Ageing (Necromancy)
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

Upon casting this spell, a black bolt of energy shoots out form the wizard's
hand, hitting one creature within its range. The creature struck must save
versus spell or immediately age 6d10 years. Any humanoid who is aged must
make a system shock roll or die from the internal strain. If a creature
makes its saving throw, it is still strongly disoriented, suffering a
penalty of -2 to-hit and +2 to Armour Class for one round per level of the
wizard.

Any creature that is slowed, paralysed, charmed or stunned suffers a -3
penalty to its saving throw, since they are less able to resist its very
powerful energy. The material component of this spell is a black opal worth
at least 500 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anti-Magic Resistance (Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell enables the wizard to operate normally in areas where magic would
otherwise not work. These areas include: magic dead lands, lands within the
radius of an anti-magic shell, and lands in the cone of the anti-magic ray
of a beholder. Each round in one of these areas while under the protection
of this spell, the wizard must save versus spell.

If the saving throw is successful, the wizard can cast spells normally that
round. A new saving throw must be made each round, and whether successful or
not, the effects only last for one round. Spells with a duration longer than
a single round remain as long as the wizard continues to successfully save.
This spell is also effective for spells cast into one of these areas from a
normal magic area, so long as the wizard saves successfully.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Area Effect Lower Resistance (Abjuration, Metamagic)
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 30-foot diameter sphere, 1 person per level
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell is an improvement of the 5th-level area effect non-detection.

It affects up to one creature per caster level in a 30-foot diameter sphere.
The creatures which are to be affected are chosen by the spell caster as
long as they are within the area of effect. The creatures can use their
magic resistance at half the normal chance to resist the effect of this
spell. They get no other saving throw (not even their scarab saves). If they
fail their magic resistance checks, their magic resistances are reduced by
4% per caster level. This works even on items which provide magic
resistance. This effect lasts for 1 turn per level of the caster.

The material component is a handful of iron which has been filed from an
active iron golem's head. These iron shavings have to be corroded in a
solution made from a potion of magic resistance (which is spoiled by this
use) and one full gallon of water from the Styx which has been touched in
the previous minute by Charon (the boatman of the dead).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bone to Dust (Alteration)
Range: 20 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Jim <pargwe@morekypr.bitnet>

This spell, when cast properly, will cause the living creature (provided its
anatomy is structured with bones) to have its bones become brittle, and in 2
rounds after successful spell completion, the creature collapses under the
weight of its own body, unable to function or move - for its bones have
crumbled to dust.

The caster can only affect creatures that possess the Hit Dice that are
within range of the caster. The spell will affect 1 Hit Dice per level of
the caster (creatures with the lowest Hit Dice are affected first).

The material component of this spell is a miniature grinder, which is
consumed in the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caligula's Vitality Drain (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Tim Prestero <ez003387@george.ucdavis.edu>

This terrible spell allows the wizard to drain the youth from a victim,
revitalising himself, at the expense of ageing the victim. Hardly a spell
used by good aligned wizards.

The wizard first prepares the spell, by casting the eight phase portion of
it. He then has his level in rounds to make contact with the victim, and
begin draining. To drain the youth of the victim, the wizard must be in
continuous contact with the flesh of the victim during the draining process.
The act of being drained is extremely painful to the victim, and is
sufficient to awaken sleeping victims, and allow charmed victims a new
saving throw. Even if the victim is conscious, however, the draining will
continue. The victim must break flesh contact with the wizard to break the
spell.

The wizard is able to drain a decade, plus one decade for every four levels
above first he possesses, i.e. 20 years at fifth, 30 at ninth, 40 at
thirteenth, etc. Each year takes but a tenth of a round to drain, so a
decade is drained per round. If the spell is broken during casting, the
wizard will still have drained a number of years dependent on time of
casting (eg. contact broken after 2 rounds, 20 years drained). Due to the
imperfect nature of the spell, however, the wizard only reduces in age by a
year for every three drained from the victim.

Both wizard and victim will be affected by the change in age. The victim
will only suffer the disadvantages of ageing (Strength and Constitution
loss), whereas the wizard will only experience the benefits (Strength and
Constitution gain). After the spell, the victim will have visibly aged, with
greying hair, and lined, shaggy skin. The wizard will appear invigorated,
with grey disappearing from his hair, and the obvious return of muscle tone.
The victim must save versus paralysation, or fall unconscious for 1d4 turns,
if he is drained more than 20 years. The wizard will experience a temporary
1d4 increase in Strength (not including that gained from becoming younger),
which will fade by 1 point a turn. The wizard will also feel inebriated, an
effect which persists for 1d6 rounds.

This spell is only effective on humans. Long lived races, such as elves and
dwarves, as well as humanoid races, are immune from the spell, and the
wizard must save versus paralysation, or be knocked unconscious if
attempting to drain a member of these races.

Finally, there is no known cure for this spell, save a wish. The material
component of this spell is a scrap of flesh from a vampire, which must be
consumed by the wizard.

Call Chain Lightning (Alteration, Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: 360-foot radius
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: David Serhienko <serhienk@cobber.cord.edu>

This spell functions, in all respects, as the 3rd-level priest spell call
lightning, except in the following regards: each bolt of called lightning
functions exactly as the 6th-level wizard spell chain lightning.

This spell should be one of greatest scarcity and secrecy. It would be
sought by any lord looking toward world domination and would not be given or
traded for other spells. Allegedly created by the long missing Lich Vecna,
the incantation has surfaced three more times since his mad bid for
supremacy. On each occasion of its surfacing, it was used in such a way as
to call down the wrath of a certain Lord of the Elements, Zeus, from whom
the spell was stolen. To date, no wizard has successfully called upon this
power without having his soul destroyed by the greatest of the Olympians.
Perhaps you will be the first to escape this fate. Probably not...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call Dragon (Summoning)
Range: 40 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 4 rounds
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: James Bray <jbray@acad.bryant.edu>

This spell summons forth a dragon of the highest Hit Die type, depending on
die roll (see below). The spell gives the caster no control over the actions
of the dragon. Sanctuary will not work. A die is rolled to determine the
type of dragon:

 D8 Roll   Dragon Type
    1      gold dragon
   2-3    silver dragon
   4-5    black dragon
   6-7     blue dragon
    8      red dragon

The saving throw is modified by one up or down per 2 HD of the dragon above
or below 15. The material component of this spell is a miniature dragon,
crafted from the finest materials, worth at least 10,000 gp.

Cantor's Closed Cottage (Alteration, Conjuration)
Range: Special
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8 rounds
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Cantor

This spell creates an extradimensional space - an improved form of
Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion. It literally duplicates a small, closed
section of the wizard's plane, creating a temporary new demiplane. The area
of effect is a base 1 square kilometre per level of the wizard. The duration
is a base 2 hours per level, modified as below:

   * Each 1 square kilometre added to the base amount lessens the duration
     of the spell by 2 hours.
   * Each 1 square kilometre subtracted from the area of effect increases
     the duration by 3 hours. The wizard can modify the terrain and plant
     features to a limited extent when closing off the area. The land,
     animals, structures, etc. are duplicated in the new planar space with
     the following restrictions:
   * No magic items or magically protected structures are duplicated.
   * Creatures of Intelligence greater than 2 cannot be duplicated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cloud of Doom (Alteration, Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 60 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: One 30x30-foot cloud, 20 feet high
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

The cloud of doom is a cloud of poisonous gas that forces all within it to
save versus poison or die in 1d3 rounds. The cloud is stationary. In strong
winds the duration of the spell can be halved or even quartered, at the
discretion of the DM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contact Higher Plane (Divination)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 2 turns
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell is a better and less risky version of contact other plane. In all
respects, save the table below, it is identical to that fifth level spell.

Create Higher Undead (Necromancy)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

Create higher undead is used by evil necromancers to create some of the more
powerful undead (most of these undead can also be created in other ways).
This spell will create wraiths, mummies, spectres, swordwraiths, soul
beckoners and inquisitors. Other undead can be created at the discretion of
the DM. The wizard must have the correct spell components (listed below) and
then cast the spell, which takes about one turn per Hit Die of the undead.
The undead are not under the direct control of the necromancer, but they do
tend to follow his commands. The source of this control is not loyalty but
fear, and if the necromancer is weak then the undead may turn on him. In
addition to the specific components listed below, the necromancer must have
a cup of dirt from a grave that is at least one hundred years old, and a
considerable portion of his own blood. Due to this contribution of blood,
the necromancer will be weak the day after the spell is cast (-2 to-hit and
to all saving throws), and the spell cannot be cast again before a full week
has past.

   * Wraith: the body of an extremely evil human who obtained at least
     seventh level in life; five vials of unholy water created by the high
     priest of an evil religion (minimum of fourteenth level).
   * Mummy: the mummified body of an evil human who obtained at least
     seventh level in life; a solid gold statue of an evil Egyptian god
     (usually Set; minimum 5000 gp value).
   * Spectre: the body of an extremely evil human who obtained at least
     ninth level in life; a painting of the person being animated (the
     painting must have been done when the person still lived).
   * Swordwraith: the body of an evil human fighter who obtained at least
     seventh level in life (the fighter must have been part of a military
     organization and must have fallen in a battle where his side eventually
     lost).
   * Soul Beckoner: the body of an evil human, half-elf or elf that obtained
     at least eighth level in life (the person must have died of natural
     causes and must have been either a wizard or a thief; a philtre of
     persuasion).
   * Inquisitor: the body of an evil human or demi-human who obtained at
     least seventh level in life (the person must have been a ruthless,
     sadistic torturer who was in charge of a torture facility); a rack or
     other torture instrument on which a paladin of at least ninth level has
     recently (within one year) been tortured to death.

Create Temple or Cathedral (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 3 hours per level
Casting Time: 2 turns
Area of Effect: One 10 feet per level per side square formed in any
shape desired Saving Throw: None
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell creates the interior fittings of a temple or cathedral of any
kind depending upon the caster's desires. This includes up to 10 pewter
benches per level (each holding up to 10 people crammed), one rug to cover
the complete area of effect, one aisle rug per full 5 levels, one altar with
all the necessary religious regalia, one chandelier per 2 levels with one
hundred lit candles each (if desired) burning for the duration of the spell
(can be dimmed, extinguished, and relit at will by the caster or the
receiving priest), one holy or unholy water basin per level, one holy symbol
per level, one speaking tier, one banner per level with the pictures of the
religion, one alms basket per level, and one choir tier per 10 levels up to
two feet per level high each. This spell creates only the interior of the
room; it doesn't create the walls, floors, or ceilings.

The material components are one holy symbol from the religion, one drop of
holy or unholy water created by a priest of the religion, one miniature
bench of mahogany, one 1 square foot piece of a single large rug blessed by
a priest of the religion, a small wicker straw, one candle blessed by a
priest of the religion, one piece of silk (for the banners), and one 1 foot
cube of marble (for the tiers).

The effects of selling and combat possibilities are as for the other room
spells.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Curse of Lycanthropy (Alteration, Necromancy)
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell curses one creature with one of the most horrible existing
curses: the curse of lycanthropy. The creature has saving throw versus death
magic; if it saves, the spell is negated; if it fails it is affected as
below. The creature is turned into a lycanthrope of the caster's desires. It
might not even be apparent that the creature has suffered under the spell -
until the next full moon sets in. At that point the creature will change
into the lycanthrope desired by the caster and it is under the complete
control of the caster who is immediately notified that one of his creatures
has changed into a lycanthrope. The caster can see through the creature's
eyes, hear through the creature's ears, and use all other senses of the
creature as the creature can. He can even force the creature to do his will.
If that is tried, the creature gains a saving throw versus spell to resist
the command. Once it resists one command per level of the caster, it is free
of the caster's control and the caster cannot use its senses any more nor
can he try to force the creature to do his bidding. Until this point is
reached, the creature has no chance whatsoever of being cured - unless a
full wish is used. After this point is reached, the normal chances exist for
the creature to be cured by the normal means. Note:

during the time the creature is a werecreature it has no recollections of
what it was as a human, elf, etc. and vice versa.

The effect of this spell is permanent unless it is cured somehow. How
difficult this is is dependent on the DM. The duration of the control is
dependent as described above.

The material component is the head of a master lycanthrope (one who controls
at least ten others of its type) of the type the caster wishes the creature
to be changed into. The head has to somehow have stayed in its animal shape
without changing back to its normal humanoid shape.

This head has to be treated like a tathlum (a druidic or Celtic weapon,
described in the Legends and Lore book). It also has to be hurled at the
opponent. The caster has to make a to-hit roll; if he does not hit the
target, the spell (and the component) is wasted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dardan's Desolation (Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per 3 levels
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 25-foot radius
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Craig Singsank <singsank@oshkoshw.bitnet>

The casting of this spell causes an incandescent sphere of blistering dry
heat to envelop a 25-foot radius around the spell caster. All vegetation in
the area of effect will instantly wither and die from the seething
temperature as the ground buckles and cracks like hardened clay. Any flesh
exposed to this incinerating hellfire will stiffen and crack like old
leather and quickly peel away from the body. This crematorium-like effect
will continue until all that remains are the creature's bleached and
crumbling bones on the barren and lifeless ground.

All creatures caught in the spell's area of effect must save versus death
magic or have the spell's torrid fervour snuff the life out of them. If a
creature saves, it takes 1d8 points of damage and loses one point of
Constitution for a turn. A creature must continue to save each round they
are in the ardent sphere with a cumulative penalty of -1. The incandescent
sphere doesn't harm the caster and follows him as they move for the duration
of the spell.

Certain aqueous beings are highly susceptible to the effects of this spell.
All amphibious creatures, slimes, jellies, molds, and water-using creatures
under 6 HD are automatically destroyed when exposed to this spell, creatures
over 6 HD suffer a -2 on their saving throw. Only fire-using and related
creatures are immune to the spell (undead are not immune to the spell).

