- 7 -

Mage Spells Level 0

Components: V, SDuration: 1 turnCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes others to not see the de-tails of the wizard’s face. Anyone paying atten-tion to the wizard is entitled to a saving throwvs. Spell. If the save succeeds, they realize thatthey cannot discern some detail in the wizard’sface; careful attention will then negate thespell. A Dispel Illusion will cancel the spellentirely.❊

Range: 0Components: VDuration: ConcentrationCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

With this cantrip, the wizard can put himselfinto a trancelike state in which he is highlyaware of the details of his surroundings. For theduration of the trance, the wizard is at +2 per-ception (or +4 if there is something particularhe is looking for), but cannot take any actions.Also, he loses any Dexterity bonus to armourclass and takes a further -2 penalty, and islikely to ignore most attempts at communicat-ing with him. The wizard can break the tranceat any time, and can do so in response to aremark he “didn’t hear”, an impending attack,or whatever - it is assumed that his subcon-scious will snap him out if really necessary.❊

Pitch (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: VDuration: 2 roundsCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

This cantrip sounds a perfectly-tuned notefrom out of nowhere. The note is centred on thecaster, and can be heard from a distance of 6m. Things that block normal noise (walls, cur-tains, Silence 4,5 m Radius, etc.) block this aswell.

This spell is useful for tuning instruments „byear“, or with the help of a Tune cantrip. It is alsoslightly disturbing to those around the caster,as any single note would be if held out for tworounds.

To cast this cantrip, the bard must speak outloud the name of the note he wishes to hear,such as „Middle C“, „B Flat“, or „Quarter-stepabove the first F Sharp above High C“.❊

Protection From Sun (Abjuration)Reversible

Range: TouchComponents: V, MDuration: 3 hours + 1 hour/level

Casting Time: 2Area of Effect: One personSaving Throw: None

This cantrip protects the target from suffer-ing sunburn even under very adverse condi-tions. It does not protect against sun stroke,sunblindness, or heat exhaustion. The reverseof the spell allows the target to get a nice tanby staying in the sun for only an hour or so inany clime and on all but the cloudiest days.

The material component is a small amountof coconut milk, which the wizard must rub ona patch of bare skin.❊

Remove (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 minuteArea of Effect: 1 m³/levelSaving Throw: None

Like Sort, Remove can remove a number ofthings from a pile of things. The objects re-moved are not gone, but placed on a pile ad-jacent to the original pile. This cantrip has thesame restrictions and capacities as Sort(q.v.).❊

Sanh’s Harmless Ray of Light (Evo-cation)

Range: 6 m + 1 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: One secondCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

When cast, a ray of light is emitted from thewizard’s index finger, lasting about a second.The colour is up to the wizard (sunlight can-not be duplicated, as the ray is monochromatic,like a laser). If aimed at a creature, a save vs.spells is required. If the save succeeds, the raymissed. If it fails, the ray hits, inflicting no dam-age.

Only a critical failure (1) can result in any illeffect. In that case, the victim was struck in theeyes, and is dazzled for 1d6 tenths of a round(-2 on all rolls). Of course, if the creature inquestion is blind, or immune to such attacks,there is no effect. At the DM’s option, creaturesparticularly sensitive to light may be dazzledfor a longer period of time.

Note: While the spell is magical, the lightgenerated is not, and therefore is not subjectto magic resistance.❊

Scratch (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 3 mComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

The victim of this cantrip will experience anannoying itch on some portion of his body andmust save vs. magic or involuntarily attempt toscratch the itch.❊

Shoo (Abjuration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1 hour/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 9 m radiusSaving Throw: None

Silvadel’s Magic Feather (Enchant-ment)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: ConcentrationCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One featherSaving Throw: None

This spell simply allows the caster to con-trol a feather. This is very useful for writingthings secretly, or for tickling someone. It isrelated to the Unseen servant spell. It lasts untilconcentration is broken.

The material component for this spell is afeather.❊

Slap (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 3 mComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

The victim of this spell feels a forceful slapacross the cheek. Creatures must save vs.magic or lose concentration of spells and bedistracted for one round, dazed by the blow.❊

Sobriety (Alteration)Reversible

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: See belowCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One personSaving Throw: Negates

Casting this cantrip removes all effects ofalcohol from the wizard or any one other personhe touches. It also instantly cures hangovers.

The material component is a fresh lemon,juice from which must be squeezed on thewizard’s fingers before the casting. Unwillingtargets are granted a save vs. Spells. The du-ration of this cantrip is permanent, until the

Mage Spells Level 0

subject gets drunk again. If the spell is cast onthe wizard himself, a saving throw at -5 is re-quired, since concentration is very difficult.

The reverse cantrip, Drunkenness, makesthe wizard or his chosen target drunk for aboutan hour with no hangover. The wizard mustwave his hand before the chosen targets eyesfor the spell to take effect.

The material component is a sip of alcoholicdrink.❊

Sort (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 minuteArea of Effect: 1 m³/levelSaving Throw: None

This cantrip separates the specified amount,with a minimum of 1 cube metre, of any mix-ture of dry materials: salt and pepper, for ex-ample, or gold, platinum, and bronze. Thiscantrip does not affect living things, and can-not be used to separate materials bound to-gether, i.e. mortar, plaster or stone.❊

Sparks (Evocation)

Range: 1d4 feetComponents: SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: A few square feetSaving Throw: Special

When this cantrip is cast, a shower of sparkssprays forth from the wizard’s hand. Thesesparks are harmless unless cast in the pres-ence of highly flammable or explosive sub-stances.

Creatures particularly susceptible to firedamage, such as trolls, may, at the DM’s op-tion, suffer a point or two of damage from thesparks. Such injury can be avoided with a suc-cessful save vs. breath weapon at +4.❊

Stepping Stones (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1/10 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 4 spheres, 0.3 m diameter

eachSaving Throw: None

This cantrip creates 4 spheres of force ap-proximately 0.3 m in diameter. They can beplaced anywhere within 6 m of each other, andlast approximately 1/10 round per level of thecaster. Magical combat of just about any sortwill destroy these very useful discs so try notto use them in combat.❊

Stone (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 6 m

Components: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One pebbleSaving Throw: Special

This cantrip conjures up a small pebble inany desired location within 20 feet of the wiz-ard. The verbal component is a short phrasedescribing the desired location (e.g.: “in John’sshoe”). If the pebble will in any way affect an-other creature, as in the above example, a sav-ing throw is permitted to resist the spell.❊

Taster’s Choice (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 9 mComponents: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

Under the influence of this cantrip, an indi-vidual at meal will taste whatever taste he in-wardly desires.❊

Tune (Alteration)Reversible

Range: 0Components: V or MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 1.5 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

With this cantrip, the bard can bring one noteof an instrument in tune with either a hummednote, the equivalent note played by a secondinstrument (in which case the component ofthe spell is that other instrument, which is ob-viously not consumed in the casting; whatgood would that do?), or the result of a preced-ing Pitch cantrip (q.v.). The one note will endup perfectly in tune with the reference note. Asmany instruments as are in the area of effectcan be brought into tune at once.

A well-Tuned instrument (with two or moreTuned notes) has the effect of making thebard’s songs more melodious and enjoyable;this has the game effects of reducing the sav-ing throws of hostile creatures vs. the bard’smood-altering story telling by 1, as well asmaking the bard’s morale-boosting song affectthe listeners for half again as long (i.e. one anda half rounds per level) as it usually does.

Too many notes perfectly Tuned on an instru-ment, however, will have a negative effect onother bards in the area, who will realize that theTuned instrument has been magically alteredto sound so perfect. For each note above onethat the instrument has been Tuned, the hos-tile bard personally gets a +1 to his savingthrow vs. the playing bard’s friendly effects.

Although the Tuning is instantaneous, the ef-fects of the cantrip last for a while. In perfectconditions (humidity on the low side, comfort-able temperature, no rough handling), the in-strument will stay Tuned for a week. In less than

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

With this spell, the caster is able to perfectlyduplicate the any style of handwriting of whichhe has a sizable sample. The forgery is goodenough to fool even the closest scrutinisation,although it does radiate faint magic.

The caster merely casts the spell, and be-gins writing. His handwriting will perfectlymatch that of the sample, for the length of thespell’s duration. Those watching the casterwrite will believe that the handwriting on thepage is actually that of the caster, unless ofcourse they witness the casting of the spell,which may make them rather suspicious. Thecaster need not be writing the entire durationof the spell; he is free to stop and resume writ-ing any number of times within the duration.Also, the caster only needs the handwritingsample to be copied during the initial castingof the spell.

The material component of this spell is asample of the handwriting to be copied (con-taining an example of every letter in the alpha-bet to be used), and a writing instrument.❊

This spell draws upon the power of the Posi-tive Material Plane and calls forth a ray ofgolden light. Anyone in the area of effect of thespell must save vs. petrification or be blindedfor 1 round.

This spell allows a wizard to shape a densemist or fog into any shape within the confinesof the area of effect. The shape can then beanimated. The details of the shape and thecomplexity of the animation are poor at lowerwizard levels, but increase with experience.

By third level, the wizard cananimate the shape to the point where it couldlook like a dwarf (but not a particular dwarf)and talk.

The material component is a bit of densemist, fog or smoke. The spell can “add” mist,but it can’t create mist out of nothing. For ex-ample, the smoke from a fire or a fog spellworks sufficiently.

Additionally,such speech might not be tolerated at all insome situations (for example, automatic dis-missal from a king’s court, or perhaps evenworse...). Even if the target makes her or hissaving throw, the attack will not be noticed(unless the somatic and verbal gestures of thecaster are seen and recognized).

Minor Mimicry (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: Special

This spell allows the magic user to make thecreature touched to appear as something elsefor the duration of the spell. The illusion hasvisual and minor auditory (such as cracklingof fire, mumbling, etc., similar to ImprovedPhantasmal Force) components only. The formis chosen by the magic user, and unwillingcreatures gain a saving throw. The illusion canbe as small as half the size of the creaturemasked, and as large as something that wouldfit within 8 dm³ + 8 dm³ per level. Once the formis taken, it remains almost stationary, with onlyminor movement possible; for example, a trollillusion could growl and make threateningmotions but could not walk and attack, and afire could dance and crackle but could notspread. For this reason, objects are the formsmost often chosen. Movement is not possiblefor the recipient creature if the spell is to bemaintained, as this would break the spell. If therecipient remains still or nearly still, however, thespell will last so long as the magic user main-tains faint concentration (spell casting andtaking damage break the spell, but talking andwalking do not) and remains within 3 m perlevel of the location of the recipient (obviouslynot a problem if the magic user and the recipi-ent are the same person).

Personal Magnetism (Alteration)

Range: 15 m + 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 5 rounds/levelCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

By means of this spell, a mage is able toendow a single target creature with a magicalfield which causes all creatures within the areaof effect (of the same basic species) to bedrawn toward the target creature, much in thesay way that metal is attracted to a lodestone.

- 15 -


The spell will affect target creatures of up to 4+ 2 HD. A saving throw (vs. spells) will totallynegate this spell, but the hit dice of the targetcreature modify its saving throw in the follow-ing manner:

Hit dice:Hit dice:Hit dice:Hit dice:Hit dice: Modification to save:Modification to save:Modification to save:Modification to save:Modification to save:

less than 1 -4less than 2 -3less than 3 -2less than 4 -14 or more -

Creatures that have magical auras are totallyimmune to this spell. This includes dragons,cockatrice, etc.

If the spell dweomer successfully affects thetarget creature it will then attempt to attract allsurrounding creatures of the same species,causing them to move at their normal move-ment rate (and locomotion) toward the targetcreature. The area of effect is sphere aroundthe target creature which extends outward 3 mper level of the spellcaster, up to a maximumof a 30 m radius. The number of creatureswithin the area of effect which the dweomer willattempt to attract is equal to twice the currentlevel of the spellcaster. The mage is unable tochange this number in any way and may him-self be affected by the dweomer (if of the samespecies as the target creature) if caught withinthe area of effect. For purposes of this spell,hybrids are considered an individual species,so half-orcs would only attract other half-orcs,not other orcs and/or humans.

The area of effect is stronger near the tar-get creature and therefore has more of achance to attract a being toward the target thanat the outer limits of the sphere. The outer 3 marea of the sphere’s influence will always allowcreatures to save (vs. spells against the attrac-tion normally. But, for every 3 m closer thecreature(s) is penalized by a cumulative -1modifier to its saving throw.

Here are examples of a 1st level, 5th level,and 10th level mage casting this spell:

1st level Mage1st level Mage1st level Mage1st level Mage1st level MageRange:Range:Range:Range:Range: Save:Save:Save:Save:Save:0 m -10 m 0

5th level Mage5th level Mage5th level Mage5th level Mage5th level MageRange:Range:Range:Range:Range: Save:Save:Save:Save:Save:0 m -10 m -420 m -330 m -240 m -150 m 0

10th level Mage10th level Mage10th level Mage10th level Mage10th level MageRange:Range:Range:Range:Range: Save:Save:Save:Save:Save:0 m -10 m -920 m -830 m -740 m -650 m -560 m -470 m -380 m -290 m -1100 m 0

A successful saving throw against the attrac-tion means that the spell is unable to attractthis creature toward the target creature.

Note that the mage may reduce the size ofthe area of effect to less than he is able to af-fect (in 3 m decrements) but the saving throwmodifiers are a product of the size of the areaof effect, not the level of the mage casting thespell. This means that if a 10th level mage re-duces the area of effect to a 3 m sphere itwould only be able to affect creatures within 3m of the target creature and they would receivea normal save, but he will still able to try to at-tract 20 creatures toward the target whereasthe 1st level mage would only be able to attract2. Also, remember that the area of effect isthree dimensional, and can affect creaturesthrough any material that does not shieldagainst magic (e.g., lead). Creatures that arephysically unable to become „stuck“ to thetarget will stick to whatever physical object isblocking their path, such as walls, floors, doors,etc.

If any creatures become „stuck“ to the tar-get creature, it and whatever is stuck to it be-come entangled with each other, effectivelyreducing their normal movement rate to 0.Creatures being drawn toward the target aretotally unable to attack, but may attack from themass with one attack form per round if the at-tack does not require melee combat (e.g.,breath weapon, gaze, etc.). If the combat formrequires physical contact, a „stuck“ creature isonly entitled to attack once per round and onlyif it is first attacked by someone striking at itwhile it is entangled. Attacks on entangledcreatures are at +4 to hit, and the creature(s)are penalized -3 on the return attack. Also,creatures so entangle lose all armour class bo-nuses for dexterity.

The material component of this spell is alodestone of at least 2 GP in weight. It will dis-integrate if the target creature successfully

saves against the spell. Otherwise, it is reus-able, and only need be touched during thecasting to act as a focus for the mage.

Summonedanimals or monsters are similarly hedged fromthe protected being.

- 16 -


Furthermore, any and all attacks launchedby chaotic creatures incur a penalty of -2 fromdice rolls to hit the protected creature, and anysaving throws caused by such attacks aremade at +2 on the protected being’s dice.

This spell can be reversed to become Pro-tection from Law, although it still keeps out en-chanted or summoned chaotic creatures aswell.

While this spell is in effect, any arrows firedfrom the bow (which may not be a crossbow)are +2 to hit a specific target. The caster mustbe able to see the target, and call his shot. The+2 only affects hits on the target, not on some-one or something that gets in the way.

If the target is in melee, the target gets a +2to it’s size rating when the DM determines theodds of hitting the target as opposed to thosearound it. For example, if firing on a size sixgiant who is in melee with a size two elf, therewould normally be a one in three chance to hitthe elf. With target bow in effect, the giant wouldbe raised to size eight, giving only a one in fourchance to hit the elf. Should the arrow go at theelf anyway, it would not get its +2 to hit (sincethe giant is the target).

Note that the arrow fired from the target bowis in no way magical.

The material component is a feather from abird of prey, rubbed against the bow string.❊

Even if the target isengaged in melee, it need only be seen by thewizard in order for the spell to succeed.

The attack of the Skean results in damageof 2 HP + 1d3 HP per level of wizard to a maxi-mum of 9d3 at ninth-level.

Shadows (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 0 or 18 m (see below)Components: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: See belowSaving Throw: None

This spell has three different potential func-tions, the choice of which may be made at thetime of casting:

i. The magic user may cast shadows uponherself or himself, with this covering giving heror him a chance of hiding in shadows as thatfor a thief of equal level. The magic user cantake advantage of (or is penalized by) dexter-ity and racial adjustments. This form of the spellis only shadow enhancing, so an effort muststill be made to hide. It can be cast only on themagic user’s person (a range of 0 for this func-tion), and the magic user must remain still andconcentrate faintly to maintain the shadows.This can only be of use where shadows alreadyexist. If the caster is also a thief, this spell canbe used to either give the chance of hiding asdescribed above or add a 2% per level (magicuser’s level) to the character’s normal thiefchances of hiding in shadows.

ii. This version causes a number of shadowyforms to dart about up to 18 m distant in a 6 msquare area, until the spell expires. This couldbe most distracting, for it appears as thoughthere are humanoid and possibly animal formsmoving about. These shadows cannot exist insunlight or a continual light, but could still beseen jumping between areas of cover.

iii. This version creates the illusion of anumber of humanoid forms, appearing exactlyas the undead shadow. Up to 1 form per levelcan be made, appearing in a 3 m + 0.3 m perlevel square area. The magic user has controlover each form’s actions. While they may looklike shadows, they are completely powerless(with the exception, perhaps, of causing fearor uncertainty - a normal reaction for one con-fronted with this situation). The magic usermust maintain concentration, and even thenthe maximum duration of 3 rounds per level stillapplies. If she or he breaks concentration, theshadows will last 1-2 rounds longer before fad-ing away.❊

A saving throw vs. spells is not givenuntil the creature actually begins to consumethe affected meal, and this is made at -4 un-less a close examination of the food is made.If failed, the diner will believe the illusion to bereal, and will have no cause for alarm. If thesave is successful, the creature will see themeal’s true form, and will be aware of the pres-ence of an illusion.

If a complete illusionary meal is consumed,a victim will believe that his hunger and/or thirsthas been satiated, but only for as long as thespell duration. A saving throw is allowed, be-ing the same as that of the former applicationof the spell.

The spell requires the magic user to sprin-kle a pinch of gold dust over the food (or air)where the illusion is to be created.❊

Aerate (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn (+1/level) see belowCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 1 creature/levelSaving Throw: NegatesSpecialist/School: Elementalist, Altera-tion, Abjuration

This spell will cause the victim to change intoa small cloud which will descend into a groundcovering mist. The intended victim must betouched by the caster. The caster can touchone victim per round up to the maximumnumber affected for his level. The intended vic-tim is allowed a saving throw vs polymorph tonegate. The spell causes no pain, discomfortor actual damage, however a system shock rollmust be made (with a +5 bonus) or the crea-ture will remain a mist forever. The natural du-ration of the spell is listed above. The spell canbe cancelled by the caster, a Dispel Magic froma mage of equal or higher level to the caster,or the caster may set a specific duration at thetime of casting. This last option is particularlyuseful if the mage casts the spell on himself.When the spell expires or is cancelled, the vic-tim will be restored. The mist can be dispersedover an area of 9 m² per level of the caster andthe victim will still be restored successfully. Thisis the most dangerous of the four elementalpolymorph spells for if the mist is dispersedmore than this, the victim cannot be restoreduntil all the mist is brought within these limits.The mist tends to spread rapidly if not con-tained within a sealed room for example.

The material component of this spell is aburning twig or incense.❊

Acid Water (Alteration)

Ahrvar’s Instant Offensiveness (En-chantment/Charm)

Range: 120 mComponents: V, SDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One personSaving Throw: Negates

This spell effects any single intelligent beingit is cast upon. By intelligent being, it is meantany creature with a rudimentary form of spo-ken language. This includes humans, demi-humans, humanoids, intelligent monsters, etc.

The victim receives a saving throw vs. spellto avoid the effect, with the appropriate adjust-ments due to Wisdom. If the victim fails hissave, the victim’s speech immediately be-comes offensive to all who can understand thelanguage the victim is using. The victim, how-ever, only hears what he thinks he is saying,and may become extremely curious as to whyeverybody is mad at him. The words of the vic-tim become so offensive, in fact, they act as alow-power Taunt spell, with those hearing andcomprehending the victim’s speech making a

save vs. magic at +4, or else be consumed witha mindless desire to bash the victim’s head in.Each person within hearing of the victim willhear whatever would be considered most of-fensive by them. The caster is the only one ableto hear what is actually spoken by the victim,and is thereby immune to the taunt effect.

The components of this spell are the com-mand word, and a subtle pointing motion bythe caster, at the target.❊

Ahshay’s Mystic Mutable Aura (Illu-sion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One object or personSaving Throw: Special

This spell creates a magic aura around anobject similar to the one from Nystul’s MagicAura. However, it hides not the magic property,but the alignment of the target. The caster canspecify which alignment he wants the objectto radiate as well as the strength of the radia-tion. The higher the level of the caster the moreradical alignment he could place on the objector person. Note that this aura does not changethe alignment (if present) of a person or object.

This spell foils such spells as Detect Good/Evil, a paladins Detect Evil ability and the spellKnow Alignment. It does not change the effectof the Protection from Good/Evil spells. Notethat the priest version of True Seeing or a Gemof True Seeing will see through this spell. If theobject or person acts in a different way than isindicated by the aura, other people will get adisbelieve check. A mage with the true sightspell will now get a true reading off a detect evil.

The material component of this spell is asheet of thin silk in an appropriate colour to thealignment being cast. It is consumedcompletely.❊

Alpha’s Moonlight (Evocation)

Range: 5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: 3 m/level radiusSaving Throw: None

This spell creates an area of soft blue-greylight, apparently coming downwards fromabove. This light effectively washes out all col-our, but clear vision is certainly possible withinthe area of effect. Vision is also possible out to10 m beyond the spell’s radius, but such visionis dim and shadowy at best. The moonlightdoes not interfere in any way with infravision,but the nature of the light is such that creaturesadversely affected by bright light suffer onlyhalf the normal penalties when within theMoonlight and none when within its shadowyfringes. The Moonlight spell may be centred onthe caster, in which case it moves with him.Otherwise, the spell must be cast on an areaand is stationary.

Alpha’s Rainbow Beam (Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell draws upon the power of theQuasi-Elemental Plane of Radiance and bringsforth a beam of pure light. The colour of thelight making up the beam is normally randomlydetermined by a roll of a d8. However, thecaster has a chance equal to 5% per level ofbeing able to select the colour of the beam (thecaster may not select a multi-hued beam. Suchoccurs only as the result of an aberration in themagic). The colours of the beams are as fol-lows:

1d81d81d81d81d8 Colour of beam:Colour of beam:Colour of beam:Colour of beam:Colour of beam:

1 red (cold)2 orange (heat)3 yellow (acid)4 green (poison)5 blue (electrical)6 indigo (holy water)7 violet (force)8 multi-hued beam - roll twice ig-

noring 8’s

The beam does a base of 2d6, plus an ad-ditional point of damage for each level of thecaster (e.g. a 7th level caster would inflict 9-19(2d6+7) points of damage). Any creature re-sistant to the attack form indicated by the col-our of the beam takes NO damage, while acreature vulnerable to the specific attack form(such as heat vs. a yeti) will suffer double dam-age. A saving throw indicates that the beamhas missed and the intended victim is unaf-fected. Note that the beam may hit a targetother than the one intended. Once the beamhits a solid object, it stops, even if that objectis transparent. Any creature suffering damagefrom the spell must make item saving throwsif appropriate.

The material component of the spell is asmall clear gem or crystal prism worth at least50 GP.❊

Alpha’s Spark Shower (Evocation)

Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 roundCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: 1,5 x 6 m long x 3 m basewedge shapeSaving Throw: 1/2

levels of the caster, rounded up, to a maximumof 5d4. Those wielding metal weapons (swords,etc.) or wearing partially metal armour (ring,scale, chain) save at -2 and suffer +1 point ofdamage per die. Those wearing full metal ar-mour (splint, banded, plate, etc.) save at -4 andsuffer double damage.

The material component is a bit of fur, glass,and copper.❊

Alpha’s Star Gaze (Evocation)

Range: 60 mComponents: VDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creature/2 levelsSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes a blazing white sheet oflight to issue from the caster’s eyes. This sheetwill envelop a number of creatures based onthe caster’s level. Those who fail a save vs. pet-rification will be blinded for a full turn. Thosewho do save are merely dazzled (-2 on to hitand AC) for 1 round, having looked away justin time. Dark dependent creatures such asdrow and gray dwarves save at a -4 vs. thisspell, and the duration of its effects aredoubled.❊

Alpha’s Starblades (Conjuration)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/2 levelsCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creature/3 levelsmaximumSaving Throw: None

This spell creates one magical star-shapedbladed weapon for each three levels of thecaster, up to a maximum of seven. The castermay then throw these as weapons, out to thespell’s maximum range. They are treated asSlashing weapons with respect to effective-ness vs. armour, and the caster’s to hit rolls withthem are at +3, in addition to any bonus forhigh dexterity. Each Starblade that strikescauses 2d4 damage, +2 vs. creatures withpowers drawing on the negative material planeor plane of shadow.

The material component is a small silverstar.❊

Ambient Light (Alteration)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: 12 m radius globeSaving Throw: None

This spell is in many ways similar to the firstlevel spell Light (q.v.). With an Ambient Lightspell, while there is a centre for its sphere ofeffect, there is no point of light at this centre -

the intensity of the light is consistent through-out the entire globe. The light is even behindobjects or walls, in a closed chest, in fact, eve-rywhere in the area of effect. Therefore, abso-lutely no shadows exist. The spell has anumber of interesting effects because of this;for example, if cast in a hallway, the light wouldextend through a door or wall into an adjacentroom (or even into secret tunnels below thehall) up to the full area of effect. Just beyondthe 12 m radius globe, reflected light from theactual area of affect lights up 4 m further. Thisis much dimmer than the globe, is very shad-owy (if there is something to cast one), andfades off into complete darkness (assuming,of course, the area would be dark without thisspell). One obvious advantage of the spell isto make hiding in shadows impossible withinthe area of effect.❊

Annoyance (Illusion)

Range: 1.5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This is a more powerful version of the firstlevel spell Minor Annoyance (q.v.), in that itcreates the illusion of a bumblebee flying intothe victim’s ear. The victim only gets one sav-ing throw; if successful, the annoyance lasts foronly one round. The spell’s effects start at thebeginning of the next round, just like MinorAnnoyance.

The material component of this spell is adead insect. If an actual dead bumblebee isused, the victim’s saving throw is made at -2.❊

Anvil Fall (Alteration)

Author: Thom Watson

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: VDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

When this spell is cast, the creature(s) orobject(s) affected immediately assume themass of solid lead. A falling or flying object orcreature affected starts to plummet, and dam-age taken from falling is doubled, i.e., 2d6 per3 m fallen, to a maximum of 20d6 from a heightof 30 m. The Anvil Fall affects one or moreobjects or creatures in a 3 m cube, as long asthe maximum original weight of the creaturesor objects does not exceed a combined totalof 200 pounds plus 200 pounds per level of thewizard.

A Feather Fall cast upon a creature or ob-ject under the influence of an Anvil Fall will onlynegate the latter, and the creature then re-ceives only normal falling damage. An addi-tional Feather Fall would then be needed to

- 21 -


achieve the normal effect of that spell, and twosuch spells could probably not be cast in timeby a single wizard.

Like a Feather Fall, an Anvil Fall works onlyupon free-falling, flying, or propelled objects,and cannot affect a sword blow or a chargingcreature.❊

Azalldam’s Fabricated Boat (Conju-ration/Summoning)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to Azalldam’s FabricatedBridge except it shapes a boat from the con-jured shadows instead of a bridge. The castermay create a boat of 4,5 m² per level (up to amaximum of 90 m²). The boat will support 100pounds per level of the caster; any additionalweight will cause the boat to capsize. The spellwill last 1 turn for each level of the caster, or untilthe caster ends it.

Similar to the Fabricated Bridge spell, theboat may not be disbelieved, but may be dis-pelled.

The material component for this spell is asmall wooden carving of a boat; this carvingis not consumed when the spell is cast.❊

Bigby’s Tickling Fingers (Evocation)

Range: 1 m + 1 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

When cast, this spell creates a pair of dis-embodied hands which proceed to tickle avictim of the wizard’s choosing. Each round, thevictim must save vs. spells or suffer a -4 pen-alty to all rolls. If the save is failed, the victimmay cast no spells that round. The wizard mayselect a new victim each round. If the wizard’sconcentration is broken while the spell is ineffect, the spell is terminated.

The hands cannot be physically attacked,only Dispel Magic type attacks or breaking thewizard’s concentration will destroy the hands.

The material component is a pair of glovesand a feather.❊

Byen’s Arrow (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 6 turns/levelCasting Time: 1 round/arrowArea of Effect: One arrow/2 levelsSaving Throw: None

Several decades past, Byen, the famed as-sassin/illusionist of the City of Yorkad, createdthis spell so as to be able to execute certain

„assassinations“ which would seem com-pletely real but in which the victim would (hope-fully) not be killed. Byen’s Arrow creates a verypowerful illusion that is modelled exactly afteran actual arrow. The caster must take a realarrow, of fine quality, and spend one entireround chanting and weaving her or his handsalong the edge of the arrow. To complete thecasting, the caster must prick her or his fingerwith a splinter of wood and smear it upon thearrowhead. The arrow is then actually replacedby an illusion, that has full visual, audible, tac-tile, thermal, and olfactory components. Anattempt to disbelieve can be made, but thesave is made a -2 DM (or +2 if informed of theillusion); however, in most circumstances, therewill be no reason to suspect anything is amiss.The magic user can „enchant“ up to 1 arrowfor every two levels she or he possesses, eacharrow taking one round of preparation.

The arrows must be shot in a normal man-ner (i.e. the magic user must have someone ofa class able to make use make use of a bowto shoot them). Such a user will in no way sus-pect that the arrows are illusionary from just ex-amining them. If these arrows hit a target, theillusion continues so that the target will bleedillusionary blood, an will feel illusionary pain.Unless the victim for some reason attemptedto disbelieve and this attempt was successful,the victim will take the full 1-6 damage from thearrow, plus any applicable bonuses forstrength, specialisation, a magic bow, etc. Only25% of this damage is actual, but even afterthe illusion fades (which happens in 5 rounds+ 1 round per level after being hit) the victimwill still suffer form shock and a loss in confi-dence and composure. Hit points lost becauseof these arrows that were not part of actualdamage will be recovered at a rate of 1 HP perround of rest or 1 HP per turn of even mild ac-tivity, but not at all for strenuous activity. Crea-tures brought below zero HP because of thisillusionary damage will be unconscious andmust make a system shock survival roll of elsedie of shock, losing 1 HP per round until reach-ing -10, unless they receive aid. Even creaturesthat can be hit by only by silver, iron or magi-cal weapons will suffer from all the above ef-fects unless they have some special resistanceto illusions (or have reason to be suspiciousand disbelieve).

Note that Byen’s Arrow will work on light andheavy quarrels of high quality as well as onarrows.

The material component for this spell is anarrow or quarrel of fine quality (s.a.).❊

Carrion’s Foul Stench (Evocation)

Range: 30 mComponents: S, MDuration: 1 round/level above firstCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 6 m cubeSaving Throw: Negates

This spell in many respects duplicates theeffects of the second-level spell Stinking Cloud.Except where noted, this spell duplicates theeffects of Stinking Cloud.

It has a slightly longer casting time and aduration which is shorter by one round, but ithas the advantage of lacking a verbal compo-nent: the material components are waved inthe air and the spell’s gestures made, but oth-erwise the spell is utterly silent.

It produces a thin grey cloud of vapourwhich reeks of rotting flesh and the odours ofthe tomb.

The material component for this spell is a bitof zombie or ghoul flesh or a small strip ofcarrion crawler hide.

If ghast flesh is substituted saves versus thisspell will be at -1.❊

Cause of Death (Divination, Necro-mancy)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One corpseSaving Throw: None

With this spell the forensic wizard can de-termine if the corpse has received damagefrom any of the causes listed in the table be-low, and which cause actually reduced him tozero hit points. This spell involves dissection ofthe corpse, and the material components area magnifying glass and a set of scalpels. Theseare not expended by the casting.

The spell “heals”1d4 points of damage plus an additional pointfor every three levels of the wizard, this curingis in-fact illusionary and only lasts for the du-ration of the spell. Note where the recipient ofthis spell has suffered illusionary damage thenthe hit points recovered are permanent (i.e.,equivalent to priestly cure spells).

Cheffield’s Major Feast (Alteration)

Range: 30 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 5 roundsArea of Effect: 4 people fed/levelSaving Throw: None

When this spell is cast into a large pot oronto an appropriate number of plates it bringsinto being enough food to feed four per levelof the caster for one meal. The food is nourish-ing and filling, the drink is cool and refreshing.The food may not taste the best in the worldbut it certainly fills the cracks. It also makes,when chilled and rewarmed, exceptional lefto-vers.

This spell requires a handful of rice which iscooked over a low boil while the caster mut-ters „cooks in just 5 minutes.“

The spell was created by a magic userwhose abilities as a chef far surpassed thoseof his spell casting. He is known far and wideas a chef of great skill.❊

Circle of Power (Evocation)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: Special

Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This powerful spell allows a group of magesto work in conjunction to create a special areaof effect (the circle) into which one mage (orpossibly two) may enter and have their work-ing level of experience increased. A minimumof four mages is required to initiate the spell,and the spell must be cast by the mages of thecircle, not read or used from any device.

First, the mages form a circle and begincasting the spell. The spells from each magemust then synchronize into a rhythmic chant-ing effect. This means that it will take as manyrounds as the highest level member of the cir-cle to make the circle synchronize and becomeoperative. From that point on, a mage mayenter the circle and have his working level ofexperience increased by the total combinedlevels of the circle spellcasters minus one levelfor each member of the circle. Once entered,the central mage may rest and study as ahigher level mage, but may not use new spelllevels, just the higher memorisation capabili-ties, spell range, duration increases, etc. If thetotal number of levels bestowed reaches 20,another mage may step into the circle and di-vide the increased level benefits between him-self and the first mage with all odd remaininglevels becoming useless and therefore ig-nored.

Any members of the circle who are injuredimmediately fall away from the circle’s synchro-nisation and the central mage(s) lose(s) thebenefits of that member’s levels one turn later.New mages may join into the circle at any time(taking an equal number of rounds as theirexperience level to synchronize with the circle),though, and since the effects of being in a cir-cle will not wear off for one full turn other cir-cles may be formed which the mage may en-ter to retain his current working level (or in-crease of decrease it according to the levelsof the new circle).

Members of the circle may chant (from thesynchronisation point) for a period of turnsequal to the combination of their intelligenceand constitution scores divided by two andthen added to their current experience level.The circle members (but not the centralmages) gain a magic resistance to any attacksagainst the circle which would silence the spellequal to the total experience levels of the cir-cle members.

Range: 9 mComponents: S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One metal coinSaving Throw: None

Coin Toss gives an electrical charge to asingle metallic coin, which is then thrown at thetarget. The casting of the spell appears to berather innocuous, but a bit theatrical (i.e., tak-ing approximately 10 seconds to take a coinout of a purse). Only a wizard who has thisspell, someone actively using the spellcraftproficiency (and states it), or someone whohas fallen victim to this spell before will recog-nize that Coin Toss is being cast. Upon com-pleting the spell, the wizard throws the coin atthe intended victim, requiring an attack roll.Treat metal armour as AC 10, but allow for anymagical or Dexterity bonuses. If the victim isactively trying to catch the coin, consider it anautomatic hit (“Take my last gold piece, thief!”).If the attack is successful, the victim takes 1point of damage per wizard level (up to amaximum of 16 HP). If the coin is gold or an-other good conductor, add 1 to the damage roll.If the victim is wearing metal armour, add 1d4to the damage roll.

While this spell is in effect, any creature whotouches the caster with exposed flesh (to casta spell, for example) will suffer 1d8 points ofdamage.

Death’s Dark Grasp (Conjuration/Summoning, Necromancy)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell is a variant of Maximillian’s EarthenGrasp from the Tome of Magic. Except wherenoted, this spell duplicates the effects ofMaximillian’s Earthen Grasp.

When this spell is cast, rather than produc-ing an earthen hand, this spell causes manyundead arms to spring from the ground under-neath the target’s feet. If the target’s save issuccessful, then the arms sink into the earthand the spell progresses as per the spell de-scription. If the target fails his save, undeadforms resembling zombies burst up from theground, lashing out at the target to grasp andhold him with unyielding strength.

The armour class of the arms or creaturesis 6 (as opposed to the AC 5 in Maximillian’sEarthen Grasp). The hit points of the undeadforms created are equal to twice the wizard’snormal hit points up to a maximum of 40 HP.The undead forms created are unturnable, andat the end of the spell’s duration will sink downinto the earth from whence they came.

If this spell is cast in a graveyard, the soil ofthe graveyard will be more likely to produce theundead forms in a quick, unexpected manner.Thus saves vs. this spell would be at -1 and thechance that the undead hands or forms reap-pear under the target’s feet after a successfulsave throw is 10% per level of the wizard ratherthan 5% per level which is the usual chancefor this occurrence if cast in otherenvironments.❊

Furthermore, if thecaster has means to attack such creatures, hewill have none of the ill effects that normally oc-cur when trying to attack (i.e. the caster wouldknow the exact location of a displacer beast,or where the phase spider is etc.). The infor-mation cannot be communicated to his fellowsby words.

The material component of this spell re-quires a lens of calcite crystal which must beviewed through for the spell to have effect. Itdoes not disappear at the end of the spell.

If the target has recently been in a situationwhere contracting a disease is quite likely(such as living in filthy surroundings, falling intosewage or garbage heaps, attacks from giantrats or othyugs, etc.), a saving throw is madeat a penalty of -4; on the other hand, if a char-acter has recently had a Cure Disease castupon herself or himself, is immune to normaldiseases, or has some other strong reason tobelieve that she or he could not possibly havecontracted a disease, then a saving throw at+4 or higher (probably +8 if normally immune)is allowed.

It isespecially effective for disposing of garbage,kitchen waste, body wastes, etc., and may beused in the garderobe of an area otherwisedevoid of plumbing. Magical and living items(of at least animal Intelligence; normal insectsand non-sentient plant life are therefore notconsidered “living” for this purpose) receive asaving throw to resist the teleportation.

Frostfire (Alteration)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 2 turns/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

Through the use of the frostfire spell, thewizard is able to change the normally hot ra-diance of fires to a cold radiance.

If fireunder the effect of a forstfire spell goes out, theeffects of the spell cease immediately.

As a last option, this spell may be cast uponfire-dwelling or fire-using creature such as anefreet, fire elemental, etc. The being is alloweda saving throw; success indicates that the spellhas no effect, but a failed saving throw causesthe victim to suffer 2d4 hp of damage. Only onecreature can be affected by this use of thespell.

Garithrall’s Hideous Leech (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

Range: 150 yardsComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This is a variant of Melf’s Acid Arrow. Unlessotherwise noted this spell mimics many of theproperties of Melf’s Acid Arrow.

When this spell is cast, a small black spherea few inches across appears in the wizard’shand. The wizard then proceeds to hurl thissphere at the target of the spell. If it does notstrike the target or is not thrown immediatelyafter its creation the sphere fades into nothing-ness.

If it hits successfully, on the spot which thesphere struck appears a huge, black, shinyleech-like creature which bites into the targetand begins to drink the target’s blood. Thisleech can even bite into creatures hit only by+1 or better magical weapons. The creaturecannot be removed by anything short of aDispel Magic or the wizard’s own hand until ithas had its fill of the target’s blood and is sated,at which time the creature falls to the ground.The number of rounds this takes and the dam-age inflicted due to the blood drain are as perMelf’s Acid Arrow. The creature’s bite carries ananesthesia which makes the target obliviousto its presence if it is struck by suprise. Thetarget will, however, notice that it is growingprogressively weaker and may make a Wisdomcheck every round to spot the creature.

As previously mentioned, when the creatureis sated (or if the wizard removes it before thisoccurs), it will fall from its target where it maybe collected later by the wizard. The creaturewill survive for up to one hour after being re-moved from the target during which time it re-tains its immunity to all attacks save DispelMagic and the wizard’s hand. After one hour itwill dissolve into a small puddle of blood. Be-fore the end of this hour, the wizard may forcethe leech to dissolve itself at any time or alter-nately bleed it slowly if he has a dagger or simi-lar weapon on hand (again, only a weaponwielded by the wizard will be effective againstthis creature). The blood may be collected inwhatever receptacle the wizard has availablefor later use in poisons, potions, other spells,sympathetic magicks, etc.

If the target of the leech is not a creature offlesh and blood that would be harmed by theleech’s blood drain, then the bite of the leechwill inflict only 1d4 points of damage before theleech falls off the target. Although it should beobvious, it is worthy of note that this spell doesnot damage the target’s items as it does notshower the target in acid as does Melf’s AcidArrow. Also note the shorter range of this spell.

The material component for this spell is aleech which has fed upon the wizard’s ownblood and has afterwards been lanced with ahot needle and killed.❊

This spell is similar in nature to Change Self(q.v.), but allows the magic user to assume theform of a specific creature.

The chance of detection should be rolledupon initial contact, once for every three turnsof exposure or one turn of direct conversation,and once for an attempt to determine authen-ticity. The spell may not be immediately recog-nized as an illusion, even if a fault is detected,for it could be seen as a disguise or a physi-cal change (as with a doppleganger). Notethat strong physical contact could reveal thespell, as the illusion is only visual. Also, unlessa Voice spell is also used, observers couldbecome very suspicious. The size of the altera-tion can be 50% of actual. Note that thechange is entirely illusionary (unlike Alter Self)— no actual physical properties are gainedwhatsoever and special abilities (gaze attacks,horror effects, etc.) cannot be reproduced soas to have these special effects.❊

Improved Find Familiar (Summon-ing)Reversible

Range: 1 mile/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 up to 24 hoursArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell attracts a familiar to act for thewizard. The wizard may attract a familiar of upto 1/2 his hit dice. The wizard may specify thetype of creature preferred but not the specificcreature. Hence they can specify “a cat” butnot specify “Mrs. Pike’s Ginger Tom”.

Furthermore, the wizard gains the ability tocommunicate mentally with his familiar and touse the senses of the familiar while this is be-ing concentrated on. Hence they can “see”through their familiar’s eyes, “listen” with itsears, etc. No other actions are possible duringthis concentration. The range for this commu-nication is 5 miles per level of the wizard.

The wizard gains the hit points of the famil-iar when it is within four metres, and on itsdeath (if not “Released” beforehand), will per-

manently lose double the amount of these hitpoints (regardless of the distance to the famil-iar). If a familiar is in range, it must be of thesame alignment as the wizard and will thenwillingly serve its master or mistress as long asit does not involve a threat to its life and as longas suitable rewards are given to the familiar atregular intervals (mice for cats, treasure orsouls for more powerful creatures). Failure toprovide such suitable rewards allows the famil-iar an additional save vs. magic (at +1 for eachtime rewards have been ignored).

The DM determines the likelihood of thepreferred creature being within range and de-termines all results including the type, size, hitdice and abilities of the attracted familiar. Therange of the spell is one mile per level of thewizard.

The material components of this spell in-clude feathers, fur or skin etc of the creaturepreferred and a total of 100 GP worth of in-cense and herbs per hit die of the summonedfamiliar. The familiar so attracted receives asaving throw vs. magic to ignore the summons.The spell may be attempted only once every6 months.

This spell is a specialized version of the“Charm Person or Mammal” spell, and reward-ing the familiar gives a strong chance of anindividual offering his services to e.g. a wizardor dragon for quite a period. Both stand tobenefit from the co-existence.

By introducing this spell to a campaign,familiars should be more common to all wiz-ards including dragons, drow, etc. It would bequite beneficial for a dragon to have a humanfamiliar. The familiar is able to arrange deliveryof suitable bribes, slaves, information, treasureor whatever else the dragon would require. Itcan always be useful to have such a spy in anenemy camp. On the same basis, it also meansthat a powerful witch is able to have a troll ordoppleganger act as her familiar for severalyears. In return, the familiar gains treasure,knowledge or power or just food and security.

The reverse of this spell, Release Familiar,has a range of 0, since the wizard must be ableto touch his familiar to release it. This versionof the spell has no material components andis permanent. Its casting time is 0, and thefamiliar is not entitled to a saving throw.❊

Object thrown, dropped, or knocked over bythe recipient will not be silenced by the spell,as they are not in contact with the inaudiblecreature.

If the ash is dispersedmore than this, the victim cannot be restoreduntil all the ash is brought within these limits.

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: 3 rounds/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to the first level magicuser spell Minor Mimicry (q.v.). However, thespell continues even after a form is dispelledby movement, and once the spell recipientagain becomes stationary, she or he can beconcealed by a new form (again chosen by themagic user).

Power Word, Awaken (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 1d3 feet + 5 feet/levelComponents: VDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell was designed as a counter-spellto the first-level Sleep spell. A DM which whomI played ruled that the Sleep spell’s targets hadto be kicked or somehow given at least a pointof damage to be woken from the slumber.

The wizard must pick a living creature withinthe area of effect (see below) for the spell.When the Power Word is spoken, that target willbe subject to the effects of the Power Word aslisted below. In addition, twice the wizard’s levelof hit dice of creatures within 1d3 feet + 5 feetper level, will also be affected, starting with theclosest creature. These creatures may be ei-ther asleep or awake, since the spell’s effectsare not limited to sleeping creatures.

The spell causes an effect like a suddenrush of adrenaline to the creatures.

