not increase the penalty on attack rolls or the penalty to Dexterity. A creature can break free by dealing damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. The goo has 10 hit points. For every additional bubble that strikes a foe, increase the goos hit points by +3. A creature trying to scrape off goo does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including ying) at normal speed. A character capable of spellcasting who is bound by the goo must make a DC 15 Concentration check to cast a spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 1 minute, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent dissolves the goo immediately. Material Component: A bit of tree sap that must be consumed during the casting. Alternately, you can substitute a piece of esh from a mimic. The esh is consumed during the casting.

Material Components: Five humanoid ngers stripped of esh and muscle. The individual nger bones must then be tied together with black thread.

Cacophony
Transmutation [Chaos, Sonic] Level: Brd 3, Clr 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) (see text) Area: Emanation centred on the caster extending to range Duration: 1 minute Saving Throw: Fortitude partial Spell Resistance: Yes Cacophony lls the area of effect with extremely loud wailing, banging, singing, whistling and other sounds. The noise created is sufcient to be heard at long range (400 ft. + 40 ft./level), but those within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) suffer several negative effects. The noise is loud enough to mask all other sounds; all creatures within the area of effect are effectively deafened for the duration of the spell. Creatures in the area of effect when it is cast, or who enter the spells area of effect while the spell is active, must make a Fortitude Save or be dazed for 1d6 rounds. Characters that succeed at this saving throw are immune to any further negative effects from the cacophony spell for 24 hours. Spell casting and the use of spell-like abilities requires a Concentration check at a DC equal to the save DC of the spell plus the level of the spell to be cast. Cacophony ignores silence spells and effects of 2nd level or lower.

Burrowing Bony Digits


Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: Up to ve creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart Duration: See text Saving Throw: Reex partial Spell Resistance: Yes By means of this endish spell, you cause up to ve skeletal ngers to streak forth and imbed themselves in the esh of the targets. Each digit deals 1d6 points of damage upon striking its target. They do not stop there, though. Any creature that failed its Reex save was unable to extract the bony digit before it could lodge itself into the wound. The bony digit continues to penetrate the creatures body for one round for every 3 levels of the caster, dealing 1d6 damage per round. Once the bony digit is lodged in the wound, it cannot be extracted. A creature can only be targeted by one nger at a time.

Calcifying Caress
Transmutation [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Huge or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round per 4/levels (see text) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

Calcifying caress imparts a form of stone to esh, and has the same effect on a target who fails his save against its effect. Unlike the latter spell, calcifying caress can be dispelled normally and can be reversed with a remove curse; any dispel effect, or another touch by anyone using this spell at your caster level or greater. Any effect that would free someone from a petried condition will also sufce. Until freed, petried victims of this spell remain in that state for one day per caster level. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: Your victims remain turned to stone indenitely.

Call Energy
Conjuration (Creation) [Variable] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 feet + 5 ft./level) Area: 20-ft. burst Duration: 1 round per level Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: No (See below) As call darkness, except the burst created is a roiling mass of pure energy of the descriptor type chosen at the time of casting. Like the darkness effect, this burst blocks line of sight. You can choose re, acid, sonic, cold or electricity; the sphere deals 1d6 for every two caster levels (maximum 10d6) of the chosen energy type to any target within the burst each round. You can also choose to centre the spell on a target as noted in call darkness. Material Components: A gem worth 100 gp and twoinch square of silk of a colour appropriate to the type of energy called. This can be red, yellow or orange for re, white or blue for cold, green for acid, clear or grey for sonic or purple for lightning. The Games Master may assign other colours at his discretion.

Call Darkness
Conjuration (Creation) [Darkness] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20-ft. burst Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: No (See below) You open a momentary gate to the Plane of Shadow and Negative Energy Plane, bringing forth a billowing sphere of darkness at the desired point in range. This darkness is also extremely cold and drains some of the life of anyone caught inside it. The burst created by this spell obstructs the line of sight and cannot be seen through, even with darkvision. Anyone who succeeds at a Fortitude save only suffers half of the effects below and is immediately moved to the nearest edge of the darkness burst. Those caught in the spells effect suffers 1d6 hit points of cold damage per 2 levels (maximum 10d6) and 2 points of Constitution damage for each round spent in the area of effect. If the spell is centred on a specic target, he gets no initial Fortitude save at all and must suffer the normal spell effect for the rst round. In this case, spell resistance does apply and, if successful, the call darkness is negated without manifesting at all. Material Components: A black gem worth at least 100 gold pieces and a two-inch square of black silk.

Call Lesser Demon


Conjuration (Calling) Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One summoned demon of up to 5 HD Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes By casting this spell, you summon a lesser demon of 5 HD or less. You do not need to have the same or general alignment as the demon summoned. This spell was specically created by a powerful demon prince and allowed to pass into the hands of mortal spellcasters to summon demons of corruption so they might corrupt the caster and turn him toward chaos and evil. Good-aligned creatures can employ this spell if desired. The target creature gets a Will save. If the save succeeds, the creature resists the spell. If the save fails, the creature is immediately drawn to your location. A demon subjected to this spell receives a penalty to its save or spell resistance roll based on the alignment of the caster and how far away from chaotic evil the

caster is. For each step that the caster is removed from chaos (on the law-chaos axis), the demon receives a 1 penalty to its save and spell resistance roll. For each step that the caster is removed from evil (on the goodevil axis), the demon receives a -1 to its save and spell resistance roll. These penalties stack. Thus, a demon summoned by a neutral evil caster receives a 1 penalty to its save and spell resistance roll (neutral is one step removed from chaos on the law-chaos axis), while a demon summoned by a lawful good caster receives a 4 penalty to its save and spell resistance roll (-2 for lawful and -2 for good). You may ask the demon to perform one task for you, and the demon may ask for some service in return. The more demanding the task requested, the greater the return favour asked by the summoned demon. This bargaining takes at least 1 round, so any actions by the demon begin the round after it arrives. If the character agrees to the service, the demon performs the task the character requested, reports back to the character afterward (if possible) and returns to its home plane. The character is honour bound to perform the return favour. If the return favour is not completed as promised, the summoner is visited by an appropriate number of demons to slay him and take his soul.

Material Component: A single gold piece. XP Cost: 100 XP

Call Radiance
Conjuration (Creation, Light) Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20-foot burst Duration: 1 round per level Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: No (See below) As call darkness, except the sphere of brilliant light created by the spell is a blinding are that lingers and ares for the spells entire duration. Those caught in the area of effect suffer 1d6 per 2 caster levels (maximum 5d6) and must make a Fortitude save or be dazzled for ten rounds. Success at this save reduces the dazzle effect to one round. As with call darkness, you can centre its effect on one target. If you do, that target must make an additional Fortitude save. Failing this save blinds the target for one hour while his eyes recover. Of course, the blind and dazzle effects do not function on beings without eyes. Material Components: An opal or pearl worth 100 gp and a two-inch square of pure white silk.

Call Loyal Servant


Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Clr 7, Drd 7, Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One summoned creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No By tapping into the citys collective consciousness, you summon a human with up to 5 total levels in classes of your choice. Your DM creates the character as normal, though you select any prepared spells, feats, skills and other aspects of the character aside from his ability scores. In addition, the NPC arrives with 1,000 gp worth of equipment chosen by the DM. The character speaks a language you possess and obeys your commands to the best of his abilities, even suicidal ones. At the end of the spells duration, the NPC and all of his equipment disappear. A person summoned with this spell is treated as a normal human with the appropriate class levels, though he is in truth the composite of the people and places the caster has visited.

Calling Card
Illusion (Figment) Level: Asn 1, Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft + 5 ft/2 levels) Effect: Creates an illusionary image Duration: 1 hour/level; each instance 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Used most often by assassins and criminals of ego and ability, this spell allows the caster to leave behind a recorded magical message for those who visit the scene of the crime. This can be something as simple as writing a signature phrase on the wall in bright red colours, or as elaborate as a full-edged replay of the culprit in the middle of committing the crime. Everybody that enters the area can see the illusion play out; if they choose to leave and re-enter, they see the spells result from the beginning. Any live persons or objects mimicked by this spell are transparent and slightly blurred, thus no roll is required to see through the illusion.

Material Component: For this spell is any item that serves as proof of an illegal deed committed in the area in question by the caster. A coin taken in a robbery, a scrap of clothing from a murder victim or a lock of hair from a rape victim are all appropriate components.

Caltrops
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Ground in a 5-ft. square Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You turn a handful of pebbles into sharp caltrops that cover an area 5 feet square. Each time a creature moves into the area covered by the caltrops (or spends a round ghting while standing in such an area), it might step on one. The caltrops make an attack roll (base attack bonus +0) against the creature. For this attack, the creatures shield, armour and deection bonuses do not count. If the creature is wearing shoes or other footwear, it gets a +2 armour bonus to AC. If the caltrops succeed on the attack, the creature has stepped on one. The caltrop deals 1 point of damage, and the creatures speed is reduced by one-half because its foot is wounded. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours, until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check or until it receives at least 1 point of magical curing. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it steps on a caltrop. Any creature moving at half speed or slower can pick its way through a bed of caltrops with no trouble. Caltrops may not be effective against unusual opponents. Material Component: A handful of pebbles.

This spell affects every creature an enchanter currently has an active Enchantment (charm) spell on. When cast, all of these creatures instantly learn of each other by name (if the caster knows it) and current appearance. From now until the charm effect wears off them, all these creatures consider each other trusted friends. The enhanced bond created by this spell allows all of the charmed beings affected by it to share any ability the caster might have to communicate with them. Lastly, beings under camaraderie ght better together, enjoying a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage while within line of sight of at least one other. Focus: A gold ring worn by the caster. This ring cannot be magical; if it is taken off, the spell ends immediately.

While searching an area slowly and carefully, you will not set off traps, although other actionssuch as stepping on a pressure platemay still activate one. Neither will you unleash curses or contract a disease when you perform a search, even of dangerous, trapped or hazardous substances.

Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Huge or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels (see text) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. Cathartic caress forces its victims to immediately transform as per the spell baleful polymorph. Victims who succumb to this spell are fully transmuted into these forms and adopt all the statistics, abilities and attributes of whatever creature you wish them to become. Memories of their former lives remain, but these fade after one day per former character level. After this time, the target becomes entirely a member of its new race. While the target retains memories of what it once was, break enchantment, remove curse or greater dispelling can return it to its previous form. After these memories fade, the change is permanent can only be undone by a wish or miracle. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: Targets only retain memories for one hour per character level and greater dispelling is ineffective at countering the caress.

Catalytic Mouth
Illusion (Glamour) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One object Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates (object) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) A catalytic mouth conforms in all respects to the 2nd level arcane spell magic mouth with one notable exception. It can speak a command phrase used to trigger another spell effect or to activate a magic item within 30 feet of the mouth. For example, a wizard could place a staff of swarming insects in a glass case in the centre of a room, and cast catalytic mouth on a nearby wall. She could set the mouth to speak the staffs command word for its summon swarm effect if anyone other than she enters the room. Material Component: A bit of honeycomb from a hive of giant bees.

Conjuration (Creation) [Evil or Good] Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20-ft. radius spread Duration: 2 rounds Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: Yes You summon up a burst of energy from the outer planes which manifests as a sudden downpour of raindrops composed of either sunlight or the innite darkness which lls the void of the heavens [either positive or negative energy, chosen at the time of casting].

downpour lasts for two rounds and deals 1d6 per two caster levels (maximum 5d6) damage each round. Undead caught in the downpour of positive energy suffer 1d6 per caster level (maximum 10d6) each round and undead which are specically harmed by sunlight suffer maximum damage automatically (Reex save for half as normal). Outsiders with the Good subtype caught in the downpour of negative energy suffer 1d6 per caster level (maximum 10d6). Since it summons energy from the cosmos itself, rather than real drops of rain, celestial teardrops can be cast indoors as easily as outdoors.

Change of Heart
Enchantment Level: Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: Special (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This incredibly potent spell inicts a permanent change on the targets alignment. If the target fails a Will save, its alignment instantly changes to match the casters alignment. Only a wish or miracle can restore the target to its former alignment and the target cannot take any action on its own to undo this effect. As soon as its alignment changes, it accepts the new outlook as natural and attempts to perform some action as immediate conrmation. For example, a re giant is affected by change of heart from a chaotic good caster. The giant is now dedicated to the concepts of personal freedom and charity. It rushes into the dungeons of its lair and frees all the prisoners, handing them all items from its treasury as an apology. Focus: A holy symbol consecrated to a deity of the casters alignment.

Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. This spell deals a totally random, chaotic polymorph effect that mutates the targets body in hideously painful ways, rendering them unable to consciously act (but not helpless) for the entire agonizing duration of the spells effect. Each creature touched that fails its Fortitude save is driven prone by painful transformations that torture its body for one round per caster level, dealing 1d4 damage each round. Because the transformations often involve the violent eruption of body spikes, extra limbs or sharp protrusions, anyone near the victim takes 2d6 damage each round they begin or end within 5 feet of the subject. The effects of this spell can be dispelled normally, but any damage suffered before the spell is countered or negated remains and must be healed normally. A victim is considered stunned for one full round after the spell ends for any reason due to pain and shock.

Only living, warm-blooded creatures are affected by this spell. Material Component: Three drops of blood from a corpse that died of cold.

Charm Person, Mass


Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V Targets: One or more creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart Duration: One day/level This spell functions like charm person, except that mass charm person affects a number of creatures whose combined HD do not exceed twice your level, or at least one creature regardless of HD. If there are more potential targets than you can affect, you choose them one at a time until you choose a creature with too many HD.

For example, a ghter using a longsword (critical 19-20/x2) would threaten a critical on an 18 or higher. Apply after applying effects such as the Improved Critical feat or Keen.

Cloaked Light
Evocation [Light] Level: Brd 3, Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Object touched Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The object that receives this spell shines with a light as bright as full daylight that emanates in a 60-foot radius. However, this illumination is only perceptible to the caster and one person he designates per caster level. Other creatures cannot see this light or gain the benets of its glow. Only the caster and the creatures he designates can see the area this spell illuminates. Other creatures need light sources of their own in order to see. The casters opponents could stand in the midst of this spell but be unable to see if their own light sources have been extinguished. Most useful of all, this spell provides light without revealing the partys location to orcs, purple worms and other subterranean creatures. Cloaked light brought into an area of magical darkness is temporarily negated. The natural lighting conditions in the area take effect where the two spells overlap. It does not dispel or counter magical darkness of any type, including spells of lower levels. Focus: A tiny, black cloak.

Combat Fluidness
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 minute/level This spell allows the caster to react quickly to the uid changes of combat, updating strategies and keeping on top of more recent changes. The caster gains a +2 bonus to Initiative for the duration of the spell. In addition, the caster is considered on guard (unable to be caught at-footed).

Command Construct
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Target: One construct Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: No This powerful spell allows the caster to take permanent control of any construct, including a golem. Doing so severs the constructs link with its old master completely. If the construct is linked to an external focus, such as an amulet or ring, that focus now only functions for its new master. Until the caster gains control of the external focus, the construct simply lies dormant wherever it was when the command construct was cast. The construct gets a Will save to resist the effects of this spell, gaining a +4 bonus if it has an external focus. If it fails, the caster becomes the constructs new master, and all previous orders are forgotten. The caster may give it new orders as a move action. Material Components: A piece of whatever material from which the construct is made, and a gem worth

Command Flotsam
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100-ft. + 10-ft./level) Target: One object/level Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Flotsam refers to oating debris left over after a shipwreck, but this spell works on any item or creature drifting on the water. The oating items are seized by an invisible force under the command of the caster. This force moves the items through the water, bringing them as close to the caster as possible. The force cannot make the items leave the water, but can drag them to the shore or close to a ship for easy collection. For the purposes of this spell, an item is about one cubic foot in size, but the caster can choose to concentrate the spells effect to drag larger objects. An item is dragged at the rate of 15 feet per round towards the caster. Creatures targeted by the spell gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Swim checks if they move towards the caster, or suffer a 2 circumstance penalty to Swim checks if they swim away from the caster. The force is not strong enough to prevent a creature from escaping.

The targets bring the protected characters to the nearest authority gure a guard affected by this spell would not bring the characters to his king, but to his commanding ofcer. The spell functions somewhat like charm person, but with much less intensity. If two gnolls are targeted with this spell and one makes his save, the other gnoll might plead with his companion to allow the caster to meet the gnoll chieftain, but would not attack or physically block the actions of the rst gnoll. One curious note is that this spell works on unintelligent creatures such as animals. A swarm of giant ants might feel compelled to bring the caster before the ant queen. The queen and the caster can stare at each other across a wide gulf of language and species before the ants shake off the spell and eat him.

Concussive Barrier
Evocation (Force) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 15 ft. spiral/level Duration: As determined by spiral (see above) Saving Throw: No (See below) Spell Resistance: Yes At the time this spell is cast, you create a spiral of invisible walls. When any creature attempts to cross one of these walls, they are immediately hurled directly backwards 1d4 x 5 feet and suffer 1d4 hit points of damage for every 5 feet of distance they are thrown back. A Reex save is required for those thrown back to land on their feet; otherwise they fall prone and drop anything they are holding. Material Component: A silver mirror (10 gp).

This spell compels those affected to bring the caster and up to six companions to the targets leader. The targets are permitted by the spell to take whatever precautions they choose, so long as they do not kill the caster or his companions. They may strip the protected characters of weapons, bind and gag a spellcaster, even target them with spells, so long as the characters are brought before the targets leader alive and given a chance to speak.

Further, at the time of striking, the bolt summons an outsider as if summon monster I had been cast. The summoned creature can act immediately upon appearing anywhere you desire within 5 feet of the target, as described in summon monster I. It remains for 1 round per caster level.

Confidante
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Varies (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes This can be cast any time while an Enchantment (charm) spell cast by you on the target creature is in effect. The target of condante treats the caster as an utterly trusted friend, telling him anything he is asked to reveal. The only limit to this newfound trust is if revealing the information would get someone else the target cares about hurt or killed. (This condition applies only if the target is aware of a real danger; suspicion of a threat to those it cares about is not enough.) In this situation he automatically resists the urge to answer the question but the spell itself is still in effect. A continuing advantage of condante is that the target will consider the caster someone to inform any time he comes into new information of interest to him. The caster will have to explain what qualies for this but, once this is established, the target will seek out the caster if at all possible whenever such information comes into his possession. The target does not become empowered with any ability to locate the caster, nor will he risk his life to gather information (unless forced to do so through other spells). One of the verbal components of this spell is a secret about the caster communicated to the target. This secret can be very simple and basic (My favourite colour is blue) but it must be true and it must be communicated

Each version of this spell must be learned and prepared individually. Conjure (rabbit) for example, must be prepared separately from conjure (unicorn). Conjure (rabbit) would then occupy a single 0-level spell slot, while conjure (unicorn) would occupy one 2nd level slot. Knowing one variant of the spell does not grant access to any other versions a wizard who learns conjure (light horse) would not automatically know conjure (solar), but would have to locate and learn the higher level version separately. The various versions of the spell are identical only in so far as they share similar mechanics otherwise, they are treated as entirely different spells. The spells level is always the specied creatures CR. Versions that conjure creatures of CR 1 or less are always 0th level. This spell causes creatures to appear in exactly the same manner as the summon monster and summon

Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 day/level, until discharged (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This powerful, protective spell is similar in effect to the contingency spell. When he casts this spell, the caster must designate a spell against which it will be effective. The spell must be on his spell list and he must possess the spell in the form of a scroll, though he need not have created it himself. The spell can be no higher than 4th level. If the recipient of this spell is affected by the designated spell while under the inuence of contingent spell immunity, the spells effects are completely negated as if by Spell Resistance. Contingent spell immunity protects from one use of the spell per 5 levels of the caster before discharging. A single target may only benet from one casting of contingent spell immunity. A second casting of this spell negates all previous castings. Focus: A gold, diamond-studded scroll case in which you place the scroll for the spell to be protected against. The case must be specially crafted and is worth at least 200gp. If the case is separated from the target after the initial casting or the scroll is removed from the case, the contingent spell immunity is lost.

natures ally spell, save that the spells duration is 1 hour/caster level. Summoned creatures are always awake and at full strength, with all normal equipment, spells and abilities available to them. Creatures that require items or weapons to be considered at full strength are always summoned fully equipped. For example, a satyr could never be summoned without his pipes. An orc would probably arrive in armour and bearing a weapon of some sort. Creatures summoned in this manner are also very typical representatives of their species and are rarely exceptional in any way (i.e., summoned creatures never arrive with magic items). Material Components: A small bit of organic material from the type of animal being summoned such as a tuft of fur, a feather or a snakes shed skin. Components from common creatures are usually available for free, while components from especially rare or dangerous creatures may be harder and more expensive to obtain.

A lycanthrope, regardless of its current shape (humanoid, hybrid, or animal) can be affected by this spell. You command them by voice and they understand you, no matter what language you speak. Even if vocal communication is impossible, the controlled lycanthropes do not attack you. At the end of the spell, the subjects revert to their normal behaviour. Lycanthropes remember that you controlled them. Focus: A small piece of polished moonstone.

Any corpses in this area immediately emit blue ames that ll an area 20 feet in diameter centred on the dead body. Any creatures in the areas lled with blue ame suffer 4d6 hit points of cold-based damage. A successful Reex save reduces this damage by one-half. Once a body has been ignited with corpsere it may not be used to generate further ames. New bodies thrown into the haze emitted by this spell will burst into corpsere ames as soon as they land within the affected area.

Corpse Armour
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level or until discharged This spell allows the caster to create magical armour from the remains of a humanoid. The caster must touch a corpse (the corpse can be fresh, rotting or even skeletal, so long as enough of it remains that it could be animated via an animate dead spell) and invoke the spell. The corpse will then stand erect, embrace the caster and begin to bend and twist, wrapping itself around the caster to form a gruesome armour of bones and dead esh. The armour grants a +2 enhancement bonus to the casters AC, 25 temporary hit points, a 1 armour check penalty and a 55% arcane spell failure penalty. Damage dealt to the caster is rst removed from the temporary hit points. The spell ends either when the duration expires or the 25 temporary hit points are lost. Should the spell end normally, all remaining temporary hit points are lost. Material Component: A humanoid corpse.

Your incantation creates an explosion of magical acid centred on the target you choose. Any creatures in the area of effect must make a Reex save or suffer 1d8 hit points of damage, +1 hit point per caster level (maximum +5 hp). The corrosive action of the acid also burns the eyes and skin, leaving living creatures unable to defend themselves to the best of their ability. All living creatures that fail their Reex save also suffer a 1 circumstance penalty to their Armour Class and Reex Saves for the next 1d6 rounds. Material Components: A ask of acid.

living in the target. Such creatures hear and see almost everything that goes on within that structure, but understand nothing of what they hear. This spell bombards the caster with ashes of memory and instinct. He learns roughly how many big things live in the structure, how many rooms there are, how much activity goes on there, how much food there is and so on. All the information is gained from the perspective of the vermin a rat does not distinguish between a sickly sailor who will not put up a ght, and an elite swordsman tattooed with magical enhancements wielding a nine lives stealer, nor can a seagull tell the difference between a warship and a merchantman. The caster does not learn the shape of the structure well enough to construct a map, but does vaguely perceive how far different locations are from each other. Material Component: A scrap of food, usually cheese when targeting a building or a sh head when targeting a vessel.

Corruptions Kiss
Transmutation Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Truly evil beings understand the seductive power of corruption all too well. Through the means of this spell, you impart the same understanding on another, forever marking them as impure. A victim who fails to save radiates an aura of sickly sweet corruption that is palpable and so strong that even the most debauched and evil are put off. All NonPlayer Character reaction checks involving creatures of average human Intelligence are considered to begin as hostile. The effects of corruptions kiss can only be reversed by break enchantment, remove curse, limited wish, miracle or wish. Material Components: A woodcarving of scandalous images prominently featuring the victim.

Courage
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You or one creature touched/2 levels Duration: 10 minutes Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes The arcane version of similar divine spells, courage wards the mind against fear and emotional effects caused by outside sources. Any time within the duration of the spell that the protected recipient has to make a Will save versus such an effect, this spell lets the caster automatically make the save. Once courage operates once, it is negated for the recipient in question, though its effects do not end for others. This spell occurs automatically, regardless of the recipients wishes, as long as the fear or emotion effect involved offers a Will save.

Council of Stowaways

Spell Descriptions

This basic conjuration is extremely useful to craftsmen and tradesmen. By touching the spells focus, a masterwork set of crafting tools, you summon material appropriate to the tools into your presence. This spell can summon stone, wood, iron, parchment or clay in quantities equal to 1 cubic foot (or full sheet in the case of parchment) per caster level. For this spell to work, the material in question must exist unattended within 1 mile per caster level of your location. Iron may exist as smelted ingots or unprocessed ore within the same area. Materials will appear prepared for use, in block, ingot, board or sheet form. Care must be taken when casting this spell near a town or city, as the materials may be taken from someone elses possession. Focus: A masterwork set of crafting tools.

that actions can serve as triggers if they are visible or audible. A dynamic gment cannot distinguish invisible creatures, alignments, level, HD or class except by external garb. The range limit of a trigger is 40 feet per caster level, so a 6th level caster can command a dynamic illusion to respond to triggers up to 240 feet away. Regardless of range, the illusion can respond only to triggers and actions in line of sight, within hearing distance or within scent distance (see the Scent ability in the MM for more details). To successfully create a dynamic gment, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 15 + spell level). Recurring gments follow a predetermined pattern decided upon by the caster. The illusion follows that script without the caster having to concentrate on it and repeats it after a predetermined amount of time (maximum of 10 minutes per caster level) or upon a specic triggering condition (see above for more details on how triggers work). The illusion created can include intelligible speech if the character wishes. For instance, the character could create the recurring illusion of several orcs playing cards and arguing, culminating in a stght. It then repeats this scene from beginning to end at the predetermined time or trigger.

Illusion (Figment) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: No You can create enduring gments with this spell. The casting time is usually an hour of uninterrupted work to create an illusion of Fine size. At the time of casting, the illusionist chooses one of the following types to link to the gment: static, dynamic or reoccurring. Static gments do not move from where they are placed and do not require as much craft as the other types listed. To successfully create a static illusion, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 10 + spell level). Dynamic gments have a triggering condition (which may be a special word) that is set at the casting of the spell. The event that triggers the illusion can be as general or as specic and detailed as desired, but must be based on an audible, tactile, olfactory or visual trigger. The trigger cannot be based on some quality that is not normally obvious to the senses, such as alignment. Triggers react to whatever appears to be the case. Disguises and illusions can fool them. Normal darkness does not defeat a visual trigger but magical darkness or invisibility does. Silent movement or magical silence defeat audible triggers. Audible triggers can be keyed to general types of noises or to a specic noise or spoken word. Note

Spell Descriptions

Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Targets: Creatures or item touched Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: Yes Similar to crafted gment, except that an enduring glamour of Fine size is created. At the time of casting, the illusionist chooses whether the glamour will be static, dynamic or leaping. Static glamours are unchanging and linked to a particular creature or object and require a successful Craft (illusions) check (DC 10 + spell level) to create. Dynamic glamours are also linked to a particular creature, but unlike static glamours they change if a certain triggering condition is met (see crafted gment I for more details on triggers). To successfully create a dynamic glamour, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 15 + spell level). Leaping glamours are placed upon a particular creature or object. However, if a certain triggering condition is met (see crafted gment I for more details on triggers), then the glamour leaps from that creature or object to another subject of the same type and general qualities. Thus a leaping glamour placed upon a human cannot then leap to a giant or dragon. The glamour could, however, leap to humanoids, monstrous humanoids and any other generally humanshaped bipedal creature. Note that glamours of this kind can only affect a particular creature or item once and never again. To successfully create a leaping glamour the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 20 + spell level). Note that all the above types may include visual, auditory, olfactory and thermal elements. Failure on the Craft (illusions) check means that the spell suffers a 2 penalty to the Difculty Class of its Will disbelief save. Failure by 5 or more causes the spell to fail. Material Component: A sketch and/or instructions on how to create the illusion. XP Cost: Same XP cost as if scribing a scroll of the spells level.

Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 hour Range: 10 ft. Area: Cone-shaped burst Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: Will Negates Similar to crafted gment, except that an enduring pattern is created with the following qualities: * At the time of casting, the illusionist chooses whether the pattern will be static, dynamic or layered. Dynamic and layered patterns can only be created with crafted pattern II or higher. Static patterns are unchanging and linked to a particular place. They require a successful Craft (illusions) check (DC 10 + spell level + number of effects) to create. Dynamic patterns are also linked to a particular place but unlike static patterns, they change effects if a certain triggering condition is met (see crafted gment I for more details on triggers). To successfully create a dynamic pattern, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 15 + spell level + number of effects). Layered patterns are linked to a particular place and have multiple effects linked to them (only available at crafted pattern II and higher). These effects are usually triggered at certain points within the patterns range. For example, a layered pattern might dazzle viewers at a range of 60 feet, blind them at 30 feet and at 10 feet knock them unconscious. To successfully create a layered pattern, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 15 + spell level + number of effects).

When created, the pattern can be designed to dazzle, distract or fascinate opponents. Both dazzled and fascinated are described in the PHB, distracted is detailed in the Appendix (see pg. 241).

the casters level rounds. If the victim failed by 5 or more, then the effects of the spell last 1d4 + the casters level rounds (maximum +10). Finally, if the victim failed by 4 or less, then the effects of the spell last 1d4 rounds. Note that while most patterns are visual only, some do use auditory (usually associated with deafen and confused effects) and olfactory (usually linked to nausea effects) elements. A crafted pattern I can affect 1d4 + caster level worth of HD (maximum +10). Determine the maximum number of HD that the pattern can affect (this is usually done by the GM, secretly). The pattern then stays in place until it has affected, or has attempted to affect, that number of HD worth of creatures. Note that the pattern can only affect creatures that have equal to or less than twice the casters level in HD. Once the limit is reached, the pattern is discharged and disappears. All patterns affect creatures with fewer HD before those with more HD. Failure on the Craft (illusions) check means that the spell suffers a 2 penalty to the Difculty Class of its Will save. Failure by 5 or more causes the spell to fail. Due to the special qualities of patterns, the caster of the spell still needs to save versus the spell if he enters the predetermined area of effect. The caster does however gain a +2 insight bonus to his Will save. Material Component: A sketch and/or instructions on how to create the illusion. XP Cost: Same XP cost as if scribing a scroll of the spells level.

This spell functions as crafted pattern I, except that you are now able to create dynamic or layered patterns containing a number of effects equal to your caster level and targets may now suffer from effects that blind, daze, deafen, nauseate or unbalance them (each counts a two effects toward caster level limit and Craft (illusion) DC).

Dynamic phantasms are linked to one place, but have a specic condition that must be met before they can be triggered (see crafted gment I for more details on triggers). To successfully create a dynamic phantasm, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 15 + spell level + number of effects). Wandering phantasms are not linked to any one place, instead they are linked to a general area and can appear anywhere in that area when a particular triggering condition is met (see crafted gment I for more details on triggers). To successfully create a wandering phantasm, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check (DC 20 + spell level + number of effects). When this spell is cast, the caster determines the area of effect which can be up to 5-foot cube + 5-foot/level for static and dynamic phantasms and 20-foot cube + 5 foot/level for wandering phantasms.

Static phantasms do not move from where they are placed and are automatically triggered when someone enters the area designated. They require a successful Craft (illusions) check (DC 10 + spell level + number of effects) to create.

When creating a phantasm, the caster chooses one (or more) up to his caster level of the following adverse effects or one of the effects listed under the crafted pattern I spell (at appropriate levels). Crafted phantasm I can cause a victim to become shaken as described in the PHB. The length of time that the victim is affected by this phantasm is proportionate to the amount by which he failed his saving throw. If the victim failed critically (i.e. he rolled a 1), then the effects of the spell last 2d4 + the casters level rounds. If the victim failed by 5 or more, then the effects of the spell last 1d4 + the casters level rounds (maximum +10). Finally, if the victim failed by 4 or less, then the effects of the spell last 1d4 rounds. The phantasm can affect a number of targets equal to 1d4 + casters level worth of HD (maximum +10). Determine the maximum number of HD that the phantasm can affect (this is usually done by the GM, secretly). The phantasm then stays in place until it has affected, or has attempted to affect, that number of HD worth of creatures. Note that the phantasm can only affect creatures that have equal to or less than twice the casters level in HD. Once this limit is reached, the phantasm is discharged and disappears. Any damage dealt by a phantasm can be negated with a successful Fortitude save. Material Component: A sketch and/or instructions on how to create the illusion.

Items created via this spell have their normal qualities against those who fail their Will disbelief saving throws, such as a shadow alchemists re. Those who make their disbelief checks only suffer one-third the normal effect. Note also that shadow items created by this spell only count towards having real items of that type one-third of the time. For example, if a rogue uses shadow thieves tools to pick a lock there is a 33% chance that the shadow tools work. To successfully create a shadow item, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check versus DC 5 for very simple items, DC 10 for typical items, DC 15 for high quality items and DC 20 for superior or complex items. Creatures shaped via this spell are considered onethird real and have only 1 HD, despite the creature being mimicked.

You may create only shadow equipment or creatures of Fine size or armour, shields and weapons usable by Tiny size creatures. Items created with this spell are considered to be one-third as real and have one-third the normal hardness and hit points of the true object. There are four types of objects that can be created: weapons, armour, shields and equipment. Weapons created via this spell are partially real and those who succeed their Will disbelief saves still suffer one-third of the damage that would normally be received from such a weapon (rounded down, minimum one point of damage). Those who fail to disbelieve suffer full damage from shadow weapons. To successfully create a shadow weapon, the caster has to make a Craft (illusions) check versus DC 12 for simple weapons, DC 15 for martial weapons and DC 18 for exotic weapons. Shadow weapons are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Armour or shields created in this way provide the full armour bonus to AC against enemies that fail their Will disbelief saves. For those enemies that make their saving throw, the armour still provides one-third of the mimicked armours bonus (rounded down, minimum of +1). Note that the armour bonus of real armour and shadow armour do not stack, though a shadow shield would stack with real armour and vice versa. The wearer also acts as if he had the actual armour on for purposes of determining maximum Dexterity bonus, armour check penalty, arcane spell failure and movement, unless he knows the shadow armour is not entirely real, at which point he suffers one-third the normal penalties.

Creaturebane
Abjuration [Force, Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 0 ft. Area: 30-ft.radius spherical emanations, centred on you Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes When cast, you must name a creature type as listed in the MM. A shimmering dome springs up instantly, covering the ground at its base and lling the spells area with a coloured light of your choice. No creature of the chosen type can come in or out of the dome, being both physically incapable and mentally repelled from doing so. Spell-like abilities or supernatural powers that would normally allow the creature to bypass a force effect can still be used, but the creature must make a Will saving throw to do so. Otherwise, the attempted action fails. Only one Will save is allowed and failure prevents the creature in question from trying to bypass the ward again. Success allows the creature to bypass freely; the wall no longer in existence for it. Material Component: A one-inch piece of turtle shell, soaking in a potion of fear. (This spell does not consume the potion when cast.)

Range: Touch Area: See text Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes By casting this spell, the wizard either causes a humanoid target to double over in pain from highpressure gas bubbles forced into their bloodstream, or cures said afiction as it occurs naturally in divers. The target is unable to move for 1d4 hours and takes 1d10 points of damage unless they make a Fortitude save.

Dark Baubles
Evocation [Darkness] Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Object touched Duration: 10 minute/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell causes an object to throw deep shadows in a 20-foot radius. The shadow is equivalent to that seen in a moonless night and grants a +2 circumstance bonus to all Hide checks. The effect is immobile, but can be cast on a movable object. Shadow taken into an area of magical light will not function. A dark baubles spell is sufcient to counter and dispel the effects of a light spell or another spell with the light descriptor of equal level. Material Component: A small, black spider.

Crescendo of Indefatigability
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 1 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Area: You Duration: 1 round/level By means of this single, pure note, you acquire great resolve toward succeeding at a specic task whose outcome is determined by a single die roll. This task can be an attack roll, a damage roll, a saving throw, an ability check or a skill check. The task must be specied at the time of casting. The bard enjoys a +2 inspiration bonus on the relevant die roll for the duration of the spell.

Darkest Knowing
Divination [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close Target: One creature (see text) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will partial (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes While divination spells are powerless to actually inict any form of compulsion, sometimes the truth can be a far more effective weapon than any forced effect. By casting this spell at a target creature, the spellcaster grants it just that: the truth. Darkest knowing calls forth all of the unvarnished truths

about the subject, such as its innitesimal lifespan and its utter insignicance in the grand scheme of the cosmos, and reveals them to it in a single, mindbreaking moment. The target is able to resist this shock of knowledge if it makes a successful Will save and is only affected as per a daze cantrip unless it has 11 or more hit dice. If the targets Will saving throw fails, it is forced to accept these harsh truths in the space of a single heartbeat. Its mind locks up and to all outward appearances, the subject becomes catatonic and will not react to any outside stimulus for a minimum of 24 hours minus one hour per point of Wisdom it possesses. Creatures with a Wisdom score of 24 or higher are immune to this spell, as are any targets with the Perfect Self class feature. At the Games Masters option, certain creatures may be more or less resistant to this spell, depending on their psyches and how well or poorly they might react to its effects.

specically targets the caster. If the attacker fails the Will save against the daze, the spell is wasted and the attacker suffers the dazes effect. Again, only an attacker of Hit Dice equal to or less than the caster qualies. In addition, if the dazing aura successfully wards off a spell, it instantly ends as well. Material Component: An elixir made from the eyes of a blindheim and the water of any lake or pond where a nymph resides.

Dazzling Lights
Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 10 ft. Area: Cone-shaped burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This pattern dazzles all creatures (of 1 or less HD) in its area of effect for one round. This spell has no effect on creatures of higher HD. Material Component: A piece of ash paper.

Daze, Greater
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close Target: One humanoid creature Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This is identical to the daze cantrip, except that it has no limit on the Hit Dice or level that can be affected. Otherwise, the limitations of daze apply, including appropriate targets.

Dead Magic Zone


Transmutation Level: Clr 8, Drd 8, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 day Range: Touch Effect: 10-ft. spread/level Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No With this spell, you create a permanent zone of dead magic, an area where no magic can be cast, just as if the area had been affected by an antimagic eld. Divination spells cannot detect subjects within deadmagic areas, nor can a spellcaster use teleport or another spell to move into or out of the zone. The only exception to the no magic rule is permanent planar portals, which still function normally. Dead-magic zones created by this spell can be repaired, but only by a heightened limited wish (8th level or higher), miracle or wish spell. XP Cost: 5,000 XP

Dazing Aura
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 2 rounds/level (D) A aring aura of pale white energy surrounds the caster. Any creature making contact with this aura by means of a melee attack (though only if the attack comes from a target in the casters threatened area) must make a Will save or be dazed as per the spell. Beings of up to the casters Hit Dice can be affected by this daze and, if it succeeds, the melee attack that prompted the Will save is negated. The aura can also ward off a spell attack or spell-like effect that

Dead Mans Eyes


Divination (Contingent Necromancy) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Effect: See dying vision Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No With this spell, the caster sees the last thing seen by the target corpse. The body cannot be more than 3 days old per level of the caster. The point of view is the same as the last moment of the targets life; anything behind the target or outside its range of vision cannot be seen. The spell does not improve the targets vision, so someone who died in darkness reveals only blackness, even if the caster has darkvision. However, if the deceased has special vision then the caster will see events with that sight. Visions created by this spell are very vivid, emotionally charged and often extremely unpleasant. The caster must make a Fortitude saving throw at the end of the vision (i.e., the moment of death) or pass out for 1d10 rounds from the psychic shock of sharing in the targets death. Material Component: A whole eye from the target creature.

Death Blossoms
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft/2 levels) Target: One creature/4 levels Duration: One round/2 levels Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You infect a victim with clinging necromantic pollen which springs to horrible life the instant blood is spilled upon it. The pollen is, for all intents and purposes, invisible, with only a small chill on the victims skin signifying its presence. Should a pollen contaminated being come into contact with blood, his own or someone elses, during the duration of the spell, the spores absorb the blood and instantly put down roots, blossoming into black with red-veined roses in the course of a single round. The hapless victim suffers 1d4 + 1/level (maximum +5) points of initial damage and must attempt a Fortitude save. If he fails, vines and roots force themselves beneath his skin and begin to entwine in and around his veins, dealing an additional 1d4 points of damage on the following round and making sudden movement or exertion both painful and potentially deadly. He may take a single move or standard action each round safely, but suffers an automatic 1d4 points of damage if he attempts actions beyond that. If a victim is slain while infected with death blossoms, 1d4 blood red, quivering bulbous fruits spontaneously ripen on the vine. When eaten, each fruit heals 1d4 points of damage - excess points are gained as temporary hit points that fade at the rate of one minute. Death blossom spores and owers are instantly destroyed if the victim suffers 5 or more points of re or cold based damage. Material Component: A handful of red or black rose blossoms, which must be crushed in the hand and then scattered by a quick puff of breath.

Death Wish
Conjuration [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Unlimited Target: An unknown evil higher power (see text) Duration: 1 month Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

You challenge an evil deity or other higher power to send a creature after you to do battle. An evil deity or other higher power of the DMs choosing hears your wish for death and orders an outsider (of the DMs choosing) to full it. The outsider arrives on your plane 5500 (1d100 x 5) miles away. The specic outsider summoned varies, but is usually 1 CR or more higher than the caster at the time of casting. Devils and demons are the most common outsiders used to full the death wish. The outsider summoned to kill you has quadruple standard treasure and maximum hit points (and uses whatever gear he has to the best of his ability to kill you). If the outsider has the means to, he rst studies you using divination magic in order to more successfully engage you. If you have friends or guards, the outsider nds others to help deal with them so it can do battle with you one on one. If the outsider kills you, it burns your body as an offering to the power you challenged and takes all of your belongings. If you succeed in defeating the outsider sent, you are able to claim anything it was carrying which should include at least one major wondrous item. The outsider summoned can take as long as one month to choose the best opportunity to attack you.

As a curious side effect, while deathbane is active, you suffer no adverse effects from Constitution loss from any source. You still lose the Constitution points and if the spell ends while you are at 0 Constitution, you still die but, during deathbanes duration, you do not lose hit points, Fortitude save bonuses or suffer any other ill effect of losing Constitution. Material Components: A Constitution effecting poison and any cure potion, combined and drunk as part of the spellcasting. Neither affects the caster in any way.

Deathchant
Necromancy Level: Brd 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: 30 ft. Effect: Emanation in a 30 ft. radius spread, centred on you Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round/level (D); see text Saving Throw: Will negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes Your chanting creates a wave of negative energy that spreads out from you, dealing 1 point of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5 points) each round to all living creatures in the area of effect. If a creature makes a successful save, it is immune to the effects of that particular casting of the spell (even if it leaves the emanation but later enters it again). A creature that fails a save stops taking damage if it leaves the area, but resumes taking damage if it enters again later. Because undead are powered by negative energy, this spell cures such creatures of a like amount of damage, rather than harming them. Material Component: A miniature knife.

Deathbane
Abjuration (Contingent - Necromancy) Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: You or creature touched Duration: Special Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes A powerful abjuration, this spell makes you immune to death effects and uses of negative energy for an indeterminate amount of time. When cast, the spell has a number of charges equal to your caster level. These last until used or until one hour per caster level has elapsed. Then, all remaining levels fade. While deathbane is active, each time you are affected by a death effect, energy drain or negative energy use (such as the various inict spells), the effect is negated and you lose 1 charge per point of Charisma bonus the attacking creature possesses (minimum of one). A partially negated effect does half its damage. No reciprocal effect occurs to the creature negated; this spell merely protects you from its negative energy damage and/or death effects.

Debilitating Decrescendo
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting, Sonic] Level: Brd 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: 1 creature/level Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The caster of this spell sings forth a powerful, clear note. The note starts strong and pure, but degenerates into a weak, discordant gasp directed at one enemy

per caster level within range. If a target fails a Will save, it suffers a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls, AC and saving throws for the duration of the spell.

Defencelessness
Transmutation [Chaotic] Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Spiral Duration: Spiral duration + 1d4 rounds Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell lls the targets with an inability to focus on their own defences. While the targets can attack normally, they are blind to any gaps in their protection and do nothing to protect themselves from incoming attacks. All targets that fail their save are treated as if they were at-footed when they are attacked. Material Components: A miniature ivory shield that is crushed underfoot when the spell is cast (300 gp value).