The material component of this spell is ground diamond (500 gp) and a drop
of the caster's blood.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darklight's Major Planar Weapon (Conjuration, Wild Magic)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2d4 turns
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Keith Taylor <ktaylor@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>

This spell is similar to Darklight's planar weapon. It conjures a large,
weightless weapon (speed factor 3), such as a two-handed sword or a polearm,
which can be used in total defiance of any restrictions. It acts as a
weapon, +5 in every respect, and does 5d12 points of special planar damage.
To determine which plane its energies are drawn from, roll on the following
table:

   * 01-50. Elemental plane. Roll 1d4 to determine which:
       1. Air. The weapon can release a gust of wind upon command, once
          every round, and can keep vaporous creatures at bay. It allows one
          to attack aerial creatures normally. It does double damage to
          earth or rock based creatures.
       2. Earth. The weapon petrifies a creature on a natural 19 or 20. It
          can carve a path through solid rock at a rate of MV 4 per round.
          It does double damage to gaseous or aerial creatures, and can
          attack earth-based or rock-like creatures normally.
       3. Fire. The weapon can emit a path of flame, 3 yards long, upon
          command (does burning hands damage as if cast at twelfth level of
          experience), and can melt ice at the rate of 3 cubic yards per
          round. It allows one to attack flame-based creatures normally, but
          does double damage to liquid creatures, water-based, or cold-using
          creatures.
       4. Water. The weapon, if a hit is made on a creature, can attempt to
          "drown" the creature (assuming it is air-breathing) by filling its
          lungs with water. Thereafter, it must make a successful
          Constitution check at -4 upon every hit or take an additional 3d10
          drowning damage. It can soak any three adjacent 1-yard squares
          with water, extinguishing normal fires, upon command. It also
          allows one to attack liquid creatures normally. It does double
          damage to fire-based creatures.

   * 51-60. Para-elemental plane. Roll 1d4 to determine which:
       1. Ice. The weapon causes a creature to freeze stiff for 5d10 rounds,
          taking 4d10 extra damage if it hits on a natural 20. It can freeze
          up to 1 cubic yard of liquid per round of touch. It allows one to
          attack creatures of ice normally, but does double damage to
          earth-based and air-based creatures.
       2. Magma. The weapon causes items touched to melt or become
          incinerated when it touches them, with no saving throw. On a
          natural 20, it does quadruple damage to normal creatures
          (quintuple to vulnerable creatures). It allows one to attack lava
          creatures normally, but does double damage to water-based or
          air-based creatures.
       3. Ooze. The weapon coats a creature with mud and slime, and causes
          their lungs to fill up with ooze (they must then make Constitution
          checks for 10 rounds or take 2d6 drowning damage per round). It
          allows one to attack slime or ooze creatures normally, but does
          double damage to fire-based and air-based creatures.
       4. Smoke. The weapon causes 5d6 extra suffocation damage on a natural
          19 or 20. It can fill six 1-yard squares per round with smoke,
          which functions as normal smoke (the wielder is immune to negative
          effects of generated smoke). It allows one to attack mist or
          smoke-based creatures normally, and does double damage to water or
          earth-based creatures.

   * 61-70. Positive quasi-elemental plane. Roll 1d4 to determine which:
       1. Lightning. The weapon knocks a creature back up to 15 yards on a
          natural 19 or 20, with a clap of thunder and 4d10 extra electrical
          damage. It allows one to attack electrical beings normally, and
          can do double damage to metallic, earth-based, or water-based
          creatures. Also, it is +6 to-hit against opponents with metal
          armour (because it is transmitted through such protections).
       2. Minerals. The weapon on a natural 18, 19 or 20 has a 50% chance of
          severing (as a sword of sharpness), otherwise the creature is
          petrified. It allows one to attack crystalline or mineral
          creatures normally, but does double damage to air-based or
          particulate (dust or sand) creatures.
       3. Radiance. The weapon turns an undead or shadow-creature, and on a
          natural 19 or 20, blinds a normal creature for 5d10 rounds. It
          emits light out to a 120-foot radius. It allows one to attack
          creatures of light or radiance normally, and does double damage to
          shadow-based creatures or undead.
       4. Steam. The weapon causes a normal creature to pass out from heat
          exhaustion, taking 4d8 extra damage, on a natural 19 or 20. It
          emits six 1-yard squares per round full of vapour (which does not
          hinder the wielder at all). It allows one to attack mist or
          vaporous creatures normally, and does double damage to flame (not
          purely heat-based) creatures or to cold (not purely water-based)
          creatures.

   * 71-80. Negative quasi-elemental plane. Roll 1d4 to determine which:
       1. Ash. The weapon causes 5d8 extra cold damage on a natural 19 or
          20. It lowers the temperature in a 60-foot radius by 40 degrees F
          every round (except the caster's body temperature). It allows one
          to attack ash-based creatures normally, and does double damage to
          flame or heat-based creatures.
       2. Dust. The weapon causes 5d8 extra deterioration damage on a
          natural 19 or 20. If held in contact with solid material, it
          breaks down 1 cubic yard per round of such, leaving behind only
          fine dust. It allows one to attack particulate (sand or dust)
          creatures normally, and does double damage to crystalline, rock,
          or earth-based creatures.
       3. Salt. The weapon causes 5d8 extra dehydration damage on a natural
          19 or 20. If held in contact with organic materials, it desiccates
          them completely in 1 round. It allows one to attack salt
          elementals normally, and does double damage to water-based or
          liquid creatures.
       4. Vacuum. The weapon causes 5d8 decompression damage on a natural 19
          or 20. It sucks nine 1-yard squares per round full of air into
          oblivion (the caster has no problems breathing), creating
          gale-force winds and having worse effects in enclosed spaces. It
          allows one to attack creatures of vacuum normally, and does double
          damage to air-based creatures.

   * 81-90. Border plane. Roll 1d2 to determine which:
       1. Astral. The weapon is invisible, but ignores all physical barriers
          to attack. It can cut a creature's silver cord on a natural 19 or
          20 (assuming they are projected). It does double damage to
          creatures from the astral plane. A normal creatures isn't able to
          heal from its wounds unless magically healed (as the damage is to
          the being's aura).
       2. Ethereal. The weapon is faintly visible as a ghostlike dagger, but
          ignores all physical barriers to attack. It attacks ethereal,
          spirit, or in-phase creatures for double damage. A normal
          creatures isn't able to heal from its wounds unless magically
          healed (as the damage is to the being's spirit).

   * 91-95. Material plane. Roll 1d2 to determine which:
       1. Negative material plane. The weapon drains two levels or Hit Dice
          of life energy on a natural 19 or 20. The weapon has no effect on
          undead creatures, but does double damage to creatures with a link
          to the positive material plane.
       2. Positive material plane. The weapon causes its special damage as
          healing to any living being, but if the being is already at full
          hit points, this applies as "damage". This "damage" is actual, but
          does not count as pulling a creature below full hit points in
          terms of this spell. On a natural 18, 19 or 20, it acts as a mace
          of disruption versus undead. Undead take double damage in any case
          from this weapon.

   * 96-98. Outer plane. Roll 1d20 to determine which:
       1. Seven Heavens. This weapon is gleaming white, and radiates golden
          light. It repels evil creatures as a fear spell, 15-yard radius.
          It does double damage to chaotic evil creatures, and cannot strike
          lawful good creatures. It can spray holy water upon command in a
          cone 1-yard base by 10 yards long with a 5-yard maximum spread.
       2. Twin Paradises. This weapon is of entwined silver and white
          marble. It can cure critical wounds three times per summoning upon
          lawful good and neutral good creatures, and cannot strike such. It
          does double damage to chaotic evil and neutral evil creatures.
       3. Elysium. This weapon is of pure, glowing silver. It can turn
          undead and evil lycanthropes as a 15th-level priest. It does
          double damage to neutral evil creatures, and can disrupt undead
          creatures on a successful hit, although it cannot strike neutral
          good creatures.
       4. Beastlands (Happy Hunting Grounds). This weapon is made of stout
          oaken wood. It radiates a 12-yard radius field of animal
          friendship aimed towards the caster. It cannot strike neutral good
          and chaotic good creatures, but does double damage to lawful evil
          and neutral evil creatures. It can cure critical wounds to any
          normal plant or animal it touches, once per round.
       5. Olympus. This weapon is made of fine, polished steel. It cannot
          strike chaotic good creatures, but does double damage to lawful
          evil creatures. It can create food and wine upon command, as the
          priest spell (cast at fifteenth level). It also does damage as if
          swung by one with 23 Strength.
       6. Gladsheim. This weapon crackles with lightning and fire, and is
          made of fine steel. It cannot strike chaotic good and chaotic
          neutral creatures, but does double damage to lawful neutral and
          lawful evil creatures. It gives a +5 to-hit and -5 on AC to any
          chaotic good and chaotic neutral warrior within 9 yards.
       7. Limbo. This weapon randomly shifts colour, composition, and
          radiance every round. It can strike any creature who can be hit by
          +5 weapons. Any spell effect directed at the wielder is changed
          into a wild surge. It randomly polymorphs any substance or object
          it touches thrice per round, and on a natural 18, 19 or 20
          polymorphs a creature randomly. It does double damage to lawful
          neutral creatures.
       8. Limbo.
       9. Limbo.
      10. Pandemonium. This weapon is made of howling wind and darkness. On
          a natural 18, 19 or 20, it blinds and confuses (as the spells) its
          target. It cannot strike chaotic neutral and chaotic evil
          creatures, but does double damage to lawful neutral and lawful
          good creatures.
      11. The Abyss. This weapon drips acid and venom, and is seemingly
          composed of demon-parts. On a natural 18, 19 or 20, it causes the
          target to save versus poison or take 5d20 poisonous acid damage,
          regardless of magical or natural resistance to poison or acid. It
          cannot strike chaotic evil creatures, but does double damage to
          lawful good creatures.
      12. Tartarus. This weapon is composed of stagnant black liquid. On a
          natural 18, 19 or 20, it causes complete amnesia which can only be
          removed by a heal spell. It cannot strike neutral evil and chaotic
          evil creatures, but does double damage to lawful good and neutral
          good creatures.
      13. Hades. This weapon is composed of bone and blood. On a natural 18,
          19 or 20, the victim must save versus death magic or be
          transformed into an undead creature. It cannot strike neutral evil
          creatures, but does double damage to neutral good creatures.
      14. Gehenna. This weapon is composed of mingled brimstone and shadow.
          It cannot strike neutral evil and lawful evil creatures, but does
          double damage to neutral good and chaotic good creatures. On a
          natural 18, 19 or 20, it inflicts a rotting disease upon its
          victim (as per a mummy's touch).
      15. Nine Hells. This weapon is composed of fire and brimstone. On a
          natural 18, 19 or 20, the creature struck takes 5d20 flame damage,
          regardless of magical or natural resistance to fire. It cannot
          strike lawful evil creatures, but does double damage to chaotic
          good creatures.
      16. Acheron. This weapon is made of cold iron which glows with a red
          radiance. On a natural 18, 19 or 20, it paralyses its victim. It
          cannot strike lawful neutral and lawful evil creatures, but does
          double damage to chaotic good and chaotic neutral creatures.
      17. Nirvana. This weapon is perfectly symmetrical along at least two
          axes, and appears to be made of grey crystal. On a natural 18, 19
          or 20, its victim is held for 5d10 rounds. It cannot strike lawful
          neutral creatures, but does double damage to chaotic neutral
          creatures.
      18. Arcadia. This weapon appears to be made of wood which has been
          turned into precious metal. When it touches any poison or acid,
          the latter is instantly nullified. It cannot strike lawful good
          and lawful neutral creatures, but does double damage to chaotic
          neutral and chaotic evil creatures. It can cure poison when it is
          touched to any creature, up to five times per round.
      19. Concordant Opposition. This weapon is of pure white crystal, fine
          steel, and polished obsidian intertwined. It cannot strike druids
          or other creatures who protect the balance. It does double damage
          to lawful good, chaotic good, chaotic evil and lawful evil
          creatures. Its attack ignores the defences of a creature whose
          powers are based on strong alignment, such as demons, paladins,
          and slaadi.
      20. Concordant Opposition.

   * 99-00. Unusual, demi-planar. Roll 1d4 to determine which:
       1. Demi-plane of electromagnetism. The weapon is +6 to-hit against
          opponents clad in metallic armour. It can repel or attract metal
          objects with 20 Strength within a 10-yard radius at command. On a
          natural 20, it knocks an opponent back up to 12 yards for 5d6
          extra impact damage. It does double damage to creatures of a
          ferrous composition.
       2. Demi-plane of shadow. The weapon is actually only quasi-real, but
          appears to be made of solid blackness. A creature struck must
          disbelieve or take double actual damage. It does double damage
          against creatures of light or any illusory "beings". On a natural
          18, 19 or 20, blinds a creature for 5d8 turns.
       3. Demi-plane of time. The weapon appears to be simply a wavering
          violet outline. It ages a creature 4 years for each point of
          damage accrued (random direction, 50% chance each hit of ageing
          older or younger). On a natural 20, it throws an opponent 1d4x1d10
          days into the future (or the past - at the DM's option).
       4. DM's option. This can be as strange as you like. It can be a
          weapon composed of the mists of Ravenloft, of the phlogiston, or
          of some far distant and really bizarre plane of the DM's own
          devising.

The material component is as with lesser planar weapon.

Darklight's Improved Force Armour (Alteration, Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 turns per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Keith Taylor <ktaylor@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>

This spell is an enhanced version of the 7th-level Darklight's force armour.
It is the same as the lower level spell, except as noted.

The armour is less awkward, giving the wizard full normal movement
capacities, but still incurring a -1 Dexterity penalty. It also adds flight
capabilities to the armour, with moulded constructs on the armour's back
which project coloured flame (actually jets of force, not fire). These
cannot be used to attack, but can propel the wizard at MV 36, MC C in tight
manoeuvring; over long distances, it can reach MV 72, MC F. The flight
capacity of the armour is limited to normal atmospheric flight.

The arms of the suit are equipped with retractable blades of force, "housed"
above the wizard's forearms and springing forth upon mental command. These
act as +2 weapons for purposes of what creatures may be hit, and can be used
without proficiency penalties. One attack with each per round can be made,
and on a successful hit do 2d10 cutting damage.

The armour glows slightly reddish, with brighter areas at the joints; it has
obvious bumps on the forearms and the back, where bright red jets of force
emerge during flight from a squarish force structure.

The material component is a diamond cut so as to resemble a small person, to
which is affixed a ruby sword and sapphire wings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darklight's Redstar (Evocation)
Range: 100 yards + 20 yards per four levels
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: Keith Taylor <ktaylor@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>

This spell creates a red, starlike ball of energy in the wizard's
outstretched hand, which darts out at the specified target as a magic
missile. It does 2d12 points of damage (+1 HP per level of the caster).