If the creatures are asleep, either magicallyor normally, the Power Word will wake themfrom their slumber. The sleeping creatures willbe up and ready for action half a round later.There is no save, and the creatures will awakeneven if they wish to remain asleep. Note thatthis completely ruins a wizard’s or priest’s rest-ing, forcing them to begin again. They havenormal to hit ratios and armour class. Sleep-ing creatures have no indication of why theywake up, their unconscious mind just receivesthe Word and wakes them.

If the creatures are awake, they automati-cally gain initiative for the round, as well as a+1 to hit and a bonus -1 AC for that round. Anycreature performing an action that requires ex-treme concentration (such as casting a spell,scaling a wall, picking a lock, etc.) must savevs. spell or automatically fail the action. Like-wise, affected creatures attempting missile firemust save vs. spell. Failure indicates the shotwill miss, success means they must roll with a

-1 to hit. The awoke creatures will know the gen-eral location of the wizard, since they heard thePower Word consciously.

This spell is not effective within a magicalSilence, nor will Vocalize make the spell cast-able. Since this spell does not cause damage,it will not disrupt an Invisibility spell.❊

Also notethat protection extends only to actual charmspells, such as charm person or charm mon-ster, not to enchantment/charm spells as aclass.

The material component is a lapis lazuli ormore potent stone.❊

Refresh (Alteration)Reversible

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day + 1 day/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One person or creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell has an initial effect exactly like thatof the first-level spell Clean (q.v.). In addition,Refresh keeps the recipient in that condition forthe full duration of the spell. Thus, any dirt orodour would simply not find a hold upon theperson. One could survive downpours of rain,wading through mud, and walk through a sandstorm with one’s clothes clean, skin fragrant,and hair in place (after a pass of the comb ortwo).

The spell also prevents the recipient fromcontracting any of the common nonmagicalcontagious diseases, keeps wounds from in-fecting, and blocks the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

The reverse of the spell, Dirty, has all theeffects one would expect: attract dirt and filth,etc.

The spell components are a piece of soap,a small sheet of silk, and a fairly freshly pluckedrose or similar flower.❊

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One itemSaving Throw: None

The caster of this spell receives a mentalimpression of the most recent owner or own-ers of the recipient object. An „owner“ is de-fined as an intelligent entity who was in directphysical contact (i.e., no gloves) with the ob-ject one hour, or who had the object upon hisperson for 24 hours. These time requirementsmay be divided by the caster’s level, and forevery 4 levels of the caster, one previous ownercan be identified. Thus an eighth level wizard,for example, could determine the last two own-ers who carried the object for at least 3 hourseach.

The information gained is sufficient that thewizard will recognize the owner on sight, andhe can uniquely specify the owner for the pur-pose of such spells as legend lore.

The material component of this spell is ahandful of dust.❊

Runetrue (Invocation, Abjuration)

Sanh’s Improved Ray of Light (Evo-cation)


This spell is a more powerful version ofSanh’s Ray of Light. If a save vs. Magic is failed,the victim suffers 1d4 points of damage perlevel of the wizard. A fumbled save results inthe victim being permanently blinded in oneeye and dazzled for 2d6 rounds (-2 on all rolls).

As per the first-level version, Sanh’s im-proved ray of light is basically a laser beam.The colour is chosen by the wizard, butmultichromatic light, such as sunlight, cannotbe duplicated. Since the beam itself is notmagical, magic resistance has no effectagainst this spell.❊

Sarius’ Golden Squares of Protec-tion (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One floating 0.6 m longsquare plate/levelSaving Throw: None

This spell creates golden, shimmeringsquare plates of force which move around thecaster in a constant motion, attempting to de-flect missile, hand, or weapon attacks directedat the caster. The AC of the mage is not alteredby the spell, but any successful physical attack(less boulders, ballista, or attacks similar to adragon’s belly flop manoeuvre) will be de-

flected if the mage successfully saves versusbreath weapons. Non-missile attacks by crea-tures with an effective strength of 19 or greaterrequire a saving throw versus spells to deflect.

Each plate is able to sustain 4 hit points ofdamage before disrupting, so if a deflectedattack does not cause enough damage to dis-rupt a square (chosen randomly) the squarewill remain active. For every 5 squares active,the effects of breath weapons directed at thecaster will be reduced by 1 hit point per dam-age die, with 1 hit point damage per die beingthe maximum reduction allowable. Though, un-less the breath weapon causes less damagethan the current hit points of a square it will as-suredly disrupt the entire field of squares in theprocess.

While the squares orbit the mage he is at a-1 to hit penalty for every square active when-ever a to hit roll is needed, including spells. Themage may create fewer squares than the maxi-mum possible.

The material component(s) of this spell is asingle gold piece for every square created. Allpieces are thrown into the air where they dis-appear and are replaced by the floatingsquares.

The source of this spell is Sarius Mendle-kine.❊

Secret Light (Alteration)Reversible

Range: 60 mComponents: V, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 6 m-radius globeSaving Throw: Special

This spell is in all respects the same as thefirst-level spell Light, except that only the wiz-ard can see the light. This of course means thatit can in no way be used as an attack (blind-ing people, harming certain undead, etc.). It willcancel magical darkness, as it will be can-celled by magical darkness, just like Light.

The material components are the same asfor Light plus two drops of blood and a tearfrom the wizard.

The spell can be reversed to Secret Dark-ness, although this normally isn’t very useful.Perhaps if in presence of a blinding light youcould cast Secret Darkness at the light source,so that you wouldn’t be blinded. Of course,you’d better have another source of illumina-tion handy. Also, it wouldn’t save a vampire fromthe effects of direct sunlight - the light is stillhitting his body, he just can’t see it.❊

Secret Torch (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 6 turnsCasting Time: 1 round/torchArea of effect: One torch/2 levelsSaving Throw: None

This spell lights one or more ordinarytorches. The flames will, however, be cold anddark, shedding no ordinary light. The wielderof the torch will however be able to see by thetorch, as if it was an ordinary torch, as long ashe has it in his hand. Only one person can ben-efit from the torch at a given time: if two or morepersons touch it, no-one will benefit. Thewielder must hold it in his bare hand if he wantsto see by it, and the flames will seem warm tohim. The torch can be put aside or handedover, as an ordinary torch would be, but can notset fire to anything. It can be extinguished byany normal means, e.g. water or very strongwinds. The torch will slowly smoulder and burnout, as an ordinary torch would.

The material components are the torch(es)to be lit, and a small portion of oil with rareherbs, which the torches are rubbed with (3GP’s worth per torch). In addition, the spell-caster must have access to a source of fire.❊

The roll is modified by adding the victim’sWisdom and level and subtracting the wizard’sapparent Comeliness and enchantment level.The spell is effective until dispelled.

Any object that re-quires great force to move or open will not al-low for this silent action.

Environmental factors will not normally affectthe subject’s ability to move silently, and thussqueaky doors, floors, water, and mud offer noresistance: squeaky doors will not squeakwhen opened by the subject of the spell,squeaky floors will not give enough to creakunder the subject’s weight (although unsoundflooring will, of course, not remain silent if thefloor cannot support the subject at all andbreaks out from underneath him), water will notsplash with the subject’s passing, and mud willnot slosh. Traps or other items which react in anoisy manner by snapping shut violently or tripwires strung with bells must be avoided nor-mally as they will hinder the subject’s passageand make noise as usual.

Any sudden action on the subject’s part willmake the expected amount of noise, but cau-tious, slow actions will make no sound at all.This spell does not actually mask sounds thatthe subject intends on making, and thusspeech, spell casting, and forcefully openeddoors will all be heard normally. The subject ofthis spell may, of course, alternate betweenmaking noise and moving unheard for thespell’s duration.

Note that this spell is not an illusion, andactually alters the amount of sound a creaturemakes when interacting with its environment.

The material component for this spell is a bitof zombie flesh.❊

The knot is usually quite intricate,and can be extremely difficult to untie by hand.It can be used to join two ends of rope together.Given enough raw material, it could even beused to weave 0.1 m² per level of the wizard ofcloth or tapestry.

The caster of the spell can command theknot to untie at any time, and also to retie it-self. All other creatures cannot untie the lock,although they may be able to cut or break thestring or rope the knot is on. This effect is per-manent, and the knot will detect as magical. Inthe case of cloth or tapestry made from thisspell, it will not unravel. However, it may be torn,ripped, or cut.

Wings (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 rounds + 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 3 rounds to cast, 3 morefor wings to growArea Of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

By this spell, the caster creates „wings“ toappear out of the effected creature’s back.

Wound Closure (Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: None

This spell closes the wounds of the recipi-ent to prevent bleeding and infection, inciden-tally curing 1-4 hit points of damage. All of thevictim’s wounds will be closed by a single cast-ing, but further application is possible to in-crease the healing effect. The spell can beused on corpses to disguise the cause ofdeath, but it does not work on non-corporealor extraplanar entities.

Note: A recent posting suggested thatmages be able to cast healing spells using 1d6instead of 1d8. I believe the above spell de-scription shows my opposition to that ap-proach (see also DMGv2 p. 43), unless youintend to do away with clerics as a PC class.From a game mechanics standpoint, such anapproach would destroy the balance betweenpriest and mage, but there is a campaign back-ground reason as well: Pseudo-medieval medi-cal knowledge would be atrocious. Clericalhealing is a gift from God or the gods, relativelyomniscient and omnipotent fellows, but magi-cal curing would depend upon the mage’sunderstanding of the body and its functions.Thus you might find a wizard who can pull theedges of a wound back together, as describedabove, but you could not find one who couldstimulate the replication of tissue of variousinjured organs, insure an increased blood sup-ply to the affected regions, metabolize fat andincrease respiration to enrich said blood, etc.You certainly could not find a mage to curediseases before any microbes arediscovered.❊

Zhaida’s Instant Stoneskin Re-mover (Conjuration, Evocation)

No modifiers for range,magical protection or Dexterity are applicable.Each pebble will remove one Stoneskin, andno save is allowed.

If used against an opponent without a Stone-skin cast on him, an unmodified attack roll vs.the target’s armour class is required. If suc-cessful, each pebble will inflict but one hit pointof damage, and a successful save vs. spellreduces this to half damage, rounded down.

If the spell creates more pebbles than thetarget has Stoneskins, the extra pebbles arelost, not inflicting any damage.

The material components are a pebble orsling stone to be multiplied and hurled towardsthe target.❊

Range: 30 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: See belowCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One 3 m cube/levelSaving Throw: Negates (but see below)

This spell causes a great cloud of small,white, harmless but annoying flies to springforth. These bugs are so dense as to obscurevision within the cloud to only 0.6 m. Thesealbino fruit flies, while they do not bite, secretea sticky gooey substance, so that anyonecaught within the cloud and failing a savingthrow will be affected as if by a Slow spell. Whilethe cloud itself will only last for 2 rounds +1round per level of the wizard, the effects of thesticky gunk on characters will last until theymanage to wash it off, a feat which requires atleast half a gallon of water for a man-sizedcreature, and takes 1 turn. Using more water willreduce this time, of course, and complete sub-mersion in water will wash a character in a sin-gle round. These flies have an even worse ef-fect on vegetation. Beings made from vegeta-ble matter will take 1d3 points of damage perlevel of the wizard for as long as they remainwithin the cloud. Other vegetation will surely beeaten within a few rounds, destroying gardensor forests, and probably greatly angering anynearby druids!

The material component of this spell is a liveash-white fly or any other kind of small, harm-less, but extremely annoying insect.❊

This spell is exactly the same as the secondlevel magic-user spell Darkness, 4.5 m radius(q.v.), except in that the caster can see nor-mally through the darkness so created as if innormal lighting conditions. Alternatively, thecaster can bestow the visual benefits to an-other character by crushing the material com-ponent and sprinkling the dust into the eyesof the recipient.

- 38 -


ing the caster with a claw, bite, or similar attackor a hand-held weapon less than 1.5 m long willsuffer damage as though contacting a Wall ofFire spell (q.v.) - 2d6 damage + 1 point per levelof the caster. Undead suffer double damage,and creatures especially susceptible to flamemay also take additional damage. The castermay attempt a melee attack to burn others withthis fire, a successful blow causing 1d6 dam-age + 1 point per two levels of the caster. Crea-tures passing within a 1.5 m radius of the castersuffer 1d4 heat damage. By standing still andconcentrating, the caster may extend this heatradiation, inflicting 2d4 within a 1.5 m radius and1d4 within a 3 m radius, but this falls back tothe usual level if the caster stops concentrat-ing or resumes moving. The caster can attemptto destroy inanimate objects by touching them,requiring a save vs. normal fire to avoid de-struction. This may be attempted once perround, at a -1 cumulative penalty for each con-secutive round of handling. Items on the cast-er’s person at the time of the casting of thisspell are unaffected by the flame. The castermay end this spell prematurely if desired.

The material component of this spell is ashort glass rod, a bit of fur, and a bit of iron orlodestone.❊

Alpha’s Ice Bolt (Conjuration/Sum-moning)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

With this spell, the magic-user opens a smallhole in the spatial fabric into the supernaturalcold of the para-elemental plane of ice. Itbrings forth a shaft of solid para-elemental ice15 cm thick and 3 m long (the hole is openedfor only a very brief time). This missile hits with

great force, causing 3-30 points of damagefrom the impact alone. If the target saves vs.petrification, only a glancing blow is dealt, andthe victim suffers only 1-10 points of damage.

An additional save (also vs. petrification, andat +4 if only a glancing blow was suffered)must be made, or the victim will be stunned for1-6 rounds from the force of the blow.

The ice absorbs heat from the nearby air,and this causes 1-6 points of cold damage (nosaving throw) to all within 5 feet of the bolt’spath, and within a 10' radius of the target crea-ture. The bolt shatters upon striking its target,and the victim will suffer an additional 4-24points of cold damage (2-12 if only a glancingblow was suffered).

Fire-using creatures take double damagefrom the cold caused by the bolt, while thoseresistant to cold take none. Both types of crea-tures suffer full damage from the bolt itself.

Water-based creatures in liquid form will suf-fer only 1-10 points of damage from the blow,and cannot be stunned, but they will automati-cally be slowed for 2-8 melee rounds.

If the target creature is struck fully (i.e. failsthe initial saving throw), then exposed items onthat side of the caster must make a save vs.crushing blow, and all items carried by thecaster must save vs. magical frost (note alsothat items on the side struck by the bolt mustsave at -10, due to the cold and the blow).

The material component of this spell is aclear gem worth not less than 100 GP.❊

Alpha’s Images of Ikonn (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 4.5 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to the 2nd level MirrorImage spell (q.v.). The caster gains 1 mirrorimage for each level of experience, rather thanrolling randomly. These images can appearanywhere within 4.5 m of the caster, and a blur-ring distortion effect occurs in the casting ofthis spell and at the end of each melee roundwhich prevents isolation of the true wizard inthe new melee round, even if the wizard wassuccessfully attacked in the previous round.Area effect attacks (Fireball, etc.) can still af-fect the caster even if his location is not known.As a final benefit, if one of the images is struckby an opponent, the caster may make an un-modified save vs. breath weapon. If success-ful, the image will not be dispelled by the blow.

The material component of this spell is asmall carving or doll of the caster and a bro-ken mirror.❊

Alpha’s Lightwall (Evocation)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 3 m/level long square

Saving Throw: Special

This spell causes a wall of dazzling yellow-white light to come into being at any pointwithin the range of the caster. Vision throughthe wall by any means is quite impossible,though it is negated by a darkness (q.v.) spellcast at it. When the wall first comes into being,all those within 3 m of it who are not avertingtheir eyes (thus a mage could warn his com-panions that he was about to cast this spell)must make a save vs. petrification to avert theirgaze from the wall in time to avoid being daz-zled by its brightness. This dazzling results ina -2 penalty to hit, a 20% spell failure chancefor spell casters, and a -1 penalty on initiativedice rolls. These effects persist for as manyrounds as the difference between the victim’sdie roll and the roll needed for him to save.These effects can persist even after the dura-tion of the spell has elapsed. Naturally, blind orsightless creatures are unaffected by this spell,but subterranean or dark dependent creatures(e.g. drow, duergar, svirfneblin) suffer a -3 ontheir saving throw. Further, they are not pro-tected by their normal magic resistance, as thespell is not cast directly at them. They are asvulnerable to its existence as any other crea-ture would be. The light given off is equivalentto a continual light (q.v.) spell within 6 m, andequivalent to a light spell (i.e. normal torchlight)in an additional 24 m radius. The Lightwall, ifcast out of doors, can be seen up to a mileaway per level of the caster (reflecting theadditional size of a larger caster’s Lightwall).The wall can, of course, be created smallerthan the maximum size for the caster’s level.The wall itself causes no damage to creaturespassing through it. However, a character fight-ing someone with a Lightwall directly behindhim suffers a -1 on his chances to hit (note thatthis is cumulative with the dazzling effects de-scribed above). Similarly to the first level wallof darkness (q.v.) spell, sound is blocked bythe Lightwall, assuming that it does not allowsound waves to travel around the sides of it (aswhen cast outdoors, for example). It does notabsorb sound or prevent spellcasting, it merelydoes not allow sound to pass through it (evenif such sound is from a Horn of Blasting or aShout spell).

The material component is a clear gemstoneor a sunstone worth not less than 100 GP.❊

Alpha’s Lucent Lance (Alteration)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 roundCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

There must be some ambient light availablein order for this spell to work. The effectivenessof this spell is determined by the amount of am-bient light available. The caster must concen-trate for a full round to focus the light into theLucent Lance, after which its energy may bereleased. The power of the Lance is such thatit can carve through wood or soft metal up to10 cm thick, stone up to 2,5 cm thick, or hardmetal up to 1,5 cm thick, this thickness multi-

plied by the appropriate modifier on the tablebelow. Items carried by a living creature arepartially protected by that creature’s aura, andgain a save vs. magical fire (modified as be-low) to avoid being damaged by the Lance.Living creatures suffer a base of 1d6 damage,modified as below, with a maximum upper limitof not more than 1d6 per level of the caster. TheLucent Lance coalesces as a ball of lightaround the caster’s hand holding the materialcomponent, and shoots forth until maximumrange is reached or until a sufficient thicknessof material blocks its progress. The LucentLance may be traversed over an arc up to 0,3m per level of the caster at its maximum range.The caster’s hand glows brightly while the spellis being cast and while it is active.

Alpha’s Silverlight (Evocation)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 9 m radius sphereSaving Throw: Special

This spell is similar to the 2nd level ContinualLight spell in that it creates a very bright light(almost as bright as full daylight). However, anycreature within the area of light which is vulner-able to silver (e.g. wights, wraithes,lycanthropes, devils) will suffer 1d6 damageevery round that it remains in the area of ef-fect, and will be at -2 to on to hit rolls and +2to be hit due to the intense discomfort felt bysuch creatures while within the Silverlight. Al-ternatively, the caster may throw the spell di-rectly at a single target. Such a creature mustsave vs. spells or be blinded for the durationof the spell. If the save is made, the spell formsas per usual about 30 cm behind the intendedtarget, and its duration is halved. A creaturevulnerable to silver who is thus targeted neednot save vs. blinding, but will instead sufferd6+1 (2-7) points of damage per level of thecaster, up to a maximum of 10d6+10, and willbe stunned for 1d4 rounds. A successful sav-ing throw vs. spells at -2 will halve the damageand reduce the duration of the stun to a singleround. If thrown thus at a creature vulnerableto silver, the spell will not form normally, regard-less of the saving throw, as its magic is usedup in the attack on the creature.

The material component is a bit of puresilver.❊

Creatures adversely affected by brightlight (e.g drow, duergar) save at -3 vs. this ef-fect. Any creature within the narrow column offire (most likely only a single creature) is auto-matically blinded and dazzled as above, andadditionally suffers 1d6 damage per level of thecaster, up to a maximum of 10d6. A save vs.spells will halve this damage. If the spell is castoutdoors under a night sky, a bonus of +1 perdie of damage is added.

Range: TouchComponents: V, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One creature’s faceSaving Throw: Negates

This spell transforms the recipient’s or vic-tim’s face into a horrible and terrifying mask ofthe wizard’s own imagination.

This spell causes a high-pressured cone ofwater to stream from the caster’s hand; thiscone is 15 m long, 1.5 m wide at the caster’shand, and 4.5 m wide at the base. The major-ity of damage is caused by the high pressureof the stream; anyone caught inside the areaof effect suffers 3d8 points of damage; a suc-cessful saving throw vs. spell will reduce thisdamage by one half. Those who fail their savesmust roll saves vs. crushing blow for all theirpossessions to avoid their destruction. In ad-dition, victims who fail their initial saves mustmake a dexterity check; if this check fails, thetarget is pushed backwards 1-20 m, and isknocked prone.

Bilador’s Spellshape (Alteration)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: VDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: Up to 1.8 m³/levelSaving Throw: None

When cast, this spell allows the altered spellto affect the area the wizard desires, up to 1.8m³ per level.

For instance, a 10th-level wizard could makea wall 0.3 m × 6 m × 1 m in any orientationwhich would be “filled” with the area of effect,a solid dome in a spherical shape 15 cm thickand having a radius of 4.5 m, or flood a hemi-sphere with a radius of 1.8 m. A hemisphericaldome would have a radius of 6.6 m at 15 cmthickness, and a cube 2.1 m on a size couldalso be shaped.

Any spell can be shaped, as long as theshape has a thickness at the axis of at least15 cm. For instance, a Teleport can move any-thing “encompassed”. Lightning bolts becomefields of lightning affecting all those “encom-passed”. Abjurations can enclose areas or sur-round people.❊

Channel Item (Enchantment, Invoca-tion)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 hourArea of Effect: One rechargeable magicitem Saving Throw: Special

This spell is used to recharge any item whichwas initially created by the use of an Enchantan Item spell, such as magical rings, gems,rods, staves, and wands; but not limited tosuch.

The wizard must be fully rested and notengaged in any physical activity to cast thisspell. Usually, most mages try to find a securearea since the chance of spell failure can bedeadly. He first cast this spell over the item, inthe process opening up a channel between

him and the magic item to be recharged, tak-ing one round to initiate the channel. At thistime, the total possible charges an item maycontain may be discerned by casting an Iden-tify at this time with a modifier of +10% addedonto his normal chance of success. Then, theappropriate spells must be cast into the itemto affect its recharging. While the spells neededfor various items are too large to be listed, itcan be assumed that a spell which the itemimitates is able to recharge the item. (Spell re-search can aid in gaining more knowledge ofthis subject).

At the end of the recharging session (or atleast before the channelling effect ends due tothe casting time limitations) the mage must„close“ the item’s channel. This requires a suc-cessful saving throw vs. spells modified by +1for every level of the spellcaster and -1 for everyspell cast into the item which did nothing torecharge it. A failed saving throw means thatnone of the spells cast into the item had anyrecharging affect. If the mage is physically at-tacked and/or the spell disrupted during therecharging period the mage must make an un-modified successful saving throw vs. spells,with a successful save indicating the entireprocess has been merely cast for naught anda failed save indicating that the magic itemexplodes for a magical blast effect in a 3-18 mradius doing damage equal to 1-4 HP of dam-age per charge the item currently contains(save vs. spells for half damage). The item inquestion (unless of artifact or relic status) is ir-revocably ruined in the explosion.

This spell enables the wizard to cause firesas small as a torch or lantern to become aslarge as a 2 m diameter bonfire or to cause abonfire to shrink to the size of a torch or ex-plode into a fire with a diameter of 5.4 m. In thisprocess fuel is burned according to the sizeof the fire. Also heat dissipation can be ad-justed which will also affect the amount of fuelused.

The amount of change a wizard can affectin a fire is determined as follows: take the wiz-ard’s level divided by 2 and round it down. Thisis the maximum multiplier or divisor for the size(in volume) and effects of the fire.

The material component differs for the twodifferent uses of the spell: if the spell is usedto increase a fire, the material component is atinderbox, which is not consumed in the cast-ing. If the spell is used to shrink a fire, thematerial component is a drop of water.❊

None of the following things will be revealedby the spell, though:

1. Absolutely nothing will be told about thespecial books listed in the DMG (e.g. a Librumof Ineffable Damnation, a Manual of PuissantSkill at Arms, etc.). Likewise, very powerfulbooks (artifacts or relics) will be utterly out ofthis spell’s power.

Range: 20 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 0.3 m diameter sphereSaving Throw: None

This potent spell launches a mentally guided0.3 m diameter globe which travels 0-18 m persegment and turns up to 90 degrees per round.The sphere strikes as a monster of the cast-er’s hit dice, but even on a missed roll, themissile may return the following round as longas the magic-user concentrates. Once it hits,the globe disperses and inflicts 2d6 base dam-age + 2 damage points per level of its casterto the first creature touched, up to 2d6 + 20maximum potential (e.g. an 8 hit die eldritchsphere inflicts 22-32 damage points).

The sphere harmlessly vanishes if the cast-er’s concentration is broken or the globe ex-ceeds maximum range. Despite its limited areaof effect, the eldritch’s sphere’s true advantageis its damage potential and ability to pursueand possibly corner single foes.❊

Dwindle (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

Eldarr’s Spell Conversion (Altera-tion)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 3 turns/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

This spell allows its caster to convert onespell into another of the caster’s choice. Aslong as the Spell Conversion is in effect, whenanother spell is cast, the wizard may chooseto cast it normally, or alter it into another spell.The spell to be altered must be of 3rd level orlower, and the spell to be converted to, mustbe of 2nd level or lower (the addition level ofpower is expended in the conversion process)and must be a spell the wizard already knows,although it does not have to be currentlymemorized.

This spell is usually cast at the beginning ofa day or before a known encounter, to give thecaster ample time to replace it in his memorywith another spell. Only wizard spells may beconverted by this spell -priestly spells are notaffected by it, and only the caster’s own spellsare affected. Range, duration, area of effect,and saving throws are as per the spell beingconverted to; the spell being converted deter-mines the spell components and casting time(however, in order to convert a spell, a few ad-ditional incantations are necessary, and thename of the new spell must also be uttered;this affectively increases the casting time of theoriginal spell by one).

As an example of the use of this spell, let usassume Biff the wizard has cast this spell be-fore a large battle; during the fight, Biff findshimself levitated by an enemy spellcaster anddropped from a great height. Unfortunately, Biffhas nearly used up his compliment of spellsin the battle, and has a single Fireball left - notmuch use in this situation. However, since theSpell Conversion is in effect, Biff starts the in-cantations of the Fireball anyway; when he isdropped, Biff casts the Fireball but uses theSpell Conversion to convert it to a Feather Fall,and he floats softly to the ground unharmed.

The material component for this spell is thepelt of any were-creature; the pelt is consumedwith the casting.❊

Enhance Illusion (Alteration)

Range: 30 mComponents: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One illusionSaving Throw: None

This spell is one way for wizards to add ac-tual substance to their illusions. Up to tworounds before casting an illusion (notablyPhantasmal Force, Improved Phantasmal Forceor Spectral Force), the wizard casts this spellon the area in which the illusion is to initiallyappear. Once cast, the illusion then does 10%of the actual damage that it would do if it werereal if the victim made a saving throw against

it, and is treated as normal with respect to ar-mour class, attacks, etc., if the victim failed thesaving throw and doesn’t recognize it as an il-lusion. The illusion also becomes armour class10, and gains 10% of the hit points it wouldnormally have; however, illusionary creaturesmay never have more combined hit dice thanthe caster.

If the illusion is not cast in the enhanced areawithin 2 rounds the former spell will be wasted.Multiple enhance illusions on one illusion willcancel each other. This spell can also be usedin conjunction with shadow monsters, demi-shadow monsters or shades, adding 10% morerealism to that already inherent in the spell, andlowering the perceived armour class by 1.

Enhance illusion is attributed to the de-ceased mage Scaurlin Oberlin, who died in amagical duel with a grey slaad he summonedand subsequently released. This is reputedlythe only spell Scaurlin ever wrote in his once-promising career.❊

The caster may direct the movement ofthe vortex in any direction desired, but it maynot be moved across a body of water. The vor-tex moves at a rate of 10 per round, and thecaster must maintain full concentration in or-der to direct its movements; if the caster losesconcentration, the vortex will move in a straightline at full movement rate until the caster canagain gain concentration. The wizard may notmove the vortex further away than 10 m perlevel of the caster, or the spell terminates.

The caster may use the vortex to attack asingle victim per round; he may attack thesame target in following rounds, or may electto move the vortex to attack a different one.Anyone struck by the vortex suffers 1d4 pointsof damage per level of the caster (up to a maxi-mum of 10d4). A successful save vs. spell re-duces this damage by half. The flames fromthis spell will ignite flammable materials oncontact, but will not harm most other materi-als, unless exposure is prolonged. That is, if acreature is attacked by the vortex for only a sin-gle round, non-flammable possessions are notaffected; if attacked on two consecutiverounds, all possessions must save vs. magicalfire normally (but only if the target fails hissave). Each additional round of exposure in-flicts a -1 on all possessions’ saves (no penaltyin added to the target’s save).

The material component for this spell is apiece of flammable material suspended froma string; the caster lights the material on fireand twirls it in a circle while casting the spell.He must continue doing this throughout the du-ration of the spell, and the material must remainlit; if it does not, the spell ends prematurely.❊

Hang (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 3 daysCasting time: SpecialArea Of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

- 44 -


By this spell, the next spell the caster castswill be held (will not take effect) until either theduration ends or the caster says a keyword thatwill set off the spell. The Spell that is held mustbe third level or lower, and a magic user canonly have one spell hung at any given time. Forthose spells that require a direction or a spe-cial action (like pointing a finger for lightningbolt), the caster will have to say the keywordand point at that time. It takes one segment forthe held spell to go off (no casting time, onlyinitiative), and the caster should be given abonus of +2 (in d6 initiative system) or -4 (inthe 10 segment system). When the keyword isspoken by the caster, it is only letting go ofstored energy. The caster still has 80% of hisactivity left in the round: the caster can makeone attack or cast one first or second levelspell late in the round.

The spell to be held must be cast with ex-treme caution. It will take twice the casting timeand twice the components it would normallytake to cast that spell. If the caster tries to castanother spell while another spell is hung, thehung spell will fizzle.

No material components are needed to castthe spell hang, but those needed to cast thenext spell after are doubled.❊

Intelligent Mist (Alteration)

Range: 10 yardsComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is an extension of the first-levelTalking Mist spell and can be “triggered” toappear under certain circumstances. The spellcan summon a Class I type of intelligent mistfrom the elemental plane of air. Once it ap-pears, the mist delivers an introductory mes-sage, but doesn’t dissipate immediately afterdelivery. It can then stay for its duration andconverse with anyone in the area.

The mist is actually a being from the elemen-tal plane of air (albeit a low powered one). Thedifference between intelligent mists and othersummoned creatures is that the mists actuallyhave access to the knowledge of their sum-moner. This includes 1 language (chosen bythe wizard) and information (not spells) dic-tated by the casting wizard.

For a detailed description of the differenttypes of intelligent mists, see the monster de-scription provided with the level 5 spell, MagicMist. Once the spell duration ceases, the mistreturns to the Plane of Air, but if the spell is“retriggered” before this happens, the samemist is summoned again, with knowledge ofprevious encounters.❊

The Warden is summoned to assist in open-ing doors, chests, and other locked objects.The conjurer may command it to unlock oropen doors etc., within spell range, by employ-ing either the keys or its strength. If none of thekeys unlocks the object, the Warden, whichnever speaks, will bow to the wizard and waitfor the conjurer’s command to forcibly open theportal or object. If the conjurer so bids theWarden, it will attempt to break down or breakopen the door or object, employing its strength(Open Doors: 13 in 20, 25% Bend Bars/LiftGates).

The Key Warden’s body and keys vanish ifthe creature is slain; the Warden and its keysvanish at the end of the spell’s duration, other-wise.

Major Annoyance (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 1.5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: 1/2

This is an even more powerful version of theMinor Annoyance and Annoyance spells (q.v.).It makes the victim’s leg hurt, exactly as if hehas barked his shin on something. Althoughcausing no damage, it is painful enough todisrupt spell casting in the round it is cast in,as well as subsequent rounds, to the limit of thespell.

A successful save vs. this spell reduces theduration of the spell to one round per two lev-els of the caster, and reduces the attack pen-alty to -1.

Malta’s Pattern Transport (Altera-tion)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

With this spell, the caster can move himselfand other materials from one Pattern to anotherPattern. The two Patterns must have the sameimage and the destination Pattern must be atleast as big in radius as the source Pattern.Both Patterns must be known to the caster(current locations) and they must be laid flat.

The destination Pattern must not be support-ing any object (even partially). The destinationPattern must also be uncovered such that thereis room for the incoming creatures/objects.

If all of the above conditions exist, then cast-ing the spell will transport the caster and anyobjects/creatures which are completely sup-ported by the source Pattern to the destinationPattern. All objects transported will end up onthe destination Pattern at the same ratio ofdistance to the edge as on the source Pattern.That is, if an object is halfway from the centreto the edge on the source Pattern, then it willbe halfway from the enter to the edge on thedestination Pattern (regardless of the size ofthe destination Pattern).

An object is considered to be completelysupported by the pattern when its weight issupported by the material inscribed in theouter circle of the Pattern or by somethingwhich is itself completely supported. Thatmeans that a person held in the air by anotherwill be transported only if the holder is com-pletely supported. Flying creatures must not beflying at the time of transport.

To cast the spell, the caster must stand in thecentre of an undamaged Pattern and cast thespell. In the first round of the casting, the Pat-tern will begin to glow (each colour of the Pat-tern will emit its own colour). Over the nexteight rounds, the Pattern brightness will in-crease to approximately the same as outsideon a sunny day. As the last word of the spell isstated, the brightness of the Pattern doublesand all completely supported objects/crea-tures are transported to the destination Pattern.

If the destination Pattern is not available (seeabove), then the transported objects/creaturesare returned to the source Pattern after onesecond (and the source Pattern’s save is at -4). The source Pattern is subjected to someheat and other energies in the course of thetransport. These energies cause the sourcePattern to make a save or be damaged (a sin-gle crack or burn mark will alter the Pattern andrender it unusable). The destination Pattern isnot subjected to the same amount of energy,so it does not need to make a saving throw.

The lighting conditions at the destinationPattern do not change, so the transportedcreatures will have to adjust to the current light-ing (1-2 rounds, depending on lighting).Some notes:

1.) Tossing a rug over an inlaid Pattern pre-vents incoming transports.

2.) Rolling up a rug/cloth Pattern preventsincoming and makes it easier to transport thePattern.

3.) The only bidirectional Patterns are exactlythe same size (hence the Pattern Image spell).

4.) The caster must remain in the middle forall of the casting, but creatures/objects alsotransported only have to be on the Pattern inthe last segment.❊

Marty’s Magic Bow (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3

Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

Marty’s Magic Bow causes a magical forceto propel objects from the caster’s fingersmuch as a bowstring. With arrows, the effect isto allow the caster to release one arrow perround, each arrow attacking as a fighter of 1/2level of the spellcaster. The advantage of thisspell is the fact that the arrow attacks are notmagical: thus there is no magical saving throwinvolved for the target, so if the caster makeshis to-hit roll (at 1/2 his level on the fighter ta-ble) he hits, even if the target is, say, in an anti-magic shell, or in a Cube of Force that KeepsOut All Magic, or if the target is magic resist-ant.

There’s probably a material component (say,a length of string made of silver thread, orsomething like that) but the arrows are notcomponents - i.e. they’re not consumed, andyou might be able to reclaim some of them.Also, magical arrows would provide the appro-priate bonuses to hit/damage.❊

Merkridan’s Misplayal (Alteration)

Range: 20 mComponents: V, SDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One instrumentSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes music emanating from amusical instrument to become twisted andharsh. The musical notes effectively becomeinterchanged. The target instrument may beeither magical or nonmagical. Only magical in-struments gain a saving throw (as if the attackwere magical fire) to avoid the spell effects. Ifa bard is playing an affected instrument, allbard abilities directly resulting from the playingof his instrument are lost until the spell expires(or the bard uses a new instrument). The spellhas no effect on sounds from living creatures,although it could effectively garble communi-cation through instruments (i.e., signallingdrums). It only works on items which are emit-ting music at any time while (or up to one roundafter) the spell is being cast.

The origins and history of the spellMerkridan’s Misplayal are unknown. This spellwas discovered in a lost laboratory complex onthe deserted island of Arremara.❊

In the second round of the spell the heatbecomes very pronounced, and will ignitepaper, cloth, and dry vegetation touching theground. If the people in the area of effect didnot announce that they were moving in thisround, they are going to be injured.

Pro-tection from Fire will protect a person but nothis items from this spell. Note that lava rock ishard to obtain in most medieval settings, andthat the lava generated by this spell will notwork as a component for later casting (it’smarked by magic).❊

This spell may be worked upon a single,magically-sealed tome, causing the tome inquestion to open at the final utterance of thespell’s verbal components: “Edro ...!” Note thata name which the book recognizes as its ownmust be known by the wizard in order to effectthis spell. Generally speaking, a book whichwants to stay shut may save vs. spell at thelevel of its writer to avoid being opened, butspecial conditions may apply to this, further-more, very special books may be equippedwith more magical protection, such as the sigilof the author or powerful runes and wards.

Some diamond dust must be sprinkled onthe book for the spell to take effect.❊

Orko’s Lubricity (Alteration)

Range: 9 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

When cast on an individual creature, thisspell gives the same effect as Oil of Slipperi-ness. If cast on a single object of 27 dm³ vol-ume or less, the object becomes impossibleto grasp. Items held by creatures gain a sav-ing throw. If cast on a floor it will make a 6 × 6m square area extremely slick: there will be a95% chance per round that any creaturestanding in the area will slip and fall. Fallencreatures must save vs. spells to regain theirfooting or crawl out of the area at 3 m perround.

Pander’s Improved Identify (Abjura-tion, Divination)

Range: 3 m and 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: One item/levelSaving Throw: Special

When Pander’s Improved Identify is cast,magical items subsequently touched by thewizard can be identified. The eight hours im-mediately preceding the casting of the spellmust be spent purifying the items and remov-ing influences that would corrupt and blur theirmagical auras. If this period is interrupted, itmust be begun again with a new casting of thespell and the current spell is lost since thishigher level version requires intense concen-tration. When the spell is cast, each item mustbe handled in turn by the wizard. Any conse-quences of this handling fall fully upon thewizard and may end the spell, although thewizard is allowed any applicable saving throw.However, immediately before handling eachitem the caster may scan the items for anycursed properties from a distance of 3 m with-out touching the item. The caster has a 5%chance per level of determining if there is acurse and also the exact nature of the curse,to a maximum of 90%, rolled by the DM. Eachtry is treated as one reading and the casterneed not use a slot to determine the exactnature of a curse unless he wishes. This partof the divination can only detect curses, nottraps. It should be noted that the caster maynot add to the list of original items that were tobe examined once this condition is estab-lished. If the act of detecting for a curse actu-ally triggers one that affects the caster he maymake a saving throw vs. spells to avoid thecurse in question.

- 48 -


The chance of learning a piece of informa-tion about an item is equal to 10% per level ofthe caster, to a maximum of 90%, rolled by theDM. Any roll of 96-00 indicates a false reading(91-95 reveals nothing). Only one function of amulti-function item is discovered per handling(i.e., a 5th level wizard could attempt to deter-mine the nature of five different items, five dif-ferent functions or a single item, or any com-bination of the two). If any attempt at readingfails, the caster cannot learn any more aboutthat item until he advances a level. Note thatsome items, such as special magical tomes,cannot be identified with this spell.

Exact attack or damage bonuses, chargesof an item may be determined; one per read-ing. A +1/+4 vs. undead longsword has twoindividual functions.

After casting the spell and determining whatcan be learned from it, the wizard loses 8points of Constitution. He must rest for onehour to recover each point of Constitution. If the8-point loss drops the spellcaster below a Con-stitution of 1, he falls unconscious. Conscious-ness is not regained until full Constitution isrestored, which takes 24 hours (one point perthree hours for unconscious character).

The material components of this spell are acrushed pearl and jet gemstone (of at least 100GP value each), and an owl feather steepedin wine, with the infusion drunk prior tospellcasting. If a luckstone is powdered andadded to the infusion, the divination becomesmuch more potent and the functions of a multi-function item can be learned from a singlereading. At the DM’s option, certain propertiesof an artifact or relic might also be learned.

The source of this spell is Pander Pillma.❊

Pilpin’s Infatuating Greed (Enchant-ment/Charm)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day + 1 day/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell causes a person (as defined inCharm Person) to be overcome with tremen-dous greed. If the person fails a saving throwversus spell, he will want the first thing of valuethat he sees, and if refused, will become veryangry.

The person will sell or tradeanything it possesses to get the item. Once inpossession of the item or a replica, the affectedperson will want the next item of value that theysee, and this will continue until the spell dura-tion expires.

For example: Mel - a lawful good ranger -,affected by the spell becomes infatuated witha beautiful carriage he sees in the street. Melattempts to buy the carriage from its owner, butthe owner refuses to sell the carriage on thegrounds that it’s from a far away kingdom. Meldenounces him as greedy and inconsiderate.Mel then starts to journey to the distant king-dom to get one for himself. Eleven days laterthe spell wears off (if cast by a tenth-level wiz-

ard) and he finds himself 11 days away fromhome attempting to buy a carriage he has nouse for.

Shandar - a chaotic evil fighter -, affected bythe spell spies a golden crown she just has tohave. Unfortunately it belongs to her boss, aHigh Priest of Hisisi. Realizing that she can’tjust take it, she spends all the money she hasto hire an assassin for the job. The mission issuccessful and she gets the crown. When theassassin hands her the crown, Shandar’s at-tention is suddenly focused on the exquisitering the assassin possesses. Quickly decidingthat the assassin is no match for her in opencombat, she immediately attacks the assas-sin. Bad move, the assassin kills her.

The spell can be negated by a Heal, Wish,or a successful Dispel Magic.

The material components are a gold pieceand a small piece of lodestone.❊

Pobithakor’s Tracer (Divination, Evo-cation)

Range: SpecialComponents: SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell was created by an archmageknown as Pobithakor the Powerful, a mage whowas better known as Pobithakor the Paranoid.His fear of absolutely everything around himdrove him to take extreme measures to protecthimself.

This spell is cast when the caster is beingscried upon (DMG Detection of Scrying, pg.141).

If the caster detects that he is being scriedupon, by any means, then the spell can becast. This spell causes the scrying device tobecome two-way. Not only does the scryingcreature see the caster, but the caster can seethe scrying creature. Also, whatever powers thescrying device has, such as clairaudience,then the spell also gives the caster such pow-ers. The range and area of effect are those ofthe scrying device itself. The duration is that ofthe scrying device. Once the caster breaks offcontact the spell ends. If the scrying creaturebreaks off contact, the caster can still scry upto the maximum duration of the scrying device.The caster will receive all the information insidehis head.

If the scrying creature becomes aware thathe is being scried upon and then casts a Dis-pel Magic, the spell will end, but his ownscrying device will become unusable for oneday. If the scrying creature casts a Pobithakor’sProtection spell then the Pobithakor’s Tracerspell will end and the creature’s scrying devicewill be usable.

This spell can be a useful device for longrange communication for prearranged meet-ings between two people.❊

Proficiency (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, M

Duration: One hour/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, the wizard magicallyempowers himself or another individual to useone or more weapons that he is not proficientwith. The affected individual will be able to usethe weapon(s) in combat withoutnonproficiency penalties of any kind for theduration of the spell. The base number ofweapons that proficiency is gained is one, andone extra weapon can be gained for everythree levels above fifth that the wizard pos-sesses, i.e. an 8th-level mage can empower acreature with two proficiencies. The proficien-cies cannot be split among different individu-als.

Care must be taken when allotting a weaponproficiency for use; if a cleric who worships agod of peace suddenly gains proficiency witha two-handed sword, he may have some aton-ing to do.

Because the spell only grants a nominal de-gree of skill with a weapon, it cannot be usedto augment the abilities of a character who isalready proficient with a weapon. Thus, a fighterwho can already use a longsword cannot havehis skill with the weapon improved to “special-ized” through the use of this spell.

The material components for the proficiencyspell are a bit of fleece and a miniature bronzeweapon or weapons of the type that the spellsrecipient will gain proficiency in.❊

Rathe’s Trigger (Conjuration)

Range: 3 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: 27 m³/levelSaving Throw: Special

The Trigger spell is designed as a defensivespell. When it is cast, the caster defines a vol-ume which must be at least 15 cm in every di-mension. This area begins to glow faintly.

the Trigger until someone enters or touches theTrigger’s area of effect. At this time the secondspell will go off.

If it is an area effect spell (e.g. Fireball, Web)it will be centred on the centre of the Triggerarea. Other considerations (the dimensions ofthe web, for instance) must be specified at thetime of casting the second spell. Person-affect-ing spells (e.g. Hold Person, Charm Person) willbe applied to the person who triggered thespell. A saving throw is applicable only if al-lowed by the second spell. If the caster is inor touching the Trigger’s area of effect, it will notgo off. This allows the caster to escort otherssafely through the trapped area.

One possible use for this spell is two triggersoverlaid in a corridor, one with a Fireball, andthe other, placed slightly behind the first, witha wall of force. If a person enters the regionsfrom the wrong direction, the Fireball will go off,and the wall of force will instantly restrict theblast to one direction. If a person enters the re-gions from the other direction, the wall will trig-ger first and shield him from the blast. Thespells will last until triggered, but if the secondspell is not applied immediately, the trigger willonly last one turn per level of the caster.

The material component is a black pearl ofnot less than 500 GP value per level of the sec-ond spell.❊

Provided the caster is conscious and withinthe area of effect, he will be made aware of anyspellcasting conducted in that area. The par-ticular spell cast is not made known, but thelocation of the wizard is, precisely if the casteris familiar with the area, generally otherwise.The notification is sufficient to disrupt castingin progress, unless it is consciously sup-pressed before casting (if suppressed, casterdoes not realise the scan was triggered).