Range: Touch Targets: One ship touched Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes By calling upon powerful arcane forces, you are able to call up invisible barriers of magical force that effectively plug holes in the hulls of sinking ships for a short period of time. Crewmen are then able to effect longer lasting repairs in the hope their ship might reach the safety of port. A ship under the inuence of this spell will stop sinking for the duration of its casting. After this period has elapsed, the ship will continue to sink as normal. Material Component: A small amount of tar.

Deny Transformation
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: 20 ft. Target: 20 ft. radius emanation centred on you Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None, Fortitude negates (special) Spell Resistance: Yes When cast, deny transformation prevents any creatures caught in the range of the spell from being affected by alter self, polymorph, natural shapeshifting abilities including those granted by class powers such as Wild Shape or the alternate form special quality, or spelllike abilities from any source. This effect allows no save. Lycanthropes are forced into their base form if they fail a Fortitude save, but even if they succeed they are stuck in whatever form they are currently in until the spell ends. Material Component: A 100 gold piece moonstone and a sprig of foxglove or wolvesbane. The moonstone is hurled to the ground and shattered to begin the spells effect.

Dja Vu
Illusion (Shadow) [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes In an instant, the subject of this spell experiences the ravages of the previous round over again. Only forces that directly deal hit point damage are experienced again. The character receives, in an instant, all the damage he received in the previous round. For example, if the character receives 20 points of re damage after successfully saving from a reball and 8 points from a dagger attack, he receives 20 points of re damage and 8 points of dagger damage when this spell is cast. Material Component: A magnifying glass.

Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: Yes When this spell is cast, a bizarre fractal nimbus of salt crystals begins to dance around the casters hands. The caster must make a successful touch attack to discharge the spell. When the spell takes effect, the moisture is torn out of every cell in the victims body. His skin shrivels and becomes encrusted in a thick cake of salt and tears; his esh becomes dry and brittle. Desiccate has three effects. The rst is simple damage, similar to that caused by the horrid wilting spell. It deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level, to a maximum of 15d6. Water or Plant creatures suffer 1d8 points of damage per level instead. The victim may make a Fortitude save to take half damage. The second effect deals 2d4 points of ability damage to each of the victims Strength, Dexterity and Constitution. This effect takes place after any damage is dealt. The victim may make a Will save to preserve his Strength, a Reex save to preserve his Dexterity and another Fortitude save to preserve his Constitution. A successful save negates the ability damage. The target of desiccate also has his movement reduced by one-third and suffers a 2 inherent penalty to all actions for 2d4 rounds. Material Component: A bag of salt.

In order to cast this spell, you must have some knowledge of the memory to be erased, from rsthand experience, from an account given to you by someone with rst hand knowledge or from a written account, tapestry, legend or song. A successful check with the relevant Knowledge skill against a DC of 20 - 30 (depending on obscurity) provides sufcient knowledge for the spell to work. Destroy memory can be cast on any being which is currently on the same plane of existence as you. Should the intended target leave the plane before the casting is complete, the spell has no effect. Only a miracle, a wish or direct deity level intervention, can reverse the effects of a destroy memory spell. Material Components: A bit of paper upon which is written a description of the memory to be erased. The scrap must be folded and devoured by the caster at the conclusion of the casting ritual.

Detect Dead
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped emanation Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You can detect the aura that surrounds the dead, allowing you to locate hidden corpses by magical means. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject. * * * 1st Round: Presence or absence of corpses. 2nd Round: Number of corpses in area. 3rd Round: The location of each corpse detected. If a corpse is outside your line of sight, then you only discern its direction but not its exact location.

Destroy Memory
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: See text Target: See text Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This insidious spell permanently erases a single memory from the victims mind, with such precision and thoroughness the victim has no idea something has been taken from him. The spell can erase either the memory of one event, person, object or idea. For example, you could erase the victims memory of a specic battle, his memory of a childhood friend or of his prized sword.

Detect Dimensional Disturbance

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No As detect magic, except you can detect whether something has disturbed the barriers between the Prime Material Plane and the rest. The effects that this spell detects include the spells ethereal jaunt, etherealness, gate, dimension door, blink, teleport (and all its variants), all summon spells, commune, contact other plane, astral projection, planar ally and so on. Supernatural and spell-like abilities that emulate these spells, like the ability to materialize from the Ethereal or Astral Planes. Incorporeal undead and spirits, also become evident to the caster. The spell identies what kind of effect pierced the barriers and also what kind of creature was responsible. In order to determine strength of the effect, as well as the time that can transpire between the dimensional disturbance and the casting of this spell, use the guidelines for detect magic.

Detect Spirits
Divination Level: Clr 1, Drd 1, Rgr 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped emanation Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You can detect the presence of active and latent spirits within range (any creature with the spirit type). The amount of information revealed depends on how long you concentrate on a particular area: * * 1st Round: Presence or absence of spirits. 2nd Round: Number of different spirits and the spell level of the strongest spirit (see pg. 242). 3rd Round: The strength and location of each spirit.

Detect Illusion
Divination Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped emanation Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You detect illusions cast by someone with a lower caster level than you. If the caster level is equal to your own, you must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) versus the save DC of the spell. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject. * * * 1st Round: Presence or absence of illusions. 2nd Round: Number of different illusions. 3rd Round: The location of each illusion. This spell tells you only that illusions are present, not exactly what those illusions are, but knowledge that illusions are present gives you an automatic +4 circumstance bonus to any saving throws required to disbelieve the illusion(s).

This spell does not detect the presence of spirits that currently possess a creature inside the area. Material components: A small piece of fur.

Detect Transformation
Divination [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 2, Clr 2 Components: V, S, DF/F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Target: Cone-shaped emanation Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min/level (D). Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes By casting this spell and focusing your attention (in the same manner as a detect evil spell), you can determine if there is anyone within range who possesses a natural ability, spell-like power or class feature that grants the ability to change their shape. This includes druids, outsiders with form-altering spell-like abilities, lycanthropes, doppelgangers and so on. The ability to cast polymorph spells as an arcane or divine spellcaster does not, by itself, qualify someone as a shapechanger.

intelligent a victim is, the more effective this insidious transformation becomes. Once touched, a victim is affected for two rounds plus one round per point of Intelligence bonus it possesses. Each round of effect deals 1d4 points of Intelligence damage on your turn, though you do not need to maintain concentration and can take other actions freely while this occurs. Lost Intelligence points return at a rate of one per hour. Intelligence cannot be dropped below 1 with this spell, but if a target reaches 3 Intelligence or less, he drops anything he is holding and becomes a neutral NPC of animal level cognisance under the Games Masters control until his Intelligence score returns to 4 or greater. Any dispelling effect, remove curse, or break enchantment will end this spell and return all the lost Intelligence points immediately, even if the spell has already technically ended. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: Each time a subject suffers a 1d4 Intelligence damage; one point of it is a permanent Intelligence drain. Drained points do not return when the spell ends or is dispelled.

Detoxifying Wave
Transmutation [Poison] Level: Brd 4, Clr 4, Drd 4, Pal 4, Rgr 4, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Area: 30 ft. radius burst centred on you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (object) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) You unleash a burst of purifying energy. All poisons affected by the spell are immediately and irrevocably transformed into pure, potable water. The spell affects poisons on weapons or traps. It has no effect on venomous creatures or poisons that have already affected their target. Attended or magical poisons get a Fortitude saving throw to resist the effect of the spell. Material Component: A small square of steel mesh.

Devour the Shadow


Necromancy [Age] Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: See text Range: Touch Target: One target touched Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes Ones shadow is the gateway to his soul and the only true anchor to the mortal world. By destroying the shadow, you can destroy the victims vitality and his will to live. With the casting of this spell, the caster can tear away the victims shadow like tissue paper, absorbing his essence into themselves and liquidating his personality. The moment this spell is cast, the victim must attempt a Will save. If the save succeeds, the victim suffers 1d4 points of Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma damage. If the save is failed, the victim suffers 1d4 points of Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma drain, and his shadow is completely obliterated. A being whose shadow has been obliterated immediately ages one age category, with his body

Devolving Caress
Transmutation [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack which may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. The mind of a victim touched with this spell begins to devolve rapidly, quickly losing its sentience and rendering the subject bestial and wild. The more

ageing to the exact midpoint of the next category. He suffers penalties to his physical and mental abilities as appropriate, but does not gain the commensurate benets, if any. At the same moment, the caster is lled with a surge of energy and youthful vitality; the length of his current age category is extended by the number of years the victim aged. The caster can never more than quadruple the length of any age category by means of this spell, meaning that while the victim ages as normal, he will no longer benet from the casting. In order to cast this spell, the caster must rst gather a score of objects which are considered important to the prospective victim. Appropriate objects might include a dagger which the victim always carries, a favourite piece of art or clothing or a love letter from an old paramour. Once these objects are gathered, they must be systematically destroyed, their essences burned away on a pyre of white-hot ame. Afterwards, the ashes from the pyre must be gathered and mixed with precious oils, rare herbs and the fresh blood of a doppelganger or other being capable of natural shape shifting. This mixture costs 200 gold pieces per character level or Hit Dice of the victim, and must be stored in a cool environment for one full week, in order to ripen into potency. The actual casting of the spell, once the preparations are complete, is done in two stages. The rst requires an hour of concentrated, undisturbed work, during which the caster must perform an elaborate series of chants and calculations. Once this rst stage is complete, the spell is primed for nal casting. From this point, the spell can be cast with a standard action, so long as the caster is within 100 feet + 10 feet per level of the intended target. Devour shadow is one of, if not the, most feared spells necromancers have developed. Material Components: See text, plus a small, lit candle, which is snuffed at the moment of casting.

charged by the dukes of Hell with counting and inspecting their treasures. The imp appears as a small, red skinned creature with tiny horns and a vicious, barbed tail. It possesses 6 ranks in the Appraise skill and Skill Focus (Appraise) as a bonus feat. Otherwise, it has the stats and abilities of a normal imp. During its time on the Prime Material Plane, it uses its skills to inspect and evaluate any item given to it. It atly refuses to undertake any other action, even if it is subject to a spell such as charm monster or suggestion. In such a case, it immediately returns to Hell and this spell ceases. Under no circumstances does the imp undertake any action other than to inspect items given to it. This spell is based on an ancient contract established by powerful wizard, who struck a deal that allowed the dukes of the Infernum to rent out their most troublesome underlings in return for a small fee. The magical binding that summons the imp immediately breaks and returns the imp if he undertakes any actions other than those directly connected to assessing an item. Material Components: A small sack lled with coins or items worth 5 gp. This item must be handed to the imp as soon as the creature appears. The imp takes the sack and gold with it back to hell when the spell breaks or ends normally.

Dimension Portal
Conjuration [Teleportation] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Effect: A dimensional passage connecting two points Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No As dimension door, save that the passage you create remains in place after you travel through it and other creatures may use it until the spells duration ends. The portal appears as a gleaming point of light. It has no effect on attacks, provides no cover and does not block movement. A creature must enter the space you occupied when you rst cast this spell and spend a standard action to move through the portal. It counts as having cast dimension door save that it appears at the destination point you originally chose. Travel is possible in only one direction.

If a creature would appear in a spot that is too tight to hold its bulk or in an area already occupied by a creature, it counts as having used dimension door to enter a spot occupied by solid matter. A creature affected by a dimensional anchor cannot travel via this spell.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) By means of this spell, you enable one ally per level within range to continue to act normally if its hit points have been reduced to 0 or below. If you are somehow rendered unable to sing, the spell is negated immediately. When the spell is negated, the target does not suffer any additional damage, but immediately suffers the effects appropriate to its current hit point level (meaning, usually, that he is unconscious and slowly bleeding to death). If your target is reduced to -10 or fewer hit points, it dies immediately, even if under the inuence of this spell.

Dimensional Warp

You may determine the exact placement of your fellow travellers at your arrival point, but they must all appear within 30 feet of your destination.

Evocation [Good] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: Up to ve creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A missile of positive energy darts forth from the palm of the characters hand and unerringly strikes its target. The missile is designed specically to affect undead creatures only and deals 2d4+2 points of damage. As magic missile, the disruption missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in the midst of melee or has anything less than total cover or concealment for protection. This spell has no effect on living creatures. For every two levels of experience past 3rd, the character gains an additional missile. The character has two at 5th level, three at 7th level, four at 9th level and the maximum of ve missiles at 11th level or higher. If the character shoots multiple missiles, the character can have them strike a single creature or several creatures, as well as divert all of the missiles she is capable of ring at a single creature for maximum results. The caster must designate her targets before she rolls for spell resistance or damage.

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 15 ft. radius spread Duration: Concentration + 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This pattern distracts, as described in Appendix I (see pg. 241), all creatures in its area of effect.

If the target fails its Will save, it falls into a deep slumber and cannot be awakened until the duration of dolorous touch ends. In addition, this spell has a lingering effect. While it is in effect, any appropriate target that touches a sleeping victim of this spell must also make a Will save or fall unconscious. This new target is now also considered to be affected by dolorous touch. No matter how many targets succumb to this spell, they all awaken when the original duration ends or when the caster dispels the

The dragony causes 3d6 damage on a successful ranged touch attack. If a ranged touch attack succeeds, you may make another ranged touch attack in the same round against any target within 30 feet of the last target. As long as each attack damages its target, you may continue making ranged touch attacks against targets (each of which must be within 30 feet of the last damaged target) a total of three additional times. You may only make one attack against each target each round and if you miss with any of the ranged touch attacks, the dragony immediately returns to your shoulder until the next round. Material component: A tiny dragony (carved from any gemstone) worth 150 gp.

Doorway to the Infernum


Conjuration (Summoning) [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels) Effect: A magical door leading to Hell Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: No Spell Resistance: No The caster creates a doorway of balere and brimstone. Once per round, a barbazu, kyton or erinyes (equal chance of each) passes through the gate and arrives in the presence of the caster. If the caster speaks an Infernal word of greeting (a free action), there is a 50 percent chance the devil will remain and obey the casters commands for the duration of the spell as if summoned by a summon monster spell. If it chooses not to stay, there is a 5 percent chance that it attacks the caster for the duration of the spell. Otherwise, it leaves. If the caster does not speak the word of welcome, the devil always chooses not to stay. If the caster moves out of range of the gate, it ceases to exist and the spell ends. Any summoned creatures disappear.

Necromancy Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, DF/F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch; see text Targets: Two creatures, both of which can be no more than 10 ft. apart; see text Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes By means of this spell, you can transfer hit points from yourself or a donor creature to another creature. The donor must be within 10 feet of the subject. If the donor is unwilling, you must succeed at a melee touch attack. You can serve as the donor, but cannot be the recipient of this spells effects. For every hit point you drain from the donor, you transfer an equal amount to the subject. Using this spell, you can drain and transfer a total number of hit points equal to your caster level.

Enchantment [Fear, Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 40 ft. Area: 40-ft. cone Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes You create sound vibrations in a 40-foot cone-shaped burst that gives creatures a deep, unexplained feeling of fear. Creatures failing their Will save are panicked (see DMG for effect). Those that succeed remain so uneasy that they suffer a 2 penalty to all attack and damage rolls and have a 2 penalty on all future Will saves against fear effects. Although this spell is based on sound, it is vibrations from the sound that cause the fear effect. Deaf or deafened creatures are not immune, but they do receive a +4 circumstance bonus to their Will saves.

Dream Thief
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: 1 day/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell steals the dreams from the subjects mind each time he sleeps. So long as the subject is affected by this spell, it does not gain the benets of a good nights sleep. That is, the subject does not regain hit points or heal ability damage, does not regain lost spells and functions as if fatigued (effective ability decrease of 2 to Strength and Dexterity). Creatures that do not sleep (such as undead and constructs) cannot be affected by this spell. Elves, however, can be. The effective penalty to ability scores does not stack from day to day.

Drinking Song
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 4 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Target: All living creatures within range Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes One reason bards are so popular in the common taverns and ale houses of many a city is not because of their ability to tell tales, recite heart-wrenching poetry, or play instruments with the skill of virtuoso performers, but because they have a tendency to make even the most dreary gathering fun. When an accomplished bard (8+ ranks in the Perform skill) casts this spell, all living creatures within range who fail their Will save gain a temporary +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma and become utterly drunk for the duration. Bards with fewer than 8 ranks of the Perform Skill only impart a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma. Drunken characters are treated as if they were nauseated for the duration of the spell. Unwilling targets that successfully resist this spell immediately attempt to attack the bard.

Drown
Conjuration (Creation) [Water] Level: Clr 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude partial Spell Resistance: Yes You create a volume of water around your targets head or other respiratory organs. The creature must make a Fortitude save every round to hold its breath against the magically conjured water and each round after the rst the DC increases by +1. If the creature fails a save, its hit points drop to 0; starting the next round, they drop by 1 per round as the creature slowly drowns. You can dispel the effect at any time, and the creature stabilizes automatically if the effect ends before it dies. Creatures that do not breathe or that can breathe water are completely unaffected. Material Component: A few drops of water.

Earth Brand
Evocation Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 10 minutes/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes The energy of this spell creates a brown, block-shaped brand on the face, hand or other prominent feature of any creature, living or undead. Those bearing this mark gain a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength. They also possess the ability to conjure and throw a large mass of rock, which requires a normal ranged attack roll and deals 5d6 points of damage to a target it hits within medium range (100 feet + 10 feet/level). Using this mass of rock ability is a standard action that immediately dismisses the earth brand.

Earth Brand, Greater


Evocation Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 4 As earth brand, except that the mark grants the subject damage reduction 10/magic for the spells duration or until the spell has protected the subject from up to 10 points of damage per caster level, or until the subject uses the greater mass of rock ability: as under earth brand, but the 40-foot cone of earth and rock blasted from the casters hand deals 6d6 points of damage. A successful Reex saving throw allows half damage.

Drowning Wave
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drd 7, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: 20 ft. Effect: Drowning aura extending 20 ft. from you Duration: Concentration +3 rounds Saving Throw: Reex partial; see text Spell Resistance: Yes You generate an aura around you that causes living, air-breathing creatures to drown, as though they were underwater. Subjects that make their saving throw are able to draw breath before the spell takes effect, allowing them to hold their breath for the standard time (a number of rounds equal to twice their Constitution score) before being forced to make Constitution checks. Creatures who fail do not draw breath and must begin making Constitution checks the following round, as though they had already held their breath for twice their Constitution in rounds. Failure on this check indicates the individual begins drowning, as per the standard downing rules in the DMG. Material Component: The bones or scales of a dead sh.

Earthmaw
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Earthen maw that lls a 5-foot cube Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You transmute a section of the ground into a gaping maw. The spell affects normal earth, such as sand, clay or stone, but not wood or metal. The maw tries to bite any creature standing on or stepping into the square where you create it (including you or your allies), attacking by making an opposed grapple check as a Large creature with a Strength score of 15 (grapple bonus +6). For every three caster levels

Spell Descriptions

beyond 3rd, the maws Strength score increases by +1, to a maximum of 21 at 12th level. The maw does not make an initial touch attack, but rather automatically grabs and tries to establish a hold. If the maw successfully establishes or maintains a hold, it deals 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage plus its Strength bonus (lethal or nonlethal damage at your option, decided upon when the spell is cast). The maw can grab or hold only one creature at a time, but it makes a new grapple check each round in your turn once it has seized a creature. If it succeeds with a second grapple check against a Medium or smaller creature, the maw swallows it, dealing another 1d6 points of damage. There is no air inside the maw, and a swallowed creature automatically takes 1d6 points of damage each round until the spell ends or it manages to escape by winning an opposed grapple check (but is still grappled even if it succeeds). The maw can hold one Medium, two Small, four Tiny, eight Diminutive, or sixteen Fine creatures, and can grapple (but not swallow) other creatures even when it is full. Creatures still in the maw when the spell ends are expelled from the earth, taking 1d6 points of damage. The maw itself is impervious to damage, but anything that destroys the 5-foot cube of earth ends the spell and frees any creature held inside. A stone shape counters and dispels earthmaw, and a transmute rock to mud effect cast on the earthmaws square ends the spell but leaves any formerly trapped creatures submerged in the mud. Material Component: A fossil tooth or soapstone carving of a gaping mouth.

Range: Personal Area: 10 ft. per caster level radius emanation centred on you Duration: 1 minute per level (D) With the casting of this spell, you bring to life spectral images and sounds which re-enact events of the recent past. At the time of the spells casting, you decide how far back in time you wish the spell to reach, to a maximum of one hour per caster level. The round after the casting is complete, phantasms, equivalent to those created by major image, appear and begin exactly re-enacting the events that unfolded from the chosen time on. The phantoms are readily visible to all, but only images of living beings are generated by the spell, meaning viewers might watch a ghostly father take a seat seemingly in mid air or watch two children pantomime kicking a ball back and forth. Voices are reproduced as well, though they take on a hushed, atonal quality which erases any emotion and inection from the words. Observers cannot interact with the phantasms in any way, but the caster can move about as he wills - because the area of effect is centred on him, it moves as he does, meaning he can follow a particular phantasm as it re-enacts the past. When he does move, all phantasms which are no longer within the radius of effect instantly disappear; should the caster return to that area, the phantasms reappear, but will begin re-enacting events as though he never left, meaning he may miss some vital bit of information. Once the phantoms have been raised, they do not fade until either the spells duration ends or the caster dismisses the effect. Material Components: A small remembrance box and a diary. At the time of casting, the caster must open both the box and the diary and, holding one in each hand, speak aloud the hour he wishes to summon up.

Spell Descriptions

cast a summon monster I, II, or III spell. This does not signicantly alter the spells casting time. The summon spell occurs normally, summoning what you desire from the appropriate choice. Echoing call does not apparently do anything until your turn comes up the round after you complete the summon monster spell. Then, the same type of creature(s) summoned appear again anywhere you wish within 30 feet. The same thing happens the next round and the one after that, essentially quadrupling the power of the original summon monster spell. The echoing call remains active until its three additional summons nish. If you are dispelled during this time, all of the monsters summoned with the call instantly vanish and no further summonings occur. Once all three summoning echoes occur, the spell ends and is not vulnerable to dispel any longer. All of the extra creatures brought about by this call disappear if for any reason the original creatures from the summon monster do, including the end of the summons duration. XP Cost: 100 XP, paid when the spell activates.

When a creature is rst affected by this spell, it sees an eerie shape in its peripheral vision. The subject then gets a Will disbelief save to recognise the image as being unreal. If the subject fails, the eerie lls its vision with strange and confusing images. At this point, the creature must succeed at a Fortitude save or collapse helpless on the ground for 1 round per caster level of the spell. If the creature succeeds at its Fortitude save, it is instead mildly confused for 3d6 rounds. Use the following table when determining the characters actions for each round: 1d10 1-4 5-6 7-8 9-10 Behaviour Wander away for 1 round Do nothing for 1 round Attack nearest creature for 1 round Act normally for 1 round

Echoing Call II

Roll each round to see what the subject does that round. Wandering creatures leave the scene as if disinterested. Attackers do not gain any bonus to their attack rolls. Behaviour is checked at the beginning of each creatures turn. Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn. If the subject of an eerie spell succeeds in disbelieving and is wearing a helm of telepathy, the eerie can be turned upon the caster. The caster must then disbelieve it or suffer its effects.

Eldritch Enemy

Whenever the target begins to cast a spell, the band contracts sharply, causing 7d6 hit points of damage and forcing a Concentration check in order to nish casting the spell. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage, although the target will still need to make a Concentration check. Material Components: A platinum band worth at least 500 gp.

Elemental Bastion
Abjuration [Varies] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 immediate action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous When you cast elemental bastion, you choose the energy descriptor [acid, cold, electricity, re or sonic] to be endured and the spell counters any 1st level or lower spell that has a re, sonic, acid, cold or electrical descriptor that would affect you.

Fortitude save, but spell resistance is not effective against infestations once the elemental is already on this plane of existence. If the new target saves successfully, the elemental is immediately returned to its home plane. If the target fails, however, he suffers 1d4 points of Constitution damage immediately and an additional 1d4 points of Constitution damage at the beginning of each round thereafter. If the new target dies from this damage, the elemental parasite will attempt to attack a new host, as detailed above. Targets that are infested may take no action other than movement each round and suffer a 4 circumstance penalty to all skill checks due to the internal destruction taking place. Note that the elemental creatures summoned are not true elementals. This spell continues until its duration expires or a target successfully resists infestation. If a dimensional anchor, lesser planar binding, planar binding or greater planar binding spell is cast on the current target of the parasite, the creature will not be able to switch bodies when the current host dies. Instead, the spell will end and the creature will dissipate harmlessly. The banishment spell will end the effects of the elemental parasite spell immediately if cast upon the parasites current host. Material Components: A gemstone (400 gp value).

Elemental Parasite
Conjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes (see below) This spell calls into being a tiny creature of elemental power that appears within the selected target and begins burrowing through their body with frenzied hunger. This parasite consumes the host from within and, after killing its rst target, immediately leaps to another body to begin the process again. When the spell is rst cast, the target(s) of the elemental parasite are allowed a Fortitude save. If successful, the target rejects the infestation and suffers no further ill effects from the spell; the spell ends immediately. The same applies to spell resistance if a targets spell resistance is not overcome, the target is not affected by the elemental parasite and if any target successfully resists the spell, it ends immediately. When a target is infested, he immediately suffers 1d4 points + 1 point per three caster levels of Constitution damage. At the beginning of each round thereafter, the target suffers another 1d4 points of Constitution damage. If killed by this damage, the targets body is utterly destroyed and only a true resurrection spell can return him to life. On the round following a targets death, the creature created by the elemental parasite spell attempts to launch itself into a new, randomly selected host within 20 feet of the original target. The caster has no control over which host the infestation will choose after he selects the initial target. The new host is allowed a

Elemental Rupture
Evocation [Varies, see below] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: 50 ft. radius spread Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: Yes This spell causes a spreading cloud of damaging elemental energy to ood the area of effect. At the time the spell is cast, you may decide which descriptor to apply to the spell from this list: acid, cold, electricity, re or sonic. Any creature caught in the elemental rupture suffers 1d8 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d8); this damage is suffered again every round the creature remains in the area of effect and no saving throw is allowed to reduce damage in subsequent rounds. Any creature that makes a successful Reex save when the elemental rupture is rst cast must, on their

next action, take a full move out of the area of effect if possible. Creatures that cannot move or are not able to move outside the area of effect, will suffer full damage on the following round. Material Component: A small golden barrel, worth at least 200 gp, crushed during the casting of the spell.

Target: One creature Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You can transform a creatures body, including your own, into pure elemental matter. The target of this spell retains all its special attacks and abilities, including spellcasting, and gains some of the abilities of the element it transformed into: * Air: Flies at double its speed with perfect manoeuvrability. Can squeeze through narrow spaces and gains a damage reduction of 5/-. Suffers a 2 penalty to saves against earth-based attacks. Earth: Moves at half its speed but gains a +4 natural armour bonus to AC and damage reduction 5/-. Suffers a 2 penalty to saves against air-based attacks. Fire: Every melee or unarmed attack does 1d6 points of additional re damage and gains a damage reduction of 5/-. Suffers a 2 penalty to saves against water-based attacks. Water: Swims at double its speed and ignores all penalties for ghting underwater. Can breathe as if beneting from the water breathing spell and gains damage reduction 5/-. Suffers a 2 penalty to saves against re-based attacks.

Elemental Sample
Conjuration (Creation) [Varies] Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Create 1-foot cubic block of elemental substance Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex negates (re only) Spell Resistance: Yes Elemental sample creates a small block of elemental matter (air, earth, re or water). The effects of this conjuration vary depending on the type of elemental matter created. * Air: The conjured air disperses into air or re. However, if used underwater or underground, it creates a bubble of breathable air, allowing a character to breathe for 1d6 rounds before it is spent. Earth: The conjured earth forms into a block of stone, crumbling into dust after a 1d3 rounds. You can drop it on an opponent, given the right conditions (see Falling Damage in the DMG; treat the stone as weighing 15 lbs.), or you could use it as a stepping-stone or for any number of other possible uses. Fire: The conjured re snuffs out in 1 round. If used against an opponent and the opponent fails a Reex save, the re deals 1d3 points of damage. Conjured re can ignite combustibles, which burn for 1d2 rounds before extinguishing. Water: Conjured water can snuff small res (replace or smaller) or provide drinking water. If not used immediately, the conjured water evaporates in 1d6 rounds.

The creature can return to normal at will before the spell ends but cannot take the elemental shape again. Casting this spell on an elemental of the opposite element does 3d6 points of damage to it. When you use this spell to transform a creature into an air, earth, re or water creature, it is a spell of that type. For example, transforming a creature into water means you cast a Water spell. Material Component: A fan (air), a stful of sand (earth), dry tinder (re) or a few drops of water (water).

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell enchants one of the casters hands with an invisible aura of charm magic. By making a touch attack with this aura, the caster can affect targets with the same effect as an elixir of love. The DC save is determined by this spell as opposed to the listed for the potions save. The duration of the charm created by successful uses of this touch is 1d3 hours, as with the potion. The caster may, at his option, transmit jealousy with some or all of these touches. If this is done, those affected by the spell will be hostile towards each other and require little provocation to ght. The jealousy will not make targets murderous if that is not in their nature, but nonlethal combat is likely. Although the enamouring effect of this spell is permanent, the jealousy fades when the charm does. Material Component: An elixir of love, which is consumed without effect just before the spell is cast. (If the spell is interrupted during casting, the potion immediately has its normal effect.)

This is identical to lingering daze, except the duration of the effect is permanent.

Enforcer I
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: See text If the caster casts another spell in the same round, the level of that spell is considered to be 5 for purposes of determining the save DC, if any. This spell does not affect spells of 6th level or higher.

Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 As enforcer I, except that the spell level is considered to be 7 for purposes of determining the save DC, if any. This spell does not affect spells of 8th level or higher.

The encumbering load weighs 20 pounds per level of the caster. If this spell causes the recipients encumbrance to exceed heavy carrying capacity, he loses all Dexterity bonuses and can only move 5 feet per round. Material Component: 1 ounce of lead.

height of 30 feet Any creature caught in the initial burst suffers 5d6 hit points of damage, though a successful Fortitude save reduces this damage by one-half. For each creature in the area of effect that is killed by the engulng doom, the radius of the emanation increases by 5 feet at the beginning of the following round and the damage caused increases by 1d6. If, for example, 3 targets are killed by the spell, at the beginning of the next round the radius increases by 15 feet, and the damage caused increases by 3d6 to cause a total of 8d6 hit points of damage to all creatures caught in the area of effect. The maximum damage this spell can cause in a given round is 25d6 hit points, but there is no maximum to the area of effect. Material Components: A globe of obsidian wrapped in alternating bands of gold, silver and copper (1,000 gp value).

Duration: 1 round per level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell takes a complete set of eight chess pawns carved of semi-precious stone (see Focus below) and transforms them into Medium sized animated objects under your control (statistics are found in Appendix I (see pg. 241)). The pawns are scattered in front of you as you cast this spell, with each animated creature appearing in a different 5-foot square anywhere within the range of this spell. The pawns transform into representations of foot soldiers, armed with either a one-handed melee weapon and a heavy shield or any two-handed melee weapon, as you wish. The armament must be simple or martial and of a type you are familiar with; all pawns created by a given spell must be equipped identically. Focus: A set of semi-precious stone chess pawns valued at 240 gold pieces. If an animated pawn is slain during the duration of this spell, it must be replaced at a cost of 30 gold before this particular set of pawns can be used as a focus again.

Enhance Bond
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Unlimited Target: Your familiar Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This simple magic is invaluable to a spellcaster with a familiar. First, the spell adds 1d4+1 effective levels to the caster for purposes of determining what special abilities his familiar possesses. Second, the familiar gains the casters level in temporary hit points for the duration of the spell. The familiar cannot go over the casters own hit point total with this increase, however. Third, the bond between them becomes so strong that healing (or harming) magic applied to one is also applied at half effect to the other. Material Component: A small piece of the familiars fur (or scales, claws, or other cast-off body part). Focus: A small silver locket (at least 50 gp) to hold the material components.

Envys Glance
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Target: 1 target within 60 ft. Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell magically assesses the targets net worth. This includes the value of any armour, coins, gems, magical items, objects of art, weapons or any other sellable good the creature owns. It does not assess the value of so called permanent assets (houses, lands and so on). The assessment gives you a number between 91% and 110% of the targets actually worth. The Games Master secretly rolls 1d20 and adds the result to 90 to determine the nal result. This spell can be used to assess the value of a specic object within range instead. Material Component: Two balls, one made of lead and the other of wood.

is simply far too much information in the casters mind to allow the kind of concentration required to write down everything he has learned. More narrow topics are acceptable though. For example, an 18th level elven caster could ght dark elf warriors for seven rounds, hitting with every attack, teleport to a forge in his home village on the eighth round without any chance of error and spend the next 10 rounds crafting a awless suit of elven chain mail. This spell has only one downside; the caster can barely think about anything other than the many facets and complications of his own race. Thus, any roll made regarding another race is at a 10 penalty. If the elf in the above example was also attacked by a Huge monstrous spider, he would be hard pressed to defend himself and unlikely to make a saving throw against its poison.

Equation of Man
Divination (Contingent Transmutation) Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level This spell has as many different names as there are races that know of it. The ultimate form of social divination, equation of man opens the caster to the innite knowledge of how his own race thinks, acts and lives. Everything about the casters race, from its history to its myriad social traditions, is laid bare and revealed in one moment of incredible revelation. While this immense amount of knowledge is shortlived and impossible for a mortal mind to retain for long, it can be put to good use while it lasts. A caster under the effect of equation of man cannot fail an attack roll, skill check or saving throw regarding his race. A caster with a template (for example, a lich) applies this ability to those of his original race. This ability extends to Craft and Profession skill checks if the subject matter is specic to his race, though appropriate materials must be on hand. The power of this spell goes even further. Any task other than combat that this spell applies to can be completed within its duration, no matter how long it would normally take to complete, as long as the caster can dedicate more than half the spells duration to that task. The sole exception to this is an attempt to chronicle the vast knowledge gained in any way. There

Estimation
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped emanation Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes

A useful way of determining information in an area, estimation lets a caster state any type of object or creature within the area of the spell. The caster is then made immediately aware of how many of the named things are within the area. If there are less than 10 of the stated items with in the burst, the caster gets an exact count. If there are between 10 and 100, the number is to the nearest 10. Between 100 and 1,000 is to the nearest 100 and beyond 1,000 the count is to the nearest 1,000. If the stated item exists in quantities of 100,000 or more, or does not exist at all, the spell fails. The caster also gets a general idea of where the objects are. This awareness grants a +2 bonus to any Search or Spot checks made to nd the targets.

Spell Descriptions

Target: Creature touched Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes This variation of temporal stasis allows you to set a condition that breaks the subjects state of suspended animation. During the casting of this spell, you speak aloud the condition that breaks this enchantment. The specic condition could be the next solar eclipse, a particular day or year, the death of a ruler, the birth of a child or the invasion of an army. You can cast this spell on yourself. This spell, unlike temporal stasis, cannot be removed by dispel magic (unless the caster has a higher caster level than you). Material Component: A powder composed of diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire dust, sand, and crushed rose petals. The total value of the dust must be at least 4,000 gp. XP Cost: 500 XP.

one round per caster level even if it does not possess the ability to do so. Targets under the magical effects of something that renders them incorporeal have that effect suppressed for one round per caster level. Any dispelling effect can negate this spell on a target during its duration. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: Victims of this spell are rendered unable to end this spell prematurely through their own abilities or spells. Magical items they may possess work normally.

Ethereal Sleep
Transmutation Level: Brd 4, Rgr 4, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Until awakened The caster recites a verse that enables this spell just before he goes to sleep and, as he enters the dreamworld, his body becomes ethereal. He is now located somewhere between the two worlds, and cannot be harmed by normal weapons, as he is now both invisible and incorporeal, for as long as he sleeps. This spell is useful against assassins, though it does not make the caster invincible, merely ethereal. Many adventurers nd a good use for this spell when they are travelling as it guards them when they sleep in the wild lands. Note that this spell does not send the target to sleep. The spell takes effect when the target falls to sleep naturally. Material Component: An item which has been carried by one who was ethereal (20gp).

Ethereal Caress
Transmutation (Focused) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Huge or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes
Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack which may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. This spell has two effects. The rst is to render you able to touch and be touched by incorporeal entities. This does not allow you to affect an incorporeal being with a weapon or spell (other than this one, as noted below), but any grapple or touch initiated by you or by the creature in question can be effective during the duration of this spell.

The main effect of ethereal caress is to impart the spell ethereal jaunt on those touched. The victims do not have control over the spell, and remain incorporeal for one round per caster level. If the target is already incorporeal, the caress forces the being to manifest for

impossible to open an extradimensional pit under the feet of another person. Creatures or objects can fall into the pit after it has been created however, and doing so will cause them to enter the extradimensional space. A person who has fallen into the pit will never hit the ground and can conceivably be rescued if the rescuers can get to him before he starves or thirsts to death. When the spells duration ends, the pit opening disappears. Another extradimensional pit cast on the same area of ground will reopen to the same pit however, so rescuing trapped comrades is still conceivable. Even though the pit is bottomless, it has no actual effect on anything (oors of a dungeon and so on) that is beneath the location where it is created. Material Component: A small stone with a hole through it.

Exploding Bones
Transformation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature (see below) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fort negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell infuses the target with a blast of electrical energy that causes its bones to explode out of its esh, showering those nearby with aming bits of gruesome shrapnel. If the target fails its saving throw, it suffers 8d6 damage as its bones explode from the power of the electrical current. All creatures within 15 feet of the target must make a Reex save (cover bonuses apply to this save) to avoid suffering one-half the damage taken by the original target as shards of sparking bone rip through the area. The original target also suffers Strength and Dexterity damage equal to half caster level due to the tremendous damage caused to his skeletal structure. Material Components: A bone wrapped in 75 gp worth of copper wire.

Eyes of Darkness
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: 20 ft. Area: Punishing gaze in a cone shaped emanation Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Eyes of darkness causes the casters eyes to become deep sinks of shadow. Opponents within range of the spell must attempt a saving throw each round at the beginning of their turn in initiative order. Those that succeed are unaffected. Those that fail lose 20 feet off of their normal visual range and have a 20% miss chance against any target they attempt to attack. This effect lasts for 1 hour per level of the caster. The effect is cumulative, so if the target fails two saving throws, his miss chance increases to 40% and so on. When the characters miss chance becomes 100%, he is considered blind for the duration of the spell. While under the affect of eyes of darkness, the character may, as a full round action, focus the darkness in his eyes on a single target within range. This target may make a Will save. If he fails, he is immediately blinded for 1 hour per level of the caster. Focus: An eye carved out of star sapphire. This costs a minimum of 700 gp.

Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Eyes of re causes the casters eyes to blaze with arcane ames. Opponents within range of the spell must attempt a saving throw each round at the beginning of their turn in initiative order. Those that succeed are unaffected. Those that fail take 1d6 + 1 every two levels (maximum +10) re damage. The spell can be used to ignite ammable materials. The material must be within 20 feet of the caster. Igniting an object requires the caster to spend a full round action focusing his gaze on the target. At the end of the action, the object must make a Will save or burst into ame. This does not cause inammable objects to ignite or deal damage to living creatures. Focus: A ruby with a value no less than 500 gp.

Eyes of the Cat


Divination (Contingent Transmutation) Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 5 rounds Eyes of the cat grants the caster a preternatural ability to see motion and a sensitivity to light. For the duration of the spell, you gain low-light vision. If you already possess low-light vision, this spell does not affect or augment it. In addition, you gain a +1 competence bonus to Armour Class against attacks you can see. If the caster possesses a feline familiar, the duration on the spell is doubled. Material Component: A cats whisker and a small piece of tigers-eye valued at 1 gp.

Opponents within range of the spell must attempt a saving throw each round at the beginning of their turn in initiative order. Those that succeed are unaffected. Those that fail are dazzled (1 penalty on attack rolls, Search and Spot checks) for the round. While under the effect of eyes of light, the character radiates light as a torch. Furthermore he may, as a full round action, focus the light in his eyes to illuminate a single target within 20 feet. This target gains a 2 penalty to his AC. The illuminated target may make a Reex save to negate the effect. Focus: A diamond with a value of no less than 300 gp.

Divination [Sonic] Level: Brd 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Area: 30 ft. radius emanation centred on you. Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You gain the ability to automatically sense the location of any being that breathes within the area of effect. You also gain a +4 bonus to all Listen skill checks for the duration of the spell. This ability pierces invisibility, the Hide skill and the Move Silently skill. It does not tell you what someone is doing, but it does tell you where he is and where he moves. You lose cannot detect beings if you suffer from the deafened condition or if the target is in an area affected by a magical silence of some kind.

In addition to the above ability, for the duration of eyes of the retriever, the caster is rendered immune to all spells or abilities which cause blindness and gains a +2 profane bonus to all saves against sight based spells, spell-like effects and abilities. Further, they gain a +4 profane bonus to all Spot and Search checks for the duration of the spell. At the end of the spells duration, the casters eyes regrow themselves in their sockets. Material Component: Two black diamonds of at least 1,000 gold pieces value. The diamonds are consumed in the casting.

False History
Abjuration Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Object touched Duration: 1 year/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: See text This spell allows the caster to ward a specic object so that anyone who touches the object or tries to divine its nature believes it to be something else. Legend lore and similar spells return false information about the object, marking it as something it is not. Anyone handling the item must make a Will save or be convinced that it is not the object he seeks. The spell goes so far as to give false information to someone using bardic lore, Appraise or a Knowledge skill to try to recognize the object or its value. For instance, a secluded wizard has endured several attempts to steal a valued statuette, so he nally decides to take some measure against this annoyance. He casts false history on the statue so that it appears to be a valueless reproduction to anyone attempting to discern its value or identity. The warded object does not change appearance in any way; it is the information given by knowledge or divination spells that is changed. Therefore, the wizards tome remains brown with gold trim, but the bard who just failed his save remembers that the book he seeks is black with red trim. Focus: The object to be warded.

In their place appear multifaceted, glittering black orbs; the eyes of the dreaded retriever.

False Loves Kiss


Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 5 minutes Range: Touch Target: One humanoid Duration: 1 day (see below) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes False loves kiss is a more powerful version of charm person. Preparing false loves kiss involves casting the spell over a mixture of striped toadstool poison (see DMG) and a half-pint of wine. This creates a clear, wax-like substance that is applied to the users lips. The user must then kiss the subject of the spell, who gets a Will save to avoid the effects. If the save is failed, the target sees the user as a friend, much like the charm person spell. The duration of false loves kiss may be extended by one day if the user makes a successful Diplomacy check opposed by the targets Sense Motive. This check must be made before the spells duration ends, and the user and target must be together for at least one hour before the check can be made. Only one such check may be made per day. The waxy gloss created by this spell remains potent for up to one day or until the spell is discharged. Material Components: The aforementioned striped toadstool poison and half-pint of wine.

change is up to you. You could add or obscure a minor feature, such as a mole or a beard, or make the subject look like an entirely different person. The spell does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen form. It does not alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of the subject. You could also mask the real appearance of an object making it appear 10% more or less valuable than it actually is worth. Items may also be made to appear larger or smaller (within two size categories of their actual size). This spell can even make them appear as any item within the size range given, although a battleaxe made to look like a dagger still functions as a battleaxe. If the character uses this spell to create a disguise, the character gets a +10 bonus on the Disguise check. Note: Creatures get Will saves to recognise the glamour as an illusion if they interact with it (such as by touching the character and having that not match what they see, in this case of this spell).

A rare and precious spell, familiaform grants a powerful ability to the familiar, the power of wild shape. Once cast, familiaform grants three transformations as per the druidical ability, all of which must be taken within 24 hours or they are lost. Transforming back into the familiars base form counts as one of these, but each form can be kept indenitely until the duration ends. When the spell ends, the familiar reverts to base form. Each transformation heals the familiar an amount equal to the caster level in hit points. The size and type of creature the familiar can turn into depends on the caster level of its bonded master. If the caster is 9th to 12th level, the familiar can take the form of any Animal with size between Tiny and Large. At 13th through 16th, it can become a Plant creature. At 17th +, it can change to become any Animal or Plant between Diminutive and Huge. Familiaform is gained through a partnership between the caster and a druid. Focus: A small consecrated token worn somewhere on the animals person. If this token is lost or destroyed, it must be replaced by the same druid. If the druid is dead or unavailable, the caster must research another

Spell Descriptions

Fastroke permits a subject to slip through the water at great speed, at almost unbelievable rates. Any creature you touch whilst casting faststroke will move at double their normal swim rate whilst in any liquid. Material Component: A pinch of sh scales.

Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell requires a dangerous action for most spellcasters, a successful melee attack. Since the caster must make true physical contact, this attack is not considered a touch attack, and thus all bonuses to Armour Class apply. If the Will save against this spell is successful, the target remains unaware that favours focus tried to affect him, though he may have seen the spellcasting or been aware of the attack. Once the caster has touched someone, favours focus comes into effect for that target. Until dispelled, a special +1 favour bonus applies to the DC of any enchantment spells the caster uses on the target. Additionally, line of sight is no longer required if the caster is somehow aware of the target (now called the favoured) within range. Only one favours focus, regardless of spell level, can be in effect on a given target at any one time. If a second favours focus targets someone already affected by one, both are instantly dispelled. A caster can have only one favoured per caster level at one time. To create another favoured, one of the others must be released. The caster determines which one. If any favoured has the favour dispelled or otherwise escapes it, the caster knows immediately (although no other information is relayed; the caster knows only of the spells loss). Focus: A gem of any colour worth 100 gp. The caster must have the gem on his person to use the favours bonus. No two favoured of the same caster may be represented by the same kind of gem.

Fatal Attraction
Conjuration (Teleportation) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: Target creature or 5 ft. square Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude to resist for one round Spell Resistance: Yes The target designated by this spell becomes a vortex and inexorably draws creatures into its grasp. At the end of the round in which the spell is cast, all creatures within 20 feet of the target who fail their Fortitude save are instantly teleported 10 feet closer to the target. At the end of the round after the spell is cast, all creatures within 30 feet of the target (including those in the original area of effect) who fail their Fortitude save are instantly teleported 20 feet closer to the target. At the end of every subsequent round, the affected area expands by 10 feet and the distance teleported also increases by 10 feet On the fourth round, all creatures within 50 feet who fail their saving throw are teleported 40 feet toward the target. If the original target of this spell was a creature, it may not move for the duration of the spell and suffers damage each round as noted below. Any creature that is teleported to the target area immediately takes 5d6 hit points of damage and is then teleported 50 feet in a random direction. Note that the target of this spell is never teleported, but suffers 1d6 hit points of damage each round. A successful Fortitude save will resist the damage for a single round and a save is allowed each round until the spells duration expires. Material Components: A magnet wrapped in goldembroidered silk, value 300 gp.

Feast of Flesh
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 30 minutes Range: Touch Target: Living humanoid touched Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: No Feast of Flesh has some similarities with ghoul touch, although its effects are far more long lasting and serious. Owing to the grim material component required, few except the vilest of necromancers will ever cast it. It opens up a channel, not just to the Negative Energy Plane, but also to the primal essence of ghoulishness on that plane. For the duration of the spell, you are granted the ability to paralyse your opponents with your unarmed strike attacks. This paralysis lasts 1d6+2 minutes. Elves are immune to it. Your victims may make Fortitude saving throws to resist the effects of the paralysis. All your unarmed strike attacks gain a bonus of +2 to hit and do normal damage without penalty (rather than nonlethal damage). If you kill anyone with your unarmed strike attacks while affected by this spell, you may either consume their corpse there and then to gain an additional hour added to the duration of your feast of esh, or leave the corpse be; in this case it may rise as a ghoul itself after 1d4 days (see MM). In addition to your paralysing touch, you gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting magic or sleep spells for the duration of the spell. You work yourself into such a frenzy that it is very difcult to control you with magic.

opponents Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You create a tendril of ame from an existing re source that lashes out at any foe that you designate within 20 feet. Its attack bonus is equal to +5 (+6 for the tendrils Strength, 1 for its size) + your caster level + your Intelligence or Charisma modier (for wizards or sorcerers). If the tendril hits a foe with a touch attack, it attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus is the same as its attack bonus, except with a +4 size modier instead of a 1). If it wins the grapple check, it constricts, dealing 3d6 points of re damage each round the hold is maintained. Directing the spell to a new target is a move action. The tendril can be attacked. If reduced to 0 or less hit points, it dissipates and the spell ends. The tendril is AC 20 and has hit points equal to yours. The tendril has damage reduction 10/magic. Material Component: A fragment of a red dragon scale. Focus: The existing re source.

In addition to performing all the normal functions of an unseen servant, the felonious friend can use Sleight of Hand to pick pockets as a rogue with a skill bonus equal to the casters level + 3. This ability is subject to all the normal restrictions, though a Spot check that beats the Sleight of Hand check only reveals that something is being takenit does not reveal the invisible rogue.

Those bearing this mark gain a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity. They also possess the ability to cast from the palm of the hand a ray of re that deals 3d6 points of re damage, if a ranged touch attack strikes the target within medium range (100 feet + 10 feet/level). Using this ray of re ability is a standard action that immediately dismisses the re brand.

This version allows a Reex save for half damage, but success on the save assumes the creature has dropped or is no longer holding the item.

You may substitute sonic or acid as with reshift, and the elemental damage dealt gains a +1 bonus for every 4 full caster levels you have attained. Using this spell also grants the weapon in question a +1 enchantment bonus if it did not already have one. Damage dealt by objects, if you choose to cast it on something other than a weapon, is increased to 3d6 of the appropriate elemental type. All details regarding saves are the same as reshift.

Fleeting Genius
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: One round Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The caster of eeting genius gains an incredible, highly focused ability to perform a single task with awless precision. The caster picks one skill, saving throw category or attack type. For the duration of the spell, rolls of this type cannot fail if a roll of 40 can succeed. If a 40 would still result in failure, this spell simply cannot help the caster. Attacks aided by eeting genius should still be rolled, as any critical threat (whether it would hit or not with the casters true bonuses) automatically becomes a critical hit, without the need for a second roll. This roll must be made before the end of the casters next round. Focus: A specially prepared amulet of platinum and amethyst worth 2,000 gp.

Flash Bombs
Conjuration (Creation) [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Targets: One bead per two caster levels Duration: 10 min./level or until used Saving Throw: Reex half; see text Spell Resistance: No You turn ordinary glass beads or marbles into bombs that you can detonate on command. You can turn one bead for every two levels into a ash bomb. If you are within 50 feet and speak a word of command, each bead instantly bursts into ame. The ames shoot out in a two-foot radius (effectively one 5-foot square is covered by the ames) and cause 1d4 points of re damage to anyone caught in the area, as well as igniting any easily combustible materials (such as clothing or paper, but not wood) in the area. A creature caught in the blast may attempt a Reex save for half damage. Flash bombs are usually placed by hand in re resistant surfaces, either dirt or small metal saucers, in areas where there are no audience members. They are often used as part of a reworks display or during a performers entrance or exit. Flash bombs can be thrown, having a range increment of 5 feet. However, they only detonate upon use of the command word, not on impact, so timing is of the essence if they are going to be used as weapons in this manner. Furthermore, they cause no actual damage when thrown. A better tactic is to roll them under the feet of enemies. This can be done individually, but they are usually all rolled into the same area (same 5-foot square) so that their combined effect is more devastating (they do

If the subject survives this attack, they will regain all lost levels after a number of hours equal to your caster level. If the subject gains as many or more negative levels than it has Hit Dice, then it is automatically slain and within one round, transformed into one of the undead. The type of undead is chosen by you but cannot have more Hit Dice than the subject originally had in life. The undead creature is under your permanent control until destroyed, though no more than one undead creature may be controlled through the use of this spell at any one time. Undead creatures targeted by this spell will have any lost hit points restored, damaged or severed limbs replaced and become immune to turning attempts for 1 hour per level of the caster. Material Component: Heart of sentient creature that died of disease, famine, violence or magic.

Creatures with a Challenge Rating two or more lower than the characters level register as weak, those with a Challenge Rating within one step of the characters level register as worthy, and those with a Challenge Rating two or more higher than the characters level register as powerful. The spell grants no information as to why a creature has a certain power level and cannot take account of exceptional circumstances, such as a 1st-level orc who has just picked up a +5 vorpal axe.

The ames themselves are one foot high. The ames created are quite hot, but not as damaging as a wall of re. They deal 1d6+1 points of re damage per round to any creature within the area of effect. Those within 10 feet of the sheet of ame, but not within it, suffer 1d3 points of damage per round. These ames are particularly damaging to undead, dealing twice as much damage to such creatures.

The metal affected by this spell takes on all of the properties of the metal being mimicked, including weight. The duration of the spell depends on the metal being mimicked: copper lasts for 2 minutes, silver for 1 minute, gold for 5 rounds and platinum for 1 round.

Whenever an affected creature fails an attack or skill check that involves a manufactured weapon or tool, if must make a Reex save or drop it. An affected creature can move at only up to one-half its normal speed without having to make a Reex save to avoid falling prone. In cases where a skill check also involves movement (such as climbing, jumping or swimming), ignore the speed restriction but apply the check penalty noted above. If a creature falls prone for any reason while affected by this spell, it must make a Reex save to get up again. An affected creature must make a Reex save to draw a weapon, pick up a dropped item, retrieve a stored item and the like. If the save fails, the creature drops the item in its space. To cast a spell or use a special ability that requires any action, an affected creature must succeed on a Concentration check with a DC equal to the foozle spells save DC. If the check fails, the creature loses the spell or expends a use of the special ability with no effect. Whenever foozle prevents a creature from completing an action, the creatures turn ends. Material Component: A vial containing wine or other spirits and a fruit or vegetable peel.

The metal affected by this spell takes on all of the properties of the substance being mimicked, including weight. As with fools coin the spells duration depends on what metal is being mimicked: copper lasts for 2 minutes/level, silver for 1 minute/level, gold for 5 rounds/level and platinum for 1 round/level.

The object or objects affected by this spell take on the appearance of extraordinary value to those who behold them. A wooden practice sword could be made to appear as a masterwork or even enchanted blade. A granite pillar could be made to appear encrusted in gems and gilded in silver. Each item in the fools trove requires its own separate Will disbelief save to recognise what lies beneath. Note that this spell can be cast to make valuable objects appear almost worthless.

Spell Descriptions

You imbue the target ink with powerfully poisonous energy. If the ink is used during the duration of the spell, any writing produced with it is permeated with the energy. Once written and the ink dried, this effect is permanent. At the time the spell is cast, you may designate up to one unique creature per level that is immune from the effects of the poisonous script. Anything written with the ink after the duration of the spell expires is normal script. Once the ink dries, anyone reading the text other than you or a designated creature is immediately exposed to a magically created ingestion poison. The poison has a Fortitude DC equal to 10 + your caster level + your relevant ability modier. The initial and secondary damage of the poison are death. Merely looking at the text does not trigger the effect. It is only triggered if the creature actually reads the writing. Some shady spellcasters have been known to write their spellbooks entirely in forbidden script. Material Component: A mixture of aged bloodyberry juice and wyvern blood with a total value of at least 250 gp that is mixed with the ink at the time of casting.

Will I be alive tomorrow? is a pretty basic question but it is also fairly vague. In this case, the answer could be If you are careful, yes.

Foretelling

Unlike lesser foretelling, the question can be anything, not merely one answerable by yes or no. The question can also be contingent on as many as three different conditions. Unfortunately, a wider scope means a greater chance for error. When casting foretelling, there i s a chance for an incorrect or misleading answer (25% minus 1% per caster level). The answer will always be brief, as simple as possible and may not entirely answer the question if it is too vague or open-ended.

Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous This spell attributes its level to its incredibly wide range of uses. It is similar to foretelling, except that the question can have any kind of phrasing and offers a complete, perfectly accurate answer (though it is not always easy to understand). Instead of this ability, greater foretelling can be used to duplicate the effects of any divination spell of 7th level or below, foregoing any need for material components other than those required by this spell. Experience point costs, if any, must be paid as normal. Alternately, greater foretelling can be cast immediately after the foresight spell to increase the duration of the foresight to 24 hours. Greater foretelling has no other effect if cast in this way. Material Component: A single gold coin carried by the caster for more than a day.

the realm of possibility that they can make their destination by nightfall. If the question had been Will we make it to Caer Olvran? the spell will likely fail. While the party is only a few hours from its bone-littered streets, there are packs of dire wolves and the deadly guardian that protects the only entrance to its valley to contend with. The party is certainly not assured of being able to defeat what lies ahead, and so the question is too general to allow for a denitive answer.

Forsaken
Abjuration Level: Drd 7, Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One divine spell caster Duration: Concentration up to 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Forsaken impedes all contact that a target creature has with his deity by temporarily cutting the conduit through which such powers ow. Upon a successful casting, the target is entitled to a Will saving throw. If he fails, the victim is unable to cast any divine spell or use any spell-like or supernatural ability that is of divine nature, such as turning undead. Paladins, priests, rangers and druids are adversely affected. The innate abilities of outsiders are not affected by this spell because they carry the spark of divinity within themselves. However, an outsiders divine spells are still gifted to them by the deity they represent, and they are subject to being forsaken. The caster of forsaken must maintain constant concentration in order to maintain the spell. When the concentration lapses, for whatever reason, the victims divine connection returns.

Foretelling, Lesser
Divination Level: Brd1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous A basic divination, lesser foretelling allows the caster to ask a simple yes or no question and get an answer through the magical perception of probabilities and fate. While this spell gives as accurate a reading as possible, the question cannot be a complicated one. Lesser Foretelling only allows for two conditions and if the wording makes it impossible for the answer given to be a yes or no, the spell fails. The spell also fails if the question is too general or there are too many circumstances to allow for a clear outcome to base an answer on. An example of a question allowable by lesser foretelling would be If we follow the path we are on, will we make it to Caer Olvran by nightfall? Following the path and nightfall are the two conditions and the answer would be yes since the party is close enough to reach the doomed ruins of Caer Olvran at their current rate of movement. This answer is not a guarantee of getting to the Caer but it is well within

Any spells currently active in the area that determine their effects by means of allies will likely fail because of this, and spells that affect enemies will attempt to affect everyone within the 50 foot radius area of this spell. Targets of fractured unity will not disengage from melee to heal others, request aid of any sort, or offer help to others. If an affected spellcaster has benecial spells that could affect himself as well as others, he will cast them on himself in preference to sharing them. (This does not force him to cast these spells; it merely keeps the target from wasting them on other beings if the opportunity to use the spells arises.) Any feat or tactic that relies on supporting allies (such as anking bonuses or rogues being able to sneak attack a anked target) also fails to work during this spell. Material Component: A broken contract at least 10 years old and special oils worth 100 gp. The contract erupts in ame and is instantly consumed when the spell is cast.

Fortify Weapon
Abjuration [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: Weapon touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) When this spell is cast, a weapon touched is granted a hardness of 40 which cannot be bypassed by any non-magical means. This eld also allows the weapon to be used for Sunder attempts regardless of the defending weapons bonus, though it adds no bonus to damage and does not actually make the weapon magical for any other purpose. Material component: A pinch of dragon scale dust (any colour) or a vial of rust from a destroyed iron golem.

Friendship
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Essential to good relations with those the caster charms, this spell makes the friendship effect of an Enchantment (Charm) spell (assuming it has one) permanent and nonmagical. This amiability becomes a natural part of the creature but it is not enforced in any way. Thus, actions by the caster can easily disrupt or undo the fragile bonds of this new friendship. Likewise, if the caster takes steps to strengthen the relationship, the target is likely to remain friendly indenitely. Ultimately, this spell is what the caster makes of it. Material Component: A rose petal, a gold coin and a knotted silk cord.

Fortify Armour
Abjuration [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: Armour touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) When this spell is cast on armour, it gains a certain level of fortication as per the armour special ability. At caster level 7th 11th, the armour gains light fortication, at 12th 14th, the armour gains moderate fortication and at higher caster levels it gains heavy fortication. Material Component: A pinch of dragon scale dust (any colour) or vial of rust from a destroyed iron golem.

Frightful Presence

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

Range: 30 ft. Area: Cone shaped emanation Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: Yes With this spell the caster can create a fearsome manifestation that mimics the frightful presence special attack. This spell makes the casters very presence unsettling to foes. Opponents within 30 feet who can see the spellcaster must make a Will save versus the spells DC or become frightened for 3d6 rounds. This ability affects only opponents with fewer Hit Dice or levels than the caster has.

Material Component: The material component for this spell is a grasshopper trapped in a small glass bottle.

Future Imprisonment
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor / Wiz 9 Duration: One year Targets: One creature This spell is identical to future banishment in all ways excepted where specically noted. This spell is a curse worse than death for many as the caster projects the unfortunate victim into the future, never to return. This spell may transmit any single creature up to one year into the future. Material Component: A silver statuette of a grasshopper worth at least 500gp, trapped in a glass bottle.

Future Banishment
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Targets: One creature This spell is identical to the spell future dispatcher in all ways except where noted above. The spell may transmit any single creature ten minutes into the future.

Garble
Illusion (Glamour) Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft/2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This curse disguises the targets speech, which is useful for ending arguments and squelching well-spoken agitators. Whatever she says sounds completely normal to her, but is incomprehensible gibberish to everyone else. Most skills involving a common language are useless, though the target may be able to communicate with non-verbal methods such as touch, writing, sign language or facial expressions. The targets ability to cast spells with verbal components is unaffected. Material Component: A slice of lemon, which the caster must bite and suck the juices from.

Future Dispatcher
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor / Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Targets: One creature of Medium size or smaller Duration: 10 minutes Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes This powerful spell thrusts a single creature of Medium size or smaller forward in time ten minutes. The creature simply vanishes from his current location and reappears in exactly the same spot ten minutes later. The creature experiences no perceptible time lapse. Instead, the surrounding scene appears simply to change in an instant to that of the future. If the creatures original spot is occupied when the ten minutes elapses, it reappears in the nearest available location. For locations an equal distance from the original, roll randomly to determine in which spot the creature appears. While the creature is absent, no magic can affect it. A dispel magic targeted at the location where the creature was will bring it back prematurely as will an antimagic eld.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

This spell creates a shimmering veil, akin to a mirror, in the area in front of your face. The veil moves with you and you can see normally through it. Any gaze attack requiring that you meet the opponents eyes (such as that of a medusa or basilisk) is reected back upon the opponent and affects it normally unless the creature is immune to its own gaze attack (the creature gets a save to avoid the effects if its gaze normally allows one). Material Component: A small silver mirror.

Focus: A turtle shell with a carved image of a warrior.

Ghost Blade
Transmutation [Force] Level: Brd 4, Clr 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One melee or natural weapon Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance No The caster touches a melee or natural weapon such as a claw or a creatures teeth, suffusing it with raw magical force. So fortied, the weapon cleaves easily through its targets and acquires the ghost touch trait for the spells duration. The weapon ignores the hardness rating of inanimate objects, doing damage directly to an objects hit points. All attacks made by the affected weapon are resolved as touch attacks the targets armour, natural armour and shield bonuses are ignored, though magical bonuses are not. The weapons wielder may attack incorporeal targets without penalty. Focus: The weapon.

Gelid Stream
Transmutation [Cold] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Stream Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: Reex Negates Spell Resistance: Yes Your hand emanates a stream of chilling cold that reduces the mobility of any target it touches. A target that fails its Reex save may only take a single move or standard action each round for the duration of the spell and suffers 1d3 hit points of damage every round for the duration of the spell. Material Component: A small icicle carved from crystal (50 gp value).

Ghost Combatant
Illusion (Phantasm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 1, Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates. Spell Resistance: No You can make spirits whisper, make noises and create false movements behind a creature to make it believe it is anked. If the target fails its saving throw, it believes that there is another attacker behind it, occupying a space where no actual opponent exists, suffering all the effects of being anked (opponent gets a +2 bonus to attack rolls and is vulnerable to sneak attacks), even if it is not. Material Component: Iron lings, caltrops work as an alternative.

Ghost Armour
Conjuration (Summoning) [Force] Level: Clr 3, Rgr 4, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You call upon the protection of the spirits to guard you or another creature from harm. The spirit envelops the target creature, granting it a +1 deection bonus to AC and damage reduction 10/magic. Despite the spells name, the protecting creature is a spirit, not an undead, and it can be seen as a transparent gure juxtaposed to the protected creatures body. The spirit also protects the creature from incorporeal attacks and force effects as the mage armour spell.

Ghost Dance
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Brd 5, Clr 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: 1 summoned creature per caster level in a 30ft.-radius area Duration: 1 round/2 levels (D) Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: No You summon warrior spirits to aid you in combat. The number of spirits that arrive equals your caster level, with a maximum of 15. The spirits start attacking anything and everything inside the area of effect, dealing a total of 1d6 points of damage per spirit, and you assign how much damage each creature inside the area receives before the targets roll their Reex saving throws. Every creature that succeeds at the save receives only half of the damage you assigned for it. At the beginning of every round of the duration, you can reassign the damage dealt to each creature that remains inside the area as long as the total is the same that you rolled the rst time. Targets can keep rolling their Reex save normally to halve it. The warriors spirits are Neutral in alignment, and thus unaffected by protection or magic circle spells, but affected by dictum and word of chaos. If the spirits are targeted by spells such as banishment or dismissal, they use your Will save bonus to resist. Being incorporeal, they are affected normally by force barriers such as mage armour or wall of force. Material Component: Dust of coagulated blood.

A subject may only be affected by this spell through touch, though such contact may be light enough that they fail to recognise the action for what it is. At this point, they will transform into a ghoul in a number of days equal to their character level. During these days, they will physically change, becoming ever more ghoul-like as their skin sinks and begins to rot, their eyes pull back and glow, and their demeanour becomes more feral and bestial. At the end of this time, they will die and immediately rise as a ghoul of Chaotic Evil alignment. At the moment of touch and at the beginning of every day during the transformation, the subject may make a Fortitude save. Success will result in the breaking and nullication of this spell, returning the subject to normal within one day. Remove curse will have the same effect. Material Component: Dirt from an ancient grave.

Gilded Thoughts
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Once this spell is cast, the mind of the caster gains the ability to intercept any attempt to detect his thoughts, establish mental contact with his mind or take control of him through any spell with the Charm or Compulsion designators. The caster can then make the originator of these attempts see anything the caster wishes them to, making them believe that what they are seeing is the truth. A Sense Motive check on the part of the originator (DC 10 + caster level) can be made to see through this deception. If the deception is detected, the originator can then push past the gilded thoughts automatically and achieve whatever effect the original spell would have had. Focus: A gold ingot inscribed with the casters name and personal mark (25 gp).

Ghoulish Curse
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Targets: One living creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Ghouls may be created from those slain by many different means but the process of their creation via a curse upon the living is a dark secret few ever truly understand. Through the use of this spell, you may bring a terrible curse to your enemies, for by your touch alone you may set into motion a dread transformation that will ultimately result in both their death and subsequent rising as a ghoul.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

This spell continuously divines the best possible thing the caster can say, letting him know what people want to hear and what will accomplish any given communication-oriented goal. While it is in effect, the caster may make a Concentration check (DC 10 + the Difculty Class of the Diplomacy, Sense Motive, Gather Information or Bluff check normally required) to perform those skills awlessly. If the caster actually has ve or more ranks in one of these skills, he gains a +2 competence bonus to any Concentration check made to duplicate it. Focus: A gold ingot inscribed with the casters name and personal mark (25 gp).

Glimpse Past the Barrier


Divination [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 minute/level This spell allows the caster to see through any barrier or boundary within 60 feet so long as the barrier or obstruction was clear at some time in the past. Essentially, the caster sees through the door or barrier when it was open, shifting his senses back to the present on the other side. If the barrier has been rmly in place for longer than one day per caster level, the casters senses cannot bypass it.

Girding Call
Conjuration (Summoning) [Hanging] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: Special Range: Touch Target: A number of objects weighing less than 5 lbs./level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: No As apportation, but the spell has its effective weight limit increased to 5 pounds per caster level and the focus can be any number of objects that can be held, worn or wielded as long as the total weight is within the mentioned limit. When the girding call is cast, it summons the items, which appear held, worn or wielded in any way the caster wishes as a free action. This allows the caster to instantly go from unclad to fully garbed and armed with a single word. As with apportation, magical items can be used for foci. There is an alternate way to cast this spell. If done this way, it is not a hanging spell and takes 5 minutes to cast. What this form of the spell does is attempt to summon any one item within the above weight limit. The caster has to have a clear description of the item or have seen or touched it personally. He must make a Will save to succeed at this summoning. The DC for this save is 20 for a touched item, 25 for having seen it, or 30 if only a description is known. The DC is increased by 5 if the item is attended. If the save is failed, the spell fails. If the item is attended, it automatically gets its attendants Will save to resist this teleportation. If the spell fails, the attendant knows what attempted to happen and gets a general idea of distance and direction to the calls caster. Focus: Objects to be summoned.

Globe of Invulnerability, Major


Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 10 feet Area: 10-ft. radius spherical emanation, centred on you Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No As lesser globe of invulnerability, except that it excludes 5th level spells from its radius of effect. In addition, the globe now moves with you, assuming you move no faster than a single move during a given round. Moving faster or using any sort of teleportation effect does not disrupt this spell, but it is left motionless at the origin point of such a move and remains there for the duration of its effect.

Good Intentions
Transmutation [Evil] Level: Brd 2, Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance Yes This spell manifests itself every time the subject performs a good act such as healing or curing, showing kindness, acts of generosity or mercy or any conduct that shows the virtues of good. When performing any such act, the subject feels a painful clutching at his heart, as if it was being crushed from the inside by the burning hand of a end. The subject takes 1 point of damage and must make a Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d6 rounds (see DMG). The damage is from unholy power and cannot be averted by any form of energy resistance or damage reduction. The Fortitude save can be modied with any spell that improves saving throws. Good intentions can be dispelled or it can be removed by a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse or wish. Material Components: The eye of a crow sacriced under the full moon.

information fast enough. The caster may encourage the target to gossip about any subject that he pleases, including secret passwords, the strength and number of the kings entourage or the location of traps in the area. There is no limit to the information that the subject is willing to give out while under the inuence of this spell. Unlike charm person, the subject does not regard you as a friend any more than he did before you cast gossip. He merely sees you as someone who will listen to a good story or two. He will not take orders or commands and will take no action that he would not normally take except for revealing secrets that he knows.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

Grace allows the caster to bring a bubble of safe reality with him when he travels from one plane to another. For the duration of the spell, the caster is treated as if he was on his home plane for the purposes of all environmental and planar effects. For example, if a native of the Prime Material Plane went through a portal to the Negative Energy Plane, grace would protect him from the negative energy and the cold and would allow him to use positive energy spells without impediment. The grace effect manifests as a shimmering white sphere around the caster. Grace extends only to the caster and anyone else who travelled using the same portal effect; creatures on the new plane are untouched by grace.

manipulate objects, as their hands are now replaced by weapons. However, they will be able to make two attacks per round, once with each weapon, though they lose the competence bonus described above. Material Component: At least one melee weapon per skeleton or zombie that is touched. The fusion of metal and bone is a permanent process and so the weapon will be expended during the casting, even if the skeleton or zombie is later destroyed.

Granitehand
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The subjects sts become hard as stone. Its unarmed attacks deal lethal rather than nonlethal damage, and it considered armed for purposes of attacks of opportunity and threatening an area. Further, the creatures grip is strengthened, granting a +5 circumstance bonus to Climb checks and a +2 bonus to resist being disarmed. If the subject already deals lethal damage with an unarmed attack, it gains no further benets to its combat abilities. If it does not have ngers or similar digits, it gains no skill bonuses.

Graft Weapons
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Targets: One or more skeletons or zombies touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No

With this spell, you can graft all manner of melee weapons directly onto the forearms of the skeletons and zombies you have animated, fusing metal and bone to become one. This, in effect, replaces the hand and forearm of the skeleton or zombie with the weapon used as the material component, thus greatly enhancing the creatures combat capabilities. It now ghts with the weapon being an extension of its own body, granting a +1 competence bonus to all attack rolls in close combat. The skeleton or zombie also, naturally, now does the damage of the weapon rather than its own claw or slam attacks. Weapons grafted onto undead creatures in this way are considered natural weaponry. Regardless of the amount of times this spell is cast, you may only graft weapons onto 2 HD of skeletons or zombies per caster level. Only weapons of the same size class or smaller may be grafted onto skeletons or zombies by the use of this spell. However, you may choose to graft two weapons onto each skeleton or zombie, simply by providing two weapons for each as a material component. When this is done, the undead creatures so affected will no longer be able to pick up or

Grappling Chains
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10ft./level) Effect: 4 chains + 1 chain/3 caster levels, all within a 5 ft. area Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Reex negates Spell Resistance No This spell causes hooked chains to explode from the ground, latching onto a single victim. Four chains, plus one chain for every three caster levels, immediately spring into action. Each chain has a reach of 10 feet, AC 18, hardness 5 and 1 hp/caster level. The grappling chains cannot be targeted by an spell that does not deal damage.

122

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

The victim is allowed a single Reex saving throw to avoid the spell entirely. If the save is successful, the chains remain in place until the spells duration expires. Anyone entering the range of the chains reach must immediately make a Reex saving throw or suffer the effects detailed below. In the case of failure, the unfortunate target suffers damage as the chains constrict into his body, causing 1d6 points of damage per chain. Additionally, the victim is considered grappled by the chains. In each subsequent round, a held character may try to wrestle free, as if attempting to break free from a normal grapple. The chains have an effective combined Strength of 20 plus 1 per additional chain and are considered to be Large. A successful check results in the character breaking free from the chains. Chains can be destroyed to help in freeing a held character. Each chain that is destroyed lowers the Strength of the grappling chains by 1 point. When only four chains remain, each destroyed chain lowers the effective combined Strength of the chains by 5 points. Material Component: A single hooked chain taken from a torture chamber.

Grave Storm
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Drawing upon the lethal arcane energies of the grave, this spell brings into existence a horrid stream of grave dirt, putrid esh, maggots and bone dust. This material extends forward in a cone from your hand. It slams into living creatures, overwhelming them in a horrid spray of death magic that deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum of 20d6). Those that succeed on their Fortitude saving throws take half damage. In addition, any creatures killed by this damage rise as zombies under the casters control in 1d4 rounds. Treat these creatures as monsters you created with animate dead. Material Component: A stful of dirt taken from a freshly dug grave.

Great Knock
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: One door, box or chest with an area of up 25 square ft./level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None (See text) Spell Resistance No Much like the lesser knock spell, great knock breaks open stuck, barred, locked, held or arcane locked doors. In addition, the spell also opens secret doors and locked or trick-opening boxes or chests. Unlike knock, this spell shatters welds, shackles, chains and similar impediments (such as a portcullis), as well as the arcane lock spell. Furthermore, great knock removes all methods preventing egress through a single portal. The portal maybe up to 25 square feet in area per level of the caster. Like knock, the location of the door or item must be known. More signicantly, great knock completely destroys the door or item in the process of opening it. Anyone standing within 10 feet of the other side of a great knocked door or within 10 feet of a chest, and so on,

Grappling Spine
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level This gruesome spell causes your own spine to lengthen considerably, thrusting up from the base of your skull to become a prehensile weapon (or limb-like tendril) under your control. Each round, in addition to whatever actions you would normally make, the grappling spine can make either an unarmed disarm or grapple attack with a reach of 10 feet, neither of which draws an attack of opportunity. It is treated as Medium and has an attack bonus of +10 plus your caster level. Its Strength score is your Strength +5. While grappling, once it achieves a hold, the grappling spine can deal 1d6 points of damage plus its Strength modier, if any.

Ground Trap
Transmutation Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature of Medium size or smaller Duration: 1 round/level (D); see text Saving Throw: Reex negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes The ground beneath one of the targets feet rises up to envelop its foot and leg up to the knee, effectively trapping the target. The target receives a Reex saving throw to avoid the grounds grasp. Failure means that the target is trapped and unable to move from its spot for the duration of the spell while success means that the target has avoided or twisted free of the grounds grasp and the spell fails. A trapped target cannot free itself with a Strength or Escape Artist check, but it and/or its friends can break the ground off (the DM will have to determine the exact composition of the ground holding the creature; a handy example is a hardness of 5 with 5 hit points) by striking at it (careful, or you will injure the trapped person). The trapped target is still free to take any actions, including casting spells, while its foot is trapped. This spell applies to any earthen or stone surface that a creature is standing on (so that a spider climbing along a cavern ceiling could be entrapped). The spell does not affect a surface made of wood or metal. Focus: A small piece of clay.

be cast by anyone under the effect of haste, slow or similar magic. Guided strike enhances the casters aim and ability to counteract an opponents defences. Specically, it removes the Reex saving throw allowed by the next spell cast, if applicable, and automatically causes a critical hit if the spell allows for one. If a target of one of these guided spells has the Evasion ability, it can still make a save for half damage. In this case, it does not get the normal benet conferred by Evasion. Improved Evasion acts as Evasion normally would, allowing the target to evade damage from the guided spell only on a successful saving throw.

Guided Strike
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous Cast immediately before another spell, guided strike is wasted if the caster takes any other action but spellcasting on the round following its completion.

Hand of the Guilty


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: One object of 1 lb./caster level or less Duration: One hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Named for its most common use, this is a specialised form of the locate creature spell that uses as its focus an object of no more than 1 pound per caster level. When cast, the item becomes suffused with divination magic and acts to indicate the direction of the last person before the caster to touch it. It does this by gently pulling in the correct direction, moving in much the same way as a dousing rod. Distance is no object but the spell will not cross dimensional boundaries. A failure in this regard is notable and will at least tell the caster that the object of the search is alive but on another plane. If the target is actually dead, the spell will lead to its corpse so long as it is on the same plane as the spellcaster. Focus: The item to be used as the tracking object, which must be handled in a manner consistent to its construction and purpose during the spellcasting. A weapon must be brandished; a lantern must be lit if it is intact or at least held aloft if not, and so on.

Any creature that enters the affected area triggers long, ne steel blades that sprout from the surrounding surfaces and attempt to impale it, as follows. Bladeground: CR 1/2 caster level; magical trap; location trigger; automatic reset; Atk bonus = caster level (1d8 piercing, x3); Search DC 28 (Note: This trap cannot be spotted until it has been triggered at least once); cannot be disabled without dispelling or exhausting (see below). The trap can make a total number of attacks equal to your caster level (max 15) before it is exhausted. It never attacks any creature more than once per round. If you are present to witness creatures entering the affected area, you can choose to exempt them from being attacked. Note that this spell can be used as easily in melee as to create an advance trap. Material Component: Fragments of a shattered blade, scattered across the affected area.

Hand of Vengeance
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 immediate action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Instantaneous (see below) Saving Throw: None (see below) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You may only cast this spell if you receive damage during this or the previous round of combat. If you succeed at a melee touch attack, your hand deals the identical amount of damage that you received from one attack against the creature that dealt that damage upon you. This only includes actual hit points lost. For example, if a creature sustained 20 points of damage from a lightning bolt, its touch deals 20

Heros Visage
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 2, Clr 2, Pal 2 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) The caster emanates an aura of greatness, appearing like a hero of ancient legend, who only the bravest dare to approach, let alone ght. Any creature attempting to engage the caster in melee combat must make a Will save or suffer a -2 morale penalty on attack and damage rolls. Focus: Any weapon raised high in the air. If affected by this spell, the target ies into a murderous rage, attacking the nearest creature regardless of previous afliations or alignment. Once the target has attacked its rst victim in melee combat (which it will attempt to do in preference to all other forms of combat), it will ignore everything else, including taking damage, until the victim drops to 0 hit points or below. Then it will move on to the next nearest victim and repeat this behaviour. A side effect of this spell is that the target becomes an ally of the caster and an enemy to everyone else. This may cause it to lose or gain bonuses stemming from spells that differentiate on that basis (bless, for example). Material Component: A drop of sweat from a barbarian or fur from a creature with the rage ability. If the caster has the rage ability personally, there is no material component.

Hesitant Caress
Transmutation [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Huge or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack which may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. Targets touched by you are affected as if by a slow spell for one round per level. Even if the target saves against this spell, it still counts as dazed for one round if its Hit Dice do not exceed yours. Any dispelling effect can negate this spell on a target during its duration. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: During the duration of this spells effect on any given target, it also suffers a 2 penalty to its Dexterity score.

Heros Luck
Divination Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour/level or until used Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Heros luck grants its recipient a limited form of sixth sense. Once during the spells duration, you may choose to gain a +2 insight bonus to an attack, skill check or saving throw you make. You must elect to use this bonus before making your roll. After you gain the bonus, the spell ends.

Hide the Soul


Abjuration Level: Clr 9, Drd 9, Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Personal or touch Target: You and one creature touched Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: No You draw your soul (or the soul of a creature touched) from the body and store it in the body of any single animal you touch during the casting. By storing the soul elsewhere, the subject becomes immune to all spells or abilities that damage or affect the soul (such as the trap the soul or soul bind spells). Likewise, a subject whose soul is stored elsewhere cannot be affected by the clone spell. To free a hidden soul, the subject must bleed the animal (dealing 1 point of damage) and consume the blood. If the animal containing the subjects soul is killed, the subject must make a successful DC 20 Constitution check or die as well (though he can now be returned to life normally). If the check succeeds, the subjects soul is returned to its body and the effects of this spell are ended. If the subject is killed, raise dead, resurrection, true resurrection or even a wish or miracle cannot restore life to a soulless subject. Only by bringing the focus animal within 5 feet of the slain subjects body and bleeding it (dealing 1 point of damage) during the revivication attempt can the subject be returned to life. This immediately returns the subjects soul to its body and cancels the effects of this spell. If the animal cannot be obtained or is not within range, all attempts at revivication automatically fail until the above conditions are met. The focus animals soul remains in its body unaffected by the casters soul. In essence, the souls share the body of the focus animal. If a spell or power that affects or damages the soul (trap the soul, for instance) is cast on the focus animal while it houses the subjects soul, there is a 50% chance that the subjects soul (rather than the focus animals soul) is affected. In such a case, the effects of hide the soul are immediately nullied, and the subject suffers the full effects of the spell or power in question. A true seeing spell cast on the subject reveals a ghostly image of the focus animal overlying the subject. If true seeing is cast on the focus animal,

an overlying translucent and ghostly image of the subject can be seen. Material Component: A black sapphire gem (total value equal to at least 1,000 gp x the subjects character level). The gem is powdered and mixed with nine drops of blood from the subject and nine drops of blood from the focus animal. The subject consumes one half of the mixture while the focus (animal) consumes the other half.
Focus: The animal that is to contain the subjects soul.

Hold Ship
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Targets: One ship Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A spell much valued by captains who may employ you, hold ship allows you to halt another vessel in its tracks, holding it immobile irrespective of winds, currents and the efforts of its crew. The ship will automatically remain motionless for one round. You may attempt to hold the ship for longer than one round by succeeding in a Concentration check at a DC based on the ships size (see Seas of Blood or Classic Play: Book of the Sea) or ship length as listed below. This Concentration check is made in addition to any others you may be forced to take, due to sustaining damage or casting in adverse conditions, for example. Concentration DC 10 12 15 18 20 25 30

Hungry Shadow
Conjuration [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Target: One creature/round Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No A fanged, shadowy gure emerges from your mouth when this spell is cast (causing 1d4 hit points of damage to you as it does so). You may direct this shadow at any creature within range of the spell and order it to attack that target. The shadow must make a touch attack (using your base attack bonus) in order to unleash its power. If the attack succeeds, the target suffers 2d4 hit points of damage and is wrapped in the body of the shadow. As long as the shadow continues to attack the target, the target also suffers a 1 penalty to all attack, save and damage rolls. Once the shadow latches onto a target with a successful attack, the target suffers 1d4 hit points of damage each round. The shadow will not attack again unless it is directed to attack another target. The caster may, as a standard action, instruct the hungry shadow to attack another target. The shadow immediately moves to the new target and makes another attack, as noted above. The shadow can make only one attack each round, regardless of how many actions the caster has. Material Components: A square of black silk worth 30 gp.

brow and your voice booms with righteous authority. Each round, you may give a being a single one-word command, which they will attempt to obey to the best of their ability. This functions identically to the cleric spell command. You may command a being several times but he receives a new save each time and commands which contradict a previous command grant a +1 to +4 bonus to the saving throw. A target who successfully saves against a command is not immune to later commands.

Immobilize Extremity
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 1, Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One humanoid creature Duration: 1 round/level (D); see text Saving Throw: Will negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes One of the creatures bodily limbs or appendages becomes paralysed and useless. This has a variety of potential effects. Immobilizing the arm of a creature renders it unable to use that arm. The arm and attached hand hang limply. If it was holding a weapon or shield in that hand, the weapon or shield is not dropped but the weapon cannot be used to attack with and the shields Armour Class bonus is reduced by 1 (i.e. a buckler or light shield provides no protection while a heavy or tower shield still provides some protection as the creature slings its body around). In addition, the creature suffers a -2 circumstance penalty to all Dexterity checks, Dexterity-based skill checks, Reex saves and all Strength checks and Strength-based skill checks where the arm is used to aid in accomplishing the task (i.e. Climb, Jump and Swim checks). Attempts to pry an item out of the grasp of a paralysed hand need to succeed at an opposed Strength check against the paralysed creatures Strength. Spellcasters that have an arm immobilized are not negatively affected in terms of their spellcasting, as a somatic component requires only one hand to be free. Immobilizing the leg and attached foot of a bipedal creature causes it to drag, reducing its movement rate to one-half and causes it to suffer a -4 circumstance penalty to all Dexterity-based checks and skill checks, Reex saves, all Strength checks and Strength-

based skill checks where the legs are used to aid in accomplishing the task (i.e. Climb, Jump, and Swim checks) and Armour Class. Immobilizing the leg of a quadruped creature causes it to drag, reducing its movement to three quarters and causing it to suffer a -2 circumstance penalty to all Dexterity-based checks and skill checks, Reex saves, all Strength checks and Strength-based skill checks where the legs are used to aid in accomplishing the task (i.e. Climb, Jump and Swim checks) and Armour Class. Furthermore, if the creature was moving at a pace faster than a walk at the time the leg is immobilized, it must succeed at a DC 15 Reex save (DC 10 for quadrupeds) or fall prone. Each round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. (This is a full-round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.) A winged creature that has one of its wings paralysed cannot remain in ight and spirals slowly to the ground, apping wildly. Focus: A small, straight piece of iron.

A voluntary mark is under the control of the owner. She cannot change the appearance of the mark, but she can cause it to appear or disappear at will, as a free action. Secret societies and spy rings will often use voluntary marks as a means of verifying membership. An involuntary mark cannot be concealed. The target can hide it beneath clothing but she cannot remove it from her skin. If she grows hair over the spot, the hair will be discoloured to match the mark. If she uses alter self or disguise self, the mark will remain. If the esh is burned away or cut off, the mark will return when the skin heals. Even if the victim is polymorphed into the form of another creature, her new form will still bear the mark. There are a few spells that can remove an indelible mark. The mark cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse or wish. If break enchantment or remove curse is used, the caster level must be at least equal to your caster level. In addition, you can always choose to remove a mark that you have made.

The process of inscription takes ten minutes, and the target must either be unconscious, restrained or willing to cooperate with you. If the target is not willing to cooperate, she gets to make a Will save at the end of the process. If she is successful, the inscription fails and the material components are lost. An indelible mark can cover a square of skin no larger than 2 inches on a side. When you inscribe the mark, you can designate it as voluntary or involuntary:

Effect: Target becomes intoxicated Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance Yes If the target fails his Fortitude saving throw, he loses 2 points of Dexterity, Intelligence and Wisdom, which is immediately restored when inebriate expires. Multiple inebriate spells do not stack. If a victim is reduced to 0 in Dexterity, he is stunned. If he is reduced to 0 in either Intelligence or Wisdom, he falls unconscious. If attacked while unconscious, the target can reawaken for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution modier before lapsing back into a stupor. In addition to the effects above, the target has all the behaviour patterns typical to inebriation. Anyone trying to alter the attitude of an intoxicated NonPlayer Character may double his Charisma modier for the check to do so (see DMG). Material Components: One drop of pure, grain alcohol.

Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes A bolt of grey energy res from the casters hand. The caster must make a ranged touch attack against a target and if the attack succeedsm, the target must instantly make a Fortitude check (DC 10 + caster level) or contract an evil disease known as Wizards Touch. This disease has a incubation period of 1d4 hours and deals 1d6 Constitution damage. Material Component: The eye of a humanoid individual who died from the effects of any disease.

Infusion, Greater

A pure channel of dimensional power opens between the caster and either the upper or lower planes, transforming the appropriate creature(s) with the application of the half-end or the half-celestial template. As with the lesser version of the spell, the creature makes an opposed Will save immediately; success on its part frees it from control. The energies of this spell are too potent to be channelled through a familiar; it cannot be used as the lesser version can. Focus: A lens of gemstone valued at 1,000 gp that has been exposed to the environment of the type of plane channelled for at least one uninterrupted month. This focus must be exposed to the same plane for one full day each year or it cracks and can never serve as a focus for this spell again.