It will dispel the spells armour, shield, wall of force, minor globe of
invulnerability, and, at the DM's option, other spells. If the redstar hits
such a spell, it will be weakened and only deal 1d6 points of damage to the
(formerly) protected creature. When struck by an unweakened redstar, a
spellcasting creature must save versus paralysation at -4 or immediately
forget (and must re-memorise) 2d4 randomly determined spells in memory.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defy (Necromancy)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell allows the caster to impose a penalty to turning equal to half
his level, so a 20th-level necromancer would totally nullify the turning
attempts of a 10th-level priest. The spell affects all evil extraplanar
creatures that can see the caster. The material component of this spell is a
holy symbol of some evil god (not necessarily the caster's own). It is
consumed in the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demonstar (Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One target
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Unknown

This powerful attack spell is used exclusively against natives of the lower
planes. Against other creatures, it is absolutely harmless. When the spell
is cast, a star appears in the hand of the wizard, and travels at very high
speeds to implant itself on the creature's forehead, or the nearest
equivalent of a forehead. Then the star starts to glow very brightly and
with great heat. The demon gets to make his magic resistance roll, but at
-30%. If he fails his saving throw, he gets a saving throw versus spell
every round to reduce some of the spell's effects.

The star does 10d6 HP of damage per round, and immobilises the demon with
pain. The saving throw is for half damage and the ability to act, despite
the pain. The spell also blocks any gate attempts by the demon.

This blocking of gate attempts stops when the spell duration is over or the
demon is dead, whichever comes first.

The material component of this spell is a golden star.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dheryth's Gateway (Alteration)
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round + 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 10-foot diameter disk
Saving Throw: None
Author: Jim Gitzlaff <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

This spell creates a vertical disk 10 feet in diameter. It is a magical
portal to anywhere that is on the same plane, and that the caster had been
to previously. The portal clearly shows the other terrain and permits
two-way travel from either end of the gate to the other.

Nonliving material can only pass through if carried by a living creature.

The gateway does not automatically open to the intended spot. The success
roll is dependent on distance to the target:

          Distance            Chance of
                              opening
      within 100 miles          99%
      within 500 miles          50%
         same planet            10%
 other planet in same sphere     5%

Thus, an attempted gateway from Waterdeep to Bloodstone would open with only
a 10% chance of success, while a gateway from the south shore of Nyr Dyv to
Greyhawk City would be 99% likely to work.

If the gateway fails to open properly, there is a 50% chance that it opens
somewhere else. The exact location can be determined randomly or at the DM's
discretion, but it need not be near the target spot. It could as easily open
to a place a thousand or more miles away as on another planet. In any event,
the material components, a 6-inch diameter platinum mirror (200 gp or more)
and a diamond-nibbed pen (used to draw the gateway in the air, 1,000 gp or
more) are consumed by the casting.

The gateway can neither target nor originate from a place that is sealed
from teleportation or interplanar travel (eg. areas guarded by some sort of
screen, sanctum, etc, or rooms lined with gold or lead).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dheryth's Sanctum Sanctorum (Abjuration)
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: Twenty-seven thousand cubic feet
Saving Throw: None
Author: Jim Gitzlaff <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

This spell seals off an interior area (eg. building, room, cave) with a
volume up to 27,000 cubic feet, from entry by teleportation (including
teleport, teleport without error, dimension door, and even Drawmij's instant
summons and succour), plane shifting (including colour pools, border
ethereal penetration, and plane shift), and similar magical effects.

Any of these teleport-like effects may be performed, however, if a password
is known and spoken during the attempted entrance. There can only be one
password at a time, but it may be changed by recasting sanctum sanctorum.
The material component for this spell is a platinum lock, inlaid with gems,
worth at least 10,000 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Form (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: 1 round per point of Constitution per 6 levels
Casting Time: 10 rounds
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: James Bray <jbray@acad.bryant.edu>

The spell recipient takes the form of a dragon. Roll on the following table
to determine the type of dragon:

 D20 Roll    Dragon Type   Hit Dice
    1        red dragon       24
    2       green dragon      20
    3       white dragon      14
    4        blue dragon      10
    5       black dragon       7
    6         red youth        6
    7      black hatchling     1
   8-19       failure*         -
    20         gold**         20
* Failure results in a loss of 10 points of Constitution, recovered at a
rate of 1 per hour. If this drops the caster's Constitution below 1, he is
killed, unless a system shock roll is made, in which case his Constitution
is only lowered to 1.
** The duration is halved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumbf Ound's Bottling Spell (Alteration, Enchantment)
Range: 30 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Dumbf Ound

This spell is result of a mistake. Originally intended as a less powerful
version of boat in a bottle, Ound didn't spend enough time studying that
spell before making this one. While this spell does put one creature in a
bottle and then corks it, it doesn't have the power to shrink the person so
it jams the person through the little top of the bottle, the bottle of
course being magically bound as not to break.

Effectively the spell kills the creature or being and puts what remains in
the bottle. Unfortunately this is a messy procedure and not for those with
weak stomachs. The material components are a bottle, a cork, and a prism.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dwarkanath's Arcane Expander (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 3 turns
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: David E. Brooks Jr. and Elizabeth H. Brooks
<dbj@central.keywest.mpgn.com>

This spell was devised by the archmage Dwarkanath to increase the variety
(but not quantity) of spells normally available to a spellcaster.
Essentially, Dwarkanath's arcane expander provides a number of additional
spells that the wizard can select during an adventure (or group of small
adventures that are encompassed in the duration). It does not, however,
increase the number of spells the character may cast within a day.

For every two levels of the caster, one additional spell level's worth of
spells can be memorised. In other words, should an eighteenth level wizard
cast this spell, he could make selections that may be chosen from when
deciding upon a spell to be cast. Be aware that the character affected by
Dwarkanath's arcane expander must take the time to memorise the additional
selections. Because of the nature of the spell, the recipient must begin
memorising these spells within 1 turn of completing the casting of
Dwarkanath's arcane expander. If multiple spells are being memorised, each
must be started within one turn of the previous spell.

In order to cast this spell, the caster must gather rare oils and spices, as
well as samples of brain tissue from specific spellcasting creatures (the DM
should choose something appropriate for his campaign).

Generally, the gold piece costs for the material components for this spell
are typically 10,000 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elemental Gate (Conjuration)
Range: 50 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: One square foot per level
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown

This spell creates a small gate from an elemental plane. It allows the free
passage of objects and creatures from the elemental plane to the prime
material only, and not the other way around. If the gate is free standing,
it will only last for 2 turns + 1 round per level of the wizard. It may be
supported, though, by an ornate frame that will make it last exactly as long
as the frame itself.

 Element   Frame Type
   Air       Silver
  Fire       Brass
  Water   Gold or Gilt

Also needed as a material component of the type of material the wizard wants
the gate to open into. For instance, if the wizard wants salt water to spew
out of the gate, he needs to cast the water version with a sample of
saltwater. This works similarly with the other planes - air of the
appropriate freshness, temperature, etc. must exist as a sample.

The most common uses of this spell are listed below:

 Element                            Spell Effect

   Air       May be used to ventilate rooms, provide breathable air, and
                           maintain average temperatures.

  Fire    Often used to heat places in cold climates or serve as the heart
                                    of a forge.

  Water    Usually created to provide large quantities of fresh, drinkable
                                       water.

If the supporting frame is magicked with a protection from evil or good,
10-foot radius or similar spell, the vast majority of elemental creatures
that might stumble across the gate will be unable to pass through.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fellstar's Flame Jet (Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per 5 levels (4 rounds maximum)
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Fellstar

When this spell is cast, a jet of flames shoots forth from the wizard's
hand; this jet is 5 feet wide and has a length of up to 10 yards per level
of the wizard (the wizard may vary the length from 1 foot up to the maximum
range). The jet travels in a straight line and is blocked by normal
obstacles (stone, metal, etc.). If the jet is blocked, it will it will not
rebound, but may flow around the barrier if it is small enough (less than 5
feet across).

Anyone struck by the jet suffers 1d10 points of damage per two levels of the
wizard (up to a maximum of 10d10). A successful saving throw versus spell
reduces the damage by one half. If this saving throw fails, all possessions
must save versus magical fire or be consumed.

The flames from this spell will melt ice and ignite wood on contact; they
are able to melt a hole in a wall of ice in a single round (though they will
not destroy it), and can bring down a wall of fog instantly; other wall
spells are not affected by this spell.

The jet will remain in effect for one round for every 5 levels of the
wizard, up to a maximum of 4 rounds. A single creature must be chosen as the
target for the jet (but others may be struck if they are in the path of the
flames) and a new target may be selected each round the spell is in effect.

If the wizard chooses, two jets (one from each hand) may be employed instead
of one; if this is the case, range and damage are halved (in some cases, one
jet will do one more die of damage than the other). A separate target may be
chosen for each of these jets each round they are in effect.

At the beginning of each round the spell is in effect, the wizard may split
a single jet in two, or may combine two jets into a single one.

The material components for this spell are a powdered ruby and a powdered
fire opal which must be worth a least 500 gp together. The powdered gems are
mixed together in the hand(s) of the wizard at the time of the casting; all
material components are consumed with the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Gem (Abjuration, Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 3 turns
Area of Effect: One gem
Saving Throw: None
Author: August Neverman <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

This spell requires an expensive gem. The value of the gem depends on the
number of spell levels that will be cast into the gem. The gem's value must
be 5000 gp per spell level of the spell or spells (cumulative).

This spell causes a gem to have a flame appear at the centre. The flame has
no real significance other than that the gem is ready to receive spells.
After a spell is cast into a gem it can be called forth in one tenth of a
round. The spell will act at the level it was cast into the gem. The gem is
destroyed in the process.

A spell that is going to be placed into a fire gem must be equal to or less
than the wizard's level divided by four, rounded down. An 18th-level wizard
could put up to a 4th-level spell into a fire gem. A 24th-level wizard could
put up to a 6th-level spell into a fire gem.

If permanency is used on a fire gem, it will allow the spell to be cast a
number of times per day. To determine how many times the spell or spells can
be cast, divide the wizard's level by five times the level of the spell,
i.e., a 1st-level spell cast into a fire gem at eighteenth level will be
able to be cast 18/5 or 3 times a day. If a conduit spell is added before
the permanency it will double the effects of the spell (if appropriate) and
double the number of uses per day.

Remember that a permanency and a conduit spell are a total of 19 spell
levels. Therefore a conduit, permanency and magic missile would require a
gem costing 20x5000 = 100,000 gp gem. Also the wizard would be unable to
cast spells for 20 days (due to the effects of the conduit).

Fire Storm (Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 60-foot radius sphere
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

Fire storm is an expanded version of fireball. The instant after the spell
is cast, a 60-foot radius sphere is filled with extremely hot flames. The
flames do 1d6+1 damage per level of the wizard, with a saving throw allowed
for half damage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flame Bolts (Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: S, M
Duration: 1d4 rounds
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Jason Riek (Karaieth) <jriek@shs.mv.com>

This spell allows the caster to throw forth 1d4 bolts of red and white
flame. The number of bolts is up to the caster. During the round the spell
is cast, the wizard can do nothing else, and must concentrate on summoning
the energies necessary to cast the spell. The caster can throw forth one
bolt every round after the initial one until his bolts are used up. A bolt
inflicts 2d10 damage to everyone in its path (no saving throw). It explodes
when the wizard wills it to, when it collides with a solid object (like a
wall), or when it reaches the edge of its range.

If the caster used 1 bolt, it explodes in a 40-foot radius and to 10d12
damage (save for half on all explosions). Two bolts have a blast radius of
30 feet and do 5d10 damage each. Three bolts: 20-foot radius and 5d6 damage.
Four bolts: 10-foot radius and 5d4 damage. The material components of this
spell are a lit torch and a dragon's bone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freeze [2] (Abjuration)
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1d4+1 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: Kenneth C. Jenks <kjenks@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.gov>

This spell will put one creature in temporal stasis for 1d4+1 rounds.

This special temporal stasis cannot be dispelled, but the affected creature
cannot be harmed, contacted or influenced for the duration of the spell.

The short, variable duration makes this more of an "escape from the bad
guys" spell than an attack spell, but you can always pick up your
newly-created statue and do interesting things to him - as long as this is
done quickly. This works best if you have cliffs or volcanoes nearby.

The material component for this spell, which was researched by Whitewolf, is
an hourglass.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gate Fiend (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 20 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 turns per level
Casting Time: 2 rounds
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell is similar to the 7th-level gate lesser fiend, save that as the
power of the fiends being gated goes up, so do the price and the risks. Any
fiend gated in with this spell may save versus spell (with a -2 penalty) to
be free willed. Magic resistance is of no benefit.

However, even a controlled fiend will not automatically follow the commands
of the wizard. All "control" means is that the fiend will not attack. Also,
a free willed fiend will not always attack if the wizard acts swiftly (of
course, sometimes they will...).

This spell summons a single fiend, to whom the wizard makes an offer. If the
fiend accepts, it performs a task, which is often just fighting for the
wizard. This offer is included in the casting time of the spell.

After one round of casting, the fiend is on the prime material plane, and if
the concentration of the wizard is broken the fiend becomes free willed. The
nature of the offer varies with each summoning, but it typically includes
the chance to kill sentient creatures, and payment in the form of magic or
treasure (gold and gems being the most common).

Exactly how much should be offered is usually only found out by consulting
sages, old tomes, or wizards that use this spell often (of which there
remain very few). A quick wizard will increase the reward to a free willed
fiend. As with the lesser spell, a fiend that does not kill a sentient
creature will be free willed at the end of the spell, with the option of
staying on the plane for an additional 10 turns, having a lot of enmity
towards the wizard. With fiends that are not free willed, the wizard can
dismiss them at any time, returning them to their own plane.

This spell can be used to summon the following types of fiends: abishai,
barbazu, erinyes, hamatula, osyluth, farastu, alu-fiends (no genii),
bar-lgura, cambions (either barons or major ones, no mages), and succubi.
The more powerful the fiend, the higher the price. The more intelligent
fiends (erinyes, some alu-fiends and cambions, succubi) might demand as
their price some service from the wizard. The nature of the service will
always be evil, and the goal of the fiend is to entice the wizard into
further summonings and greater evils so that eventually the fiends (of that
particular type) will control the wizard. If a deal cannot be reached, the
fiend is immediately returned to its home plane.