The material component is a handful of crys-tal dust.❊

Sanh’s Laser Bolt (Evocation)


Sanh’s Laser Bolt is the most powerful ofSanh’s simpler light ray spells. It inflicts 1d6 hitpoints per level of the wizard.

Sanh’s Slippery Surface (Alteration,Evocation)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

When cast, this spell covers a surface (usu-ally a floor) with an unstable, rapidly shiftingforce field, rendering it extremely slippery. Any-one within the spell’s effect must roll a Dexter-ity check for every action taken to avoid slip-ping and falling. The following penalties apply:

ActionActionActionActionAction ModifierModifierModifierModifierModifier

Standing -1Walking -3Running -5Fighting -9

Anyone who falls will slide toward the edgeof the area affected. Creatures with magic re-sistance roll each round to be unaffected forthat round only.

The area of effect is one 3 by 3 m square perlevel (9 square metres), and the duration is oneround. If the wizard wishes, area may be tradedfor duration, for instance, a tenth-level wizardmay affect 90 square metres for 1 round, 45square metres for 2 rounds, 22.5 square me-tres for 4 rounds, etc. The area affected must,however, be at least 0.9 square metres.

The surface the spell is cast on must berelatively smooth. A wooden floor with a looseboard or two, or a slightly bumpy stone surfaceis ok, gravel, however, is not. It is also possibleto cast Sanh’s Slippery Surface on a wall (ren-dering it unclimbable) or a ceiling.

The material component for this spell is asmall vial of oil, or a fresh banana peel. UsingOil of Slipperiness (one tenth of an ounce) dou-bles the effect of the spell and adds an addi-tional -1 penalty to all Dexterity rolls.

Note: Using Oil of Etherealness as a mate-rial component is an invitation to disaster. If thisis done, roll 1d100 on the following table:

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One floating 0.6 m diam-

eter circle plate/levelSaving Throw: None

This spell creates golden, shimmering circu-lar plates of force which move around thecaster in a constant motion, deflecting anymissile, hand, or weapon attacks directed atthe caster. The AC of the mage is improved bya factor of 1 for every three circles still activeand any successful physical melee attack(less boulders, ballista, or attack forms similarto dragon’s belly flop manoeuvre) will be de-flected automatically. Non-missile attacks bycreatures with an effective strength of 21 orgreater require a saving throw versus breathweapons to deflect.

- 50 -


Each circle is able to sustain 6 hit points ofdamage before disrupting, so if a deflectedattack does not cause enough damage to dis-rupt a circle (chosen randomly) the circle willremain active. For every 5 circles active, the ef-fects of breath weapons directed at the casterwill be reduced by 1 hit point per damage die,with 1 hit point damage per die being the maxi-mum reduction allowable. Though, unless thebreath weapon causes less damage than thecurrent hit points of a circle it will assuredly dis-rupt the entire field of circles in the process.

While the circles orbit the mage he is at a -1 to hit penalty for every circle active whenevera to hit roll is needed, including spells. Themage may create fewer circles than the maxi-mum possible.

The material component of this spell is asingle gold piece for every circle created. Allpieces are thrown into the air where they dis-appear and are replaced by the floating circles.


Selective Defiling (Alteration, Necro-mancy)

Range: 20 mComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

As a preserver is avidly against defiling, thetypical preserver, after sufficient experience,will realize what causes defiling, and why pre-server spells don’t defile. As such, he can learnto use this knowledge for his own good.

This spell may emulate any cantrip-like ef-fect, the energy for the spell being drained froma specific plant source. The spell can be usedfor two specific purposes - any other use isstrictly prohibited to one who wishes to pre-serve the land.

1) To kill a Carnivorous plant that is threat-ening. Because of the selective nature, thepreserver can drain the plant’s life without af-fecting the non-hostile plants around it, and willthus leave the soil nutrient rich.

2) To neutralize organic poisons. Organicpoisons, since they are made from the basicelements of life, are also affected by defilingspells, but only if specifically targeted. Note thatwith this use, another spell effect should not beallowed.

Any other use of this spell condemns thewizard to the penalties normally associatedwith a preserver casting a defiling spell.❊

Shadow Bridge (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 6 mComponents: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: 1.5 m × 1.5 m/levelSaving Throw: Special

This brings into being a shadowy constructthat people who believe in it can see clearly.The wizard automatically believes in the spell,others have to save vs. spells to do so.

The bridge will support any weight put uponit, as long as that weight is put there by peo-ple who believe in the spell (physical objectsdropped onto the bridge will fall through), evenif there is no apparent support. The bridge cantake on the form of a bridge, staircase or lad-der.

The bridge lasts for the duration, but only aslong as the wizard concentrates on it and hasline of sight with it. The wizard can discontinuethe spell at any time.❊

Shadow Stave (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 rounds/levelCasting Time: 8Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell brings into being a dark, hardwoodquarterstaff, that gives of a slight, dark glow.The stave is weaved from wisps from the planeof shadow, and remains in existence for theduration of the spell.

The weapon is considered to be magical,with a +1 rating per every 5 levels of the wiz-ard (+1 to hit, +1 to damage, -1 to speed). Thewizard has the weapon ready to parry or attackat the end of the casting, (somatic componentsallow the action of a normal quarterstaff at-tack). Only the wizard can use the weapon. Ifthe staff is dropped, only the wizard can pickit up. To all others it is insubstantial. The wizardcan phase the weapon in and out of reality (thisaction is considered to be at speed 1, and canbe combined with a normal attack, e.g., tophase the staff into reality, and perform a nor-mal attack, the weapon speed is 1 higher thannormal). While it is phased out of reality, thestaff is only solid in the wizards hands, it ap-pears to be a shadow of its normal form, andit can pass through physical objects. Whilephased, it can hit incorporeal objects that areinvolved with the shadows.

The weapon does 1d6 + the pluses listedabove points of temporary damage (that lastsfor an hour) to physical beings. Illusionarybeings and beings made from shadows takepermanent damage.

Snowball (Evocation)

Range: 100 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 2 m radius sphereSaving Throw: 1/2

A snowball is an explosive burst of cold gas,which comes into being with a loud „whoosh“and delivers damage proportional to the levelof the mage who cast it, i.e. 1d6 per level of thespell caster. The snowball doesn’t expend aconsiderable amount of pressure, and it willgenerally conform to the shape of the area inwhich it occurs, thus covering an area equalto its normal spherical volume. [The area whichis covered by the snowball is a total volume ofroughly 900 m³].

Besides causing damage to the target, thesnowball freezes all liquids within its radius.Items exposed to the spell’s effects must makea saving throw to avoid being affected. Itemswith a creature which makes its saving throware considered to be unaffected. The magepoints his finger and speaks the range (dis-tance and height) at which the snowball is tocome into being. A streak flashes from thepointing digit and unless it impacts upon a ma-terial body prior to attaining the predescribedrange, blossoms into the snowball.

If creatures fail their saving throws, they alltake full hit point damage from the spell. Thosewho make their saving throw manage tododge, fall flat or roll aside, and thus take onlyhalf damage from the effect of the spell.

The material component of this spell is ahollow crystal filled with water; suspended inthe water are tiny white quartz flakes [cf.Fireball].❊

Sonoric’s Magic Tracker (Divination)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1d4 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: 6 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

With this spell, the caster is able to illuminatethe tracks of any being of which he has a someitem that was in contact with the being anumber of turns equal to the caster’s level pre-viously. The item could be anything from a shirt,to a scrap of hair, or drop of blood. The tracksare only visible to the caster, and only trackswithin the area of effect are visible.

The spell only illuminates tracks within thespell’s area of effect (which moves with thecaster), and will only illuminate tracks made ona solid surface (i.e. if the being being trackedtook to flight, or dove into water, the trail wouldend there). However, if the caster is able to

- 51 -


reach the spot where the trail was resumed (i.e.the being being tracked wades out of a riverat a certain spot), the caster may resume track-ing.

It is up to the caster to determine which di-rection leads to the most recent tracks (i.e.which are coming and which are going), al-though the spell does illuminate a „footprint“of the being which is being tracked. The spellwill allow the caster to track the being if itclimbed walls, and even if it tried to obscureits path, by throwing dirt over it. Objects over 1m thick covering the path, however, do obscureit.

The material component of the spell is something which had been in contact with the crea-ture to be tracked, up to the caster’s level inturns previously. Once the spell is cast, thecaster need not carry the item with him.❊

During the casting of the spell,the caster must touch some object which thetarget creature was in contact with for at leasta round, and that contact must not have oc-curred more than the caster’s level in hourspreviously.

Upon casting the spell, the caster goes intoa trance, during which he loses all control ofhis actions (save vs. spells at -4 to break spell),and begins mimicing the most recent actionsof the target, provided the actions occurredwithin the area of effect. The spell does notallow the caster to mimic actions of which heis incapable, such as climbing walls, or broadjumping 6 m, and the caster merely imitatesany spells the target may have cast, anddoesn’t actually cast the spell (although ob-servers may recognize the spell he is attempt-ing to cast). If the target did something whichwould take it outside of the area of effect, suchas rapid movement beyond the abilities of thecaster, or teleportation, the spell is broken.

The caster must decide how far back in timehe would like to begin mimicing the actions ofthe target. The actions of the target may takethe caster beyond the original area of effect,but there is a 3 m radius sphere over which isdetermined whether or not the target left thearea of effect.

The caster has the option of casting suchmovement spells as fly and feather fall, priorto Trance, to facilitate movement such as climb-ing, and even flying, and to take the pain outof such actions as falling (if the target was aclutz). The target must be man sized, and hu-manoid.

The caster’s trance will be broken by suchthings as damage, slapping, and other un-pleasant stimuli.❊

Soul Safe (Abjuration, Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

With this spell, the Necromancer stores thesoul of the recipient in a piece of jet, the mate-rial component. While his soul is thus protected,a character suffers a penalty of -2 to attack rollsand saving throws, he does not heal naturally,and magical healing functions on him at onlyhalf normal efficacy. If the character is slain byundead while under the effects of this spell,however, his soul cannot be corrupted andforced to rise as undead itself (though the bodycan still be animated as a zombie or skeleton).If the soul safe is destroyed, or if the spell ex-pires, the soul will return (across any distance)to its body, unless that body is dead, in whichcase it will journey to its final resting place. Thisspell affects only races with souls: dwarves,halflings, and humans.❊

Spirit Call (Conjuration/Summoning)Reversible

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This summons one incorporeal spirit of hitdice equal to one half the caster’s level fromthe astral plane. The round after it is sum-moned, it will begin to perform services for thewizard. In its native form, it is a powerful Un-seen Servant which can go up to 100 m fromthe wizard, lift 50 pounds per hit die, and fly at18. This form has a punch for 1d6 damage, AC0, and takes one point of damage from anyweapon blow.

Secondly, it may provide animating force toa body or statue, in which case it uses what-ever weapons or armour are available (a stonestatue will be AC 0, damage 2d6 or by weapon,move 9 unless affixed or possessing wings).

Thirdly, it may attempt to take over the bodyof one enemy creature. The being so affectedis allowed a save, and the spirit will be forcedback to the astral plane immediately if the saveis successful. If the save fails, effects are as aDomination spell for the duration of the SpiritCall, but the domination cannot force someoneto use magic (the Spirit would not understandthe instructions). A spirit who has less than 1/2 of its hit points left will be unable to possesssomeone.

The material component is a piece ofcandy.❊

Stren’s Improved Floating Disk(Conjuration, Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, M

Duration: 3 turns/levelCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is an improved version of Tenser’sFloating Disk. The big improvement is thespeed of the disk - now 30. The disk can alsomove from 1-3 m off the ground/water. The diskmovement is based relative to the caster, whichprevents the caster from riding their own disk.However, if two casters use this spell, they canride each others to travel. This travel can eitherbe in the form of independent movement(tricky to communicate since somebody elseis steering yours) or master-slave. In the mas-ter-slave travel, one caster steers a disk whilehe rides on a disk which stays the same dis-tance from its caster.

S1 <—> S2 <—> MCaster 1 is the master and riding in the back

(caster 3’s disk). Caster 2 is in the front ridingon the master’s disk - his own disk stays x feetbehind him. Caster 3 rides in the middle andhis disk also stays x feet behind him. Caster 1steers the chain while the other two can sleep,eat, cast spells, etc. I have this written downat home, but I believe that all other parametersare the same as Tenser’s Floating Disk.❊

Strength of the Damned (Alteration,Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 turns/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: PersonSaving Throw: None

This is a variant of the second-level spellStrength. Unless otherwise noted it mimics theeffects of the Strength spell. This spell can onlybe cast on a willing recipient.

This spell utilizes a creature’s own life force,temporarily binding it with negative materialplane energies, channelling the resulting en-ergy flow to produce unholy strength in thespell recipient. Strength gained is based uponclass as follows:

ClassClassClassClassClass StrStrStrStrStrength Gainength Gainength Gainength Gainength Gain

Priest 1d8 pointsRogue 1d8 pointsWarrior 1d10 pointsWizard 1d6 points

All character classes, not just warriors, havethe chance to jump into exceptional Strengthratings as if they were warriors providing thatthis spell gives the recipient greater than 18Strength. Warriors, on the other hand, are al-lowed to advance as high as 19 Strengththrough the use of this spell.

The recipient of the spell will undergo a mi-nor change in appearance as well while thespell’s duration is in effect. Bright, white, pin-points of light will glow in the centres of the

- 52 -


subject’s eyes as a result of the large quantityof negative plane energy that is being utilizedto augment the character’s Strength.

At the end of the spell’s duration, the recipi-ent will experience a terrible backlash from theexertion upon his life energies and the terribleexperience of such close contact with nega-tive material plane energies. As the spell’sduration ends, the recipient must make a savevs. death magic. Success means that he takesonly 2d8 points of damage. Failure indicatesthat the life force of the character was dam-aged greatly and the character takes 2d8points of damage and also loses one life en-ergy level (experience level, HD, etc.).

Creatures without Strength ratings receive abonus of +2 to attack and damage rolls on allattacks.

The material component for this spell is a bitof bone from a giant skeleton or a pinch ofvampire dust.

Suggest Illusion (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 60 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 4 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creature/3 levelsSaving Throw: Negates

This devious spell causes a targeted crea-tures to believe that they have just discoveredand successful disbelieved an illusion. This isa bit of misdirection caused by the caster, asthe item selected by the caster to be believedas an illusion could actually be real.

This spell could be great for causing en-emies of the caster to walk into a pit becauseit „does not really exist“.

If the victim has a reason to believe that aso called illusion is actually not an illusion, thenhe get a saving throw vs. illusion to actuallydetermine if the item is an illusion or not.

The material component of this spell is a bitof burning incense, which of course adds to amagical „atmosphere“, thus making the vic-tims believe even harder that they are reallyseeing an illusion.❊

Telepathic Familiar (Divination)

Range: 1 km + 1 km/2 levelsComponents: V, SDuration: 1 hour/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One familiarSaving Throw: None

This spell enables the wizard and his famil-iar to communicate mind-to-mind as thoughthey were speaking with each other. It providesfor greater understanding and depth of com-munication than is enabled by the empathiclink automatically conferred by the find famil-iar spell. If the wizard and his familiar becomeseparated by a distance greater than that al-lowed while the spell duration is still in effect,the spell does not wink out but begins func-tioning again if the distance is closed.❊

Tenser’s Deadly Strike (Enchant-ment)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell improves the martial prowess ofthe wizard. All melee attacks made by the wiz-ard are at the usual chance to hit, but everysuccessful attack does maximum normaldamage to the opponent for the duration of thespell. The spell only affects hand-held meleeweapons and hurled weapons, not device-pro-pelled missile weapons.

The material component is a set of tigerclaws.❊

Timejump (Enchantment, Alteration)

Range: 0Components: VDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

Timejump allows the teleport ahead in timeby (roughly) 60 seconds. When the spell iscast, the wizard disappears for 1 round, andthen reappears in the same place. For the wiz-ard, the shift in time is instantaneous, so hecannot prepare for “re-entry” in any way. Thewizard reappears at the same time in the roundthat he disappeared (using initiative as aclock), and cannot take any actions during theround of “re-entry”. If a solid object is blockingthe spot where the wizard will reappear, thenhe will be trapped in the astral plane. Gettinghome is up to the wizard.❊

Vanquil’s Immunity to Pain (Illusion/Phantasm, Enchantment)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: Special

This spell is a mixed blessing. It prevents thesubject from feeling any kind of pain, eitherfrom wounds or artificially induced (i.e., magic,psionics). Thus, wizards and psionicists canuse their abilities regardless of what kind ofdamage they take in a round, and tortures andpain-inflicting abilities (like the psionic Inflict Pain)do not affect the recipient. On the downside,the recipient is unaware of any hit point losses,poisoning, disease, etc., and does not know ifhe has been hit or needs healing. The recipi-ent could be down to 1 hit point and not knowit. Low Intelligence creatures tend to feel invul-nerable while under this spell (no pain, no in-jury), while higher Intelligence ones realize thedanger of the situation.

Unwilling creatures get a saving throw ver-sus spell.

Vanquil’s Snowball (Evocation, En-chantment)

Range: 25 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell functions like improved version ofSnilloc’s Snowball (although developed withoutknowledge of Snilloc or his spells). When cast,it creates a blue-white snowball in the wizard’shand, which is then thrown in the same round,with a chance to hit equal to the wizard’sTHAC0 plus 3. As it flies towards the target, thesnowball expands to become a one metre di-ameter mound of snow. Neither Shield nor Pro-tection From Normal Missiles (or similar spells)will stop the Snowball, but a Minor Globe ofInvulnerability will. Immunity to cold will notprevent damage, nor being knocked over if thesave is failed, but will prevent the target frombeing unable to cast spells.

If the target makes his saving throw vs. spell,he takes 1d2 points of damage per wizard level(maximum 8d2 points of damage), and can-not cast spells in that round or the next round.❊

View Past (Divination)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: one hourArea of Effect: 1.5 m/level radiusSaving Throw: None

The spell is cast on an area, and allows thecaster to create a three-dimensional image ofthe past in that location. The caster specifiesthe time in the past by the material component:one gold piece equivalent of gold dust is usedfor each hour back that is viewed. Thus if thecaster uses 24 GP worth of dust, he can viewa period starting roughly 24 hours in the pastthrough the duration of the spell (a tenth levelcaster could view the period from 24 hours inthe past to 24 hours - 100 rounds, that is 22hours and 20 rounds, in the past).

After the spell has been cast, the DM rolls1d20 - 10 to determine the error in the timeframe. Thus if the DM rolls 5 - 10 = -5, the timeviewed is actually N hours and 5 rounds in thepast; a roll of 10-10 = 0 indicates exactly theright amount of gold was consumed.

The caster should roll 1d20 to determine theclarity of the casting. A 1 indicates that thescene comes through as shadows in a fog; a20 indicates a crystal-clear picture. This roll canbe repeated in subsequent castings, and rep-resents the difficulty of seeing through time.

Events that were cloaked by spells that hidethemselves from Clairvoyance also mask outView Past, and can never be seen using thisspell.❊

Alcoreax’s Icetrail (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: See belowSaving Throw: Negates

This spell creates a wave of hardened icewhich the caster actively directs. After casting,the wizard simply taps the ground to activatethe spell. The wave of ice begins where thecaster taps the ground, and reaches its fulldimensions after advancing only 3 m. It trav-els at a speed of 12 m per round. The crest ofthe wave is 3 m high and 4.5 m wide; after thecrest of the wave has passed, the height of theremaining “trail” is only 1 m high.

Creatures coming into contact with the crestsuffer 2d6 points plus 1 point damage per levelof the caster, or half this amount if the creatureis cold-using (in general, cold-dwelling crea-tures take half damage from this spell, roundeddown, and cannot suffocate as a result of thisspell). In addition, creatures of less than largesize must save against paralyzation or be bur-ied under the crest. Buried individuals take an

additional 1d3 points of cold damage eachround and must initially make another saveagainst paralyzation or start to suffocate un-der the ice (use the rules for drowning).Trapped creatures may break free, taking 1more point of damage per level of the casterfrom sharp ice.

The crest of the wave can be disrupted by30 or more points of fire damage, or negatedby a wall of fire in any case. At the end of thespell duration, the crest of the ice wave imme-diately loses all momentum and melts; thespell will cause no more damage, and trappedcreatures can easily break free taking no dam-age.

Alpha’s Ball Lightning (Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: 4 roundsCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: 1/2

The caster of this spell can create one to fourspheres of glowing electrical energy. Thesespheres resemble Dancing Lights (q.v.), andthe caster can control them in the same way.The spheres can be moved up to 120 m perround. Each ball is about 1.5 m in diameter, andany creature(s) approaching within 1.5 m willdissipate that ball’s charge.

Alpha’s Elemental Form (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

Use of this spell enable the spellcaster totransform the matter of a creature’s body intothe stuff of a particular elemental plane. The el-emental form enables the character to engagein normal combat with an elemental of thesame or opposite form (i.e. water would allowcombat vs. water or fire elementals), or an el-emental creature, without needing a magicalweapon to hit. It also provides protection vs. thesame element as if a ring of warmth (+2 onsaves, -1 per die of damage, regenerate 1 HPof elemental-caused damage per turn). Thesubject can also exist without danger on theappropriate elemental plane, and can movenormally there. It does not empower the sub-ject with perceptions not normally possessed(e.g. seeing through the rock of elementalearth), but it does prevent elemental damage.A character possessing a ring of elementalcommand who assumes Elemental Form of thesame type gains the cumulative effects of both,and IS empowered with senses on the appro-priate plane as if in normal air.

If this spell is cast on the prime material, thespell will last 1 turn per level of the caster. If caston the appropriate elemental plane, or in theborder Ethereal of that plane, it will last 12 turnsper level. If cast while on an elemental or para-elemental plane different from the form as-sumed, start with the base of 12 turns per leveland halve the duration for each plane removed.An Elemental Form in opposition to the planethe caster is on (air vs. earth, fire vs. water)cannot be assumed at all.

The material component is a small amountof the appropriate element on hand (a hand-ful of clay or earth or a torch flame willsuffice).❊

Alpha’s Firefall (Alteration)


This spell is an improved version of the 2ndlevel Pyrotechnics spell (q.v.), specifically the“fireworks” application of that spell. That por-tion of the spell functions exactly as the Pyro-technics spell does with respect to duration,area of effect, saving throw, and the blindingeffect created. However, the “fireworks” createdby this spell are more along the lines of a gey-ser of brightly burning liquid fire, arcing up-wards approximately 18 m into the air and rain-ing down within a 9 m area surrounding the pe-rimeter of the basic fire source. All in this areaof effect suffer 2d6 fire damage with no sav-ing throw allowed. Further, a central promi-nence of flame is thrown upwards by this spell,and the caster may direct this column of fireat a single target within 18 m of the fire source.This plume of fire will inflict 4d10 damage to thevictim, although a saving throw vs. breathweapon is possible to halve this damage.

The liquid fire continues to burn during thefollowing round, under the same conditions asduring the first round, although the fire is lessintense and causes only half the damagecaused during the first round. Combustibles in

the area of effect must save vs. normal fire (ifstruck only by the burning spray) or magicalfire (if the victim of the central plume fails hissaving throw or if the central plume is directedat an inanimate object) to avoid being set afire.A creature who is within the area of the spraywho is targeted by the central plume will notalso suffer fire damage from the spray, as thisminor flame is all but lost in the fury of thecentral prominence. The spray does not fallwithin the area of the original fire source, butonly within 9 m of the perimeter of the firesource. An aerial creature flying within 18 mabove the rising geyser of liquid fire is affectedjust as a creature on the ground would be, andmay also be targeted with the central plume, ifthe caster so desires.

The material component for this spell is alump of pitch mixed with sulphur, saltpetre, andmagnesium, as well as an existing firesource.❊

Alpha’s Flames of Falroth (Altera-tion, Evocation)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell conjures an extra-dimensionalblack flame to surround a single object or crea-ture within range. This fire has exactly the op-posite effect of normal fire, in that it restorescreatures or objects burned to destruction byfire or acid to their original state. This will notrestore life to a person slain by a Fireball spell,but it will restore the body to full health, suchthat a Raise Dead spell will bring the charac-ter back to full physical health (though anamount of time equal to the time dead must bespent recovering from the psychologicalshock). Similarly, it will not restore enchantmentto a once-destroyed magic item, though a Lim-ited Wish spell is capable of restoring the lostenchantment to the item reconstructed by theFlames of Falroth.

In order to restore an item or creature, the tar-get must fail a saving throw of the same typethat resulted in its destruction. Hence, platemail destroyed by the breath of a black dragonmust fail a saving throw vs. acid, and an ad-venturer felled by a Fireball must fail a save vs.spells. For effects against which there is nosave (e.g. Wall of Fire), assume the save to beas against breath weapon for creatures ormagical fire for items. It is thus more difficultto restore items that were more difficult to de-stroy in the first place. One such save may beattempted each round, and as many saves asdesired may be attempted during the use ofthis spell. No object can ever be affected bythis spell after the spell has been used on itonce, whether or not it was successful. Oncethe save is failed, the object will take 2 roundsto be fully reconstructed from its remains. TheFlames of Falroth may be moved to another ob-ject or creature at any time during the spell’sduration, with 1 round of concentration on thepart of the caster.

- 55 -


The Flames of Falroth are very hostile to or-dinary fire. They may be used as a fire extin-guisher or sorts, and will extinguish a 3 m cubeof normal flame every round. Magical fire spellsmust be checked as per Dispel Magic, but mul-tiplying the caster’s level by 2 for the purposesof determining whether the target spell hasresisted the effects of the Flames of Falroth. Ifthis Dispelling attempt is unsuccessful, theFlames of Falroth will vanish back from whencethey came.

If cast at an elemental fire creature of anysort, the Flames of Falroth will automaticallycause 6d6 damage to that creature. After thisinitial attack, the target creature may make asave vs. spell at -3. If successful, the Flamesdisappear without causing further harm. Iffailed, however, the Flames continue to attackthe creature’s very substance, causing 3d6damage every round. A new saving throw isallowed each round, the chance to save im-proving by 1 each round (-2 after the secondround, then -1, etc.). This continues until thecreature is dead, the caster moves the flamesaway (after which time that creature will nolonger be affected by the Flames of Falroth),or until the spell expires or a save is made—inboth of these cases, the Flames disappear.

A fire-using or dwelling creature that usesfire but is not native to the Elemental Plane ofFire (e.g. fire giant, red dragon, chimera) will notbe harmed by the Flames of Falroth, but anyexternal fire powers (fire breath, spells, immo-lation, etc.) will cause only half normal damage,as their effectiveness is mitigated by theFlames.

The material component is a bit of greenwood, a handful of ashes, a smoky quartz crys-tal, and a piece of obsidian.❊

Alpha’s Hunting Pack (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 30 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 5 rounds/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell summons into the caster’s vicin-ity a pack of canines who will fight on behalfof the caster, if such is required. The composi-tion of the pack will be as follows:

The pack will follow commands to the bestof its ability, so long as they are relatively sim-ple (attack, return, heel, etc.). If attacked by thecaster or his fellows, all creatures summonedwill instantly disappear. The hounds can trackas well as a 5th level ranger, and can be com-manded to perform this activity if it is re-quested of them (such as by allowing them to

smell an article of clothing from the creatureto be tracked, etc.). The hounds will arrive 1-10rounds after the spell is cast.

The material components are a piece offresh, uncooked meat and a finely crafted sil-ver or ivory hunting horn, worth not less than100 GP, which must be sounded during thecasting of the spell.❊

Alpha’s Rainbow Blast (Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 0.3 m wide, 3 m + 1.5 m/level long beamSaving Throw: Negates

This spell is very much like the second levelRainbow Beam spell, but is much more pow-erful. Besides a slightly larger area of effect,and the fact that a solid object will not stop thebeam unless larger than 0.6 m wide andformed of solid stone or some such similardense material, i.e. the beam is not stopped bymere flesh, even if armoured, but would bestopped by a stone wall.

The spell does 2-7 (1d6+1) points of dam-age per level of the caster. The swirling, corus-cating tendrils of multi-hued light also haveproperties as listed under the Rainbow Beamspell. A target resistant to one or more of theseforms of attack takes -1 point of damage perdie per attack that it is resistant to. The obverseapplies for creatures that are particularly vul-nerable to a certain form of attack (e.g. a frostgiant is immune to cold, but is not particularlyvulnerable to fire, so it would take -1 point ofdamage per die. A green slime, vulnerable onlyto fire and cold, would take -5 points of dam-age per die.) The indigo (holy water) beamdoes normal damage except to creatures af-fected by unholy water (paladins, lammasu,etc., who are considered as being resistant),and those affected by holy water (undead, de-mons, etc., who are considered as specificallyvulnerable).

The victim is entitled to a saving throw, which,if successful, indicates that the beam hasmissed. It may hit another target, though. Also,if a target is struck by the beam, he must savevs. petrification or be struck in the face andblinded for 3-6 rounds.

Attacking Mist (Conjuration/Sum-moning)

Range: 10 yardsComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell can summon a Class II type ofintelligent mist from the elemental plane of air.The creature is summoned when an event trig-gers the spell (similar to Magic Mouth). Thespell attacks first person encountered. The mistwill stop an attack after it has been summonedupon conditions set by the wizard.

The mist is actually a being from the elemen-tal plane of air (albeit a low powered one). Thedifference between intelligent mists and othersummoned creatures is that the mists actuallyhave access to the knowledge of their sum-moner. This includes 1 language (chosen bythe wizard) and information (not spells) dic-tated by the casting wizard.

For a detailed description of the differenttypes of intelligent mists, see the monster de-scription provided with the level 5 spell, MagicMist.

Whether the mist stops attacking or wins thebattle, it will not return to its own plane untileither dispelled or the spell duration expires.

For example, Raji casts an Attacking Mistspell. He states that a mist will be summonedwhen anyone comes into this room, and willcease to attack anyone who speaks hisname.❊

Bands of Ice (Evocation)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

When this spell is cast, the wizard is able totrap a chosen victim in thick bands of ice. Thespellcaster can create bands sufficient to holda creature 0.3 m tall for every level that hepossesses, e.g., a 10th-level spell caster maycapture any being of 3 m height or less. If theaffected being is very broad, such as an um-ber hulk, add 0.3 or 0.6 m to its effective heightfor the purposes of determining who or whatthe wizard can capture.

The victim immediately receives a savingthrow to determine the effectiveness of thebands of ice. If the save is successful, the iceis brittle and easily broken, allowing the crea-ture to escape in one combat round. Other-wise, the being is trapped for at least one turn.Once a turn has passed, the victim is alloweda bend bars/lift gates roll to determine if the icehas melted to the point where the creature canescape. If the roll is successful, the creaturebreaks free of the ice an is no longer effectedby the spell. The normal duration of the bandsof ice is two turns. If the spell is cast in a coldenvironment (22° Celcius or lower), the dura-tion is doubled two four turns, and if the sur-roundings are very cold (-18° Celcius or below)the duration is increased to six turns (onehour).

Applying a torch to the bands will shortenthe duration by one round for each round thatheat is applied. Magical fires such as a Fire-ball will melt the ice, but the trapped being willbe injured in the process.

Creatures trapped within the bands of icesuffer 1d6 points of frost damage each turn theice encircles them. Cold-dwelling creatures donot receive any damage while fire-dwellingbeings suffer double damage. The extra dam-age suffered by heat-based creatures is offsetby the monster’s body heat, which will causethe ice to melt twice as fast, halfling the spell’seffective duration.

The material components for this spell areseveral chain links made of nickel, a piece ofiron in the shape of a hoop, and a bit of snow.❊

If the Firebolt hits a wall the plasmaspreads out in 1.5 m radius hemisphere, any-one in the hemisphere takes damage.

The Firebolt auto-matically sets fire to anything combustible inthe path or in the hemisphere. The bolt has thesame penetration ability as a Lightning Bolt.

The material components are: a stick, a bitof sulfur, and a dab of royal honey. All areconsumed.❊

- 57 -


Area of Effect: 10 m/level radiussphere

Saving Throw: None

This spell offers some protection from tel-eport spells by constantly shifting and shap-ing what an area looks like. Thus a mage can-not use information gathered previously toteleport to the effected area as the surround-ings will have seemingly changed. Objectslocated in this environment or entering it will beeffected also, first appearing as one object oranimal and then shifting to another.

Another use found for this spell is as a trap.Slimes, molds and other creatures that don’tneed senses to attack can be placed in thisenvironment and effectively are invisible.

Any attacks on anything in the area of effectis hindered by a -4 modifier to hit. Note that trueseeing and similar magics that see through il-lusions will likewise penetrate this one. Nodamage will be taken by being in the illusion.( Unless from something else physical alsothere of course! ) The main purpose is simplyto constantly conceal.❊

Inside the circle, the wizard cannot behurt by the summoned creature, nor can that

creature be loosed except by the wizard’s will.A save versus Intelligence must be made todetermine if the circle was properly inscribed.

Damian’s Insulated Envelope (Abju-ration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: Special

Due to his personal dislike of lightning thearchmage Damian crafted this spell to specifi-cally counter its harmful effects. When cast, thisspell seems to cover the caster in a pale bluelight resembling an envelope. Once cast thecaster gains 2 benefits (much like Fire Shield).

1) A save vs. lightning at + 2 indicates nodamage to the caster. A failed save merely in-dicates half damage. If at any time the casteris hit by any acid or acid spell the caster mustsave normally or take double damage.

2) If any melee attacks are made on thecaster, on a successful strike the caster takesnormal damage but so does the attacker.❊

Deaden Senses (Alteration, Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes a temporary sensory over-load to occur in all the sensory nerve endingsof the target creature. Because of this overloadof all the senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, hear-ing) will be “burnt out” for the duration of thespell. The creature will find himself in a state oftotal sensory deprivation for the spells duration.This means that the creature will not be able

to see, hear, taste, feel or sell anything. Thecreature will remain completely helpless for theduration.

There is an additional side effect of this spell.Because the loss of the senses can be soshocking an experience to some creatures,there is a 1% chance per point of intelligenceand wisdom that the creature will suffer fromthe insanity of Catatonia for a duration of 2-8weeks afterward. This can be cured with a CureInsanity.

If the creature makes its saving throw vs.spells, then the spell does not completely takeeffect. Only 1 to 4 of the creatures senses areaffected (determined randomly). Note thatsome combination of lost senses could leavethe creature helpless anyway.

The material components for this spell area small leather hoof, a shrill whistle severalsharp pins, smelling salts, and a drop of lemonjuice.❊

Deja Vu (Divination)

Range: 20 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell throws the victim back to the lo-cation he occupied at a pont in the recent past.It does not turn back time, it merely teleportsback along the victim’s “time line.” This restric-tion makes the resistance that the magic mustovercome much less than a full Teleport Otherspell would have to fight. Deja Vu sends thevictim to the position he occupied 1d6 hoursin the past per level of the caster.

If the victim would be placed inside anotherobject or creature, the victim is placed in a ran-dom direction along his time line until an un-obstructed location is found.

Detect Spellcasting (Divination)

Range: 10 m/level radiusComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell allows the caster to scan a sur-rounding area for spells being cast by othermagic users. The affected area has a radius of10 m per level of the caster (up to a maximumof 200 m); the caster may make the area ofeffect smaller if he wishes. Any wizard spellsthat are currently being cast, will be detected(priestly magic is not affected). The caster isinstantly aware of the school of magic of allspells in this area; the name of the spell willalso be known, if it has already been learned

by the caster; in addition, the caster gains ageneral feeling of the location of the caster ofeach of the spells (i.e. approximately 9 m east).

The relative strength of two spells from thesame school will also be detected. For exam-ple, if a Meteor Swarm and a Burning Handsspell are both being cast in the area of effect,this spell will detect which is more powerful(this will also work for two Fireball spells castby two wizards of different levels); the actuallevel of the spell is not revealed, and two spellsof different schools cannot be compared in thisway.

The caster may choose one spell to targetfor specific information; this includes: thename and level of the spell (as well as thecaster’s level, if that is relevant to the strengthof the spell), the spell’s target (object, location,creature, etc.), and the exact location of thecaster. Illusions of level 4 or less are revealed,as long as the caster is of higher level than thecaster of the illusion. Illusions of level 5 orhigher will return a false reading (i.e. what thecaster believes the spell to be) unless thecaster has already disbelieved that illusion.

This spell does not detect spells which arealready in effect. It does however detect allspells as they are cast, as long as the durationlasts (i.e. if this spell is cast by a 10th level wiz-ard, it will detect all spells that are cast in thefollowing ten rounds).

This spell does have a drawback: the maxi-mum number of spells that can be processedsafely is equal to the caster’s intelligence di-vided by three (round fractions down). If thereare more than this number of spells being castinside the area of effect, the caster must makea successful system shock roll or fall uncon-scious for 1d6 rounds (this roll must be madeevery round this condition exists).

The material component for this spell is apowered gem worth at least 100 GP whichmust be tossed in the air when the spell iscast.❊

Dheryth’s Monomorph (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/3 levels of experienceCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

This spell was designed to allow a wizard tolook like something he does not for an ex-tended period of time. It grants the nonmagi-cal locomotive powers, senses, and metabolicprocesses of the race of creature whose formis taken. However, a significant part of the spellis dependent on the specific creature whoseshape the wizard wishes to assume. Thus, onlyone shape may be taken on by the wizardusing this spell - ever.

When this spell is found (for instance, on ascroll or in another person’s spell book), it al-ready was custom designed by some otherwizard to adopt a certain form (race, height,weight, hair colour, etc.), and nothing the findercan do will make it do otherwise. This is be-cause the choice of creature vastly changesthe structure of the Monomorph, and thus thechoice of shape may only be made when re-searching the spell from the ground up.

When this spell is independently researchedby a wizard, he gets to decide the specifics ofthe form the spell grants.

If any wizard wants to “change” an existingMonomorph so that a different shape can beassumed, he must head into a library and re-search this change as if it were an entirely newspell. The costs for this, though, are at -25%because the wizard has a copy of the otherform of Monomorph as a model. There is noreason why a wizard with enough time andmoney could not possess several “versions” ofthis spell.

When this spell is cast, the wizard is able toassume the form of a single bipedal human-oid (human, demihuman, faerie, goblin, etc.)with which race the wizard is familiar, but notany quadruped (e.g. centaur), wholly magicalbeing (e.g. golem, demon), or other creaturenot relevantly humanoid. The wizard assumesthe shape of one such creature upon castingthe spell, and retains that shape until the spellceases to function. He may cancel the spellbefore it would normally elapse, but may notalternate between the Monomorphed andregular forms while the spell is functioning.

Monomorph will allow changes as follows:

The colour of eyes, skin, and hair can bechanged to any possible value, as can hairlength, sex, and other details.

The spell may change theheight of the wizard by up to one foot, sex,facial features, colour and length of hair, build,and even voice. However, it does not changethe wizard’s clothing, skills, or personality traits.Someone familiar with the “real” person has a(3*level + 2*Wisdom)% chance of seeingthrough the disguise by noting subtle changesin personality. Actions entirely out of characterwould allow all to make a Wisdom check todetect the disguise. In order the affect this spell,the wizard must keep in his possession an itemfrom the body of or an item constantly worn bythe person to be assumed.❊

Displacement (Illusion)


When cast on a subject, this spell causesthe subject to appear to be 2 metres to the leftor right (50% chance of each at time of cast-ing) of his actual location.

Dreamoore’s Eldritch Shield (Abju-ration)

Range: 30 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell protects the recipient from anymagic energy based attacks.

The eldritch shield can withstandup to 1d4 + 1 attack per three levels.

Note that regular attacks also reduce an el-dritch shield without any penalty, and the shieldmay only absorb spells which the caster hassufficient levels to cast. (e.g. a 9 hit die eldritchshield can protect from 4-7 Magic Missiles orsimilar spells, while a griffon would take offthree from the shield and still inflict normaldamage).

The material component is sapphire anddiamond dust which is sprinkled upon thecreature to be protected.❊

Dreamoore’s Warding Shield (Abju-ration)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

The warding shield may absorb up to base1d4 HP damage + 2 points per level of thecaster. If a magic resistant creature attacks thespell’s host, then its resistance is checked first.Success indicates that the shield is bypassedduring that attack, and damage goes directlyto the person being protected.

It will move asordered by the wizard but vanishes if orderedmore than 9 m from the wizard or if ordered toattack an native of the plane of elemental airor a creature with magic resistance. It can holda gaseous cloud at bay, and its winds are suf-ficient to put out small fires.

Eldarr’s Flameshroud (Abjuration,Invocation/Evocation)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/level (s.b.)Casting Time: 4Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: Special

When this spell is cast, the caster is envel-oped in an invisible shroud of flames; a TrueSeeing spell or similar magic will reveal theshroud, and a Detect Magic will reveal stronglines of abjuration and evocation magic. The

- 60 -


spell imparts on the caster, the equivalent offire resistance for the duration of the spell (seedescription of ring of fire resistance).

In addition to the protection aspect of thisspell, the caster may also use it offensively: anytarget that comes within 3 m of the caster maybe attacked using the shroud; a small fingerof (clearly visible) flames shoots from theshroud and strikes the victim, inflicting 1d4points of damage, plus 1 point per level of thecaster (up to a maximum of 1d4 + 20). A suc-cessful save vs. spell reduces the damage byhalf. Only one such attack may be made perround, and each attack reduces the spell’sduration by one round (thus, an attack may notbe made the last round the spell is in affect).

Anyone who scores a successful melee hiton the caster while he is under the protectionof this spell, suffers damage equal to that in-flicted by an attack from the shroud (1d4 + 1per level); again, a successful save vs. spellreduces the damage by one half. The durationof the spell is not affected in this case.

The material component for this spell is anynormal cape with a chunk of sulphur placedin the pocket; the cape must be worn through-out the duration of the spell; if it is removed,the spell ends prematurely.

The caster may use the shroud to conductelectrical attacks in the same manner as thatfor the Flameshroud spell; damage is identi-cal, and each attack reduces the duration byone round. The shroud will also provide protec-tion vs. melee attacks as per the Flameshroud,with electricity again replacing flames.

The following four spells will cause a fissureor crack to open in the ground at a spot indi-cated by the caster. The designated spot canbe anywhere within the spell range. The fissurewill then erupt in one of the four methods listedbelow. While these spells are listed as varia-tions, they are all individual spells that must beacquired, learned and memorized as such. ex.possessing the Flooding Font spell will not al-low the mage to cast the Crack of Doom.

Flooding Font

The spell causes a 1.5 m round hole to openin the specified location. Any creature within 1.5m of the geyser will suffer 4d4+4 points ofdamage from the concussion of the release ofthe high pressure water. The other danger fromthis spell is that the area of effect will beflooded to 1.5 m within 1 round. The rate of dis-sipation will depend on the actual layout of thearea. If the spell takes affect in a closed room,for example, the victims will find themselves ina swimming pool.

Crack of Doom

This spell will cause a crack 1.5 m long and0.3 m wide to open and a geyser of flame willerupt forth. Any creature within 3 m of the crackwill suffer 4d4+4 points of damage from theheat. Anyone else within the area of effect suf-fer half damage from falling cinders.

Stone Spout

This spell will cause a ragged hole approx.1.2 m in diameter to appear. From the hole willerupt a geyser of dirt, sand, and gravel. Any-one in the area of effect of this spell is not onlysubject to 4d4+4 points of damage from flyingstone and sand, but anyone losing more thanhalf their current HP must make another sav-ing throw vs spells or be buried under themound of debris.

Wind Tunnel

This spell creates a 0.6 m high 1.5 m diam-eter cone from which bursts forth hurricaneforce blast of wind. Any object not securelyfastened down will be hurled about (includingany creatures). Anyone within the area of effectwill suffer from 4d4+d points of damage dueto being blown about and impact with flyingdebris.

The diameter or length of each crack or holewill increase by 0.3 m per level of the caster.Any victim of the above spells who is stand-ing directly on the spot where a geyser erupts,will suffer from double damage.❊

Range: 30 mComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4

Area of Effect: 4d6 creaturesSaving Throw: Negates

Fellstar’s Flaming Water (Alteration,Evocation)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 3 m/level radius areaSaving Throw: 1/2

The centre of the area of effectmay be as far away as 10 m per level of thecaster; the area of burning water has a radiusof 3 m per level of the caster, but may besmaller if the caster desires. The spell must becast on an open body of water, such as a lake,river, or ocean; it may not be cast at a containerof water on the person of an individual.

If the centre of the area of effect is on thesurface, the flames will remain only on thesurface; if the spell is cast underwater, theflames will form a sphere (if the distance be-tween the surface and the center of the areaof effect is less than 3 m per level of the caster,the flames will obviously not form a perfectsphere; in this case, the surface of the waterwill burn as well).

The fire will last 2 rounds per level of thecaster, or until extinguished; the flames maynot be doused with water, as this added waterwill burn as well. The fire must be extinguishedby magical means (i.e. dispelled or via a FireQuench or similar magic), or allowed to expire.If cast underwater, the duration of this spell ishalved.

The flames from this fire are sufficientenough to start ships on fire, and any creaturecaught in the area of effect suffers 3d6 pointsof damage, plus 1 point per level of the caster(to a maximum of 3d6+20). A successful savevs. spell reduces the damage by half. If thisspell is used to attack a water elemental orsimilar creature, the damage is doubled, andthere is a -4 penalty to the save.

The boltdoes not explode on contact with whatever itis directed at, but rather burrows through al-most any object (note that a +5 or better magicarmour deflects it). The bolt has 10 hit points+ 2 hit points per level of the wizard, these hitpoints being “burrowing points”. For each 10 hitpoints of damage a normal magical item takesit will loose a plus.