Spell Descriptions

no immediate effect save to wreath you in either a black ickering aura or a blazing glow of pure white light. The next summoning or calling spell you cast that brings one or more creatures, assuming it is cast during the infusions duration, uses the energy of this channel and binds it to these creatures. If the creatures are brought forth by a summoning spell, they receive no save or spell resistance check, but the effect of the spell ends when the summoning duration ends. The bodies of the summoned beings discorporate at that time as they would if they were slain and the planar energies disperse into the air. A much more permanent effect occurs if the spell was a calling one. The creatures involved receive full benet from a Fortitude save and spell resistance if they possess it. Failure to resist (or inability to do so) results in a drastic transformation. This spell applies the endish or celestial template to the creature affected. Even summoned creatures not normally eligible for this template can be altered, though the duration in this case is only 1 round for each two full caster levels. If this special duration elapses before the summoned or called beings are released, they are immediately sent back to their home planes from the stress of the dimensional energies. Of course, if a summoned creature is already endish or celestial, there is no effect at all. There is a risk to using this spell. As soon as the creatures appear and the template is applied, they receive an opposed Will save against you. If they succeed, the spell that summoned or called them is dispelled and they return home. In the case of a called being, this does not negate the template that remains as a permanent change. This spell can, however, be dispelled as if it were a baleful polymorph cast at your level. This spell has a special effect if cast during the ritual that calls a familiar. The familiar receives the opposed Will save as mentioned previously. If the familiar succeeds at the save, it does not transform or become bound to the casters service. This causes a magical backlash that prevents the caster for obtaining any form of familiar for 1 full year. If the familiar fails the opposed save, it applies the template and becomes the casters familiar. Focus: A lens of gemstone valued at 500 gp that has been exposed to the environment of the type of plane channelled for at least one uninterrupted day. This focus must be exposed to the same plane for one full day each year or it cracks and can never serve as a focus for this spell again.

Instant Exit
Conjuration (Teleportation) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: You and touched objects or other willing creatures Duration: 1 round; see text Saving Throw: None and Will negates (object) Spell Resistance: No and Yes (object) This spell causes a door to suddenly appear on a wall or other at surface within range. Creatures that step through the door are instantly teleported to a random location within 1,000 feet of the door. You can bring along objects as long as their weight does not exceed your maximum load. Only objects held or in use (attended) by another person receive saving throws and spell resistance. You have no control over where you or any other creatures are transported but all creatures stepping through the door are transported to the same location. There is no chance you arrive off target but there is a 5% chance this spell malfunctions and dumps all affected creatures into the Ethereal Plane. Material Component: A small silver door embedded with chipped rubies (total value at least 500 gp).

Instant Trap
Transmutation Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Weapon touched Duration: 1 hour/level or until discharged Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Instant trap creates a magical structure that uses a mundane weapon to build an invisible trap. The weapon that receives this spell turns invisible and takes up a position to attack a single 5-foot square space of the casters choice. The next creature that enters this spot during the spells duration triggers the trap. This trap attacks with a base attack bonus equal to the casters level. It deals damage as normal for the weapon. A missile weapon may be used with this spell so long as it is provided with a bolt, arrow or bullet, as may a thrown weapon. In this case, apply any range penalties for the distance the weapon must re across from the position where this spell was cast

Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell resistance: Yes With this spell, the caster imparts a level of damage reduction upon the recipient. The caster determines the exact type of this damage reduction at the time of casting. He may select one type of DR from the table below. Once selected, it cannot be changed. However, the caster could end the spell and cast it again with a different type of damage reduction selected from the table. At caster level 10, the amount of damage reduced increases to 10. At caster level 15, the damage reduction increases to 15 (the maximum). * DR 5/silver DR 5/magic DR 5/slashing DR 5/piercing DR 5/bludgeoning

Intuitive Insight
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level The caster of intuitive insight gains a subtle understanding of nearly every form of skill imaginable. The less he actually knows about a given skill, the more this tenuous wisdom can aid him. This translates into a +5 insight bonus to any skill in which the spellcaster does not possess any ranks. If the caster does have ranks in a given skill, reduce the bonus by his number of ranks. Thus, the spell does not give any bonus if the caster has ve or more ranks in the skill. Focus: A specially prepared amulet of platinum and amethyst worth 2,000 gp.

Area: Zombies in a 30 ft.-radius centred on you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell increases the ow of negative energy through zombies, causing them to move with far greater speed and uidity than normal. Zombies within the area of effect automatically gain the Improved Initiative feat. In addition, they may also ignore their single actions only special quality. The invigoration of undeath lasts indenitely, until the zombies are destroyed. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, only 2 HD per caster level worth of zombies may benet from its effects. Further castings will simply have no effect.

The rope gains the toughness of iron (hardness 10; hit points 10; Break (DC 27)), but the rope also gains the rigidity of iron as well. The new ironrope is no longer as supple and exible as normal rope, although it does ex and bend to some degree.

Item Tattoo
Transmutation Level: Drd 4, Rgr 4, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: One object (up to 1 cu. ft. per level) Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: Special (see text) Spell Resistance yes (harmless) This spell converts one object into a small tattoo upon the body of the recipient. The size of the object is reduced to about 1/12 of its normal dimensions, and it appears on the recipient at the place touched during casting. The new tattoo has no weight associated with it. The item is preserved in this form until it is returned to its normal form or the spell is dispelled. The item tattoo can be returned to its normal form by having either the recipient or the caster touch the tattoo and will the spell to end. This spell can be dispelled by an erase spell, and the object is treated as a magical writing for this purpose. Dispelling the item tattoo in this manner causes the item to revert to its normal form. Tattooing works automatically for non-magical items, but if the spellcaster tries to work this incantation upon a magical item, the spell recipient must make a Fortitude save. Otherwise, the magic item does not transform into a tattoo, and the items have all of their properties suppressed while in tattoo form. Magic items of artefact and relic power cannot be affected by so simple a spell as this. A maximum of three tattoo items can affect one creature at any one time. Material Components: This spell requires the item to be tattooed and tattooing pigments. If a magical item is being tattooed upon the recipient, a mixture of powdered amber is also required in the tattooing inks. The ink, worth 10gp, and powdered amber, worth 200 gp, are the material components for this spell.

For the duration, the target takes a 1 penalty on attack and damage rolls, checks and saves and armour class if it fails a Fortitude saving throw. The creature can scratch as a standard action, thus negating the penalties for that round. Creatures with a natural armour bonus of +4 or higher are immune to this version of irritation. Rash: You cover the targets body in a deep red rash, which appears 1d3 rounds after casting the spell. If the target makes a successful save, it suffers no effects of the rash. If the save fails, each day thereafter, the rash becomes worse causing a 1 circumstance penalty to all Charisma-based checks made by the subject. This penalty increases by an additional point each day, to a maximum of 4 (after four days). One week later, the subject takes a 2 effective penalty to its Dexterity score. The rash persists until dispel magic or remove disease is cast on the subject. The penalties to Charisma-checks and Dexterity disappear immediately when the rash is removed.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Will negates (special) Spell Resistance: Yes When kenning the heart is cast, the current emotional state of the target is immediately known to every being in the area of effect. Every being in the burst also becomes aware of the target as the source of the emotions. No names or images are given and only simple emotional concepts will be communicated but language is not a barrier. There is no save allowed for this effect. Alternatively, the caster can choose a single emotional question, complete with qualiers, and learn the answer personally. In this case, no burst occurs. This question, which can be as complicated as Who do you love romantically? can be posed only if the caster knows the targets language or has some way to bypass this requirement (such as thralls understanding, tongues, or beyond words). The subject may make a Will save to negate this.

This spell can be used to duplicate the effects of either kenning the heart or kenning the mind. If used in this way, there is no save or spell resistance against its effects. If the caster wishes, kenning the soul can be used to broadcast the targets alignment to everyone within the burst radius. Absolutely no form of defence or immunity can prevent the accuracy of this detection, nor can any defence or immunity prevent the targets in the burst from receiving the information. Alternatively, the caster can learn the targets alignment, fears, desires and darkest secret. The secrets learned by the caster are up to the Games Masters discretion but will be something potentially harmful to the target or something he would never want revealed. This version of the spell offers a Will save and spell resistance applies. No burst occurs and the target has no indication, even with a successful save, that the kenning occurred.

Kidnap Soul
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 6, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: Unlimited Target: 1 creature Duration: 1 month/level or until successful save (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell allows you to entrap the soul of your target inside a clay jug, and make with its body what you will. You need to point a specially prepared clay jug at your target for a full round and, if it fails a Will save, its life force is pulled into the jug and its body drops dead. This spell can be cast over scrying effects. The following round the body rises as a zombie under your control, keeping its hit points and Armour Class, but otherwise using the statistics for a zombie as detailed in MM. The soul is allowed an additional Will save at the end of every month of the duration to free itself. Whether you free the life force, the spells duration ends or it escapes on its own, the body is returned to normal once the soul returns to it, having no knowledge of what the body did in its absence. Casting raise dead or any other resurrection magic on the body grants the trapped soul another Will save to escape with a +4 morale bonus. If the animated body is slain, the trapped life force remains in the jug, and has a 50% chance of becoming a ghost (and quite an angry one) upon its release or escape. In this case, casting resurrection magic on

The alternate effect allows the caster to ask a single detailed question involving thoughts and/or memories and receive a silent, complete answer from the targets mind. If the Will save is failed, the caster learns what he wishes to know immediately.

The caster must succeed with a ranged touch attack to strike his target. If struck the target suffers a 1d6 penalty to Dexterity, with an additional penalty of 1 per 2 caster levels, to a maximum of 5. The subjects Dexterity score cannot drop below 1. the slain body automatically frees the trapped soul and calls it back to the body. Protection from evil and other wards block this spell, and destroying the receptacle ends it. The effect can be dispelled only at the clay jug. Focus: A clay jug painted with rich metal paintings worth at least 100 gp.

Lava Wyrm
Conjuration [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Target: One unoccupied 5 ft. square Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) Saving Throw: Reex negates Spell Resistance: No This spell creates a serpentine ow of lava emerging from the earth at a spot designated by the caster. The wyrm is 20 feet long, with a exible body. It consists of 4 5-foot squares that can be repositioned by the caster whenever it moves, but each segment of the body (save for the two ends) must be in squares adjacent to at least two other body segments at all times. Diagonal squares are considered adjacent when repositioning the lava wyrm. As a move equivalent action, the caster may direct the wyrm to move up to 30 feet, measured from the wyrms head. At this time, the body may be repositioned in any form, as long as it adheres to the restrictions listed above. If any portion of the wyrms body passes through a square containing a creature, that creature suffers 10d6 hit points of re damage unless a successful Reex save is made. The wyrm may not move through a square containing any obstruction of Huge size or larger. Material Component: Three small rubies strung along a golden wire (value of 600 gp).

The spell causes the item to accept only the designated person as its owner, and to buck and twist in the hands of anyone else. Anyone save the designated person who attempts to use the item suffers a 5 penalty on any relevant attack rolls or skill checks, and in their hands the item feels as if it weighs twice as much as normal. This spell is most often cast upon weapons, but it can also be applied to other objects like chariots or clothing. Material Component: A drop of the designated owners blood.

Law of Simplification
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round This spell allows the caster to manipulate fate and reduce a single action down to its simplest chance for success, negating all mitigating circumstances except the basic odds of its being accomplished. What this does in practice is affect the next action taken by the caster by removing any armour, circumstance, competence, concealment, cover, deection, insight or morale modiers enjoyed or suffered by the caster and the target. For example, if the caster were ring a crossbow at an invisible kobold behind a low wall while under the effects of a bless spell, the only modiers to the roll would be the casters ranged attack bonus, the weapons enhancement bonus (if any) and the kobolds Dexterity bonus. The chance manipulated by the caster will swing back out of the casters favour after this is done. The next time the caster makes a skill check or attack roll that could possibly fail, it will do so.

Legs of the Spider


Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level The caster sprouts four enormous spiders legs from his back, which move on command, allowing him to both scale walls and buffet foes with powerful attacks. While under the effects of this spell, the caster can climb and travel across vertical and horizontal surfaces as though affected by a spider climb spell. His speed when moving in this fashion is equal to 30 feet per round and he is capable of performing the run action while traversing vertical or horizontal surfaces (even when upside down). The spiders legs have an effective Strength score of 20 for the purposes of attacking, lifting and grappling. The four spiders legs can be used to attack, in one of two ways. As a free action, a single leg can attack at the casters highest base attack bonus, dealing 1d8 + 5 points of damage. Alternately, as a full round action, each leg can attack at your highest attack bonus, dealing 1d8 + 5 points of damage for each successful hit. Leg attacks are considered to be piercing and they are considered to be magical weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. The spiders legs can also be used in grappling and add a +4 circumstance bonus to all grapple checks, in addition to the bonus received from their high Strength. Finally, the caster can also choose to defend with the legs, swatting arrows from the sky and turning aside sword strokes with equal ease. In lieu of making an attack for the round, you can assign one leg to defence, which grants you a +2 competence bonus to Armour Class. Alternatively, the caster can dedicate all four legs to defence, which grants a +5 competence bonus to Armour Class, but negates his ability to climb. Material Component: A living spider of at least Small size. The spider is destroyed in the casting.

Law of the Wild


Divination (Contingent Enchantment) Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour The natural world follows its own rules, rules that can be quite confusing to wizards and sorcerers, who often spend more time dealing with arcane affairs than what resides in the heart of sylvan glades. However, the life of an adventuring wizard can take him into some very inhospitable places, such as dark forests lled with wild creatures. This spell allows a caster to divine the purpose, motivation and desires of animals and beasts. When cast, the spellcaster gains a +10 insight bonus to Handle Animal, Wild Empathy and Wilderness Lore checks. If the caster does not normally have access to the Wild Empathy class feature, he may make checks as if he did (in this case, the insight bonus counts as skill ranks). A subtle eld of magic surrounds the caster, which keeps creatures of the animal and beast

Life Net
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Drd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One target creature or object Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Reex negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance Yes (harmless, object) Life net causes a targeted underwater creature or object to be wrapped in a magical net of air bubbles that rises to the waters surface. When successfully cast, life net immediately lifts the target toward the surface of the water. The rate of ascent is quick, at 120 feet per round. The life net equalizes pressure during the ascent so the creatures decompress without getting the bends. Once the target reaches the surface, the life net matches pressure with the surrounding water and will no longer propel the target upward but will maintain the target at the surface for the spells remaining duration. The life net is not restrictive in any way, so the target is able to swim about as normal, but any attempt at descent only serves to counter some or all of the 120 feet per round ascent, depending on the targets swimming speed. The spell does not interfere with attacks or other actions taken by a target creature. The target of this spell cannot weigh more than 100 pounds per level of the caster. Finally, the spell functions the same in liquid mediums other than water. Material Component: A palm-sized net.

simply allows the character to endure the weight of more equipment and clothing without suffering from the effects of a medium or heavy load. For example; Raisiline has a Strength of 8. Normally, she can carry up to 26 pounds as a light load, up to 53 pounds as a medium load and up to 80 pounds maximum. After casting this spell, she can now carry up to 39 pounds as a light load, up to 79 pounds as a medium load and has a maximum carrying capacity of 120 pounds. Material component: A broken merchants scale

On a successful hit, in addition to normal damage, the enchanted arrow deals 1d8 points of electrical damage per caster level, up to a maximum of 10d8. If the arrow misses, the spell is wasted and has no effect. Material Component: The arrow or bolt.

The 30 feet tall wall hisses and pops ominously and peals of thunder intermittently blast forth from the at ceiling. As long as any creatures within the wall do not move, they are perfectly safe. If a creature does move, however, a bolt of lightning licks out of the wall to strike him,

In addition, a target affected by lingering daze remains that way for the spells duration or until the effect is dispelled. A target that makes its Will save against this spell is partially dazed. On its next round (and its next round only), the target may take only a single move or standard action. Material Component: A shard of ice or a sliver of iron.

Longevity
Necromancy [Age] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Targets: Creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell negates the effects of natural ageing on the recipient of the spell for a period of one day. It had no effect on ageing caused by magical or divine means. Multiple longevity spells cast within the same day have no additional effect upon the recipient. Cast each day, this spell does, of course, grant the recipient immortality of a type they will no longer age whilst the spell is in effect, though they will still be vulnerable to death from other sources, such as disease, poison and injury. Material Component: One pint of blood from a creature of the same race but at least half the age of the recipient of this spell.

causing 5d6 points of damage (a successful Reex save negates this). Targets within the cage are treated as if they had 100% cover from physical melee or ranged attacks of any kind. Magical attacks, including spell-like abilities such as breath weapons, pass freely through the cage to strike those within. If a spell moves a target within the cage, including movement through teleportation, the target suffers damage for each round in which it is forced to move. The caster may, at any time, choose to contract the lightning vice, reducing the area of effect by 10 feet each round. Once the contraction process begins, it cannot be halted (although the spell can still be ended or dispelled in the usual ways, including if the caster stops concentrating) until the spell has a 0 feet radius at which point the spells effect ends. During the contraction of the vice, any creature the walls of the cage pass over suffers 10d6 points of damage (no save). If the spells duration ends without the caster having chosen to contract the vice, the spell simply ends rather than contracting. Material Component: A tiny cage of golden wires with a value of at least 500 gp.

You gain access to a townhouse or small keep you may use as your quarters, high quality clothes and gourmet meals three times per day. You gain access to the citys rulers, if they deal with ambassadors and other public ofcials, though you do not gain any special power over them. Your domicile has space for up to ve companions, and you may provide them with clothes and food at no additional cost. As far as anyone in town knows, you are an important ambassador from a distant land whose name escapes their memory. Focus: A jewelled crown worth 1,000 gp.

Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes This spell enables you to reduce the subjects spell resistance. The target does not get a save against the effect, and you gain a +4 competence bonus to your caster check to beat its spell resistance. If successful, the subjects spell resistance is reduced by a number of points equal to one-half your caster level (maximum 10 points). Material Component: A broken iron or silver rod.

Loyal Guardian
Abjuration [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level This spell calls into existence a globe of magical energy that drifts around you in a lazy orbit. The orb is invisible but at all times you have a clear sense of its location. While this spell is in effect, you may use a free action to mentally push the globe into the path of an incoming attack, causing your opponent to automatically miss you as the globe absorbs the attack. You may use a globe in this manner once per round to cancel one melee or ranged attack. The globe may be used against any attack that requires an attack roll, including spells that require attack rolls. For purposes of any secondary effects caused by the attack, treat it as having rolled a miss on its attack roll. Material Component: A small wooden shield.

Lost Wanderer
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 6, Clr 6, Drd 6 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 3 rounds Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None or Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: No or Yes (harmless) The recipient of this spell becomes completely lost and cannot nd its way. Unless led (by another creature or a map, for example), the creature wanders aimlessly about seeking its destination (which it remembers; it just cannot remember how to get there) for the duration of the spell. Any destination an affected creature seeks is lost to it for the duration, not just one it may have had in mind when this spell took effect. This spell is keyed to the recipient, not its companions, and its effect does not predict or allow for the actions of creatures (including guardians). Lost wanderer counters and dispels nd the path. Likewise, nd the path counters and dispels lost wanderer. Focus: A set of ivory counters or bones that you break during the casting.

causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creatures. The protection against contact by elemental creatures ends if any of the warded creatures makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature. As an option, a magic circle can be focused inwards rather than outwards. In this case it serves as an immobile, temporary magical prison for a summoned elemental creature. The caster must beat a creatures spell resistance in order to keep it at bay, but the negation of natural weapons still applies. If a creature too large to t into the spells area is the subject of the spell, the spell acts as a normal protection from elements spell for that creature only.

Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: No You create a tiny gate to the Elemental Plane of Magma, a place where earth and re mingle. Lava jets through the gate like a small volcano. Though the lava loses some of its ery heat as it transfers into the Prime Material Plane, it still deals 1d6 points of re damage per caster level, to a maximum of 15d6. In addition, targets that fail their Reex saves become covered in a thin layer of rocky, stiff residue as the lava cools. These victims suffer a 4 penalty to Dexterity until they spend a full-round action chipping the rock away. Removing the rock requires a creature to drop its guard as it pulls the coating from its body, thus provoking an attack of opportunity.

Magic Missile, Repeating


Evocation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: Up to ve creatures, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart. Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance Yes In all regards but one, this spell acts the same as the lower level magic missile spell. Missiles created with this spell, however, do not disappear when they strike their target, but instead return to the caster and orbit him harmlessly until his next action, at which time they may be directed against a target once more. Attacking with these missiles is a standard action and precludes casting another spell. The missiles remain active for the spells full duration and, as long as the caster retains concentration, they may attack any target within range. Material Components: A handful of glass marbles, one per missile to be invoked.

Magma Pit
Transmutation (Earth, Fire) Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Effect: Mobile Emanation, 20 ft. radius Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: No The very earth boils in response to this spell, transforming into seething magma that sears esh and can destroy ammable materials and metals with a low melting point (such as lead, gold, copper, silver or bronze). Creatures in the area of effect suffer 2d6 hit points of damage plus an additional 1d6 per two caster levels (Fortitude save for half damage), move at half normal speed and may not run as their lower legs become mired in magma. Creatures of Huge size or larger do not suffer the reduction in speed or prohibition against running, but take damage as normal. Any creature with the subcold type suffers double normal damage and must immediately begin moving out of the area of effect if possible. When the area of effect is moved, the ground immediately cools and any creatures caught in the original area of effect stop suffering damage. Creatures mired in magma are left unhindered when the area of effect is moved. Material Components: A chunk of igneous rock rolled in ruby dust (200 gp value).

Make Manifest
Transmutation [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One object (see Focus) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (object, harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (object, harmless) Through a powerful application of transmutation magic, you permanently transform a specially prepared image or icon into the object it represents. The end result can be up to one 10-foot cube per caster level of whatever basic material or materials were used in the icons creation and is just as detailed. This spell is most often used to create instant buildings or fortications, though many applications could be conceived by a creative caster. The object must all be one contiguous piece, though normally attached pieces like doors and windows are acceptable and will be incorporated into the resulting object. Focused Effect: The resulting item is considered masterwork, if appropriate, and is rendered immune to physical damage and spell effects for one hour per caster level after manifesting. Focus: A miniature representation of the object to be created valued at 10% of the objects nal cost or 500 gold pieces, whichever is higher. Only normal materials can be used in this miniature; precious metals and gemstones will be replaced with visually identical copies made of coloured steel or glass.

Afiction: One of the targets ability scores is permanently reduced by 9 (to a minimum of 1; Intelligence can only be reduced to a minimum of 3). Ill Luck: The target suffers a 6 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks and ability checks. Torpor: Each turn, the victim has a 35% chance (17 on a d20) of acting normally; otherwise, she takes no action.

You can come up with other effects with your GMs permission, but they should have roughly this level of power. The effects of malediction do not stack with those of bestow curse; however, if the two spells are being used for different purposes a curse is reducing the victims Strength while a malediction is affecting her Intelligence, for example the two effects will not interfere with one another. A malediction cannot be dispelled. Remove curse can remove malediction, but only if its caster level is equal to or greater than your caster level. It can also be removed with break enchantment, limited wish, miracle or wish. Finally, you can release the victim from the effects of the curse at any time.

Malicious Image
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: All mirror images of one target Duration: See text Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance No This spell causes a target under the effect of a mirror image spell to be attacked by his images. A successful Will save by the targeted caster negates the spell, and his mirror images continue to function as normal. Should the target fail his Will save, a deadly transformation occurs. Each mirror image becomes a hostile shadow-creature, with hit points equal to those of the target, divided by the number of images remaining when malicious image was cast. Their AC remains 10 + size modier + Dexterity modier of target. They attack once per round with the casters highest attack bonus, dealing 1d6 points of damage per successful hit. The target loses control of the images, can no longer merge or split with them, and

cannot voluntarily end the spell. The images do not disappear when struck, but must be reduced to 0 hit points to be destroyed. They continue to attack until the mirror image spell ends or until they are all destroyed, at which point both the malicious image and the mirror image spells come to an end. Because the images no longer mimic the targets actions, enemies of the target no longer have difculty distinguishing the target from his images.

Range: Touch Target: A wooden chest Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The chest affected by this spell must be a masterwork chest made of oak or cedar, with dimensions no larger than four feet wide and three feet high and deep. When this spell is cast, the chest becomes waterproof (even when the lid is open, items contained in the chest will not be damaged by exposure to seawater) and much tougher (its hardness increases to 8 and its hit points double). Any clothing placed in the chest is magically washed, pressed and neatly folded. At any time and at any range, the caster of the spell can call for the chest, which will then begin to move towards him. The chest will also automatically try to follow the caster if he moves more than one mile away from the chest, but he can command the chest to stay by touching it. The faithful seachest has a Swim speed of 15 feet per round and can always tell where the caster is. If the chest nds itself thrown overboard, it swims to the surface and then sets off in pursuit of its master. The chest can also move slowly while on land, at the rate of 5 feet per minute. It moves in grinding jerks, making a horrible noise like breaking wood. Some faithful seachests have been quite creative in getting to their master, pushing themselves up stairs, off roofs and into wagons. Once the seachest has found its master, it stops moving until it is summoned or must follow him again. Material Components: A handful of seawater and some dog fur.

Mariners Luxurious Cabin


Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wis 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels) Effect: Extradimensional cabin 10 feet wide and 20 feet long Duration: 2 hours/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell may only be cast aboard a ship. It creates a doorway or hatch leading to an extradimensional space, the luxurious cabin. The cabin contains either a single bed or three bunk beds, a wardrobe, en suite bathroom, a dining table, writing desk, chairs and a porthole looking out on the sea. There is a replace in one corner. The cabin is perfectly dry and level, and does not roll with the waves. Everything is made of dark oak or gleaming brass. Food brought into the luxurious cabin appears to be transformed into the most exquisite fare water becomes ne wine; weevil-lled hard tack becomes a magnicent roast duck with mixed vegetables. This is, sadly, merely glamour, but it does make things more palatable. Although the luxurious cabin is an extradimensional space, it is still part of the ship. If the ship oods, so does the cabin. If the ship sinks, the luxurious cabin has one nal virtue the wardrobe comes with a shape boat spell precast. Material Component: A silver spoon.

with the wizards own life, so that this other person will know if the wizard is alive or dead. The spell lasts for 60 days; after that the spell must be cast again, but if the wizard casts the spell before the 60 days has ended, he does not need to touch the recipient of the mark of life, he merely needs to touch the mark on his own body. The mark can be anything the caster wishes, but the mark is on both the casters body and the targets, they look much like a tattoo and are the same. This mark can be removed with a dispel magic and the other person will know this has happened, as his own mark vanishes.

Mark of Life, Greater


Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 30 minutes Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: 1 year Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: No This spell works the same way as a mark of life spell, but it has longer duration and takes longer time to cast. The target makes a Fortitude save and, if successful, the body will not accept this spell. This spell has one more property that the mark of life spell does not, which is the power to tell the caster, or the marked, how the other one died, if it happened while the spell was still active. The death is shown to the other person, much like a dream, even if he is awake and perhaps walking down the street, which can be a rather odd experience. Note that this experience is only visual, and does not necessarily tell the other person where the death happened, unless he recognizes the surroundings, which can be done by making an Intelligence check beating a DC 20. Maybe he has been there before, or heard something of the place, that he now recognizes. Focus: Something personal from the one who is the target of the spell, perhaps a lock of hair or a special piece of cloth.

Mark of Life
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: 60 days Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The mark of life is a small bond between the caster and his target, but there are two possible ways of using this spell. The rst use is where the wizard marks himself with the mark of someone elses life, so that the wizard will know if and when the other person dies. The other use is to mark someone else

Spell Descriptions

Target: You Duration: Instantaneous A simple spell that allows the caster to foresee the future possibilities of a simple action involving a limited number of choices, master of the game derives its name from the activity is usually put to; this spell allows the caster to become an expert cheat at gambling. Often prepared or cast through the use of the Silent Spell feat so as not to rouse suspicions at the card table, master of the game provides a awless glimpse into the next round (six seconds of elapsed time, if not in combat) depending on the next action the caster takes. Although the duration of the spell is listed as instantaneous, it technically does not take place until the casters next round, when it provides information about the ramications of the action he is about to take. One action can be considered for every four full caster levels, up to ve potential actions at 20th level. For example, if an 8th level diviner uses master of the game one round, the next round he could foresee what would occur if he cast reball into the current melee and also what would occur if he targeted the leader of the enemy orcish war band with a dispel magic. He would then be likely to opt for whichever choice had the most desirable outcome. This spell is almost always entirely accurate but the actions of others can also disrupt the ow of time. As such, the most likely outcomes are foreseen and what is revealed usually comes to pass but there is always the possibility of events unfolding in a different way if others involved in the situation react unpredictably. The Games Master is encouraged to keep this spell as accurate as possible without making its revelations absolute.

Mathemagic Principle
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round If spellcasting can be seen as manipulating unseen energies and bending them to the casters will, the mathemagic principle can be seen as calculating exactly how best to do that. Also called spell equation, this complicated rite allows the caster to utterly optimise his next spellcasting by divining the most powerful gestures and incantations to make at the exact moment he casts his next spell. Because magic is such an ever-changing force, mathemagic principle does not work if the knowledge gained by calculating it is not used immediately. The caster cannot even make a 5-foot adjustment between the casting of this spell and the one to be altered. When this spell is cast, the caster must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + the level of spell to be affected). Failure causes magical backlash that deals 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per level of the affected spell and wastes the mathemagic principle. Success causes the next spell the spellcaster casts to be affected by the Empower Spell and Maximise Spell feats.

Mental Unity, Lesser


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Self and up to ve creatures touched Duration: 1 hour (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes An excellent way to keep track of a companions condition, this spell forges a simple bond between the caster and several other creatures. Everyone affected by the bonds formed by a single casting of this spell know instantly when someone in the link is harmed, poisoned, polymorphed, petried, charmed, killed or rendered unconscious. The death of the caster does not prematurely end this spell. At any point during the duration of the spell, the caster can cast it again to extend the duration. The caster may use an active bond to send a 10-word mental message to everyone in the link. No one can be excluded from the message and the lesser mental unity spell ends immediately after it is received. No other form of communication is possible through this link, though range is not an issue once the spell has been cast. The bond does not, however, extend across different planes of existence. Material Component: A small stack of river pebbles. One is given to each person in the link and shatters when the spell ends.

Me First!
Enchantment (Compulsion) Level: Brd 4, Drd 2, Rgr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance No When this enchantment is placed upon a mundane item, the rst person that sees it must make a Will save. Failure makes the victim experience an overwhelming desire to posses the enchanted item, causing him to move immediately toward it, ignoring all dangers. While under the inuence of this spell, the victim is considered at-footed and ghts at a 4 attack penalty. Material Component: A small mundane item.

Mental Unity
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You and one creature touched/level Duration: 1 day (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell functions as lesser mental unity except that the number of creatures that can enter into the bond is greater. The caster can also communicate freely with any member of the bond, which does not automatically end the spell and can exclude any individual the caster wishes. In addition, the other members of the bond can each send a single 10-word message to everyone else in the link but this cannot exclude recipients and removes the sender from the link. Material Component: One amethyst for each creature in the link (100 gp each), which shatters when the spell ends.

Merciful Weapon
Transmutation Level: Clr 2, Drd 3, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One weapon. Duration: 1 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) The caster causes one weapon to lose its sharpness or hardness so that it deals nonlethal damage instead of normal damage. The spell does not work on natural weaponry such as claws and fangs, but it does work against articial weapons that have somehow become part of the creature, such as a sword that is xed onto a construct. The weapon does not get a save if its owner is willing to have it affected or if it is left unattended. Weapons carried or wielded by

Merge into Art


Transmutation Level: Asn 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: Caster Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No You step into a painting, tapestry or fabric mosaic large enough to encompass your height. Magic items, such as a magic painting, repel your efforts to merge. Your shape and form is woven into the picture or tapestry as if it were part of the original work, changing your colouration and form slightly if necessary. Someone studying the work of art may make a Spot check (DC = 15 + caster level or your Hide skill check, whichever is greater). You are aware of your surroundings as if watching through a window, anything taking place beyond the borders of the artwork are beyond the scope of your vision. You cannot speak or cast spells while merged but you can exit the spell at any time during the spells duration. If you wait until the spell ends you are forced out of the picture. Damage of any type done to the tapestry or painting immediately forces you out dealing 1d6 points of damage and leaving you dazed for 1 round.

At any time, while standing at a shore of the same sea where the spell was cast, the caster may command the bottle to move. The bottle will wash up on the nearest shore to a point specied by the caster the spell is discharged when the bottle arrives. The bottle arrives with the morning tide within 1d4 days. It can navigate rivers and dams and weather storms, but cannot move from one plane of existence to another. If the caster of the spell dies, any messages in a bottle he cast can be recalled by standing on the shore where he cast them and shouting his name. There are some scavengers who walk along the beach, shouting out the names of long-dead wizards in the hopes of retrieving some ancient missive. Material Component: A pearl worth 100 gp.

Midnight Slime
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You create a coating of midnight slime on your hand. A creature you touch with this hand pulls the slime completely free from you, at which point it acts like green slime, dealing 1d6 points of Constitution damage per round while it devours esh. Anything that destroys green slime (scraping, freezing, burning, cutting, sunlight or remove disease) destroys this slime as well. If the slime kills a creature, it consumes the body and then dies. It cannot transfer to a creature other than the original target. Material Components: A drop of acid and a black glass sphere.

Message in a Bottle
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One bottle Duration: Until discharged Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell transforms a bottle or other small, oating container such as a scrollcase or cask into a messenger. When the spell is cast, the caster must throw the bottle out to sea. The bottle can contain up to three small items, such as rings or scrolls. The bottle becomes protected by an effect identical to a sequester spell while at sea.

unwary. Whenever the caster is targeted by a harmful mind-affecting spell, the mindcrypt spell is activated and attempts to destroy the enemy spell caster and the attacking spell is automatically cancelled. The creature that cast the mind-affecting spell on the caster must immediately make a Will save or fall prey to the mindcrypt, suffering 2d6 points of Intelligence drain.

The target touched when this spell is cast becomes stronger. Minotaurs might grants a +8 enhancement bonus to the targets Strength score for the spells duration. Material Component: A small pinch of powder made from the horn of a minotaur that has been ground to a ne dust.

Mindshriek
Divination (Contingent Abjuration) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 24 hours Possibly the closest thing the divination school has to a defensive spell, mindshriek guards the spellcasters mind by setting up a psychic trap that affects anyone who tries to force contact with, or control, his mind. This trap lingers in the spellcasters mind for up to 24 hours; disappearing after that time if it has not been triggered. If the caster is the target of any unwanted or unknown telepathic contact, mind-affecting spell or mental attack, the mindshriek occurs automatically. Mindshriek oods the casters mind with divinations about thousands of random topics, all within a single moment, while shielding the caster from seeing any of them. The source of the mental contact is assaulted by the entire divination, unable to evade the maddeningly intense surge of sights, sounds and thoughts. This deals 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per caster level to the attacker (maximum 15d6), drains them of two points of Intelligence and stuns them for 1d4+1 rounds. The attacker is permitted a Willpower save, with success negating half of the damage amount, drain and stun period. Material Component: A clay tablet engraved with the casters personal mark and a single drop of the casters blood.

Moments Brilliance
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round When cast, this spell enhances the casters Intelligence to an incredible degree, allowing for clear thought and truly inspired reasoning for a brief time. Any Intelligence-based skill or ability check succeeds automatically if the DC is 30 or less. This spell has no effect if the DC is 31 or above. In addition to this effect, moments brilliance acts as a one round comprehend languages spell, permits the use of any Knowledge skill without needing ranks in it and, if the caster bases his spell DCs on Intelligence, increases the DC of any spell cast while under the effect of moments brilliance by +2. Focus: A specially prepared amulet of platinum and amethyst worth 2,000 gp.

Moments Pause
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One humanoid of Medium size or smaller Duration: See text Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Moments pause is an improved form of daze, causing the affected target to be completely immobile for the duration of the spell. Until the end of the casters next full round, the target is considered paralysed and completely helpless. In all respects except duration, this effect is identical to hold person. Focus: A small, straight piece of iron.

This spell works against humanoid and giant targets, such as orcs, humans, ogres and trolls. The target of this spell must be able to hear you. Deaf creatures or those within a magical zone of silence are immune to this spell. The maximum number of Hit Dice this spell can affect is equal to the caster level. A creature affected by this spell slides into a deep sleep. While asleep, a creature is helpless. Normal noises do not awake a creature.

Necrotic Caress
Transmutation (Contingent Necromancy) [Contingent Focused, Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Huge or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. Your hand (or other unarmed attacking appendage) is transformed into an unliving channel of negative energy. Victims of your touch must save each round (including the round they are touched in) or suffer one negative level from the crawling powers of death seeping through them. Multiple touches of this spell, whether it comes from you or another source, are not cumulative, but the one level per round is. If any given target suffers more negative levels than it has Hit Dice, it dies. In addition to any normal dispelling effect being able to negate this spell, any restoration effect, even lesser restoration, will end it as well. Dispelling you does not end the duration on already affected targets. Focused Effect: Targets take 1d6 of magical damage if they make their save in any given round of effect. Contingent Focused Effect: Targets slain by this spell become zombies under your service. Zombies created in this way remain animated for one hour before dying again and remaining dead. The resulting corpses cannot be affected again by any necromantic spell except resurrection or true resurrection.

Saving Throw: Reex half, see text Spell Resistance: Yes This spell causes a ood of pure, starless night to erupt from the casters hand. Writhing and crackling like obsidian lightning, it pours over those unfortunate enough to be caught in its path, ripping the esh from their bones and robbing them of their senses. The night bolt deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6), with a Reex save allowed for half damage. In addition to the damage effect, all within the bolts path must attempt a Fortitude save or be both blinded and deafened for 2d4 rounds. Those who were successful with their Reex save gain a +2 circumstance bonus to their save to resist the loss of their senses, as they are able to shield themselves from the worst of the night bolts energy. A night bolt is most effective when cast in at night or in areas of heavy shadow, such as in a narrow alleyway or the twisting tunnels of the under earth. When cast in such circumstances, the night bolt imposes a -1 circumstance penalty to all saves. Conversely, when cast during the daylight or in areas well saturated with light, those in its path benet from a +1 circumstance bonus to their saves to resist its effects. Material Components: A sliver of obsidian wrapped in black satin.

For the duration of the spell, all affected allies share both their saving throws and their ability score modiers with one another, meaning a sorcerer linked by this spell to a ghter can use the ghters more favourable save bonus and Constitution modier when attempting a Fortitude save and the ghter can use the sorcerers more favourable bonus when forced to attempt a Will save.

Those affected by this spell automatically and unconsciously draw upon the highest ability score or save bonus when needed, with no limit to the number of times any ability may be drawn upon per round. The power of the spell draws only upon its participants innate qualities, meaning that those bonuses to ability scores or saves granted by spells or magic items are ignored. For the purposes of this spell, permanent bonuses granted by wishes or similar magics are considered innate qualities. Likewise, temporary or permanent increases granted by feats or by class abilities, such as a barbarians rage or a paladins divine grace, are considered to be innate qualities. The spells effects last only so long as all participants remain within the radius of effect. Should any linked participant move outside that radius, the spell immediately ends.

Oracle
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, XP (see text) Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 2 days (see text) Saving Throw: Fortitude partial, Will partial (see text) This spell reveals hidden or secret information to the caster concerning the location and condition of a person, item or locale. The answer is never exact and is in the form of a riddle, allegory or a tale, telling how the object, person or locale came to be where it is and why it is in its current condition. Knowledge of the location desired is too vague to make even the riskiest teleport; greater teleport also fails. The information is sufcient, however, to start a quest or expedition. To cast this spell, the caster must have minimal distractions and disturbances. A calm woodland setting, a quiet temple or the seclusion of his private study would be examples of suitable settings. The actual casting of the spell takes one hour and the caster falls into a deep trance when the spell is completed. If the caster leaves the trance at the end of the duration, he or she awakens fully aware

of the present surroundings and circumstance. The knowledge requested is given to the character, but there may be a price to pay. At the end of the full duration, the caster must make Will and Fortitude saves against a DC of 25. If the Fortitude save fails, the caster is stricken blind. If the Will save is failed, the caster is magically aged 10 years. If both fail, the caster permanently loses all spellcasting abilities. If either save fails, the caster may never again cast this spell by any means. It would take a signicant disturbance to rouse the caster from this trance, and doing so is very harmful. Attacks nearby or against the character, very loud noises or being shaken wakes the caster. Minor noises such as chirping birds or the creaking of a wooden oor, however, would not disturb the caster enough to be dangerous. If the caster is interrupted, the information desired is not granted, and the caster must roll Fortitude and Will saves as if the duration had elapsed. Blindness, aging and spellcasting loss caused by this spell are permanent and not reversible by any means less than divine intervention. XP Cost: 1,000 XP

Each round, at the beginning of your action, you may select one of the origami tigers to be the real tiger, having the statistics of a tiger it can be a different tiger each round. You may also ready an action to select a tiger to be the real tiger as a standard action. All the fake tigers function as tigers except that their attacks deal no damage, and even a single point of damage instantly destroys them. Damage to the real tiger carries over from round to round even if a different tiger is selected to be the real tiger; if it is destroyed, the spell ends. Material Component: 10 gp worth of black paper and gold foil.

Palsy
Necromancy [Fear, Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: 1 living creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes The creature affected by this spell is overcome with a mild case of convulsions and seizures. The magical energy of this spell temporarily disables and disrupts the targets muscles, making it difcult for him to control his ne motor movements. A spellcaster affected by these tremors must make a Concentration check (DC 15) each time he attempts to cast a spell with a somatic component. While casting, his tremors disrupt and ruin the hand motions he must make to complete his spell. Material Component: A pinch of dirt from a wizards grave.

Pass through Element


Abjuration [Varies] Level: Brd 2, Clr 2, Drd 1, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Effect: Passage through 5 ft./level of a certain element Duration: 1 minute/level You can walk through a barrier made from a certain element without harm. At the moment of casting, you select the natural occurrence of an element and you will be able to walk as far as 5 feet per caster level without suffering damage or any adverse effect. This spell does not work with magical expressions of an element, meaning that while it will let you navigate through a burning building, it will not let you cross a wall of re. You could cross a wall of stone or a wall of ice, since the material is normal and remains there after the spell is cast. If the effect ends while you are immersed in a solid, you are ejected to the nearest safe place and suffer 1d6 points of nonlethal damage for every 10 feet travelled that way. If you are immersed in a non-solid element, you start suffering the effects immediately. When you use this spell to pass through an element or energy type, it is a spell of that type. For example, pass through element is a water spell when cast to cross a wall of ice. Choosing air allows you to walk through gases, scalding vapour or extremely cold terrain; earth allows you to walk through worked stone or rock, or through metals at half the distance. Picking re allows you to walk through natural ames or lava at half the distance, and by choosing water

Pasts Faade
Transmutation [Age, Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 5, Brd 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: One hour/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell transforms the touched creatures body, returning it to a more youthful form. The creature can be rejuvenated back to its adult age but no further. Only the creatures physical age is affected, its mind remains untouched. Any penalties the creature has experienced due to aging can be undone using this spell. An old hag can be returned to a beautiful and youthful maiden, an aged warrior whose strength has left him can be returned to his physical prime but with all the benets of his well-earned experience. It is often said that chronomancers do not age. While, to some extent, this is true, more often than not, chronomancers simply use this spell. This spell cannot prevent death from old age and the creature ages normally while it operates. When the spell wears off, the creature is exactly the same age as he would have been had the spell never been cast.

When the pearl hits (either as ranged or melee attack), it breaks and releases a ash of intense light. The target struck takes 1d6 points of damage plus 1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Creatures in the splash area (including the target struck and the wielder, if not you) must make a Fortitude save or be dazzled for 1d4 rounds. Undead creatures struck take 2d6 points of damage + 2 points per caster level (maximum +10) and must save or be blinded for 2d4 rounds. Undead creatures in the splash area take 1d6 points of damage plus one point per caster level (maximum +5) and must save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. The ash from the pearl of brilliance as it breaks counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level. A darkness spell of equal or higher level counters or dispels pearl of brilliance. Material Component: A ball of pine resin or candle wax.