The material component for this spell is a holy symbol from any good faith
(minimum value 1500 gp; it must have been made by that faith) which is
broken as the spell is cast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giant Call (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 50 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell summons a number of giants to fight for the wizard, in the manner
of the other call spell. Unlike with those spells, the giants summoned by
this spell can perform other tasks, provided the wizard can communicate with
them. The giants summoned come from the following list:

 Wizard's Level         Summoned Giants
     16-17       hill (12 HD) or stone (14 HD)
     18-19       fire (16 HD) or frost (14 HD)
      20+                cloud (17 HD)

The wizard can summon up to 1.5 HD per level. The giants summoned will never
be spellcasters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greater Infravision (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell is identical to the 3rd-level infravision, save for its greatly
increased duration. Note that the wizard cannot cast this spell on other
people.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improved Mirror Image (Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 4 rounds per level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 12-foot radius
Saving Throw: None
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This spell is a much more powerful version of mirror image. Not only are
more images (1d6 + 1 per 2 levels) created, but they last longer, and the
ruse can only be detected with a gem of true seeing or similar device. The
phantasms are solid for all intents and purposes, taking damage when
attacked instead of winking out. A wand of negation or dispel magic will
destroy only one of the phantasms. The material component is a small mithril
mirror worth not less than 500 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improved Permanent Illusion (Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 20 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One 20-foot per side per level cube
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell works like a permanent advanced illusion with an included bonus:
it starts to have touch components as well. Thus, it could be used to
simulate something a character can touch in the illusion (even in disbelief)
and actually feel the illusion without the illusion vanishing. If a
character states that he disbelieves he gets a saving throw versus spell at
-4 due to the power of the spell if that character actually touches the
illusion - it does not work if he just sees it. If he succeeds, he can pass
through the illusion, but the illusion does not vanish for him. If they
still disbelieve, they can attempt a second saving throw versus spell at
their normal chances. If they succeed again, they completely disbelieve the
illusion. If they fail at one of their saving throws they stay at their
current state of belief or disbelief. Thus, if they failed at their first
saving throw, they could still touch and feel the illusion (with all the
consequences that entails). If they failed their second saving throws they
could pass through the illusion but it would still exist as a very good
hologram for them - and they would still take damage if it were the illusion
of for example a wall of ice.

The material components are a small sample of the material normally used to
create the real article to be created by the illusion plus a small opaque
gem polished to mirror smoothness which has to be so thin has to transparent
again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improved Phantasmal Killer (Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell, like its 4th-level counterpart, draws on the inner fears of the
victim's subconscious mind to create a terrifying monster that only he can
see. The killer has all the abilities of its lower level cousin.

However, it attacks twice per round as a 6 HD creature, hitting any Armour
Class on a 19 or 20.

The defence for this spell is the same as for the 4th-level version.

Having been attacked by that spell does not grant a bonus to this one.

If the killer is disbelieved, the wizard has a 4% chance per level of
turning it onto a new victim. This chance drops to 3% per level for a third
victim, 2% per level for a fourth, and 1% per level for a fifth.

The killer can also be turned to a new victim if it kills its current one.
If any of the turning attempts fail, the killer is dispelled.

If the killer is turned on its creator (by a reflection, for example), that
wizard gets a +2 on a possible attempt to disbelieve. Anyone who reverses
the killer cannot direct it to any other victims except the original caster.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Infernal Tornado (Evocation)
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 1 day
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Dark Matter <iceblade@eskimo.com>

While the wizard is casting this spell, a dark ominous cloud begins to
gather in a 1 mile-diameter region centred over the target. Upon completion
of the spell, a dark, fiery tornado of fire grows from the base of the cloud
until it touches the ground. The whirling mass of fire proceeds to wander
about the area, incinerating everything in its path.

Each round, the tornado travels in a random direction at a movement rate of
20. The flames inflict 1hp of damage per tenth of a round of exposure for
every level of experience of the spell caster. The diameter of the cylinder
is about 50 feet, and anyone within 25 feet must make a Strength check each
round to keep from being sucked into the cylinder by the powerful blast of
winds.

The material component of this spell is a large iron pot filled with
charcoal that must be kept burning for the duration of the casting.

Sulphur and 500 gp worth of crushed amber must be gradually added to the
pot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ironskin (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell has a similar effect as stoneskin. It was copied from the
6th-level priest spell on Athas (see the Dark Sun books). It protects the
recipient from the damage of weapons, whether magical or normal unless they
function by touch (like a touch spell). In contrast to stoneskin, this spell
does not lose its efficiency if the weapon would not have hit. It protects
against 1d6 attacks + 1 attack per 2 levels.

Thus, if this spell would have been cast by a 16th-level wizard, it would
protect against 9 to 14 attacks that would have hit - don't deduct those
that did not hit (including those parried by the character). Thus, if the
roll had been 4, the recipient would be protected against a full 12 hits,
not against 12 attacks. If he had been attacked 20 times but only 10 would
have hit, he still would have 2 protected attacks.

The material component is a minute full plate armour made from mithril that
has been enchanted with enchant an item and a mending spell. This costs no
less than 5000 gp. This spell is not cumulative with itself, but it is
cumulative with one (and only one) stoneskin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jamye's Spell Reversal (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level, minus 10 rounds
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: Special
Author: D.J. McCarthy <dmccart@modl01.intel.com>

This spell affects the saving throws versus spells of the subject in much
the same way that the 5th-level Jamye's armour reversal (q.v.) affects
attack rolls, i.e. saving throw results that would normally indicate success
will fail, and results that would normally fail will succeed. For example, a
19th-level wizard normally needs a 6 or greater to save versus spell. If he
is affected by a spell reversal, he will need a 5 or less (i.e. a failure
under normal circumstances) to save versus spell. Protection devices, Wisdom
bonuses, etc. still work to the benefit of the subject, i.e. if the above
wizard had a ring of protection, +3 and a Wisdom of 16 (+2 magical defense),
he would need an 8 or less to save versus most spells (5 normally, +3 for
the Ring) and a 10 or less to save versus spells that would give him his
Wisdom bonus.

Likewise, penalties to saving throws still work to the detriment of the
subject. If the subject is willing, there is no saving throw; otherwise, a
normal saving throw versus spell (obviously, this is made before the spell
takes effect) will negate it.

There are certain special cases that apply to this spell. It is not affected
by spell turning. The only thing that can dispel it is another spell
reversal cast at the subject, who must make a saving throw while under the
influence of the original spell reversal. If the subject is under the
influence of another spell that grants invulnerability to certain spells
(shield versus magic missile, for instance, or any type of globe of
invulnerability, but not anti-magic shell), the subject takes full, maximum
damage from that spell with no saving throw. For instance, a wizard has both
shield and spell reversal cast upon him. If he is targeted for magic
missiles during the time both spells are functioning, he will take 5 points
of damage - the maximum possible - from each missile that hits him.

The material components for this spell are a piece of amber worth no less
than 300 gp, and a doughnut made less than 24 hours previously.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kelennor's Flesh To Ash (Alteration, Necromancy)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Author: J.D. Falk <jdfalk@cap.gwu.edu and bel004@acad.drake.edu>

This spell slowly incinerates a victim from the feet up turning him into a
pile of ash (imagine a cigarette). Once successfully started, the spell
cannot be stopped short of the use of a wish. A bright red-orange ember
slowly works its way up from the feet to the head converting all flesh into
ash. It is a very slow and excruciatingly painful process.

The victim is kept alive until the ember reaches the level of the brain (to
extend the torture to its maximum). Any fire-resistance or successful saving
throw versus death magic will prevent the conversion to ash, but the ember
still progresses its way up as normal, inflicting 2d12 damage, and renders
the victim immobile for 1 turn due to the intense pain. To date, there has
been found no reverse spell to counter the effects of a conversion to ash.
Spell components include one black smoky quartz, worth 75 gp or more (used
up in the spell) and a strand of webbing from a gargantuan spider soaked in
its venom (not used up).

This spell was created by a drow vampire (W19/F9) named Kelennor.

Ironically, legend claims the first victim of this spell was the vampire
that changed Kelennor into his undead state.

Kiri's Tween (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: David Kelk <fs337203@sol.yorku.ca>

Upon casting this spell, a tween is summoned to adopt the caster as a host.
Upon adapting the caster, the tween gives him all of the benefits described
in the 1st. ed. Fiend Folio (page 91). They are: two rolls instead of one
for just about everything (to-hit, saving throws, damage) where the caster
takes the more beneficial roll and the opposite for foes who take the worse
of two rolls.

Tween: AC 10, HD: 1d8 + 1 per caster level, number of attacks: 1, damage: by
weapon type, special attacks: none, special defences:

etherial, MR: 0%, Intelligence: very, alignment: neutral, psionic abilities:
none.

To successfully cast this spell, a gate spell to the etherial plane must
first be cast successfully.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kiss of the Nereid (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 0
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Vinnie <gtv@bouw.tno.nl>

When the kiss is bestowed, the victim must roll a successful saving throw
versus breath weapon, with a -2 penalty, or drown instantly. If he doesn't
drown, he finds total ecstasy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lesser Wildfire III (Invocation/Evocation, Wild Magic)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One spell
Saving Throw: None
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell is identical to the 3rd-level lesser wildfire I, except that any
spell of levels 1-6 can be duplicated. Any saving throws are made at a -1.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life Leech (Necromancy)
Reversible
Range: Special
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Geoffrey Edward Fagan <gefagan@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu>

This spell allows the wizard to steal 2d6 years from a victim and add them
to his own life. The victim must be human and of a level equal to or greater
than that of the wizard. If the victim is of lower level, the number of
years transferred is multiplied by the victim's level and divided by the
necromancer's. Since the victim must be in the centre of a pentagram at the
completion of the casting, it is useful to have him held or immobilised in
some way. The reverse spell, give life, works in the same fashion, except
that the wizard ages 2d6 years while the recipient becomes younger, and the
recipient must be willing. In either case, the material components are a
black candle, a white candle, a drop of blood from both parties, and a
specially prepared glass screen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Range Carrier (Alteration)
Range: 100 miles per level
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

Long-range carrier is like 5-mile carrier but the range is 100 miles per
level of wizard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorlovelm's Magical Manuscript (Alteration, Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 month per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: Scroll or spellbook touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Phill Hatch <phatch@slc.mentorg.com>

This spell causes a written item to be moved to a small pocket dimension,
created by the spell. For the spell's duration, the item can be called forth
by a mental command from the caster. The caster cannot call forth if he is
insane, feebleminded, etc. When the item appears, it is invisible to all but
the caster and can only be detected by true seeing or godlike powers (a
dragon could not detect it). It can also be detected by touch. The item
floats one foot in front of the caster's face, moving with him. The caster
can see through it at will, or can make it appear translucent, doubling
reading time but allowing him to detect movement on the other side. He can
see the item even in darkness, though not magical darkness. Pages, if any,
turn at the caster's will.

The item can be sent back at will until the spell ends. If the spell's
duration expires and the item is still in the pocket dimension, it is
spilled into a random plane. The material component of this spell is a glass
prism, which is consumed in the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorlovelm's Non-Detectable Magic (Abjuration, Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One item touched per 5 levels
Saving Throw: None
Author: Phill Hatch <phatch@slc.mentorg.com>

This spell causes a number of magical items to be undetectable as magical by
any means short of the scrutiny of a greater god. The item cannot be in
physical contact with another being of more than animal Intelligence at the
time of casting. The spell lasts until the item is no longer magical, and
can be cast on an item before it is magical, as long as it is magically
endowed in the following round. Can also be cast with enchant an item.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorth's Sending (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature touched per 2 levels
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Aaron Sher <ars3_cif@uhura.cc.rochester.edu>

The sending spell was created by Lorth the Traveller as a more versatile
form of teleport. When the spell is cast, one creature for every two levels
of the wizard (rounded down) is sent to a place defined by the wizard as for
a teleport spell (the wizard must have a mental image of the place). The
creatures must be touching the wizard, but "chains" are possible. The wizard
does not have to accompany them, but he may if he so desires. There is no
chance of error for this spell.

If any of the creatures sent is harmed within 5 minutes of arrival, all of
them will be bounced back to the place from which they were sent (whether
they want to go or not). Any damage incurred during those five minutes, to
themselves or their equipment, is erased. Note that this does not allow the
spell to be used as a quick and easy messenger spell; anything dropped
during the five minute grace period is returned with its owner. This can be
used as a fail-safe teleport. After the five minute period elapses, the
spell expires and the protected individuals are on their own. The sending
will not work across planar boundaries.

Unwilling creatures receive a saving throw versus death magic to resist this
spell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic Resistance (Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1d10 rounds + 1 round per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: David E. Brooks Jr. and Elizabeth H. Brooks
<dbj@central.keywest.mpgn.com>

As the name implies, this spell grants the recipient a small amount of magic
resistance. The amount provided to the recipient is 1% per level of the
caster, up to a maximum of 20%. During the course of the spell, the
recipient gains the benefits of a naturally magic resistant creature,
including the ability to lower the protection provided by this spell
temporarily (for healing magic, for instance). See the Player's Handbook and
Dungeon Master's Guide for the effects of magic resistance.

Unfortunately, the spell is not without its side effects. At the expiration
of the spell, the recipient must make a saving throw versus death magic
without any bonuses provided by magic items, potions, spells and so forth -
failure to save indicates that a magic item (determined randomly, excluding
artifacts) is drained permanently of any enchantments.

If cast upon a creature with natural magic resistance, or already under the
effect of a prior magic resistance spell, the spell has no beneficial
effects, although the draining of a magic item may still occur. Also, an
unwilling creature automatically resists this spell.

A piece of flesh of a naturally magic resistant creature is required to cast
this spell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major Globe of Invulnerability (Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 10-yard diameter sphere
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown

This spell is the same as the 4th-level minor globe of invulnerability
(q.v.), except with regards to casting time. This spell prevents the
function of 1st- to 5th-level spells passing through and affecting the
wizard within the sphere, while allowing the wizard to cast spells through
it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Masol's Spell to Item Transferral (Alteration, Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Item touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Masol

When this spell is cast, the wizard establishes a link with the item he
holds. Immediately after casting this spell, the wizard must cast another
touch ranged spell or the effects of the transferral are negated. The
casting time of this second spell equals its original casting time plus 1.
The second spell is cast in the same round as the first.