A normal shield or splint mail or leather ar-mour will use up 5 hit points, chain mail will useup 7 hit points, and full plate will use up 10 hitpoints.

Glamden’s Mixer (Alteration)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One potionSaving Throw: None

This spell requires the caster to have a po-tion of any type in his or her possession. Thepotion is held in the caster’s hand, and whenthe spell is cast, the contents is instantly re-moved from its container and reappears in apotion container in the target’s possession. TheDM then makes a potion compatibility check(DMG 2ed. pg. 135) for the target potion andapplies the results normally. If the target hasone or more potion containers in sight, thecaster may choose which one to affect. If thetarget has no containers in sight, then one isaffected randomly; if the target has no potioncontainers in his possession, then the spell has

no effect. This will also work on a potion that isjust about to be quaffed, as long as the castergains the initiative.

The spell will not identify a magic item perse, but would for instance tell the wizard thatthe ordinary looking golden ring he holds is infact the signet ring of a long deceased noblehouse. Further, use of the History spell doublesthe chance that the value of an antique or relicwill be correctly guessed.

This spell will cause any humanoid to regardthe wizard as a trusted friend and ally to beheeded and protected. Although this does notgrant the wizard the ability to command theaffected humanoid as a robot, it does assure

- 62 -


that anything the wizard says to the affectedcreature will be taken in the most favourableway. If the initial saving throw is made, the crea-ture will not realize that a spell had been caston him. Otherwise, the affected creature mustrecheck his save vs. magic once per (20 -In-telligence) days until the spell is broken (crea-tures with a twenty or greater Intelligence arenot affected).

It is, however, possible to double or triplecharm creatures, so even if they break the firstcharm, they must still contend with others (forthe purpose of saves, each charm is handledseparately from the others). It has been known,however, for members of the opposite sex toon occasion become amorously attracted tothe wizard, thus continuing the charm indefi-nitely. The wizard may negate the charm at anytime, unless such attraction has occurred. OneDispel Magic will break all the charms on acreature, and if the wizard attempts to harm thecharmed creature, this will also break themagic. To further confuse matters, a creaturemay become charmed to more than onewizard.❊

Creatures flyingthrough the air would be frozen in place (re-maining in the air), immovable until the secondcommand word. The caster is free to cast thisspell upon himself. If the subject of the spell isunwilling, it receives a saving throw vs. magic,a successful save negating.

The caster must point at the creature orobject to be stopped, and utters the first com-mand word. If the spell is successful (guaran-teed in the case of objects within the caster’sweight limit), the item is frozen in the air, immov-able, unless a dispel magic, or other such spellis cast, or until the caster utters the secondcommand word. Upon saying the second com-mand word, the object or creature resumes itsinitial motion. For example, cast upon a fallingchest, would stop the chest in the air. Upon thesecond command, the chest would resumefalling, even if someone had climbed on top ofit. If some poor slob happened to be standingdirectly beneath the chest at the time of thesecond command.. . If cast at a knight on ahorse, for example, the caster must specifymount or rider. If cast at the mount, the riderwould probably continue in his original direc-tion, just without his mount. Cast on the rider,he would stay hanging in the air, as his mountran away.

Physical force is insufficient to move frozenobjects, so they could, for example, be usedas anchors for ropes, etc. The caster must beable to see the majority of the object of thespell, so he couldn’t, for example, cast it uponsomething in somebody’s backpack.

The material component of the spell is asilver whistle, which is blown prior to shoutingthe command word.❊

It negates specialattacks by creatures that inflict damage auto-matically every round after a successful hit (i.e.stirges or executioner’s hoods) - the creaturemust roll to hit every round due to the slipperi-ness of the target. Otherwise, it conforms to thenormal Haste spell ( -2 on initiative, doublemovement rate, double number of attacks perround, ages recipient 1 year).

Necromantic Runes (Abjuration, Evo-cation)

This spell mimics the fourth-level spell FireTrap in many respects. Unless otherwise noted,follow the description of the Fire Trap spell foreffects.

This spell places mystical runes over thearea to be warded. Chance for detection ofthese runes is as per detection of a Fire Trapspell.

Anyone not attuned to these runes (as perthe Fire Trap spell) who disturbs them will causea violent explosion of negative planar energywhich will sap life energy from all in the areaof effect.

Negative Bolt (Evocation)

Range: 20 m + 3 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: 1/2

This combat spell projects a bolt of nega-tive energy. Some practitioners believe it to bemerely energy from the negative materialplane. Said Spellcasters are wrong. The spellactually projects raw antimatter in a bolt of anti-energy. Materials affected by the bolt tend todisintegrate and be consumed. Spell wardsand defences tend to dissolve also. Specificdefences exist for the genre of spells similarto this one but they are secrets kept for self-defence.

The bolt only does 1d3 per level of the casterbut it also has the effect of dispelling first andsecond level defensive spells. Spells thirdthrough fifth need to make a saving throwbased on that of their caster to save and sixthlevel spells only fail on a 1. Though the dura-tion of any such affected spell is usually re-duced on a ratio to the level of the spell (GMdecision as to what, though I wouldn’t suggestmore than 1/2 duration).❊

Pander’s Whirlwind Travel (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None or special

This spell encapsulates the caster and pos-sibly more people and/or equipment inside aconjured whirlwind. One of two variations of thisspell may be cast without prior preparation atthe option of the caster.

The first variation is used by the caster forpersonal transportation or protection. While en-capsulated in the whirlwind’s eye the wizardcan view the outside normally and cause thewhirlwind to travel over any relative continuoussurface with short hops over ditches or smallobstacles not over 1.2 m in height being pos-sible. The caster may not carry more than hisnormal encumbrance and all equipment mustbe on his person (exceeding this limit causesthe whirlwind to fizzle). No other creature mayoccupy the whirlwind unless it is carried. Onsolid ground the whirlwind can move up to 240m + 10 m per level above 5th level. Rate ofmovement is the same whether moving uphill,downhill, or on stairs. Over loose sand or marshthe movement rate is 2/3 of normal and overwater the movement rate is 1/2 of normal. Windvelocities can affect the rate of speed. Al-though the caster may cast any spell fromwithin the eye, none will breach the barrier ofthe winds and spells such as Magic Missile,Fireball, or Lightning Bolt will bounce back to-wards the caster, possibly ruining an otherwisefine day.

This variation’s duration is 1 turn per level andcan be turned on and off any time during theduration. It takes 5 segments to turn the windson or off (a good mage would calculate a spellso that it goes off the segment after the whirl-wind stops). The mage is still susceptible tooutside damage from spells, but only takes 1/2 or no damage if saving throws are madewhile inside the whirlwind. Projectiles of a smallnature will not penetrate the winds and themage’s Armour Class and saving throws vs.dodging have a +4 bonus while inside the eyeof the whirlwind.

The second variation is not as fast and can-not be turned on and off (it is only good for aone-way trip). But, its area of effect is a 6 m di-ameter column which is 3 m high (centred onthe caster) and it can carry along anything inthe area of effect on a relatively safe ride overlong distances. Movement conforms as abovebut the base rate is 120 m + 10 m per level ofthe spellcaster over 5th level and the durationis 1 hour per level. All spells cast from insideconform as above, as do effects of area spellscast at the whirlwind. All inside have a +4 Ar-mour Class bonus since they cannot be seenbut there are no dodging bonuses and savesvs. dodging are based on the caster for theentire group. Weight is not a factor when de-termining what is picked up for the ride. Any-thing not securely rooted to the ground will bepicked up. Once started, the winds may onlybe exited or penetrated after start-up by mak-ing a successful saving throw vs. spell at apenalty of -1 for every two levels of the caster,rounded down. Flying creatures who enter orexit from the top have no penalty on their save.Creatures larger than the area of effect will sim-ply push the whirlwind away if they try to enterit. The caster may stop the winds at any time.

The material component of this spell is a pip-er’s flute which is played to bring the whirlwindfrom the elemental plane of Air.

The source of this spell is Pander Pillma.❊

Paranoia (Enchantment, Illusion/Phan-tasm)

Range: 10 m/level

Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour + 3 turns/levelCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

Paranoia is a spell used to unnerve andfrighten humanoid creatures. If the targetmakes a saving throw vs. spell with a -3 pen-alty (adjusted for Wisdom), then he will greatlydesire to leave his present location, but willsuffer no other ill effects. Elves have a 5%chance to resist the effects of the spell, but stillget a saving throw.

Creatures who fail the saving throw are con-vinced that “everyone is out to get them”. Thespell creates a hallucinatory person who fol-lows the target everywhere, but disappearswhen looked for. The target also has the feel-ing that he is being watched, and in fact has achance (5% per wizard level) of thinking some-one nearby is spying on him. The target be-lieves that everyone is talking about him, es-pecially those whose conversations he can’thear. Remove Curse or Heal will restore theperson’s mind, but Dispel Magic will not. Fur-thermore, any action that requires concentra-tion (spellcasting, turning undead, using apsionic ability or thief skill, etc) has a chanceto fail to the victim’s highly emotional state. Thechance of failure is: (level Paranoia’s wizard *5%) - 30%.

The final result of this spell is that anyonewho fails their saving throw will be brandedinsane or bewitched, and treated appropriately.NPC’s who are subjected to this spell willspend at least the next day sulking, still afraidof everyone (this is not a magical effect, sim-ply an aftereffect). If an NPC knows who castthe spell, they will either be afraid of the wiz-ard (for weaker NPC’s) or very angry (strongerNPC’s).

For example: Two wizards cast Paranoia atStrongarm and Bloodaxe, who are in a largedining room. Bloodaxe makes his saving throw,and becomes aware of something being“wrong” in the room. He leaves, wary of whatmight be out there, but more afraid of what isinside. Bloodaxe suffers no other ill effects.Strongarm fails his saving throw, and becomesconvinced that everyone in the room is eitherplotting against him, or spying on him. In fact,he’s certain that the Duke is spying on him. Notwilling to fight everyone in the room (“they’reall out to get me!”), Strongarm flees. As he runsdown an empty hallway, he gets the feeling he’sbeing followed, and actually sees someone inthe corner of his eye. When Strongarm tries toconfront his shadow, he finds nothing. Once thespell expires, he will still feel uneasy (memo-ries of having everyone against you are noteasily forgotten!), but will no longer act abnor-mally.

This spell was developed by Vanquil as aresponse to another wizard’s powerful mentalspell, which caused great pain in its victims(specifically, Corinna and her Psiblade. Corinnahas yet to experience a Paranoia spell...). This

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 3 turns/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell summons into existence up to 50instruments that will play any piece of musicfor which sheet music is present. The specificinstruments summoned are decided by thewizard, so the non-weapon proficiency of ar-tistic ability, or musical instrument is requiredby the wizard, or a consultant. The sheet mu-sic is placed on a music stand before the band,and as the music is played the pages areflipped automatically. When the piece of mu-sic is over, placing new music or flipping thepresent one to the first page will start the bandplaying again. The sound volume of the bandis controlled by the wizard.

Pilpin’s Fire Carpet (Evocation)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: Concentration or 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 6 m square/levelSaving Throw: 1/2 or Negates

The fire carpet brings forth an immobile,blazing carpet of magical fire of shimmeringcolour — violet or reddish-blue. The spell cov-ers an area of the ground equal to one 6 msquare per level of the wizard and the flamesare 1.2 m high.

The carpet sends forth waves of heat, inflict-ing 1d4 points of damage upon creatureswithin 3 metres. In addition, the carpet inflict2d6 points of damage, plus 1 point of damageper level of the wizard, upon any creature withinthe area of effect. For creatures moving throughthe area, the fire inflicts 2d6 points of damageper 6 m of the area of effect crossed. A suc-cessful saving throw vs. spell (modified byDexterity bonus) will reduce damage to half, ornone if the creature was close to the edge ofthe area of effect.

For example; a tenth-level wizard centres thespell on a fighter. The area of effect is 15 × 12metre. The fighter fails his save and takes2d6+10 points of damage. The warrior thenruns out of the area toward the closest edgewhich is 6 m away. If the warrior was surprisedhe must again roll a saving throw. He again failshis save and takes another 2d6+10 points ofdamage.

Creatures more than 2.4 m tall take only halfdamage. Creatures especially subject to firemay take additional damage, to the DM’s op-tion, and undead always take twice normaldamage. The wall of fire lasts as long as thewizard concentrates on maintaining it, or oneround per level of experience of the wizard, inthe event he does not wish to concentrateupon it.

The material component of the spell is phos-phorus.

Sonoric’s Spying Minions (Conjura-tion/Summoning, Divination)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour + 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell summons minor etherlings fromthe Ethereal Plane, to serve the caster’s wishes.Etherlings, being rather stupid and weak, areonly suited for simple tasks, such as spying.Upon summoning the creatures, the castermust detail, in simple language, what he serv-ice he wishes the etherlings to perform. Theetherlings, in their stupidity, will be honoured bythe request for service, and will perform thetask to the best of their abilities and compre-hension.

A minor etherling (AC: 2 MV: 60 HD: 2 #AT:1 D: 1-3), is a small, vaguely humanoid appear-ing creature, formed of the stuff of the planeethereal. On the prime material plane, it ap-pears as a hazy, humanoid- shape ghostly ap-parition, about 1 m tall. It moves by flying, andis unobstructed by walls and solid objects,

- 69 -


save lead, the touch of which sends it back tothe ethereal plane. It is fairly stupid (INT: 5), al-though extremely talkative, and puppyish in itsaffection of the caster. The etherling will do itsbest to please the caster, to the point of be-coming annoying. It does have some specialabilities, making it particularly useful, however.It has a photographic memory, and will neverforget what it saw and heard during its periodof service. It also has the ability to turn smallobjects (one at a time), weighing less than fivepounds, ethereal, allowing it to transport theitem. It can also turn itself invisible at will, al-though those able to see onto the etherealplane will be able to see it clearly. It can pushits movement rate up to 120, for up to a turn ata time. It can only attack things on the ethe-real plane, and even there not very effectively.Finally, the fact that it only partially exists on thePrime Material plane during the spell meansthat it is only hit by magic weapons, and spells.

The spell summons one etherling per threelevels of the caster, one at first, two at fourth,three at seventh, etc. The caster can detailseparate task for each individual etherlingsummoned, and may cast the spell more thanonce during its duration (allowing him to sum-mon a virtual horde), as the spell requires noconcentration after the initial casting. Anetherlings instructions can be facilitated by pic-tures (as in “Follow this *point* man... The onein the painting” or “Follow her *point*... The onein this Phantasmal Force”). It is up to the DMto decide the chance of the etherling gettingconfused, and screwing up the task. I suggestthat it has a 100% chance of getting the taskright, -1% for each word in the description (i.e.10 words, 70% chance), giving a bonus forthings such as pictures, and other helpful ex-amples. If the etherling should encounter anymentally straining problems, such as if its“mark” (he whom it is tailing or spying upon)teleports away, or disguises its features, castsillusions, etc, make an intelligence check forthe etherling, modified by the situation. If theetherling fails, it is hopelessly confused, andreturns to the Ethereal plane. The caster musttake care to give the etherling tasks which itcan complete within the duration of the spell,as the etherling returns to the Ethereal Planeat the end of the spells duration.

Some examples of tasks given to etherlingswould be “Go to the chamber at the end of thehall, stay there, and return to me in 20 minutes,to tell me what you heard and saw.”, or “Go tothis room in the tower of the castle, and bringme back a book that looks like this...”, or “Findthis man, follow him for half an hour, and returnto me, telling me what you witnessed.”, or “Findthis man, and tell him ‘Va banque.

Star Shield (Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 1 m/level

Components: V, S, MDuration: 3 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

During casting of the spell the caster has tothrow a piece of basalt, the size of a fist, intothe air high above her or his head. Upon reach-ing the climax of the chanting, the rock splitsinto several smaller fragments, which begin torotate around the recipient. The fragments in-crease in speed until the chanting ends, spin-ning round the recipient within a distance ofone metre.

If a creature tries to pass this shield of whirl-ing stones, it suffers 1d4 points of damage perlevel above 6th. The shield Protects from Nor-mal Missiles (as per the spell) with a chanceof 80%. This means that for every incomingmissile a check is made whether it is deflected(s.a.) and in which direction (use scatter dia-gram). Note that this applies also to enchantedarrows, bolts, stones, etc. (per magic “plus”chance of deflection is decreased by 5%, i.e.a sheaf arrow +4 has a chance of 40% to pen-etrate the star shield). The star shield protectsfrom melee weapon attacks, too. Every crea-ture trying to attack the shielded person, re-ceives a penalty of -4 on all to-hit rolls. If theattacker hits, he has to make a DEX check at-3. In case of failure, the fast spinning basaltfragments snatch away the weapon, which ishurled at a random direction (use again thescatter diagram). Anyone who uses a small ormedium weapon to attack, suffers 1d6 pointsof damage from reaching into the whirlingrocks.

The shielded person may move around athalf the normal movement rate, with the starshield following. Any faster movement meansthat the person moves into the rotating frag-ments and thus suffers the damage fromabove. On concentration the person may stopthe rotation of the basalt fragments, for exam-ple he could halt the rocks, in order to pick upan item. Note the star shield follows, even if therotation has stopped. If the recipient of thisspell tries to bring any living being of size smallor larger into the protected area, the spellceases. Note that if the shielded person triesto oppress someone with the star shield, thespell ends abruptly.

Steal Skill (Conjuration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell lets a wizard steal the class-re-lated skills of a willing humanoid victim andtransfer them either to the wizard or to a spe-cial container. The victim drops to first level, andregains levels at the rate of 1 per four hoursthereafter.

- 70 -


armour and attack with a THAC0 halfway be-tween the fighter’s and the default 20 with anyweapon with which the fighter is proficient; ifstealing from a thief the caster will gain thiefabilities which are the average of the thief’sabilities and the base of 4; in no case will abili-ties go down because of this). Abilities whichare granted by a deity cannot be transferredthis way, nor can spellcasting abilities. Thetransferred abilities fade after one turn perlevel.

The material component is a symbol of theclass to be transferred, specially prepared andcosting not less than 10 GP per level of the tar-get. If the caster wishes, he may imbue thesymbol with these skills rather than using themat the time (in which case it will not disappear).The primary purpose of this use is to providethe material component for Spirit Skill.❊

Sting (Alteration, Evocation)

Range: 50 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 2Area of Effect: One magical daggerSaving Throw: None

This spell requires a +1 dagger as a com-ponent. The spell causes the dagger in ques-tion to disappear and attack the victim for theduration of the spell. The dagger attacks as afighter of a level equal to that of the wizardincluding attacks per turn and so on. The dag-ger does not get its magical bonus to attack,unless a dagger better than +1 is used (+2 =+1 to attack, +3 = +2 to attack, etc.). The Stinghowever does negate the use of a shield, if thevictim has one.

A Dimension Door, Astral Spell, Blink or otherlocation blinking spell or spell-like effect willsuccessfully avoid the Sting. The wizard neednot concentrate on the spell for the dagger toattack. The dagger is consumed by the spell.❊

Stone Bridge (Alteration)

Suppress Magic Resistance (Abjura-tion)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: 1 round/level

Casting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One source of magic re-

sistanceSaving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster can tem-porarily suppress the magic resistance ema-nating from one creature or object, thus allow-ing other spells and magical effects to have anincreased chance of effect. The spell affectsone creature or object and the area that itsmagic resistance protects. For example, thisspell can be cast a paladin wielding a holysword that provides magic resistance in a 1.5m radius, and the magic resistance can besuppressed in the entire area of effect. If thereare multiple sources of magic resistance affect-ing the same area, this spell may only targetone of them.

This spell can suppress up to 5% magic re-sistance per level of the caster. Partial effectsare possible. For example, if a 10th level mageis casting the spell at a creature with 80%magic resistance, that creature’s magic resist-ance will be lowered to 30% while this spell isin effect. Of course, this spell will not go intoeffect unless the creature fails its magic resist-ance roll.

The caster must maintain some concentra-tion in order to preserve the spell’s effect. Thecaster may not perform any actions exceptmoving at up to half his normal movement rate.If the caster is successfully attacked, then hisconcentration is also broken. If concentrationis broken, the spell’s effects terminate imme-diately.

The caster, however, may choose to termi-nate the spell in a controlled manner, and dur-ing the last round before the spell is terminated,the spellcaster, in addition to moving at up tohalf his normal movement rate, may also castone spell whose casting time is up to oneround. The target’s magic resistance remainslowered when making its resistance checkagainst this spell. Of course, other spellcastersand devices may also cast spells while thetarget’s magic resistance is lowered, and suchmagic does not terminate the suppress magicresistance spell.

This spell will totally negate a magic resist-ance spell if it is successful at suppressingmagic resistance of a percentage at least ashigh as the percentage given by the magicresistance spell. In such a case, concentrationby the caster is not necessary.❊

Teleport Trace (Divination)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: SDuration: 10 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

The wizard casts this spell on a character orcreature who is likely to teleport or employ simi-lar magic in the near future. If the recipient doescast Teleport (or Dimension Door, Word of Re-call, etc.), then the wizard who placed theteleport trace will receive a mental image of thetarget location. The caster of the trace will thenknow his location relative to that of the

teleporter, and he will be able to use his ownteleportation or scrying magic with maximumaccuracy.❊

The Nimbleton Hold (Alteration, En-chantment)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 dayCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the wizard places anumber of spells “on hold” for the next day. Thespell is intended for casting at night, beforesleep. The held spells are stored in the wizard’smemory for the evening undisturbed. If thewizard is awoke, the spells are available to him,and are used up normally when cast. In themorning, the spells are still retained, and willremain with the wizard as though he had spentthe time to memorize them that morning.

The wizard may retain a number of spell lev-els equal to 9 + 2 per wizard level. (i.e. a ninth-level wizard may retain 27 spell levels worth ofspells).

The material component is any form ofheadpiece (hat, hairnet, comb, skull cap, what-ever) and must be specially enchanted by thecaster of the spell. The cost to construct thisitem is 500 GP. The item must be worn bothwhile memorizing the spells to be retained, andwhen the Hold spell is cast, though not whilecasting the spells.

Note that because a cast spell is lost as perusual, the Nimbleton Hold must itself be memo-rized and cast every day. (Therefore, a ninth-level wizard saves himself 270 minutes memo-rization time in the morning, but at some othertime during the day spend 50 minutes tomemorize and cast the Hold. Thus, his totalsavings are 220 minutes, or three hours fortyminutes. In addition, the wizard may defendhimself with the held spells during the night ormorning before memorizing the next day’slist).❊

Thorgon’s Faithful Steed (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

It can kick for 1to the wizard’s level hit points in damage. Thesteed is immune to normal magical attackssuch as Fireball, lightning and magical ice.❊

This spell causes the affected creatures tohiccup uncontrollably for the duration of thespell, during which time they will be able to dolittle other than hiccup. Persons entering thearea of affect after the spell is cast will still beaffected, and leaving the area will not stop thehiccups until the spell expires.

Turn Acid to Water (Alteration)

Range: 20 m + 1 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This powerful spell enables a magician todissolve any kind of acid. Also the acid ofmagical potions can be transformed into wa-ter, but a saving throw must be made for thepotion. In case of a failure all containing acidis turned to water. Else, the spell has no effect.If cast on pools, affected surfaces, weaponsand items, no saving throw has to be made. Upto ten litres or one potion per level can beturned to fresh water, or the acid of one weaponor item per level can be removed.

For example, a 10th-level mage can turn twopools of acid from killed Kapak into water,make ten potions useless, or remove acid fromten swords or ten affected items in a backpack.

The caster cannot dissolve acid of breathweapons (such as Black Dragons, Giant Slugs,etc. have). After an acid attack he is able torender the remaining acid harmless (e.g., oncorroding items). But he can try destroy theacid shields of some creatures, such as Disirshave. In this case the affected creature is al-lowed to save vs. spells with a penalty of -2.

The material component which is used upduring spellcasting is a piece of soap.❊

Uldark’s Conjured Fireball (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/2 levelsComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 4.5 m radius sphereSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell duplicates the 3rd level spell Fire-ball in most respects; however, instead of shap-ing the Fireball from magical energy as the evo-cation version does, this spell actually conjuresa ball of fire directly from the elemental planeof fire. When the spell is cast, a smallinterdimensional connection opens betweenthe plane of fire and the caster’s plane; theFireball enters through this opening and strikesthe targets as directed by the caster. There isa chance that an extraplanar creature mayenter through the opening as well. The chanceof this occurring is: 20% - 1% per level of thecaster (to a minimum of 1%).

This spell has the same effects (includingdamage) as the evocation version, but it isslightly harder to produce these effects in thismanner; this is reflected in the higher spell leveland the reduced range and area of effect.

The material components for this spell area piece of flint and a pinch of sulphur.❊

Uldark’s Conjured Frost Bolt (Con-juration/Summoning)

Range: 20 m + 10 m/2 levelsComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 15 m long x 3 m wide boltSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell is similar to Uldark’s Conjured Fire-ball [q.v]. It conjures a bolt of frost and ice fromthe para-elemental plane of ice. The chancethat an extraplanar creature enters the caster’splane is the same as that of the Conjured Light-ning Bolt spell. The bolt is 15 m long and 3 mwide; anyone hit by the bolt suffers 1d6 pointsof damage per level of the caster (up to a maxi-mum of 10d6). A successful save vs. spells re-duces the damage by half.

The material component for this spell is alarge chunk of ice or snow; this is consumedwith the casting.❊

Understanding (Divination)

Range: 1.50 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: 1 round + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell allows the wizard get use both ESPand Empathy on a creature if it fails a savingthrow vs. spell with a -2 penalty. For more de-tailed information, like memories or motivations,someone else must ask the wizard the ques-tion. The wizard’s player can under no circum-stances supply questions for other people toask! Doing so ends the spell immediately (forc-ing the wizard back into his own mind). Onequestion per round is reasonable for easyquestions, but long or complicated questionscan take longer (up to the DM). A commonlanguage is not needed between wizard andtarget, and the wizard always replies in thetongue he uses most. While the spell is in ef-fect, all the wizard can do is answer questionswithout ending the spell. The spell can beended at any time, simply by willing it to end.

For example: a wizard casts Understandingon a dragon attacking a town, and learns (byESP and Empathy) that it is angry and plansto destroy the town. The wizard’s apprenticeasks the wizard why the dragon is attacking,allowing the wizard to probe the dragon’smemories, and to discover some humans stolethe dragon’s eggs. The wizard lets the spellend, to try to bargain with the dragon.❊

Vander’s Librarian (Conjuration/Sum-moning)

Range: 20 mComponents: V, SDuration: 6 hoursCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One minor spiritSaving Throw: None

This spell conjures a minor knowledge spiritto search for books and references for the wiz-ard. It can search for titles, specific references,or general subject matter, finding books in thetime it would take a reasonably skilled librar-ian (depends on case). The wizard is freed toconcentrate on more interesting matters, sothis spell roughly doubles a wizard’s researchefficiency.❊

Vandergast’s Forcetrap (Invocation/Evocation)

Range: 5 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

When this spell is cast, a shimmering, bluebolt shoots from the caster’s finger towards thetarget; when the target is struck, the bolt erupts

- 72 -


into multiple bands of force that envelop thevictim. If a successful save vs. spell is made,the spell dissipates and has no effect; other-wise, the bands of force will render the targetcompletely immobile by normal means, as hishands, feet, etc. will be snugly bound. The tar-get may still levitate or employ other means ofmagical movement, but may not walk, castspells requiring a somatic component, or fight.Any size target may be affected by this spell.

The bands of force may not be harmed byweapons or most spells, but may be dispelled;a Wish or Limited Wish will also destroy thebands. The only other way to escape the bandsis to roll a successful bend bars check. Thevictim may make one such attempt eachround; in addition, *one* attempt may be madeeach round from an external source; if anyonetouches the bands after the first external bendbars attempt (including another bend bars at-tempt, striking the bands with a weapon, etc.)the person touching the bands is immediatelytrapped as well, with no save. If two or morepersons are trapped by this spell, each earnsa bend bars roll each round; however, no ex-ternal attempts may be made, or that personwill also become trapped. In any case, if a bendbars roll is successful, the bands break, andthe spells ends immediately.❊

Vanquil’s Backbiter (Abjuration, Evo-cation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration:Casting Time: 2 roundsArea of Effect: The wizardSaving Throw: None

Vanquil’s Backbiter is a way of protectingagainst a thief’s backstab attack. The spell istriggered when any non-missile, non-energy(i.e., magic, psionics, breath weapon, etc.) hitsthe wizard from behind without his knowledge.A backstabbing thief or an invisible or silencedfighter counts, so long as the wizard is sur-prised. The spell is considered activated whenthe weapon of such a person comes within 8cm of the wizard’s back. Activation requires nothought or effort from the wizard, but the Back-biter cannot be consciously activated. Whenactivated, the spell instantly creates a briefStoneskin effect on the wizard’s back, prevent-ing the weapon from doing any damage (onthe first attack). It then releases a burst of en-ergy missiles (similar to a Magic Missile) at thebackstabber, causing 1d2 hp of damage perlevel (up to a maximum of 10d2). The energymissiles never miss, and a Shield or ProtectionFrom Normal Missiles will not prevent damage.Duration is 4 hours plus 1 hour/level or until thespell is discharges.

Only one Backbiter can be in effect at anyone time. If another is cast before the first isused, it is lost.

The material components are a small dia-mond of any size and the eyes of a commonhousefly.

Vanquil’s Cellular Regeneration(Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 4 roundsCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

Cellular Regeneration is a spell that in-creases the growth rate of the body’s varioustissues, causing them to mend together faster.Once the recipient is touched, the spell beginsto work, restoring damage according to thetable below:

RoundRoundRoundRoundRound HealingHealingHealingHealingHealing

1 1 hp of damage2 1d4 hp of damage3 1d4 hp of damage4 1 hp of damage

If the recipient performs any strenuous ac-tivity during the spell duration (like combat,casting spells over third level, or using a psionicpower that requires a Constitution check), thespell is immediately aborted. All hit points aregained at the end of the appropriate round.Due to the stress of regeneration, this spellcannot be cast more than once per person forincreased healing. For the spell to be effectiveagain, the recipient must take more damage.

The material component is a piece of trollflesh that has been burned in acid.

Note: this spell is intended to give wizardssome curative abilities, not to replace priests.The spell is much less powerful that theequivalent Cure Serious Wound, both in termsof damage and limitations. I would suggest thatDM’s limit the spell to be useful to a singleperson only once per day (regardless of inju-ries). If you wish to increase the level of thespell, that’s up to you. I would not recommendbanning it - unless all the NPC necromancersin your world are murderous scum with anobsession for dead things.❊

Vanquil’s Iceball (Evocation or Conju-ration)

Range: 100 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 6 m radius sphereSaving Throw: ½

There are actually 2 different Iceball spells:an evocation version and a conjuration version.Both versions do 1d6 hp of damage per level,up to 10d6 of damage, with a saving throw forhalf damage. The area of effect is a sphere witha 6 m radius. The spells differ as follows:

Evocation version: The spell drains thermalenergy from the affected area, producing in-tense cold. There is no pressure caused by theIceball, so unlike a Fireball, the chilled areaconforms to the surroundings (like Snilloc’s

Snowball Swarm). Therefore, it can be used inconfined areas without the danger of a back-fire. The evocation Iceball will freeze all ex-posed liquids and, if cast underwater, will cre-ate a 12 m diameter ball of ice (creatures in-side the area may save vs. paralyzation toavoid entrapment). The ball of ice will immedi-ately float to the surface. Creatures immune tocold take no damage from this version.

Conjuration version: This version draws forthice and cold from the para-elemental plane ofice, causing a destructive blast of ice. Theconjured Iceball will not conform to its sur-roundings, and will expand to its full area ofeffect, just like a Fireball. Underwater, this ver-sion does only 1d4 points of damage per level,and does not create any large pieces of ice.Fragile objects (vials, mirrors, etc) must save vs.crushing blow to survive the ice barrage. Crea-tures immune to cold will still take 1d2 hp ofphysical damage per level (unless immune tonormal missiles). Because this version ac-cesses an elemental plane, it will not functionwhile spelljamming in the Flow or in other situ-ations where access to the elemental planesis cut off.❊

Vanquil’s Lightshed (Alteration)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, SDuration: 1 turn/level or until used upCasting Time: 3 roundsArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

Lightshed is a spell that creates multipleContinual Light spheres, one per level. Thewizard can create one Continual Light sphereper round, and can take any actions while thespell is in effect (except cast other spells).Continual Light spheres can be created asoften as the wizard wishes, up to the spell’slimits. The spheres created by Lightshed arepermanent and essentially the same as Con-tinual Light, but Lightshed cannot be usedagainst a living creature (attempting to do sowill end the spell).

Lightshed was created so that a wizardcould quickly and easily “cast” multiple Con-tinual Light spells per day, without wastingevery second-level spell available. This spell isalso useful for wizards who wish to earn moneyby lighting up local castles or dungeons, sincethe “average” price of a Continual Light is 50GP per sphere.❊

Vanquil’s Milling Crowd (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 5 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: 5 rounds/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

Milling Crowd summons people to enter acrowd and interact with the people in the crowd.The conjured people can try to impart oneopinion or emotion of the wizard’s choosing,

- 73 -

Mage Spells Fifth Level

thus changing the crowd’s mood or opinion.Thus, a group of angry protesters could bemade to riot, become less violent, or protest adifferent (but related) topic. The spell summonsone “person” per level, who can only be usedto influence crowd reactions. Any attempts bythe wizard to attack the summoned people,use them as barriers, or use the in any way notassociated with interaction will terminate thespell immediately. The people will be of thesame racial mix as the crowd they must infil-trate (a crowd of 75% humans and 25%gnomes would result in 75% of the summonedpeople to be human, 25% to be gnomish).

The spell can influence a crowd in one of twoways: it can either change the reaction adjust-ment of the crowd by one factor, or it can beused to give the crowd another direction. Forexample, Milling Crowd can either make agroup more hostile or less hostile, or it canchange the group’s focus in some minor way.If the group wanted to hang someone at noon,the spell could “suggest” an alternate meansof execution, or a change in the time of execu-tion, etc.

The saving throw for the crowd uses theaverage hit dice for the saving throw vs. spell.If the wizard is trying to influence reactions, thecrowd has a -3 penalty on the saving throw. Ifthe spell is trying to give the crowd other ideas,the saving throw is made without penalty. De-pending on the nature of crowd and their fo-cus of attention, it is not unreasonable to havesaving throw modifiers from +5 to -5 (rangingfrom agreement with the wizard’s purpose toconsiderable opposition). The spell is not guar-anteed to work if it encounters some form ofabsolute resistance (for example, a local cus-tom dictating the means and time of execu-tion). If the crowd makes its saving throw, it isunaffected. If the roll is a natural 20, the crowdis aware of attempts to manipulate it. It is im-portant to note that the spell does not directlyaffect the crowd in any way, so magic resist-ance is useless and spells like Detect Charmwill reveal nothing.❊

View Past (Divination)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 hourArea of Effect: 5 m/level radius areaSaving Throw: None

When this spell is cast on an area, it allowsthe caster to create a three-dimensional imageof the past in that location. The caster speci-fies the time in the past through the use of thematerial component.

Ten gold pieces worth of gold dust is re-quired for each hour back into the past thecaster wishes to go. Thus, if the caster uses240 GP worth of dust, then he will be able toview the period from 24 hours to the end of theduration of the spell (e.g., if the caster was 10thlevel, then the duration of the spell would befrom 24 hours in the past to 22 hours and 20minutes into the past).

After the spell has been cast, the DM rolls2D10 - 11 to determine the error in the timeframe in turns from the specified time.

The caster should roll 1D20 to determine theclarity of the casting. A die roll of one indicatesthat the scene comes through as shadows ina fog. A die roll of 20 indicates a crystal clearpicture. This roll can be repeated in subsequentcastings, and represents the difficulty in see-ing through time.

Both the following dice rolls can be modifiedby the casters desire based on the followingmodifiers:

Modific.:Modific.:Modific.:Modific.:Modific.: Situation:Situation:Situation:Situation:Situation:

+10 caster participated in theevent

+6 caster very well informed inevent

+4 caster knows an exact quoteduring the event

+2 caster knows something thatwas said at the time

Events that are cloaked by spells that hidethemselves from Clairvoyance also mask outView Past, and thus cannot be seen by thisspell.❊

Wax Impressions (Enchantment)

Range: 0Components: V, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: As far as the sound carriesSaving Throw: None

To cast the spell, the wizard places a lengthof waxed string and some copper coins (thematerial components of this spell) in a clothbag and casts the spell. All the sound heardafter the spell is cast, during a time interval of1 minute per copper coin is “recorded” on thestring. The wizard can record on one string perlevel.

Burning the string will release the sounds inthe same order, frequency, and decibel rangein which they were recorded.❊

Wind Blast (Alteration, Enchantment)

Range: 9 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: 3 dm³/levelSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a wall of wind. The wallmoves forward at a base movement rate of twotimes the wizard’s level. The wall will rip all loosematerials along with it. This wall will pull alongleaves, papers, twigs, small flying creatures,loose tapestry, and will cause an opponent toloose balance on a 3 in 6 (depending on sizeand weight). The wall of wind puts out fires in

its path and will stop nearly any sort of breathweapon or similar area effect spell or spell-likeeffect.

If cast in an enclosed area it will cause anexplosion (DM discretion on damage). If castat a door, it will likely blow the door down andcause an explosion (treat as Strength = levelof the wizard). When cast in an enclosed area,remember that walls and ceilings may collapseand cause further damage. If two walls of windhappen to be cast at each other add the lev-els of the wizards and roll 1d6 per level fordamage as an explosion reducing in damageby 10 hit points per 1.50 m from impact. The wallof wind will last for 1 round per four levels of thewizard.

Continual Fly (Enchantment)


This spell functions as the third-level Fly spellexcept that the duration applies to time actu-ally spent flying, not time elapsed since thecasting of the spell. E.g., you can fly for a totalof 1d6 turns + 1 turn/level. You can use half theduration today and the other half tomorrow.❊

Continual Invisibility (Illusion)


This spell causes the subject to becomeinvisible, as per the second-level Invisibilityspell, except that instead of having a durationof 24 hours, it has a duration of 1 turn per levelof the wizard of actual use e.g. if cast at tenthlevel, the subject could decide to use 50 min-utes worth today and the other 50 minutesworth tomorrow. Note that this is not ImprovedInvisibility, i.e. as soon as the subject makes anattack he becomes visible again. While he canbecome invisible next round if there is stillunused duration in the spell, his opponent canmake an attack on him; thus the spell confersno combat advantage after the first round.❊

Continual Secret Light (Alteration)

Range: 60 mComponents: V, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 20-foot radiusSaving Throw: Special

This spell acts the same, compared to Con-tinual Light as Secret Light does compared toLight. Preliminary research seems to indicatethe spell requires at least an ounce of bloodfrom the wizard.

It also seems that it would be possible tomake a magical lantern, whose light would onlybe visible to the person holding it. The exactprocess of its manufacture is not very clear,however, and the spell has been reported tofail regularly.❊

Detect Spell (Divination)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: 30 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

Spell casting leaves a magical residue in thesurrounding area which this spell is designedto detect. When the spell is cast, the caster canexamine any spell that was cast in this area upto limit of 1 week in the past per level of thecaster.

One spell can be examined per round, withthe spells being detected in reverse chrono-logical order. The information obtained aboutthe spell is as follows:

• When cast• School of magic• Location and area of effect• Relative level of spell• Casting time and duration• Relative level of caster• Means of casting• Possible means of casting include from

memory, from a scroll, and from a natu-ral power.

If the caster needs to examine spells fartherback in the past, then the spell can be re-peated within one day, and the caster can pickup where he left off.❊

Dheryth’s Stone Integrity (Abjura-tion)Reversible

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: 1 yearCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One 6 m cube/levelSaving Throw: None

This spell, cast upon a volume of rock, pre-vents the correct operation of the TransmuteRock to Mud spell in the following way:

1. If the caster of Stone Integrity is a higherlevel than the caster of Transmute Rock to Mud,the latter spell automatically fails.

2. If the caster of Transmute Rock to Mud isa level equal to or higher than the caster ofStone Integrity, the former spell has a chanceof correctly operating equal to 10% plus 10%per level that the former wizard is higher thanthe latter. Even if Transmute Rock to Mud works,its area of effect is reduced to a percentageequal to its chance of working. For instance, ifTransmute Rock to Mud has only a 30%chance to work (and does), its area of effectis only 30% of what it should have been. StoneIntegrity grants no other bonuses to the rockand may be dispelled.

The reverse of this spell is Earth Integrity, andprevents the operation of Transmute Mud toRock in a manner like above.❊

On casting the Greenfire spell, a bolt ofgreen luminescence appears from the magesfingers, and impacts on the target (a madesaving throw means the bolt missed the target,but it hit somewhere...). From this impact point,a green sphere begins to grow, at a rate de-pending on the material consumed. Items inthis area of effect must save vs. disintegrationevery 1/10 round. Items that save halt theprogress of the sphere until they fail their save.Note: the spell expands for a set time, not to aset radius, so an artifact that continues to savewill halt the growth of the sphere for the fullduration of the spell.

Rate of growth:6 m per 1/10 round (yes, 6 m) in air alone:

(not an aerial weapon), but as soon as it hitssomething solid, it will take a 1/10 round to con-sume it.

The second version of the spell has a 3 mradius instead of the normal 6 m. Due to thisreduced area of effect, damage is increasedto 1d10 per level of the caster (up to a maxi-mum of 10d10) and saving throws are at -2. Itis like a Fireball spell in all other respects.

Jamye’s Armour Reversal (Abjura-tion)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: Special

This spell reverses the effects of armourworn (or lack thereof) on the subject touched,in the sense that melee attacks that wouldhave normally hit the subject will miss, andmelee attacks that would have normallymissed the subject will hit. For example, an AC5 mage that has cast Armour Reversal on him-self is attacked by a 10th-level fighter. Thefighter would normally need a 6 or better to hitAC 5; with this spell in effect, the fighter needsa 5 or *less* to hit AC 5. Note that this spell ismore useful as the amount of armour the sub-ject has on decreases!

All bonuses “to hit” that the opponent haswork in the opponent’s favour, i.e. if the afore-mentioned fighter had a Strength of 17 (+1 “tohit”) and a +2 weapon, these would be *sub-tracted* from the die roll -thus the fighter wouldneed an 8 or less to hit AC 5. Likewise, penal-ties are added to the die roll, penalizing theattacker as usual.

This spell does not affect missile weaponsat all, nor does it affect spell saving throws oranything other than melee weapon attacks. Ifthe subject of the spell is willing to have thespell cast upon him, there is no saving throw;otherwise the subject saves as usual. The spellcan be counteracted by the usual means (Dis-pel Magic, et al.), by another casting of ArmourReversal, or by the 7th-level spell Jamye’s Im-proved Armour Reversal (q.v.).

The material components of this spell are asmall magnet and a diamond of not less than100 GP value.❊

Kalessin’s Long Arm (Conjuration)


This spell allows the caster to cast variousspells requiring physical contact at range. Thecaster must have a clear view of the creatureto be “touched”, and there can be no obstruc-tions between target and caster.

To use this spell, the caster first casts LongArm, then whatever spell he wants to do atrange, in the following round. If the caster isdisturbed following the casting of Long Arm,the spell is ruined. Disturbance could be any-thing from heavy jostling, to actually takingdamage. If the target moves out of sight beforethe caster can get off the second spell, thespell is ruined. The target gets regular savingthrows for the second spell.

Kestrel’s Skill Eraser (Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: Person touchedSaving Throw: Negates

This spell makes a character completelyforget a single weapon or nonweapon profi-ciency. The character thus affected forgets anyknowledge about and loses any abilitiesgranted by that particular proficiency, and mayelect either to relearn that proficiency or to learna new one. This learning process, however,takes the remainder of that character’s presentlevel. Basically, he will gain a proficiency slotwhen he attains his next level.

Each application of this spell only affects asingle proficiency slot. For example, if a char-acter had specialized in a weapon, the first useof the spell would erase the benefits of speciali-zation but not the proficiency, and another useof the spell could then be used to erase theproficiency. Similarly, a proficiency requiring twoslots (i.e., healing) would only be reduced tohalf its normal ability check through a singleuse of this spell.

Use of this spell on an unwilling recipientrequires a successful to hit roll, and the sub-ject still receives a saving throw vs. the spell.A priest’s Restoration spell or a Wish can re-store the lost proficiency slot immediately.

The material component is a leaf from a rub-ber plant, which must be rubbed on the per-son to be affected.❊

A lightning curtain is also attracted to nearbymetal objects; anyone wearing or carryingsuch an item will be “sparked” by the wall if sheapproaches to within 1.5 m of the electricalplane. Such a “spark” inflicts 1d8 points ofdamage upon the unlucky victim. The wizardwho creates the lightning curtain can cause itto a part for him alone, and the lightning cur-tain will not “spark” him during this time.

The lightning curtain is fairly transparent,allowing persons on opposite sides of it to seeeach other. In addition, the glow of the lightningis sufficient to illuminate the area on either sideof it up to a distance of 3 m. Spells and mis-siles may be cast through the lightning curtain,but at all missiles must successfully save vs.electricity or be destroyed. The lightning cur-tain will not hinder any spells except for elec-trical attacks, which it will absorb.

When a Mist’s hit points reach 0 on the primematerial plane, the creature is not killed, but issent back to it own plane. Killing it on its ownplane does kill it.

Note that “friendly”refers to the perception of the wizard; thus, aparty member who was secretly planning tostab the wizard in the back would still receiveprotection from the spell.❊

Nightmare (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 1 mileComponents: V, S, MDuration: 8 hoursCasting Time: 1 turn/levelArea of Effect: One creature/2 levelsSaving Throw: Negates

This dreadful spell causes its victims to suf-fer from wrecking nightmares the night after itis cast, robbing them of any benefit of sleep. Asave vs. death negates the spell’s effect.