Pearl of Brilliance

Effect: One gleaming silvery sphere in your palm Duration: 1 minute/level or until expended (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude partial Spell Resistance: Yes A gleaming pearl-sized silver sphere appears in your palm, glowing as brightly as a candle. You can use the pearl to make a melee touch attack or throw it as a splash weapon, making a ranged touch attack with a maximum range of 60 feet. If the sphere is wielded by any other creature, treat it as an improvised melee weapon (4 nonprociency penalty on attack rolls) or as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet.

high, centred on you Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: Yes This spell creates a cloud of deadly plague vapours that carries every form of virulent disease known to man. The diseases contained within the cloud are made stronger and even more contagious by the magic which transmits them, meaning even the hardiest of victims will be hard pressed to resist infection. When the spell is cast, a voluminous, noxious greenish grey cloud begins to billow forth from the casters every pore, lling the spells radius in the space of a single breath. The cloud remains in place for 1 round per 2 caster levels, and then disperses. While the cloud remains, everyone within the area of effect (save the caster) is immediately exposed to one or more virulent diseases each round.

The phantasmal force has the base attack bonus of the caster and deals 1d6 points of nonlethal damage on each successful attack. Note that because the phantasm is inside the creatures mind, the phantasm can always use a full-attack action. If disbelieved or if the creature leaves the casters line of sight, the phantasmal force immediately dissipates.

If disbelieved or if the creature leaves the casters line of sight, the phantasmal force immediately dissipates.

Will disbelief saving throws, such as a phantasmal alchemists re. Note, however, that phantasmal items do not count towards having real items of that type, for example phantasmal thieves tools do not help thieves pick locks (in fact, a thief would probably realise that the thieves tools were not real once he tried to use them) and neither would a phantasmal alchemists lab help an alchemist in his creation of items.

Duration: Concentration + 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: Yes You create a phantasmal image of an item in the minds of all within visual range of the material component. The item mimicked by this spell can have a value up to 25 gp. A weapon created via this spell is not real in any way, however those who fail their Will disbelief saves do suffer normal damage from the weapon until they disbelieve. Armour or shields created in this way provide half the normal armour bonus to AC (rounded down, minimum of +1) against enemies that fail their Will disbelief saves. This is due to the attacker attempting to work around the characters armour and thus not taking full advantage of the weaknesses in the characters real armour. Note that the armour bonus of the real armour and phantasmal armour do not stack, though a phantasmal shield would stack with real armour and vice versa. Once a creature successfully disbelieves the phantasmal armour or shield, it no longer provides any armour class bonus to the wearer and the wearer uses their normal AC.

Effect: One quasi-real siege engine Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No A favourite spell of wizards attached to mercenary companies, this spell creates a temporary siege engine that you and your allies may crew and re. In addition, each time you prepare the engine for ring, it magically creates its own ammunition. This makes it much easier to prepare the weapon for attack, increasing its rate of re. The type of siege engine created depends on your caster level. * Level 7 to 11: You may create a ballista. It takes 2 rounds to prepare this weapon for ring. The ballista counts as silver for overcoming damage reduction. (3d6 damage) Level 12 to 16: You may create a ballista as above or a light catapult. It takes 3 rounds to prepare the catapult for ring.

Plague
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 50 ft. Effect: Cloud spreads in a 50 ft. radius, 50 ft. high, centred on you Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: Yes A more virulent form of the pestilence spell, plague infects its victims with multiple, exquisitely deadly diseases. Each round any living being remains within the area of effect, he must roll twice on the following table. The exact effects and base save DCs of the above diseases can be found in the DMG. The bolstering power of magic makes these diseases much more lethal; add the spells level to the diseases base save to determine the actual save DC. The plague spell is far more insidious than pestilence. For the length of the spells duration, and for 1d4 rounds after, any being who comes within 5 feet of a being who spent at least one round within the spells radius must also save against disease, as though he himself had entered the spells area of effect; saves are attempted against the diseases normal DC (meaning the spells level is not added to the DC) and a failed save means the victim contracts the specic disease, or diseases, the carrier was exposed to. For the purposes of transmission, the diseases carried by plague are considered to be inhaled, meaning those who do not breathe or can successfully hold their breath for the spells duration do not risk infection. Likewise, there is no incubation period for diseases transmitted via the spell, so all effects are instantaneous.

Planar Breach
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Duration: 10 rounds Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (object, see text) Spell Resistance: None An extremely dangerous spell, and one that knows no friends, planar breach tears open the barriers between the planes and forms a ragged rift of wild energies and destructive forces. Essentially, the spellcaster begins a powerful summoning spell and lets it go out of control after determining the focal point anywhere within range. At that point, a 10-foot long by 5-foot wide wall rips open and remains open for the entire duration of the spell. Every creature in range of the spell is moved 5 feet each round towards the rift with no save or spell resistance allowed to resist this pull. Dimensional anchor prevents the forced motion. Creatures holding onto fastened structures, such as walls, must make a Strength check DC 25 every round

of the spells duration to avoid being pulled towards the rift as described above. If the movement of any creature, for any reason, takes it through this wall, it instantly disappears and must make a Fortitude save. Failure results in disintegration as massive dimensional stress tears them apart. Creatures and objects that succeed at the save are ung to a random plane as the violet layer of a prismatic wall and suffer 5d6 points of force damage from the rough travel. Immunity to disintegration effects prevents the possible death and force damage, but the planar travel still occurs. Dimensional anchor also prevents the disintegration or force damage, but the rift overwhelms it and planar travel still occurs. You are not immune to any effect of this spell and can easily be killed by it. However, you can choose during the casting of planar breach to include a dimensional anchor effect on yourself and any single ally you are in contact with. This raises the casting time to one round.

The Games Master is encouraged to make the return services for this spell costly and/or difcult, discouraging its casual use.

Plausible Excuse
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Duration: 1 day/level Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Targets: One creature/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance Yes Upon casting this spell, those affected by it will believe that you were in their company for a period of time equal to your level in hours (or less, if you so desire at the time of casting). These vague memories will last for a period of days equal to your level. After this time passes, the false memories will fade, as minor details often do. Those individuals unaffected by the spell will have no idea that the spell was cast, but their memories of your presence will conict with those youve enchanted. Material Component: A small mirror left with one of the spells targets or in the location of your alibis presence.

Planar Promise
Conjuration (Calling) Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: 1 hour Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell is an extremely fast version of greater planar ally, based on a simple premise - desperation. When you cast planar promise, you contact your planar ally and make an oath to offer any service it requests in exchange for its immediate help. The service it requests cannot take longer than one hour to perform, as that is the amount of time it is charged to serve you via this spell and it cannot task you to anything self-destructive or suicidal. Other than those limitations, the entity can ask you for anything up to and including the surrender of any single item in your possession or owned by you in another location of up to 100,000 gp in value. Casting this spell binds you as per the spell geas to do as you have promised. Willingly breaking this geas or allowing it to be broken or dispelled renders you unable to cast any calling spell until you full your promise to the planar entity. Once you do, this limitation lifts and you are free to cast said spells again.

Player Instrument
Conjuration (Calling) Level: Brd 3 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./caster level) Target: 1 musical instrument Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You are able to make a musical instrument play as if you were physically playing it, without having to be in contact with the instrument. You must make a Perform check to determine the quality of the playing. The instrument continues to play until you are out of the spells range or the duration expires. You may use this to spell to use your bardic music abilities, but doing so requires a Concentration check each round (DC 15 + damage sustained, if any) and counts as a move action. Focus: The focus is a musical instrument.

Time spent here cannot be used to apply to the eight hours of rest a spellcaster needs to regain spells. However, the paradise has a soothing effect on the minds of those within it. Those who rest at least 10 minutes in the paradise nd themselves cured of the following conditions: cowering, dazed, dazzled, fascinated, frightened, nauseated, panicked, shaken, sickened, and stunned. In addition, they are allowed to make a new save against any other mind-affecting effects they suffer from when they rst enter the pocket paradise. A subject of the spell may opt to leave the paradise at any time before the spells duration expires. Once someone has left, they cannot return. If you leave, the spell ends and everyone remaining inside is ejected as well.

Pocket Paradise
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Brd 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 30 ft. Effect: Extradimensional paradise, up to 30 ft./level radius area Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes To cast this spell, you must render a performance in song, oration or music that evokes the image of a lush paradise. As the casting continues, your description grows more vivid in the minds of the subjects until, after one minute, all subjects nd themselves physically transported to the location you have described. At rst glance, the paradise may seem similar to that created by a magnicent mansion spell. However, the pocket paradise is much more opulent and pleasant. The exact design is left to the bard in question, but typical paradises resemble balmy tropical islands, silk-strewn seraglios or crystal towers atop craggy mountains. Whatever the appearance, the actual total area of the paradise is a 30-foot radius per caster level. Those within the paradise nd themselves the subject of pampered treatment at the hands of a staff of illusory servitors; again, the exact design of these servitors is left to you. Although there is delicious food and sweet drink in plenty, all of this is illusion, and provides no sustenance. Further, any rest gained while in the paradise is eeting, and those exiting nd themselves just as fatigued as they were when they went in.

Poetic License
Transmutation Level: Brd 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 24 hours Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes With this spell, the bard is able to attach a negative or positive stigma to another person using creative storytelling. This stigma may cast the person in such a light that all of his past deeds become more heroic, increasing his renown and reputation as a result; or, the spell may socially damage him, extolling his wickedness and ruthlessness, making it more likely that those whom he meets react unfavourably. When the bard casts the spell, he decides whether the person receives a +2 or -2 enhancement bonus for social interactions only. This bonus applies to the use of the following skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate or Perform. This bonus also applies to any generic Charisma check that is made in a social situation. This spells effect may only be cancelled through use of a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse or wish spell. A target may only be affected by a single casting of this spell at a time. Material Components: A feathered quill and high quality ink worth at least 30 gp.

Poison Weapon
Conjuration (Creation) [Poison] Level: Asn1, Clr 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 This spell functions like magic weapon, except that instead of gaining a magical enhancement, the weapon becomes coated with magically created injury poison. The Fortitude DC of the poison is 13. The initial and secondary damage of the poison is 1d4 points of Dexterity damage.

The instability tends to make the storm much more violent, forcing Profession (sailor) checks every round to keep the ship on course. The portals are always large enough to sail a ship through, but larger ships tend to exhaust the power of the spell. Whenever a ship passes through one of these portals, make a caster check. If the result is lower than the DC for the ship types listed below, the spell ends. The caster cannot choose to fail this check, nor is the spell dismissible.

Portal in a Storm
Conjuration (Teleportation) Level: Clr 7, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: See text Effect: Creates a number of magical portals to other planes within a storm Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell may only be cast within a storm. It creates a dangerous instability within the storm, so that every ash of lightning opens a momentary portal to another random plane of existence. These portals exist until the next lightning bolt closes the current portal and opens another nearby, within 1d10x250 feet. A Spot check (DC 20) is needed to sight the currently open portal. Each portal looks quite different, so a character can make a Knowledge (the planes) check (DC 15) to identify the plane that the portal goes to. (Portals to far-off or little-known planes may exhibit very odd characteristics, making the Knowledge check much more difcult).

Under normal circumstances, the portal changes every 1d6 rounds, whenever the lightning ashes. Spells that create electrical effects, such as lightning bolt, call lightning or even a shocking grasp discharge will trigger a new portal. A random portal leads to the following plane: d20 1-7 8-11 12-13 14-15 16-17 18-19 20 Plane Plane of Water Plane of Air Plane of Fire Plane of Earth Astral Plane An outer plane The portal appears on top of the ship roll again, but the ship is automatically transported.

This spell functions like a plane shift the ship arrives 5d% miles from a desired location. The portal usually links to another storm at sea on the destination plane, if such a phenomenon exists. However, the spell is not guaranteed to deposit the ship in a sea. Portal in a storm is one-way, although it can be cast on another plane in the hopes of opening a portal back to the Prime Material Plane (replace the current plane with the Prime Material Plane in the above table).

Material Component: A forked lighting rod, which must be thrown overboard. If the caster uses a forked rod for a particular plane (see plane shift), there is a 25% chance per portal that it leads to that desired plane.

For the purposes of this spell, any spell that requires a melee or ranged attack roll counts as a physical attack. Once cast, you may not choose to allow the next attack to hit without making an attempt to block it, nor can you suspend the protection to allow a benecial spell that would normally be blocked.

Portents and Omens


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 feet + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature/2 levels Duration: One hour Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell makes the caster acutely aware of the world around him, letting him take special note of subtle signs that can foretell the future. More importantly, this spell allows the caster to directly manipulate these signs to improve his luck or impair that of others. If the caster wishes to improve his own future, this spell provides a +1 luck bonus to all ability checks, skill checks, saving throws and attack rolls. If the caster wishes to exacerbate the future of others, each desired target in range gets a Will save to negate the spells effect. Failure to save against the portents and omens means the target suffers a 1 luck penalty to all ability checks, skill checks, saving throws and attack rolls. Neither of these effects can be dispelled once the spell has been cast but dissipate automatically when the duration expires.

Enchantment (Creation) [Sonic] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature with up to 150 hit points Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes You choose any one creature in range and speak a single word of power. If the target creature has 50 hit points or less, it is instantly struck deaf permanently. This has all of the effects of the deafness spell and can be cured the same way. Creatures with 51-75 hit points are deafened for one full day. If the target has more than 76 hit points, it is only deafened for 1d4+1 minutes. If a creature has more than 150 hit points, it cannot be targeted by this spell at all.

Power Word Fear


Enchantment (Creation, Fear) Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Any number of creatures with up to 60 total hit points within a 15-foot radius sphere Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A single word echoes from you and lls the area of effect with an unsettling magical energy. All affected targets, beginning with the lowest hit points and adding another creature until the hit point limit is reached, act as if struck with the cause fear spell. Any creature with more than 20 hit points is only affected for one round, but weaker targets ee in panic as per the cause fear spell for 1d4+1 rounds.

Power Word Block


Conjuration (Creation) [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No With the utterance of a single word, you conjure a waiting pulse of pure magical force. The next physical attack that would strike you is met with this force and deected harmlessly. Only an attack that would have hit you is deected this way, though the spell will act to save your familiar if it is in contact with you instead.

points within a 15-foot radius sphere Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A potent echo of agony accompanies your spoken word, shrieking through the spells area of effect and driving target creatures to their knees through the crushing force of overwhelming pain. The spells targets, beginning with the lowest hit points and adding another creature until the hit point limit is reached, act as if struck with a symbol of pain spell and are considered prone for one full round after being affected. Unlike the symbol spell, this affect only lasts 1d4 rounds. If any given target creature has more than 30 hit points, it is only affected for 1 round and is not forced prone at all. Conversely, any target with fewer than ve hit points in the area of effect dies instantly from agonising shock with no save possible.

Power Word Push


Enchantment (Creation, Force) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./level) Target: Any creature with fewer than 20 hit points or any object under 50 pounds Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes

The echo of this spells single word strikes any applicable target creature or object you can draw line of sight and line of effect on. It does no physical damage, but the target moves immediately to the end of the spells range in as straight a line as possible. If it collides with a solid object during this motion, both it and the object suffer equivalent falling damage equal to the distance travelled from the original position to where it impacted. The spells imparted motion ends immediately if this occurs. If the impacted object is capable of doing so, it may make a Reex save to avoid the pushed object or creature.

You utter a single word of power that causes one target creature within range of the spell to y into a blind, murderous rage, whether the creature can hear the word or not. The duration of the spell depends on the targets current hit point total. Any creature that currently has 101 or more hit points is unaffected by power word rage. Any creature affected by power word rage immediately ies into a murderous frenzy, attacking the closest creature to him with little regard for his own safety. This rage approximates that of a barbarian (see PHB), except the target of the spell does not distinguish friend from foe. He does, however, gain all ability bonuses and the Will saving throw bonus. He may not use any skills based on Charisma, Dexterity or Intelligence (even those normally useable by raging barbarians), nor may he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, spell trigger or spell completion to function. At the end of the spell, the target is fatigued as a barbarian would be after raging.

Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: See text This spell is used to intercept incoming missile attacks. Upon casting this spell, an invisible defensive eld comes into being around the spells recipient. Whenever the recipient is the target of a missile attack (arrows, bolts, javelins, thrown spears, and so on.) the eld activates and destroys the missile. Normal missiles receive no save, however enchanted missiles (+1 arrow, +1 aming bolt and so on) receive a Fortitude save equal to the attackers base Fortitude save bonus + the enchanted missiles effective magic bonus (see the DMG for more information about magic weapons and their effective magic bonus). The number of counter missiles available to the recipient is equal to 1 + 1 per two caster levels (maximum 5). When all counter missiles have been used, the eld dissipates.

The inexorable power of sleep lls the area of effect when you speak this powerful word. The spell selects targets one at a time, beginning with the lowest hit points rst and adding another target until it reaches its limit. If a new target creature would take the total over 100, that target is unaffected. Targets of this word are immediately knocked unconscious as per the sleep spell. Individual creatures with more than 40 hit points only are asleep for 1d4 rounds, creatures with 20 to 39 hit points are asleep for one minute and weaker creatures are rendered unconscious until awakened or eight hours pass.

Evocation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: See text Target: A creature scrying you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: Yes If you become aware that you are being scried, either through a check or a detect scrying spell, you channel a blast of destructive energy at the scrier. The energy deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (10d6 maximum). This spell does not provide any information about the scrier. The damage harms only the scrier, and not the means of scrying (a mirror or crystal ball). It does not disrupt the scrying attempt unless, of course, the scrier is killed or knocked unconscious. Alternatively, rather than channelling a blast of destructive energy, you can channel a single-target spell effect of 3rd level or lower at the scrier. Spells requiring touch or an attack roll cannot be channelled. Since you have no

First, the subject of this spell receives a +2 deection bonus to Armour Class and a +2 resistance bonus to saves against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of re creatures. Second, the barrier blocks bodily contact by summoned or conjured re creatures. This causes the natural weapons of re creatures to fail and the creature to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. This protection against summoned and conjured creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and to touch the warded creature.

The resulting explosion is identical to that of a reball in all respects, dealing 10d6 points of re damage. Each round after the initial explosion, on your initiative, the spell detonates another reball at the same target point. Each additional reball deals 2d6 less damage than the previous rounds explosion. Creatures caught in the blast radius must make a Reex save or suffer full damage each time they are caught in an explosion. A successful dispel magic cast on the target point will negate this spell. Material Components: Twelve pebble-sized pieces of sulphur tied together by a length of string.

Commonly used to seal spellbooks and scrolls from the damaging effects of immersion in water, this spell remains in effect until dispelled. However, it will not protect the objects from other damaging effects, even if water related crushing damage from being at depth or heat damage from steam, for example. Material Focus: Object to be protected.

free action on his turn once per round, choosing from the following effects: arcane eye, clairvoyance, detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect magic, detect poison, detect scrying, detect secret doors, detect undead or see invisibility. While this spell is in effect, a pale, magical light surrounds the casters eyes, conferring the constant effects of a darkvision spell. These effects call for saving throws as normal but the DC is based on the pure sight spell. In addition, as long as at least one hour remains in pure sights duration, the caster can change its detection ability to duplicate the effects of arcane true seeing. This effect will last for one hour, cannot be changed and ends the pure sight spell immediately after the hour has elapsed.

Evocation [Cold] Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One item or creature Duration: See text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (object) Spell Resistance Yes (object) A creature affect by a quick freeze suffers 1d4 damage per level of the casting (10d4 maximum). In addition, the subject can only take a single move or standard action on the following round and suffers a 2 penalty to AC, melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls and Reex saves during that time, as well as halved jumping distance. Alternatively, a single object may be hit with a quick freeze. The objects effective hardness is halved until the end of the following round, making it easier to break or shatter.
Material Components: A sprinkling of mercury, silver dust and pure water.

Pyrotic Caress
Transmutation [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. Targets who suffer the effect of this spell burst into ame. This deals 2d6 re damage each round for one round per caster level. Applicable targets that contact the target must make a Fortitude save or catch a secondary effect that deals 1d6 re damage on them per round for as long as the target has left on its effects duration. The effect must be negated on any being affected separately; thus, if a target is neutralised, any secondary effect it may have spawned continues. If a target is slain with this spell and any duration remains on the spells effect, the corpse burns to ashes one round later and the effect ends. You are immune to catching secondary and tertiary effects yourself. Focused Effect: Secondary effects are 2d6 instead and they can spawn tertiary effects that deal 1d6.

Rain of Putrescence

The rainfall of waste obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). Any creature attempting to move within or through the area must succeed at a Balance check (DC 5 if moving at one-quarter speed, DC 10 if moving at half speed, DC 15 if moving at full speed, and DC 20 if running or charging).

Raise City
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 day Range: Special Targets: Ruined settlement Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No There are few spells more powerful in the necromancers repertoire than the ability to raise an entire civilisation from death. This is the ultimate goal of many practitioners who do not quest solely for undeath themselves, the animation and control of an entire legion of skeletons ready to do their bidding. From the ruins of an ancient town or city, you will cause skeletons to claw their way out of the ground, to rise up in perfect servitude to your every demand. You must be upon the site of a ruined and deserted settlement to cast this spell successfully. Complete skeletons are not required for the use of this powerful spell (scattered dust and bones are just ne) but no sentient creature must have lived within the settlement for at least 50 years. Once cast, a number of skeletons will animate in accordance with the size of the settlement, as it was when it was inhabited. A small village will yield between 60-600 skeletons, a town between 800-8,000 and a city

between 1,000-10,000. The skeletons will be under your complete control until destroyed. A destroyed skeleton cannot be reanimated again and once cast, this spell may never be cast again by any other wizard in the same location. The skeletons are unable to venture further than 25 miles from the settlement. Any ordered to do so will instantly crumble to dust and are destroyed. Material Component: Ruined, deserted settlement and a collection of items from the ruined settlement worth at least 5,000 gp. The items are consumed in the casting, the settlement itself remains intact after the skeletons have risen. XP Cost: 1 XP per skeleton raised.

Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 day Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Targets: One or more sunken ships Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Few necromancers ever uncover the secret knowledge to perform one of the most awesome acts of the art the raising of an entire eet of death hulks. Such an action is worthy of the very greatest of arcane spellcasters and history itself may be changed as a powerful undead eet suddenly appears to destroy a n a t i o n s shipping. One or more sunken ships must be in range of the spellcaster for this spell to have any effect. Raise death eet will cause up to one ship per spell caster level to rise to the surface of the sea, where they will be magically seaworthy and under the full control of the necromancer.

Any type of ship may be raised this way and they will have a full complement of crew, usually zombies, though skeletons may also appear if the ships have lain at the bottom of the sea for more than a year. The Games Master is the nal arbitrator of the ship types and the nature of their crew. Material Component: One or more sunken ships and the corpse of a renowned sea captain.

Raise Death Hulk


Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Target: One sunken ship Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No One of the most awesome feats any necromancer can hope to perform is the raising of a sunken ship from the sea oor, complete with undead crew, to be brought to the surface under the total control of the practitioner. Such death hulks are the stuff of legend, kept aoat through powerful magicks, despite the great holes in their hulls through which the sea ows freely. Animated skeletons and zombies patrol the deck, performing all the tasks they did in life and forming a frightening boarding party when the ship goes into battle. A sunken ship must be in range of the spellcaster for this spell to have any effect. Raise death hulk will cause the ship to rise to the surface of the sea, where it will be magically seaworthy and under the full control of the necromancer. A destroyed death hulk cannot be raised from the sea again. Regardless of the amount of times this spell is cast, only a single death hulk may be controlled at any one time by a single caster.

Ramble of the Mad


Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Targets: 1d4 + 1 HD/3 levels of creatures Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will (negates) Spell Resistance: Yes This spell has become a bane of wizards, bards and spellcasters that use verbal components. With this spell, the subjects, 1d4 + 1 HD/3 levels of creatures, are affected by the ramble of the mad. The wizard designates a target; the rst person to become the target of this spell and those around him becomes the next targets, starting with those closest to him and of the lowest HD. The affected talk as they usually would, believing in their own speech, but they sound really mad and makes no sense to their surroundings. The targets cannot communicate with each other for the duration of the spell, and any spellcasters affected will not be able to cast their spells. If their spells have no verbal components or can be cast using Silent Spell, they

Ray of Decay
Necromancy Level: Clr 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes When this spell is cast, a ray of dark and sizzling negative energy shoots from the casters nger. The caster must succeed at a ranged touch attack, and if successful, this ray deals 1d3 points of negative energy damage. There is a stench of decay that extends from the new wound.

Rapturous Touch
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Once a successful touch attack has been achieved on the target, this spell makes the target perceive any further touches by the caster to be extremely pleasurable. This rapture can be very distracting and can even become more than the target can stand, knocking it unconscious. Every successful touch attack after the rst deals 1d4 non-lethal damage and 1 point of Wisdom damage. The saving throw for this spell is made when the rst touch attack occurs. If successful, it does not take effect. If this save fails, rapturous touch affects the target. Thereafter, no save is allowed for the touch attacks. The Wisdom returns in one hour, regardless of the amount lost, but the nonlethal damage must be healed normally. Because of the nature of this spell, the touch attacks cannot be combined with any form of damaging effect, including using the casters Strength bonus (if any). Any actual hit point damage caused by the caster in any way during this spell ends it immediately and returns all the lost Wisdom to the target.

Razor the Vein


Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One piercing or slashing weapon Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: See below The casters weapon is sharpened to a cruel edge by the means of this spell and the wounds it inicts continue to bleed long after the injury is inicted. Each time he successfully strikes with a piercing or slashing weapon, the wound continues to bleed at the rate of 1 hit point per round, until either the spells duration ends, or the victim succeeds at a Fortitude save against a DC of 10 + one half the casters level. Multiple strikes have a cumulative effect, with each requiring its own save to staunch. The application of any form of cure spell, the quafng of a cure potion or the successful application of a Heal check (DC 10 + one half caster level) will immediately staunch all bleeding. Material Component: A strip of bloody esh, which must be sliced in half at the time of casting.

Rats Grace
Transmutation Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Rats grace grants the target amazing uidity of motion. The target gains a +1 dodge bonus to his AC, with an additional +1 for every three levels you have (maximum +7 at 18th level). While under the inuence of rats grace, the character constantly moves with nervous energy and may have trouble (Concentration check DC 20) standing still for more than one round.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: No This spell creates several eldritch traps that are triggered when a creature enters one of the affected squares. The caster indicates which areas are trapped when the spell is cast, with the following restrictions: * * One 5 foot square may be trapped per caster level.

2nd Round: Presence or absence of strong impressions from the past. A sense of the areas original purpose, if not already evident. 3rd Round: Presence or absence of moderate impressions from the past. A sense of the general kinds of activities that have taken place in the area for the past decade, if not already evident. 4th Round: Presence or absence of weak impressions from the past. A sense of the general kinds of activities that have taken place in the area for the past century, if not already evident.

* A razor trap may not be placed adjacent to another razor trapped square. All squares must be within the spells range, but the range is counted as a radius centred on the caster. Thus, a 10th level caster could put one trapped square 800 feet ahead of him and another 800 feet behind him without penalty.

The kinds of impressions this spell can reveal are noted below. If a past event falls into more than one category, use the stronger category: * Weak: A non-violent crime; casting a spell of 6th to 8th level; the creation or destruction of a medium magic item. Moderate: A murder or other violent crime; a wedding or other celebration involving ordinary people; the casting of a 9th level spell; the creation or destruction of a major magic item; extensive damage, repairs, or alterations to the area. Strong: The birth or death of a ruler or famous hero; the casting of an epic spell; a wedding or other celebration involving a ruler or famous hero; the creation or destruction of a great work of art; a famous battle; a mass murder; extensive destruction and reconstruction of the area. Extreme: The birth or death of a god or legendary hero; a wedding or other celebration involving a god or legendary hero; the creation or destruction of an artefact; an epic battle.

When a creature steps into a trapped square, the razor trap is activated and causes 1d6 points of damage per level (maximum 10d6) to the unfortunate standing in the trapped square. This immediately halts the creatures movement, although if the creature made its Reex save for half damage it may take an additional 5 foot step in any direction after the trap is triggered. A razor trapped square can be detected with a successful Spot check (DC 20). When successfully spotted, a trapped square seems to glitter with a faint red light. A rogue that is able to disarm magical traps can disarm an individual razor trapped square (DC 28). Material components: A silver razor blade and a length of silver wire (value 75 gp).

Spell Descriptions

When this spell reveals an impression, you can make an Intelligence check to discern how long ago the event occurred and its general details, including what happened (a murder as opposed to a wedding), how many items or beings were involved (a battle between two high-level heroes or two low-level armies), and what kinds of creatures or objects were present. The DC for the check depends on the events original (not apparent) intensity: weak (DC 20), moderate (DC 15), strong (DC 12) or extreme (DC 10). If you have a Knowledge skill appropriate to the impression, such as Knowledge (arcana) when trying to sense a locations magical history, you can make a skill check instead. Making the check is a free action, but you can check only one impression each round. Material Component: A saucer of water or a few tealeaves.

to remember it. You can extend your senses back in time for 10 years per caster level. The actual event sensed is at the discretion of the Games Master. Material Component: An appropriate offering for the spirits.

Recall Spirit
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Targets: One corpse Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Through the use of this spell, you can summon a spirit back to the body that it once inhabited. Recall spirit may be cast on a body that has lost its spirit, through the effects of spells such as magic jar and astral projection or on a corpse that has subsequently caused the creation of an undead creature. If used for the latter, the undead creature may make a Will save to resist the attempt. Failure will result in its destruction. Material Component: A live rook.

Read Spirit Echo


Divination Level: Brd 3, Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: All spirits within a 25-ft. + 5 ft./2 levelsradius spread, centred on caster Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You can read the memories of a locations spirits to know about events that happened there in the past. Glades, hills, clearings and even city locations have spirits that remember past events, especially if they generated intense emotions in the people inside their area. You can build a mental image by contacting the spirit. Events that provoke strong emotions are the most likely to be remembered by the spirits, or that create spirits themselves large battles, powerful spellcasting, great joy or great pain. Common events are too weak and generic to leave an impression. The images evoked are ghostlike, and you do not learn anything about the people involved in the event. For example, a shaman casts this spell in a ruined fort. The vision obtained is that of a ght among an orc warband and a forts defenders. When the orcs breach the walls, the civilians try to escape by any means possible, even stepping and trampling over each other. The strongest emotion is panic. You can read a single event per round of concentration, if there ever was any or if there is even a spirit present

Recurring Image
Illusion (Figment) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Effect: Visual, audio, olfactory and thermal gment that cannot extend beyond 20 ft. cube + 1 ft. cube/ level Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: No As programmed image, except recurring image follows a predetermined script decided upon by the caster. The illusion then follows that script without the caster having to concentrate on it and repeats it after a predetermined amount of time (maximum of 10 minutes per caster level) or upon a specic triggering condition (see crafted gment for more details on triggers). The illusion created can include intelligible speech if the character wishes. For instance, the character could create the reoccurring illusion of several orcs playing cards and arguing, culminating in a stght. The spell then repeats this

Red Hourglass
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One target Duration: 24 hours or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes By the casting of this spell, an unwitting victim is infused with a deadly poison that is transmitted by touch. On a failed save, the victim is suffused with a potentially deadly poison which is nearly undetectable and which cannot harm them in any fashion. Upon command by the caster, the poison in their veins quickens and begins to ooze imperceptibly from their pores; the next person they touch is immediately affected by the poison. The victim of the poison suffers 1d10 points of initial Constitution damage, and another 1d10 points of Constitution damage one minute later. Each instance of damage can be resisted with a successful Fortitude save against a DC equal to 10 + one half the casters level + the casters Intelligence bonus. After the poison is delivered, a red hourglass, much like that on the thorax of a black widow, appears on the poison carriers palm, announcing to all that he was the carrier. This hourglass stain is permanent, and can only be removed with a remove curse, limited wish, miracle or wish spell. Once successfully cast upon a victim, the red hourglass spell remains dormant until the caster chooses to activate it with a silent mental command. This command takes effect regardless of considerations of distance, and can be given years or even centuries after the spell is cast, making red hourglass an extremely effective method of subtle assassination and terror. Material Component: A live black widow spider, which is slain in the casting.

Target: Creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell can remove any unnatural ageing the creature has experienced within one hour per level before this spell is cast. This duration is based on the creatures own personal experience of the passage of time. Time spent under the inuence of one of the spells that carries a subject into the future (future dispatcher) is added to this duration. Articial ageing induced before this duration cannot be removed using this spell. Material Component: A lock of hair from a young, healthy child.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes This spell uses the same power that a calling spell channels to inict incredible damage against an outsider or summoned creature. You reach out, invoke the spell and attempt to call the target creature to your presence. However, halfway through the spell, you simply release the binding energies to the ether and let the targets physical substance unravel before it arrives. This is sheer agony for the target, which suffers damage equal to its current hit point total if it fails a Fortitude save. Succeeding at the save results in half this damage. No form of damage reduction or resistance effect mitigates this damage, though a dimensional anchor spell negates the grasp completely. If the target survives this spell, it appears 5 feet from you in any direction it chooses.

evenly amongst all the creatures you touch. This spell does not allow creatures to breath water, only keep them and any possessions they carry perfectly dry when immersed. If used against an [aquatic] creature, it will effectively suffocate them for the duration of the spell. The rules for suffocation may be found in DMG.

Repercussion
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round per level (D) As lesser repercussion, but the damage returned is 100% of what is done to you. All other facets of this spells effects (applicable attack types, Fortitude save for half damage and so on) are unchanged. You can choose at the time of casting, as with the previous spell, to make your repercussion damage nonlethal, but this decision cannot be changed during the duration of the spell afterward.

Repair Ship
Transmutation Level: Clr 2, Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Targets: One ship touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Through the use of this spell, you are able to knit together smashed timbers and ripped sails, restoring a ship a small way to its original seaworthiness. Through using repair ship, you automatically repair 1d3 structure points to any vessel that has sustained damage. If a ship has been reduced to 1 to 9 structure points, repair ship will stop it losing further structure points and eventually sinking. Material Component: A small piece of timber.

Repercussion, Greater
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round per level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes As lesser repercussion, but the damage returned is 150% of what is done to you. All other facets of this spells effects (applicable attack types, Fortitude save for half damage, and so on.) are unchanged. You can choose at the time of casting, as with the previous spell, to make your repercussion damage nonlethal, but this decision cannot be changed during the duration of the spell afterward.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes This spell surrounds you in a billowing aura of force that covers you completely from head to toe. This aura glows, but does not provide sufcient illumination to act as a light source. While lesser repercussion is active, the wearer cannot make effective Hide checks against a target he does not have at least 50% cover from. The aura cannot be concealed through illusion or other means without negating its effects completely. While this spell is active, any melee weapon, touch, or unarmed attack that successfully hits you and does damage has 50% of that damage rebounded unerringly back on the attacker. A target who successfully evades repercussion damage through spell resistance does not end this spell prematurely and must check again each time this spell attempts to damage it. The damage reected back is a projection of magical force, does not reduce the damage you took initially and only deals 50% of what you actually lost from the attack. It does not react to ranged attacks and spells that do not require a melee touch attack to deal damage are unaffected. Any other form of repercussion supersedes this spell; they do not stack even with their own versions. If you are protected by lesser repercussion and a new copy of the spell is cast on you, its duration becomes the new duration of your effect, its saving throw DC is used, and no other changes occur. At the time of this spells casting, you can choose for all of the damage it reects to be nonlethal. Once this decision is made, it cannot be changed for the duration of the spell. If the spell is ended prematurely and cast again, a new decision can be made. Material Component: 50 gold pieces worth of diamond dust, blown into the air as part of the casting.

combination that the caster decides. While the effect lasts, the creature can use its Listen or Spot modiers to obtain information about smells, sensations or tastes. For example, a caster replaces its sense of touch with his sight, allowing him to roll Spot checks to determine the texture and quality of a material or he can replace his sight for his hearing, enabling him to roll Listen to see in pitch darkness. The creature can end the effect at will.

Retch
Necromancy [Death] Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One target Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes By pulping a piece of necrotic esh between his teeth and spitting the juices, the caster sickens his target, forcing him to retch and heave for a few seconds. A target who fails his Fortitude save to resist the effects of this spell is rendered nauseated for one round. Material Component: A piece of rotting esh.

Revealing Light
Evocation [Light] Level: Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Targets: Creatures in a 10 ft. radius Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes When cast, a light (colour is of the casters choice) shines over all creatures in a 10-foot-radius area, illuminating them. This light grants a +1 circumstance bonus to all ranged attacks against these creatures for the duration of the spell. Creatures within the affected area may leave the area of effect at any time, since the affected area cannot move.

Replace the Senses


Transmutation Level: Brd 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You can change how one creature perceives the world, exchanging the input of one sense for another.

Spell Descriptions

Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You can force one ranged physical (non-spell) attack back at its source each round as a free action. The attack retains its initial attack roll to determine whether it hits the source and deals damage normally. Thus, if an archer res an arrow at you with an attack roll of 25, you reect it back at the archer, striking if the archers Armour Class is 25 or less. You must be aware of the attack and not at-footed, however.

Rotting Wound
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You or weapon touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No Casting this spell infects a weapon of the casters choice with lth fever. Any successful attack roll made with the weapon which causes damage while the spell is active has the chance to infect the target with a magically enhanced case of lth fever. The lth fever inicted by this spell has no incubation period; its effects are immediate. Anyone struck by a weapon enhanced by rotting wound must make a Fortitude save (DC 12) or be infected, immediately losing 1d3 Dexterity and 1d3 Constitution. Once infected, the character cannot be infected again for additional loss of ability scores. The disease, once it takes effect, is considered normal in all ways and may be cured by either magical or mundane means. Material Component: A phial of sewage.

Ribbon of Light
Evocation [Light] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A brilliant ribbon of pure white light leaps from your hand towards the target. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. A creature struck by this ray of light takes 1d4 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d4). However, a successfully struck aberration or outsider takes 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d8).

Rupture the Eye


Evocation Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (see text) Spell Resistance No A spark of blinding light leaps from the casters hand and explodes in the targets face, searing its face and causing the viscous uid in its eyes to boil and possibly rupture. The victim of rupture the eye must make a successful Fortitude save or take 6d6 points of damage and be permanently blinded. A successful save halves this damage and avoids the blindness effect. Eyes destroyed in this fashion can be restored by a regeneration or wish spell.

Rooty Feet
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 1, Drd 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Targets: 1 target Duration: 2 hours/level Saving Throws: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell causes the targets feet to sprout long, twisty root forms. Though no actual discomfort is caused by this reaction, boots and shoes may be destroyed in the outbreak, and the target may experience difculty in walking about. The targets base movement is reduced to one half normal speed for the duration of the spell. Material Component: An old rotted piece of tree root

Scourge
Transmutation [Judicial Curse] Level: Clr 7, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Special (4 miles/level + 4 miles/point of ceremonial force) Target: One living creature Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes A scourge is an extremely powerful form of bestow curse. It can be cast over a vast distance; as a result, it is often used to punish heretics and criminals who cannot be brought to face justice. As it is a judicial curse, the saving throw of the spell can be increased through the use of ceremonial force. When you cast scourge you can choose to duplicate any of the effects of malediction or you can select one of the following effects: * Ageing: The victim ages one year at the start of each day. The victim may be sentenced to lose ten years of her life in prison but it will only take ten days. Barren Touch: Any food or drink touched by the victim spoils. Any plants he tills die. Any Heal check he makes automatically fail and any cure spells he casts have a 50% chance of becoming inict spells of the same level. Ignominy: Anyone who comes into contact with the victim will forget any noble or valorous deeds she has done, while clearly remembering any crimes she has committed or mistakes she has made. People will attribute the characters greatest achievements to other people (other party members, for example, or legendary heroes). If the curse is lifted, these memories will return. Ostracism: The victim is surrounded by an aura that causes all Non-Player Characters to have a hostile attitude towards him. This also results in a permanent 6 penalty to the victims Charisma score, to a minimum score of 1. People cannot explain why they do not like the victim he just seems suspicious and hateful. NPC allies and friends can resist this somewhat, but will still nd the character strangely repellent; they may suspect that he has been replaced by a doppelganger, for example. In addition, any sort of spell used to detect alignment will always respond with the *

alignment most hostile to the caster, and discern lies will always show the victim as lying. Poverty: Any precious metal that the victim touches turns to lead. Prohibition: You specify a specic action that the victim cannot take. Do not lie or Do not physically hurt humans will work; impossible or broad requests like Do not breathe or Never hurt anyone in any way will not. Any time that the victim attempts the prohibited action, he must make a Will save (using the DC of the scourge). If he succeeds, he can perform the action unhindered, otherwise he is wracked with extreme pain and stunned for 2d4 rounds.

You can come up with similar effects with your Games Masters permission. A scourge cannot be dispelled or removed with break enchantment. You may choose to release the victim from the scourge at any time although in the case of the curse of ageing, this will not restore lost years to the victim. Remove curse can end the scourge, but only if its caster level is at least two levels higher than your caster level; miracle or wish will also work. Breaking the curse using any of these spells will restore the years lost to mystical ageing. Finally, when you cast the spell you must declare a set of circumstances that will cause the curse to be broken. Depending on the reasons for inicting the scourge, this could range from Save an innocent man from death or Submit to Kheshite justice, to Defeat the demon lord Xarglbarg or even Find true love.

Sculpt Water
Transmutation [Water] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: One 10-ft. cube of water/level Duration: Six hours Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Any water touched by the caster during the casting of this spell is held in place. The caster could shape a puddle of water into a sculpture, or create an arcing tunnel of water between two containers, or create a dry path through the middle of a lake. The eld of force can be pushed through with minimal effect, so a character can step through a wall of water without penalty. This also prevents the caster from making a staircase out of water, for example. When the spell

Seal, First
Divination Level: Brd 1, Wiz/Sor 1 Components: V, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft.+5 ft./2 levels) Target: One target Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You open an empathic channel between yourself and another person. This channel gives them a +10 circumstance bonus to his next Sense Motive check on you. Additionally you receive a +10 circumstance bonus to your next Diplomacy skill check to convince the target that you really do feel what you feel. It is very difcult to lie while under the inuence of this spell. Focus: Any masterwork instrument.

Sea Chanty
Divination Level: Brd 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Effect: The caster learns a new song Duration: Instantaneous When sea chanty is cast, the knowledge of a song appears in the casters mind. This song can give any one of the following benets: * A +2 insight bonus to a Profession (sailor) checks made for seamanship or navigation, as the song contains hints on ship handling or navigation. A lesser effect similar to legend lore, only in the form of a song containing much less information. A song suitable to the occasion, giving the caster a +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma when dealing with sailors or other nautical folk.

Seal, Fourth
Enchantment (Mind-Affecting) Level: Brd 4 Components: V, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Area: 30 ft. radius emanation centred on you Target: One target/level Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You create a zone in which everyone possesses heightened empathic abilities. Everyone within the zone who fails their save gains a +4 modier to their Sense Motive skill checks against anyone in the zone. Additionally, individuals in the zone are at a 4 modier on their ability to resist any mind-affecting spell or ability so long as they remain in the zone. Focus: Any masterwork instrument.

The downside of this spell is that the song is irritatingly catchy. Its simple melody sticks in the characters mind for one day, causing a 1 insight penalty to all Perform checks.

Seal, Fifth
Enchantment (Mind-Affecting) Level: Brd 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft.+5 ft./2 levels) Target: One target Duration: Instantantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You can create a sudden empathic bond between yourself and one target. That target feels an overwhelming surge of alien emotions. If they fail to make a Will save, they take 1d8 per level (maximum 15d8) nonlethal damage. If they succeed, they are dazed for 1d4 rounds by the battering wave of emotion. Focus: Any masterwork musical instrument.

Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 3 Components: V, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Two targets within range Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You can create a telepathic bond between two targets in range. For as long as you concentrate, each target can hear the others thoughts. In addition to making lying and blufng much more difcult (-10 to all Bluff checks, or +10 to an opposed Sense Motive skill check) the two parties can instantly react to the others actions (+2 to their AC if they are attacked by the person they are linked with). Furthermore, they can communicate no matter how much chaos and confusion lies between them. Unwilling targets are allowed a Will save to negate the effect. Once the link is established the bard can maintain it without regard for the targets wishes. Focus: Any masterwork instrument.