Whenever the item hits another creature, the effects of the second touch
spell immediately take effect. The spell stays in the item until it either
is discharged, or the second spell's duration runs out.

A permanency spell cast on an item with transferral cast on it, will have
the effect of the transferral until dispelled (note that the second spell
will not be permanent).

The material component of this spell is the item on which the transferral is
to take place. Note that this implies that the item is consumed in the
casting (but after the discharge).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mass Flesh to Stone (Alteration)
Reversible
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

Mass flesh to stone is the ultimate attack spell of earth elementalists.

It affects up to one creature per two levels in a 40-foot cube. If there are
more creatures in the area, those to be affected are selected randomly. All
those affected must save versus petrification or be turned to stone. The
reverse of this spell, mass flesh to stone, operates normally, except that
normal stone cannot be turned to flesh.

The material component of this spell is a significant part of a creature
that can naturally turn flesh to stone. The eye of a basilisk or medusa, or
several snakes from the head of a medusa would suffice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mass Speed Casting (Alteration, Enchantment, Metamagic)
Reversible
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 5 rounds + 2 rounds per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature touched per 3 levels
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell has the same effect as speed casting, except that it works on
multiple persons. They have to be linked in a circle. The caster has to
touch only one person in the circle. He can choose which persons in the
circle gain the power - up to maximum spell capacity. The caster has to
quaff the material component: a potion of speed and a potion of human
control at once (roll for potion miscibility). If an immiscible result comes
up, the spell failed. No matter how ageless or protected the character is,
he has to roll a system shock roll at half Constitution.

If he fails, he dies and ages 10 true years per person in the circle, no
matter what protection he had. If successful, the caster ages only one true
year per person in the circle and survives otherwise.

In the reverse, mass slow casting, there does not have to be a circle (the
range is 10 feet), but the effects are the same as under the slow casting
spell, for any spell caster that can be affected by this spell.

A maximum of one person per 3 caster levels can be affected with this spell.
All persons to be affected have to be within an area of no more than 100
square feet per caster level.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meld Death (Alteration, Necromancy)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell allows the caster to borrow all the natural abilities of an
undead creature sampled by the components. This is why you'd see
necromancers packing skeletal shards all the time. Vampire hands and mummy
hands are the most popular. The caster does not suffer from undead
limitations. Attempting to make this spell permanent only works 30% of the
time, the other 70% of the time, it will transform the caster into said
undead (so be smart and use a lich hand if you're feeling lucky).

The material component of this spell is an undead's hand.

Morgwar's Undead Strength (Alteration, Necromancy)
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 hour per Strength point
Area of Effect: One undead
Saving Throw: None
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell increases the physical powers of an undead. This spell can grant
an undead creature physical strengths up to a maximum of the level of the
caster with a maximum of 25. Each point of Strength increase costs the
wizard one Strength point and one Constitution point each - permanently.
Once the maximum of Strength for his level is reached, the wizard can try to
boost the fighting level of the undead by one for every five Strength and
Constitution points he donates. This can be boosted to the level of a
fighter of the wizard's level. The undead gain all bonuses of a fighter of
that level, including multiple attacks, weapon proficiency slots, etc. They
can even specialise (even with their claws or in punching, wrestling, even
martial arts).

The material components are a potion of giant strength (of any kind) and a
potion of undead control of the type of undead to be boosted per point of
increase.

Muier's Instantaneous Immolation (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Calvin (Azrael)

By use of this spell, the casting wizard can transform himself or another
creature into a ball of flame. While in this form, the affected creature
temporarily loses all his possessions and spellcasting abilities, but is
able to fly at a speed of 48 (A) and cause damage to opponents simply by
crashing into them. While immolated, a character strikes with the normal
THAC0 of a monster half his level or Hit Dice.

A hit causes 6d6 HP of fire damage.

An immolated creature can be harmed only by cold-based attacks and magical
weapons while in fireball form. Cold causes double damage to the creature,
while magical weapons cause normal damage. However, an immolated creature in
motion is extremely hard to hit, having a base Armour Class of -2, which may
be bettered (but not worsened) by the creature's natural Armour Class
without armour or other protection.

The material component of this spell is some sulphur.

Mystyk's Halflife (Necromancy)
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Mystyk

When this spell is cast, a crackling, black bolt shoots from the wizard's
palm towards its victim. The wizard must make a successful to-hit roll (with
a +2 bonus) in order to hit the target; if this roll misses, use the grenade
scatter diagram to determine if anyone else is hit by the bolt. If anyone is
in the area of the miss, a normal to-hit roll (with no bonus) is used to
determine if the stray bolt hits anyone.

Anyone who is hit by the bolt must make a saving throw versus spell; if this
roll is successful, the spell has no effect and the bolt dissipates. If the
saving throw fails, the victim immediately loses half of his current hit
points (round fractions down), and is rendered unconscious by the shock.
These lost hit points may be regained through normal means.

The material component for this spell is an onyx gem worth at least 500 gp.
The gem is held in the hand of the wizard, and is consumed when the spell is
cast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mystyk's Major Backlash (Abjuration, Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Mystyk

This spell is identical to Mystyk's improved backlash except for the
following: when the wizard is hit in melee, any damage suffered is halved;
in addition, if the wizard makes a successful saving throw versus rod, staff
or wand, the attack inflicts no damage at all. Also, the energy bursts
inflict 10d6 points of damage on any attacker; a successful saving throw
versus spell reduces this damage by half.

The material component for this spell is the same as that for Mystyk's
backlash except the gem must be worth at least 800 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mystyk's Plane Survival (Abjuration, Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: One creature touched per 5 levels
Saving Throw: None
Author: Mystyk

This spell provides the wizard with a means of surviving on a hostile plane
of existence. In order for this spell to work, the wizard must have access
to a library or other source of information on the plane in question. This
information must then be studied for an extended length of time; this period
is equal to: 24 weeks - 1 week per level of the wizard (to a minimum of one
week). After this time has passed, the wizard is ready to cast the spell.

Each time this spell is cast for use on a new plane, the normal study time
is required. If cast for use on a previously studied plane, and less than a
week has passed since the last casting with respect to that plane, no
additional studying is necessary as the information is still fresh in the
wizard's mind; however, if more than a week has elapsed since the previous
casting, a day of brushing up is required.

If the wizard is a sage with expertise in the plane in question, normal
research times are required (see section on sages in the Dungeon Master's
Guide) the first time this spell is cast for use on that plane.

If cast again within two weeks, no additional time for studying is needed;
if cast more than two weeks later, only 12 hours of brushing up is
necessary. These times also apply if the wizard is obtaining this
information from another sage.

Using the information gained from his studies, the wizard prepares the plane
survival spell. After one hour has passed, the spell is complete; at this
time, the DM secretly rolls percentile dice; a result of 5 or lower
indicates the wizard has used erroneous information in the casting of the
spell which will reduce the protection afforded by the spell, and may even
cause it to fail altogether (the exact effects depend on the source of
information and other factors, and it is left to the DM to decide the exact
results). If some or all of the planar information was obtained by a sage
who misdirected the wizard, the percentile roll has a -25% penalty applied
to it. Even if correct information is obtained from a sage, a -5% penalty
applies, since the wizard is using secondhand information. In any case, if
the roll results in a 1, the spell fails altogether (although the wizard
will not know this until attempting to make use of the spell's protection).

If the spell was successfully cast, it will grant the wizard (along with
others, if the wizard's level is high enough) protection from the hostile
environment of the studied plane of existence. The recipients may move about
in the plane as if they were in the prime material plane; conditions that
would make it hazardous or impossible to exist in the plane are negated by
this spell. Spells have a chance of having normal effects while under the
influence of the plane survival spell: when a spell is cast, if the wizard
makes a successful saving throw versus paralysation, his spell will have
normal effects (as if it were cast on the prime material plane) instead of
the effects it usually has on that plane.

If the recipients are still on the plane when this spell expires, normal
characteristics for that plane go into effect immediately. Note that this
spell provides no way of moving from one plane to another; it only provides
a means of survival once a plane is reached. The wizard may have more than
one of these spells in affect at a time, as long as the appropriate amount
of time has been spent studying each plane.

The material components for this spell are a diamond worth at least 1000 gp
and a specimen of a substance related to the plane in question (i.e. some
fire for the plane of fire, darkness for the negative material plane, etc.).
Alternately, something symbolising the plane may be used (i.e. a balance for
the plane of concordant opposition).

Nilspace Doorway (Alteration, Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 6 hours
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Keith Taylor <ktaylor@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>

This is an extremely complex spell requiring significant preparation before
casting. First, an ornate, rune-encrusted stone archway must be built, with
an iron door hinged therein, the cost of constructing this being no less
than 10,000 gp. The runes follow a prescribed pattern, but the door may be
decorated as the designer wills. The spell is then cast, and during the
process the wizard must not be interrupted. This infuses the arch (and door)
with the proper magics. Included in this casting is a specialized form of
the permanency spell. When the spell is finished, the door may then be
opened into an extradimensional space of extensive volume: 10 cubic yards
per level of the caster, in a simple shape of the caster's choosing. No
complex forms may be made; thus, cubes, domes, and other simple, continuous
shapes are the only possibilities. The space is featureless and black; not
even the edges of its "walls" are visible, although they are certainly solid
to the touch. However, since the space is permanent and stable, the wizard
can have facilities built within, regardless of the weight brought inside.
Note that it does not matter where the arch is set up, in the side of a
wall, or even free-standing, it is only accessible from one side, the other
being featureless stone.

Also, note that other extradimensional spaces may be brought herein; the
door will not open for someone carrying such a space, be it a bag of
holding, a portable hole, or even a deeppockets spell whose duration has not
yet lapsed. The space maintains the last temperature and atmosphere verbally
requested by the wizard, the environment shifting instantly, with conditions
anywhere between 0 and 120 degrees F, with atmosphere ranging from
high-altitude to thick, sea-level, from extremely foggy to pristine, and
from muggy to desert-dry. Note that deadly conditions and extreme weather
may not be set up herein. Many other spells favourably interact with the
Nilspace's make-up; notably unseen servant, magic mouth (reprogrammable in
this case), invisibility (on the door), guards and wards (switchable), and
others, including Darklight's mysterious manservant. Incorporating such a
spell into the fabric of the Nilspace requires an additional hour of casting
during the creation of the space, along with another 1,000 gp of
craftsmanship on the arch. Another method is to cast the spell to be
incorporated with the assistance of certain special components, different
for each spell, but uniformly rare or expensive. The incorporated spells are
permanent within the nilspace and are usually "user friendly", such as the
reprogrammable magic mouth mentioned above; the DM must decide what spells
may be treated this way, but no offensive or healing magics will take hold
(typically the spells are utilitarian in nature and of low power).
Destruction of a nilspace is extremely difficult and requires the equivalent
of a wish. The spell was created by the wizard Darklight.

Noska Trades' Mass Contagion (Necromancy)
Range: 5 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature per level
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Noska Trades

This spell causes a major disease and weakness in one or more creatures in
the same way as the contagion spell. Up to one creature per experience level
of the wizard can be affected, provided that all subject creatures are
within the spell range.

The afflicted individual is immediately stricken with painful and
distracting symptoms: boils, blotches, lesions, seeping abscesses, and so
on. Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma are reduced by 2. Attack rolls are
decreased by 2. The effect persists until the character receives a cure
disease or spends 1d3 weeks taking a complete rest to recover.

Characters ignoring the mass contagion for more than a day or so may be
susceptible to worse diseases at the discretion of the DM.

Saving throws against the spell suffer a penalty of -1, and if a single
creature is to be affected, its saving throw suffers a -4 penalty.

Orko's Elemental Triads (Evocation)
Range: 15 yards + 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Orko

When this spell is cast, three bolts of fire, electricity, frost, water, or
acid shoot forth from the palm of the wizard. They may strike one, two or
three targets. If more than one target is struck, the targets must be within
60 degrees of each other. The damage inflicted is 1d6 HP + 1 HP per level.
The wizard must be able to see the targets. Successful saving throws halve
the damage. A saving throw applies to each separate bolt so if only one
creature is attacked then it must make three saving throws.

The material component for this spell is a small piece of gold shaped like a
pyramid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phase Conjugation (Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This powerful defensive spell provides superlative protection against
directed energy attacks. Any spell or effect which projects a discrete
stream of energy at the recipient is deflected back in the direction from
which it came. This is more than just a simple deflection, however. The
spell is phase conjugated, which means it retraces its path exactly.

If the recipient is within half the range of the attacking spell, the
offending wizard suffers the full effect of his own spell, no saving throw
allowed. The reason this is so, is that the wizard cannot possibly dodge
fast enough to avoid the rebounding energies. Only magic resistance, and
whatever other defenses he may have, will protect him.

Examples of spells affected by phase conjugation are:

   * any ray-type spell,
   * magic missiles of any type,
   * lightning bolts (call lighting will not strike the wizard), and
   * cone of cold, heat, or force (only the recipient 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 matter, not energy).

The material component of this spell is a small device consisting of three
highly polished triangular mithril mirrors set at right angles to each
other, forming a corner of a cube. This device costs at least 1000 gp.

Pilpin's Black Death (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 120 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Pilpin

This spell conjures 250 flea-infested rats that carry the bacteria yersinia
pestis, commonly known as the black death or bubonic plague.

These rats will act as any other rat and simply scurry away. If this spell
is cast in a humanoid community, it will cause a number of humanoids to
become infected with the disease and probably die. The number of people
infected depends on the size of the community, the season, and a little bit
of chance. In the following table, the column entitled "Number Infected"
gives a number of creatures infected in the community or a percentage of
creatures infected. Use the value that gives the smallest number.

For example, if the spell was cast in a village of 200 elves in the middle
of summer, the choice 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 is
impossible). It will take 2d6 days for the creatures to become infected.

     Season      Number Infected Plague
     Winter         50 or 5%       0%
 Spring or Fall    200 or 20%      1%
     Summer        300 or 30%      3%

The final column, "Plague", gives the chance that the disease actually
reaches epidemic proportions. If this happens, 1 in 3 humanoid creatures
(33%) in a 100-mile radius will be infected by the disease. The wizard can
be infected by his own disease.