If the save is failed, the victim must makeanother save each following night with a +2cumulative bonus to avoid recurrences. Oncea successful save has been made, the night-mares cease. Since the recurring nightmaresare nonmagical, the victim gets the equivalentof 1 hour of sleep per 2 hours.

If another nightmare spell is cast on a vic-tim before he has successfully saved againstrecurrences, he must save at -4, with this pen-alty being applied against his subsequentsaves. This penalty is non-cumulative, i.e. ad-ditional castings will not increase the penaltyto worse than -4.

This spell enables the wizard to impregnatethe recipient, be it man, women, or beast, witheither

* the prodigy of the wizard, or * a type I or IImonster of choice.

The impregnation forms anywhere on thecreature, just under the skin. Over a period ofone month the impregnation grows causinggreat pain to the recipient. The damage is 1 hpper day for the first 23 days and 2 hp per dayfor the next 4 days. On the 28th day the im-pregnation breaks through the skin of the spellrecipient, doing 5d4 hp damage, and appearsas an infant of the creature chosen.

Physically removing the impregnation pre-maturely instantly kills it but also does 4d4 hpdamage to the recipient. Dispel evil cast in thefirst week of impregnation will eliminate theeffect.

The wizard needs to know only the name ofthe recipient and must possess some materialof the type of creature being created and somematerial that was possessed by the spell re-cipient (with includes hair, etc.) within 24 hoursof casting.


Ouija Board (Divination, Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1d10 roundsArea of Effect: One corpseSaving Throw: Special

By means of this spell the wizard and a co-caster may vocally ask questions of the spiritof a dead creature and receive answersthrough the ouija board according to the knowl-edge of that creature. Unwilling spirits mayattempt to fight the power of the ouija boardand may save versus spell as they would havesaved just before they died, and willing spiritswill not be able to find the ouija board 10% ofthe time (-1% for every ten years dead).

The ouija board is an oval slab of polishedwood upon which are carved the numbers andletters of a writing system. In the first round thisspell is cast, the carvings on the board willchange to represent the letters and numbersof the writing system of the creature beingcalled. Note that at least one of the wizards willneed to read that language in order to under-stand the spirits answers. Also on the board arethe words “yes” and “no” for answering simplequestions quickly. These are always in thesame location, so a wizard asking a spirit yes/no questions need not converse in that spirit’slanguage. While both wizards hold oppositeends of a mithril triangle to the face of theboard in which a hollow circle is inscribed, thespirit pushes the hollowed circle over the de-sired symbols.

If two or more necromancers use the ouijaboard together, the wizard’s level is treated asthe sum of both. Otherwise, the co-caster isignored, though this individual must also be awizard.

Occasionally, the spirit may be yanked fromthe board by another, or may grow disinter-ested in the conversation. The chance that aspirit will “stay with it” for each minute of con-versation is (10*level)% for the first minuteminus a cumulative 10% for each additional

minute. Long dead creatures will be more dif-ficult to contact and keep “on-line” once con-tacted.

Having a part of the skeleton of the creaturebeing contacted or being at the place of deathor main place of living or place of burial alsohelps somewhat (+50% for contact and stay-ing).

As a final note, it should be remembered thatthe ouija board is a powerful magical item link-ing the prime-material plane to the variousspirit domains including the plane of the dead.Powerful spirits have been known to use sucha board as an exit from their final places ofrest.❊

Pilpin’s Power (Enchantment)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: Person touchedSaving Throw: None

Pilpin, a greedy and jealous individual, sawthat priests could imbue spells upon their fol-lowers. He decided that this ability could beused to increase his personal power and reach,as it has. This spell allows the wizard to trans-fer a number of spells, and the ability to castthem, to a another person. Only non-wizards(including rangers under eighth level and pala-dins under ninth) with a minimum Intelligenceof 9 and at least one hit die can receive thisenchantment. The number and level of thespells transferred depends on the recipient’slevel as follows:

Level ofLevel ofLevel ofLevel ofLevel ofRecipientRecipientRecipientRecipientRecipient Spells transferSpells transferSpells transferSpells transferSpells transferrrrrrededededed

1st or 2nd One first-level spells3rd or 4th Two first-level spells5th or 6th Two first- and one second-

level spells7th+ Two first- and two second-

level spells

Only spells with casting times up to 1 roundcan be transferred (i.e., Find Familiar, Identify,Leomund’s Trap, Strength, etc. cannot be trans-ferred). The transferred spells variable charac-teristics (range, duration, area of effect, etc.)function according to the level of the wizardoriginally transferring the spell.

A wizard who transfers spells to anothercreature loses the number of spells he hastransferred until the recipient casts the trans-ferred spells or is slain. For example, a ninth-level wizard with four first- and three second-level spells transfers Magic Missile, CharmPerson, and Invisibility to a sixth-level thief. Thewizard can now have only two first- and twosecond-level spells until the thief casts someof the transferred spells. If the thief casts MagicMissile and Invisibility, the wizard can now havethree first- and all his second-level spells(three).

The casting time is 1 turn plus 1 round forevery spell transferred.

The material components are a drop of thewizard’s and recipient’s blood.❊

The Contingency Trigger functions identi-cally to the third level Rathe’s Trigger spell, withone exception: a condition may be applied tothe triggering of the spell (for instance, “trig-ger only if a man wearing green enters thearea”, or “trigger if anything made of gold en-ters the area”). Note however that the spell’s“perception” is restricted to the area of effect.The spell cannot perceive intangibles such asclass, level, or alignment.

Sanh’s Sunray (Evocation)


Sanh’s Sunray is a special spell designed foruse against undead and other foul creaturesof darkness. This ray exactly matches the ra-

diation mix of pure sunlight; it inflicts 1d4 hitpoints per level of the wizard against livingbeings, not all that impressive at first glance.Undead and other negative matter creaturesfare far worse, sustaining a whopping 1d12 perlevel of the wizard.Saving Throws are the same as per Sanh’s Rayof Light, except that undead save at -4, andundead which are specifically harmed by sun-light suffer the effects of 1 round in the sun perlevel of the wizard in lieu of a normal damageroll (unless, of course, the normal roll would bemore damaging). For fumbled saves, the vic-tim loses one eye, is blinded for 1d6 roundsfollowed by 2d6 rounds in a dazzled state. Thereason this is so is because of the largeamount of ultraviolet light in the ray. Since onlythe source of the light, not the light itself ismagical, magic resistance is ineffective againstthis spell.❊

Sarius’ Ethereal Transfer (Alteration,Enchantment)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

By means of this spell, a mage is able tocause one creature of his current size class toenter the ethereal plane. Once there, the crea-ture is empowered to exit through any borderethereal curtains onto one of the elementalplanes or the prime material plane unless itwas an unwilling victim of this spell and failedto make its saving throw, although a success-ful Dispel Magic cast on the creature (in a bor-der ethereal curtain) will cause it to exit throughthe border ethereal. Otherwise, the creature isstuck in the ethereal plane until it can find an-other way to transfer from the border etherealinto an elemental or prime material plane.

For every 2 levels of experience over 9thlevel a mage may touch an additional personof his size class and transfer him into the ethe-real plane. The classes are tiny, small, medium,large, huge, and gargantuan. If the caster is ofmedium size he has each touch slot equal to3 tiny, 2 small, 1 medium, 1/2 large, 1/4 huge,and 1/6 gargantuan size classes. Therefore, hewould need 6 slots (i.e., be a 19th level mage)to cast a gargantuan creature into the etherealplane.

Note that a creature’s wisdom bonus or pen-alty against mind effecting spells modifies itssaving throw when it is an unwilling recipientagainst this spell unless it is currently voluntar-ily allowing another spell to be cast upon it, inwhich case it is allowed no saving throw.

The material component of this spell is nor-mally a small piece of cockatrice flesh, butalmost any animal with sensory powers whichextend into the ethereal plane will work.


Sarius’ Golden Stars of Protection(Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: One floating 0.6 m high

star plate/levelSaving Throw: None

This spell creates golden, shimmering, star-shaped plates of force which move around thecaster in a constant motion, deflecting any mis-sile, hand, or weapon attacks directed at thecaster. The Armour Class of the mage is im-proved by a factor of 1 for every three stars stillactive and any successful physical melee at-tack (including boulders, ballista, or attackforms similar to a dragon’s belly flop manoeu-vre) will be deflected automatically. Creaturesof size L (or larger) who are deflected must stillland somewhere, possibly injuring friend or foe.Non-missile attacks by creatures with an effec-tive strength of 25 require a saving throw ver-sus breath weapons to deflect.

Each star is able to sustain 10 hit points ofdamage before disrupting, so if a deflected at-tack does not cause enough damage to dis-rupt a star (chosen randomly) the star will re-main active. For every 5 stars active, the effectsof breath weapons directed at the caster willbe reduced by 1 hit point per damage die, withtotal protection from breath attacks becominga possibility, though, unless the breath weaponcauses less damage than the current hit pointsof a star it will assuredly disrupt the entire fieldof stars in the process.

While the stars orbit the mage he is at a -1to hit penalty for every star active whenever ato hit roll is needed, including spells. The magemay create fewer stars than the maximum pos-sible. Also, the mage may choose to release upto three stars per round at up to three differentopponents no far ther away from the casterthan 5 m per level and who are in his line ofsight. Released stars act and attack as MagicMissiles and should be considered triplestrength versions of a normal Magic Missile fordefensive considerations. A star (chosen ran-domly from the remaining stars) will do dam-age equal to its current hit points.

The material component(s) of this spell is asingle gold piece for every five-pointed starcreated. All pieces are thrown into the air wherethey disappear and are replaced by the float-ing stars.

Ifused in this manner, the spell expires after theFireball is used, or after 1 round per level of thecaster has passed (if not used in that time, thespell dissipates, and has no effect).

Alternately, the caster may employ a numberof lesser effects: if the staff scores a hit in com-bat, the staff will discharge a burst of flamesthat will engulf the target; these flames inflict1d4 points of damage, plus 1 point per level ofthe caster (up to a maximum of 1d4+20). Asuccessful save vs. spell reduces the damageby one half; if the save fails, all possessionsmust save vs. magical fire, or be consumed.The staff may be used in this manner once perfive levels of the caster (to a maximum of 4times). If the staff misses its targets, no chargeis used (nor may the caster elect to do so); acharge is used only if a hit is scored.

Sonoric’s Superior Minions (Conju-ration/Summoning, Divination)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour + 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell summons a major etherling, fromthe Ethereal Plane, to do the caster’s bidding.Major Etherlings are fairly intelligent, althoughthey still suffer from summoner-awe. The cas-ter summons one etherling per five levels, forexample two at sixth, three at eleventh, etc. Thesummoned etherlings are eager to serve thecaster, and they are capable of more compli-cated tasks than their lesser brethren.

A major etherling (AC: 0, MV: 60, HD: 4, #AT:2, D: 1-3/1-3, INT: 12) is a man-sized, transpar-ent, humanoid-appearing creature, formed ofthe stuff of the plane ethereal. It has some con-trol over its appearance on the Prime Materialplane, although, regardless of form, they haveblurry outlines, and are partially transparent. Italso moves by flight, although it is sophisti-cated enough to give the illusion of walking.Being mostly on the ethereal plane, it is ableto pass through solid objects, save lead, thetouch of which, if it fails a save versus para-lysation, returns it to the Ethereal plane, can-celling the spell. Major etherlings are fairly in-telligent, and have a 20% chance of knowingany specific minor lore, although it will answersuch a question only once. A major etherlingwill be stricken with extreme respect for thesummoner, and will attempt to follow the spiritof its commands to the best of its ability. It hasthe ability to turn small items, of less than tenpounds in weight, ethereal, allowing it to trans-port the item. It may only carry one such itemat a time, however. It too has a photographicmemory.

Major etherlings are capable of performingcomplicated tasks, and can grasp abstractconcepts. Once given a task, it will remain onthe Prime Material plane until the task is com-plete, or its time runs out. One advantage themajor etherling possess over its lesser breth-ren. However, its ability to move into the Ethe-real Plane, and return to the Prime Materialplane, essentially teleporting. It is also capa-ble of completing tasks on the Ethereal plane,as well as the Prime Material. Again, an intelli-gence check is required for particularly bafflingproblems encountered in its task, and if thetask is rendered somehow incompletable, andthe etherling makes it INT check, it will returnto the caster, and inform him of the problem,before returning to the ethereal plane (forgood).

Being dual-plane beings, they are only hit bymagic weapons, and spells. The material com-ponents of this spell are jade figurines, one foreach etherling to be summoned.❊

This is a much improved version of the firstlevel Magic User spell Sleep. The creatures af-fected fall into a deep slumber from which theycannot awaken from for at least one turn (un-less a dispel magic is used).

For each creature the caster chooses to af-fect, a certain amount of the spells power isused to put the creature to sleep. An effect dieroll of 4-48 is rolled. This is the number of pointsthat can be used to put creatures to sleep. Ittakes a different number of points per creatureto put a creature to sleep, depending upon itshit dice or level. The caster can keep on puttingcreatures to sleep until all the points are usedup, or there is not enough points left to effectanother creature, or that all the creatures arealready asleep in the area of effect.

Taint Alignment (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/level or specialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One humanoid creatureSaving Throw: Special

Taint alignment has similar effect to a char-acter as performing a deed opposite to hisalignment, except that this one shows. Castingit requires knowing the true name of the target,which knowledge can be obtained by othermagic. Casting the spell causes the target tomake a saving throw vs. spells with a penaltyof 2 on die roll. If he makes the save, the spellrebounds on the caster, who shall also have tosave, but with a bonus of 2 on die. The spellshall rebound between the two regardless ofdistance until one fails a save, or both havemade three saves, in which case the spell fails.An affected TN character would get a randomalignment of the corner 4.

Effects vary depending on the alignment ofthe victim. If the affected is a paladin, the ef-fects thus far taken for granted are reversed:laying on hands would cause damage, detectevil turns into detect good, remove fear effectinto cause fear. Yet, the paladin might have noidea what’s happening until he tries to ride hismount or draw his Holy Avenger +5. For an anti-paladin, the same goes, reversed. A clericwould instantly lose the ability to acquire spells,though not his spell casting or scroll readingability. For any character, there’s a number ofstandard effects:

• Know Alignment shows the reversedalignment.• Detect Good/Evil work as for the newalignment.• Bad dreams.• Problems with other people.• The Good emit fear, the Evil get liked,• Law be approached with caution,Chaos be felt as a sign of responsibility• Temples of one’s own religion feel bad.• Temptation to truly switch alignmentfully, which would have the certain standardeffects described in DMG, such as losing alevel of experience. a change in alignmentcan be felt by people in contact with theaffected. Not definitely, but more in the “Ifeel something’s wrong”-manner.

The curse cannot be magically removed withanything less than a Limited Wish, until the timeis full. Of course, the target wouldn’t know thatthe effect isn’t permanent..

If a sign of faltering from the original align-ment is done, then the effect does becomepermanent. Slight faltering causes prolongedduration, as the energy of the spell isn’t asseriously tried as it might be.❊

Timespeed (Alteration, Enchantment)

Range: 9 mComponents: V, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: One creature/2 levels in a

6 m squareSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to a Haste spell, but in-stead of speeding up the recipients’ metabolicreactions, Timespeed alters the flow of timearound the recipients. As a result, for everyminute that passes in the real world, 2 minutespasses for those affected. Because time itselfis being changed, those affected by this spelldo not age. On the downside, all spells or spelleffects cast on the recipients of a Timespeedonly last half as long (going by “real world”time), regardless of whether or not they werecast before or during the Timespeed. Themaintenance cost of psionic powers that affectonly the psionicist is doubled as well. Wizardscast spells as if they were under the influenceof an Alacrity spell (Tome of Magic).

The material components are two clockfaces painted on slate, one an hour ahead ofthe other. These are consumed during thecasting.❊

Tonguetwister (Abjuration, Alteration)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: One targetSaving Throw: Negates

When this spell is cast on an enemy spell-caster, it will cause the target’s tongue to twitchviolently, thus disrupting any spell being castat the moment, unless the victim makes a suc-cessful save vs. spell. The level of the spellbeing cast by the target determines the modi-fier applied to the save as follows: save modi-fier = spell level -5 (i.e. a 2nd level spell inflictsa -3 to the save, a 7th level spell earns a +2 tothe save, etc.).

The victim must be in the process of cast-ing a spell with a *verbal* component. If nospell is currently being cast by the target, theTonguetwister has no effect. If the opponent’sspell goes into effect at the same time as theTonguetwister, the victim earns an additional+2 bonus to the save. This spell cannot affecta spell that has already been cast, nor one thatis to be cast in the future.

The material component of this spell is atongue of any creature; this is consumed whenthe spell is cast.❊

This spell is a cold-based version of Cloud-kill, creating a light grey cloud that leaves frostin its wake. It functions just like a Cloudkill,except that damage comes from cold, makingfire based creatures more vulnerable to thespell (treat them as having 2 fewer hit dice, andthey automatically take double damage). Crea-tures who fail their saving throws by 4 or moreare encased in a thin layer of ice (about 5 mm).Those who make their saving throws still takeappropriate damage (1d10).

Wolldin’s Backstabber (Illusion/Phan-tasm)

Range: 6 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell requires the presence of any pierc-ing melee weapon in order to work; the casterholds the weapon, and when the incantationsare complete, the weapon vanishes and reap-pears in the hands of an invisible spectral crea-ture. A True Seeing or Detect Invisible spell, orsimilar magic will reveal the vague outline of afigure; others will only see the weapon hover-ing in the air.

The figure (and weapon) will appear behindthe creature chosen as the target for this spell(the target must be within spell range); it willthen deliver an instantaneous backstab at thevictim. The caster’s normal THAC0 is used toresolved hits (all applicable bonuses apply nor-mally, including the bonus for attacking frombehind); the attack is always made with sur-prise (unless it is normally impossible to sur-prise the target) and therefore, dexterity andshield bonuses to AC do not apply to the at-tack.

In the case of a successful hit, the basedamage is as per the weapon used in the at-tack; however the attack also receives a back-stab damage bonus as if made by a thief of alevel equal to the caster’s level; normal dam-age bonuses also apply to the attack.

Alter Occurrence (Conjuration/Sum-moning, Invocation/Evocation)

Range: InfiniteComponents: VDuration: PermanentCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell is a weaker version of the 7th levelwizard spell Limited Wish. Alter Occurrenceenables the wizard to alter the way an event inthe very recent past actually occurred. For thecasting of the spell, the wizard recounts anevent which occurred up to two rounds previ-ous which he viewed first-hand. The wizard,while recounting the incident, modifies it in theway which he would have liked for it to occur.At the end of the casting, the past will berewoven along the lines of the caster’s version,by a base guideline of 3% per level of thecaster. (For instance, Johann, a 12th level wiz-ard, uses the spell to make a freak gust of windblow an arrow totally off course which shot hiscompanion Rykor in the heart a few secondsago — a critical hit. Johann has a 36% chanceto make the arrow miss, else it still hits doingregular damage. If Johann had asked for thearrow to have missed Rykor’s heart, it mighthave still hit Rykor but would have done only100 - 36 = 64% of the designated damage.)

This spell will automatically modify the per-ceptions of the past for all of those, other thanthe caster, who were present during both themodified and unmodified events unless theymake a saving throw vs. spells. Alter Occur-rence cannot be used to raise character abili-ties (even temporarily) or mimic other magicaleffects. Frequent use of this spell may causethe wizard to go insane; make an INT checkwith a cumulative -1 penalty each time the spellis used by the same caster over a one weekperiod, or suffer a random type of insanity.

Alter Occurrence is a spell published by thewizard Saridan Hysakai after over a decade ofstudy (an unknown amount of which was spentat the Plane of Time). Saridan subsequentlywent insane.❊

Bonebind (Necromancy)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One undead/levelSaving Throw: Special

This spell requires a bone from any creature,held in the caster’s hand. It can affect onlyundead. The effects of a bonebind are auto-matic on all chosen undead of 7 HD or lesswith corporeal forms. Such undead are curledinto a ball (if more than one undead is affected,they are all gathered into one tightly-packedsphere) and held helpless, immobile and withtheir special abitlities in stasis, until the spellexpires or the caster frees them by an act ofwill. Typically, this “boneball” is rolled of a cliff,into an obstacle or fire, or conveyed into themidst of foes, where upon the caster ends themagic, freeing the undead to fight.


- 91 -

Against incorporeal undead and all undeadof 8 HD or more who don’t turn as “special”, abonebind acts only as a slowspell.

Bonebind also has additional effects againstcertain types of undead. When cast on a vam-pire, it forces the vampire into corporeal formand traps it in that form for the spell’s duration.(So that it must remain solid, visible, and can’tfly). A bonebind spell prevents a banshee formwailing while the spell is in effect, and protectsthe caster from the aging effects of seeing aghost. In the latter case, the spell makes thecaster glow with a white radiance, but has noeffect on the ghost or other undead present.To be effective against aging, it must be castwithin one turn after sighting the ghost.

Corporeal undead of 7 HD or less get nosaving throw against a bonebind. Incorporealundead and all undead of 8 HD or more savevs. spell with a -1 penalty, but are allowed asaving throw every second round after the spellcontacts them.

Whenever one succeeds, they break free ofthe spell. Liches and vampires are especiallysuseptible to bonebind spells, and save witha -3 penalty (every second round until free, asabove). “Special” undead are immune to bone-bind spells.❊

This spell was created by Celestarion to behis Ultimate form of protection. Whether it is oris not is left up to the individual wizard, butnonetheless it is a powerful spell.

When cast, a sphere of swirling black andwhite light appears to surround the wizard andall those close to him. The Barrier has all of thefollowing effects:

a) It prevents any spells going through it.What happens is that the spell energy is drawninto the top of the sphere.

b) The lighting effects of the sphere preventanyone from seeing through it, although thoseon the inside can see out. This results in a -4to hit penalty.

c) All magic within the sphere is unaffected.Spells cannot be cast out of it, but can be castwithin it.

d) No living being can pass through thesphere unless a saving throw vs. spells is madewith a -6 penalty. If they fail their saving throw,they are just unable to pass through.

e) No magic items of any sort can passthrough.

f) Normal physical objects can pass throughas can psionic attacks.

g) If the barrier is not hit by a spell or a magicitem or any psionic discipline, then the barrierneeds energy. It draws 2d4 of the wizard’s hitpoints for every round that it isn’t hit. Shouldthe wizard’s hit points go below 10% of theirmaximum, he starts to lose one level per round.The spell continues for as long as his initial

level in rounds. When he has lost half his lev-els, then he starts to lose 1 Intelligence pointper round until the spell ends. The wizard cannot voluntarily end the spell.

Hit point and level losses are temporary andreturn at the rate of one per turn each, but In-telligence losses are permanent. These effectscan be avoided if the wizard himself casts aspell at the barrier. He cannot dispel it whenhe wishes, however.

The material components of this spell areone star sapphire, and one black star opal ofat least 20,000 GP value each. Both are lost inthe casting.❊

Dheryth’s Spell Support (Abjuration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is cast immediately before anyother spell which has a duration (there aresome exceptions - see below). It doubles thecasting time of the other spell and adds ver-bal and somatic components of its own. Theeffect of Spell Support is to make the otherspell totally immune to dispel magic for itsnormal duration. The Spell Support itself is notdispellable, and if it is cast in conjunction withPermanency, the net effect is to make the otherspell both permanent and undispellable. Cer-tain spells (at the DM’s option) may not besupported, including at least the followingones:

*anything Wish or Limited Wish related,*Prismatic Wall, or Prismatic Sphere,*Otiluke’s Resilient and Telekinetic Spheres,

*Forcecage and Forcecube,*anything Gate related,*Magic Jar, and*Temporal Stasis.

Spell Support in no way reduces the efficacyof Mordenkainen’s Disjunction, nor does a sin-gle casting protect any additional spells thatmay be active in the same space.

On Permanency, there is a 10% chance peryear that the spell support will fail, leaving thePermanency intact but unsupported.❊

Dreamoore’s Blade Summoning(Conjuration/Summoning, Evocation)


This spell creates a 1.5 m long shimmeringblue shaft of force from the caster’s out-stretched hands. He must physically wield theweapon in combat, thus spells with somaticcomponents cannot be cast while the sum-moned blade exists. The “sword”, however, hasno true material existence and does not con-duct shock back to its wielder, thus its overallspeed factor is 1. It is neither an edged norblunt weapon and affects creatures normallyimmuned to either.

This spell creates an invisible field of energywhich is impermeable to the passage of magi-cal and psionic energies through its barriers.Thus, for example, creatures inside the area ofeffect are completely unaffected by spellswhich are cast outside the spell area. Similarlypeople outside are not effected by spells frominside (note, since magic cannot pass throughthis barrier, creatures cannot teleport, planeshift, etc. through the barrier).

Energy field does not, however, offer anyphysical protection whatsoever.

Spells which cause physical damage candestroy the shield but these spells must do atotal damage of 6 HP per level of the caster. Adisintegrate spell will cause the shield to makea save vs. magic at the level of the caster. If itsaves then the spell has no effect.

ArArArArArc:c:c:c:c: Range:Range:Range:Range:Range:

90° 60 m180° 45 m270° 30 m360° 15 m

The arc of flames will have a width of onefoot, centered on the caster’s hand, so theheight of the wizard’s hand at the time of cast-ing will determine the height of the flames; thusif the flames are at waist level, it is possible toescape the effects of this spell if lying prone.

The caster may elect to cast the arc in a“doughnut” shape; that is, he may create anarea around himself that is untouched by theflames (a good idea if the caster is in the midstof a friendly party). The radius of the hole maybe any size the caster desires, up to half therange as given in the table above.

Anyone hit by the flames suffers 4d10 pointsof damage, plus 1 point per level of the caster(to a maximum of 4d10+20); a successful savevs. spell reduces the damage by half. If a vic-tim fails a save, all possessions must save vs.magical fire or be consumed.

These flames are blocked by obstacles, andthey will not rejoin behind the barrier. This willcreate gaps in the arc; therefore, if a target isstanding behind a large enough obstacle, hewill be shielded from the flames, even if theblocking obstacle is tens of feet away.

In addition, the dome inflicts 3d8points of damage, plus 1 point per level of thecaster on anyone who passes through thedome (like a Wall of Fire, creatures subject tofire will suffer more damage at the DM’s discre-tion, and undead always suffer double dam-age).

The procedure for trapping creatures withthe dome, as well as the duration of the spell,are as per the Wall of Fire spell.

Kalessin’s Spell Load (Evocation)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

With this spell, the caster is able to “store”one spell for every three levels he possess (i.e.two at fourth, three at seventh, etc). The caster“paints” the spells around himself as runes, ineffect, casting them, a process taking one turnper spell. The spells are now “hung” around thecaster, and can be released by command, anaction taking only 1/10 of a round.

If the caster concentrates, glowing runesrepresenting the remaining spells in the loadwill appear about the caster, visible only to thecaster. The caster must specify in the castingof the load what the verbal or somatic com-mands are to be for the release of each spell.The caster also determines the appearance ofeach representative rune. Detect magic will re-veal the presence of the spell load, and TrueSight will allow the caster to see the rune rep-resentations of the spells in the load.

A spell load gets two saves versus a DispelMagic cast at it. First, it gets the mage’s sav-ing throw versus magic, and if that fails, it hasa 100% chance of being dispelled, minus 5%for each level the spell load caster has greaterthan that of the dispel magic caster.

Releasing the spells by command takes only1/10 round for initiative purposes, and thecaster can release two spells per round, al-though, if two spells are released, there is a (50- caster’s level) chance that the load spell willbe broken, and they will all go off. No more thansix spells can be set into a spell load.

Material components are a diamond tippedstylus, worth at least 1000 GP, and an amountof molten gold, with which the runes are pain-ted. The gold is consumed in the casting of thespell, but the stylus is still usable.

When the material compo-nent is wielded, the wielder can summon theblade forth at will (if the wielder is not the wiz-ard, and is not familiar with the spell, the wiz-ard will have to explain how to do this, it will takeapproximately 1 turn to understand how tocontrol the summoning of the blade, and theblade will be active for 2d6 rounds in the proc-ess), and a blade of 5 feet length will springfrom the crystal.

This blade is primarily light, contained with-in a field of magical force, though this force issuch that the blade can block another blade,including non-Liteblades. The blade itself hasno discernible weight, and thus is very fast,having weapon speed 1 and +3 to hit (alsodetermining what the blade can effect). By thesame token, it is balanced differently than anyother weapon, and unless the wielder hasspent considerable time practising the Lite-blade, the wielder will suffer the normal wea-pon non-proficiency penalty. In game terms,this means the player has taken a weaponproficiency in the Liteblade (note this requiresrather considerable access to Liteblades).

The blade does 1d10 damage on a success-ful hit (this damage is primarily from light andheat, and creatures particularly resistant orvulnerable to such damage will take half anddouble damage respectively, and those im-mune will take none). Also note that the bladecauterises the wounds it creates, and thus nobleeding will result.

The blade will retreat to a state of inactivitywithin the crystal at the wielder’s will, or if thematerial component is released.

Optional extension:On a roll of a natural 19, the opponents

weapon must save vs. magical fire or be cutby the blade (if reasonable). On a roll of a natu-ral 20, roll a 1d20 on the following table:


1 Head severed2-5 Arm severed6-10 Hand severed11-15 Leg severed16-20 Normal damage

The material component of this spell is com-prised of a large crystal (for example a dia-mond), worth at least 1000 GP, mounted in aprecious metal (platinum or better) on a han-dle constructed from a precious wood (ebonyfor example). This construction is not con-sumed in the casting.❊

Lightning Cloak (Alteration, Evoca-tion)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: The casterSaving Throw: Special

Upon casting this spell, a shimmering auraof lightning surrounds the wizard. This lightningproduces a crackling sound that is audible ata 1.5 m range, and dark areas the lightningcloak will outline the spell-caster as if a FearieFire spell had been cast upon him.

Under the effects of the lightning cloak, thewizard is a giant battery capable of discharg-ing lightning bolts as he sees fit. The maximumdamage of these bolts is 1d6 damage for eachlevel of the wizard, and he can discharge thebolts at a rate of one per round. The amount ofdamage caused by each bolt can be varied bythe spell-caster, i.e. a 12th-level can cast two6-dice bolts, four 3-dice bolts, a 9-dice bolt andthree 1-die bolts, or any combination that addsto 12 dice. Saving throws are allowed againstthese bolts, with success indicating that thevictim suffers half damage.

The lightning cloak also protects the wizardfrom the effects of electricity and electricalattacks. These attacks are absorbed with noharm to the wizard up to a maximum of 8points of absorbtion per level of the spell-caster (e.g., 80 points for a 10th-level mage).

However, the spell will end if the lightningcloak absorbes its full capacity of electricaldamage. In addition, anyone who attempts totouch a lightning cloaked mage will be shock-ed for 1d6 points of damage. If a metal object(such as a metal weapon) is the touchingagent, the maximum of six points of damagewill be sustained by the attacker. No savingthrow apply against this property of the light-ning cloak.

The lightningcloak spell will end when all itslightning bolts have been used or if it absorbesits maximum capacity of electrical damagenoted. Otherwise, the duration of lightningcloakspell is one turn plus one round for each levelof the wizard.

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: 1 turn/level


- 97 -

Casting Time: 5Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell was designed as either a sort oftemporal stasis effect, or as a way of remov-ing enemies without killing them. The creaturetouched is placed into its own extra-dimen-sional space, where no time passes. After oneturn for each level of the caster has elapsed,the creature will be returned to the Prime Ma-terial plane in exactly the same state it waswhen the spell is cast (including location).

If an object has been placed in the locationfrom which the creature was sent, the subjectwill be displaced the shortest possible dis-tance in any direction consonant with emerg-ing in open space. For instance, if the tunnelhas collapsed since the spell was cast, thecreature might be displaced a few tens of yardsup to the surface of the earth, if this is theshortest displacement that will allow the crea-ture to be placed in an open area. However, ifthere should happen to be a cavity in the de-bris blocking the tunnel, the subject wouldmost likely be deposited there.❊

Mage Lock (Alteration, Evocation)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This powerful dweomer causes the sealingof a thing with far greater effectiveness thanthat caused by a Hold Portal or a Wizard Lockspell. The Mage Lock can only be cast on cer-tain things: Boxes or chests made of iron, steel,or harder metals, or on doors made of thesame and set into a wall at least as hard ashard stone.

When the Mage Lock spell is cast, the Wiz-ard chooses a single person - other than him-self - who is to be able to open the sealed box,chest, or door. When the spell is done the itemis sealed and only the individual who wasnamed in the casting will be able to open it. Theitem will be unaffected by Knock spells,Chimes of Opening, or similar magics, and willhave a Magic Resistance of 25% with regardto other magics, and a +2 on all saves.

If the person named in the spell should diebefore the item is opened - for the spell holdsonly until the item is opened once - then theitem cannot be opened by anyone until thecaster of the spell is dead. If the item has notbeen opened by the time both the wizard andthe person named die, the Mage Lock dissi-pates.

The material components of this spell are:A diamond, worth no less than 5,000 GP, 4small iron cubes, and a drop of blood from theperson to be named in the spell.❊

Masol’s Light Blast (Alteration)

Range: 4.5 m + 0.3 m/levelComponents: V, S, M

Duration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: 4.5 m radiusSaving Throw: Special

This spell will instantaneously create a sphereof intense light, that will almost certainly blindany creature inside the area of effect. A sav-ing throw vs. paralysis at a -4 penalty is need-ed to avoid permanent blindness for thosewithin the sphere. Those who do make theirsave are blinded for the next 2d8 hours. Crea-tures in the sphere will also take 1d2 per leveldamage due to flash burns, a successful sav-ing throw results in half damage.

Also, any creature who looks at the light mustmake the same saving throw (without the pen-alty) or risk going blind for 2d8 hours. A suc-cessful saving throw - from this point - will re-sult in no ill effects.

The material components are 10 firefliesenclosed in a crystal sphere of at least 500 GP.This is thrown and shattered at the impactarea.❊

Mass Teleport (Alteration)

Range: 0.3 m/level radiusComponents: VDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 3Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is basically a higher level of thefifth level Teleport spell. The main difference liesin the amount of mass that can be transportedby the caster. In addition to the caster, 1200pounds per level over level 10 may be trans-ported. Basically, this spell is for bulk rate trans-fers of material. The range simply refers to themaximum radius outward from the center ofeffect (usually the caster) that people andthings can be to be teleported.

This was a very popular spell with parties ofadventurers that had lots of money to spendon transportation... As such, the mages whocould cast this spell tended to charge throughthe nose for it.. . It’s not an easy spell to findsince it is very, very useful... Of course, it’s justa matter of time before somebody else (or agroup of others) break into the action by re-searching a similar spell.❊

Micah’s Shield (Abjuration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour/levelCasting Time: 1 hourArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell can be cast by the wizard uponone person, not necessarily himself. While ineffect, the area with 3 m of the recipient be-comes a scrying “dead area”. When a scryingdevice (such as magic mirror or Crystal ball)is directed at the area, all that will be seen inthe dead area is grey mist. These informationgathering spells:

• Detect Lie,• Locate Object,• Clairaudience,• Clairvoyance,• Know Alignment, and• any of the “Detect” spells

will return no information (which in itself willbe quite peculiar). Finally, when a priest castsa commune spell and asks a question regard-ing events taking place within the dead area,said priest must make a secret saving throw vs.magic for each question asked or receive awrong answer.

Note that anyone can see into the area justfine, and no physical protection is given. Thespell simply counters detection magic.

The material components for this spell is afinely crafted ball of layered onyx, gold, andlead. Such a ball costs 3000 GP, takes a monthto make, and disappears upon casting.❊

Turns victim into an undead, type selectedrandomly wight, . .., vampire, partially control-lable by the caster. Risky: each commandgiven is a chance for the victim to become afully free undead of the type, unless the casteralso is a member of the same type of undead.Free - until controlled by a spell, of course. Thechange takes place over a period of two weeksof gradually worsening illness in which time thespell can be dispelled by a Dispel Magic, CureDisease, and Heal, cast in any order any timeduring the two weeks, not necessarily onestraight after the other. The DM should makeup some appropriate material component.

Note: the spell can create some quite weirdundeads, such as vampire snakes. Controllingrequires a common language and sufficient in-telligence on the part of the target. The spellin itself doesn’t modify stats such as intellect,even if the undead strength of 18/00 on a vam-pire does apply to non-humanoids as well.❊

Moloranis’ Marvelous Map (Invoca-tion/Evocation)

Range: Special (see below)Components: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One sheet of paperSaving Throw: None

By casting this spell, the mage is able todraw a fairly well detailed map of the surround-ing terrain onto blank paper, which is the ma-terial component for this spell. The mage cast-ing this spell must give total concentration tothe spell for the entire 10 rounds. If the mageloses his concentration, the partially drawnmap will fade from view and the spell must berepeated. The range of this spell varies as fol-lows:

• Above the ground: 1 mile per level ofthe caster

• Underground: 30 m per level of thecaster.

• Inside a structure: The mage will get adetailed map of the floor or level he is on.However, the map will show nothing beyondthe outer walls. If the floor or level is biggerthan the mage’s maximum radius, then fol-low the underground rule.

While this spell is very handy, it does havesome draw-backs. Nothing on the map islabeled. Also, the map will not show people. Forinstance, the map will show where a town is (ifit is in range) but it won’t give you the name ofthat town and it won’t tell you if there are anypeople in the town. In other words, this spell re-sults in a terrain-like map.

The material component for this spell is apiece of paper (or something like that) and awriting instrument of some kind.❊

Mystyk’s Improved Backlash (Abju-ration, Invocation/Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

This spell is identical to Mystyk’s Backlashexcept for the following: when the caster is hitin melee, if he makes a successful save vs.rods, the attack only inflicts half normal dam-age (rounded down). Also, the energy burstsinflict an additional point of damage per levelof the caster, up to a maximum of 20; this dam-age is halved if the attacker successfully savesvs. spells. For example if a 14th level caster ishit with a melee attack for 12 points of dam-age, the caster would suffer 12 points of dam-

age, or 6 if the save is successful; the attackerwould suffer 12 + 14 = 26 points of damage, or13 if the save succeeds.

The material component for this spell is thesame as that for Mystyk’s Backlash except thegem must be worth at least 600 GP.❊

2 levelsSaving Throw: Negates

This spell allows the wizard plus one othercreature for every two levels of the wizard toenter the border ethereal, slowly disappearingfrom view, taking a round to fade away. Crea-tures in the border ethereal exist simultane-ously in both the prime material and the ethe-real plane. From the border ethereal the crea-ture can enter the deep ethereal and travel tothe inner planes (refer to Manual of the Planes).Alternate prime materials cannot be reachedthrough the ethereal plane because each al-ternate prime material has an alternate ethe-real (travelling to alternate prime materialplanes can only be done through the innerplanes or from the prime material). To enter thebordered plane the creature simply wills it so,and materializes in the adjoining plane in a fewseconds.

Creatures in the border ethereal are invisibleto those on the bordering plane, although theycan be detected from that plane by means ofDetect Invisibility, True Sight, and True Seeing.Such a creature revealed would appear as asmoky, translucent shade. Creatures in theborder ethereal cannot verbally communicatewith the inhabitants of the plane they border,nor can they use equipment, items, or spellsto attack creatures in the plane they border.Likewise, inhabitants of the other plane cannotattack beings that are in the border ethereal(with a few exceptions, like the gaze attacksof Basilisks and Catoblepa’s). Phase Door andDispel Magic will bring creatures out of theborder ethereal.

Travellers in the border ethereal can movethrough the plane they are bordering withoutproblem, moving vertically or horizontally with-out need for support. They travel at the speedthey would on the bordered plane. Travellers inthe border ethereal can move through solidmatter in the plane bordered, except densemetals (i.e., gold, lead, etc.), living beings(above single celled), and certain spells thatdetect and ban the ethereal. Examples ofspells that affect ethereal creatures includeGlyph of Warding and Mordenkainen’s FaithfulHound, which both detect and attack etherealcreatures.

Travellers in the border ethereal can see intothe adjoining plane, but all colours are reducedto shades of grey and sight is limited to 120yards. Infravision and ultravision work from theborder ethereal. Divination spells can be cast

Pilpin’s Liquid Fire (Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: 15-foot radius sphereSaving Throw: ½

This spell is similar to the Fireball spell, ex-cept that it douses all creatures in a 5 m radiussphere with an incendiary liquid. Everythingand all within the area of effect will be engulfedin non-magical fire for 1d6 rounds. Anycombustibles within the area of effect instantlyignite. A creature in the area of effect that failsits saving throw takes 1d4 hp of fire damageper level of the wizard on the first round, andthe same damage each subsequent round,until it saves. The round the creature saves ittakes half damage, rounded down, and thenext round it takes none. All the creature’s non-combustible possessions must save versusnormal fire or be destroyed (the combustibleones don’t get a save). A creature that suc-cessfully saves on the first round takes halfdamage for that round, and all its possessions(including combustibles) are unaffected.

For example, a creature failing its first saveagainst Pilpin’s Liquid Fire, cast by a 12th-levelwizard, takes 32 hp of damage (rolled on 12d4)on the first round. The creature fails its saveagain on the second round and takes another32 hp of damage. On the third round it savesand only takes 16 hp of damage and no dam-age on the fourth round.

The wizard must have a clear line of sight tothe target area.

The material components are a pinch ofsulphur and the distillate of softly boiled lampoil (dangerous to get).❊

Programmable Dispel Magic (Abju-ration)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 2 turns/levelArea of Effect: 3 m radiusSaving Throw: None

This spell is a more refined version of Dis-pel Magic. The spell allows the wizard tospecify the exact conditions under which it willmanifest its effects, much like a Contingency,but without that spell’s side effects.

Instructions may contain one word per levelof the wizard. Some examples follow:

* “When evil passes, dispel Stoneshape”.* “When a century has passed, dispel Sepia

Snake Sigil”.* “When box is opened, dispel all magic”.

The spell must be cast on an object or placeand can affect all magic within 3 m. Magic castby other wizards will resist being dispelled asper Dispel magic, unless those wizards col-laborate with the wizard in the spells prepara-tion.

The material component is a silver candlesnuff, and a scroll made of vellum preparedform disenchanter skin and ink prepared fromdisenchanter blood, and the crushed lens froma beholder’s central eye. The cost is 100 GP perword, and the scroll is consumed in the cast-ing. The candle snuff is not destroyed.❊

Projectile (Evocation)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell creates an adamantine trianglemeasuring one inch per side in the immediatevicinity of the wizard. For as long as the wiz-ard is able to maintain concentration, the trian-gle is under his complete control, acceleratingat the rate of 0.05 m per round per level of thecaster. The triangle is half a centimetre thick atthe center and thins out to razor sharpness atthe edges. The wizard guides the path of the

triangle somatically, and must make a Dexter-ity check to hit a given object (with modifier forsize, if any).

The amount of damage caused varies withthe type of motion of the triangle. E.g., simplypassing through an object will cause roughlythe same damage as an arrow, whereas re-peatedly raking an object can cause up to1d12 points of damage per round. More imagi-native uses can cause more serious injuriesmuch more quickly. If the wizard loses concen-tration, or something interferes with the move-ments of his hands, the triangle will instantly bedispelled, and the wizard will take one full roundto recover before being able to cast anotherspell.❊

Protection Spell (Abjuration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

When cast on a subject, this spell will absorbdamage up to 20 hit points per level of thewizard. It persists until it has absorbed thisamount of damage, after which the spell ter-minates. The kind of protection must be speci-fied while casting and the caster may chosebetween protection from cold, fire, electricityand poison.

Because there were so many “ProtectionFrom” spells on fifth level I thought it would behandy to have only one spell capable to imi-tate all these spells.❊

Quintessa’s Slaying Spear (Evoca-tion)

Range: 6 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

The caster goes through the motion of throw-ing the spear, without ever touching it, whilespeaking the name and race of the creature tobe slain.

The spear then flies towards its target andwill kill the creature instantly is a save vs. deathmagic is failed. The spear never misses.

If the saving throw is successful, the spearmisses the creatures brain, or central nervoussystem, and instead hits another part of of thebody causing 10-80 + 1 HP per level of thecaster damage. The surge of energy into thecreature will also stun it for 2-8 rounds.

For the spell to work to its fullest potential,certain things should be known about the tar-get: (1) race (2) anatomy (3) true name - ifapplicable - and (4) general background and

history of the creature. If any of these areknown (or not known) then the creatures sav-ing throw is modified as follows:

Race -1 +2Anatomy -1 to -4 +3True name -4 +2Knowledge -1 to -5 +3

The saving throw modifier because of knowl-edge of the creatures anatomy depends onhow much the caster has studied the creaturesspecies. As a general guide, it would takeabout one month of study, along with lots ofspecimens, to be completely familiar with acertain species anatomy.

The saving throw modifier because of knowl-edge of the creatures background depends onhow much and how deeply the creature’s his-tory and current life was researched.

The material component for this spell is acopper spearhead and a glass or crystal prism.If the creature was killed because of a failedsaving throw, then the spearhead will be foundin the brain. If the save was made, then thespearhead will be found in a random part of thebody.

There is an additional -2 to save modifier if,for some obscure reason, the creature isresubject to this spell with the same copperspearhead that was used the first time (thespearhead has learned where to go this time).

The prism disappears after the spell iscast.❊

Creatures dwelling on or drawing power fromthe negative material plane or plane of shadowsuffer 1d6 damage every round that they arewithin 6 m of the Rainbow Warrior, as it shedsa bright globe of light strongly infused withenergy from the positive material plane. The

Rainbow Warrior is unaffected by poison, pa-ralysis, petrification, fire, electricity, gas, or acid.Unholy water causes it 2d4 damage, and coldattacks do full normal damage.