The character will always arrive where he needs to be. This destination is a mystery to him until he arrives attempting to divine or determine where he is going by any means breaks the spell. The spell does not ensure he arrives safely or whole a character might cast this spell, run into a storm and be shipwrecked on a deserted island ve hundred miles from anywhere, if that island is where he should be. Essentially, this spell is a wide-open invitation to the Games Master to give the character an adventure. The bardic version of the spell usually results in the character arriving somewhere dramatic and exciting. The divine version brings the character to a location where he can do a service for his deity (and is thus often used as part of a penance or quest), while the arcane version usually draws the character to a nexus of magical power. If two seas of fate spells are cast on the same vessel, it tends to result in a shipwreck that casts both fated individuals apart.

Seas of Fate
Divination [Chaotic] Level: Brd 2, Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous This curious spell may only be cast once per voyage. It puts the ultimate destination of the voyage into the hands of the gods, fate, potent extradimensional beings or the random factors of wind and wave. The spell may only be used when the caster is not sure where he is going it can be cast if the character jumps onto a random ship in the port or if the character is piloting his own vessel.

Their vision remains exactly as it does on dry land, granting them a great advantage over those reliant on more natural means of sight. Gloomy water and darkness affect the subject as normal, however. Material Component: A pair of sh eyes.

You gain instant knowledge of the true name of a single, intelligent creature within the area of effect. This spell works immediately on any creature not attempting to conceal its identity. A target using mundane means to conceal his identity may make a Will save to resist this spell. If he succeeds, the bard learns the false name of the targets choice. If he fails, the bard learns his true name. Mundane means include the Bluff and Disguise skills, getting people to lie for you and forged papers. A target using magical mean to conceal his identity may make a Will save to resist this spell. If he succeeds then the bard learns the false name of the targets choice. If he fails then the bard learns his true name. Additionally the bard knows that a magical spell has interfered with his divination attempt. Magical means include, but are not limited to, innate shapechanging abilities, alter self, change self and polymorph. The target is not alerted to the divination attempt whether he succeeds or fails his save.

Secret Desires
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Targets: One creature touched Duration: 1 round per level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes With but a touch and a few moments concentration, this spell grants understanding of the victims subconscious desires and fears. For the duration of the spell, the caster gains a +1 per caster level insight bonus to all Charisma based skill checks involving the victim. When the spell ends, the victim has no idea he has been manipulated in any fashion. Material Component: A single page of a diary or journal. At the moment of casting, the page burns to ash.

Seductive Smile
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous (see text) This spell grants the caster a gaze attack, usable immediately against the visible target creature of his choice. Once it is in effect, the smile forces the target to make a Will save or become enamoured with the caster. This enamouring will cause the target to suffer a 1 morale penalty to attacks, damage and saving throws. Against the caster and his spells, this penalty worsens to a 2. In addition, if the target is of an appropriate race and sex to be physically attracted to the caster (Games Masters discretion), any attacks made will be nonlethal if possible. If the caster is killed, subdued or becomes invisible or otherwise imperceptible to the target of this spell for longer than 3 rounds, the spell ends immediately. Otherwise, the enamouring effect lasts indenitely. Material Component: A strand of hair from a being with a 16 or higher Charisma.

A successful Will saving throw negates the spell but the following effects occur otherwise: The victim suffers a 1 morale penalty to attack rolls for the rst 1d4 rounds. Then he will enter a pacistic state of mind and stop ghting altogether. Victims of this spell will defend themselves if they are attacked (with no penalty to attack rolls), but they will take no offensive action against anyone, and they will seek to move away from anyone attacking them. For the next 1d4 hours + 1 hour per level of caster, the victim will spend his time thinking upon the inherent pointlessness of conict and the value of simple communication and non-violent interaction. At the end of this period, the victim must make a Will saving throw. Those who fail remain pacistic and will no longer attack save in self-defence. This pacism can be overcome by a successful Will saving throw at a 3 penalty, but such saves may only be attempted once a moth. Material Components: A single feather from a white dove.

sneak attacks or allow accurate targeting however, though it may spoil surprise round possibilities at the Games Masters option. Any action that would disrupt invisibility disrupts sensebane. Unlike invisibility, this spell fades out, remaining in effect for everyone protected by it until the end of the round it was disrupted in. When sensebane fades out, it ceases functioning for everyone protected by that casting of the spell, not just the one that disrupted it.

No other communication of senses is permitted through the use of this spell, nor are special sight or hearing qualities, such as darkvision. Only one such sensory link may be maintained at any one time. The maximum range a sensory link may be maintained between caster and undead is one mile.

Sensebane
Abjuration (Contingent - Illusion) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You and/or creatures touched, up to 1 target per 2 caster levels Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Those protected by sensebane become invisible as per the 2nd level illusion spell of the same name, but this magic works by protecting the targets from detection due to senses of any sort. The warded beings cannot be seen, felt, smelled, tasted or heard. In addition, special senses such as scent or tremorsense are unable to detect the warded creatures accurately, giving the detecting being only a general sense of something present nearby. This is not enough warning to foil

Set Form
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: One polymorphed creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell is only applicable to a creature that has already been polymorphed by a baleful polymorph, polymorph or polymorph any object spell.

permanent, making the new form of the polymorphed creature its natural form, as much as if the creature had been born in the body it now inhabits. Set form effectively ends the polymorph spell, leaving the target creature forever imprisoned in its new form. It is impossible to tell a creature that has been the subject of set form from any normal creature of the targets new species. Even a true seeing spell will not show that the subject ever inhabited a different body. Only a wish, miracle or actual divine intervention is capable of returning the subject of a set form spell to his original form. Set form has no effect on the 9th level shapechange spell. Material Component: A chrysalis inhabited by a living buttery.

Shadow Beast
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No This spell creates a quasi-real beast that serves as both protector and mount for the caster or for one person whom the caster specied during the casting. The beast formed by this spell is 50% real and inky black from head to foot, with insubstantial hooves that make no sound. Those attacked by the beast get a Will disbelief saving throw. If they succeed, they only take half damage from the beasts bite attack and are not affected by its frightful presence. The shadow beast serves the caster or the person specied by the caster unwaveringly. The statistic block for the shadow beast can be located in Appendix I (see pg. 241) Material Component: A masterwork carving of a shadow beast made from obsidian.

Set Loose the Raging Wind


Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 100 feet Target: All creatures within a 100 ft. radius burst centred on you Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Special (see text) Spell Resistance: Special (see text) This spell has no friends, even you. When you cast set loose the raging wind, the air around you explodes outward in a storm burst of gale-force winds, driving rain and crackling lightning. A thunderclap goes off throughout the air, easily audible up to a mile distant in open conditions. Everyone caught in the 100 foot burst is hurled to its outer edge if they are Small or smaller, thrown 30 feet if Medium, 10 feet if they are Large or knocked prone if they are Huge. Larger targets are not signicantly moved. There is no save versus this effect, though if the forced movement would take a target past the edge of a terrain feature (such as a sheer cliff drop and so on), they may make a Reex save to catch the edge at the last moment and end their motion there. For the round of the spells effect, no physical creature or object can approach you or enter the 100-foot burst. Everyone in the radius is automatically deafened for 1d3 rounds, including you. The lightning deals 5d6 electrical damage to each target in the area as well; targets can make a Reex saving throw for half damage and spell resistance applies. You take 2d6 lightning damage and receive no saving throw or spell

Conjuration (Teleportation) Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Area: Spherical emanation from the caster to the range of the spell Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes For the duration of the spell, the casters melee attacks issue forth from any shadow or area of darkness which is within the spells radius; he quite literally reaches out of any shadow within the area of effect at will, to strike with impunity. Each round, the caster can attack any target with the radius of effect as though he were within melee range. He makes all attack rolls as normal, deals damage as appropriate to his weapon (including magical effects, if applicable) and can use any applicable melee feats or special abilities. The caster can use disarm or trip manoeuvres when attacking as well; his opponent can attempt to disarm should the caster fail a disarm check, but he is not subject to retaliatory trip attempts. Likewise, you can strike with unarmed attacks should he so choose, but may not attempt to initiate a grapple. Since the casters attacks can literally come from anywhere, his opponents are considered to be atfooted whenever he makes a melee attack with shadow fangs. For the purposes of attacks of opportunity, the caster does not threaten areas within the spells radius of effect, save those that he normally threatens.

Spell Descriptions

Through this spell, you gather a small amount of negative energy to yourself and then send it as a ball of dark seething power to a target. This force ares for just the briefest instant, weakening and stunning the victim as it is enveloped by a swirling cloud of darkness. The subject temporarily loses 1d4 points of Strength and is treated as stunned on its next round. In addition, the subject suffers a 2 morale penalty to attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks and saving throws for one round per two caster levels. Strength will be regained at the rate of one point per day.

Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: As focus weapon used Target: One creature that casts a shadow Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will dispels (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes You make a touch attack with a piercing weapon against the targets shadow as part of the spellcasting action. If the attack succeeds, the target creature is effectively entangled (2 to attack rolls and 4 to effective Dexterity score) and cannot move from the current spot. Pulling the weapon out of the targets shadow ends the spell, but the enchantment prevents the target from removing it easily. If the target attempts to pull the weapon from his shadow himself, he must make a Will save against the spell and suffers nonlethal damage equal to the weapons normal damage; this damage is halved if he fails his Will save and does not remove the weapon. Focus: The weapon used to make the attack roll.

Shadow Mastery
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: One minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Calling upon dark and twisted powers, you are able to cause an enemys own shadow to rise up against him. This manifestation causes the shadow to cloak itself around its owner, making him very susceptible to attacks formed from negative energy. The subject must be casting a shadow for this spell to have any effect and thus will not work in pitchblackness or against vampires. For the duration of the spell, however, the subject will cast no shadow at all as it envelops his body. A Will save is permitted to negate the effects of this spell. If this is failed, the subject suffers the following penalties for the duration of the spell: * Any necromantic spell which reduces hit points targeted at the subject will automatically cause extra damage equal to the casters level. Any save required to reduce or negate the effects of a necromantic spell suffers an additional 1 penalty. All healing spells will cure less damage than normal, with the reduction in hit points cured being equal to the caster's level.

Shape Boat
Transmutation Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2, Rng 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: One Tiny vessel Duration: 1 day Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Using this spell, the caster can transform any vaguely boat-like object into a semi-seaworthy boat. A druid could turn a fallen log into a dugout canoe or a wizard could set sail in his bathtub. The spell gives the vessel a minimum Seaworthiness and Manoeuvrability of +0 (for more details see Seas of Blood or Classic Play: Book of the Sea.). The spell even patches holes in the hull and holds a broken boat together. Focus: The object to be made into a boat.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes By casting shared minds, the spellcaster enters into a state of subconscious rapport with one or more target creatures. No communication is possible through the link and it does not allow the caster to interrogate the subjects or learn secrets, but it does allow all involved to operate more efciently as part of a greater whole. Each subject of shared minds gains an insight bonus to their attack rolls and skill checks equal to +1 for every full +5 bonus possessed by the most skilled member of the link. In addition, everyone in the link uses the best Will save available in the group. However, a failed Will save by any member of the group affects every member equally. In addition, whenever a member of the link is dealt lethal damage, every other member suffers an amount of nonlethal damage equal to one-quarter of the damage dealt. Material Component: A single amethyst worth 500 gp for each creature to be included in the link.

Shattered Will
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature of Large size or smaller Duration: Instantaneous (D) Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes If the caster can succeed at a melee attack (not considered a touch attack, since the caster must contact some vital part of the body), the target is permanently rendered unable to resist his enchantment spells. A successful Will save lessens the severity of this effect. In this case, the target simply suffers a 5 morale penalty to saves against the casters enchantment spells. The caster can dispel this spell at will. Otherwise, only death, remove curse or break enchantment can free the targets mind.

Shattering Maelstrom
Transmutation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 20 ft. Target: All items unattended and on creatures within a 20 foot burst centred on you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None for items, Reex partial (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes With a word and a gesture, you invoke a terrifying storm of raging force energies and entropic transmutive power. Everyone caught in the 20 feet radius except you must make a Reex save or be affected. Success at this save represents being moved to the edge of the spells effect. If a target cannot be moved in anyway, it is automatically affected by the spell instead. If affected by the spell, every nonmagical item on each targets person, as well as any unattended item in the burst, is sundered and torn to shreds without a saving throw. Targets who have ten pounds or more of worn or carried equipment sundered by this spell suffer 1d6 physical damage per ten pounds of ruined equipment as the shards of their items tear past and through them to whirl into the maelstrom before being utterly disintegrated.

Shattersight
Transmutation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft/level) Target: One object per round Duration: 1 round/3 levels Saving Throw: Will negates (object) or Fortitude half (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) You enchant your eyes to emanate dangerous beams of invisible force. This beam, which is directed as a ranged touch attack once per round and takes the place of one of your attacks, must be directed at an item or undead creature. If used against an item, you may duplicate the effects of a shatter spell including all appropriate saves. Unlike the shatter spell, this can affect magical items up to 4,000 gold pieces in value. If shattersight is directed at an undead, it suffers 1d6 force damage per caster level, up to 10d6. The undead creature may make a Fortitude save for half damage and spell resistance applies.

Shielding Star
Abjuration [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 2 rounds/level (D) Similar to a shield spell, shielding star creates a glowing star-shaped eld of force to encircle and protect you. The star has to be directed against a single targets attacks, much like the Dodge feat. Against any attack made by that target, the caster gets a +2 deection bonus to AC. The star can circle around you and thus blocks the targets attacks regardless of what direction they come from. This spell has an offensive side as well. Each attack made by the target opponent that does not hit is assumed to be blocked by the star. Each blocked attack adds 1d6 to its pool of stored energy. At any point during the stars duration, you may unleash the stars pool of energy in a force ray attack against the target opponent as a free action. The star can hold up to 1d6 per caster level and, once used to attack, the spell ends immediately. Because of the small size of the stars effect and its focused attention on a single target, it stacks with shield whenever they overlap between you and the target. Focus: Any masterwork buckler, which becomes the star until the end of its duration.

Shield Vessel
Abjuration [Force] Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Vessel touched Target: One vessel Duration: 1 min/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No When this spell is cast, it creates a shimmering eld of magical force surrounding the ship. It begins at the highest point of the mast and cascades downwards to protect the ship. The eld of force hangs in the air about 10 feet off the vessels rail and protects against attacks from all sides and from above. However, it ends at the waters surface, so attacks from below are unaffected by the shield. It is a one-way protection so the vessel can attack without penalty. The shield provides a +4 shield bonus to the ships Armour Class. Arcane Focus: An iron shield that must be hung from the ships gurehead or forecastle.

Shielding Star, Greater


Abjuration [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Duration: 2 minutes/caster level Similar to shielding star, save that the deection bonus provided by the star is +4. If the greater shielding star is directed against a foe that targets the caster with a ranged touch spell or ray attack, it can negate the spell or ray attack automatically. If the greater shielding star does this, its duration immediately ends. Focus: A special masterwork buckler worth 1,200 gold pieces. As with shielding star, this buckler becomes the star and reappears when the spell ends.

Shriek of Abject Hatred


Evocation [Sonic] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 20 ft. radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes With a bloodcurdling shriek of absolute rage, the caster unleashes his hatred as an explosion of pure sonic energy, so powerful that it can liquefy esh. The blast deals 1d6 points of sonic damage per caster level (10d6 maximum) to everyone within its radius of effect (Fortitude save for half). The caster determines the location (distance and height) of the blast by sheer force of will. A small, compressed ball of sonic energy erupts from his throat and streaks to the target and, unless it impacts on a material body or solid barrier before reaching the desired target, detonates at that point. If the caster wishes to direct the ball through a narrow point, he must successfully thread the opening with a ranged touch attack. In addition to dealing damage, the shriek renders all who fail to save stunned for one round and renders them deafened for one hour, meaning they suffer a -4 penalty to Initiative checks, automatically fail Listen checks and have a 20% chance of spell failure when casting spells with a verbal component. Those who succeed at their save are affected as though staggered for one round.

the missile emanates waves of fear and oppression, causing most enemies to break and run immediately. The missile does damage as normal but, in addition, also creates an area effect of 25 feet + 5 feet/2 caster levels. Every creature within this area is affected as if by a fear spell. Material Component: Powdered chicken bone, sprinkled on to missile to be red.

Shifting Element Guard


Abjuration Level: Clr 3, Drd 3, Sor/Wis 3, Rgr 2 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 10 mins/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell alters the properties of the spells endure elements, resist energy and protection from energy. As a free action once per round, the character under the effects of this spell can change what environment or energy type he is protected from. For example, a character on the Plane of Fire has the spells shifting element guard, endure elements (heat) and protection from energy (re) cast on him. Just before stepping through a portal to the frozen wastes of the north, he uses shifting element guard to change the spells to endure elements (cold) and protection from energy (cold). All the active spells must be changed at the same time to the same setting.

Shrieking Missile
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: 50 projectiles, all of which must be in contact with each other at the time of casting. Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You may cast this spell on 50 non-magical missiles, be it sling stone, arrow or bolt, binding it with nearby spirits who are irresistibly drawn in by the ood of negative energy caused. When red, the missile screams the cries of a thousand tortured souls as it ies through the air, unnerving any enemy. When it lands,

Shockwave
Evocation [Force] Level: Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: A 20 ft. radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex partial Spell Resistance: Yes This spell causes a massive wave of force to explode outward from a point designated by the caster. The wave deals 3d6 nonlethal damage to all creatures within its area, as well as initiating a bull rush against such creatures. Roll only a single bull rush check for the spell, opposed by the check of each creature. The

even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As insubstantial creatures, they can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Prime Material Plane, but everything looks grey and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Prime Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.

Shunt Storm
Transmutation Level: Drd 4, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 1 mile/level Target: One storm Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No A popular spell among weather mages, shunt storm pushes a storm or any other cloud mass away from the caster. It moves the storm to the limit of the spells range. Shunt storm can affect magical weather. The spell ends once it begins to move the storm, so another shunt storm can push the storm back again.

shockwave acts as a Large creature with Strength 25 for purposes of the bull rush. In addition, creatures that fail their Reex saves are knocked prone. Flying creatures take only half damage from the wave and are not knocked prone, but suffer a 4 penalty to their bull rush checks. There is a 5 foot hole in the centre of this effects radius, so you may target yourself or an ally with this spell with no adverse effects.

Sigil of Fire
Abjuration [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes or 1 minute (see text) Range: Touch Area: Object touched Duration: 1 year or until discharged Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance Yes This spell is identical to sigil of sleep, except as noted above and described here. When triggered, the sigil of re explodes for up to 1d6 re damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). If the caster wishes to set the rune to do less damage than his level, he may do so. The sigil explodes in an area up to 30 feet in diameter. The caster may provide for a lesser area if he wishes. Material Components: Charcoal must be used to draw or trace the sigil. To make the sigil physically permanent (though not magically permanent) requires 25 gp worth of silver inlay mixed with the dust of a 50 gp sapphire and requires a Craft (stonework) check at DC 8 to carve the intricate patterns of the sigil.

Shunt
Transmutation Level: Asn 2, Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft. /2 caster levels) Target: 1 creature Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes This spell forces a target creature into the Ethereal Plane for 1 round. The creature returns to the Prime Material Plane on the following round. Creatures in the Ethereal Plane can see into the Prime Material Plane, though vision is limited and details are hazy. This spell functions in reverse if cast while in the Ethereal Plane, forcing a creature onto the Prime Material Plane for 1 round. A creature on the Ethereal Plane is invisible, insubstantial and capable of moving in any direction,

caster may place a command word that prevents the triggering of the sigil. When triggered, the sigil of sleep causes 1d6 Hit Dice of creatures per 2 caster levels (maximum 6d6) within the area of the effect to fall asleep per the sleep spell. Creatures are affected lowest Hit Dice to highest until the total Hit Dice affected is satised. A victims total Hit Dice must be affected in order for the sleep effect to work on the victim. If the caster wishes to set the effect to affect fewer Hit Dice, he may do so. The rune affects an area up to 30 feet in diameter. The caster may provide for a lesser area if he wishes. The casting time for the spell depends on whether the sigil is being drawn anew or whether a previously placed, permanent sigil is being empowered (see material components, below). Empowering a previously placed permanent sigil take one minute. A sigil of sleep does not last more than one year even if it is made permanent (see material components, below). Magical sigils such as this one are hard to detect. A rogue can use his Search skill (DC 25 + spell level) and Disable Device skill (DC 25 + spell level) to locate and remove these sigils. Sigils that are located can be identied with read magic and a successful Spellcraft check (DC 12). A sigil of sleep that has been located may be erased or dispelled. If the sigil is disabled, erased or dispelled, the spell ends, even if the normal duration of the spell has not yet expired. If this happens, the caster knows that his spell was cancelled in this manner. Material Components: Charcoal must be used to draw or trace the sigil. To make the sigil physically permanent (though not magically permanent) requires 25 gp worth of silver inlay mixed with the dust of a 50 gp sapphire and requires a Craft (stonework) check at DC 8 to carve the intricate patterns of the sigil. Failure means all components are lost and the carving must be attempted again.

Sigil of Poison
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes or 1 minute (see text) Range: Touch Area: One object Duration: 1 year or until discharged Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance Yes This spell is identical to sigil of sleep, except as noted above and described here. When triggered, the sigil causes all creatures within the area of effect to be stricken as if injected with a deadly poison. The poison causes 1d4 points of Constitution damage per 4 caster levels (maximum to 3d4) immediately, and another similar amount of Constitution damage one minute later. Each instance of damage can be negated by a Fortitude save using the DC of this spell. The sigil affects an area up to 20 feet in diameter. The caster may provide for a lesser area if he wishes. The poison is treated as being instantaneously injected into the victims. The area does not remain poisonous after the rune is triggered. Material Components: Charcoal must be used to draw or trace the sigil. To make the sigil physically permanent (though not magically permanent) requires 25 gp worth of silver inlay mixed with the dust of a 50 gp sapphire and requires a Craft (stonework) check at DC 8 to carve the intricate patterns of the sigil. Failure means all components are lost and the carving must be attempted again.

Note that this reduction of completion time affects the crafting time of magical items but the intense focus that drives this reduced time doubles the experience point cost of the item.

Siphon Elemental Lifeforce


Necromancy Varies Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Ray of negative energy Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You extend your hand toward any source of magical elements and shoot a ray of negative energy specially tailored to affect that element. If the target is a creature, it must make a Fortitude save or gain 1d4 negative levels as the enervation spell. If it is a static source of magical element, such as a wall of re, this spell subtracts 1d4 dice of damage it deals. For each level or die subtracted in this manner, you can increase the DC of the next spell you cast by +1. When you use this spell to siphon energy from magical air, earth, re or water, it is a spell of that type, and the spell you bolster with this energy also becomes a spell of that type. For example, siphon elemental lifeforce is an earth spell when stealing energy from an earth elemental, as is the next spell you cast with an increased DC. If the target of the bolstered spell is particularly vulnerable to your spells new type, the DC is increased by +2 for each stolen level or subtracted damage die instead of +1. Focus: A small, empty tin container.

Singular Focus
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Varies Singular focus gathers every aspect of the casters attention and magical divination abilities into the performance of a single task. This greatly increases his ability to perform that task but does so at the exclusion of anything else until the subject of the focus succeeds. While singular focus is in effect, the caster is effectively helpless and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC. Aside from meeting the bare minimum physical needs, such as eating, sleeping and occasional bathing, the caster can do nothing but work on the task at hand. When cast, the caster chooses one narrow task, such as picking a lock, deciphering an ancient tome or crafting an item. The caster must meet all of the prerequisites for performing the task (possession of the appropriate skills and feats, materials on hand and conditions allowing for work) before casting this spell. Once cast, singular focus does not allow the caster to move more than 10 feet in any direction without negating its effects. While in effect, singular focus guarantees success and cuts the time required in half. Material costs are not

Spell Descriptions

The victims skeleton writhes and twists within his body, tearing muscles and rupturing esh. The victim suffers 2d8 points of damage, +1 point per caster level (maximum +20). If the damage dealt by this spell takes the target below 0 hit points, his skeleton tears from its body and becomes an animated skeleton (See skeleton in the MM.). This skeleton is under the casters control, in all respects as if it had been created by the animate dead spell. Should the skeleton possess too many Hit Dice for the caster to control, it remains independent and immediately attacks the nearest creature. Material Components: A fragment of bone with esh still attached to it and a piece of iron.

during this spell when in your own body but you may control your skin as though you were possessing a living creature. Your possessed skin is identical to you in all ways, except the following: It has only half the number of hit points you had at the time you cast the spell and cannot be healed above this maximum; it has a Strength of 3 and no Constitution score; it carries all the immunities of a construct, immunity to bludgeoning weapons and it can t through openings two sizes smaller than your normal size (a Medium humanoids skin could t through a Tiny gap in a wall, for example). Your skin can take any actions you could normally take in your own body (such as ght or cast spells). When your skin leaves your body, your hit points drop to 0. Your body cannot heal damage naturally while you have no skin, nor do spells that cure hit point damage work on your body; only regeneration (from a regenerate spell, ring of regeneration, the regeneration ability or any other effect that can regrow missing limbs) can regrow your skin and allow you heal above 0 hit points. If your body is regenerated before your skin returns to it, the skin dies and your consciousness returns automatically to your body. Your skin can be preserved with gentle repose and is suitable for any purpose requiring some of your esh (such as a resurrection spell) or any horrible rite that requires a creatures skin. When your skin returns to your body, you regain hit points equal to your skins remaining hit points. If the spell ends before you reunite with your skin or if your skin is killed while you are in your body, you remain helpless and at 0 hit points until your full body is restored to you (requiring a regeneration effect as described above). If your body dies while you are possessing your skin, you die when the spell ends, regardless of how many hit points the skin has left. If your skin is slain while you possess it, the spell ends and you are killed instantly. Skin spy is useful for spying (particularly in places where your body would not survive, such as underwater or in a vacuum), for battling (from a distance) foes that might kill you (especially if regenerate is available to repair your body if your skin is destroyed) or for relaying information (as you and your skin can talk, an ally can carry your skin somewhere while your body remains in town with a sage and you can shift your mind between your body and skin).

Skeletal Spikes
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level The use of this spell causes your bones to warp and writhe, until large, wickedly sharp spikes burst forth from under your skin. These bony spikes make it exceedingly difcult for any enemy to approach without suffering nasty wounds. You are granted 1d3 additional gore attacks per round that count as natural weaponry and cause 1d6 damage. Only undead spellcasters may use this spell without penalty. If used by a living creature, it will automatically be reduced to 0 hit points. Material Component: A horn or spike from a creature of at least 3 HD.

Skin Spy
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Personal Target: You Duration: One hour/level (D) You cause your own skin to peel off your body and animate as a magical creature you control.

Skittering Darkness
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Spherical emanation from the caster to the range of the spell Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes Upon casting this spell, the caster causes shadow and darkness to writhe and crawl like a wave of spiders, striking at those who oppose him and gnawing at their esh and sanity. Those who are within the initial area of effect, except the caster, must immediately attempt a Will save; if they fail, they are subject to attack from any shadow or area of darkness they enter, whether it be of natural or magical origin. At the beginning of each round they remain in darkness, shadows coalesce and attack with a base attack bonus of a ghter equal to the casters level. On a successful strike, the claws deal 1d6 + one half the casters level in damage. This effect follows each victim for the duration of the spell, so that even characters that ee the initial area of effect are subject to attack from creatures of shadow and night. In addition to suffering physical injury, victims of this spell are subject to terrifying psychological assault as well. The shadow shapes which appear to gnaw at their bodies are universally horric in appearance, with lumpy, otherworldly bodies, spade-like claws and mouths full of jagged teeth. They resemble nothing so much as visions from a childs nightmares. For the duration of the spell effect, all those who were within the radius of effect of the spell when it was cast are shaken, suffering a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, skill checks and ability checks. Victims of this spell can avoid damage by ensuring that they remain entirely out of shadow. This can be difcult to do, as even the victims own shadow will writhe forth to attack him.

It may move itself in a very clumsy fashion within this area and will automatically attack any creature but the caster entering the area. The skull can make a bite attack against one creature in the area of effect each turn. It makes a single attack roll (base attack bonus +0). The skull does 1 point of damage with each successful attack. In addition,

once a successful attack has been made, the skull retains its grip on its victim, reducing their speed to one-half of normal until it is destroyed. The skull is considered to have one hit point and an Armour Class of 10. Once the skull has been destroyed, it may not be animated in this way again. Material Component: One skull of a Medium sized creature.

Sleep of Power
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Special (see text) Saving Throw: None (harmless) Spell Resistance: None (harmless) This spell must be cast in the round directly after you have cast another spell with a non-permanent and non-instantaneous duration. At the completion of the spell, you fall into a deep comalike sleep. Your body functions cease and you do not grow older. You are unaware of your surroundings and devoid of your senses. You are considered helpless while under the effects of this spell. The purpose of this sleep is to extend the duration of the spell cast directly before sleep of power. The rst spell lasts as long as you remain in the coma. You set the conditions for when you want to wake up; the rst spell then ends. The conditions you set must be clear, although they can be general. If you describe complicated or convoluted conditions, you may miscast the spell and never wake up again. The rst spell is empowered by the slow leeching of your own life force (represented by an XP loss). For example, you cast a prismatic wall, which normally lasts for 10 minutes per caster level. In the following round, you cast sleep of power with the condition to wake up when the seventh wall of the prismatic wall is destroyed. You fall into a coma for days, years or even centuries. When the seventh prismatic wall is destroyed, you wake up. If you are successfully attacked, you wake up, and the associated spell ends immediately. XP Cost: 1 XP per day you spend in your comalike state. If you fall to 0 XP as a result of this spell, you die, and the associated spell ends. Note that this XP drain is an exception to the rule prohibiting a caster from casting a spell that would reduce his level.

Skyship
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Targets: One ship touched Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes This is one of the most powerful of all sea magicks, standing side by side with raise death hulk in potency and magnitude. Through the use of this spell, you are able to draw upon incredible magical energies to raise a vessel clear above the water to become one of the legendary skyships for a short period of time. This spell may only be cast on a ship of Small size or greater (see hold ship pg. 127 for details on ship size) which gains the ability to y at its seagoing rate with poor manoeuvrability. Focus: Ship of small size or larger.

Slapping Hand
Evocation [Force] Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 immediate action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One glove of force Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Slapping hand creates a hand of Diminutive size (about the size of a normal human hand) that slaps the target you designate. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack to hit your target, at which point the hand delivers a resounding slap to the target that deals 1 point of damage. As a force effect, slap can strike incorporeal creatures without the normal miss chance associated with incorporeality. Focus: Your hand.

Slow magic can be used as a counterspell but only against spells with a duration other than instantaneous. The countered spell begins to operate normally after 1d4 + 1 rounds. A suppressed spell can still be detected using detect magic and the time spent suppressed counts against the spells duration.

Smoke Image
Transmutation Level: Brd 0, Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Visual smoke image that cannot extend beyond one 5-ft cube (S) Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell shapes existing smoke into any shape, creature or object the spellcaster can visualize. The image is composed entirely of smoke and, if disturbed by any force or action, dissipates back into smoke. Material Component: Smoke from a pipe or other source, such as a re.

Slow Skin
Abjuration [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Targets: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) This spell delays the onset of damage. While this spell operates, any damage the caster takes is delayed for a limited number of rounds. The casting level of the spell determines the onset delay.

Solidify Air
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20 ft. burst Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Essentially a transmuters version of web, this spell works by altering the viscosity of the air around you. Any living creature that tries to move through the area affected by solidify air must make a Strength check against a DC of 20 for each 5 feet of desired movement or be unable to do so. Each attempt at this roll costs 5 feet of movement whether the attempt succeeds or not; a creature can keep making checks as long as it has movement remaining. Physical gestures such as melee attacks or spellcasting are not affected by solidify air, but all physical missile attacks are at 4 to hit and inict half damage if any part of their ight path carries them through the air. If you wish, you may centre this spell on yourself, but you will be similarly affected if you choose to move.

The player should record all damage the character takes in a round as normal but he does not actually remove the hit points until the onset delay has elapsed. Even if the spell is suppressed or dispelled, the damage retains its delay in much the same manner as a y spell wears off gradually. This spell only affects hit point damage. This spell normally offers no protection against special effects or ability drain, unless the effect would be negated by damage reduction; if so this spell delays the effect until the duration has elapsed. Damage is calculated at the time of the attack or effect. Nothing the character does after that time can change the amount of damage he will take when the onset-delay elapses. Material Component: A ywing dipped in honey.

Spell Descriptions

Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell actually requires a Perform (singing) check to cast due to the complex vocal sounds it draws upon for its effect. The DC for this check is 10 or 15 if cast in combat. The target of this spell, which may be you or any other being you can touch (possibly requiring a melee touch attack in combat), is instantly transported to any place you have been before, even if this requires planar travel. The song transports the target, its familiar if any and up to 10 pounds of non-living equipment per caster level. There is no chance of error with arriving and if a physical obstruction is in the arrival point, the spell moves the target as far as needed in the shortest possible straight line to an unobstructed space. If the transported target is currently in command of summoned or called creatures, they are all transported with him, appearing within 5 feet of him when they all materialise. This can make the song a very powerful spell in the repertoire of a conjurer.

The maximum possible range extension using all three songs is 13x the usual area of effect. The extended range drops as soon as the song of the tempest ends, even if the bard is maintaining his bardic music. If the performance mode that the bard uses requires an instrument, that instrument must be a masterwork tool to use this effect. Focus: A masterwork instrument

You must sing for 1 round and touch the target while singing for the spell to take effect. The fatigued subject is immediately rejuvenated. This spell counters touch of fatigue.

Soul Poison
Necromancy Level: Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: Instantaneous; see text Saving Throw: Will negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes Calling upon the seething hatred that is the legacy of the drows fall from grace, the caster infects his victim with a psychic poison that erodes their very soul. In order to do this, the caster must touch his victim, as only the intimacy of skin to skin contact can truly allow him to express his exquisite loathing. The victim of the spell suffers 1d10 points of initial Charisma damage, with another 1d10 points of Charisma damage occurring one minute later. Each instance of damage can be negated with a successful Will save (DC 10 + one half caster level + Charisma modier).

Sovereign Self
Abjuration [Prime] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes By imbuing yourself with abjurative energies, you render your body nearly immune to physical harm for the duration of this spell. You gain damage reduction 15/epic, complete invulnerability to normal weapons of any kind, 15 points of energy resistance to all ve basic types and you take half damage from all force effects. You cannot be poisoned, diseased or polymorphed while sovereign self is in effect. You do not need to eat, breathe or sleep. Your statistics cannot be affected for good or ill, returning to their base values regardless of their current status. You do not suffer nonlethal damage, nor are you subject to pain effects of any sort. Your wounds do not bleed and you can ght and act freely beyond 0 hit points. At -10 hit points, you cease to be able to physically function and fall prone. If this spell ends while you are at -10 hit points or less, you die. Sovereign selfs only true weakness is its all-inclusive nature. You cannot benet from any Transmutation spell effect, including teleport, greater teleport or healing magic of any sort. Any other Abjuration magic, including items made with Abjuration (such as bracers of armour) ceases to function for you during sovereign selfs duration. There are two spells that will stack with sovereign self despite the limitations listed above. Transformation and your own personally cast mage armour will function on you while this spell is in effect. If transformation is cast on you while you are affected by sovereign self, both spells become linked in duration. Both spells last as long as the sovereign self, and if one is dispelled, both are negated. Material Component: A vial of blood from the tarrasque or great wyrm dragon of any type.

Target: You or creature touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) As shield, but sovereign shield protects in all directions simultaneously. It also absorbs all force descriptor spells and effects directed at you and dissipates them harmlessly, though it does not disrupt force effects already in place. Magic missiles directed at you extend the duration by one minute per magic missile spell, to a maximum of double its original duration. Sovereign shield also cushions impact damage, reducing by half any damage taken from falling, crushing traps or other massive blunt trauma. The Games Master is the nal arbiter on what qualies for this reduction, but in general it does not include bludgeoning melee or ranged attacks from other creatures, regardless of their size or severity. Material Component: A single scale from a tarrasque or great wyrm dragon of any type.

Sovereign Strike
Abjuration [Prime] Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One weapon or ranged attack spell Duration: 1 round or next attack Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes In many ways a form of anti-abjuration, sovereign strike wreathes a single melee weapon, ranged weapon or spell emanation requiring an attack roll with powerful energies, causing it to are intensely with unchecked magical forces. This aura allows the weapon or emanation to strike true, regardless of protective spells and/or effects that might prevent its success. This single blow hits automatically, is the only attack that can be made that round by the wielder of the target weapon and is automatically a critical if one is possible or effective against the creature struck. Once the attack hits, its damage and effects are resolved normally and applied to the target, which receives no saving throw against any part of the attack that would normally allow one or any benet from Abjuration spells and effects upon its person. For the purposes of sovereign strike and the affected attack, the opponent essentially has an unmissible

The spears use the casters base attack bonus to make ranged touch attacks and receive a competence bonus on each attack roll equal to the casters Intelligence modier. Targets immediately suffer 2d10 hit points of damage for each spear that strikes them. On subsequent rounds, any creature that spends any time in this spells area of effect is attacked by 1d3 spears and suffers damage, as noted above, if hit.

Even absolute immunity due to subtype or race is no protection, allowing sovereign strike to inict re damage from a aming burst longsword on a red dragon. The opponent struck by an attack enhanced through this spell does not actually lose any of its Armour Class or defences; they are just suspended for the attack in question. All other attacks, even those that occur simultaneously with the sovereign strike, interact normally with the creature. Material Component: A tooth or claw from the tarrasque or great wyrm dragon of any type.

Creatures that fail their Reex save immediately suffer 1d8 hit points of damage per level of the caster (maximum 20d8) and are considered pinned. If attempting to escape or break a pin, assume that the tentacles have grapple check results equal to the caster level +12. The tentacles continue their pins each round, causing 1d3 points of Constitution damage each round as they strangle the life from their targets. The tentacles will attempt to grapple any free opponents in the area each round with the same bonus to grapple attempts, however initial grapple attacks only deal 1d8 points of damage and pin the opponent; in following rounds, however, 1d3 points of Constitution damage will be dealt if the opponent has not broken free.

Undead, constructs and other creatures that have no respiratory system or heads are still constricted by the tentacles and are considered pin until they break free. These creatures suffer only 1d4 hit points of damage per level of the caster when they are initially pinned and an additional 1d4 hit points of constriction damage each round thereafter. When a creature escapes a tentacles pin or the duration of the spell ends, releasing the creature, it is considered stunned for one round while it attempts to catch its breath or regain its balance.

Speed Poison
Necromancy Level: Asn 2, Clr3, Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20 ft. burst Duration: 1 round per level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes By means of this spell, the caster causes poisons to become more virulent and more immediately lethal. For the duration of the spell effect, all beings within the radius of effect when the spell is cast are weakened against the effects of poison. Whenever they come under the effects of a poison attack of any sort, they suffer both the initial and secondary damage effect from the poison immediately. The victim must attempt rst his save against the initial effect, and then immediately roll to save against the secondary effect. Should the initial effect of the poison reduce the victims applicable save, the reduction is applied before the save against the secondary effect is rolled. A successful Fortitude save negates the effects of the spell, but of course has no effect on the victims saves against poison attacks, should he later suffer one. Material Component: A small vial of spider venom.

Saving Throw: Special, see text Spell Resistance: Special, see text You usurp control of a spell with an ongoing effect such as a fog cloud, stinking cloud or darkness spell and can move it at a rate of 20 feet per round as a move action. After casting this spell at the effect in question, you must make a Knowledge (arcana) check with a DC value determined by the level of the caster that created the spell (DC 10 + caster level of effect). If you cast the spell yourself, you automatically succeed. A successful check allows you to direct the movement of the spell effect as a move action. Spell effects that cannot be cast into certain areas or locations cannot be moved into those locations with spell legs. If the spell is under control of a spell caster already, such as a aming sphere, you must rst make the above check and then make a Concentration check opposed by the Concentration check of the caster presently in control of the spell. If both checks succeed, you wrest control of the spell away from the original caster and can turn the spell against them. When the spell effect is moved over a target creature, that creature must make any saving throws the spell effect permits to avoid its effects. The saving throw, and spell effects, are those of the originally cast spell. If the creature has spell resistance, a caster level check is made using the original casters level.

The recipient of this spell becomes completely and totally immune to one school of magic and its effects. This protection extends to up to 250 pounds worth of creatures and any equipment (within reason, Games Masters discretion) in physical contact with the recipient. This immunity cannot be breached in any way by less than divine level effects and spellbane cannot be targeted by any form of dispelling magic. In effect, the body of the recipient is treated as an anti-magical area with respect to the chosen school. Material Component: An iron needle, a 10 gp gemstone of any sort, and a lead coin.

each round. A saving throw is required of anyone who spends any amount of time in the range of the spell, so that even a character who entered the area and backed out again on the same action would still need to make a save. The damage progression always starts at 1d6 points of damage. Therefore, even if the spell has been going for 5 rounds, a new target entering into range suffers 1d6 points of damage on his rst round, 2d6 the next round, and so on. Exiting and reentering the spells range, however, restarts the damage the victim was suffering as if he had not left it does not start over. So, say a character stays in range for 4 rounds, then leaves for 2 rounds. On his rst round back in range, he suffers 5d6 points of damage. The spells effect moves as you do, since it affects everyone in range of you. Material Components: A brass statuette of a living creature, worth 100 gp, and a handful of brass dust, worth 50 gp.

He gains a +2 competence bonus to Intimidate checks, provided he uses the skill in the round immediately following the casting of the spell.

Saving Throw: Fortitude half; see text Spell Resistance: Yes Distending the casters jaw to an unnatural degree, he vomits forth a stream of Tiny spiders that engulfs anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in its path, dealing 1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d4). Those who succeed at a Fortitude save suffer only half damage. Those who fail their initial save are nauseated for one round and must immediately succeed at a Fortitude save (at the same DC) or suffer 1d4 points of Constitution damage, as hundreds of spider bites take their toll. The spiders disappear as quickly as they appeared, fading away into sparkling motes of greasy light within moments of striking their victims. Material Component: A handful of live spiders, which must be devoured immediately after speaking the incantation.

Victims Level/Hit Die 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-9 10-12 13-16 17-20+

Monstrous Spider Size Tiny Small Medium Large Huge Gargantuan Colossal

The birthing of the spider instantly reduces the victim to -10 hit points. Monstrous spiders created by this spell can be no larger than the size category of the victim when he died, regardless of the victims level or Hit Die. However, should a victims level or Hit Die indicate that a spider larger than his body can support be created, the magic of the spell instead creates multiple spiders of the largest attainable size, with each step of difference between the size categories of the victim and the spider to be created doubling the number of spiders. So, for example, a 20th level characters body would normally birth a spider of Colossal size. If the victim were Medium sized, however, the spell would instead create 16 Medium monstrous spiders. This spell can only be cast upon living creatures, and only if they are above 0 hit points. The eggs implanted by the spider mother are destroyed by the application of any cure spell, remove disease or other, similar spells and spell-like effects. Material Components: A spiders egg sac, which must be torn open and hurled towards the intended victims as the spell is cast.

When an affected victim is reduced to 0 hit points or less, his body ruptures at the beginning of the casters next action and a monstrous spider crawls forth, attacking his enemies as directed. This spell deals no actual damage to those caught in its burst but lay the groundwork for a terrible birth should they be reduced to 0 hit points or less. The size of the monstrous spider birthed varies, dependant on the power of the victim, as outlined below:

For the duration of the spell, the recipient takes on the hideous appearance of a spider, with multiple eyes, chitinous skin that bristles with coarse hair and clawed ngers and toes. This appearance is so revolting that the recipient suffers a -6 penalty to all Non-Player Character reaction checks that do not involve drow or other spider worshipping, or spider-like beings.

Each target must make a Will save or suffer from a negative level for the duration of the spell. This negative level is a fear effect and therefore does not affect beings that are immune to fear. Each negative level that a target suffers inicts the following penalties: -1 competence penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks and effective level for determining the power, duration, DC and other details of spells or special abilities).

All within the area of effect when the spell is cast suffer 1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d4), with a Reex save allowed for half damage. From that point until the end of the spells duration, the area of effect is choked with stalactites and stalagmites, which reduce movement to almost nothing. Creatures can force their way through the hedge of rock in two fashions, either through brute force or by attempting to thread the needles with dextrous movement. Each 5-foot section of stalactite and stalagmite created by this spell is considered to have a hardness of 8 and 10 hit points. A section whose hit points have been reduced to 0 is considered destroyed and no longer impedes movement. Alternately, with a successful Strength check against DC 20, the creature can simply smash through a 5-foot section of rock; for every 5 points by which a creature succeeds at its skill check, an additional 5-foot section of wall is destroyed. Like any other stone wall, stone spears can be disintegrated or warped by stone shape or soften earth and stone. Each 5-foot section can also be bypassed with a successful Escape Artist or Dexterity check against DC 20. For every 5 points by which the check succeeds, another 5-foot section may be traversed. Beings separated by a 5-foot section of stone spears are considered to have cover, while those separated by 15 feet or more are considered to have both cover and concealment.