A diseased creature will lose 2 points of Constitution, 1 point of Strength
and 1 point of Dexterity per day of infection until death, which occurs when
Constitution has reached -10. The rats and disease are not magical and
therefore cannot be dispelled. A creature does not get a saving throw to
resist being infected, it's strictly by chance. The disease can be cured by
a character with healing proficiency that makes a successful proficiency
check, or by magical means. A cured creature will regain 1 point of each
ability per day.

The material components are a tiny rat skin bag containing rotting humanoid
flesh, which both disappear upon casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pilpin's Dark Wall (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 200 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: Fifty thousand square feet
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Pilpin

The spell conjures a 1 foot thick wall of black mist that causes death to
most creatures that touch it. The wall cannot be seen through, but sound or
objects will pass through it. Any living creature that touches or attempts
to pass through the wall must roll a saving throw versus death, modified
depending on their level as follows:

 Creature's Hit Dice  Saving Throw
       up to 1            None
       1 or 2              -4
       3 or 4              -3
       5 or 6              -2
       7 or 8              -1
         8+             Negates

The wall can be shaped into a rectangle, box, hemisphere, sphere, or just
one huge wall, as long as the surface area is 50,000 square feet.

The wall cannot be physically disturbed (i.e., blown away, pushed, etc.),
but parts of it can be negated by a successful dispel magic. It can be
penetrated using an anti-magic shell, or totally negated with a wish. The
material components are a crushed black pearl and a vial of gaseous death
poison.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pilpin's Ephemeral Wand (Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 24 hours
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Wand touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Pilpin

This dangerous spell turns a specially prepared wand into a magical wand for
one day. The wand can be used by anyone who knows the command word, which is
decided upon by the wizard.

The power the wand contains depends on what spell the wizard decided to
enchant the wand with. The wand can be made to cast any single spell, chosen
by the wizard, of up to fifth level that has a casting time of up to 1 round
(find familiar, strength, phantom steed, hallucinatory terrain, conjure
elemental, etc. could not be used).

The number of charges the wand contains depends on the number of times the
wizard casts the chosen spell into the ephemeral wand (obviously it cannot
have more than five charges). The wizard must have previously memorised the
appropriate spells. For example, a 16th-level wizard creates an ephemeral
wand that casts the 5th-level spell wall of iron.

If the wizard wanted to put five charges in the wand he would have to use
all five of his 5th-level spell slots to memorise five walls of iron. He
would then use all five of his wall of iron spells to give the wand five
charges. The wand cannot have different spells in it, a different wizard
cannot add charges to it, nor can it be recharged. The spell in the wand
takes as long to activate as the casting time of the spell, and the spell
performs at the experience level of its creator.

There is a 5% chance per usage that the spell cast from the ephemeral wand
backfires, the exact details depending on the spell being cast (DM's love
this kind of thing!).

The casting time for this spell is 1 turn plus 1 round per charge added.

The material component is an ivory wand, inlaid with a special gold pattern
(minimum 1000 gp in craftsmanship) and topped with a diamond worth at least
1000 gp. The wand does not disappear at the end of the spell (although it
could very well get stolen): it simply becomes non-magical.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Booster III (Alteration, Evocation/Invocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 turns per level
Casting Time: 8 turns
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

Power booster is a spell that boosts the level of the caster for spell
effects only. This version, power booster III, can boost spells of up to
seventh level. For more information and an example, see the 4th-level spell
power booster I.

The material components for this spell are rather expensive: one 8000 gp
ruby plus one freshly taken drop of blood from the caster for each booster
level, plus a single freshly ripped out hair from the casters head to be
tied completely around each ruby.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Link (Necromancy)
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn per level
Casting Time: 10
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Geoffrey Edward Fagan <gefagan@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu>

This spell creates a link between the wizard and the victim through which
magical energy can flow. Thus the wizard can cast spells centred on the
recipient, as if he were a projected image. Also, the wizard can route
malevolent spell side-effects, such as magical ageing, to the victim. The
material components of the spell are a chip of jet, an herbal tea of
spearmint and devil's dung, and a wooden disc. The recipient must be an
intelligent, living native of the wizard's home plane.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Word, Castrate (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 5 yards per two levels
Components: V
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 10-foot radius sphere
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Carnal Knowledge Guide <c/o c2mxblue@fre.fsu.umd.edu>

When this spell is cast, one or more male creatures of any type within the
spell range and area of effect are castrated. The power word castrates one
creature with 60 hit points, or it castrates two or more creatures with 10
or fewer hit points each, up to a maximum of 120 hit points. Which creature
or creatures to affect must be stated at the casting. The current hit points
of the creatures are used.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reduce Magic Resistance (Alteration, Evocation)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: Steve Bartell <stevebar@wordperfect.com>

This spell is somewhat similar to the 5th-level lower resistance in the Tome
of Magic. The advantage of reduce magic resistance is that it uses a method
that eliminates the saving throw, and also reduces saving throws versus
death magic in addition to magic resistance for the duration of the spell.
This spell was written before the Tome of Magic was released, and now my
wizard often uses lower resistance in favour of this one (once he obtained
it), but this version of the spell still has better effects - if the wizard
is willing to use an 8th-level spell.

This spell works to temporarily deteriorate the innate magic resistance of a
creature. When cast, the victim's magic resistance is reduced 3% per level
of the caster for the duration of the spell.

The victim also has a penalty to all saving throws versus death magic until
the spell expires. As an added twist, the wizard may choose to give up a
spell that he has already memorised. The saving throw penalty depends on the
spell the wizard sacrifices (for example, a 3rd-level spell sacrificed
equals -3 to saving throws). Reduce magic resistance absorbs the power of
the sacrificed spell upon casting. The caster must give up a spell.

For example: a 20th-level wizard casts reduce magic resistance at a creature
with 80% magic resistance. The wizard uses a 5th-level teleport spell he has
memorised for lowering the creature's saving throw. The wizard loses the
teleport spell from memory and the creature has a -5 penalty saving throw
versus spell and other magic. Furthermore, the creature's magic resistance
is reduced to 20%.

Remember (Enchantment/Charm)
Reversible
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 5 minutes
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: August Neverman <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

By means of this spell the wizard can cause knowledge to be temporarily
forgotten and remembered at a trigger. The trigger can be a word, event,
image or any other specific trigger device (eg., seeing the wizard again).

The reverse of this spell, disregard, causes knowledge or memory to be
forgotten at a trigger. Again, the trigger can be a word, event, image or
any other specific trigger device (eg., being captured).

The degree of effect of this spell depends the complexity of the trigger and
the complexity of the description of what is to be remembered or
disregarded. This spell is mainly used to shield from a read mind spell, and
is especially useful in creating fake personas for infiltration. The
material component for the spell is a brush.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repair (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8 rounds
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This spell is a heavy-duty version of the 1st-level mend spell. It can
repair any non-magical item, completely mend one structural point per level
of the wizard, and can fix any magic item the wizard can create.

The material component is a complete miniature tool set appropriate to the
damage to be repaired. The set must be made of the finest materials and cost
no less than 200 gp. If a magic item is being repaired, a special tool set
costing one tenth the value of the damaged item, or 2000 gp, whichever is
greater, must be used. The item must than save versus magical fire for the
spell to work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reverse Alignment (Enchantment/Charm)
Range: 180 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Peter Gourlay <gourlay@slais.ubc.ca>

This spell permanently reverses the alignment of any creature that fails a
saving throw versus death magic. Any neutral portion of an alignment will go
to one of the extremes (a 50-50 chance of either one). True neutral will
thus go to one of the extremes (lawful good, chaotic good, lawful evil, or
chaotic evil: equal chance of each one). Creatures that are not intelligent
enough to have an alignment, such as many animals, are not affected by this
spell. The only way to reverse this spell is through a restoration.
Creatures that fail their saving throw will immediately begin to act in
accordance with their new alignment, and will resist any effort to have it
reversed back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roteley's Greater Shatterwave (Evocation)
Range: 2 feet per level
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 10-foot diameter, 5-foot long cylindrical path
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Michael Karapcik <karapcik@sunburn.ec.usf.edu>

This is a more powerful, as well as earlier, version of the greater
shatterwave. Roteley designed the lesser version later to be more practical,
but is still fond of using the greater version in the laboratories of
unfriendly wizards. This version is the same as the lesser shatterwave, but
with the above and following changes. All saving throws for items are at -2;
monsters save at -1. Damage is 1d4 HP plus one hit point per 2 levels (round
up), with stunning at 10 seconds per point of damage. Skeletons and such
take 1d8 points of damage, plus one hit point per level, again with stunning
effects as above. Magic items have a +3 total on their saving throw.
Example: A 20th-level wizard casts this spell. The wave will start within 40
feet of the caster's hand, and it will follow a 100-foot long path 10 feet
wide straight out.

An owlbear struck by the wave would take 1d4+10 points of damage and be
stunned for (1d6+15)/10 rounds.

These spells were designed as large scale versions of the shatter spell
which the wizard would still have some control over (they are direction
specific). They are also useful in that the wizard need not touch the object
affected, and more than one object can be targeted.

Rune III (Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Until discharged
Casting Time: 1 turn per spell level
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This spell allows the wizard to inscribe a rune containing the energies of
one spell up to seventh level. Instructions of up to 1 word per level may be
given to control the rune. The material component is 100 gp gems and inks
per level of the spell contained in the rune.

Sarius' Ethereal Gateway (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 20 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: William T. South <tsouth@netcom.com>

This spell allows a wizard to create a 10x10 feet invisible magical gateway
which will provide access to the ethereal plane of existence, or
alternatively, provide a gateway from the ethereal plane to a connecting
plane of existence. The duration of this gateway is a base 24 hours. It must
be cast in an area of gaseous or liquid composition (i.e., not in the earth
or in solid rock), although, it may be cast so as to lay on the floor
(giving a chance of creatures falling into it) or against a wall or portal.
For every two levels above sixteenth, a wizard gains the ability to create
an additional 10x10 feet area (two if the caster is a conjurer) which must
either be used to increase the surface area of the gateway or increase the
power of the original 10x10 feet area by fusing the two gateways together.
The effects of increasing the power level of a gateway are listed in the
table below.

If a gateway is larger than 10x10 feet then all of its surface area blocks
must be increased to the same level of power to allow the gateway the next
higher power rating. For example, a 26th-level wizard creates a gateway with
dimensions of 30x10 feet and has three slots left, so he will be able to
double the surface area power rating to 2 if he so chooses. However, if he
were to use one of the remaining slots to add a 10x10 feet block to the
surface area he would have no chance of raising the power rating of the
gateway to 2. Note that if a gateway is too small for a creature to fit
through, it will not be able to totally go through the portal. It will,
however, be able to poke part of its body through and exist simultaneously
on both planes.

  Power
 Rating   Duration      Comments (Cumulative Effects)
   1        1 day         Visible on the exit side
   2       10 days         Invisible on exit side
   3      100 days   Allows magic items to keep powers*
   4      1000 days  10% more resistant to dispel magic
   5     10,000 days 20% more resistant to dispel magic
   6      Permanent  30% more resistant to dispel magic
   7      Permanent  40% more resistant to dispel magic
   8      Permanent  (each power slot adds another 10%)
* Usually, magical swords and similar items lose a plus for plane crossing.

Each additional power slot beyond a rating of 3 adds a 10% extra percentage
that this spell will resist a dispel magic. For game purposes, this is added
onto the dispeller's percentage as a penalty.

Casting time is one turn for the initial gateway area and is doubled every
time another 10x10 feet block is added onto the area (i.e., two turns for
two 10x10 feet blocks or slots, four turns for three 10x10 feet blocks or
slots, eight turns for four 10x10 feet blocks or slots, etc.). Therefore,
casting a gateway that uses 6 slots would take a total of 32 turns. If the
casting is interrupted after any slots have been created only further
creation of gateway surface areas or power slots is disrupted.

For every 6 turns the wizard spends casting this spell the wizard's
Constitution score is reduced by one point. If the wizard's Constitution
reaches 0 he becomes unconscious and only a week of complete bed rest will
allow him to start regaining lost Constitution. Otherwise, these points are
replaced at a rate of 1 point for every two days of complete bed rest. The
point is not taken unless a full 6 turns of casting has expired. Heal will
negate the unconsciousness and raise the wizard's Constitution to 1 point.
Restoration will totally negate the effects of any lost Constitution.

Gateways, once created, may not be altered by further castings of this spell
on the same area of effect. Only a successful dispel magic is capable of
destroying a gateway, although higher level power ratings can make a gateway
resistant to this spell. Power rating 1 gateways are visible to creatures on
the exit side of the gateway (usually the ethereal plane) and may attract
wandering monsters, though they will most likely not be able to pass
through. Anyone may pass through the portal on the invisible entrance side,
but only the wizard may freely take creatures back through the exit side by
touching them as they pass through. The wizard may create magical amulets
(base 500 gp value) which will allow any creature to freely use gateways
cast by him as though he were touching them. On the ethereal plane, the
wizard and anyone possessing an amulet will be able to find any portal of
the wizard in 5- 50 hours.

Any wizard familiar with this spell (i.e., either possessing the spell as a
castable spell in his spellbook, or having used a write spell to put the
spell in his spellbook) is capable of trying to force their way through the
exit side back to the entrance side by force of will. There is a base chance
of 50% modified by plus or minus 5% for every point of difference between
the wizard's current level and the level of the wizard at the time of
casting, though conjurers have a base 70% chance.

There are no material components to the spell, and the magical amulets may
be created at any time the wizard wishes, whether before or after the
casting of this spell. This spell will not work with the 8th-level
permanency spell.

Seizure (Alteration, Charm)
Range: 10 feet + 2 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per 3 levels
Casting Time: 5 rounds
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Brock Neverman <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

When cast, this spell (also known by its nickname super spasm) causes the
victim to lose complete control over all muscles in his body for the
duration of the spell. This causes the victim to "spas out": fall down and
flip around like a fish out of water. There is a quirk to this spell: any
creature not possessing a central nervous system is not affected by this
spell. In all other aspects this spell is the same as spasm. The material
component of the spell is psehaw-monkey blood.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selective Disintegration (Abjuration)
Range: 5 feet per level
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 20 cubic feet per level
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell can be used to duplicate the disintegration spell with the added
effect of making only selected parts disintegrate - if they fail their
saving throw. The selected parts can be as specific or as general as the
caster desires, but it takes additional casting time to select the specified
parts. For every ten words (don't count a and the as words) in the
specification an additional modifier is added to the casting time until a
casting time of ten is reached (at twenty words).