Negative energy attacks gain a bonus of +1per die of damage, and any spells involvingdarkness cause the Rainbow Warrior 2d6 dam-age per level of the spell, though the darknessspell will then be dispelled. Any darkness spellcoming into contact with the 6 m globe of lightsurrounding the Rainbow Warrior must bechecked as if Dispel Magic was being cast atthe level of the summoner of the Warrior. Onlyone such dispelling attempt is possible foreach darkness spell that could be affected,although the Warrior can automatically dispelany darkness spell by touching the area ofeffect, but it will suffer damage as if the spellhad been cast specifically at him. Dark-dwell-ing creatures (e.g. drow, duergar) are affectedby the Rainbow Warrior’s globe of light as theywould be by Continual Light.

Retroactive Dispel Magic (Abjura-tion, Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

Lets you actually cast Dispel Magic to coun-ter a spell thrown at you! If you have the spell,you can cast it at any spell or spell effectthrown that round, even if you have been killedor turned to stone, by the vagaries of initiativeand the like. It is assumed that you were cast-ing the Dispel Magic as the other spell wasbeing cast. Acts as Dispel Magic for chanceof success based on level.

For example, you have Esmeralda cast Poly-morph Other, which is lots faster than DispelMagic. She has Initiative all over Glamgon, thePC. He declares that he wants to cast retroac-tive Dispel Magic, so effectively as Esmeraldawas gathering power for her spell, Glamgonwas trying to drain it away. Glamgon had bet-ter succeed, lest he truly become a toad (theoutcome of the polymorph other should Ret-roactive Dispel Magic not succeed).

Sarius’ Frost Giant Manifestation(Conjuration)

Range: 30 m + 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 6 turnsArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a golem-like creaturewhich the mage may direct to perform certainprogrammed actions. The creature is a tempo-rary ice golem with no true intelligence, and tomost appears as an undead frost giant. Thecreature may be controlled up to a distanceequal to the spell range but if it passes outsideof this range, or the spellcaster is killed, thecreature will explode in a 18 m radius areadoing damage equal to its current hit points(save vs. breath weapon for half damage). Thecreature created mimics most of the actions ofa frost giant, having AC 4, MV 12, HD 10 + 2,HP 52, AT 1, DM 4-24, SP: Immune to cold, SZ:L (4.5 m), Strength: 21. The creature can fightwith its club only and has no ability to hurl rocksas a normal frost giant. It can inflict structuraldamage points as a normal frost giant on around to round basis (Wood: 2, Soft Stone: 1,Hard Rock: 1/2).

The caster is able to direct the creature toperform 3 individual actions plus 1 for everytwo levels of experience above 12th level. Eachchange in action will cause the creature tohesitate for one round before working to act outthe next action. Actions can be classed as“killing a group of orcs”, “killing a group of menwearing the same colours or armour”, “tearingdown a stone wall”, “pulling up a tree”, etc. Oncethe final action is completed the frost giantcrumbles into small shards of ice, effectivelymaking a circular area 9 m in diameter veryslippery. Against mind affecting spells, thecreature is considered to have an intelligenceand wisdom of 3 (saving at -3 vs. these at-tacks). If the creature is charmed or control-led by a mind affecting spell the casters con-centration is totally disrupted causing the crea-ture to dissipate and any other spells the castercurrently controls will become dispelled unlessthe caster has no control over the spells inquestion after casting them, and any spell thecaster is currently casting will be disrupted.

This spell requires only the slightest mentalcontrol of the caster to operate, allowing himto cast other spells normally that do not requirehis full concentration. Multiple castings of thisspell will work, but all of the detrimental effectsare cumulative. The material component of this

spell is a small pouch (5 cm squared) ofleather containing a patch of fresh (not dried)frost giant hair mixed with diamond dust of noless than 500 GP value. The frost giant hair maybe kept fresh with a Preserve spell or similareffect.


Sarius’ Platinum Platform (Altera-tion, Enchantment)

Range: 1.5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell brings a magical force field into ex-istence which resembles a dimly glowing plat-form made of glass-like material. The glowingplatform (dimly visible up to 1.5 m away indaylight) is capable of flying under the controlof the spellcaster, who may carry himself anda certain amount of weight through airy andwaterous mediums. When casting this spell, themage may choose to create a 3 × 3 m with 2m sidewalls or a 12 × 12 m platform with 1 msidewalls. The 3 × 3 m platform looses someof the abilities of the 12 × 12 m, but is 10%magic resistant and confers a 5% magic resist-ance to anything in physical contact with theplatform. Both platforms have a localized grav-ity that aids in keeping materials on board andbonuses to dexterity checks for falling from it.The differences between platforms and gen-eral flight powers are listed in the table below.Note that this spell uses the intelligence of thecreature casting the spell to determine usage(even thieves) and creatures with less than a9 intelligence may not effectively use this spell.Only mages may create the 3 × 3 m platform.

The platforms may only be destroyed bymagical damage. Physical attacks, no matterhow strong, will only be able to move the plat-form in relation to the force of the attack com-pared to the current speed and/or lift rate.Magical weapons will do damage equal to theirmagical plusses only. If area of effect attackscome from below that do not destroy the plat-form they will not affect the contents of theplatform. Note that, even if the magic resist-ance of a 3 × 3 m platform is bridge and it failsits saving throw and takes full damage, unlessit is destroyed the aforementioned effect holdstrue. The magic resistance passed onto objectstouching the platform stay in effect for oneround after it is destroyed. Breath weapons areconsidered magical attacks cast at the levelof the hit dice of the breathing creature for de-termining magic resistance breach.

The 12 × 12 m platform may sustain 3 HP perlevel of the originating experience level atwhich it was cast, while the 3 × 3 m platformwill take 4 x this amount of damage. The plat-form is immune to any attacks which use a pri-mal force of the plane in which it is created(e.g., fire in the elemental plane of fire) since itis created from the forces of the current planein which it resides. This also prevents the plat-form from crossing planar boundaries. Inplaces where there is no localized gravity,

movement rates are double the stated valuesin the table below. Spell duration in normal timeis 1 turn per level for the 3 × 3 m platform and1 day per level for the 12 × 12 m platform.

The material component of this spell is aplatinum plate (7.5 × 12.5 × 1 cm) with mysticrunes etched into it. A jeweler is needed (un-less the character has the skill) and he willcharge no less than 500 GP to work the runesneeded into the plate, the total price comingto 4,000 GP for the plate. The caster must usea wizard mark of his own to prepare the plateor it will only be able to create the 12 × 12 mplatform.

Sertain’s Certain Slaying (Necro-mancy)

Range: 6Components: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell concentrates all the power of aDeath Spell on one victim. A saving throw kine.j

is permitted, save vs. death, of course. Forevery three levels the wizard exceeds the vic-tim’s level or hit dice, a -1 penalty is applied tothe save, and vice versa. If the save is failed,the victim is slain immediately. If it succeeds,he is weakened for one turn per level of thewizard, suffering a -2 penalty to all dice rolls.This penalty is cumulative. A save which suc-ceeds by more than 10, or is critically made ne-gates any and all effects of that casting of thespell.

The material component is a black pearl,and the lens from the eye of a catoblepas,costing a total of 1000 GP.

Note: in some places, the lens may be hardto get, as its only known use (besides as a lens)is for death-dealing spells.....❊

Sillvatar’s Surgical Strike (Invoca-tion/Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstanCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell provides the caster with a methodof attacking a specific target in the midst of acrowd; when this spell is cast, a flaming boltshoots from the palm of the caster towards theintended victim. Only one target may be cho-sen for this spell, and the bolt strikes this indi-vidual unerringly. The bolt will dodge obstruc-tions and other creatures in its flight to the tar-get; it will even round corners, if need be. Aslong as the spell’s range is not exceeded, andthere is some path to the target, it will be struck;even if the victim ducks behind an obstacle

while the spell is being cast, the bolt will stillstrike home. The only stipulation is the targetmust be in sight when the spell incantationsbegin; the caster may choose any target withinsight (and range) but may not target suchthings as “the strongest member of the group”or “the orc leader” (see the description forMagic Missile for more details).

When the bolt impacts the target, it explodesin a burst of flames that engulf the victim; theflames conform to the shape of the target, sono other creatures are affected by the spell un-less they are touching the victim. The affectsof the explosion are identical to a 10 die Fire-ball (10d6 points of damage). A successfulsave vs. spell reduces the damage by one half.If this save fails, the target must save vs. magi-cal fire at -3 for all possessions; those that failare destroyed.

Since its inception, this spell has become afavourite of assassins; because of this, Sillvatarhas striven to remove it from circulation. Dueto his efforts, this spell is not as common as itonce was, although tens and even hundredsof examples still exist.

The material component for this spell is ahandful of scales and the heart of a reddragon; these components are consumedwhen the spell is cast.❊

Spellink (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 3d4 hours + 1 hour/levelCasting time: 5 roundsArea of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

By use of this spell, the mage magically links4 spells that are currently in his memory. Thelink is such that, upon uttering a trigger phrase,the linked spells are invoked almost simulta-neously. That is, they are machine-gunned. Inactual time: there is a 2/10 round gap betweenthe spells.

The spells that can be linked are one firstlevel spell, one second level, one third level andone fourth level. The mage must specify theorder of the link (i.e. 1-3-4-2, 2-1-3, etc). Spellsthat are linked may not be cast. Any attemptto cast a linked spell has an 85% chance tofizzle (minus 10% per point of intelligenceabove 15). Furthermore, the other spells linkedto the cast spell are automatically lost.

The trigger phrase takes 1/10 round to use.At the end of the duration, which is secretlyrolled by the GM, this spell and the linked spellsare automatically lost.

Spell components are a braided platinum &copper chain, worth 500 GP, which is con-sumed by the spell, and - obviously - whateveris needed for the linked spells.❊

Staff of Light/Darkness (Alteration,Evocation)


Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

By means of this spell, the magic-user cre-ates a powerful magical weapon which only hecan wield. Magic-users of Good alignment cancreate a Staff of Light; those of Evil alignment,a Staff of Darkness; and those of Neutral align-ment (with respect to Good/Evil) can create ei-ther form of the spell, but with reduced effec-tiveness. The verbal component of this spellconsists of but a single word, which creates inthe magic-user’s hand a sphere of light (ordarkness) a few inches in diameter; the re-mainder of the casting time is then spent care-fully pulling and shaping this sphere into a full-sized staff. Spell duration is considered to be-gin on the following round, so that the castercan make at least as many attacks as he haslevels.

The glowing Staff of Light will brightly illumi-nate a 9 m radius, and when cast by a Good-aligned magic-user this illumination will bepainful to supernatural Evil creatures such asundead, demons, devils, etc. (these take 2 hitpoints of damage per round, saving vs. spelleach round for half damage). A Darkness spellcast in the area of the Staff of Light will elimi-nate this painful effect for the duration of theDarkness, but does not actually make the areadark, though the illumination is reduced to thelevel of dim torchlight.

Whether cast by a Good or Neutral magic-user, the Staff of Light strikes as a +2 weapon(for purposes of what can be hit by it; there isno actual to-hit bonus) and does a base of 1d6points of damage. The damage can be in-creased by 1d6 for each round of spell dura-tion that remains; every such increase short-ens the duration of the spell by one round. In-tent to increase damage must be stated beforethe to-hit die is rolled, but spell duration is notaffected if the attack is a miss. If the Staff ofLight is used to strike a creature with a strongNegative Material existence (wights, spectres,xeg-yi, etc.) there is a 50% chance that theremaining spell duration will be expended asdamage whether or not the caster wishes it.

The Staff of Darkness sheds deep shadowsin a 9 m radius, through which only the castercan see clearly; Shades (the monster) andother magic-users using Staff of Darknessspells are at -1 to hit when within these shad-ows, and all others (even with infravision) areat -3 to hit and +3 to be hit when in these shad-ows (note that two magic-users within 9 m ofeach other and each holding as Staff of Dark-ness will both be at -1 to hit, but the effects ofmultiple staves are not otherwise cumulative).

In addition, when cast by an Evil-alignedmagic-user, this sphere of shadow will affectsupernatural creatures of Good alignment(shedu, lammasu, devas, etc.) as if they wereaffected by a Stinking Cloud spell (savingthrow vs. magic reduces the effect to mild nau-sea, -1 to hit and damage; this penalty is cu-mulative with the -3 to-hit penalty for poor vis-ibility). A Light spell cast in the area of the Staffof Darkness will remove this nauseating effectand reduce the to-hit penalty to -1 and the to-be-hit penalty to +1, but will not significantlybrighten the area.


- 103 -

The staff of Darkness strikes as a +2 weapon(for purposes of what can be hit), doing 1d6points of damage. For each round of spellduration that remains, the caster can chooseto inflict numbing cold on his victim; this coldhas a 5% chance per round of spell durationexpended, cumulative, of causing loss of useof a limb for 1d6 rounds, and otherwise causesthe victim to lose one point each of strengthand dexterity per round of duration expended,also for 1d6 rounds; thereafter the lost strengthand dexterity return at the rate of one pointeach per round, or the limb becomes usableimmediately. Cold-resistant and cold-usingcreatures get a saving throw against this effect,and its duration is halved for them in any case.

If the areas of radiance/shadow of a Staff ofLight and a Staff of Darkness intersect, the ef-fects of both are negated in the overlapping re-gion. If the staves are within 9 m of one another,both cease to shed their light/darkness, buttheir powers are otherwise unaffected. NeitherStaff has any physical substance, and thuscannot be parried except by another Staff ofthe opposite type or by a Rod of Force; a Wallof Force, Forcecage, or similar force barrier willstop a Staff. If two Staves of opposite typetouch one another for any reason, both are de-stroyed in an explosion of 12 m radius caus-ing 1d6 points damage for each round of du-ration remaining in the two spells, cumulative.The mages holding the Staves automaticallytake full damage, all others within 12 m save vs.spells to take half damage.

The material component of this spell is apearl (a black pearl for the Dark version) of notless than 500 GP value, which is held in onehand when the command word is uttered. Thepearl is transformed into a small sphere of lightor darkness; the somatic component is thestretching and molding of this sphere into astaff. There is rumoured to be a variant of thisspell that allows the sphere formed from thepearl to be hurled as a missile, but the specificdetails have been lost.❊

Teleport Trap (Alteration)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: 10 m/level radius

sphereSaving Throw: Negates

All people or things teleporting in the areaof effect are, upon materializing, effected as ifa paralysis spell had been cast upon them (asin players handbook). Thus a mage wishing toleave sneak into a place decides to teleportthere. He doesn’t realize that a Teleport Traphas been cast however around the spot hewishes to appear. Upon arriving he must savevs. spells or be paralysed. Those leaving anarea under this spell will also be paralyzedwhereever they appear.

Material components are a gem of not lessthan 5000 GP worth smeared with the ichor ofsome paralyzing agent (ghoul’s skin, etc).❊

Teleport via Fire (Alteration)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour/levelCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: One creature/4 levelsSaving Throw: None

This spell allows the caster to teleport him-self and/or others from one area of flames toanother (both fires must be at least as large asa small campfire). The caster has two options:if the terminal fire is in sight, the teleport iswithout error as per the spell of the samename; if the target fire is not in sight, then theteleport is subject to the success modifiers ofthe normal Teleport spell. Obviously, the loca-tion of the terminal fire must be known (viascrying or prior knowledge). If this spell is usedwhen there is no known target fire (i.e. there isno fire in sight and none are known to thecaster) the recipients are trapped on the el-emental plane of fire (note that this provides away of entering this plane on a planned basis,but the caster will not know the location of theteleport beforehand, unless there is priorknowledge of the location on the plane of fire).

This spell will provide the recipients with aform of fire-resistance: this resistance lasts forone round per 2 levels of the caster; it providestotal protection for this time (but only for the twofires in question - the recipients are affectednormally by other fires during this time).

It takes 2 turns to prepare this spell, but onceprepared, it will remain in effect for one hour perlevel of the caster, or until it is used. The crea-tures to be affected are named at the time ofpreparation. The spell has an actual castingtime (i.e. to trigger the teleport) of 1.

This spell provides a method of escapingthe effects of a Fireball or similar spell: if thecaster makes the proper saving throw, and isnot in the midst of some other activity (i.e cast-ing another spell or fighting), the teleport canbe triggered instantly; the teleported creaturesare unaffected by the Fireball regardless if theymake their saves or not. Of course the normalstipulations are still in effect, so the caster muststill have a target fire, or be trapped on theplane of fire.

The material components for this spell area candle and the replica of a small, woodendoor; both are consumed with the casting.❊

Teleportal (Alteration)

Range: 9 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: Up to one minuteCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

if the wizard is not yet through. The door canlead to any location the wizard desires whichis within fifty feet per level of wizard. The loca-tion may be either visualized from memory ormay be given as directions if the wizard has novisual memory of the location. If the door leadsinto a solid object, material creatures and ob-jects will not be able to pass through the door.

After the wizard has passed through, thedoors will disappear. If the wizard does notpass through the door within one minute, thedoors will disappear as well.

The material components for this spell area gem, worth at least 5000 GP and the tail of arattlesnake.❊

Vandergast’s Armoured Forcetrap(Invocation/Evocation)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

This spell is identical to Vandergast’sForcetrap in appearance and effect, with thefollowing exceptions: a bend bars attempt isuseless against this spell; instead, enoughdamage must be inflicted on the bands todestroy them. This damage may be caused byweapons (piercing and slashing weapons onlydo half damage, blunt weapons inflict full dam-age) or spells. Also, only one target may betrapped by this spell. Finally, a Limited Wish willnot affect this spell, although a Wish will destroyit, and a Dispel Magic has the normal chanceof success against the bands.

The bands have AC 0 and 5 hit points forevery level of the caster. When the bands’ hitpoint total has been exceeded, the bands aredestroyed, and the spell ends. Each attack thatinflicts damage on the bands will also inflict halfthat damage total (rounded down) on thetrapped victim unless a successful save vs.paralysation is made (in which case, no dam-age is suffered). For example, if the bands arestruck for 11 points of damage, they suffer thefull 11 points, while the trapped victim suffers 5points of damage, unless his save wassuccessful.❊

Wizard Watch (Alteration, Divination)

Range: 3 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 hourArea of Effect: One roomSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a special version of thecasters Wizard Mark to placed in a room of thecasters choice. This sigil will allow the casterto view the room from any distance as if thecaster was scrying into the room with nochance of failure. The sigil itself does not dothe seeing, but it only defines the room that canbe viewed, thus the caster can view the roomfrom any viewpoint inside the room, but notfrom outside the room. The information re-ceived is limited to visual only.

Since the sigil is easily noticed, it can be hid-den, or have its design mixed in with the de-cor of the room and be hidden that way.

If the sigil is created in an outside area, notbounded by walls, then the viewpoint can beanywhere within a 3 m radius from the locationof the sigil.

Any creatures that are in the room which isactively being watched will have a chance todetect the scrying of the owner as defined theDMG (pg. 141). If they use a dispel magic tocounter the scrying, then the sigil will remaininoperative for a period of one day (this doesnot mean that the caster might not have moresigils in the room. As long as they remain in-activated, they will not be effected by the Dis-pel Magic).

The spell is permanent until the sigil is tam-pered with, or destroyed.

The materials for this spell is a mercury and1000 GP of carbuncle dust is a glue base aswell as a dragon scale with the sigil carved onit. The mix is poured onto the dragon scale‘mold’ and pressed against the area where thesigil is to be put. The spell is cast, and the newsigil remains in place. ❊

Mage Spells Seventh Level

Bloodstars (Evocation)


This spell creates seven star-shaped, spikedfields of whirling, sparkling force from sevendrops of the caster’s blood. These bloodstarsmove (MV Fl 22, MC: A) in response to the cast-er’s will. All seven can attack seperate targets,although a bloodstar can’t move more than 27m away from its caster.

A bloodstar strikes targets at THAC0 4, andits razor-sharp points of force slash through allarmour and nonmagical barriers to inflict 4d4points of damage. (Due to the “energy aura”exuded by a striking bloodstar, a single beingcan suffer damage from only one bloodstar ina round.)

Once a particular bloodstar has drawnblood, the caster can make it explode on anysubsequent round, dealing 3d6 hp of damageto all creatures within 3 m. the caster is immuneto all effects of his own blood stars which passthrough him as though he does not exist. Awizard can grapple with a foe, hold him in oneplace and bring already-existing bloodstarsslashing through them both, harming only hisfoe.❊

Chaos Environment (Alteration)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell is exactly the same as Chaos Vi-sion except that the environment actually ischanging uncontrollably. The ground constantlyrolls and twists, objects from the casters mindappear and disappear. All creatures in the en-vironment are constantly polymorphing. Notethat creatures polymorphed will need to savevs. spells each round to keep their former iden-tity and not take on a new one. All damage frombeing crushed, attacked, and otherwise af-fected by the spell are real, caused by realcreatures and aberrations in the area. I usuallygive 1d6 of damage per round due to con-stantly being battered and thrown. DM’s cangive whatever they like however as needed bythe alteration that caused the damage.

A person entering this environment had bestcarry nothing with him or risk losing it as it turnsinto some form which might not be carryable.People have to make system shock rolls everyturn, for the stresses will tear even the mighti-est hero apart, given time.

The material component of this spell is aWild Magic area, which is consumed by thespell. The area of effect fills the area previouslyformed by the Wild Magic area.

The one Chaos Environment in my cam-paign was formed to protect an artifact thatcaused as much harm as good. A lesser magicitem would have eventually been destroyed bythe constant polymorphing and impacts. Allobjects will revert to their original form if theycan get out of the area of effect.❊

Ingredients for this balm cost500 GP, and one uninterrupted week spent bythe spell caster. The balm only stays good for3 days.

This spell forces back the soul of the corpse,and turns it into either a wight, a spectre, or awraith. The caster has a percentage chanceequal to his level x 2 of choosing which is cre-ated. Otherwise, roll on the following table, add-ing the level of the caster, plus a 5 bonus if thecaster is a necromancer specialist. Also, if thecorpse was a 0-level person, subtract 30 fromthe roll (if the adjusted roll is below 0, the spellfails and the corpse is destroyed).

If the save is made, the corpse is destroyedand the spell fails. If the save is failed, theundead is created. Said undead will be underthe control of the necromancer for one year,following any order that is not obviously sui-cidal. At the end of the year, or upon such timeas the undead receives a suicidal order, it isfreed from the necromancer’s control and getsa save vs. magic. If it fails, it must leave andmay never attack the necromancer unless at-tacked first. If it succeeds, it becomes free-willed, and might attack the necromancer if itwas sufficiently mistreated.

Note that after the year is up, the undeadmay continue to serve the necromancer, if itwas sufficiently prosperous and receives asufficient bribe. This is a GM call.

A necromancer can only control 1 undead inthis matter at a time. At the end of the year, orwhen the undead dies or becomes uncon-trolled, the spell may be used again. Shouldthis spell be used during the year, it will work,but the fresh undead will immediately attackthe spellcaster.

Finally, a created undead starts out the samealignment as the corpse from which it came.However, due to what these creatures mustfeed on (i.e. people), an unstoppable shiftbegins towards the undead’s normal align-ment. There is a 10% chance per month (cu-mulative) of the alignment decaying one step.After a switch, the chance returns to 0 andbegins building again.❊

Electrosphere (Evocation)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: 0.75 m/level radius

sphereSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell is a more potent version of thesecond level spell Shocksphere. This spell isalmost identical in its effects, but the effects aremuch more spectacular, and far more deadly.

When this version of Shocksphere explodes,the little Lightning Bolts are much more pow-erful, being able to push or throw objectsaround during the segment that the spell lasts.Therefore, not all the damage is caused by theelectricity, one quarter of the damage causedis caused by the force of the blows of the Light-ning Bolts (this means that creatures with pro-tection from electrical attacks will still takedamage from this spell).

If there is a creature which is the target forthe spell, its saving throw will be at -4 and it willtake (2-8 + 1 per level of the caster) damagefrom the lightning when the spell “explodes”. Allother creatures in the area of effect will take 2-7 damage per level of the caster in hit points ifthey fail a normal saving throw vs. spells. If acreature does fail its saving throw, then all theirobjects must make their saves vs. the worst ofeither lightning or crushing blow.

If this spell expands in an area which issmaller than its diameter, it will conform to thevolume it occupies, filling a volume of (caster’slevel)² × 0.027) cubic metres.

Unlike Shocksphere, this spell will do struc-tural damage to any man-made or naturalstructure in the area of effect. It will do 1 pointof structural damage to wooden constructions,half that to those of soft stone, and only onequarter that to those of hard stone per level ofthe caster.

The material components of this spell is asmall chunk of flesh from a blue dragon, or anyother similarly powered creature that uses elec-tricity for its principal attack, and a small wandof gold (50 GP value). Both these materials dis-appear after the spell is cast.❊

Energy Shield (Abjuration)


When cast, this spell will absorb 6 hp ofdamage per level of the wizard. The spell willprotect against all spells which inflict direct (i.e.hit point) damage, and physical attacks. Gas-ses and magics which do not directly harmtheir victims (such as Charms, Polymorphs,etc.) are unaffected.

For magics which slay instantly, such as Dis-integrate and Death spells, subtract the recipi-ent’s maximum hit points from the EnergyShield. If the shield cannot absorb them all, therecipient suffers the remainder in damage.

The material component is a miniatureAdamantite shield with a diamond set in thecentre worth not less than 3000 GP. This shieldis lost in the casting.❊

The only material component for this spellis the eye stalk, which is used up when thespell is cast. In order to achieve different ef-fects, an eye stalk from a spectator, gauth, aneye of the deep, or any other beholder-kin maybe substituted for the beholder’s stalk.❊

Feather Fall Field (Alteration)

Fellstar’s Flame Fog (Evocation)

Range: 10 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: 12 m wide, 6 m high, 6 m

deep cloudSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell creates a fog resembling that pro-duced by a Cloudkill spell; the cloud may becreated up to 10 m away, and moves 3 m perround as directed by the caster; strong windswill move the cloud in another direction, but willnot disperse it, nor will they move the cloudback towards the caster. Thick vegetation willbreak up the cloud in 3 rounds.

The fog itself is not harmful, and has no otheraffect besides obscuring vision. During anyround after the spell is cast, the caster mayignite the fog with a single word. When this isdone, the entire fog cloud becomes a roaringsheet of flames inflicting 5d10 points of dam-age, plus 1 point per level of the caster (up toa maximum of 5d10+20) to those caught in-side. A successful save vs. spell reduces thedamage by half. Those victims who fail theirsaves must roll for all their possessions vs.magical fire; those items that fail their saves aredestroyed.

If any type of fire comes into contact with thefog cloud, it ignites immediately; if a Fireball,or similar spell, is cast into the cloud, the dam-age inflicted is cumulative, and a saving throwfor each effect must be made separately.

The material components for this spell areseveral strands of hair from a cloud giant, andthe scales of a red dragon; all components areconsumed when the spell is cast.❊

Jadwin’s Deceiving Forgery (Illu-sion)

Range: 0Components: V, S, M

Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the wizard may dis-guise his mental signature to be identical toanother wizard’s. All in-place spells react to thewizard as if he were the other wizard. For in-stance, the wizard would be able to passthrough another’s Wizard Locked door, useanother’s Passwall. The wizard would even beable to travel through a priest’s Glyph of Ward-ing or Forbiddance, provided that the pass-word is known.

Note that some in-place spells such as Pris-matic Sphere are not designed for access bytwo persons. Powerful, in-place, wizard specificspells will not be fooled by the Forgery if theirreal wizard is present. While this spell allows thewizard to walk into anothers unoccupied Pris-matic Sphere, should the wizard attempt toenter an occupied Sphere the attempt will fail,resulting in the wizard taking the full conse-quences of such an attempt. The caster of thePrismatic Sphere will never have a problementering, however if the caster of the Spherespell enters after the caster of the Forgery theSphere will no longer be deceived by the For-gery. If the caster of the Forgery then comesin contact with the Sphere he will take the fullconsequences.

Less powerful, in-place, wizard specificspells either are not specific enough to excludetwo mental copies of the wizard or will refusethe second access attempt even if it is thecaster of the original spell. This spell does notfoil active detection spells such as Know Align-ment and True Sight, only in-place ones. Also,the wizard is not recognized by his own in-place spells for the duration of the Forgery.

The material component of this spell is anivory plaque on which is inscribed the nameand magic symbol of the wizard whose aurais to be duplicated.❊

Jamye’s Improved Armour Re-versal (Abjuration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/level above 7thCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: Special

This spell is an improved version of the fifthlevel Jamye’s Armour Reversal spell. With thisspell, bonuses “to hit” by the attacker areadded to the die roll (thus working against theattacker) instead of subtracted. For example,a 10th-level fighter attacking an AC 5 magewith Improved Armour Reversal would need adie roll of 5 or less to hit the mage; if the fighterhad a Strength of 17 (+1 “to hit”) and a +2weapon, she would now need a die roll of 2 orless (5 minus 1, minus 2) to hit the mage.

This spell also affects missile weapons in thesame way it affects melee weapons, unlike thefifth level spell. Also, whereas Armour Reversalcan be dispelled by a subsequent casting ofImproved Armour Reversal on the same sub-ject, Improved Armour Reversal cannot be sodispelled by the weaker spell. If Armour Re-versal is cast upon the subject of a previousImproved Armour Reversal spell, the ArmourReversal spell is wasted and has no effect.

The spell components for this spell are asmall magnet, a piece of black silk of no lessthan 20 GP value, and a diamond of no lessthan 250 GP value.❊

Lestat’s Legion (Evocation)

Range: SpecialComponents: V ,S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell creates one clone, plus one forevery five levels of the wizard, of the wizard.Each clone has hit points equal to the wizard’slevel, and all physical (non-spell) abilities of thewizard. The clones are completely loyal to thewizard (as their minds overlap in a way, with hisown) and can carry out reasonably complextasks (DM discretion). The clones are createdwreathed in simple illusions which mimic thewizard’s possessions, though they serve noother purpose, and can be discarded at theclone’s will (as the clone may have real clothesetc available). Due to the mental overlap of theclones with the wizard, while any are within 100meters of the wizard, the following is possible:

* The wizard can communicate telepathicallywith the clone. * The wizard will sense wherethe clone is, regardless of sight etc. * The wiz-ard can cast memorized spells through theclone, the spell is cast normally, with the wiz-ard performing all components necessary (theclone can mimic these if desired), the only


- 107 -

difference being the spells origin, which is theclone (i.e.: all effects use the clone as the wiz-ard). * The wizard can map the clones sensesonto his own, though while doing so, the wiz-ard’s own sense which is being mapped over,is not available (e.g.: if the wizard maps theclone’s sight over his own for five minutes, thenhe cannot see from his own eyes for those fiveminutes).

The material components are a number ofpearls (each worth at least 500 GP) equal tothe number of clones to be created (thenumber of clones created is equal to thenumber of pearls used, with an upper limit ofone plus one for every five levels of the wiz-ard), and a drop of the wizard’s blood uponeach pearl. At the completion of the spell, thebloodied pearls are flung from the wizard, andwhere each lands, a clone forms out of it.❊

Lestat’s Lieutenant (Illusion/Necro-mancy)

Range: SpecialComponents: S, MDuration: 1d6 turn + 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a clone of the wizard. Theclone has hit points equal to the wizard’s level(e.g.: 14 hp for a clone of a 14th-level wizard),and all physical (non-spell) abilities of the wiz-ard. The clone’s mind overlaps with the wizard’s,though the clone’s is by no means complete.The clone can carry out reasonably complextasks (DM’s discretion), and is essentially anextension of the wizard.

The clone is created wreathed in simple il-lusions which mimic the wizard’s possessions,though they serve no other purpose, and canbe discarded at the clone’s will (as the clonemay have real clothes etc. available). The cloneitself is a magical construct, and is detectableas such in the normal ways (e.g.: Detect Magicor True Seeing will reveal its true nature). Dueto the mental overlap of the clone’s mind withthe wizard’s, while within 100 meters of the wiz-ard, the clone has the following properties:

* The wizard will sense where the clone is,regardless of sight etc. (similar to the sense ofwhere one’s arm is).

* The wizard can communicate telepathi-cally with the clone (silently and accuratelyconvey concepts, as if talking to oneself).

* The wizard can cast memorized spellsthrough the clone. The spell is cast normally,with the wizard performing all componentsnecessary (the clone will reflexively mimic thenon-material components), the only differencebeing the spells origin, which is the clone (i.e.:all effects not including side effects (side ef-fects include such things as the aging causedby certain spells, etc.) use the clone as thewizard).

* The wizard can at will swap the clonessenses with his own. E.g.: the wizard can swapsight with the clone, and see through theclones eyes (and the clone would see throughthe wizard’s). The wizard can of course swapback to his normal sight at will.

The material components consist of a rep-resentation of the wizard (a carved figure or aclay model, for example) coated with the dustof a crushed pearl (made of a perfectly roundpearl, worth at least 1000 GP), and a drop ofthe wizard’s blood. When the spell is cast, thefigurine is placed where it is to appear, and ittransforms into the clone (when the clone dis-appears at the end of spell duration, the figu-rine is gone).

Optional extension:The spell has a (25 - wizard’s level) %

chance (with a minimum of 1%) of creating asentient clone, i.e.: the clone is under the con-trol of the DM. The clone is in all other ways thesame as a normal clone, though should thewizard die, the clone will gain full abilities of thewizard. Sentient clones have the same person-ality and memories as the wizard (and thusknow the spell effects, the fact that they willexpire, etc., etc.). Basically, a DM can enjoysome interesting roleplaying here...❊

Meral’s Minor Bang (Evocation)

Range: 10 m + 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 5Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell brings into being a microscopicquantity of anti-matter wherever the wizarddecides within range. The anti-matter will deto-nate instantly with whatever matter happens tobe there, doing considerable damage to crea-tures, depending on the range from the blast.If it materializes in a vacuum, embedded in aforce field, or other place without matter, thespell dissipates. The major effect is to cause aFireball-like blast affecting things within 20 mof ground zero, causing 1d6 points per level ofthe wizard, up to a maximum of 12d6, with asaving throw for half damage. Targets immuneto fire or normal physical attacks take only halfof the result, and targets immune to both takenone.

The spell will also affect creatures made ofliving tissue as follows, depending on the dis-tance from the centre of the blast:

* Centre up to 20 m: The creature will die ofradiation sickness in 2d6 days unless a CureDisease (or Heal) spell is cast on it or unless itis immune to disease, and it will be perma-nently blinded (until cured), its optic nerveshaving been destroyed.

* 20 to 40 m: Unless immune to disease, thecreature will be afflicted with radiation sicknessthat will cause it to die in 1d3+1 weeks. Further-more, it will be blinded for a period of onemonth (if it doesn’t die first).

* 40 to 60 m: 1 hour later, the creature willbecome violently ill with radiation sickness, withan effective -2 each to Constitution, Dexterity,and Strength, until a month passes or it restsfor half a day per level of the wizard. Blindnessalso occurs, lasting 1d6 days.

The penalties for radiation sickness alsoapply to terminally ill creatures at less than 40m.

* 60 to 80 m: The creature will become mildlyill (no game effect), and will be blinded for oneday.

The target must make a separate savingthrow for radiation and for blindness damage,and if it succeeds it keeps making savingthrows until it fails. Each success reduces theeffect to that of one level farther out. The ra-diation passes through solid objects, but each15 cm of stone or m of water reduces the ef-fect to the next outwards level. A sufficientlywide barrier, such as a wall, will eliminate theblindness entirely.

Creatures not made of flesh, like xorns, butthat still see using eyes, are affected by theblindness only, not by the radiation. Creaturessuch as elementals or golems are unaffectedby either. Undead and creatures from the lowerplanes are not blinded by the light, but take


- 108 -

extra damage from it of 3d6, 2d6, 1d6, or noth-ing depending on their distance from the tar-geting point of the spell.

The wizard can optionally materialize theanti-matter inside a creature or thing. A crea-ture gets a save vs. petrification, and an objecta save vs. crushing blow. If it fails, it takes dou-ble damage, but all others automatically makethe saving throw for half damage and 1 savingthrow against the radiation. This version worksonly against corporeal creatures. Against for-tifications, the spell does 1 structural point perlevel if materialized inside, half damage other-wise.

The material component of the spell is amushroom.❊

Mind Find (Divination)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: 30 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

This is an extremely powerful version of truesight combined with a form of Clairvoyance.Like True Seeing, it allows the caster to exactlylocate people that are: displaced, invisible,polymorphed, change, enchanted, orillusioned. However the spells effects the mind,not the eyes of the caster, so the caster can inaddition see through fog, around corners, trees,etc. (anything within 30 m radius).

About the only things that will block the pen-etration power are the Non-detection spell(non-detection gets a save to see if the mindfind worked on him), Lead walls, or walls offorce. The spell also confers the ability to per-ceive minds in 360 degrees on all axis, X, Y andZ. Thus the caster could locate the mind ofsomeone 24 m above then and behind them,needless to say backstabbing someone whoknows exactly where you are is impossible.

However, this spell cannot locate object orthings without minds, thus it could locate any-thing that had less than zero intelligence. Thedrawback to this spell is that it makes thecaster susceptible to mind-effecting spells i.e.save at -2.

The material component of this spell is awhole mind flayer brain.❊

It can store up to 1 spell levelper level of the caster. The caster may placeany spell he wants into the vortex. He also hasa chance equal to his magic resistance ofcatching a spell cast at him with the vortex.

After the spell’s energy is stored in the vor-tex, the caster may use the energy to fire otherspells from the vortex. He may only fire spellshe has “taught” the vortex though (the ones heput into the vortex himself). Shooting a spellfrom the vortex may be accomplished once around, plus one may be fired at anyone whocasts a spell at the mage that round.

Range: 120 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes a single person (as de-fined in Charm Person) to act as if he had adifferent alignment than his own. The specificalignment is the wizard’s choice, but must bechosen when the spell is memorised. An af-fected creature will wholeheartedly embracethe new alignment, seeing the error or foolish-ness of his past ways. Alignment detectingspells (such as Detect evil/good, True Sight,etc.) will detect the creatures true alignment,but spells such as True Seeing will also revealthat the creature is charmed.

The base saving throw is made at -3 if thechange is only by one division (i.e., lawful goodto lawful neutral or neutral good). The save isat -2 if the attempted alignment change is bytwo divisions (i.e., lawful good to lawful evil,chaotic good, or neutral). If the attemptedchange is by three positions (i.e., lawful goodto neutral evil or chaotic neutral ) the save isat -1. For diametrically opposed alignments thesave is normal (i.e., lawful good to chaotic evil).Furthermore, creatures and classes restrictedto a specific alignment (i.e., paladins, druids,demons, etc.) get a +3 bonus to their savingthrow. Creatures or classes restricted to spe-cific morals or ethics (i.e., rangers, assassins,

barbarians, etc.) get a +2 bonus to their saveif the alignment change conflicts with the re-striction.

Pilpin’s Alignment Charm is not affected byDispel Magic, Remove Curse or Heal, but aRestoration or (Limited) Wish spell will negateit.

Pilpin’s Ravaging Spheres of Fire(Evocation)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One 1 m radius sphere/levelSaving Throw: Negates

This spell is an enhancement of the second-level spell Flaming Sphere. The spell createsone burning globe of fire per level of the wiz-ard. The globes all appear within 30 m of thewizard and roll in whichever direction the wiz-ard points, at a rate of 100 m per round. Thespheres can roll over any obstacle, even a citywall. Combustible substances are ignited bycontact with a sphere. Creatures contacting asphere must successfully roll a saving throwversus spells or suffer 2d4 hp of damage.Those within 1.5 m of a sphere must also saveor suffer 1d4 points of damage. A successfulsaving throw means no damage is suffered.

The spheres move in the direction the wiz-ard directs, otherwise the spheres will wanderaimlessly. Spheres can be extinguished by thesame means as any normal fire of their size.The surface of the spheres has a spongy, yield-ing consistency and does not cause damageexcept by its flames. It can not push unwillingcreatures aside or batter down large obstacles.

If the spell is unleashed on a large sourceof easily combustible material (such as a cityof at least 50% wooden buildings or a dry for-est) there is a 25% chance that a fire storm willstart. A fire storm will burn out of control formany days until at least 90% of thecombustibles are burned. It will also be so hotthat it will melt soft metals and crack thin stonewalls.

The material components are a pinch ofsulphur, a bit of tallow, a dusting of powderediron, and a live fire dwelling/using creature,such as a fire beetle or fire bat, which must beslain during casting.❊

Pobithakor’s Placer (Alteration, Divi-nation)

Range: SpecialComponents: SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 1/2Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to Pobithakor’s tracer fornot only does it allow the two way scrying butthe caster has the option of pulling the scryingcreature “through” the two way portal right tothe casters current location. The creature getsno saving throw and the process occurs almostinstantly. The caster, unless special measuresare taken, has no control over the creatureonce it arrives.

This was another spell used by the paranoidmage when he felt his defenses beingcompromized.❊

Read Mind (Divination)Reversible

Range: TouchComponents: SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3 roundsArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

By means of this spell, the wizard can readknowledge or memory of the victim. Only con-scious knowledge and memory can be read,i.e. a Forget spell can hide information from thisspell, while a Remember spell can recall infor-mation for this spell. The victim may be con-scious or unconscious. A successful to hit rollmust be made on unwilling victims, which, ifconscious, also get to make a saving throw.Time required depends on the information thatis required, but is typically the time it would taketo relate the information wanted.

The reverse of this spell, Mind Shield (Abju-ration), protects the recipient from the effectsof a Read Mind spell for 1 day per level of thewizard.❊

Retrieve (Conjuration/Summoning,Divination)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: One objectSaving Throw: Special

This spell enables an item with the spellcast-er’s Wizard Mark inscribed on it to be instantlysummoned. The item must weigh no more thanone pound per level. The item must have aWizard Mark of the wizard’s glyph inscribedupon it.

When this spell is cast, the wizard can seein his mind all Wizard Marked items that havehis glyph. The glyph and the extra six charac-ters can be read. The wizard concentrates onone set of glyphs, and the item with that set ofglyphs inscribed on it is summoned. Only oneobject can be summoned per spell. During thecourse of the spell casting, the bearer of theitem will feel a small tugging sensation on theitem. If no one is in physical contact with theitem at the completion of the casting no sav-ing throw for retrieval is required: the spell isan automatic success. If someone is in physi-cal contact with the item, and he rolls a suc-cessful save vs. spells, then the item will notbe retrieved.

The item must be within 1 mile per level ofthe wizard to be retrieved. If the item is outsideof this range, the glyphs will still be seen anda general direction of where the item is will beindicated. If the item is not on the same planeas the wizard then no information will be given.Only the glyph and the characters from theWizard Mark are seen, not the item itself. Ifmore than one item is inscribed with the sameglyph and six characters, the DM should ran-domly pick one of the items and give the ap-propriate result.

The material component is a 500 GP dia-mond which should be gazed through for theduration of the spell. The diamond disappearsat the end of the casting. The item will replacethe diamond.❊

Sarius’ Fire Giant Manifestation(Conjuration)

Range: 30 m + 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 7 turnsArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a golem-like creaturewhich the mage may direct to perform certainprogrammed actions. The creature is a tempo-rary fire golem with no true intelligence and tomost appears as an undead fire giant. Thecreature may be controlled up to a distanceequal to the spell range but if it passes outsideof this range, or the spellcaster is killed, thecreature will explode in a 21 m radius areadoing damage equal to its current hit points(save vs. breath weapon for half damage). Thecreature created mimics most of the actions ofa fire giant, having AC 3, MV 12, HD 11 + 3, HP58, AT 1, DM 5-30, SP: Immune to fire, SZ: L (3.6m), Strength 22. The creature can fight with itssword only and has no ability to hurl rocks asdoes a normal fire giant. It can inflict structuraldamage points as a normal fire giant on around to round basis (Wood: 2, Soft Stone: 1,Hard Rock: 1/2).

The caster is able to direct the creature toperform 3 individual actions plus 1 for everytwo levels of experience above 14th level. Eachchange in action will cause the creature tohesitate for one round before working to act outthe next action. Actions can be classed as “kill-ing a group of orcs”, “killing a group of menwearing the same colours or armour”, “tearingdown a stone wall”, “pulling up a tree”, etc. Oncethe final action is completed the fire giant crum-bles into a pool of hot sulfur, effectively mak-ing a circular area 9 m in diameter full of sulfuricacid (which will kill all vegetation in the areaand causing 1-3 HP of damage per round toany organic creature in the area. Against mindaffecting spells, the creature is considered tohave an intelligence and wisdom of 3 (savingat -3 vs. these attacks). If the creature ischarmed or controlled by a mind affecting spellthe casters concentration is totally disruptedcausing the creature to dissipate and any otherspells the caster currently controls will becomedispelled unless the caster has no control over

the spells in question after casting them, andany spell the caster is currently casting will bedisrupted.

This spell requires only the slightest mentalcontrol of the caster to operate, allowing himto cast other spells normally that do not requirehis full concentration. Multiple castings of thisspell will work, but all of the detrimental effectsare cumulative. The material component of thisspell is a small pouch (5 cm squared) ofleather containing a patch of fresh (not dried)fire giant hair mixed with ruby dust of no lessthan 1,000 GP value. The fire giant hair may bekept fresh with a Preserve spell or similar ef-fect.