In addition to the danger of dying, every round that the target succeeds its Fortitude save, it suffers 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. If it falls unconscious from the nonlethal damage, the spell works as if it had failed a Fortitude save and its hit points drop to 0.

In the round following the eruption, the spiders form a swarm, exactly as with the spell summon swarm. The swarm has a number of Hit Dice equal to the victims own and its size and the damage it deals are dependent upon its Hit Dice, as outlined in the swarm subtype description (MM). The swarm remains in existence for a number of rounds equal to one half your caster level, and can be directed as a free action. At the end of the spells duration, the swarm disappears. Material Components: A bag containing both a score or more of dead spiders and a small vial lled with liquid taken from lanced boils.

For example, if a chronomancer with initiative 14 casts switch fate and successfully touched an orc with initiative 22, they would switch initiative scores. In the following round, the chronomancer would go on initiative 22 and the orc would go on initiative 14. In essence, the chronomancer has stolen time from the orc.

Switch Outfits
Transmutation [Teleportation] Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, F (see text) Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One or two creatures wearing clothing (see text) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (see text) Spell Resistance Yes The caster can choose to switch his own clothing with another set of clothing that he can see and that is within range, whether it is hanging in a closet, strewn on the oor or worn by another. He may also use it to exchange the clothing worn by two other individuals within range. If a target is unaware of the spell or is resisting, he receives a Will saving throw. If he succeeds, the spell fails. If the caster is attempting to exchange the clothing of two other individuals, the spell fails if either individual succeeds at his Will save. All worn items are exchanged, including cloaks, rings, backpacks, sheathed weapons and so on. Drawn weapons are not exchanged, nor are magic items. Non-magical armour can also be exchanged or quickly donned using this spell. The GM should adjudicate the consequences for switching items that are the wrong size: armour that is too small will fall off and be useless; clothing that is too large will hinder movement and provide a Dexterity penalty; rings that are the wrong size may break, fall off or cause discomfort, and so on. Physical damage is never taken due to exchanged items being the wrong size. Focus: The exchanged clothing.

Swarming Missiles
Evocation [Force] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft + 10 ft. per level) Targets: Up to 10 creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A swarm of magical missiles explodes from your hand, twisting and spiralling as it seeks out its target. You launch 1 missile per two caster levels (maximum 10 missiles), and each missile deals 1d4+1 points of damage. The missiles strike unerringly and dart around living beings and inanimate objects to strike their intended target. Creatures with total cover or total concealment cannot be targeted with this spell. Should you wish, you can re the magical missile at separate targets, or all at the same target, splitting them in any fashion you choose. You must designate targets before rolling damage, or checking for spell resistance.

Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes When the target of this spell attempts to attack a target, there is an equal chance he directs his strike at any eligible target. For example, an orc archer under the effect of sword curse decides to re an arrow at a human wizard. There are eight other targets in the area: ve orc warriors and three adventurers. The orc directs his shot at a randomly chosen target among the orcs and adventurers. The victim of this spell is under no compulsion to attack. He can simply choose other actions for its duration. Attackers with multiple attacks choose a random target for each one. Spellcasters suffer a similar effect. They have an equal chance of centring an area of effect spell on a different target. If such a spell is targeted against a point in space, include that as one of the casters possible targets when resolving this spell. If a spell has more than one target, such as magic missile, randomly determine a target for each portion of the spell. The victim of this spell does not realize its effects until he makes an attack or casts a spell. Focus: A miniature sword the caster uses to cut his thumb.

Unlike the symbol of death spell, there is no hit point limit; once triggered, a symbol of hate simply remains active for 10 minutes per level of the caster. Magic traps such as a symbol of hate are hard to detect and disable. A rogue, and only a rogue, can use the Search skill to nd a symbol of hate and can use Disable Device to thwart it.

Individuals affected by the symbol of lust can still defend themselves if directly attacked, but suffer a 4 penalty to all attack rolls, damage rolls, ability checks, skill checks and saving throws, as they are far too distracted to ght effectively. Individuals affected by the symbol who are not directly attacked must make a Will saving throw (at the same DC as the symbol) to engage in combat. Otherwise, they will seek to full the urges the symbol has given them. Unlike the symbol of death spell, there is no hit point limit; once triggered, a symbol of lust simply remains active for 10 minutes per level of the caster. Magic traps such as a symbol of lust are hard to detect and disable. A rogue, and only a rogue, can use the Search skill to nd a symbol of lust and can use Disable Device to thwart it.

Telepathic Assault
Divination [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One living creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes One of the only offensive spells of the Divination school, telepathic assault functions much like mindshriek, in that it divines thousands of different things in a single moment and forces this cacophony of information into the mind of the target creature. Telepathic assault deals 5d6 points of nonlethal damage and 5d6 points of mental damage as it overwhelms the mind and psyche (treat as lethal damage of no particular subtype). A Will save negates the lethal damage but not the nonlethal. Targets immune to mind-affecting spells or under the effects of mind blank are unaffected by this spell. A ring of mind shielding or similar magic negates the lethal damage automatically and allows a Will save to negate the nonlethal damage.

Taboo
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting] Level: Clr 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft/2 levels) Target: One living creature Duration: 1 day/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes A taboo enforces a simple prohibition on a creature, forcing it to not take a specic action. The instruction must be one sentence of 10 words or less, and it may only forbid an action. It must be physically possible for the target to obey this command Dont live will not work, but Dont stand on this cliff might force a creature into a life-threatening situation as it tries to climb down. If the creature attempts to disobey a taboo, it suffers extreme pain. It must make a Fortitude save (DC 20 + caster level) or be stunned for 1d6 rounds. A stunned creature cannot take actions, drops anything it is holding and loses any positive Dexterity modier to AC. Attackers gain a +2 bonus to their attack rolls against a stunned creature. If the creatures Fortitude bonus is high enough that a roll of 20 will succeed at the save to avoid being stunned, the creature may take 20 to slowly accomplish the forbidden action.

It sustains 1d6 points of structural damage per level of the caster (maximum 20d6). A captain can make a Profession (sailor) check in place of a saving throw to reduce this damage by one-half. Tempest can be dispelled at any point before the waterspout erupts. Material Component: A pearl worth 100 gp, and a staff.

Evocation Level: Drd 7, Clr 7, Sor/Wis 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels) Target: One ship Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Once the tempest spell is cast, the targeted vessel begins to shiver and the sea around it begins to boil. A sudden, incredibly localised storm materialises above it and lightning begins to ash. Tiny waterspouts leap from sea to sky. 1d4+1 rounds after the spell is cast, a massive waterspout explodes beneath the ship and carries it off. The ship crashes on a shore within 5d100 miles of a point selected by the caster.

Temporal Abstraction
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 5 rounds Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous This spell concentrates time; releasing it in a single burst in the round the chronomancer nishes casting the spell. Following the completion of this spell, the chronomancer receives his normal action for that round (plus any additional actions the character may be receiving from haste spells and so on).

The target is permitted a Reex save to avoid being caught, and the caster must make a Use Rope check (DC 10) to successfully tie the knot. This spell may also be used to provide a handy rope for swinging on.

Tendrils of Destruction
Conjuration (Summoning) [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Four 15 ft. long tendrils extending from 10-ft. diameter portal to the Negative Energy Plane Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance Yes Tendrils of destruction creates a portal in the ground or oor with a 10-foot diameter. Anyone standing in this area must make a Reex save or fall in and immediately suffer the effects outlined below. Four shadow tentacles spring out from the portal and attempt to grapple the casters enemies and drag them through the portal. Each tentacle is 15 feet long (Huge) and saves as the caster. It has AC 22, 2 hit points/caster level, an attack bonus of +1 per caster level and a Strength score of 23 (+6 bonus). Each round that a tentacle is not grappling someone, it will do so and attempt to drag the victim through the portal. Once someone has been dragged into the portal, a tentacle will hold the victim there until he is dead or the spell has ended. These are normal grapple attacks, save that they do no allow attacks of opportunity from opponents. They cause 1d6+6 points of damage per round that the grapple is maintained. Once grappled, a target will be drawn toward the portal at the rate of 10 feet per round. The target may attempt to break the grapple in the normal fashion. Anyone dragged into the portal must make a Fortitude save each round or gain two negative levels. The portal closes when the spells duration expires or when all four tentacles are destroyed. When the portal closes, anyone trapped in the pit is considered slain unless he can cast plane shift or similar planar travel spells. If this is not done, such victims may only be brought back through the use of a wish or similar spell. Material Components: A black pearl worth at least 500 gp.

Thief Soul
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level This spell requires the skull of a deceased rogue from which the dead creatures skills are pried. When the spell is cast, the skull is destroyed and the caster gains the skills the character possessed in life, though not the ability scores. To determine the level of the skull found by the caster (assuming a trip to the local graveyard), roll 1d6+5. Use the skills for a Non-Player Character rogue of the appropriate level as found in DMG to determine what skills the caster gains by casting this spell. Material component: The skull of a deceased rogue.

Thievesbane
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: One 10-ft. cube/level (S) Duration: 2 hours/level (D), see text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No

Spell Descriptions

Thievesbane creates a warded area in which footfalls, echo and the slightest motion create a visible shimmer and audible creaking. Within the warded area, all Listen and Spot checks get a +2 circumstance bonus and any creature passing through the area leaves behind a faint trail that grants a +2 bonus on Search or Survival checks to locate or follow its tracks. This effect persists for 2 hours after the creature leaves the warded area or until the spell expires, whichever comes rst. The skill bonuses this spell provides increases by +1 for every three caster levels above 5th, to a maximum of +5 at level 14. Material Component: A handful of nutshells or dry leaves.

effect does not normally allow one. Success negates the attempted contact or attack. This consumes the thoughtbane if the effect negated was actually psionic or did not normally allow a Will save. Material Component: A 10 gold piece value amethyst and an infusion of willow bark.

Thousand Feet
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 20 ft. Effect: 20 ft. radius spread Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will disbelief Spell Resistance: No Thousand feet is all but useless to a spellcaster of the surface world but in the Underdeep, it can mean the difference between life and death. When cast, thousand feet creates a drumming impact on the ground in a 20-foot radius around the caster. This has no effect on most people, who will only hear what sounds like dozens of running and jumping footsteps. To a creature that navigates and hunts by tremorsense, however, it renders the caster effectively invisible, as the creature cannot distinguish between the casters footsteps and those created by the spell. The caster and anyone else within the area of effect of thousand feet are treated as having total concealment from any creature that relies on tremorsense.

Thin Blood
Necromancy Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: One hour Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes With a successful melee touch attack, the target of this spell suffers a wave of weakness as the energy of their body becomes diluted and undirected. The creature suffers 1 point of ability damage to each physical ability and drops to the bottom of the initiative order in the following round. The spell also impairs the targets ability to resist damage, providing all successful attacks with a +1 circumstance bonus to damage.

Thralls Understanding
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Varies (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Thralls understanding must be cast on the casters next action after he successfully affects a target with an Enchantment (Charm) spell. The target creature is then considered to have a common language with the caster, even if it does not normally have a language or communicates in a way the caster could not (such as telepathy). The caster does not gain the ability to actually communicate in this language with any being except the charmed target. However, the target instantly understands any command or information

Thoughtbane
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes The protected creature is protected from mind reading, detect thoughts spells and any form of psionic or mental attack. This defence is not absolute, but it does allow the recipient to make a Will saving throw against any attempted intrusion, even if the mental

the caster wishes to impart. This spell even allows the target to grasp concepts normally beyond its intelligence. A nal advantage of this spell is that, because of the additional bond with the target, the duration of the original charm effect is determined as if cast one level higher. Focus: An ornate gold disc with the word for understanding etched into it in every language the caster knows. This disc costs 200 gp plus 20 gold for every engraved language.

The thunders song octuples (8x) the area of effect of your next bardic music effect. This octupling stacks normally with any other extending effect; so another doubling increases the area of effect by 9x and so on. It is not possible to stack multiple thunders song spells, although this spell does stack with wind borne songs and song of the tempest. The maximum possible range extension using all three songs is 13x the usual area of effect. The extended range drops as soon as thunders song ends, even if the bard is maintaining his bardic music. Focus: If the performance mode that the bard uses requires an instrument, that instrument must be a masterwork tool to use this effect.

Threshold of Unlife
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 30 minutes Range: 100 ft. Area: 20 5 ft. squares (must be adjacent) Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes By outlining an area to be affected with chalk and ashes from a burnt corpse, you can greatly increase the ambient negative energy present in your surroundings. The effectiveness of all healing spells within this area is halved, whilst one-half increases all damage dealt, from any source. Normal healing by rest is not possible within the area, nor will spellcasters be able to rest for the preparation of their spells. Ordinary light still enters the area affected but becomes dim and indistinct. Those inside the area gain a concealment miss chance of 10% when attacked by ranged weapons from outside. Undead creatures that normally suffer in daylight, such as spectres and vampires, will face no ill effects whilst inside the area. All undead creatures will automatically regenerate one hit point per round whilst inside the spells area of effect. Material Component: White chalk mixed with ash from a cremation.

Time to Act
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 4, Brd 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous Time to act gives you the time to perform a single complex skill check. The skill check must be an actual action, you must have at least one rank in the skill and all necessary equipment must be on your person and ready to use. Skill checks that require extensive time or bulk materials, like Craft skills, cannot be used with this spell. The skill check cannot be a reaction to outside actions or the actions of others. During the action, you cannot move from your current position but you can perform any other physical aspects of the skill use. You cannot make use of any spell, supernatural or even extraordinary ability-related skill check. You could, for example, use this spell to disable a trap you are kneeling next to or pick a lock. You could not use it to Read Lips, Balance, Jump or Tumble. You cannot even Hide unless already in a suitable place to do so. While you perform the skill use, the world appears to stop about you. It could even be a Search check as long as the search does not require you to move. To others, you seem to blur and then the action is complete.

Spell Descriptions

Time to Pause
Transmutation [Temporal] Level: Sor / Wiz 6, Brd 5 This spell is the same as time to act except it gives the caster sufcient time to take 10 on his check. He can still only make one skill check and the caster must still abide by all the restrictions of the lesser spell.

Focus: An hourglass or pocket watch worth 1,000 gp.

Torpor
Evocation [Cold] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes An icy blue ray res from your open palm. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack to strike your target. The struck target suffers a -1d3 penalty to Dexterity, with an additional -1 per 2 caster levels (maximum additional penalty of -5). The subjects Dexterity cannot drop below 1.

Timesight
Divination [Temporal] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Person, object or place touched Duration: 1 round/hour viewed (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes By casting timesight, the caster attempts to read the past or future of an object, person or place touched, to a maximum of one day per caster level. Immediately upon casting the spell, the caster must make a Concentration check (DC 20) or lose the spell due to the chaotic, incomprehensible images that ood his mind. If this occurs, nothing useful is gained and the spell has no further effect. Unwilling sentient creatures, objects or places may make a Will save to negate this spells effects. If the Concentration check succeeds, the caster states an amount of time and can look either backwards or forwards (not both) along the ow of time for the subject. Seeing the past is easier and the images gained are clear and occur as if the caster were present for the events that transpired. However, nothing in the past can interact with him and vice-versa. This spell does not grant visual abilities the caster does not normally possess and spells that grant augmented vision, such as darkvision, are rendered inoperable for the duration of the timesight. Attempting to see the future is far more complicated and requires a Concentration check each hour (DC 20 +5 for each hour past the rst). Failing a Concentration check ends the spell immediately but the caster retains memory of anything seen up to that point. Images of the future are not as clear as those of the past and the reason for this disparity is a topic of much debate among those who know this spell and its effects. Ultimately, the Games Master is the nal arbiter of what can be seen with this version of the spell.

Torment of Loss
Enchantment [Hanging] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Your charmed creature Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: None (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes This spell can be cast on any creature (with fewer Hit Dice than the caster) currently affected by one of the casters Enchantment (Charm) spells. There is no save against this spell initially. Torment of loss has no further effect until the charm spell ends on the target creature. If torment of loss is still in effect, it then activates. The target creature becomes lled with terrible regret and depression over the loss of its bond with the caster. These dark feelings can overwhelm the subject; if it fails a Will save, it dies immediately from the emotional shock. A successful save leaves the target shaken (2 morale penalty to attack rolls, weapon damage and saving throws) for one hour. It then fully overcomes the effect. Material Component: One of the casters tears (a pearl of at least 100 gp value can be substituted by casters without the ability to cry) and a vial of any sort of poison.

While working on this item (which can be as simple as a poem or as complex as a suit of full plate), the recipient must work at least eight hours a day and do nothing more than rest and converse for the remainder of each day. Any signicant interruption ends the spell immediately and has a 50% chance of ruining the item. The subject must begin work on the item the same day this spell is cast or it ends with no further effect. Material Component: A masterwork set of tools for the chosen Craft.

Touch of the Divine


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level This spell is a dangerous divination at best but its effect is often well worth the risk. It grants the caster a sudden, intuitive knowledge of the essence and true name of a chosen god. This can be any deity the caster knows of and does not need to be of a compatible alignment. The deity is instantly aware of this intrusion and may choose to take offence (usually in the form of a planar being of appropriate type appearing after the spell ends). This offence is best left to the individual Games Master to adjudicate specically but sufce to say touch of the divine should never be cast lightly. Once cast, the knowledge gained by this spell grants the caster the ability to trade out spells for any spell from any of the deitys domains of the same level, similar to the clerics Spontaneous Casting ability. Each time this is done, the caster must make a Concentration check (DC 30) or touch of the divine ends immediately after the traded spell is cast. The knowledge of the deitys true name is a subtle and intuitive one. It cannot be imparted through any form of communication and cannot be put to any other use. Once the spell ends, the knowledge disappears completely. Focus: A holy symbol of the chosen deity that has been used to cast at least one 3rd level divine spell.

Touch of the Artisan


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Varies Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell opens the recipients mind to an incredible amount of information about the crafting arts. The caster must choose a focus for this spell when he casts it, choosing from any Craft skill available in the campaign world. Once cast, the recipient gains a +25 competence bonus for the purposes of the chosen Craft. This bonus lasts as long as it takes for the recipient to create a single item and its masterwork element, if applicable.

Touch of the Healer


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 day Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Mending torn esh and setting broken bones magically is the unquestioned province of clerics, bards and druids, but the mundane skills required to do so can be learned by anyone. Touch of the healer grants the recipient temporary mastery of the healing arts. Once cast, touch of the healer allows the subject to automatically stabilise dying creatures as if he had made a successful Heal check. By taking a fullround action while in contact with an injured target, the recipient can restore 1d4+1 hit points through incredibly expert medical attention. This healing can only benet a target once per day but it can affect as many different targets as the caster desires during the spells duration. If the subject of the spell possesses one or more ranks in Heal, he gains the ability to automatically accomplish anything that skill can achieve as a full-round action (unless the chosen type of treatment takes longer, in which case the time required increases to one hour). Any required skill check is automatically successful. Focus: A masterwork healers kit.

Focus: A gold coin blessed by a priest of any god concerned with merchants, business, wealth or nance.

Touch of the Mystic


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell brings the recipient in tune with magical energies and the ow of power that exists in the world around him. While this spell is in effect, the recipient can freely use detect magic and identify, though only one of these powers can be in effect in any given round. A subject under the effects of this spell will also know immediately when a new source of magic (an active spell or magic item, for example) comes within 30 feet. This makes the recipient difcult to surprise by anyone carrying or casting magic nearby and may spoil sneak attacks at the Games Masters discretion. If the recipient can make physical contact with a target, he learns of any spell-like or supernatural abilities it possesses at a rate of one per round, in the same manner as an identify spell. Magical traps can be discerned and contact while under this spells effects does not set off such traps. Once identied this way, the recipient gains a +5 insight bonus to Disable Device checks regarding that trap. Focus: A wand, staff or other charged device with detect magic as one of its abilities. The device loses a single charge when touch of the mystic is cast.

Touch of the Merchant


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) A simple but incredible useful divination, touch of the merchant allows the recipient to know the approximate value of any item he handles. This value is an approximation (+/-10% of the true value) and does not take speciality markets into account unless the recipient is aware of them.

Touch of the Sage


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level When cast, the caster chooses either a specic Knowledge skill or Spellcraft and gains the ability to use that skill with uncanny accuracy for the duration of the spell.

The recipient gains a +5 competence bonus in Disable Device, Hide, Move Silently, Open Lock, Search and Sleight of Hand for the duration of the spell. In addition, while this spell is in effect, the recipient is considered a rogue for purposes of trap detection and disarming. Focus: A set of masterwork thieves tools.

Touch of the Soldier


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level The mark of a true ghter is his expert and specialised skill with his weapon of choice. That same level of singular dedication is the focus of this spell. The caster gains an amazing amount of skill and expertise in the use of a single weapon designated at the time of the casting. While wielding that weapon, the recipient is nearly as good as a specialised ghter of the same level. the recipient could now take 10 on and succeed at can be done as a free action once per round. This spell allows the recipient to retry a failed skill check with the chosen skill once. If this second try does not succeed, the spell immediately ends. Focus: A one-inch square of ne parchment with a drop of blood from any creature with 10 or more ranks in the chosen skill. The character gains the Martial Weapon Prociency, Weapon Finesse (if applicable) and Weapon Focus feats with the chosen weapon. In addition, the recipient gains the base attack bonus of a ghter of his character level. This increase is not compatible with other spells that affect base attack bonus or give a bonus to attack rolls (transformation, for example) and the spell ends if the target is affected by one of these spells. This spell also grants the recipient the ability to wield the chosen weapon with truly unnatural skill for a brief amount of time. The subject of the spell may choose, at the beginning of his action, to consume the remaining duration of the spell in order to gain the effects of a true strike spell on every attack he makes that round. Focus: Masterwork weapon of the selected type.

Touch of the Torturer


Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level Much like touch of the healer, this spell imparts an in-depth knowledge of the medical arts. Unlike that spell, however, the target learns only what happens when this knowledge is used to harm instead of heal. Pressure points, painful joint locks and bleeding wounds become terrifyingly easy for the recipient to invoke, as his mind is focused on the task of pain and anguish. Any weapon wielded by the target gains the wounding special ability while this spell is in effect. In addition, the target gains the Sneak Attack and Crippling Strike class features, as if he were a 10th level rogue. If the diviner uses this knowledge as part of interrogation, the target must make Willpower saves against the spells DC each minute to resist such expert ministrations. The caster never runs the risk of inadvertently knocking out or killing targets during this questioning. Using the spell for this purpose is an evil act. Focus: A used piece of torturing equipment.

the target creature gaining the desired spells with the balance of their duration and effects. If a transferred Abjuration spell has an ablative nature, like protection from energy or stoneskin, this spell does not refresh its values for the new target. Once transferred, the Abjuration spells in question cannot be transferred again, nor can they be dismissed by the recipient or the caster any longer.

Toxic Caress
Transmutation (Focused) Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Touch Target: Large or smaller creature touched Duration: 1 round/4 levels, also see text Saving Throw: None, Fortitude for poison (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes Like all caress spells, this spell grants you a touch attack that may be used anytime you could make an unarmed attack. This spells effect can be applied in addition to any damage your unarmed attack would otherwise deal. Weapons that allow you to deal unarmed damage do not channel the effects of a caress spell; only the touch of your enchanted hand can do so. A target creature successfully affected by toxic caress is considered poisoned by whatever toxin is used during the casting of this spell (see material component below). The initial touch does not offer a save, but the poison does. The magic of this spell causes the poison to have its secondary effect in one round, regardless of the poisons usual onset time. The DC for these two saving throws is this spells normal saving throw (factoring in all applicable feats and abilities) or the DC of the poison, whichever is higher. Unlike most poisoned attacks, the damage from the unarmed attack that delivers this venom does not need to penetrate damage reduction to be effective. Material Component: A single dose of any poison. The toxic caress will deal this poison as its effect.

Touch of Transference
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Special, see text Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell allows you to grant any or all of the Abjuration spells currently operating on your person to another creature by touch. This must be a melee touch attack if done in combat, but is otherwise considered automatic if circumstances allow. The touch cannot transfer any spell of higher than 6th level, does not circumvent the rules for stacking spells and cannot transfer a spell to an invalid target. (Note that for the purposes of this spell, an Abjuration spell with a Target of You does not invalidate transferral.) The exchange happens instantaneously upon touch, with

Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The caster creates a powerful protective ward throughout an area. If anyone enters the ward other than the caster or those named by the caster at the time of casting, this spell teleports the intruders to a specic location designated at the time of casting, with none of their equipment. The equipment remains in the ward, although intelligent magic items are immune and do travel with the wielder, if they so choose. Material Component: Gold dust worth at least 1,000 gp

chosen at the time of its casting. These nine levels can be divided up in any way among the eight bane spells and all nine need not be used. All DCs or level dependent variables of the duplicate spells use the level of true bane instead. This spell is a special exception to the number of spells that can be cast in a single round, as the multiple banes generated only count as a single spell. For example, a wizard could cast true bane and generate the effects of bloodbane and two different weaponbanes (against slashing and piercing weapons respectively). All of these effects occur as soon as the true banes casting time ends. The duration for each effect equals the duration of the duplicated spell. The spells that true bane can duplicate are: bloodbane, creaturebane, deathbane, sensebane, spellbane, thievesbane, thoughtbane, weaponbane and wizardbane. Focus: A spellbook valued at 2,000 gp in materials value, containing a complete set of the nine bane spells. Each one must be penned in ink made from your blood. Thus, these foci cannot be used by anyone but you.

Trigger Trap
Abjuration Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft.+ 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 30 ft. radius spread Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell sets off any traps within its radius while allowing the spellcasters to stand safely at a distance. The trap must have a material trigger of some kind, either sound, movement or pressure for the spell to work. This spell does not disable the trap but merely causes it to activate. Continuous traps, such as zones of effect or magically altered fountains, are not affected by this spell. A trap with multiple charges only loses one charge. If the trap has a non-visual effect or requires a target, the spellcaster will not know if the spell worked. Material Component: A twig of wood wrapped in coarse twine.

True Bane

When this spell is cast, the bond between a caster and her familiar is greatly intensied. This increased bond allows the caster and the familiar to share each others feats, skills and some special qualities as if they were truly the same being. For this true sharing to work, the familiar must remain in contact with the caster throughout the duration. Any loss of contact ends the spell instantly. Shared skills only share skill ranks, not ability bonuses, and these ranks do not stack with ranks possessed by the other. Feats never stack, even if they would. Special qualities are only shared if the quality is not dependent on a physical trait. For example, a viper has the special quality of poison, but this would not be shared because the quality is based on

having poison glands, which the caster likely does not possess. An exception is the familiar ability of Improved Evasion. During the duration of this spell, the caster and the familiar both have Evasion instead. If the caster or familiar should die while under the effects of this spell, the other must immediately make a Fortitude Save (DC 20) or also perish from the shock of loss.

Tunnel Vision
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell resistance: No Subjects of this spell cannot see with their peripheral vision. This causes them to lose their Dexterity bonus (if any) against anyone who is gaining a anking bonus against them.

Tune Cooties
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature touched Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This insipid spell puts a song in the affected creatures head that it just cannot seem to shake. Whatever the creature does or thinks, the songs chorus repeatedly loops in its thoughts. This small dose of madness tends to distract the creature at the worst possible moments, conferring upon it a 1 morale penalty to its rst action (attack, skill check or saving throw) each round. If the affected character is a spellcaster, he must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + bards Cha modier) each time he wants to cast a spell for the duration of tune cooties. If he fails the roll, then his spell is lost.

Twist Speech
Enchantment (Compulsion) Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, M, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Line of sight Target: One creature Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes With this spell, you can permanently change the primary language of your target or forever destroy their understanding of a single word of your choice. Twist speech can be used on any creature of at least human intelligence that uses, or at least understands, one or more languages. When used to change the victims primary language, the spell rearranges the pathways of their mind, causing them to forget their primary languages (usually common and racial tongues, if any) in favour of another language of your choice. The new language is considered to be their primary language; they are as uent in it as they were in the replaced language and can read and write if they were literate in the original tongue. The language the victim learns must be one that you speak uently and it must be selected at the time of casting. The original language is completely and absolutely erased from their mind and they can only relearn it after careful study (and expenditure of skill points) or if they are cured via a greater restoration, limited wish, miracle or wish. When used to destroy a word, the spell completely removes the victims comprehension, their very conception, of one word of your choice.

Focus: An instrument of some sort, used to produce the correct resonance.

instead disconcerting, vaguely sinister gibberish. The word chosen must be one that expresses a strong emotion or concept, such as love. Though the unfortunate victim cannot even conceive of the destroyed word, he can still feel associated emotions and sensations; so a victim whose conception of the word hunger has been destroyed still feels hunger pangs, though he will not recognise them for what they are. A victim can only suffer from one destroyed word at a time; if the spell is cast upon his again, it has no effect. Only a greater restoration, limited wish, miracle or wish can reverse the effects of twist speech. Against creatures of the outsider type, particularly those monsters known as ends, twist speech is especially dangerous. If you somehow discover the beasts true name and then destroy the ends memory of it, the effects are catastrophic. If its true name is destroyed on the Prime Material Plane, the end is instantly and irrevocably banished; it is unable to return to the Prime Material Plane until the memory of its true name is restored to it by a miracle or wish spell. If its true name is destroyed on its home plane, the end is permanently destroyed, its essence scattered so thoroughly that only a end of godlike power, or a true god, can restore it. Material Component: A sheet of parchment or paper, upon which must be written either a full page of text in the language to be forced upon the victim, or one hundred repetitions of the word to be erased from the victims memory. In addition, if the caster is not a sorcerer, he must have the preserved tongue of a member of the victims species to serve as a focus.

to be under concealment (20% miss chance). In addition, the umbral aura provides the subject a +4 to Hide checks. The umbral aura does not interfere with the subjects sight. * If an opponents attack misses by two or less, the umbral aura is hit instead and takes damage from the weapon used in the attack. Area of effect spells also damage the aura, but as long as the subject succeeds his saving throw by more than one, the aura only takes half-damage. When created the umbral aura has an amount of hit points equal to the casters hit points at the time of casting.

Illusion (Shadow) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Touched creature or object Duration: 1 round + 1 round/level (max +5) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No By instilling shadow energy into the subject of this spell, you grant them 1d8 temporary hit points for the duration of the spell. This spell works on both living and non-living creatures.

This protective aura grants the subject the following benets: * While under the affects of an umbral aura, the subject of the spell acts as if he has cover (due to the quasi-real nature of the aura) and is considered

you may project your necromantic castings greater distances than normal. For the duration of the spell, you may cast any necromantic spell you know and have prepared from a controlled undead creature rather than yourself. In terms of range, touch attacks and area of effect, the undead creature effectively becomes the caster of these spells, though all other variables of the spell, such as caster level, are yours. Material Component: Pinch of bone dust.

Unbalanced Pattern
Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action. Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 15 ft. radius spread Duration: Concentration + 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This pattern unbalances all creatures in its area of effect. Those who leave the area of effect are unbalanced for one round afterwards and then return to normal. The unbalanced condition is described in Appendix I (see pg. 241). Material component: An unbalanced weight.

Undead Gate
Conjuration (Contigent Necromancy, Summoning) [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One or more summoned undead creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart Duration: See below Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No By means of this spell, you enchant any normal portal (doorway, archway, window and so on.) to act as a gate for undead monsters. The portal need not be large enough to allow the undead to pass through it, as the magic of the spell causes the undead to appear within range of the portal. Once the undead gate has been placed, it cannot be moved. Furthermore, no more than one undead gate can exist in any given square mile area. Any attempt to create more than one in such an area destroys both gates. An undead gate remains enchanted indenitely until used once per level of the caster. Thus, a 16th level wizard could use her undead gate 16 times, after which the enchantment would vanish. An undead gate registers to detect magic, although this may not reveal the portals nature. A successful dispel magic rids the portal of its enchantment (although any undead produced before this remain). Once the undead gate is in place, you can use it so long as you are within range of the portal. Upon command, the undead gate summons a random number of the desired type of undead monster. Summoned undead appear anywhere within range of the portal, as designated by you. They behave in a manner consistent with creatures called forth by the various summon monster spells, remaining until destroyed or dismissed, for up to one round per level of the caster. The magic of this spell imbues the undead with the ability to understand your spoken commands.

Undead Conduit
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Targets: One undead creature Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No By strengthening the bondings of negative energy between yourself and an undead creature you control,

Spell Descriptions

You may only summon one group of undead at a time. So once the gate is activated, no additional undead may be summoned by that particular gate until the rst group was slain or dismissed. Undead that are turned, but not destroyed, count against this limit. As soon as the last of the group is destroyed or disappears, the gate may be used again. To determine the number and type of undead summoned, choose from the following list: * * * * * 1 Zombie, Colossal 1d3 Skeletons, Colossal 1d3 Zombies, Gargantuan 1d6+1 Skeletons, Gargantuan 1d6+1 Zombies, Huge Undead summoned via an undead gate are standard representatives of their type. They have all the normal strengths and weaknesses, conforming to their entries in the MM.

Unfetter Undead
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 50 ft. radius emanation Duration: 1 day Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: No By manipulating the strands of control that exist between undead and their master, this spell can disrupt and distort such bindings. All undead within a 50-foot radius of the spells target become uncontrolled unless their master makes a successful Will save. Undead affected by unfetter undead are difcult to control for some times afterwards and so all turning checks are made with a 4 penalty for a further one hour. Material Component: Three drops of blood from a corpse that died of cold.

Undying Loyalty
Enchantment (Contingent Necromancy) Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: Instantaneous (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes By succeeding at a melee touch attack, the caster initiates a spiritual change in the target. No apparent effect occurs and, if the target makes a Will save against this spell, nothing happens at all. Failure completes the change but, aside from a eeting chill and a momentary sense of dread, there is no other effect. That is, until the subject dies any time in the future. The caster is immediately informed of the death. The subject, if it becomes undead for any reason, is now subject to the casters enchantment spells. This spell circumvents the undeads usual immunity to mind-affecting spells, but only with respect to the caster. To any other source, the undead retains its immunity. Material Component: Hair, nails, scales or some other part of the subject and a piece of gravestone.

Union of Body
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels) Area: Two living, non-plant creatures, both of which are no further apart than 10 feet Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude and Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes This strange spell fuses two creatures together for a time. If either or both of them are not willing subjects, they both make Fortitude and Will saving throws. The effects of the spell depend on which saving throws fail (as always, willing targets can choose to fail their saves on purpose): * All four saving throws fail: The creatures fuse into one creature, whose type becomes aberration. It has a bizarre appearance, with all the limbs of both subjects, a two-sided head with both faces (if applicable), and the rest a strange amalgam. It is the size of the larger of the two subjects. This new creature has the higher of the two subjects hit points, ability scores, saving throw bonuses, Armour Class, skill bonuses and speed. It retains all the movement capabilities, special abilities,

spells, feats and knowledge of both creatures. Redundant abilities, such as if both of them possessed the feat Cleave, produce no special effect beyond the fact that the gestalt creature has the feat. The new creature has all the gear of both subjects, although in the case of redundancy (two sets of armour, two rings of protection or two cloaks, for example) only the better of the two remains, while the other is subsumed into the creatures form for the duration. Since the gestalt creature has multiple arms, multiple weapons are not redundant. While the creature does not gain more actions, it does automatically gain TwoWeapon Fighting feat. With both minds still active within the gestalt creature, the two subjects must agree on all actions the body takes (or it does nothing). If they cannot agree, one mind can attempt to assert dominance by making an opposed Charisma check against the other mind. The winner gains control of the gestalt creature for 1d10 rounds. All spell effects active on either subject before the spell is cast affect the gestalt creature as well. Thus, if one was charmed and the other was hasted, the gestalt creature is both charmed and hasted. When the spell ends, so do magical effects on both subjects, whether benecial or detrimental. * Damage dealt to the gestalt creature is evenly divided between the two subjects where possible. Damage that cannot be equally divided (such as 1 point of drained Strength) is ignored. After the spell ends, both creatures remember some details of the others thoughts and memories (DMs discretion). If the gestalt creature dies, both subjects are dead. One creature fails just one saving throw, and the other succeeds at both: The creature failing the saving throw suffers 4d6 points of damage. The other subject remains unaffected, and there is no fusing. One creature fails just one saving throw and the other fails both: The creature succeeding at one saving throw suffers 2d6 points of damage. The other suffers 6d6 points of damage. There is no fusing. One creature fails just the Fortitude saving throw, one fails just the Will save: The creature failing the Fortitude saving throw disappears, its

mind transported into the other creatures body. This transported mind now controls the other creatures body for the duration. The controller keeps its Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, level, class, base attack bonus, base save bonuses, alignment and mental abilities. The body retains its Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, hit points, natural abilities and automatic abilities. For example, a shs body breathes water and a trolls body regenerates, regardless of the mind controlling it. A body with extra limbs does not allow the controlling creature to make more attacks (or more advantageous two-weapon attacks) than normal. The controlling creature cannot choose to activate the bodys extraordinary or supernatural abilities. The controlled creatures spells and spell-like abilities do not stay with the body. * Both creatures fail the Fortitude saving throws but succeed at the Will saves: The subjects fuse into one creature, as described above, but have no control over the new body. They spend the entire duration of the spell paralysed. Both creatures fail the Will saving throws but succeed at the Fortitude saves: Both creatures are stunned for the duration, their minds (but not their bodies) fused together in a confusing jumble. When the spell ends, both subjects remember some details of the others thoughts and memories (DMs discretion). Same creature fails both saves, other succeeds at both: The creature failing the saving throws suffers 8d6 points of damage. The other subject remains unaffected, and there is no fusing. Both creatures succeed at both saves: Nothing happens.

* *

A subject that fused (at least partially successfully) with a creature it nds particularly repelling may suffer additional drawbacks from this spell, at the DMs discretion. In these cases, such as if a paladin fused with a demon or a ranger with its favoured enemy, one or both may suffer a morale penalty to attacks, damage, saves and checks for up to 10 minutes after the spell ends. The aforementioned paladin may even nd atonement appropriate in the aftermath of the gestalt. If the caster fails to overcome the spell resistance of either subject, the entire spell has no effect on either creature.

Unseen Trickster
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One invisible, mindless, shapeless trickster Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This improved form of unseen servant is capable of taking on a much wider range of actions than its simpler, lower level brother. The unseen trickster can full all the roles and abilities listed for an unseen servant. In addition, it can take a limited number of actions to disrupt or annoy the casters enemies. The trickster may not attack, but it may use the aid another combat action. It attacks using its casters base attack bonus to attempt to aid another. The trickster tugs at its targets belt straps, pokes him in the eye and otherwise makes a nuisance of it. The trickster also has the limited ability to lch items from the unwary. The trickster has 4 ranks in the Sleight of Hand skill and has a Dexterity score of 10. Items it steals seem to hover in mid-air as the trickster carries them and it has an effective Strength score of 2. Thus, it can lift 20 pounds or drag 100 pounds. Apart from the exceptions listed above, the unseen trickster acts as an unseen servant. It cannot be killed, but is destroyed if it takes 6 points of damage from an area attack. Against such assaults, it automatically fails its saving throw. If you order the trickster to move beyond the range of this spell, it immediately dissipates. Material Components: A short length of string tied into a loose knot.

Vampiric Lust
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One living creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The victim of this spell begins to dislike food and instead crave human blood, much like the infamous vampire. He has no real idea why this is so and will begin to ght this urge. After a day, the victim must make his rst Will save. If unsuccessful, he gets the taste for human blood and begins to crave it more and more. He can ght this urge, but if three days go by without the victim getting any blood, the target will lose 1d4 points of Constitution. After a week, the victim must make his second Will save; if successful, he merely loses 1d4 points of Constitution more and breaks this spell, but if unsuccessful, he must have the blood in order to live. At this point, every day that goes by without any blood, he loses 2 points of Constitution permanently, until he dies. This is a powerful spell and can only be countered by a wish spell. This spell has become a curse and will forever change the victims life. Note also, that the target is not a real vampire and therefore gain none of this creatures other powers.

Venom Touch
Necromancy Level: Asn 2, Bard 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Effect: One creature touched Duration: Instantaneous (see text) Saving Throw: Yes Spell Resistance: Yes Your hands are infused with a virulent poison of your choice, similar to the cleric spell poison. Upon a successful melee attack, you infect the victim with the poison. The victim must make an immediate Fortitude save or suffer 1d6 Strength damage immediately, and additional 1d6 Strength damage 1 minute later. The DC applies for both saves. Material Component: A fang from any species of poisonous snake.

Vacate Bowels
Necromancy Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One living creature Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes The target creatures bowels completely evacuate, with predictable results, if it fails its Fortitude saving throw. So violent is this action that the creature is immediately stunned (drops everything held, cannot take actions, takes a 2 penalty to AC and loses Dexterity bonus to AC) until the casters turn next round.

Necromancy Level: Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One target Duration: 1 minute Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spells weakens the innate resistance of its target, making him or her more susceptible to the effects of poison and disease. A victim who fails to save suffers a -2 penalty to all saving throws versus poison and disease for the next minute. While suffering the effects of the spell, the victim is noticeably pallid, shivers as though stricken by cold chills, sweats as though feverish and suffers from minor stomach irritation, as though he were suffering from an extreme form of u. Material Component: A piece of esh taken from a victim slain by poison or disease.

Voice of Memories
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One humanoid creature Duration: Special Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You weave magic into your voice or music as you begin hypnotizing your target. If the target fails their Will save, their subconscious mind comes under your inuence. You have a period of 3 minutes to instil false memories or cause the target to forget painful experiences. New memories are somewhat fragmented, yet the targets own mind lls them in actually making the spell more effective over time. New memories that go far against anything the target has ever experienced allow a second Will save to reject the memory as nothing but a dream. This spell can be used to set up a patsy to take the blame for a crime or it can be used to help erase and ease painful memories to help an individual begin to move back into normal life after a horrible trauma. You receive no information about memories already contained in the targets mind, you need to be familiar with the characters background already before attempting to erase memories or add new memories. A special trauma or careful examination of ones past can offer another Will save to reject new memories or overcome a block to recalling erased memories. Normal healing spells cannot overcome the memories created by this spell but a limited wish, wish, miracle or similar magic instantly return the target to normal. Hypnosis or other spells of the mind also stand a chance of identifying the changed memories (Games Masters option).

Visage of the Dead


Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Targets: You Duration: 10 minutes/level Through the use of this spell, you can alter your appearance and form to that of a corpse or zombie of the same size class. Body temperature will feel cold, limbs will stiffen and esh will appear putrid and rotting. Although the usual undead abilities and immunities are not granted by visage of the dead, you do gain a +2 resistance bonus to saves against cold, electrical, sleep and poison attacks. In addition, you no longer need to breathe whilst the spell is in effect. If used to hide amongst the dead, the spell grants a near awless image. Assume the caster has taken 20 with a Disguise check, adding the casters level and ranks in Disguise as additional bonuses. Generally, such a test need only be taken if the caster is being carefully examined. The caster may still move freely, however, and will appear much like an ordinary zombie, though he does not gain any further benets other than those outlined above. Material Component: Dirt from a fresh humanoid grave.

dragon of evil alignment (very old or older, based on the Games Masters judgement) to speak with you. At the end of the spell the dragon may make a Will save to resist the call. If it fails, it is compelled to come. If the dragon succeeds, it may come anyway just to nd out who was bold enough to invoke this ancient power. Whether the dragon comes though compulsion or amusement, it is not bound in any way to assist the caster or even to leave him alive. If the dragon was compelled to come, the caster has 1 round per level to negotiate before the magic fades. If the dragon came of its own free will, the caster has no protection at all. An intelligent caster will prepare a suitable offering (food, magic items and treasure) before casting this spell. Focus: A statue of a dragon carved out of precious gemstone worth at least 1,000 gp. The material used in the focus dictates the colour of the dragon summoned: black star sapphire for black, diamond for white, emerald for green, sapphire for blue or ruby for red.

These attacks are considered to be both magical and evil for the purposes of defeating damage reduction. * * Base movement is increased by 30 feet. +2 inherent bonus to Jump checks and can move along walls and ceilings as though under the effects of a spider climb spell, the recipient may move at their full movement rate, however. +4 inherent bonus to all saves to resist spells or spell-like abilities that restrict movement in any way, for example hold person, web or esh to stone.