This is changed into a one round casting time, unless even that is not
enough to specify all different parts. If the objects to be disintegrated
are carried by a person that person gets a saving throw first. If he fails,
then the items get a saving throw versus disintegration. If the specified
objects fail, they are gone completely.

Note that this spell has a duration. This duration is the time during which
the specified objects (or creatures) can be disintegrated if they enter the
cubic area of effect. They have to make a saving throw for every round they
are in this area. Thus, this spell could be placed on a doorway to
disintegrate all living things passing through that don't display a certain
sign. If the specification can be circumvented then nothing happens. The
duration does not include those items or creatures affected by the spell:
once they are disintegrated they stay disintegrated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheath (Alteration, Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Object touched
Saving Throw: None
Author: Paul D. Walker <pdwalker@hk.super.net>

When this spell is cast, it empowers strong magics between a creature and an
item. The effect of this spell is to allow a creature to store a favoured
item into an extra-dimensional space and bring it forth at will.

The object, while it is in its space, is completely undetectable, except by
means of a wish. It will also be perfectly safe in the space where it is
held.

During the casting of the spell, two command words and a physical gesture
must be specified. The command words are those to make the item leave and
enter the "storage" space. The gesture is used with the command to bring the
object back into the owner's possession. For example, a creature would make
a sword-holding gesture while using the proper command to retrieve his
sword.

The material components for this spell is a 5000 gp of blue sapphire dust
which is sprinkled on a phase spider web. The web is then wrapped around the
object and the enchantments are completed.

This is a great way to carry around important equipment. Wizards are prone
to cast this upon their spellbooks to always keep them handy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shift Gravity Plane (Alteration, Enchantment)
Range: 100 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 round per ton of ship
Area of Effect: One ship
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell causes the gravity plane of a ship to shift by up to a maximum of
20 feet per level. This means that if a gravity plane of a ship had passed
through the keel of the ship it could now be shifted up or down (if cast by
a 16th-level caster) by up to 320 feet upward or downward. If it were pushed
upward it would cause everything to fall upward until it either strikes
another solid object above it or it falls upward until it meets the gravity
plane whereupon the thrust will be reversed and so on. If it were shifted
downwards the crew would probably not notice anything unless the gravity
plane had passed somewhere through the ship amidships. The later effect
would only cause some problems if another ship would pass close enough to
the affected ship so that their gravity planes would intersect. In that case
the larger ship would cause the ship with the lower tonnage to instantly
adjust its gravity plane to the larger ship. Thus, this effect could cause
quite some damage to either ship in combat.

This spell requires a scale made from mithril which is severely imbalanced
by having one arm made extremely thick and one arm extremely thin. This
imbalance has to be countered by applying one ancient copper coin (more than
1000 years old) to the lighter side of the scale per ton of ship to be
affected. The scale has to be large enough to contain all coins at once. The
scale itself has to cost no less than 10,000 gp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shout - Word of Sound (Alteration, Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 5-foot per level long, 30 degree wide arc
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Jim Vassilakos <jimv@ucrmath.ucr.edu>

This spell allows the wizard to shout with such intensity that a sonic field
is generated, expanding in a thirty degree radius from the wizard, doing 1d4
HP + 1 HP per level of damage to all within 5 feet per level of the wizard
in a 30 degree arc. Glass stands a 10% up to 50% chance of breaking
depending on whether it is free standing, fragile, muffled, or sturdy, and
creatures caught in the area of effect suffer deafness for 1d10 melee
rounds. Victims save versus death magic for half damage or suffer extended
deafness for 1d10 hours and are stunned for 1d4 rounds.

Note that hard surfaces (such as stone walls) caught in the area of effect
may cause the sonic field to ricochet back upon the wizard, and that
wandering monsters within 1d6x1000 feet may be attracted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sillvatar's Dragon Armour (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
Author: Allan J. Mikkola (Sillvatar) <allanm@vulcan.med.ge.com>

When this spell is cast, the wizard will be covered by a semi-real coating
of dragon scales. The type of dragon that provided the material component
determines the protection afforded by this spell: the Armour Class of the
wizard is equal to the appropriate dragon's Armour Class at age category
1d6. For example, if the material component was obtained from a green
dragon, and a 6 is rolled for the age category, the wizard would have AC -2
for the duration of this spell.

The material component for this spell is a small pouch of scales from any
type of dragon; this component is consumed when the spell is cast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smoke Cage (Alteration, Evocation)
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1d4 rounds + 1 round per level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: 20-foot radius
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This spell creates a 20-foot radius cloud of purple and black smoke up to 10
feet away per level of the wizard. The smoke is impervious to all forms of
vision. The smoke cloud is actually extradimensional, employing forces
similar to distance distortion. The internal diameter of the cloud is 100 to
150 feet; furthermore, the vapours contain a powerful misdirection spell
(saving throw at -2) which prevents those inside from wandering out. The
cloud persists for 1d4 rounds plus one round per level of the wizard, after
which it disperses. Only a strong wind will break it up prematurely.
Extradimensional devices in the cloud are unaffected.

The material component is a black pearl worth at least 500 gp and a bent
compass needle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sonic Blast [1] (Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 60-foot + 10-foot per level long, 60 degree wide arc
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Jim Vassilakos <jimv@ucrmath.ucr.edu>

By means of this spell, the wizard creates an illusory sonic blast by the
clap of his hands which is capable of deafening and stunning creatures which
fail their saving throws. Once the direction and arc are determined,
creatures nearest the wizard are affected first, each one draining the
illusory magic from the spell until its power is expired.

Creatures failing their saving throw are stunned for 1d4 rounds, however, on
a successful Intelligence check those failing the original saving throw are
able to run, but not fight. The number of creatures which may be affected is
as follows:

 Hit Dice  # Affected Hit Dice  # Affected
 up to 1      2d20     7 or 8       1d6
 up to 2      1d20     9 or 10      1d4
 up to 3      1d12    11 or 12      1d2
 up to 4      1d10    13 or 14       1
  5 or 6      1d8     15 or 16     1d2-1

This spell only has a somatic component.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spell Attack (Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 30 feet + 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell is an improvement to the shadow magic and demi-shadow magic
spells. This spell can simulate any attack spell of seventh level or lower
with quasi-real effects.

If the spells quoted in the shadow magic or demi-shadow magic spell
descriptions are chosen, they function as follows:

If the attacked beings try to disbelieve the spell, they get a saving throw
against the illusion, but no other saving throws (except magic resistance).
If they succeed, the spell still causes a minimum of 3 points per die
(reroll any one's or two's). If they fail, they take the damage like those
who did not try to disbelieve and failed their saving throw. Those who did
not try to disbelieve take the maximum damage possible by the spell if they
fail their saving throws against the normally applicable spell. If they make
their saving throws they take their usually applicable damage (reduced by
fire resistance, cold resistance, etc.).

If a spell is simulated that is not mentioned in the shadow magic or
demi-shadow magic spell descriptions, it functions as normal unless the
affected being tries to disbelieve. In that case that person has to make a
saving throw versus spell. If it succeeds, the spell causes only one hit
point per die of quasi-real damage. If it fails, that creature takes the
usual damage. Note: this spell is so high powered that it can affect even
undead who are normally immune to illusions.

The material component of this spell is the material component of the spell
to be duplicated plus a silver mirror which has tarnished over time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spellcrystal VIII (Conjuration, Invocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 8 months + 2 months per level
Casting Time: 8 rounds
Area of Effect: One crystal, worth at least 800 gp
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kris <simonis@stpc.wi.leidenuniv.nl>

Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the 1st-level wizard spell
spellcrystal I (q.v.).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Star Strike (Invocation/Evocation)
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 100 square feet per level
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell is only effective in full sunlight or its equivalent (10
continual light spells with orange-yellow light within 10 feet of each
other, one daylight spell, or one sunsword being swung). This spell causes a
brightly intensive ray of sunlight to strike down in the area of effect.
This causes damage of 6d6 fire damage. This damage is so intense, that not
even magic resistance or natural fire resistance helps against it - even if
the spell is used against a fire giant, a fire elemental, or a red dragon.
This damage may be halved by a saving throw versus spell. For undead, this
is the same effect as full sunlight (especially effective against vampires,
which take double normal damage with no saving throw in addition to the
damage they normally take in sunlight). This damage is applicable once every
round at the beginning of each round. This sunlight is so bright that anyone
looking into it is permanently blinded unless they save versus death magic.
If anybody intends to stay inside longer, they have to save once per round
if they have their eyes closed and at least three times per round with open
eyes or more if they have more than three actions per round. Undead do not
get a saving throw in this light against the blinding effect, unless they
are of the rare sort of undead that thrive and subside on sunlight.

The material component is a glass jar containing one stone of continual
light per round of duration. These are in addition of the ones described
above.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stargate (Alteration)
Range: Infinite
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: Two gates
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown

This spell creates a gate between the wizard's current location and any
location which the wizard has been before. The gate can be freely crossed in
either direction and will last one hour per level of wizard.

Range is not an issue (hence the name of the spell). Anyone can cross the
stargate, as long as it is in existence. To cast this spell, the wizard must
have some chalk, blessed by a priest, with which he must draw a star-shaped
portal on a wall. The chalk is consumed in the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stone Protection (Abjuration)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: 30 cubic yards per level
Saving Throw: None
Author: Kenneth C. Jenks <kjenks@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.gov>

This spell will protect any magical or non-magical stone in the area of
effect from the following spells: transmute rock to mud, passwall, phase
door, disintegrate, stone to flesh, animate object, earthquake, polymorph
any object, stone shape, distance distortion, and animate rock. It further
gives the stone affected a +3 on saving throws against other attack forms
(fireball, lightning bolt, cold, acid, blows, etc.).

An earth elemental can neither be conjured in the area nor enter it.

This spell will have no effect on stone golems or clay golems, but it will
prevent xorn, umber hulks, purple worms and similar creatures from burrowing
in the affected area. At the DM's option, non-standard spells, spell-like
effects (a horn of blasting, for example), and psionic abilities which
affect stone may be prevented from operating. This spell can be made
permanent by permanency with the loss of one point of Constitution from the
caster due to the use of the permanency. The material component of this
spell is a boulder of at least 400 gp weight.

This spell was researched by Whitewolf. Like freeze [2] (q.v.), this is a
pretty silly spell just for castle defense.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stuff (Alteration, Conjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V
Duration: Special
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Object or creature touched
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell is used to stuff spells into high quality items or any
individual. The components are the same as those required to cast the
stuffed spell, plus some added verbal components. Casting time is 5 rounds
plus the normal spellcasting time. About the duration: this spell
is either impact or mentally activated, to be chosen upon casting. The spell
will wear off after one month per level of the caster.

Some possible uses of this spell are: stuff a fireball in your arrow.

Stuff a stoneskin in yourself, with impact activation. If you are a
cleric/mage, stuff a heal in your moderately hurt pal (this gets the best
use out of your fighters: they can travel around with few hit points,
confident in the fact that the next blow they receive will bring them back
to their maximum). Stuff a mentally activated featherfall on anyone. Stuff a
meteor swarm in your shield (be sure to have magic resistance though).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summon Wraith (Conjuration/Summoning, Necromancy)
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round + 1 round per level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 10 foot high cube
Saving Throw: None
Author: Geoffrey Edward Fagan <gefagan@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu>

This spell is identical to the 1th-level summon shadow, except that it
conjures up one wraith for every three levels the wizard has attained.

These monsters are under the control of the wizard until they are slain or
the spell expires. If the wraiths are turned, they continue to serve in any
capacity which does not require them to confront the priest who resisted
them. The material component of this spell is a piece of black jet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunball (Evocation)
Range: 10 yards + 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 20-foot radius
Saving Throw: 1/2
Author: Max Becherer <becherer@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu>

This powerful spell superficially resembles a fireball; instead of fire,
however, the ball consists of solar radiance. All within the area of effect
suffer 1d10 HP of damage per level of the wizard. Undead and similar
creatures suffer double damage. Creatures specifically harmed by sunlight
save versus death magic or are slain instantly. If the saving throw is made,
they suffer the effects of 1 turn of full sunlight per level of the wizard.

The material component is a golden sun symbol with a large topaz set in the
centre. The symbol costs 2000 gp to make and is lost in the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Target (Alteration, Invocation/Evocation)
Range: Sight
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Jonathan Filter <2186filterj@vmsf.csd.mu.edu>

This spell is of short time duration because it is cast in tangent with any
other spell that the wizard has memorised. The target is cast first; as
stated above, the spell takes 18 seconds to cast. During this time, the
wizard must take the material component of the spell (an ordinary arrow) and
point it at one or more persons or items. The number of persons or items
that may be pointed to is limited to twice the caster's Dexterity (this
would allow a normal person to point at 4 persons or items every 3 seconds).
For each item pointed to, the caster takes 1 point of damage. At the end of
these 18 seconds, the arrow disappears and each person or item pointed to
begins to glow as if enchanted with faerie fire. At this point, anti-magic
shells, magic resistance, etc. are checked (with magic resistance at half
normal). Anyone who is glowing at this point is left very vulnerable.

Now, the wizard casts any spell that can be cast on or cast at someone or
something else (in the same round). Upon completing the spell, everyone or
everything which is glowing receives the effect of the spell. The caster
also takes the level of the second spell in points of damage. The targets
get to make their saving throws (if allowed) at this point. If the second
spell was a touch spell, the targets may add their Dexterity bonus to their
saving throw (if no saving throw was granted on that touch spell, the
targets get one versus death magic with a successful saving throw indicating
only half of the spell effects worked). Range 0 spells are not able to be
cast in conjunction with target.