Sarius’ Temporal Demi-Plane (Con-juration, Evocation)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 hour/levelCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell uses the magical forces of theastral or ethereal planes to create a small demi-plane. This demi-plane is connected to thecurrent plane of the caster through a special(3 × 3 m) gateway which is invisible to all crea-tures except the caster unless they are able touse True Seeing. When cast, this spell causesastral or ethereal stone to form into a 3 m cube.This cube houses the physical structure of thedemi-plane, but the interior is a distorted di-mensional area with a volume equal to 0.27 m³of space per level of the spellcaster. In its drab,gray interior, the demi-plane is governed by thephysical and magical laws of the plane inwhich it is created (astral or ethereal), but doeshave a localized gravity which is under the con-trol of the caster (normally equal to that of thePrime Material plane but it may be lowered allthe way to 0 g at a rate of .1 g per round). Thereis no need for air and nutritional needs sincecharacters are governed by the normal astralor ethereal laws. The mage may change theinterior form, but may not decrease or increasethe volume of the demi-plane. Volume form ischanged in 3 m cubic blocks, and it is impos-sible to make any area smaller than 0.27 m,though, pits and similar obstacles can be cre-ated. Also, the normal temperature in the demi-plane is 20° Celsius and may not be changed.

A mage must touch someone for them tosee and enter the gateway, but, once inside,anyone may freely exit the demi-plane. If some-one is able to see the gateway through the useof True Seeing, and he is a mage familiar withthe Wizard Lock or Temporal Demi-Planespells, he may attempt to enter the gateway byusing his willpower to negate the need for thecasting mage’s touch. In game terms thismeans a successful percentile roll with a base50% chance modified plus or minus 5% forevery difference in level from the caster in anupward or downward progression, respectively.A mage seeing the gateway and meeting thestated prerequisites will automatically knowthat this is possible. Otherwise, only spells of


- 111 -

a wish-like nature will be able to discern the en-trance, though creatures with senses that ex-tend into the astral or ethereal planes will beable to see the large block of stone that makesup the external surface of the demi-plane areaand psionic characters may be able to useprobability travel to gate into the demi-plane ifthey are familiar with it.

The demi-plane does not allow access tothe astral or ethereal planes unless it is de-stroyed, or if the mage creates the demi-planewhile on one of these planes, in which case theentrance to the demi-plane is actually enteredon the plane in which it resides and not a con-necting outer or elemental plane. When thespell is initially memorized the caster mustdetermine whether he will cast the astral orethereal variant of this spell. It is impossible forboth to be used in the same area of effect (onthe Prime Material plane) due to conjugationsof magic energies required in maintaining thespell.

The structure containing the demi-plane isable to withstand 3 HP of structural damage(vs. hard stone) before it is disrupted. The ethe-real cyclone will inflict 1-100 HP of structuraldamage every time it passes over the area ofthe demi-plane and the psychic winds of theastral plane automatically inflict damage equalto one-half the current structural hit points ofthe demi-plane’s shell. The nature of the demi-plane causes it to stay in one spot so it maybe used as a reference point if the spell dura-tion is long enough (through the possible useof a permanency-type spell). But, no matterwhat spells are applied to the demi-plane, it willalways disrupt when its structural hit points arebrought to 0 or less. The contents of the demi-plane are then thrown into the plane of crea-tion and all creatures must save vs. spells at -6 or be knocked unconscious for a period oftime equal to one hour of time on the plane inquestion (not subjective time). If cast on theethereal plane the spell duration is extendedby a factor 10 and on the astral plane the du-ration is extended by a factor 1000.

The material component of this spell is aminiature platinum ziggurat embedded withperidots and having a finished value of at least1000 GP. The ziggurat weighs 0.1 lb.


Sever Shadow (Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: TouchComponents: V, SDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell operates as a Shades spell pro-ducing a 60% real duplicate of the creaturetouched as per a Shades spell. If the originalis a spell wizard the 60% applies to the shad-ows effective level for spell selection. Note thatall of the shadows spell effects are illusions.

The shadow creature is formed from theshadow cast by the original and will be com-pletely under the control of the original crea-ture through an ESP type link. The shadow

creature appears to have all the natural abili-ties of the original. Many of these shadow abili-ties will be illusionary.

No material component is required but thecreature must be lit to produce a shadow forthe spell to work. For the duration of the spellthe original creature will not cast a shadow, thespell is sometimes cast just for this particularside effect. The semi-real shadow form pro-duced by the spell will cast a shadow and canbe used to create a further duplicate, the 60%factor applies again, with another applicationof the spell.❊

Sillvatar’s Dragon Bite (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/2 levelsCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell is similar to Sillvatar’s Dragon Claw,except it conjures a shadowy dragon headwithin spell range. The procedures for attacksare as per that spell, except the victims whoare hit receive bite damage, instead of clawdamage.

In addition,each attack receives a +2 on all “to hit” rolls.

The caster may conduct 2 attacks using thisspell, each of which must occur in a separateround. The dragon head dissipates when bothattacks have been made, the duration expires,or the head is dispelled. The head is notharmed by other attacks.

Range: 0.3 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

When this spell is cast a magical door out-line, only seen by the wizard, will appear onefoot in front of the wizard. The wizard then mayenter through the outline (the wizard is the onlyone able to enter the doorway).

tion of new spell study, or the casting of anyother spells than healing spells. If an attemptto do this is made the room will explode, do-ing 30d20 to the wizard.

The wizard may stay in this room for 2 hours+ 1 hour per level, the catch being that as soonas he leaves they will have been gone for only1 second per hour spent in the room (exam-ple: Murlock, a 24th-level Wizard cast this spelland spends a whole day within the room, butwhen he leaves the room his companions statethat he has been gone for exactly 24 seconds).If a wizard is still in the room when the spell’sduration has come due, the wizard must makea saving throw at -5 or be hurdled into the void(note: the wizard does age normally when inthe room).

The material component for this spell is 50GP value of each of the following: diamonds,rubies, ivory and jade.❊

Uldark’s Radiant Bolt (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 100 m + 5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: One creature/boltSaving Throw: 1/2

When this spell is cast, a small interdimen-sional connection opens between the quasi-elemental plane of radiance and the caster’splane; through this opening, a 0.3 m diameterglowing sphere appears and slowly hoversaround the caster. This sphere contains allcolours of the spectrum; this sphere will last for2 rounds per level of the caster; if not used toits full potential at that time, the sphere dissi-pates.

During any round which the sphere is in ef-fect, the caster may discharge a bolt of onecolour of the spectrum; only one such attackmay be made in a single round, and the spheremay discharge only one bolt per colour; onceused, that colour disappears from the sphere.When all colours have been discharged, orwhen the duration expires, the sphere dissi-pates. Each bolt may affect one creature, andeach colour has a unique composition as fol-lows:

Colour:Colour:Colour:Colour:Colour: Composition:Composition:Composition:Composition:Composition: Item save vs.:Item save vs.:Item save vs.:Item save vs.:Item save vs.:

red fire magical fireorange poison n.a.yellow acid acidgreen gas n.a.blue lightning lightningindigo cold coldviolet force crushing blow

All the bolts do an identical amount of dam-age: 1d6 + 2 per level of the caster. A success-ful saving throw vs. spell reduces the damageby half. If this save fails, the victim’s posses-sions must save vs. the indicated composition(if applicable) or be destroyed.

There is a chance that an extraplanar crea-ture may enter through the opening wheneverthis spell is cast. The chance of this occurringis: 20% - 1% per level of the caster (to a mini-mum of 1%). Any creature entering the cast-er’s plane will normally be hostile to the caster.

The material component for this spell is acrystal or glass prism; light is sent through theprism to create a spectrum when the spell iscast. The prism is consumed with the castingof the spell.❊

Valcon’s Spectral Army (Illusion/Phan-tasm)

Range: 200 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 2 turnsArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

Using this spell, the caster may create anarmy of semi-real humanoids; any type of hu-manoid may be chosen, but all soldiers mustbe of the same type. Because the army issomewhat real, they may not be disbelieved.The army is made up of one or more “units,”each of which is comprized of 10 infantry sol-diers. The caster may create a number of unitsaccording to the following table:

CasterCasterCasterCasterCaster’’’’’s level:s level:s level:s level:s level: Number of units:Number of units:Number of units:Number of units:Number of units:

14-15 216-17 318-19 420+ 5

The army may appear anywhere within spellrange as desired by the caster. The army mustnot stray too far from the caster; they may moveup to a distance of 20 m per level of the caster.This spell will last until the caster wishes it toend, or until all units of the army are destroyed;however, a single caster may not have morethan two of these spells in effect at any onetime; any additional castings of the spell willfizzle and be wasted.

Each unit always moves and attacks as asingle entity; it will never split up, or act inde-pendently, as each unit is a single componentof the illusion. The unit will have an armourclass equal to: 22 -caster’s level, and hit pointsequal to 2 times the caster’s level (i.e. a 16thlevel caster, may create 3 units, each havingan AC of 6 and 32 hit points). All hits on the unitcount against the units’ hit point total; an indi-vidual soldier may not be destroyed, even if allhits are on a single target. Once the units’ hitpoint total is exceeded, all 10 soldiers in thatunit are destroyed. Besides melee attacks, thearmy may be dispelled, although only one unitmay be dispelled per dispel attempt.

Each unit will be equipped with armour ap-propriate to their AC, and will be armed accord-ing to what material components are used; thecaster may provide one or more weapons forevery unit he creates; the units will then bearmed with the corresponding weapon(s). Anynumber of weapons may be given to a single

unit, and each unit may be equipped differentlyfrom the rest; the only stipulation is that thecaster must have the appropriate number ofthe desired weapons available when the spellis cast (in the case of missile weapons, themissiles themselves need not be used as acomponent; the missile weapon suffices in thiscase). Continuing the example of the 16th levelcaster, the caster may elect to equip all 3 unitswith longswords only (at the cost of 3longswords as a material component) or maywish to diversify by equipping one with longbows and short swords, one with spears, andthe third with halberds; (at the cost of 1 eachof a long bow, short sword, spear, and halberdas a material component).

Since a unit always acts as a group, it mayonly make one or two attacks per round, un-less equipped with a weapon that normallyallows multiple attacks (i.e. a unit of long bowarchers would receive 2 or 4 attacks perround). If the unit makes only one melee attackin a round, it will inflict 1d8 points of damage ifsuccessful; if two melee attacks are made,each will inflict 1d4 points of damage if a hit isscored; the amount of damage does not de-pend on the type of weapon used - all causethe same amount of damage.

Missile attacks cause 1d4 points of damageif the minimum number of attacks are made,or 1d2 points of damage if the maximumnumber of attacks are conducted (i.e. a unitusing long bows would do 1d4 points of dam-age per hit if two attacks are made, or 1d2points of damage per hit if making 4 attacks).

Hurled weapons are not allowed by thisspell. Under no circumstances may these illu-sionary armies use any special attack ordefense forms normally employed by their race(i.e. an illusionary army of trolls will not regen-erate lost hit points). Strength, dexterity, andsimilar bonuses also do not apply.

In addition to the weapons required for ma-terial components, the caster must also havea suit of armour (and a shield, if desired) thatcomprise the appropriate armour class for theunits. One suit (and shield, if used) is sufficientfor all units created by this spell. All materialcomponents are consumed when the spellends.❊

Wind Tunnel (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, MDuration: 1d10 rounds + 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

By use of this spell, the wizard creates acylindrical tunnel of wind 3 m directly in frontof the wizard, 3 m in diameter, and stretching3 m per level in length. As long as the wizardmaintains concentration on the spell, the tun-nel’s primary section will be under the wizard’scontrol. Once concentration is broken, how-ever, it cannot be retained, and the tunnel willmove and grow in a random fashion for thespell’s duration, which cannot be shortened.The tunnel is capable of moving 3 m per roundand growing at both ends at the same rate. If


- 113 -

it splits into parts due to this movement, it willgrow at all loose ends for the duration of thespell.

The wizard and designated friends maypass through the controlled tunnel unscathed.Others, however, must make Strength checksto avoid being pulled into the tunnel, makemelee attacks at -2, and may take a point ofdamage per round from loose sand, dirt, orpebbles. While in the tunnel, missile and hurledattacks are made at -5. Such attacks throughthe tunnel “skin” are next to impossible. Notethat the wizard may walk, communicate non-verbally, and still maintain control, however ifthe wizard is hit or distracted, then control islost.

The material component for this spell is afan.❊

Wolldin’s Fearstalker (Illusion/Phan-tasm)

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell creates an illusionary creature inthe mind of its victim much the same as aPhantasmal Killer spell. The “fearstalker” ap-pears as a shadowy creature of a vaguelyhumanoid shape (only the victim and thecaster can see the creature). Once cast, thefearstalker will tirelessly pursue its target; if thevictim does not succeed in making a disbe-lieve check (this intent must be specificallystated) it will be attacked by the fearstalker.

The fearstalker has a movement rate of 24,has HD equal to half the caster’s level (roundeddown), has 2 attacks (2-12/2-12), and can behit only by +1 or better weapons. It is immuneto charms and other mind-affecting spells, butis susceptible to most other spells and magicattacks.

Once the battle has been joined, nothingshort of the death of one of the combatants willend it. Rendering the victim unconscious willnot help, as the fearstalker will enter the target’sdreams and the battle will continue normally.If the caster of the spell is slain or renderedunconscious, the current battle will continuenormally, but the fearstalker will not be able toreturn at a later time (see below).

If the victim of this spell is reduced to 0 hitpoints by the fearstalker, he must make a sys-tems shock roll; if this roll fails, the victim diesand the spell ends; if it succeeds, the targetonly believes he has died and falls into a comafor 2-24 hours. Only a Heal spell or a Wish willrouse the victim from this coma. If the targetreduces the fearstalker to 0 hit points, it willvanish instantly. However, in this case, thefearstalker is not actually destroyed; it will re-appear in 4-24 hours (at full strength) to againattack its victim (the fearstalker will not be ableto return if the caster has been slain, or if hewas unconscious at the time of the fearstalker’sdefeat in the previous battle).


The only way to permanently end this spell(short of the victim’s death) is to make a suc-cessful disbelieve check. The victim is allowedone such roll each time the fearstalker returnsafter being defeated, as well as when the spellis first cast. This disbelieve check has the samemodifiers applied to it as for the PhantasmalKiller spell. However, the wearer of a Helm ofTelepathy may not turn the fearstalker upon thecaster. If the victim is asleep or otherwise un-conscious when the fearstalker returns, thebattle will take place in the target’s dreams, andthe disbelieve check is made with a -2penalty.❊

Zandare’s Twist (Alteration, Enchant-ment)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Negates

By means of this spell the caster changesthe target creature, effectively, inside out. Theorgans are outside the body and the skin isinside. GM’s insert your own really graphicdescriptions here... The spell caster must havea small leather pouch for the casting. At theend of the seven segments the caster thrustshis hand into the bag and violently pulls thebag inside out. Now the target is either pain-fully turned inside out, or the caster looks likea total fool. The spells affects one medium sizecreature or two small creatures. Large crea-tures receive a +3 to their save.

Note that clothing, armour, etc. are in the in-side also.❊

Annihilate Matter (Invocation/Evoca-tion)

Range: 10 meters/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: 1-yard radius sphereSaving Throw: Negates

This spell causes a spherical region 1 me-tre in radius to appear anywhere within rangeof the wizard. In this region all matter vanishes.When it appears, a hurricane-force wind blowsinto the sphere as the air inside it is annihilated.All human-sized or smaller creatures in thevicinity who have no means of support mustmake a saving throw versus magic or lose theirbalance and be sucked into the sphere anddestroyed (in which case a Wish or possibly aLimited Wish is required to recover them).“Means of support” can include for example,holding onto something solid, being held byanother character, being under the influence ofa Fly spell or having the natural ability to fly orlevitate (e.g. a beholder).

Note that the wizard is not necessarily im-mune to being sucked into the sphere. Lightobjects which are not being held by anythingor anyone e.g. papers lying on a desk, are alsoliable to be sucked into the sphere and de-stroyed. Anything thrown into the sphere, shortof an artifact or relic, is automatically destroyed.While the sphere can move under control of thewizard, it is not a useful weapon because itmoves only at walking pace, hence even theclumsiest creature can easily dodge it. If anattempt is made to actually cast the spell at atarget, a saving throw indicates whether thetarget dodges or is hit and destroyed. A suc-cessful Dispel Magic will destroy the sphere,otherwise it neither affects nor is affected byspells.❊

Caligula’s Vitality Drain (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 7Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This terrible spell allows the caster to drainthe youth from a victim, revitalising himself, atthe expense of aging the victim. Hardly a spellused by good aligned mages.

The caster first prepares the spell, by cast-ing the eight phase portion of it. He then hashis level in rounds to make contact with thevictim, and begin draining. To drain the youthof the victim, the caster must be in continuouscontact with the flesh of the victim during thedraining process. The act of being drained isextremely painful to the victim, and is sufficientto awaken sleeping victims, and allowcharmed victims a new saving throw. Even ifthe victim is conscious, however, the drainingwill continue. The victim must break flesh con-tact with the mage to break the spell.

The caster is able to drain a decade forevery four levels he possesses, i.e. 20 yearsat fifth, 30 at ninth, 40 at 13th, etc. Each yeartakes a segment to drain, a decade drained perround. If the spell is broken during casting, thecaster will still have drained a number of yearsdependent on time of casting (e.g. contact bro-ken after 2 rounds, 20 years drained). Due tothe imperfect nature of the spell, however, thecaster only reduces in age by a year for everythree drained from the victim.

Both caster and victim will be affected by thechange in age. The victim will only suffer thedisadvantages of aging (STR and CON loss),whereas the caster will only experience thebenefits (STR and CON gain). After the spell,the victim will have visibly aged, with greyinghair, and lined, shaggy skin. The caster will ap-pear envigourated, with grey disappearingfrom his hair, and the obvious return of mus-cle tone. The victim must save vs. paralyze, orpass out for 1d4 turns, if he is drained morethan 20 years. The caster will experience atemporary d4 increase in STR (not includingthat gained from becoming younger), whichwill fade by 1 point a turn. The caster will alsofeel as if inebriated, an affect which persists ford6 rounds.

Jamye’s Spell Reversal (Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/level above 10thCasting Time: 8Area of Effect: Creature touchedSaving Throw: Special

This spell affects the saving throws vs. spellof the subject in much the same way that thefifth level spell Jamye’s Armour Reversal (q.v.)affects attack rolls, i.e. saving throw results thatwould normally indicate success will fail, andresults that would normally fail will succeed. Forexample, a 19th-level mage normally needs a6 or greater to save vs. a spell. If he is affectedby a Spell Reversal spell, he will need a 5 orless (i.e. a failure under normal circumstances)to save vs. a spell. Protection devices, Wisdombonuses, etc. all work to the benefit of the sub-ject, i.e. if the above mage had a Ring of Pro-tection +3 and a Wisdom of 16 (+2 magicaldefense), he would need an 8 or less to savevs. most spells (5 normally, +3 for the Ring) anda 10 or less to save vs. spells that would givehim his Wisdom bonus. Likewise, penalties to

saving throws still work to the detriment of thesubject. If the subject is willing, there is no sav-ing throw; otherwise, a normal save vs. spell(obviously, this is made before the spell takeseffect) will negate it.

There are certain special cases that applyto this spell. It is not affected by Spell Turning.The only thing that can dispel it is another SpellReversal cast at the subject, who must makea save while under the influence of the origi-nal Spell Reversal. If the subject is under theinfluence of another spell that grants invulner-ability to certain spells (Shield vs. Magic Mis-sile, for instance, or any type of Globe of Invul-nerability, but *not* Anti-Magic Shell), the sub-ject takes full, maximum damage from thatspell with no saving throw. For instance, a magehas both Shield and Spell Reversal cast uponhim. If he is targeted for Magic Missiles duringthe time both spells are functioning, he will take5 points of damage - the maximum possible -from *each* Missile that hits him.

The material components for this spell area piece of amber worth no less than 300 GP,and a doughnut made less than 24 hourspreviously.❊

Also, the energy bursts inflict10d6 points of damage on any attacker; asuccessful save vs. spell reduces this damageby half.

The material component for this spell is thesame as that for Mystyk’s Backlash except thegem must be worth at least 800 GP.❊

Mystyk’s Plane Survival (Abjuration,Alteration)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/levelCasting Time: 1 hourArea of Effect: One creature/5 levelsSaving Throw: None

This spell provides the caster with a meansof surviving on a hostile plane of existence. Inorder for this spell to work, the wizard musthave access to a library or other source of in-formation on the plane in question. This infor-mation must then be studied for an extendedlength of time; this period is equal to: 24 weeks- 1 week per level of the caster (to a minimumof one week). After this time has passed, thewizard is ready to cast the spell.

Each time this spell is cast for use on a newplane, the normal study time is required. If castfor use on a previously studied plane, and lessthan a week has passed since the last cast-ing with respect to that plane, no additionalstudying is necessary as the information is stillfresh in the wizard’s mind; however, if more thana week has elapsed since the previous cast-ing, a day of “brushing up” is required.

If the wizard is a sage with expertise in theplane in question, normal research times arerequired (see section on sages in the DMG)the first time this spell is cast for use on thatplane. If cast again within two weeks, no addi-tional time for studying is needed; if cast morethan two weeks later, only 12 hours of brush-ing up is necessary. These times also apply ifthe wizard is obtaining this information from an-other sage.

Using the information gained from his stud-ies, the caster prepares the Plane Survivalspell. After one hour has passed, the spell iscomplete; at this time, the DM (secretly) rolls


- 117 -

percentile dice; a result of 5 or lower indicatesthe wizard has used erroneous information inthe casting of the spell which will reduce theprotection afforded by the spell, and may evencause it to fail altogether (the exact effects de-pend on the source of information and otherfactors, and it is left to the DM to decide theexact results). If some or all of the planar in-formation was obtained by a sage who misdi-rected the wizard, the percentile roll has a -25%penalty applied to it. Even if correct informa-tion is obtained from a sage, a -5% penalty ap-plies, since the wizard is using secondhand in-formation. In any case, if the roll results in a 1,the spell fails altogether (although the casterwill not know this until attempting to make useof the spell’s protection).

If the spell was successfully cast, it will grantthe caster (along with others, if the caster’slevel is high enough) protection from the hos-tile environment of the studied plane of exist-ence. The recipients may move about in theplane as if they were in the prime materialplane; conditions that would make it hazard-ous or impossible to exist in the plane are ne-gated by this spell. Spells have a chance ofhaving normal affects while under the influenceof the Plane Survival spell: when a spell is cast,if the caster makes a successful save vs.paralysation, his spell will have normal affects(as if it were cast on the prime material plane)instead of the affects it usually has on thatplane.

If the recipients are still on the plane whenthis spell expires, normal characteristics forthat plane go into effect immediately. Note thatthis spell provides no way of moving from oneplane to another; it only provides a means ofsurvival once a plane is reached. The castermay have more than one of these spells inaffect at a time, as long as the appropriateamount of time has been spent studying eachplane.

The material components for this spell area diamond worth at least 1000 GP and a speci-men of a substance related to the plane inquestion (i.e some fire for the plane of fire,darkness for the negative material plane, etc.).Alternately, something symbolising the planemay be used (i.e. a balance for the plane ofconcordant opposition). All material compo-nents are consumed when the spell is cast.❊

This fear“strikes” with a 15 THAC0, is invulnerable to allattacks, and will kill the subject on a success-ful hit. Generally speaking, the only defensesave for distracting the wizard is an attempt todisbelieve (make Intelligence check on 3d6).


Phase Conjugation (Abjuration)


This powerful defensive spell provides su-perlative protection against directed energyattacks. Any spell or effect which projects adiscrete stream of energy at the recipient isdeflected back in the direction from which itcame. This is more than just a simple deflec-tion, however. The spell is Phase Conjugated,that means it retraces its path exactly. If therecipient is within 1/2 the range of the attack-ing spell, the offending wizard suffers the fulleffect of his own spell, no save allowed. Thereason this is so is that the wizard cannot pos-sibly dodge fast enough to avoid the rebound-ing energies. Only magic resistance, and what-ever other defenses he may have, will protecthim.

Examples of spells effected by Phase Con-jugation are:

• any ray-type spell,• Magic Missiles of any type,• Lightning Bolts (Call Lighting will not strike

wizard), and• Cone of Cold, Heat, or Force (only the re-

cipient is protected).

Examples of spells not affected are:• Fireball, or any similar magic (they change

form on impact),• breath weapons,• Power Words,• touch spells, and• Cone of Acid or Steam (they project mat-

ter, not energy).

The material component of this spell is asmall device consisting of three highly polishedtriangular mithril mirrors set at right angles toeach other, forming a corner of a cube. Thisdevice costs at least 1000 GP.❊

This spell conjures 250 flea-infested rats thatcarry the bacteria Yersinia pestis, commonlyknown as the Black Death or Bubonic plague.These rats will act as any other rat and simplyscurry away. If this spell is cast in a humanoidcommunity, it will cause a number of human-oids to become infected with the disease andprobably die. The number of people infecteddepends on the size of the community, theseason, and a little bit of chance. In the follow-ing table, the column entitled “Number In-fected” gives a number of creatures infectedin the community or a percentage of creaturesinfected. Use the value that gives the smallestnumber.

For example, if the spell was cast in a villageof 200 elves in the middle of summer, thechoice from the table is 300 elves or 60 elves(30% of 200), the number infected is then 60(because it’s the smaller number and 300 isimpossible). It will take 2d6 days for the crea-tures to become infected.

Pilpin’s Ephemeral Wand (Enchant-ment)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day

Casting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: WandSaving Throw: None

This dangerous spell turns a specially pre-pared wand into a magical wand for one day.The wand can be used by anyone who knowsthe command word, which is decided upon bythe wizard.

The power the wand contains depends onwhat spell the wizard decided to enchant thewand with. The wand can be made to cast anysingle spell, chosen by the wizard, of up to fifthlevel that has a casting time of up to 1 round(i.e., Find Familiar, Strength, Phantom Steed,Hallucinatory Terrain, Conjure Elemental, etc.,could not be used).

The number of charges the wand containsdepends on the number of times the wizardcasts the chosen spell into the EphemeralWand (i.e., obviously it cannot be more thanfive charges). The wizard must have previouslymemorized the appropriate spells. For exam-ple, a 16th-level wizard creates an EphemeralWand that casts the fifth-level spell Wall of Iron.If the wizard wanted to put five charges in thewand he would have to use all five of his fifth-level spell slots to memorize five Walls of Iron.He would then use all five of his Walls of Ironto give the wand five charges. The wand can-not have different spells in it, a different wizardcannot add charges to it, nor can it be re-charged. The spell in the wand takes as longto activate as the casting time of the spell, andthe spell performs at the experience level ofits creator. There is a 5% chance per usagethat the spell cast from the Ephemeral Wandbackfires, the exact details depending on thespell being cast (DM’s love this kind of thing!).

The casting time for this spell is 1 turn plus1 round per charge added.

The material component is an ivory wand,inlaid with a special gold pattern (minimum1000 GP in craftsmanship) and topped with adiamond worth at least 1000 GP. The wanddoes not disappear at the end of the spell (al-though it could very well get stolen): it simplybecomes non-magical.❊

Sarius’ Ethereal Gateway (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

Range: 6 m/levelComponents: V, SDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This spell allows a mage to create a 3 × 3 ×3 m invisible magical gateway which will pro-vide access to the ethereal plane of existence,or alternatively, provide a gateway from theethereal plane to a connecting plane of exist-ence. The duration of this gateway is a base24 hours. It must be cast in an area of gase-ous or waterous makeup (i.e., not in the earthor in solid rock), although, it may be cast so asto lay on the floor (giving a chance of creaturesfalling into it) or against a wall or portal. Forevery two levels above 16th a mage gains theability to create an additional 3 × 3 m area (twoif a Conjurer specialist) which must either beused to increase the surface area of the gate-way or increase the power of the original 3 × 3m area by infusing the two gateways together.The effects of increasing the power level of agateway are listed in the table below.

If a gateway is larger than 3 × 3 m then allof its surface area blocks must be increasedto the same level of power to allow the gate-way the next higher power rating. For example,a 26th level mage creates a gateway with di-mensions of 9 × 3 m and has three slots left,so he will be able to double the surface areapower rating to 2 if he so chooses. But, if hewere to use one of the remaining slots to makean add an additional 3 × 3 m block to the sur-face are he would have no chance of raisingthe power rating of the gateway to 2. Note thatif a gateway is too small for a creature to fitthrough it will not be able to totally go throughthe portal, though, it will be able to poke partof its body through and exist simultaneouslyon both planes.

* Usually magical swords and similar itemslose a plus for plane crossing.

Each additional power slot beyond a ratingof 3 adds a 10% extra percentage that this spellwill resist a Dispel Magic. For game purposes,this is added onto the dispeller’s percentageas a penalty.

Casting time is one turn for the initial gate-way area and is doubled every time another 3× 3 m block is added onto the area (i.e., 2 turnsfor 2 3 × 3 m blocks or slots, 4 turns for 3 3 ×3 m blocks or slots, 8 turns for 4 3 × 3 m blocksor slots, etc.). Therefore, casting a gateway thatuses 6 slots would take a total of 32 turns. Ifthe casting is interrupted after any slots havebeen created only further creation of gatewaysurface areas or power slots is disrupted.

For every 6 turns the caster spends castingthis spell the mage’s constitution score is re-duced by one point. If the mage’s constitutionreaches 0 he becomes unconscious and onlya week of complete bed rest will allow him tostart regaining lost constitution. Otherwise,these points are replaced at a rate of 1 pointfor every two days of complete bed rest. Thepoint is not taken unless a full 6 turns of cast-ing has expired. A Heal spell will negate the un-consciousness and raise the mage’s constitu-tion to 1 point. A Restoration will totally negatethe effects of any lost constitution.

Gateways, once created, may not be alteredby further castings of this spell on the samearea of effect. Only a successful Dispel Magicis capable of destroying a gateway, althoughhigher level power ratings can make a gatewayresistant to this spell. Power rating 1 gatewaysare visible to creatures on the exit side of thegateway (usually the ethereal plane) and mayattract wandering monsters, though they willmost likely not be able to pass through. Any-one may pass through the portal on the invis-ible entrance side, but only the mage mayfreely take creatures back through the exit sideby touching them as they pass through. Themage may create magical amulets (base 500GP value) which will allow any creature to freelyuse gateways cast by him as though he weretouching them. On the ethereal plane, thecaster and anyone possessing an amulet willbe able to find any portal of the caster in 5-50hours.

Any mage familiar with this spell (i.e., eitherpossessing the spell as a castable spell in hisspellbook, or having used a Write spell to put

the spell in his spellbook) is capable of tryingto force their way through the exit side back tothe entrance side by force of will. There is abase chance of 50% modified by plus or mi-nus 5% for every point of difference betweenthe mage’s current level and the level of thecaster at the time of casting, thoughConjuration specialists have a base 70%chance.

There are no material components to thespell, and the magical amulets may be createdat any time the mage wishes, whether beforeor after the casting of this spell.

This spell will not work with the 8th level Per-manency spell.

globeSaving Throw: None

This spell causes all creatures teleportinginto or out of the area of effect to arrive in aprepared area. The area which the casterwishes people to appear in must also be in thearea of effect.

The space the caster wishes incomingteleporters to arrive at must be open area, freefrom objects. It can be in the air however, caus-ing incomers to fall. Should a personteleporting into an area effected by this spellbe larger than the area he would be sent to,then he is effectively blocked and would notbe able to teleport at all to the area.

Example: Archmage Istle casts TeleportWarp on his tower. He wishes all people whounexpectedly arrive to be placed in his dun-geon cell which is 3 × 3 × 3 m. The cell is alsoin the area of effect, at the bottom of his tower,which totally is under the spell. Thus a personwho teleports to his tower will arrive in a dun-geon cell instead of the wizards guest cham-bers. If Golstein the Chaotic decides to sendhis 5.4 m tall iron golem over to Istle’s bedchamber, he will find the golem still there, un-moved.

All forms of teleport magic are affected, thusDimension Door, Pattern Teleports and the likealso would be warped. This is a great spell forthe mage wishing to “block” an area for outsideaid coming in short of all out planar travel.

This spell allows the caster to duplicate theeffects of any one spell he has ever seen cast- even if he does not know how to cast thespell, lacks the necessary material compo-nents, and is ignorant of even the spells name.The duplicated effect cannot be a magical itemdischarge, psionic effect, natural spell-likepower, or a priest spell. The damage, extent,and duration of the duplicate spell match ex-actly those of a chosen casting that the castersaw. The target of the spell is up to the caster;it need not duplicate that of the observed cast-ing.

A return can’t be used to duplicated anyspell available to the caster. A spell that wascast once form a scroll, which then faded, isn’t“available”, but any spell studied, copied into aspellbook, or researched by the caster wouldbe considered “available”, even if the spellbookis presently inaccessible and the spell isn’tmemorized. (This prevents a mage from usinga return to forever duplicate the high-damageeffects of an especially successful fireball orother favorite spell.)

However, the flamescaused by this spell will continue to burn for 4rounds (the initial round, plus 3 additionalrounds). The damage inflicted on victims insidethe area of effect, the bonus to the victim’ssaving throw, and the radius of the flames varyaccording to how long the flames have beenburning, as follows:

Damage suffered is cumulative from oneround to the next, but the save bonus is not.Anyone who makes a successful save takesonly half damage that round, and automaticallysaves on any subsequent rounds; those whofail their saves suffer full damage, and musthave all their possessions save vs. magical fireto avoid destruction. If anyone leaves the areaof effect and returns later, a new save must bemade, even if the previous one was success-ful.

The conflagration may, or may not conformto a confined space, at the caster’s discretion.Apart from the changes mentioned above, theconflagration otherwise acts like a Fireball.

The material components for this spell arethe heart of a red dragon, and a powdereddiamond worth at least 600 GP.❊

Damians Mindswap (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 21 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Negates

When this powerful enchantment is cast, thespell user attempts to rip the target creaturessoul from its body and temporarily place it ina gem of not less than 15000 GP. At the sametime the casters soul is eased from his bodyand also travels through the gem. When, andif, both souls are in the gem, they both proceedto the opposed bodies from which they came.You’ll note that this has two very noticeableeffects:

1) the caster and victim have essentiallyswapped minds (or bodies, whichever youprefer), this has the effect that the caster nowtakes on the physical attributes of that body(i.e. STR, CON, DEX and COM). The caster stillretains his own mental capacities and previousknowledge (i.e. INT, WIS, CHR, hit points andlevel).

2) If the caster or victim can kill their oldbody (i.e. their swapped body) then the oth-ers soul goes to its respective plane. Thus, aftercompletion of the spell, if the caster kills his oldbody then he can never be displaced from hisnew, for in all intents and purposes it is hisbody now. If neither is killed and at some laterpoint in time a cleric casts an Dispel Evil spellat either body (both have to be within 21 me-tres of each other though) the caster of theoriginal Mindswap must save vs. death or re-turn to his old body.

If the save vs. this spell is made it indicatesthat this persons body will never accept thecasters soul and need never fear this spell fromthe same caster again.❊

Ding Shu’s Draconian Holocaust(Invocation, Evocation)

Range: 60 m + 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 roundCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: 0.6 m/level by 3 m

per level swathSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell causes to what appears to be ahuge Celestial Dragon to appear in the air andswoop down spewing forth its fiery breath.

The spell affects an area of 0.6 m wide by 3m long per level of the caster. All creatures inthe area of effect take 1D10 + 2 points of dam-age from the fire.

This spell does structural damage to all con-structions in the area of effect. The damage is3/2/1/.5 points to wood/earth/soft stone/hardstone per level of the caster.

The material component of this spell is thescale from a fire breathing dragon and a Po-tion of Firewater.❊

Ding Shu’s Marvelous Chopsticks(Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 36 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 6Area of Effect: 36 m radius sphereSaving Throw: None

This spell brings into existence a pair ofhuge chopsticks, 9 m long, which attacks allcreatures as if they were AC 10 (modified bydexterity). These giant chopsticks attack withthe casters THAC0.

Victims weighing more than 5 tons are im-mobilized by the chopsticks, while those oflesser weight will be picked up, and may bedeposited, within the same round, at any pointin the spell’s range. Those who successfully rollto bend bars manage to free themselves, butthey may suffer falling damage as a result.

Most probably, the caster will choose todeposit the victims into a gargantuan mouthwhich appears above his head. This mouth canhold 2 size L, 4 size M, or 8 of size S creaturesat one time.

Each round, the mouth „chews“ its contentsfor 10D10 damage each. When a creaturetrapped inside the mouth is reduced to below0 hit points, the creature is „swallowed“ into theastral plane, and more room becomes availablefor creatures to be dropped into the mouth.

Normally, persons reduced to such a hitpoint score would die in a matter of minutes,but in the timelessness of the astral plane, theymay remain unconscious but barely alive forthousands of years, provided they had morethan -10 hit points when they entered the plane.

This of course is only valid in campaigns whichuse the optional rule concerning hovering atdeath’s door.

If the creature caught by the chopsticksweighs more than 5 tons, then the mouth willmove toward the trapped creature and startbiting it into little pieces until it is all gone.

The spell requires minimal concentrationand direction once it has been cast. This allowsthe caster to cast other spells, and maintainconcentration on them instead.

If the caster is killed before the end of thespell’s duration, the mouth and chopsticks willremain, with the chopsticks capturing creaturesthat were enemies of the caster and deposit-ing them in the mouth when space allows.

Naturally, the material component of thisspell is a pair of chopsticks.❊

Expanded Awareness (Alteration,Divination)Reversible

Range: 1.5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell, when used, gives the caster agreat deal of information about the immediatearea. The caster receives the effects of thefollowing spells or spell like powers:

• Detect Charms and Curses• Detect Enemies• Detect Evil or Good• Detect Illusion• Detect Invisibility• Detect Lie• Detect Magic• Detect Phase• Detect Poison• Detect Psionics• Detect Secret Doors• Detect Traps

The spell remains constantly in effect andthe caster receives all the information at once.There is no problem with assimilating the data.The range of detection for this spell is 1.5 m perlevel of the caster.

With the appropriate spell reversals, thecaster using this spell could become blind tosome or all of the things that the spell detectsfor as long as the spell would normally last. Forexample, the reversal of know alignment castupon the caster will cause him to be unable todetect evil or good. In some instances, it willbecome obvious to the caster that some of thedetections are lost.

The reverse of this spell causes one crea-ture to be unable to detect, by any means, anyof the above things for the magic of the spellwill render all attempts ineffective. There is nosave versus this effect.❊

Fellstar’s Flame Sheet (Evocation)


This is an improved version of Fellstar’sFlame Arc; it is identical to that spell, with thefollowing exceptions:

The flames fall to the ground from the heightat which they were cast, so in effect, anyoneat the initial height or below is affected by theflames. In addition, if these flames are blockedby an obstacle, they will flow around the bar-rier and will rejoin at a distance equal to thewidth the obstacle; therefore, if the flames areblocked by a 0.6 m wide boulder, they will re-join 0.6 m behind the rock. This applies in boththe horizontal and vertical dimensions.

The flames from this spell will continue toburn for one round after the spell is cast; any-one hit by the flames on the first round suffers10d10 points of damage, and those hit on thesecond round suffer 5d10 points of damage.On either round, a successful save vs. spell re-duces the damage by half (saves for the sec-ond round are at +2); if this save fails, all pos-sessions must save vs. magical fire or be de-stroyed. Note that damage is cumulative ifcaught in the flames on both rounds the spellis in effect.

The material components for this spell areas per those for the Flame Arc spell, with theaddition of one or more gems worth at least500 GP. The gems and the volcanic rock areconsumed when the spell is cast.❊

Fenzill’s Phantasmal Fingers (Nec-romancy)

Range: 40 m + 5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 2 rounds/levelCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: One targetSaving Throw: None

This spell is an enhanced version of thesecond level spell Spectral Hand; it differs fromthat spell in the following ways: it can be usedto deliver a touch spell of any level and it givesa +3 to the attack roll. It has an AC of -4, but itcannot be destroyed by any attack (it may onlybe dispelled). Instead, any hit on the hand in-flicts full damage on the caster (although asuccessful save vs. spell reduces this damageby half). The caster may end the spell with asingle word.❊

Fire Gem (Abjuration, Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 3 turnsArea of Effect: One gemSaving Throw: None

This spell requires an expensive gem. Thevalue of the gem depends on the number ofspell levels that will be cast into the gem. Thegem’s value must be 5000 GP per spell levelof the spell or spells (cumulative). This spellcauses a gem to have a flame appear at thecentre. The flame has no real significance otherthan that the gem is ready to receive spell(s).After a spell is cast into a gem it can be calledforth in one tenth of a round. The spell will actat the level it was cast into the gem. The gemwill be destroyed in the process.

A spell that is going to be placed into a firegem must be equal to or less than the wizardslevel divided by four, rounded down. An 18th-level wizard could put up to a fourth-level spellinto a fire gem. A 24th-level wizard could putup to a sixth-level spell into a fire gem.

If a Permanency spell is used on a fire gem,it will allow the spell to be cast a number oftimes per day. To determine how many timesthe spell or spells can be cast, divide the wiz-ard’s level by five times the level of the spell,i.e., a first-level spell cast into a fire gem at 18thlevel will be able to be cast 18/5 or 3 times aday. If a Conduit spell is added before the Per-manency it will double the effects of the spell(if appropriate) and double the number of usesper day.

Remember that a Permanency and a Con-duit spell are a total of 19 spell levels. There-fore a Conduit, Permanency and a Magic Mis-sile would require a gem costing 20*5000 =100,000 GP gem. Also the wizard would beunable to cast spells for 20 days (due to effectof the Conduit spell).❊

Genocide (Evocation, Necromancy)

Range: 5 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: 6 m radius sphereSaving Throw: Special

This spell allows the caster to kill one or morecreatures of the same species: the casterchooses a creature as the initial target for thespell, and after the incantations are complete,a black bolt shoots forth from the caster’s fin-ger towards the chosen target. If this creaturemakes its saving throw vs. spell at -2 (or if ithas 15 or more HD) there is no effect and thespell terminates.

If the save of the initial target fails, the crea-ture dies, and the spell continues as follows: ifthere are no more creatures of the same spe-cies within the area of effect, the spell ends atthis point. Otherwise, the bolt will continuejumping to other targets. The bolt jumps ran-domly from one target to the next; range is nota consideration - as long as the target is in thearea of effect, and it is of the appropriate race,


- 125 -

it may be hit by the bolt. Each creature that ishit with the bolt must make a successful sav-ing throw vs. spell (with no modifiers) or die.

This spell will affect a number of hit diceequal to: 10 HD + 1 HD per level of the caster(the number of creatures is not a factor). Thespell will terminate when one or more of thefollowing occurs: the HD limit is exceeded,there are no more potential targets in the areaof effect, or the bolt strikes a target with morethan 15 HD (such a creature is unaffected bythis spell). Each target hit with the bolt countstowards the HD limit, whether its saving throwwas successful or not.

The bolt will never jump to a creature of a dif-ferent species, or to one that has already beenhit (whether living or dead). Any creature withmore HD than the original target will not beaffected by the bolt, but its number of HD isstill counted towards the HD limit of the spell.If a target’s HD would exceed the limit of thespell, it is not affected (and the spell termi-nates).

The bolt will never jump back to the caster;in addition, the caster may choose individualsto be unaffected by the spell simply by nam-ing them as part of the incantations (usuallyused to avoid killing friends or allies).

Note that some races are closely related, butare not considered identical species for pur-poses of this spell (i.e. goblinkind). „Half-breeds“ will be affected by this spell if eitherof their parent-race is targeted, as well as whenthe cross-breed is specifically targeted. How-ever, if a parent-race is named as the target, ahalf-breed of that race earns a +2 to its save.For example, a half-elf is affected normally ifhalf-elves are named as the target of this spell.They would also be affected if either humansor elves were targeted, although they wouldgain a +2 to their saves in the latter two cases.

After this spell is cast, the wizard must makea successful system shock roll or fall uncon-scious for 1d10 rounds. Note that the DM maywish to inflict other penalties on the caster dueto loss of blood (see material componentsbelow), especially if the spell is cast more thanonce is a short period of time.

The material components of this spell are apint of the caster’s blood and a figurine/statu-ette of the race to be targeted. The blood isconsumed at the time of the casting, and thefigurine is also destroyed, unless the castermakes a successful save vs. spell.❊

Greater Disintegration (Abjuration,Alteration)

Range: 100 feet/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: 10-foot long cube/levelSaving Throw: Negates

This powerful spell is a long range, heavyversion of Disintegrate. When cast, a sizzlingblue beam springs from the wizard’s handdestroying 1000 cubic feet of matter (10-footlong cube) per level of the wizard.

The material component is a pinch of resi-due from a normal Disintegrate spell. The sav-ing throw is made at a -2.❊

Kiri’s Possession (Enchantment/Charm)

Range: 10 feet/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 rounds/levelCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: One personSaving Throw: Negates

This spell allows a wizard to totally dominateand possess another. When the wizard pos-sesses his target, he in effect becomes it there-fore he knows what abilities the possessedbeing has. The possessing wizard can forcethe possessed being to use any of its powers,spells or combat abilities at no penalty, or thewizard can choose to cast his own spellsthrough the creature. The incredible part of thisspell is, is that if the wizard is not casting a spellof his own through the possessed creature, hecan give the creature orders and can still actfully on his own!

After the spell has worn off, the possessedcreature will not remember anything that hashappened. A save vs. spells is allowed to re-sist this spell.

The material component is a marionette at-tached to strings that must be shaken as thespell is cast.❊

Lazatar’s Spellstopper (Abjuration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 2 hoursArea of Effect: 9 m² section of wall/

levelSaving Throw: None

This very potent abjuration is used to protecta castle, keep, city, etc. from one or more en-emy spells. For each level the caster has ob-tained, he may protect up to a 9 m² section ofwall; more than one application of this spellmay be cast on a single wall at once, as longas the areas of protection do not overlap (thecaster may shrink the area of effect to any sizeless than the maximum, as desired); in otherwords, no one brick of the wall may be underprotection by more than one Spellstopper at atime. The protection afforded by this spell ex-tends to individuals on top of an affected wall.