These powerful benets are not gained without cost. The recipient loses all access to spellcasting and suffers a -4 penalty to their Intelligence score for the duration of the spell.

Volcanic Wave
Evocation [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 40 ft. Area: Cone Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex half, see text Spell Resistance: Yes Casting the volcanic wave spell unleashes a torrent of aming lava that instantly engulfs the affected area. Any characters or creatures caught within the cone suffer 2d4 points of re damage per caster level (maximum 20d4). Additionally, all affected characters and creatures suffer an additional 1 point of damage for a number of rounds after being hit by the spell equal to one-half the casters level (round down). A successful Reex save reduces the initial damage to half though the secondary damage remains at 1 hp/round. XP Cost: 100 XP per caster level.

Spell Descriptions

A glittering stream of power erupts from your hand when this spell is cast and any creature so unfortunate as to be caught in its path may be slain instantly. Creatures that are touched by the stream and fail their Reex save have their heads removed instantly; those who succeed suffer a loss of one-half of their current hit points and will lose 1d10 hit points each round thereafter until they receive rst aid or magical healing of some type. Damage from this spell can be regenerated normally, though creatures that fail their Reex save die instantly unless they can survive without their heads. Vorpal spray can affect a total of 60 HD worth of creatures. The spell ends either at the expiry of the duration or when affecting a further creature would take it above the 60 HD total, whichever happens sooner. This spell actually functions by teleporting razor-thin slices out of the necks of affected targets to random locations around the battleeld. The aftermath of the spell can be quite gruesome, as strips of skin and fragments of bone rain down around the affected area in a bloody storm. Material Components: A golden straight razor oating in quicksilver (1,000 gp value).

Vulnerability
Transmutation (Varies) Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes A cone of swirling light springs from your hand, leaving all in its path highly vulnerable to further magical attack. When the spell is cast, you must determine which of the spell descriptors (acid, chaotic, cold, darkness, death, electricity, evil, fear, re, force, good, language-dependent, lawful, light, mindaffecting, sonic or teleportation) to which the target will be vulnerable. Targets who fail their Will save suffer a 4 penalty to all saving throws against spells with that descriptor for the duration of the spell. Material Component: An ornate crystal dagger (value 75 gp).

Wall of Bone
Necromancy (Contingent Conjuration) Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: Bone wall whose area is up to one 5 ft. square/level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No You cause a vertical bone wall, anchored to the oor, to appear in an area unoccupied by physical objects or creatures. The wall of bone is 1 inch thick per four caster levels, though by halving the walls thickness, its area may be doubled. Each 5-foot square of the wall has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and a hardness of 5. One side of the wall is at and featureless polished bone, whilst the other manifests bony arms that attack anyone attempting to approach. These arms have a base attack bonus equal to that of the caster and each round 1d3 arms will attack anyone within 5 feet of the wall, dealing 1d6 points of damage on a successful hit.

Creatures can hit the wall automatically. A section of wall whose hit points drop to zero is breached. If a creature attempts to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 20 + 2 per inch of thickness. Material Component: Intact arm bone.

Wall of Darkness
Evocation [Darkness] Level: Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft.+ 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Opaque wall of shadow up to 20 ft. long/ level Duration: Concentration + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You create a wall or curtain of darkness. The wall does not in any way impede physical movement, but it does prevent anyone on one side from seeing what occurs on the other. Creatures in the process of passing through the wall are treated as though in the area of effect of a darkness spell. Magical light sources penetrate (and essentially dispel) the wall if they are higher level spells.

Wall of Bone, Greater


Necromancy (Contingent Conjuration) Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: A wall of human bones whose area is up to one 10-ft. square/level (see text) Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No You create a wall crafted from troll bones. The wall forms whatever shape is necessary to ll the area in which you create it. It shifts to seal off holes or ll a gap in an existing wall. The bones form a seamless barrier with stone walls, trees or any other obstacle. The bones never occupy the same space as any unliving or living matter. If an object exists in the area in which you attempt to create the wall, the bones form around it. The wall of bones always appear as a at wall, though you may shape them to t a hole or other space. The wall does not need to be anchored in place. It forms supports and struts formed from leg bones. The wall may use these bones to move at a speed of 15 feet per round. It moves at your direction, though you must spend a move action to direct the wall. You must be able to see the wall in order to command it. The walls size and dimensions are dictated by your caster level. It is 1 inch thick for every 4 caster levels and has 20 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 5. Attacks against the wall hit automatically. Damage against a section that reduces it to 0 hit points leaves a hole in the wall. A creature may attempt to sunder the wall with a Strength check (DC 23). You may designate one side of the wall to reach forth and grasp at attackers. Anyone standing within 5 feet of that side of the wall is subject to 1d6 attacks from the clawed arm bones used to form the wall. The wall ghts as a troll skeleton (MM). In addition, it may make grappling attacks to immobilise its victims. The wall makes its attack on your initiative. If for some reason you do not have an initiative in the battle, roll for the wall without any modiers.

Wall of Distraction
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Wall of light whose area is up to one 5 ft. square/level (see text) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes The scintillating wall of pale white mist brought into effect by this spell inicts an intense and severe distraction upon all those who make contact with it or pass through it. The wall does not block line of sight, nor does it offer concealment. Creatures failing their Will saves suffer a 2 morale penalty to attacks, damage, skill checks and saving throws for one hour. This effect is not cumulative; thus, the target(s) can pass through the wall several times while affected without adding to this duration. Those who succeed at the Will save suffer only a 1 morale penalty for one hour. The caster is immune to the effects of a wall of distraction he cast. In addition, the caster can release any victim of the wall from the distraction effect at will (the target must be visible to the caster to do so). A dispel magic will automatically destroy a 5-foot cube of this wall per effective caster level (up to 10) of the dispel. More powerful dispelling effects destroy the entire wall automatically. Material Component: A small sheet of mica and a lit candle anointed with 250 gp worth of precious oils.

Wall of Fear
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 4, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Insubstantial wall whose area is up to one 10-ft. square/level or a sphere or hemisphere with a radius of up to 1 ft./level Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes This spell creates an imperceptible wall of pure fear. Anyone trying to pass through the wall must succeed at a Will save or be invaded by blind terror and back away, unable to cross until the spell ends. Succeeding in the saving throw allows the creature to pass the wall once, and must roll again if attempting to cross the affected area again, but with a +1 morale bonus for each time it successfully crossed this wall previously. The wall remains in place no matter how many creatures are able to cross it, only dissipating at the end of its duration. Material Component: Powder made from crushed bones.

Those who come within 30 feet of the wall must make a Will save versus the spells DC or become unbalanced (see Appendix I for details on the effects of being unbalanced) for 2d4 rounds. At 20 feet away from the wall, one must make a Will save versus the spells DC or suffer one of the following effects: 1d10 1-2 3-5 6-7 8-9 10 Effect Blinded for 2d4 rounds Dazed for 2d4 rounds Nauseated for 2d4 rounds Deafened for 2d4 rounds Stunned for 2d4 rounds

When a creature pushes forward to 10 feet, he must make another Will save or be confused for 2d4 rounds. Those who continue to 5 feet must make a Will save or be paralysed for 2d4 rounds. Finally those who reach the wall itself must make one last Will save, if they fail then they fall unconscious for 2d4 rounds, but if they succeed, then they may continue to the other side. A wall of patterns spell cast to materialise in a space occupied by a creature is disrupted and the spell is wasted.

Wall of Patterns
Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Wall 5 ft./level wide x 2 ft./level high Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: See text This spell creates an immobile and insubstantial wall of patterns that has adverse effects on those who attempt to pass through it. One side of the wall, selected by the caster, sends forth waves of patterns to dazzle, unbalance, stun and confuse his foes. Those on the side not chosen to emanate patterns can walk up to the very edge of the wall without ill effect. The caster is immune to the wall of patterns affects and may pass through and remain near the wall with no ill effect. Any creature with fewer than 9 HD that is within 40 feet of the wall is dazzled and distracted (see Appendix I for details on the effects of distraction) for 2d4 rounds with no saving throw. Those who have 9 or more HD receive a Will saving throw to negate.

Wall of Snakes
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Wall of writhing snakes whose area is up to one 10-ft. square/level (see text) Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No You cause a tremendous pile of interwoven vipers to spring into existence. This wall may be used to seal off a hallway or ll a gap in an existing wall. The snakes anchor themselves so that they form a continuous barrier with a wall or other solid matter available. The snakes never occupy the same space as any unliving or living matter. If an object exists in the area in which you attempt to create the wall, the snakes form around it. The snakes always appear as a at wall, though you may shape them to t a hole or other space.

Spell Descriptions

The walls size and dimensions are dictated by your caster level. It is 1 inch thick for every 4 caster levels and has 15 hit points per inch of thickness. Attacks against the wall hit automatically, but as the snakes continually move and shift within the wall, all attacks deal half damage. As an attacker hacks through some of the snakes, the rest move to ll the hole. The wall regenerates 3 hit points per round in any 5-foot section that has taken damage. The wall cannot regenerate acid damage. If a section of wall is reduced to 0 hit points, it is breached until it regenerates back above 0 hit points. You may not break through the wall, as the snakes are too uid to grasp and rend. However, you may attempt to force your way through the wall with a DC 15 Strength check taken as a move action. If you succeed, you push your way through 10 feet of wall. Doing so draws 1d6 attacks from the snakes, each of which attacks as a Medium viper. You suffer these attacks whether your Strength check fails or succeeds. Furthermore, you may designate the order for the snakes to extend and attack from one side of the wall. Any creature within 5 feet of that side is subject to 1d6 attacks per round. The wall makes its attack on your initiative. If for some reason you do not have an initiative in the battle, roll for the wall without any modiers. The wall may not be knocked over or formed along a horizontal plane. Snakes killed by damage to the wall disintegrate into dust. Any spell that may be used to affect the attitude or senses of an animal weakens the walls capabilities. The snakes may only attack opponents that they may see or otherwise sense, though they are always aware of creatures that attempt to force their way through the wall. A spellcaster or creature may use any magic that can charm or befriend an animal against the wall. The snakes refuse to attack anyone who has charmed them, even if they attempt to force their way through. The wall makes Will saving throws as a wizard at the caster level used to create the wall. Focus: A small woodwind instrument. As the magical energy used to form the spell takes place, the instrument spontaneously plays a short, hypnotic tune.

Wall of Spiders
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Wall of spiders whose area is up to one 5 ft. cube/level, see text Duration: 1 minute / level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No The caster causes a writhing mass of Tiny poisonous spiders to appear, which instantaneously coalesces into the shape of an impenetrable wall. This wall can be used to close a passage, to channel opponents or protect from the elements. The wall cannot, however, be conjured so that it occupies the same space as a creature or another object. Unlike a wall of iron, a wall of spiders can be formed into almost any shape desired. It need not be vertical, nor must it rest upon a rm foundation, it can even be laid horizontally. A wall of spiders is pliant and moves at a touch, but is rm enough to walk upon, should someone desire to do so. Any creature which touches the wall suffers 25 their Armour Class points of damage. Dexterity and dodge bonuses to Armour Class do not count for this calculation. Creatures with an Armour Class

of 25 or higher, without considering Dexterity or dodge bonuses, suffer no damage. In addition, the virulent contact poison that covers the wall and lls the fangs of the spiders that compose it is deadly in the extreme; those who touch the wall must attempt a Fortitude save to avoid suffering 1d6 points of initial and secondary Constitution damage. Those who are immune to poison need not attempt to save. Living beings can attempt to force themselves through a wall of spiders, but they suffer a -2 circumstance penalty to their saves to resist the walls poison when doing so. To push through the wall, the being must attempt a Strength check as a full round action. The DC of the check is 20 and a successful check allows the being to move 5 feet and for every full 5 points by which the check succeeds, the being can move an additional 5 feet. A creature trapped in the wall can choose to remain absolutely still and does not suffer damage and need not attempt to save versus poison, when doing so. It is not possible to simply breach a section of wall with a Strength check, as the wall is simply too pliable. Like any other wall, a wall of spiders can be destroyed by means of a disintegrate spell or by attacking the wall with weapons. Each 5 foot section of wall has 50 hit points and a hardness of 5. Though the wall of spiders is entirely composed of spiders, it cannot be destroyed or controlled by spells that affect vermin, nor is it subject to the effects of spells like harm. The spiders that make up the wall are entirely magical in nature and are not living in any real sense. Material Components: A petried spiders egg sack.

damage against anyone attempting to pass through it. Further, the character attempting to pass through must make a DC 18 Will save. Failure means that the character is repelled by the barrier, but can attempt to cross it again as many times as he likes on subsequent attempts a character will suffer an additional 6d6 points of damage and have to make additional saving throws. A wall of will cannot move, it is immune to damage of all kinds, and it is unaffected by most spells, including dispel magic. Spells and breath weapons cannot pass through the wall in either direction, although dimension door, teleport and similar effects can bypass the barrier. The wall blocks ethereal creatures as well as material creatures. Gaze attacks cannot pierce a wall of will the wall is opaque. Material Component: A small piece of agate.

War Mastery
Divination Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell grants the touched creature insight into an advanced combat technique. You grant your target a single feat included on the ghter classs list of bonus feats. The target must meet all prerequisites for this feat, including minimum ability scores, base attack bonus or other feats. The target of this spell chooses the feat he wishes to gain when he receives this spell. If the feat works only with a single weapon, the target chooses the weapon. If the recipient selects a feat for which he does not meet the necessary requirements, he does not gain a feat and the spell is lost.

David Culliford (order #1969295)

Spell Descriptions

The island protected by ward island becomes wreathed in magical mists and almost impossible to locate. It becomes invisible to anyone more than 5 miles offshore. Any vessels or characters entering the range of the spell must make a Will save every minute or unconsciously steer away from the island. The mists also give a +5 insight bonus to saving throws against scrying. Anyone touching the islands shores triggers a silent alarm spell. The mists surround the whole island, creating a week-long fog cloud 100 feet thick along either the shoreline or in an offshore ring. The spell also gives the caster the following spell-like abilities: * Once per hour, the caster may create a gust of wind emanating from any point on the waters surrounding the island. Once per day, he may control weather or control winds within the spells area of effect. If the caster used the druidic form of this spell, he may commune with nature once a day while on the island. If the caster used the arcane form of the spell, he may tie the casting of a magnicent mansion into this spell, so that the mansion lasts for one week. Once per week, he may cast tempest on any ship within the spells area of effect. He may use modify memory at will, but only on those leaving the spells area of effect.

to them for its duration. While under the effects of wardbane, you can handle items protected by hanging magic like glyphs, symbols, re trap, explosive runes or other warding spells. You can safely pass through any area protected by a magical trap and may freely ignore the effects of any spell with the word ward, wards or warding in its name. (The Games Master is free to disallow this in the case of spells that may have the word in its name but does not qualify as warding magic in his opinion.) Your familiar is also protected only if it is in physical contact with you, but you cannot extend the protection to other creatures. Material Component: A leather glove once worn by a rogue while successfully disarming a magical trap.

Water Brand
Evocation Level: Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 10 minutes/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The energy of this spell creates a blue, wavy brand on the face, hand or other prominent feature of any creature, living or undead. Those bearing this mark gain a +2 enhancement bonus to Constitution. They also possess the ability to cast from the palm of the hand a stream of water which requires a normal ranged attack roll and deals 5d6 points of damage to a target it hits within medium range (100 feet + 10 feet/level). Using this stream of water ability is a standard action that immediately dismisses the water brand.

A caster may only have one ward island spell in effect at any time. Material Component: A perfectly constructed scale model of the island made of silver, gold, exotic woods and ground sapphire dust, costing at least 10,000 gold pieces.

Water Brand, Greater


Evocation Level: Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 4 As water brand, except that the mark allows the subject to breathe water for the duration or until the subject uses the greater marks other effect: to safely teleport the caster from any completely submerged location to the surface of the water directly above.

Wave of Heat
Evocation [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 10 ft. Effect: Burst of heat extending in a 10-ft.-radius from you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reex half Spell Resistance: Yes When this spell is cast, a powerful burst of heat energy travels out to a 10-foot-radius distance from you in all directions (stopped only by physical barriers, such as stone oors, wooden ceilings, walls and so on). All creatures within this affected area, except for you, take 1d6 points of re damage per caster level (maximum 5d6). The heat wave will not affect inanimate objects or cause combustible materials to catch re.

Wave of Mutilation
Necromancy [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60-ft. Effect: A line-shaped wave ten feet high and wide emanating from the caster to the extreme of the range Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes The exceedingly unpleasant wave of mutilation imbues the air (or the water, if cast onto a body of water) with savage hatred. Phantasmal razor blades, instruments of torture and grasping hands appear in the wave as it rushes towards its victims. When the wave strikes, it tears at whatever section of the victims body he fears injury to the most - a wizards hands, for example, or a bards throat. It deals 3d8 points of damage to the rst target it strikes, as well as inicting a 2 penalty to the characters next action. If the spell reduces a target below 0 hit points, its damage is increased by 1d8 when it strikes the next victim. If it fails to kill, its damage drops down by 1d8, to a minimum of 1d8. Casting this spell on a body of water increases the damage dice to d10s. Material Component: A piece of leather that is shredded when the spell is cast.

Wave of Heat, Greater


Evocation [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Range: 20 ft. Effect: Burst of heat extending in a 20-ft.-radius from you This spell functions like wave of heat, except that it affects creatures within 20 feet of you and deals a maximum of 15d6 points of re damage to each one.

Wave of Hesitation
Enchantment Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Area: Cone Duration: Instantaneous (see text) Saving Throw: Will partial Spell Resistance: Yes Casting wave of hesitation causes a cone of shimmering lights and pale white mist to erupt from the casters outstretched hands. Every creature in this cone must succeed at a Will save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. On a successful save, the targets are affected by a daze spell if they are of the appropriate type and Hit Dice. Otherwise, there is no additional effect. Material Component: A pinch of sand, which is thrown towards the targets as the spell is cast.

Wave of Unbinding
Conjuration [Prime] Level: Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 120 ft. Area: Wave 30 ft. wide, 120 ft. long Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None (see text) Spell Resistance: No (see text) A powerful tool both for and against conjuration magic, the wave of unbinding unravels the energies that bind conjured beings and objects to the Prime Material Plane.

the wave are instantly dispelled. Even outsiders on the Prime Material Plane through their own power or spell effects must make a Will save to avoid the waves dismissal. Failure sends them back to their home plane, though it has no continuing effect afterward. Summoned creatures unbound by this spell are treated as if they were slain; they are dissipated and cannot be summoned again for 24 hours. Called beings and dismissed outsiders are not negatively affected, though they may be irritated or grateful to the caster of the wave depending on circumstance.

Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) When you cast this spell, you must choose a type of weapon damage (slashing, piercing or bludgeoning). You, or the creature to you bestow this spell upon, enjoy utter immunity to attacks from physical weapons of the chosen type. Brilliant energy weapons bypass this defence, and the immunity is only to the weapon itself. Bonus damage from any source, such as high Strength, magical enchantments or feats still gets through. This damage is considered nonlethal, regardless of its original source. Because the chosen weapon type does not penetrate this defence itself, any special effects carried by the weapon fail to affect you if they are dependent on inicting real damage. Thus, wounding does not apply on strikes from the chosen weapon, poisons are not transferred and critical threats from the chosen weapon type cannot conrm. The Games Master is free to allow or disallow other effects on a case-bycase basis. Material Component: A piece of a metal shield and a drop of honing oil.

Weapon Ward
Abjuration Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour By calling on ancient laws of form and symbolism, you are able to become virtually invulnerable to a variety of weapon attacks. You gain damage reduction equal to your caster level, but only against one kind of weapon attack, that is: Slashing, Piercing or Bludgeoning. The other two types are both unaffected by the damage reduction. As ever, magic weapons with enhancement bonuses also ignore the damage reduction. It is only possible to have one casting of this spell in effect at any one time; further castings, even if from a scroll or other magic item, will have no effect. For example: Hengler is a 12th level wizard who casts weapon ward to gain damage reduction against slashing weapons. He acquires damage reduction 12/ piercing or bludgeoning for the next hour. Trusting the infantry regiment not to think of hitting him with anything other than their swords, he wades into them, his quarterstaff snapping out to crack a skull here, smash a kneecap there. Material Component: A gold spear, sword or mace (depending on the type of damage to which you wish to become resistant) worth 100gp.

Weatherblindness
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Brd 3, Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400-ft. + 10-ft./level) Target: One creature/level Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes The victims of weatherblindness believe that the weather is always relatively pleasant and not at all dangerous. They perceive a howling hurricane as a light breeze, a torrential downpour as a spot of rain and a tidal wave as a mild swell in the ocean. The spell does not prevent the victims from seeing obvious dangers (an iceberg is always an iceberg), but they assume the weather and conditions are always as good as possible. This can have disastrous consequences if the victims are sailing a ship

Web Walking
Transmutation Level: Drd 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level With this simple spell, you can move within or through any area of webs as if the silken strands did not exist. This includes those created by a web spell or natural webs created by spiders. Note that if you are still within the connes of the webs when the duration of web walking expires, you are automatically trapped within. Material Component: A spider, living or dead.

Web Whip
Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: Reex partial Spell Resistance: Yes With a quick gesture and a few skittering, guttural words, the caster causes a jet of webbing to erupt from his hand, wrapping an unlucky target in thick, ropelike strands of sticky silk. A victim who is enveloped is rendered immobile and may take no action other than attempting to struggle free of the binding breaking loose requires a successful Strength check against the spells save DC. The sticky strands which bind the character also severely restrict his ability to breathe and he must begin saving against suffocation (per the rules in the DMG) in the second round of the spells duration. The target of the spell is allowed a Reex save; if successful he is not immobilised and need not save against suffocation, but is considered entangled for the duration of the spell. An entangled character moves at half speed, cannot run or charge and suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled spellcaster must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 15 + the spells level) Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 swift action Effect: Creates a whip from strands of webbing Duration: 1 round/2 levels Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No When this spell is cast, a thick length of woven spiders webbing appears from the casters palm. This strand of webbing is thick, strong and exible enough to function as a very effective whip. The caster wields this whip as though he possessed the Exotic Weapon Prociency (whip) feat. The whip deals normal damage and can be used normally against beings with an armour bonus of +1 or lower, or a natural armour bonus of +3 or lower, but is otherwise identical in function to a normal whip. Should the caster wish, he can use the natural stickiness of the whip to ensnare objects, tearing them from his victims grasp. The caster can attempt a disarm attack and does not provoke an attack of opportunity when doing so. For the purposes of the disarm check, the caster is considered to be wielding a two-handed weapon. If the check is failed, the caster can immediately end the spell, so as to avoid a retaliatory disarm attempt.

Whispers of the Mind


Enchantment (Compulsion, Mind-Affecting) Level: Brd 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One target Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You can hijack a targets voice, causing them to speak the words of your choosing. This does not give you control of their actions. Each round you can make them utter one statement of your choosing. The target may make a Will save to negate the effect. The target may make a Spellcraft skill check (DC 20) to determine that his utterances originate from a compulsion spell. Anyone using a detect magic spell will see that the bard and the target both have some kind of magical effect around them. This spell lasts for as long as the bard concentrates. However, the bard cannot maintain this spell for more than one round per caster level.

Wind Bindings
Evocation [Air] Level: Clr 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: Special Spell Resistance: Yes A storm-like force presses on the target from all sides, keeping it from moving. The creature can make a Strength check (DC 18) to move at half speed each round. While the wind holds it in check, the creature suffers a 2 to all its attack rolls and saving throws. You can direct the winds strength from any direction, even up and down, and the creature must make Fortitude save to avoid being moved 10 feet in that direction. If the creature is moved upwards or in a way that it is not touching the ground, it cannot attempt to move or resist any further movement by the caster. Spellcasters trapped like this must roll a Concentration check (DC 15 + spells level) or lose any spell they try to cast. Huge creatures gain a +2 to their checks and saving throws, while Gargantuan and Colossal creatures are not affected. Material Component: Iron lings..

Thus, a greatsword (normally a two-handed weapon) could be wielded in one hand or a battleaxe could be wielded as a light weapon. The weapons base damage is unchanged, and penalties for using a weapon made for a different size of wielder still apply.

Word of Warding I
Abjuration [Focused] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action (see text) Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Target spell Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This is a special form of castable counterspell, useful because it works to counter any spell of its own level or lower. Word of warding can be cast as a normal spell or it can be used as the spell spent during a standard counterspelling action. It can also simply be used as the spell spent during a standard counterspelling action. Outside of a counterspell context, this spell has no real effect and does nothing visible if cast normally. Word of warding, if defaulted to, is the only action the caster can take in the given round. This action is treated as spellcasting and provokes an attack of opportunity. Counterspelling with word of warding is treated exactly like using the spell dispel magic to do so with one important difference. When rolling the caster level check, you gain a bonus equal to your Charisma modier. Focused Effect: A successful counterspelling attempt inicts your caster level in nonlethal damage to the originator of the countered spell.

Wings of Wrath
Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level You create two massive bat-like wings on your back. These wings have a wingspan equal to twice your height and are shrouded in harmless black ames. While the wings last, they grant you basic ight (40 feet, poor manoeuvrability) and provide a +2 deection bonus to your Armour Class. In any round when you are not relying on the wings for ight, you may make a wing buffet attack with them. This melee attack strikes with a base attack bonus equal to your caster level, deals 1d8 plus your caster level in bludgeoning damage (maximum +10) and the wings are considered a reach weapon.

Even a small knife wound can be made to bleed more heavily, the esh around it turning septic as the spell works its dark magic. A ranged touch attack must be made against the subject.

Being wraithformed has several effects: * While in wraithform, the creature only has onefth of their normal hit points, however they only suffer one-fth the normal damage from nonmagical attacks. In addition, non-magical attacks suffer a 40% miss chance versus the wraithformed creature, whereas silvered and magical weapons of +1 or better enchantment only have a 20% miss chance. Even when hit by magic or a magic weapons, the wraithformed creature has a 20% chance to

Finally, when wraithformed, the creature may not cast spells that have material components.

Wretched Excess
Necromancy Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One or more creatures within a 20 ft. of each other Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes A wretched excess spell causes a magical queasiness to come upon a number of Hit Dice of creatures equal to the casters level. Creatures with the fewest Hit Dice are affected rst. Among those with equal Hit Dice, creatures closer to the spells point of origin are affected rst. Hit Dice which are not sufcient to affect a creature are wasted. Those who succumb to the spell are nauseated for a single round and cannot attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells or do anything else requiring attention. They may only take a move action during the round of effect. For the remainder of the spells duration, they are sickened, suffering a -2 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks and ability checks. For example, a wretched excess spell is cast at a Tiny monstrous spider ( Hit Die), two drow warriors (1 Hit Die each) and an ogre (4 Hit Dice), by a 5th level caster. The monstrous spider and the two drow warriors are affected ( + 1 + 1 = 2 Hit Dice) but the ogre is not, since its 4 Hit Dice are more than what the spell can affect. The same spell cast at the same targets by a 7th level caster would affect all the targets, since the total number of Hit Dice he may affect is higher than the combined Hit Dice of the creatures. A remove paralysis spell will cancel the effects of wretched excess, as will delay poison or any other spell or spell-like effect which removes poison. Beings that are immune to magical poisons are likewise immune to the effects of wretched excess, though their Hit Dice count against the spells total as normal. Wretched excess does not target unconscious creatures, plants, constructs or undead creatures. Material Components: A gourd of alcoholic beverage, a hunk of rich food and a pinch of tobacco or other recreational drug.

ignore any damage from a corporeal source. The exceptions to this rule are spells with the force descriptor or weapons with the ghost touch special property or other equivalents. * Individually targeted spells have a 20% chance to fail against the wraithformed creature. When wraithformed, the creature is considered to be one-fth its normal weight. Wraithformed creatures suffer only one-fth the normal damage from falling. While in wraithform, the creature can attempt to slip through holes and openings that are three size categories smaller than their normal size. Thus a ve foot tall elf under the wraithform spell could pass through a one-foot by one-foot opening without problem. Wraithformed creatures have their normal movement rate, can enter water and other liquids and are affected by winds. There is only a 20% chance that wraithformed creatures leave behind footprints, their scent or make a sound while moving.

Xenophobic Rage
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 7 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Targets: 1 Medium or smaller humanoid/4 levels Duration: 1 hour/level (see text) Saving Throw: Will partial (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes You sow chaos by drawing upon the secret fears of the target(s) to make them instantly aggressive to anyone not of their own race. Elves will not attack elves, but they do attack the nearest dwarf, haling, gnome or human without pause. You give the target an us against them mentality where anyone of their own race is us and every other creature is them and deserving of a deep-seated feeling of hatred and rage. The targets use all of their skills to the best of their ability to destroy their enemies (which basically include anyone not of their own race). This potent enchantment lasts for up to 1 hour/level and cannot be removed with a dispel magic spell. A break enchantment, heal, limited wish, wish, miracle or similar magic must be used to bring the spell to an early end. Those targets fortunate enough to make their Will saves are still affected as if by a confusion spell for 1 round/level.

Yellow Smoke
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius, 20 ft. high Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; see text Spell Resistance: No Yellow smoke creates a bank of fog similar to that created by stinking cloud, except that the vapours are sickening. Living creatures in the cloud become sickened. This condition lasts as long as the creature is in the cloud and for 1d4+1 rounds after it leaves. (Roll separately for each sickened character.) A sickened character takes a 2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks and ability checks. Any creature that succeeds on its save but remains in the cloud must continue to save each round on your turn. Yellow smoke can be made permanent with a permanency spell. A permanent yellow smoke dispersed by wind reforms in 10 minutes. Material Component: The crushed petals of a carrion ower.

Zombie to Ghoul
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: One zombie Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance Yes The caster touches a single zombie, which must then attempt a Will save to avoid the spells effects. If the zombie fails its saving throw, it becomes a ghoul. Controlled zombies transformed by this spell remain under their controllers command and still count against controlled undead HD limits, as do spawn created by the controlled ghoul. Material Components: A bone from a ghoul and a black onyx gem worth at least 100gp.

APPENDIX
The following appendix is a comprehensive list of all the monsters examples, skills, feats and mechanics referred to in the spell descriptions.

Speed: Same as base creature x1.5 (10 feet per round minimum). In the Spirit World, the spirit retains all of the base creatures movement modes, but when projecting or manifesting in the Prime Material Plane, it gains a y speed equal to its normal speed with perfect manoeuvrability. AC: Same as base creature with a +1 natural armour bonus. Note that the spirit is incorporeal when only projecting (see below). When incorporeal, the spirit has no natural armour bonus but gains a deection bonus equal to its Charisma modier (minimum +1). Attacks: The spirit retains all the attacks of the base creature. The spirit can only attack creatures on the same plane of existence. Damage: The same as base creature when attacking opponents on the same plane, but the spirit cannot deal physical damage at all against creatures on a different plane, or when it is projecting and incorporeal. Special Attacks: The spirit retains all the special attacks of the base creature, although those relying on physical contact do not affect creatures on a different plane. Depending on the spirits spell level (see below), it can gain one of the following special attacks. Saves have a DC of 10 + spirits spell level + spirits Wisdom modier unless noted otherwise. Manifest (Sp): Spirits with the manifest spelllike ability can breach the walls between worlds and assume a physical form in the material world. When they do so, they are vulnerable to all attacks and effects, but they can also use their powers and abilities in full against any target. Manifesting in the material world is a full-round action, but returning to the Ethereal Plane or the Spirit World (spirits choice) is a free action. It can maintain this state for 10 minutes per spirits spell level, and can do it once per month per spell level. Spirits of spell level 4+ possess this ability. Possession/Inhabitation (Sp): Some spirits can visit the Prime Material Plane by riding their material anchor, which means that they can possess animals or inhabit plants, objects and natural phenomena. They travel from the Spirit World and exist fully in the material world, but are limited by the capacities of the body in which they reside. While possessing or inhabiting, spirits can only use spell-like abilities with a personal range or that only target themselves. Spirits replace their hosts Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores as well as its saving throw bonuses and will act accordingly. Characters able to see spirits or invisible creatures will see the

New Monster Type: Spirit


All spirits belong to the Spirit monster type. Creatures with this type are the spiritual manifestation of a creature, a person, an object or even an idea. They exist almost exclusively in the transitive plane known as the Spirit World, though some can manifest in the physical world. All spirits are intelligent to some degree, even if theirs is an alien mindset. Features: A spirit has its features determined by its creation through the spirit template (see below). Spirits are always a manifestation of the divinity of nature and not a regular type of monster. Traits: A spirit possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in the creatures entry) * * Darkvision out to 120 feet. Immunity to poison, paralysis, stunning, disease and death effects. Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage or death due to massive damage. Destroyed when reduced to zero hit points, though many spirits reform in the Spirit World, the Ethereal or Astral Planes. Spell Resistance equal to 15 + spirits spell level.

Spirit T emplat e
Spirit is a template that can be added to any creature except to undead. The creature (from now on referred to as the base creature) becomes a kind of spirit that can be determined by its original type, but its type nonetheless changes to Spirit and it does not gain the augmented subtype. It otherwise uses all the base creatures statistics and special abilities except as noted here. Hit Dice: Change to d8, same as base creature +1 HD per spell level.

spirits image superimposed on the hosts. In the Spirit World, the spirit is considered to be incorporeal. Other spirits can see its transparent image, but cannot harm it directly. Spirits can possess/inhabit a host for a day per spell level, and cannot do so again until a month has passed. Ideal and ancestor spirits do not have this ability. Spirits of spell level 7+ possess this ability. Projection (Su): The spirit can project its presence into the Prime Material Plane as a move action, rather than manifesting completely. It becomes visible, but incorporeal. It can maintain this state for 10 minutes per spirits spell level and can do it twice per week per spell level. Projecting when summoned by a shaman does not count against a spirits maximum times, because it is the shamans power that calls them. Spirits unable to project or manifest on their own can still do so when summoned by shamanic abilities. Spirits of spell level 2+ possess this ability.

Spell-like Abilities: The spirit can use a number of spell-like abilities determined by its Domain and spell level (see below). It knows all spells in its Domain plus 1d6 additional spells, none of them higher than its spell level. The spirit uses its spell-like abilities as a spellcaster of the minimum shaman level needed to cast it. For example, a strife spirit of moderate power

(Spell Level 4) belongs to the Chaos Domain, and can cast chaos hammer as a 7th level shaman. The number of times it can use each of the spells in its list depends on its power and the spells own level as described in the table above. Special Qualities: The base creature replaces any special qualities granted by its original monster type by the ones from the spirit type. Domain Spells: All spirits belong to a Domain, either from the cleric lists in PHB or the ones in any other fantasy d20 book. This allegiance determines not only the spells they have access to as spell-like abilities and as a spell pool for shamans, but also indicates the kind of gods they are pledged to. Choose a Domain that ts the kind of spirit. Grant Power (Su): The spirit can share all spells it knows as well as its Domains granted power with any creature with shamanic abilities, as described in the shaman class description. (see Encyclopaedia Divine: Shaman) Material Anchor (Su): The spirit is bound to a creature, place, object or natural phenomenon according to its nature. A wolf spirit is bound to a wolf in the material world, while a justice spirit may be bound to a hall of justice or a holy sword. Whether this anchor moves or not, the spirit cannot separate from it by more than 30 feet per the spirits spell level in the corresponding space in the Spirit World. It can spy into the Prime Material Plane in a 60 foot radius around the physical anchor. Spirits without a physical anchor need a shaman if they want to know what happens in the material world. By becoming a shamans ally, the spirit gains the ability to move away from its anchor as long as it remains within 60 feet from the shaman. It can teleport at will between its anchor and the shamans side. Spirits of spell level 7+ do not need an anchor, but may have one nonetheless. Reform (Su): When the spirit is slain in any other plane than the Spirit World, it can roll a Fortitude save (DC 20) to reform itself at the rate of 3 hit points per week, reappearing in the place in the Spirit World corresponding to their material anchor when they have healed their full hit points. Destroying or heavily damaging the anchor before the spirit reforms destroys it for good. Spirits of spell level 4+ possess this ability. Spell Level: In relation with Domain allegiance, the power of a spirit is measured by the highest spell level it can cast from its Domain list. The spirits spell level

is chosen arbitrarily and has no relation to the base creatures HD or any other original characteristic. It determines all DCs for skill checks against the spirit, and some of the DCs to save from the spirits powers. For example, the checks for dealing with a spirit with spell level 4 have a DC of 14 (10 + spell level), 19 (15 + spell level) or 24 (DC 20 + spell level) depending on the ability, rite or favour asked of it. Spirit Type (Ex): The spirit has a type modier indicating an association with the base creatures original type, but this does not mean that the spirit shares the characteristics of that base creature. These descriptors serve only to determine what kind of magic can work against a given spirit. For example, a deer spirit has the Spirit type, and the Animal subtype between parentheses. Most of the subtypes correspond to existing monster types, but this does not mean that a ranger can use his favoured enemy bonuses against such spirits; he must choose Spirit as a favoured enemy type. Any spell, supernatural or spell-like ability that specically targets creatures with the Spirit type affects spirits normally. Additionally, spirits receive a +4 resistance bonus to all saving throws against effects that target the subtype. For example, a 3rd level druid with Wisdom 15 casts hold animal on a manifested lion spirit (Large Spirit, Animal subtype). As spirits are only partially affected by magic that targets their subtype, the lion spirit only needs to roll 10 to negate the spells effect (DC 10 + spell level + Wisdom modier). The following are the subtypes found among spirits, and what they mean. * Ancestor: Ancestor spirits are memories of persons who have passed on but linger to watch over their mortal kin. Base creature types: Undead (with restrictions), Humanoid, Monstrous Humanoid and any creature with class levels and Intelligence above 4. Animal: Animal spirits, such as fox, boar or any other creature that walks the earth. Base creature types: Animal, Magical Beast and Vermin. Construct: The spirits of objects and tools have the Construct subtype, as they respond to magic which affects built things. Base creature types: Construct. For common objects, use the animated object statistics found in the MM. Elemental: Elemental spirits correspond to the Elemental Planes as normal elementals do.

Appendix

Base creature types: Dragon, Elemental and Outsider. Elemental spirits also have the subtypes corresponding to their elemental natures: Air, Earth, Fire and Water. Special elemental spirits may also have descriptors: Cold and Electrical. * Ideal: The more esoteric of the spirits have this subtype, and represent the spiritual embodiment of abstract ideas and concepts. Base creature types: Any. Ideal spirits also have the subtypes corresponding to the origin of the idea: Chaos, Evil, Good and Law. Nature: Nature spirits include animae such as moonlight spirits, river spirits or dew spirits. Base creature types: Elemental, Fey, Giant and Plant. Nature spirits can have the same modiers as elemental spirits (Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Cold and Electricity). Plant: Plant spirits are mostly static and dormant. Base creature types: Plant. For normal plants, consider their base HD to range from 1 to 4, depending on size.

Saves: Same as the base creature except Will, which adds half the spirits spell level. Abilities: Strength, Dexterity and Constitution are the same as the base creature plus one half the spirits spell level. Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma are the same as base creature +1 per spirits spell level. If the base creatures Wisdom score is less than 10, its new score equals 10 + spirits spell level. Nonabilities and scores of 0 become 10. Skills: Same as the base creature, and spirits receive a +4 racial bonus to Knowledge (arcana, religion and the planes), +2 to Bluff, Sense Motive and Survival and +1 to Spot. Spirits also have additional skill points equal to 2 + Int modier per spell level. Feats: Same as the base creature, +1 for every three spell levels. Climate/Terrain: Any land and underground Organisation: Solitary, gang (2-4) or mob (7-12) Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature, +2 per three spell levels. Treasure: None Alignment: Any neutral Advancement: Spirits advance by spell level, not in HD. Additional Skill Points

There are, of course, exceptions to the rules. The spirit template could be applied to a gold dragon to make an ancestor spirit, or to a demon to personify a particularly evil storm spirit. Legend spirits are unique creatures, akin to the highest of celestials and ends. They have no subtypes and should be handled individually.

Frightening Presence (Su): It takes effect automatically when the shadow beast performs some sort of dramatic action (such as charging, attacking, or snarling). Opponents within 30 feet of the beast who witness the action must make a Will save (DC 12) or become shaken for 5d6 rounds. This ability affects only opponents with fewer Hit Dice or levels than the beast has. An opponent who succeeds at the saving throw is immune to that beasts frightful presence for one day. The save DC is Charisma based. Walk on Air (Ex): The beast can move over sandy, muddy or even swampy ground without difculty or decrease in speed. It can also move over water as if it were rm, dry ground. The beast can ride in the air as if it were rm land, so chasms and the like can be crossed without benet of a bridge.

Appendix

The click of carapace and pincers snapping rises to a fever pitch as a swarm of angry red beetles boil out of a portal to the Infernum Hell beetles are native to the Infernum, nding sustenance in the bodies of fallen demons and humans who that been sucked into that dread realm through a hellgout. A single hell beetle is the size of a gold coin and resembles a slicer beetle, with a reddish brown carapace and shorter but sharper pincers. In swarms, hell beetles form a collective hive mind intelligence devoted to their own voracious appetites.

Wounding (Ex): Each round that a hell beetle swarm deals damage to an opponent, it will also deal 1 point of Constitution damage. If the creature attacked is currently nauseated, the swarm deals 2 points of Constitution damage.

New Skill
Craft Il lusion (Int)
With this skill, an illusionist can become a master craftsman of illusions. Check: An illusionist may use this skill to attempt to make a masterwork illusion in conjunction with any of the listed crafted spells (gment, glamour, pattern and phantasm). The DC for this check is 20 + the illusions spell level. A successful check grants the spell a +1 DC to its Will disbelief saves. This bonus stacks with any other skill bonuses that may apply. Action: Varies, as noted in the spell description, with masterwork illusions taking twice as long as indicated. Try Again: Only by recasting the spell.

Combat
Hell beetle swarms tend to be single-minded, concentrating on the rst victim it locates and continuing to slice at the opponent until only bite size morsels remain. It is cognisant of its own mortality though and will switch to opponents that are able to cause it damage with magical attacks. A hell beetles attacks are considered to be chaotically aligned and magical for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Detect Magic (Sp): A hell beetle swarm has evolved over time to detect the presence of magic in its vicinity. If the swarm is targeted by any spell, it will immediately know who the source of the spell was if they are within 120 feet. This ability is equivalent to a 2nd level spell. Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a hell beetle swarm in its space much succeed on a DC 23 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based. See in Darkness (Su): A hell beetle swarm can see perfectly in darkness, even that created by the deeper darkness spell.

New Feat
Extra Familiar [Special ]
You have the ability to summon more than one familiar. Prerequisites: Must have the ability to Summon Familiar, Intelligence 13+ and Charisma 13+. Benet: You have the ability to summon an additional familiar with the familiar summoning ritual. When determining the special abilities your familiars have

access to, your effective master level is divided by the number of familiars you have, rounded down (minimum of 1). Normal: You can only have one familiar. Special: This feat may be taken a number of times equal to your primary spellcasting abilitys modier, each time allowing you the ability to summon an additional familiar.

structure in order to deduct one structure point from its total. However, some weapons are capable of causing structural damage directly.

New Combat Conditions


Distracted: A distracted creature suffers a 2 penalty to any skill checks (with the exception of Concentration) they make while distracted. This effect forces spellcasters that are attempting to cast a spell to make a Concentration check against the DC of the pattern plus the level of spell they are casting in order to successfully cast the spell. Fascinated: A fascinated creature is unable to take actions and suffers a 4 penalty to Spot and Listen checks. Any potential threat (such as an armed party member moving behind the fascinated creature) allows the creature another saving throw at 2 to the DC of the Will save. Any obvious threat, such as casting a spell, drawing a sword or aiming an arrow, automatically breaks the fascination, as does shaking or slapping the creature. A fascinated creatures ally may shake it free of the spell as a standard action. Unbalanced: An unbalanced creature suffers a -1 penalty on attack rolls, loses half of his positive Dexterity bonus to AC (rounded down, if any), moves at half speed and suffers 2 to any Strength, Dexterity and Constitution-based skills. Finally, enemies that attack him gain a +1 bonus to their attack rolls.

Rules for Structures such as Ships and Castles


Structur e Dice (S D) and Structur e Points (sp)
This characteristic, seen in the description of ships and other structures, gives the number and type of Structure Dice the construction has, together with any bonus structure points. Structure points are the construction equivalent of hit points and are used to track the damage a ship, tower or siege engine has taken. Under normal circumstances, ten full hit points worth of damage must be dealt to a