The advantages of this spell are obvious. For example, in the first round of
an attack where the party is hopelessly overwhelmed, a wizard may be able to
cast target and give his entire party improved invisibility, thus allowing
escape or a shift in the balance of the fight. A second example: there are
two blue dragons bearing down on the party. They are flying close enough
that one fireball could encompass both, but the caster does not believe one
fireball will do it. So he targets them both and each is crisped by 2
fireballs (1 centred on each).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teleport Block (Abjuration)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: One thousand cubic feet per level
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Geoffrey Edward Fagan <gefagan@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu>

This spell prevents teleportation into or out of the region specified by the
wizard, which may be of any shape and any size, up to 1000 cubic feet per
level of the abjurer. No character can enter or leave the region by means of
dimension door, teleport, or other-planar travel.

Teleportation within the region is not restricted, and teleport without
error has a chance of success equal to 1% per level of the wizard, though it
has the same chance of failure as a regular teleport attempted under normal
conditions. A wish will also provide transportation across the boundary, as
of course will walking, riding, and flying.

Any attempt to teleport or dimension door across the block will
automatically fail; all memory of the spell will be lost; and the wizard
must make a system shock check or be killed by the shock of the rebound.

Attempts at transplanar travel will also fail, but not in so dramatic a
fashion. The material component is a glass globe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teleport Warp (Alteration)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 10-yard per level radius globe
Saving Throw: None
Author: Unknown

This spell causes all creatures teleporting into or out of the area of
effect to arrive in a prepared area. The area which the wizard wishes the
affected creatures to appear in must also be in the area of effect.

The space the wizard wishes incoming teleportees to arrive at must be an
open area, free from objects. It can be in the air, however, causing
incoming creatures to fall. Should a creature teleporting into an area
affected by this spell be larger than the area he would be sent to, then he
is effectively blocked and would not be able to teleport at all to the area.

An example: the archmage Istle casts teleport warp on his tower. He wishes
all people who unexpectedly arrive to be placed in his dungeon cell which is
10x10x10 feet. The cell is also in the area of effect, at the bottom of his
tower, which totally is under the spell. Thus a person who teleports to his
tower will arrive in a dungeon cell instead of the wizards guest chambers.
If Golstein the Chaotic decides to send his 18 foot tall iron golem over to
Istle's bed chamber, he will find the golem still there, unmoved.

All forms of teleport magic are affected, thus dimension door, pattern
teleports, and the like also would be warped. This is a great spell for the
wizard wishing to block an area for outside aid coming in short of all
planar travel.

The material component is a lodestone which must be placed in the location
the wizard wishes teleportees to arrive. It is consumed upon casting.

Tempus Fugit (Alteration, Enchantment/Charm, Illusion)
Reversible
Range: 10 feet per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn of real time per level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: 100 square feet per level
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

Some of you might remember this spell from the first edition Unearthed
Arcana book. It is almost the same spell with the exceptions noted above and
below. For those of you who don't know it, a short description first: this
spell causes a distortion of time in the minds of the characters, so that
any character in the area of effect ages 6 times as fast but he also regains
hit points 6 times as fast and he also rests 6 times as fast: for a
character in the area of effect, ten minutes of real time pass whereas he
perceives a full hour to pass. This spell works for spell casters to rest
normally during its duration. Thus, two real hours of sleep would equal 12
hours of sleep in the area of effect.

The casting time is actually a lot shorter, but it takes the full 10 rounds
of casting time for the organism to change to the high-speed effect of the
normal tempus fugit version.

As combat normally requires concentration on the outside this spell is no
good for combat purposes. It is also not possible to use it in the middle of
combat unless the targets of this spell normally are to concentrated on the
outside so they immediately penetrate the illusion and cause it to vanish
for themselves. It is thus also not possible to have someone sit as a guard
during the effect inside the area of effect as he or it is supposed to
purposefully watch the surrounding world (in short, this spell cannot be
used during or in the preparation for combat).

The reversed version, speude bradeoos, takes effect immediately but it has
the full casting time of one turn. It is not possible to cast spells from
the inside to the outside in a high speed effect as in that case the caster
would have to concentrate on the outside world. As the illusion is a rather
feeble one in respect to penetrating it, this causes the illusion to vanish
instantly for the person concentrating on the outside of the area of effect.
When under the influence of the reverse, a full hour would be perceived as
being only ten minutes, etc.

In this version, characters that have been under the effect of this spell
need a full ten minutes to recover from the effects, as their reactions are
so greatly slowed. This version you can use in combat (but note the casting
time).

Both spells are cumulative with each other up to a maximum of one spell per
5 levels of the caster and both spells can be affected by permanency. It is
not possible to layer several spells from different casters over the same
area.

The material component for the normal spell is sand from an hourglass which
has been used for more than one year without ever having stood still for
longer than a six seconds. The reversed spell needs the sand from an
hourglass that has not been touched for over six years.

Note: this spell affects only an area. Thus, it does not move with the
caster. The area has to be solid ground (of at least one foot thick), thus
not every little carpet could be used, but if you could get solid ground to
move, well, you could have some permanent and cumulative spell recuperation
zones that could be moved...

Transformed Item Functionality (Alteration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Kai Rottenbacher <c/o uwagner@orville.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

This spell alleviates the undesired effect of being unable to use one's own
magic items after changing one's shape by polymorph, (druidic) shapechange,
etc. This spell makes all those items available for use to the transformed
creature even if the items are incorporated into the body - but be logical
in what you intend to do (say, for example you shapechanged into a flea,
then you obviously could not use your quarterstaff, +3 to any effect (as it
is too small) but the ring of protection, +3 and the ring of fire resistance
you are now wearing somewhere in your body still function normally). Items
which release magical energy can still be used normally unless they require
the item to be touched to a target other than the releaser (you couldn't,
for example, use your potion of healing on a friend while being in flea form
but you could use it on yourself - with normal initiative modifiers).

Obviously, it would not be possible to use a long bow while being
transformed (unless you had shapechanged into a creature which could use a
longbow so you would probably also have no need of this spell then).

Spell-like effects somehow leave the body of the transformed creature (maybe
giving rise to some new legendary monster stories like the horribly mutated
lightning bolt spitting, regenerating killer flea) if they have a range
greater than touch, personal, or zero. If the creature is killed, all items
have to save versus disintegration or be destroyed by the residual magic.

The material components are one small figure per item incorporated into the
body, carved from granite picturing the original creature. These figures
then have to be stoneshaped into a form which creates an interconnecting
form in which all the figures are somehow linked with each other. Thus, it
is not possible to pick up additional items unless the caster has provided
surplus figures in the casting. Up to a maximum of one item per figure can
be incorporated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twin (Evocation)
Range: 0
Components: V, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 20 rounds
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Brock Neverman <gitzlaff@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu>

This spell causes a creature to appear. This creature is physical, looks
exactly like the wizard, but has no personality: it is actually only a
channel through which the wizard can operate. The twin has only a fraction
of the hit points of the wizard:

 D6 Roll   Hit Points
 1 or 2   40% of wizard
 3 or 4   50% of wizard
 5 or 6   60% of wizard

This spell does not create possessions for this creature. The wizard will
wholly operate through this twin and therefore will need items for this
twin.

While the spell is in effect the wizard's body is effectively unconscious.
If the wizard specifically concentrates he can partially sense the area
around the real body. If the twin is destroyed the wizard and any familiars
automatically will lose half their hit points.

Furthermore the wizard will be unable to cast spells for 1d6 days.

The material component for this spell is a mirror.

Tyvek's Forceplate (Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 day
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: One shield
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell temporarily (and rather destructively) transforms a complete suit
of plate mail into a magical plate mail with one plus per 4 caster levels.
The caster can "wear" this plate mail mentally, still allowing him to use
his hands to cast spells: the magical plate has mass nor weight, and it does
not prevent magic use. It affects Armour Class as any other plate mail; when
the duration ends the plate mail vanishes forever (as does the real one,
which is the material component).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyvek's Immortal Words (Enchantment)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell allows the caster to carve words onto almost any surface. The
components are the words to be written, a mithril chisel of dwarven make,
and dragon spittle. These words are permanent on the surface for 7000 years.
If said stone is destroyed, the words will appear as flaming letters at
night time. If an abode is built to obstruct their original view, they will
begin to destroy the home, using earthquake once a year at a random time.
Tyvek plans to use this spell to retaliate on his friends on his deathbed.
Dispel magic will not affect this spell, though a wish spell has a 70%
chance of working.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyvek's Tectonic Entity (Conjuration, Enchantment)
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour per level
Casting Time: 1 day per level
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell requires a diamond vial with elemental air contained within.

Using this spell traps an elemental spirit within a humanoid construct.

It behaves as a half Hit Dice stone golem for combat purpose.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Undead Conduit (Alteration, Necromancy)
Range: 1 mile per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: One undead and one creature
Saving Throw: Negates
Author: The Warlord of Heaven <fsmtw1@alaska.bitnet>

This spell allows a necromancer to link the life of a living being to an
undead creature. The undead can now draw on the hit points of the victim for
combat purposes. The victim suffers the injuries that the undead normally
would. This of course makes taking prisoners much more useful.

There is a limit of one linked victim per undead. The link is broken by a
dispel magic or when the affected living creature dies. The material
component of this spell is an iron claw.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vandergast's Vacuous Void (Alteration)
Range: 10 yards per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 5-foot per level radius sphere
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Vandergast

This spell creates a momentary vacuum inside the area of effect. Anyone
caught inside this area must save versus spell to avoid the crushing effects
of the vacuum. If the saving throw fails, the victim suffers 8d8 points of
crushing damage; all possessions must save versus crushing blow at -4 or be
destroyed. Anyone who dies outright from this spell has more than likely
(65%) been torn asunder from the pressure differential.

Note that this may make regeneration difficult, if not impossible. If the
saving throw is successful, the target suffers 4d8 points of damage, and
possessions are not affected.

The material components for this spell is an empty vial of which the stopper
is removed and which is broken at the time of the casting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisper's Acid Pool (Alteration)
Range: 60 yards + 10 yards per level
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round per 2 levels
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 10-yard per level square
Saving Throw: None
Author: Robert Johan Enters <whisper@wpi.edu>

When this spell is cast, an area as specified by the caster within stated
limits, will transform into a four feet deep pool of acid.

Movement in this pool is reduced to 1/3. As long as creatures are in this
pool they receive acid damage, dependant on exposure. The damage while
upright or wading is 2d6 per round, and that of those who are lying in it,
or attempt to swim to the sides (might be faster) 2d10 per round. At the end
of the spell, the acid drains away, but the trench or pool remains a
depression. For this spell to have effect, the area or volume must exist for
the pool to form in. This is a great spell to stop those pesky townspeople
from following you in pursuit after you burned down half their city in some
sorcerous fight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisper's Chaos Elemental Summoning (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 60 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 turn per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Robert Johan Enters <whisper@wpi.edu>

This powerful summoning spell opens a gate to Limbo, from which 1d4 chaos
elementals are called forth. Chaos elementals are not strictly speaking
elementals, they are the embodiment of a multitude of chaotic souls. The
elementals appear as fleshy mounds with human features interspersed all over
their bodies (think of Freddie in some of the later movies, pinhead before
released from the statue in Hellraiser III etc.). The chaos elementals have
6d6 HD, and do damage for 1 HP per Hit Die when attacking. They have an
Armour Class of 0, and move at MV 12 (for more on chaos elementals see the
Manual of the Planes, Features of Limbo).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisper's Dicey Healing Gate (Necromancy)
Range: 20 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: Special
Author: Robert Johan Enters <whisper@wpi.edu>

This powerful spell opens a small gate to the positive material plane inside
the target creature. If the creature wishes, he could attempt to resist the
spell by successfully making a saving throw versus spell, in which case the
opening of the gate fails. The caster must upon casting the spell decide for
how long the gate should remain open. The caster can attempt to maintain the
gate for up to 1 round per three caster levels. However, such a gate is not
completely stable, and the actual effect will be 1 to 2 rounds longer or
shorter (roll 1d4: 1 = 2 rounds less, 2 = 1 round less, 3 = 1 round longer,
4 = 2 rounds longer). The effect of such a concentrated gate inside the
target's body is the following. The positive radiance will add 2d10 HP to
the creature per round of exposure. However, if the total amount of hit
points is exceeded (the creature is fully healed, but the gate remains in
effect), the hit points will temporarily be added, but with the cumulative
chance of 20% per round of "overloading" that the creature's body receives a
surge of radiance, causing the body to explode. If the body explodes in this
manner, there is no way to bring the creature back to life.

If hit points are gained beyond maximum, without exploding, those hit points
will remain for 20 rounds and then recede by one point per round until
regular maximum hit points are reached. An exploding body will not hurt
bystanders, other than bowling them over, and thus maybe causing 1d6 HP
falling damage or something like that, but it will definitely smear the area
around the exploded creature with the creature's blood and itty bitty
pieces. This spell should only be used in dire emergencies, or can be used
as an attack spell on an as yet unharmed creature.

Only living creatures are affected by the healing process. If the spell is
utilized on undead, the effects will be spectacular. The undead will be
allowed a saving throw, but if the saving throw fails, it will explode in a
brilliant explosion, shattering the physical body, if any is possessed, into
tiny shards, and causing the psyche to be utterly annihilated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisper's Instant Einheriar Legions (Conjuration/Summoning)
Range: 60 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 turn per level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
Author: Robert Johan Enters <whisper@wpi.edu>

This fun spell summons a legion of einheriar, or spirit soldiers. The spell
will summon forth 10d10 spirit soldiers. The troops will be pulled from a
plane that corresponds to the caster's alignment, and the power who has
these troops pulled away from his domain may not look too kindly upon this
act. The use of the troops should be in accordance with the tenets of the
caster's alignment, or there is a 10% cumulative chance per casting of this
spell that the power supplying the troops sends them to fight against you
rather than for you. The powers and equipment of the individual spirit
troops are determined as per the rules in the Manual of the Planes, page
122.

It should be noted that the use of this spell can have a very powerful
impact if a large amount of nasty classes with high levels are summoned.

Since the soldiers can be highly intelligent, this force could easily wipe
out an entire army if used wisely.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whisper's Rune of Protection versus Spells (Abjuration)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 5 turns
Area of Effect: One creature
Saving Throw: None
Author: Robert Johan Enters <whisper@wpi.edu>

This spell brings into being a triad of yellow glowing runes on the target
creature. The runes bestow upon the bearer the benefit of a globe of
invulnerability. For more information on runes, see Whisper's rune of
protection versus weapons.