The Spellstopper may be used to affect oneother spell for each level of the caster; thus a19th level caster may provide protectionagainst 19 other spells directed at the protectedarea. These affected spells may be *any*

spells, with the exception of Wish and DispelMagic; however, the chosen spells must beones the caster already has learned. Once thisspell is cast, any of the chosen spells directedat the protected area automatically fail; theSpellstopper has no affect on other spells.

The Spellstopper may be removed by a Wishor it may be dispelled. For every non-chosenspell cast at the area of effect, the chance fordispelling the Spellstopper is increased a per-centage equal to the level of the spell. This bo-nus is cumulative (up to 25%) and lasts for oneturn. In order to earn this bonus, the wall itselfmust be targeted; an attack directed at a de-fender on top of the wall does not contributeto this bonus.

As an example, let us assume a wall is pro-tected from, among others spells, Passwall, andMagic Missile, and that Fireball and TransmuteRock to Mud are not affected. On the firstround, a Magic Missile is directed at one of thedefenders; since the wall protects its defend-ers, the spell is stopped. The next round, aPasswall is cast on the wall; since it too is achosen spell, the Passwall has no affect. Onthe third round, a Fireball is cast at the defend-ers, and since it was not named during thecasting of the Spellstopper, it has full effect; inaddition, if a Dispel Magic was cast within oneturn, it would have a 3% bonus, since Fireballis a third level spell. Nine rounds after the Fire-ball is cast, a Transmute Rock to Mud is caston the wall; it too has full effect; if a DispelMagic was cast now, it would have an 8% bo-nus applied to it (3% for the Fireball and 5%for the Rock to Mud). Two rounds later, anotherRock to Mud is cast; subsequent dispel at-tempts now have and 10% bonus (5% for eachRock to Mud; the 3% for the Fireball no longerapplies, as it has been more than 10 roundssince it was cast).

Each casting of the Spellstopper temporar-ily reduces the caster’s constitution by 1d4points; an hour of undisturbed rest will restoreone constitution point lost in this manner. If thecaster’s constitution is reduced to 0 or less bycasting this spell, he must make a successfulsystem shock roll to prevent actual death.

The material component for this spell is athin sheet of lead, as well as the material com-ponents for *all* spells the Spellstopper willprotect against.❊

Lazzaro’s Murderous Sword (En-chantment)


This spell is a version of Mordenkainen’ssword, but with a twist. This spell causes ashimmering aura to form around any sword.This sword will then arise and be at the com-mand of the spell caster. He may order to at-tack, defend, guard, or whatever. The swordcan respond to moderately complex tasks like,„Let no one through this door unless they saythe word, ixitayal.“


- 126 -

In combat the sword hit any AC on a 19 or20, it has the same hit points as a fighter of thelevel of the caster (18 con), has the same ACas the caster, and fights like a fighter of thesame level (i.e. 2 attacks per round, THAC0whatever). It attacks as if wielded by someonewith an 18/00 strength (+3,+6). It also has it’sown bonuses; it requires a magical sword asmaterial component. If the sword has any spe-cial abilities these will also be used in the com-bat.

The sword acts independently of the caster(obviously) and requires no concentration tomaintain. However the caster must remain with50 m of the sword or it falls to the ground, inert(with magic drained from it). The ways to de-feat the sword: render the caster unconscious,hit it for loss of hit points, encase it in some-thing, or successfully dispel it.

As discussed above the material compo-nent is a magical sword, the magic of which isconsumed after the spell ends (gives high levelmages a reason to collect all those magicswords and destroy them in the process). Theother material component is a gem with thesoul of fighter trapped in it. This gem becomesembedded in the sword during the spell. Eachtime the gem is used, it has a cumulative 5%change of shattering, freeing the poor soulinside. Obviously the gem is not consumedafter the spell ends.❊

Lichdom (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 3 hoursArea of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: Special

When this spell is cast, the wizard saves vs.Death. If he fails, he becomes a lich, otherwisehe dies. Should he be raised or resurrected, hecan try again. This spell makes clear why a wiz-ard has to be 18th level to be able to becomea lich.❊

Lorth’s Translocation (Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 1 roundArea of Effect: CasterSaving Throw: None

Lorth’s Translocation is a the most advancedteleport-class spell ever devised. Given a de-scription of any sort, the caster is able to placehimself at the specific location. The descrip-tion might be a detailed mental image, a ver-bal description, a painting, „Nine metres dueeast“, „The center of the room in which standsthe Sceptre of Ashka Mankh“, or anything elsesufficiently precise. If there does not exist alocation such as the one described, nothingwill happen. If the description is insufficientlyprecise („A field of grass“, „The center of a

forest“), the spell will have no effect. If the lo-cation does exist, then the caster will beplaced there, no matter where it is.

This spell can transport the caster to anyplane, any distance. Note however that it isvery, very difficult to describe a specific placein planes such as the Astral or the Ethereal, dueto the lack of good landmarks. Of course, ifthere should happen to be a solid object in theplace described, the caster is slain instantly.❊

Magic Swarm (Alteration)

Range: SpecialComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

The magic swarm spell is both a very potent,and a very unstable spell. With this spell, thewizard may bind up to three attack-type spells(those that cause any type of damage) to-gether into one spell. The caster begins theincantations of the magic swarm and then„loads“ the spells to be bound into the swarm(this effectively casts the spells - the propercomponents are required, and the loadedspells fade from memory; the magic swarm isthe „target“ for these spells). The wizard thenfinishes the binding process by continuing theincantations of the swarm. This entire processtakes two turns plus the casting times of thespell(s) to be bound.

When the magic swarm is actually cast, thebound spells are released simultaneously (thishas a casting time of 3). However, due the un-predictable nature of this spell, there is achance that some of the bound spells may notfunction normally. At the time of casting, the DMrolls 1d3; the result is the number of spells thatwork properly - the remaining spells fizzle andare lost (the spells go off in the order they werebound, so it is important to keep track of theorder). Due to the extreme exertion required tocast this spell, the following penalties/stipula-tions are placed on its use:

• only one magic swarm spell may bememorized in any two day period.

• after a magic swarm is cast (actually cast,not after binding), no further spell casting ispossible for one turn (10 minutes).

• after the spell is cast, the caster tempo-rarily loses 1d4 constitution points; if this bringsthe wizard’s constitution score to zero or be-low, a system shock roll must be made; if thisroll is failed, the wizard dies, otherwise he fallsinto a coma until his constitution is restored toa positive value; it takes one hour of rest to re-store one constitution point lost in this manner.

• if the magic swarm is not cast in one hourper level of the caster, the caster must make asaving throw vs. spell; if this save fails, theswarm will discharge will full effect, centeredon the caster (1d3 is still rolled to determinehow many spells actually go off and how manyfizzle); if the save is successful, the magicswarm simply fades from memory and is lost(along with all bound spells).

The material component for this spell is aBag of Holding (which effectively „holds“ thespells in the bound state). When the spell iscast, the bag is destroyed unless the castermakes a successful saving throw vs. spell at -2.❊

Mental Library (Alteration)


This spell is similar to the Mental Ledgerspell in that it enables the caster to record in-formation in some unused portion of the cast-ers brain and then gives the caster the abilityto read the information at a later date as if theywere reading it in their own hands.

This spell actually will allow the caster to holdas many spells as he knows and any that thecaster might learn in the future. In fact, anyspells that are stored in the casters brainthrough the use of the spell will remain thereessentially forever available for recall whennecessary.

This spell also allows the caster to recordinformation other than spells in this „storagearea“. The caster can store the entire contentsof any book that he reads and can access thebook at any time in the future just like the spellMental Note.

Too add more information after the spell iscast requires that the caster cast the spellagain at the time that they wish to add moreinformation.

This spell is highly useful for mages on thego who want all their spells and library withouthaving to carry it around for themselves.

The casting time depends on what is beingstored. It takes one hour per spell level per spellmemorized, and it takes the time it takes thecaster to read a book to store a book (thecaster is allowed to take short breaks andsleep if there is a large amount of informationbeing memorized).

The material components for this spell thefirst time it is cast is a specially prepared leadcrystal which has been enchanted to absorbmagical energies. The value of this item is noless than 50000 GP. To add more informationin subsequent castings, the caster would re-quire a pure lead crystal of 5000 GP (as in themental ledger spell).❊

Mezzalldam’s Choking Fist (Evoca-tion)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None


- 127 -


This spell creates a disembodied hand simi-lar to those of Bigby’s Hand spells, except it ismuch smaller (about the size of an ogre’shand). It will attack as directed by the caster(no concentration is required to do so - thewizard simply chooses the target). The handdoes not automatically hit, but will attack us-ing the caster’s THAC0, with a +2 „to hit“ bo-nus.

If a hit is scored, the fist closes tightly aroundthe victim’s throat; it will continue squeezinguntil the target is dead, or until the hold is bro-ken. Once per round, the fist’s lock may bebroken by making a successful bend bars roll(the victim has a 10% penalty applied to thisroll); only one person may do this each round,due to the small size of the hand. Other partymembers who try to free the victim must de-vote their entire attention to this for the round(i.e. no other action may be taken, DEX bo-nuses to AC are lost, etc.).

Each round the victim is choked, a systemshock roll must be made; each additionalround (past 1) of constriction inflicts a 5% pen-alty to this roll. If this roll fails, the victim fallunconscious and if the hold is not broken thefollowing round, the victim dies. While a victimis being choked he may perform no other ac-tions (other than breaking the fist’s hold) - allthe target’s efforts are required to fight the ef-fects of the constriction. The fist will continueattacking until it is destroyed/dispelled, or un-til the spells’ duration expires; the caster canalso end the spell with a single word.

The fist may be destroyed by direct attack;it has an armour class of -2 and as many hitpoints as the caster at full health. The fist willalso break its hold on a victim every time itloses half its remaining hit points. Note how-ever, that attacking the fist while it is chokinga victim is dangerous; if an attack on the fistfails to hit, another normal attack must be im-mediately rolled against the victim, inflictingany damage normally. If the fist’s hold is re-leased or broken, it may be attacked withoutfear of hitting companions. If the fist is notchoking a victim, it may be attacked by any-one who beats the wizard’s initiative roll (or byanyone, if the fist fails to score a hit that round).

The material components for this spell area bit of bone and skin from any constrictingsnake; these components are consumedwhen the spell is cast.❊

When this spell is cast, a 1.5 m wide, electri-cally-charged, blue ray shoots from the cast-er’s finger, and strikes as directed up to dis-tances of 10 m per level of the caster. The raytravels in a straight line and is blocked by mostobstacles; however, it will burn through thin,flammable material such as cloth and straw.

When the ray reaches its terminal point, aschosen by the caster (or when it strikes ablocking obstacle) it will erupt into a lightningswarm. This swarm appears as a glowing, bluesphere with dozens of small lightning boltsflashing in all directions. The radius of theswarm is 1.5 m per level of the caster.

Anyone caught inside the swarm suffers10d6 points of damage; a successful save vs.spell reduces this damage by half (victimswearing metal armour suffer a -2 penalty totheir saving throw). Those who fail their savemust make saves vs. lightning for all their ob-jects; items that fail their save are destroyed.

If the caster desires, the swarm may becontinued for a second round. If full concen-tration is maintained, the caster may move theswarm 3 m per level of the caster; if the cast-er’s concentration is broken, the swarm stayswhere it is. Anyone that comes into contact withthe swarm during the second round suffers5d6 points of damage. Those who successfullysaved on the first round automatically save onthe second round as well.

The material component for this spell is theheart of a blue dragon, which is consumedwhen the spell is cast. Evil spellcasters havediscovered that the heart of a bronze dragonwill also work as a material component for thisspell.❊

Pilpin’s Nightmare (Enchantment/Charm, Necromancy)

Range: Plane of castingComponents: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: Special

This spell allows the wizard to enter a crea-ture’s dream and attempt to control it, but thespell can backfire and destroy the wizard.Creatures that do not dream are not affectedby this spell (i.e., undead, non-intelligent mon-sters, etc.). The creature must have beenasleep for at least one hour before the spell willwork.

The wizard goes into a deep trance for theduration of the spell and is totally oblivious tothe surrounding environment. If the wizard isdisturbed, the spell ends.

The wizard projects from the trance into thecreature’s dream. The wizard will appear in thedream as an observer, unable to influence thedream or say anything. There is a 5% chancethat the dream projected into is hostile to thewizard (see below for the effects of a dreamhostile to the wizard).

Once in the dream, the wizard attempts totake control of the dream. The target creatureis allowed a saving throw at -4 to resist thewizard’s attempt. If this first save is success-ful, the wizard does not take control of thedream and cannot try again for a week. At thispoint, the wizard can leave, or remain as anobserver. If the wizard chooses to remain, thereis a 5% chance per round that the dream turnshostile to the wizard. If the creature fails thesave, the wizard takes control of the dream andcan make anything happen in that dream. If thewizard causes the dream to become hostile tothe creature (i.e.: turning it into a nightmare),the target creature must make a saving throwversus death magic or die in its sleep. If thecreature’s save is successful, the wizard losescontrol of the dream, but the target creature stilltakes physical damage equal to 25% of itsmaximum hit points. The target creature will notawaken due to the physical damage causedby the nightmare, but may be awaken by an-other, who witnesses the damage suddenlyappearing on the creature.

After the first attempt at turning the dreamto a nightmare there is a 50% chance that thedream turns hostile to the wizard. The wizardcan again attempt to take control of the dreamor leave. If the wizard regains control of thedream, he can again attempt to kill the target.If the target saves versus death magic again,the wizard loses control of the dream and thetarget takes another 25% of its maximum hitpoints in damage. The dream now automati-cally turns hostile to the wizard.

The wizard can continue to go through this,each time the creature can either fail its saveand die, or successfully save and take 25% ofits hit points in damage. If the target creaturesaves and takes damage four times, it diesfrom physical damage.

If at any time the dream turns hostile to thewizard, the wizard can attempt to control thedream in the usual manner, or attempt to leavethe dream. If the wizard chooses to leave, asuccessful saving throw versus spells is re-quired (leaving a non-hostile dream does notrequire a save), if the save fails, the wizard istrapped. If the wizard unsuccessfully attemptsto control the dream (i.e., the target savesagainst the attempt), the wizard is trapped.

A wizard trapped in a dream hostile to him-self cannot make the dream hostile to the tar-get again and must make a successful savingthrow versus death magic or die for each roundtrapped. If the save is successful, the wizardloses 25% of his hit points due to physicaldamage (a wise wizard will have somebodywatching in case this starts to happen). If thewizard is not awoken by another, he must re-gain control of the dream before he can at-tempt escape. If unsuccessful in gaining con-trol of the dream, the wizard will die in fourrounds from physical damage, if not soonerfrom a failed save versus death.

The material components are a personalpossession from the target creature and a lockof hair from a night hag.❊

Pilpin’s Soul Exchange (Alteration,Necromancy)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: Permanent until reversedCasting Time: 1 turnArea of Effect: Two creaturesSaving Throw: Special

This spell causes the life forces of two crea-tures to exchange. The wizard must touch bothcreatures simultaneously at the end of castingwithout having to make a roll to hit. Any twocreatures with a soul or spirit (e.g., humans,elves, animals, birds, dragons, fish, etc.) can beaffected. Examples of creature’s that do nothave souls or spirits (as we understand them)are: undead, demons, devils, automatons suchas golems, and extra-planar creatures in gen-eral.

The saving throw against Pilpin’s Soul Ex-change depends on whether both, one, orneither of the recipients are willing to undergothe exchange. Treat indifferent as unwilling. Ifboth recipients are willing than no saving throwis required. If one recipient is willing but theother is not, then the unwilling target is alloweda saving throw with a -2 penalty. If both areunwilling, then they are both allowed a normalsave. A successful saving throw by any one ofthe recipients negates the spell.

This spell is much more powerful when usedin combination with the eighth-level spell Trapthe Soul. Unwilling creatures that are trappedwithin a gem prison have an additional -6 pen-alty on their saving throw. So if one recipient iswilling and the other not, and the unwilling re-cipient is first imprisoned by Trap the Soul, theunwilling creature saves with a -8 penalty. Ifboth recipients are unwilling and trapped ingem prisons, they both save with a -6 penalty.The spell does not release them from the gemprisons, only exchanges their souls.


- 129 -

A creature’s soul in a different body has thatbody’s hit points or hit dice, Strength, Dexter-ity, Constitution, and Comeliness, but the soul’sIntelligence, Wisdom, Charisma (modified theby body’s new Comeliness), memories, andIntelligence based skills (i.e., languages, non-weapon proficiencies, spell-casting ability pro-viding the body has require attributes, etc.). Ifthe body has extraordinary Strength, it can onlybe used if a warrior’s soul enters the body. Thebody will not radiate magic. The alignment willbe that of the soul. True Sight, or True Seeingwill reveal to a person that previously knew therecipient of the Soul Exchange that they are nolonger the same person.

The spell can only be reversed by a care-fully worded and executed Wish (creaturesmust be touching each other), another SoulExchange, or the will of the original wizard. If acreature dies while in another’s body, it can onlybe brought back with its own body, so if bothcreatures died this could be a reckless way toreverse the spell.

The material components are a diamondworth 1000 GP and a bit of fresh brain tissuefrom a mind flayer (not necessarily freshly ac-quired, possibly magically preserved).❊

Power Word, Vapourisation (Altera-tion, Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: TouchComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: 3 m/level high cubeSaving Throw: None

When this symbol is cast, it will cause a largevolume of inorganic material to simply vanishand cease to exist as if it had never been. Thiseffect is instantaneous, and remains perma-nent. Only a wish can bring the lost matterback into existence. The volume that is de-stroyed cab be in any shape the caster desiresup the maximum volume effected.

If any of the inorganic material is somehowmagical, then assign it a value of 1 to 6, usingthe guidelines from the magic user spell de-tect magic where artifacts are assigned a valueof 6. This is the basic saving throw number thatmust be rolled, or rolled under, using a d20 inorder for the object to save and not be disin-tegrated.

If a magic item has powers or bonuseswhich could protect it from disintegration thenthey must be taking into account for the itemssaving throw. An intelligent item cannot be ef-fected by the spell, as it does not count as aninanimate object. A ring of spell turning wouldnot be able to turn the spell, but the roll is madeanyway and if the turning is successful, thenthe ring would get the bonus or be saved com-pletely. A ring of protection would get it’s sav-ing throw bonus, while a device of protectionfrom disintegration would always save.

Sarius’ Endosmotic Zone of Magic(Alteration)

Range: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 day/levelCasting Time: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

This powerful spell was researched bySarius Mendlekine, Lord of Telnorne. It is actu-ally used to create a magical rod (1 m long and3 m in diameter) that projects a continual zoneof increased magical potential in a sphericalarea of effect equal to a radius of 3 metres perlevel, extended outward from the rod in all di-rections. This spherical zone makes magicfunction at its utmost effectiveness, normally.But, it can be used to travel to planes with re-duced magical factor ratings (MF) while keep-ing a MF rating of 0 within the area of effect.On planes with an increased MF the spell sim-ply allows all spells of 9th-level or less to workoptimally. The zone will permeate any areawhich is not totally enclosed in a lead casingor protected by an anti-magic shell which with-stands the dweomer. All anti-magic shells oreffects that come within the zone react as

though a dispel magic is cast upon them eachand every round. Every round the two areasinteract the anti-magic zones have a chanceof dispelling as though a mage of four levelshigher than the caster were trying to „DispelMagic“ against them. On planes with a nega-tive MF rating, everything within the area ofeffect operates as though the MF rating were0. So, someone with a ring of flying would flywithin the zone, but exiting it would cause themto drop like a rock! On a negative MF ratingplane anti-magic shells are dispelled at thenormal level of mastery or the spell-caster andall spells cast by any class of characters,whether native to the plane or not, operate ata normal MF rating of 0.

The spell’s duration (from activation of therod) is equal to a base 1 day per level in a PrimeMaterial plane with a MF rating of 0. On nega-tive MF rating planes, the duration is calculateas the total number of whole days left for therod to operate divided by the result of the MFrating multiplied by -1. For example, a 20th-levelmage activates the rod and hurriedly enters agateway to an alternate Prime Material planewith a MF rating of -5 (since the spell must beinitially cast on a plane with a MF rating of 0 orbetter). The duration would be determinedthus: 20 days/(-5 × -1) = 4 days. But, if themage had operated the rod (for more than 1turn) before entering the gateway it would havelost a days duration and be calculated as: 19/(-5 × -1) = 3.8 days, or 91.2 hours, or 547.2 turns,or 5,472 rounds. If the wielder had travelled toa plane with a MF rating greater than 0 thespell’s duration would be calculated as thebase duration multiplied by the MF rating of theplane. Whenever the rod changes alternatePrime Material planes (even if they both con-tain the same MF rating) its duration is recal-culate with the current remaining days of op-eration left used as the base for determiningthe duration of the spell (disregard any remain-ing duration that does not equal a day or morein length). If the rod travels from a positive MFrating plane to a negative MF rating plane therod is totally disrupted in the transferral asthough the spell had ended, and vice versa.Dispelling magics will only affect the rod for onesingle round unless they are cast by a Demi-Power, Lesser Power, or Greater Power, in whichcase the a successful Dispel Magic will causethe device to become disrupted as describedbelow.

The rod is the only material component ofthis spell. It is made from the purest mithril andrune inscribing agents (costing at least 7,000GP). Then, 9 deep blue amethysts (1000 GPeach) are inset to the side of the rod amongthe various runes of power, and a large sap-phire (1,000 GP) is affixed to the top. Once therod has been fashioned (2 months creationtime minus 1 day per level of mage working onthe inscribing of the runes down to a minimumof 1 month) this spell can be cast upon it,empowering the rod with enormous magicalpotential. From this point, the rod remains dor-mant until its power is activated by speakingthe proper command word and willing the rodto function. Until the rod is activated the cast-ing mage loses a single 9th-level spell castingslot because of the bond that he has estab-lished with the rod’s dormant power. While thisspell could be inscribed onto a scroll it wouldstill require the rod as a material component


- 130 -


and the mage who inscribed the spell wouldnot regain the spell slot until the potential of thescroll was released through copying it into aspellbook or casting it onto the rod and acti-vating the rod. (Note: An apprentice may beused to inscribe the runes upon the rod free-ing the learned master to further research).

Although almost any sentient creature mayutilize the rod, in the hands of the original spell-caster it will convey a personal magic resist-ance equal to his level of experience (andcumulative to any other magic resistance hemay be employing). On any Prime Materialplane the rod will also act as a Rod of Striking,conveying a +3 magical to hit bonus and strik-ing for 3d6+3 points of damage per round. Therod may only strike once in any melee roundno matter if the creature wielding it is capableof multiple attacks with weapons. During thelast turn of the spell’s duration the rod will be-gin to hum extremely loud (hearable in a 1/2mile radius. During the last round of the spell’sduration the rod will glow with extremely pow-erful magical electricity, causing 1d20 hit pointsof damage to all that touch it, per segment ofcontact. In the last round is will flash with abright light (causing all in the zone to save vs.rods or be blinded for 1d20 rounds) and thencease to function. This last burst of energytransmutes the mithril rod into pure lead,causes the runes to dissolve, and disintegratesthe 10 gems into a useless powder.❊

Sillvatar’s Dragon Breath (Conjura-tion/Summoning)

Range: 3 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: InstantaneousCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell conjures a dragon head similar tothat created by Sillvatar’s Dragon Bite; how-ever, instead of bite damage, the caster maydirect the head to make a single, instantane-ous breath attack. The dimensions and com-position of this breath attack are as per thedragon the material component is from. Thedamage inflicted by this attack is equal to anattack from the appropriate dragon of agecategory 1-6 (determine age randomly). For ex-ample, if a red dragon is the source of thematerial component for this spell, and a 4 isrolled for the age category, the breath attacktakes the shape of a 27 × 1.5 × 9 m cone offire, and inflicts 8d10 points of damage. All vic-tims must save vs. the worst of spell or breathweapon to receive only half damage; posses-sions are treated as if they had been hit by theactual corresponding breath weapon (if thevictim’s save was successful, possessions arenot affected).

The material component for this spell is theheart from any type of dragon; this componentis consumed when the spell is cast.❊

Sillvatar’s Superior Summoning(Conjuration/Summoning)Reversible

Range: Touch

Components: V, S, MDuration: SpecialCasting Time: 2 turns (casting time of 5

to trigger summons)Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: None

The caster of this spell is able to summonto his aid one or more prechosen individuals;the creatures to be summoned must be cho-sen at the time the spell is cast and must bewilling to receive the summons. The totalnumber of levels or hit dice of the individualssummoned must be equal to, or less than thelevel of the caster.

When the spell is initially cast, the wizardmust follow a set procedure for each personor creature summoned: first the individual mustbe marked with a Wizard’s Mark spell; this mustthen be made permanent through the castingof a Permanency spell (to prevent the markfrom wearing off). Finally, the Superior Sum-moning is cast; this entire process takes twoturns, plus the casting times of the other twospells. Each recipient must be marked by aseparate Wizard’s Mark, but a single casting ofthe Permanency spell, as well as the SuperiorSummoning will suffice. These marks will bevisible only to the caster and the recipient (al-though a True Seeing spell or similar magic willreveal them) and will remain until dispelled orthe spell is triggered.

When the wizard wishes to trigger the spell,the final incantations are uttered along with thenames of each of the recipients (this has acasting time of 5). The summoned individualswill appear anywhere withing 30 m of thecaster, as desired. The individuals to be sum-moned must be on the same plane as thecaster when the spell is cast (triggered) or theycannot answer the summons.

The reverse of this spell, Sillvatar’s SuperiorSending, will send the marked individuals to apre-chosen location (a separate location maybe chosen for each recipient). The result issimilar to a Teleport without Error spell, but witha separate location for each recipient. Thesame procedure must be followed as for theSuperior Summoning, and since the Wizard’sMark disappears when the individual is sum-moned, multiple castings of this spell, as wellas the Wizard’s Mark and Permanency, are re-quired to send summoned creatures back towhere they came from.

The material component for this spell is adiamond worth at least 500 GP for each indi-vidual to be summoned. These diamonds arepowdered and sprinkled on the Wizard’s Mark(this fulfills the component requirements for theWizard’s Mark spell as well).❊

Sphere of Annihilation (Evocation)

Range: 12 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: PermanentCasting Time: 12 hoursArea of Effect: 0.6 m diameter sphereSaving Throw: None

This ancient and arcane spell was first foundin the Libram of Tel’ Aknus the Mad. It is usedto create a Sphere of Annihilation. The magemust prepare a special magical device, whichcosts 15,000 GP to construct, to house theenergies required to bring the sphere into ex-istence. The construct is made of the rarest orores, adamantite, and requires a full year ofwork by a master smith to fashion. A Master Al-chemist must then fuse ten vials of Essenceof Platinum, ten vials of Essence of Gold, andten vials of Essence of Silver, in this order, intothe construct (which looks something like agiant spider when finished). This will take twoweeks per vial and the chance of success isequal to the alchemist’s chance of creatingsaid essences (checked for each vial fused tothe structure) and any failure means that theentire structure has been transmuted in themetal of the current essence which is beingfused into the construct.

Then the casting procedure can take place.It consists of a highly ritual ceremony requir-ing a black pearl of at least 0.3 m in diameterbeing placed inside a magic circle and thencalling forth the various magics of the planesto instill the pearl with anti-planar power of asphere of annihilation. The spell then tempo-rarily doubles the current hit points of the cast-ing mage as it starts. Every hour of casting timeinstills the pearl with more and more power. Atthe end of every hour’s casting the mage mustroll a successful saving throw vs. magic whichis unadjusted by any means other than hiscurrent level of mastery. If successful, the cast-ing continues for the next hour. If unsuccess-ful, the mage takes 1d20 points of damage foran unsuccessful hour of casting and the cast-ing time is extended for anther hour. The spellwill only be successful if 12 hours of continualcasting is completed. Remember that if thespell is successful the mage must still attemptto bring the sphere under his control. This spellin no way gives any special bonuses for con-trol attempts.

If the mage is reduced to zero hit points thepearl disappears (in a harmless, but spectacu-lar flash of light) and his strength and consti-tution are reduced to 1 and he is thrown into acoma, losing knowledge of all spells currentlymemorized. These statistics and normal hitpoints are regained at a rate of 1 point per dayor total rest unless some form of magic is usedto increase healing. Until the mage reaches halfof his original constitution score he is extremelysusceptible to diseases and will take 4x theamount of damage a disease would normallyinflict. When half of his original strength is re-stored he may save vs. spells each day to seeif he comes out of the coma. Failure means thathe remains in the coma. Once the magecomes out of a coma he will be in a ravenousstate and will not be able to regain spells againtill he has eaten and rested for as many daysas he was in the coma. Success or failure not-withstanding, this spell will always destroy theconstruct and the pearl used as the materialcomponents. If the spell is successful, theconstruct and pearl are sucked into the sphere,and if unsuccessful, the construct crumblesinto a useless crystal substance and the pearldisappears as mentioned above.

- 131 -


If the spell-caster is physically touched dur-ing the casting of this spell by anything, includ-ing the power of another magic, and sustainsdamage which subtracts from his hit points orany ability score or level, the pearl will explodein a force of magic dealing out damage equalto 1d20 per hour of casting time that haspassed (rounded down) in a radius equal to 3m per hour of casting time that has success-fully passed (again, rounded down and a un-modified saving throw vs. spells will allow any-one in the area of effect to save for half dam-age). Also, when this happens the extra hitpoints disappear (if they are still present) andthe mage takes damage from his normal re-maining hit points. Death by this explosionmeans that the body has been disintegrated,ruling out „raise dead“ or „resurrection“ spellsfor bringing the victim back to life.❊

The source of this highly improved versionof the Wall of Force spell is the TelnorneMageocrat. It is used to create a barrier whichcannot be penetrated by any known spells orforces in the multi-universe, including majorpowers, avatars, devils, or demon princes.

The casting time of 1 hour is standard, butthe mage must also spend a hour in contem-plation, reviewing diagrams and/or charts ofthe area or object to which the force layer is tobe attached when memorising the spell. Aforce layer may cover an area of up to 3 × 3metres, and must be attached to a localizedgravity: either an object, a structure, or an area.Once cast, only spells of wish-like power mayaffect the force layer.

A Limited Wish will effect the force layer asa 1/2 strength Dispel Magic, an Alter Reality willeffect the force layer as a 3/4 strength DispelMagic, and a Wish will effect the force layer asa full strength Dispel Magic. The force layermay be attached to moving objects, but onlythose which are of one piece and move in con-junction to something else. For example, achest (with hinges) could be covered, but thechest would still need to have a break withinthe spell effect, so only the top or the bottomof the chest would be affected. Placing thespell on a wagon would effectively make thewagon indestructible, but the wagon wouldnever again roll since the wheels are nowlocked in place. But, if the wheels alone (andpossibly the axle if the mage was inventive)were protected the wagon would still roll. Ofcourse, after the wheels eventually rotted awayin a few years the spell area would still be ineffect and invisible wheels would still roll.

When this spell is cast on the Prime Mate-rial plane the area of effect extends into theastral and ethereal planes, although the force

layer will still be invisible. Nothing will stick tothe force layer except for another force layerwhich is attached to a previously cast one.Paint, dust, and powders will simply roll off itssurface. Only Dust of Appearance will stick tothe force layer, and then only for 1d10 rounds.❊

Tempestcone (Alteration, Evocation)

Range: 0Components: V, SDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: One creatureSaving Throw: None

This spell creates a shadowy, upright coneof force surrounding the caster or one creaturetouched by the caster. The cone comes to apoint a few feet above the recipient’s head, andextends to the floor (or, if the caster is flying,falling, or otherwise removed from a solid sur-face, to just below the lowest part of the cast-er’s body). The tempestcone moves with thecaster, and seems to be a faintly-shrieking,tumultuous chaos of whirling winds and shad-owy clouds (hence its name). Its only effect isto “drink” all magic coming into contact with it(including magical-item charges and spellscast by the caster it is protecting), and trans-forms them into magical missiles.

The caster is unharmed by the whirling coneof winds (and is unaffected by all incomingspell effects); the magic missiles created by atempestcone whirl around the cone until hurledunerringly at targets within 42 m by the beingenveloped by the cone. The protected creaturecan hurl the missiles even if it isn’t a spell-caster; a mental command is all that is needed.The missiles are identical in all respects to amagic missile spell.

A tempestcone creates two magic missilesper spell level absorbed, each doing 1d4 + 1hp damage and flying unerringly at MV Fl 24(MC: A). If the projectiles pass more than 42metres from the cone, or are unused when thespell expires, they fade away harmlessly. Magi-cal-item discharges for which no spell equiva-lent exists are considered sixth level for pur-poses of generating magic missiles.❊

Uldark’s Ultimate Summoning(Conjuration/Summoning)Reversible

Range: 10 m/levelComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 9Area of Effect: SpecialSaving Throw: Special

This spell is Uldark’s response to his friendSillvatar’s spell, Superior Summoning [q.v.]; itis not as powerful (in terms of levels) asSillvatar’s spell, but is more versatile, and re-quires less preparation time. This spell allowsthe caster to summon any creature of the wiz-ard’s choice; only one such creature may besummoned per casting of this spell, and thesummoned creature’s hit dice may be no more

- 132 -

than two-thirds the caster’s level (drop frac-tions). A certain species of creature may bespecified in the summoning (or in the case ofan adventurer, class and level), but a specificindividual may not be called; for example, thecaster may summon a 12th level Paladin, butmay not summon a specific paladin by name.

The summoned creature appears anywherewithin the spell’s range as directed by thecaster. If a good caster summons an evil crea-ture (or if an evil one summons a good crea-ture) both the creature and the caster must rolla save vs. spell. If the caster succeeds and thecreature fails, the spell proceeds normally; ifthe caster fails and the creature succeeds, thecreature will attack the caster immediately; ifboth fail, the creature ignores the caster (thecaster may still attempt to gain control of thesummoned creature via some other magic).

Of course since Sillvatar’s spell is reversible,Uldark felt his should be as well. The reverseof this spell, Uldark’s Ultimate Banishment,sends the previously-summoned creatureback to its place of origin. This will only workon a creature who was previously summonedby this spell. If the creature fails a save vs. spellat -4, it is immediately sent back to where itcame from.

The material component for this is a ruby,diamond, or emerald worth at least 800 GP. Thegem is consumed with the casting of thespell.❊

If another wizard is infused, both wizardsmust make a saving throw vs. magic, at thelevel of wizard. A failure means both instantlypass out, a critical failure (a roll of a natural one)means death for both. If the save is success-ful, the recipient can cast spells at triple powerand will not forget any spells currently memo-rized.

For each tenth of a round that the Conduitis open the wizard cannot cast spells for onefull hour.

Aura of Nature (Abjuration, Altera-tion)

Sphere: PlantRange: 0Components: V, S, MDuration: 1 round/levelCasting Time: 1Area of Effect: 1-12 HD of undead/levelSaving Throw: Special

When this spell is cast, it surrounds thecaster with an overwhelming aura of life. Thisaura is comforting to woodland creatures(+25% on reaction roles) for it is the sensationof life which puts the animals at ease with thecaster.


- 142 -

This, however, is not the principle purposefor the spell. Its primary use is to turn undead.Undead creatures find this sensation emanat-ing from the caster’s aura very distasteful.When undead encounter this sensation, theyare usually repulsed. This occurs if the castersucceeds in turning undead as a cleric does.If the die roll “to turn undead” does not succeedthen the undead are not repulsed.

The caster’s level is the level used to deter-mine the effect of the turning. This is only thecase if the caster is in natural surroundings(such as forest, underground caverns andcaves, or plains etc.).

If the caster in in his own consecrated grove,then the caster gets a +4 modifier to the dieroll to turn undead and in addition is allowedto turn twice the normal number of undead.

If the caster is in an unnatural surrounding(such as buildings or the astral and etherealplanes of existence) then he turns undead asa cleric two levels lower then his current level.This is because the influence of nature is re-duced in these surroundings (note: in someman-made surroundings there may not be areduction because of the circumstances - aman-made garden for example).✠

Otherwise, the affected creature mustrecheck his save vs. magic once per (20 -In-telligence) days until the spell is broken (crea-tures with a twenty or greater Intelligence arenot affected).

Selective Entangle (Alteration, Invo-cation)

Sphere: PlantRange: 2.5 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 turn/levelCasting Time: 4Area of Effect: One person/2 levelsSaving Throw: 1/2

This spell is very similar to the first level cleri-cal spell Entangle except for one major differ-ence. It effects only the creatures targeted forthe spell effects and no-one else, unlike theentangle spell.

When the creature(s), who are effected bythis spell, try to walk by any form of plant life,the plants will reach out and grab the creaturesmuch in the same manner as the Entanglespell. Thus if they are trapped by the spell oth-ers can then walk up to the entangled crea-tures. In this respect the spell is similar to HoldPerson in its effects.

If the creature fails its saving throw vs. spellsthen it is held fast by the plants. If the save ismade then the targeted creature has its move-ment reduced to half normal.

If the creature struggles to free themselvesfrom the plants then a new saving throw vs.spells can be made every turn (note: this isvery tiring work). The strength to hit bonus canbe used as a positive DM on these additionalsaves. If the creature makes one of these ad-ditional saving throws then they are “freed” buttheir movement is still reduced by half. If afteranother turn the creature is still in an area withplant life then a save vs. spells is required withthe effects outlined above occurring.

In short, a save must be made every turnwhen in areas of vegetation to determine theeffects of the spell if the spell target is activelyfighting the effects of the spell.✠

While travelling on this path, the group willnever surprise anyone or anything and suffersa penalty of on all rolls (saves, to hit, damage,Dex checks, etc.). Those trying to leave thepath after travelling upon it find that the pathis bordered by heavy thorns that block pas-sage and writhe and grasp all who enter (cf.Wall of Thorns & Entangle).

separate physical entity, therefore having an AC5 and 30 hit points (plus an additional 2 HP perlevel of the casting cleric).

The spell will end when either the maximumduration is reached or the vine takes moredamage than it has hit points. The vine movesin a snaking fashion and is usable in most waysthat an arm is.

The vine can attempt to retrieve an object,wield a sickle or similar weapon (although ata penalty of -2 “to hit” due to the unwieldinessof a man-made weapon in the vine’s clutches),or it may be used to whip opponents.

While under the effects of the spell, the clericattacks on the fighter table and gains a tem-porary skill level with his weapons (note: in myworld, specialisation is more developed andcertain clerics can specialise to some degree,

those who are not specialised, gain the basiclevel of specialisation for the Duration of thisspell). Furthermore, the presence of the divin-ity surrounds the cleric in the form of an aurathat reduces all damage taken by the cleric by2 points (1 point minimum).

The effect of this link is thatone-half the damage sustained by one, istransferred to the other. This link is evidencedby a golden, pulsing thread connecting the twothrough the ethereal plane. When the link is inexistence, the two creatures cannot be morethan 1 mile per level of the spell caster apartor the link will snap, ending the spell. Thoseable to perceive the ethereal plane can see thislink. Note that the damage transfer is two way.A duly consecrated alter, holy or unholy water,an appropriate sacrifice (DM’s discretion) andthe creature to be linked with are the materialcomponents for this spell.

Side note: I used this for an evil cleric theparty was trying to kill. The cleric kidnappedthe betrothed of the paladin and performed thisceremony upon her. This really messed up theparty since, now they couldn’t just rush in andhack up the cleric in an orgasm of hack-n-slash. They had to capture the cleric and re-move him from his sanctuary alive. (I run con-secrated grounds as being “home field” forclerics and very disadvantageous for would bedesecrators. Example: -1 penalty on everythingper alignment difference, cumulative bless forthe clerics and generally “bad luck” for theattackers).✠

Dedi’s Invisible Poison Swamp (Al-teration, Illusion/Phantasm)

Sphere:Chaos, Creation, Elemental(Earth, Water)Range: 40 mComponents: V, S, MDuration: 1 day + 1 hour/levelCasting Time: 1 round/levelArea of Effect: 0.3 x 0.3 m area/level, 0.3m deepSaving Throw: Special

This prayer causes the area of effect to turninto a poisonous swamp. Even worse, theswamp is not visible. However, a True Seeingspell or similar magic will detect the swamp.Since it is not just a large trap, thieves can notdetect it (supposing they have no True Seeingability or the like).

The priest first chooses the area of effect.Then, he drops the poison and water to theground. During this, he utters the prayer. Theground now turns to swamp (anyone can de-tect it as being a swamp at this time) and startslooking as it was before 1 round later (no-onecan recognize it as a swamp from now on).

To successfully chant this prayer, the groundmust be at least 10 feet thick (so you can’t builda swamp in a castle’s third floor if the great hallof the knights is below one foot of stone).

Only stone, earth, rock, mud or other similarmaterial can be used to create a swamp on. Aswamp cannot be build in a marsh or on an-other swamp area.

The priest can choose a swamp size from aminimum of 0.3 x 0.3 metres up to the maxi-mum (e.g., a priest of 15th level could create a3 x 50 metres or a 30 x 5 metres swamp, al-ways being 3 metres deep).

A victim who didn’t see the swamp andsteps into it falls into it (no saving throw al-lowed). If the victim succeeds a swimmingcheck (at a -4 modifier, since it’s a swamp andnot water) it only suffers 2 points of damagefrom the poison. The poison enters the bodyof the victim through the skin. If the victim fails,it suffers additional 1d8 points of damage andgets a cumulative -1 penalty to its next swim-ming check (in the next round). Victims with-out the swimming proficiency automaticallysuffer 1d8+2 points of damage each round.

If a victim spends 5 rounds in the swamp itloses Strength (reduced to 3) and sinks to theswamp’s ground. There, it suffers double dam-age (2d8+4) each round. After another 5rounds down there it will finally die.

Victims can be pulled out of the swamp byothers very simply: by using a rope, a branch,a long weapon (lance or the like) and succeed-ing a Strength check (both the one who pullsand the one who is being pulled must suc-ceed). It is not possible to cast spells whileheld in the swamp. If the swamp is turned backto its former condition, turned to stone or rockby magic, or a similar action takes place, thenall who are in it are thrown out and suffer 4d8points of damage.

Here’s an example: Suppose a high levelcleric (with 78 HP) wants Sir Belvedere (80 HP)to retrieve a magical mace that was stolen. SirBelvedere agrees, but only if the cleric Sacri-fices 70 of his HP, to ensure good faith and tohelp complete the mission. The Cleric agrees,and Sir Belvedere goes out in search of themace.

Now suppose Sir Belvedere is successful inhis mission. When he delivers the Mace to theCleric, they both immediately return to theirnormal maximum HP value. (Although maybenot their current HP value, if Sir Belvedere iswounded.) (Current damage to the spell recipi-ent is split evenly among the two when HP arereturned.)

The caster will retain the power until the situ-ation no longer requires it (plus a couple ofrounds for mopping up), or the Avatar is killed.If the Avatar is killed, then the deity loses theabilities of the class for 1/10 of the time that thegod would normally be “dead” as if slain on hishome plane.

This spell is most often cast over the bodyof a slain comrade in an effort to slay thoseresponsible for the death and in mourning forthe lost friend. Since the use of this spell at-tracts the attention of the priest’s deity, andbecause the deaths result from the deity shar-ing in the grief of the priest, the spell works onlyif the priest is truly mourning the lost friend, andonly if the deity approves and joins the priest.Those creatures most directly responsible forthe death of the priest is never the victim of hisown Death Wail.

Use of this spell draws the attention of thedeity, and the spell only succeeds if the deityis pleased with the usage (i.e. the priest is onan urgent quest in the service of the deity).When the priest casts this spell, he gives overhis will completely to that of his deity. The priestcan, for the most part make his own decisions,however, if the priest ever varies from the align-ment of the deity or ever acts out of characterfor a divine being, the priest is instantly andirrevocably struck dead, and the deity as-sumes control of the avatar. The deity can, ofcourse, at any time take over the body of thepriest or avatar.

At the end of the one hour period, the deitycan decide to keep the priest in the form of theavatar for another hour, or can choose to endthe spell. The deity can even choose to keepthe priest as the avatar for life. In this case, thedeity assumes control of the avatar and thecharacter of the casting priest is irrevocablygone.

If the deity chooses to release the priest, theavatar’s body will glow with a pure white radi-ance and vanish. The priest will then beteleported to a location of the deity’s choice,and will fall comatose for 1d4 turns. Thereaf-ter, the priest will be unable to cast spells untilthe next day, and will be under the influenceof a Quest spell placed upon the priest by thedeity.

If the target is a building, then the plant shallsimply grow in/on/around it, possibly causingstructural damage, as specified by the priest.It takes seven hours for the plant to grow to fullsize, so this spell shall not work as an InstantLadder. It can, on the other hand, be used tohide an entrance or make a treasure cachequite undetectable.

If the target is a creature with life force (orother energy, undeads and golems are notimmune), the plant shall feed on the life forceof the target creature, draining one level ofenergy until the target is dropped to -1 HD, anddies. The abilities fall as fast as the hit dice. So,a ninth-level character with Strength 18 andIntelligence 9 would lose 2 points of Strength,1 HD, and 1 point of Intelligence, among otherthings, for nine rounds, and then die. Thecorpse of the target creature shall then turn intoparts of the plant. For this, Raise Dead etc. isnot possible, having Intelligence zero makesSpeak with Dead impossible. On the otherhand, such a victim can Reincarnate, andSpeak with Plants is not hindered, as the mindremains within the plant.

This is a spell that is very seldom used bydruids because of its long casting time andobvious evilness. It is used on old druids thatfeel that their life is at an end and wish to liveon in the grove, or as a partial retribution onthose who destroy plant life needlessly or vio-late any dryad, supposing either is within theprotection of a druid.✠
