Spells

Complete Divine

Blessing of Bahamut

Abjuration [Good]

Your skin takes on a platinum sheen that protects you from the weapons of your enemies. You gain damage reduction of 10/magic for the spell’s duration.

Dance of the Unicorn

Abjuration

You surround yourself with a purifying, swirling mist with a radius of 5 feet per caster level that washes the air clean of smoke dust, and poisons. Nonmagical contaminants, including inhaled poisons, are automatically negated within the cloud.

Magical effects, including acid fog, cloudkill, and green dragon breath, are negated only if your level is greater than the offending spell’s caster level (or the dragon’s HD). If your level is lower than the caster level, the dance of the unicorn grants everyone within the mist a +4 bonus on their saving throws against the effect.

The cloud of mist leaves everything within its area damp.

Resurgence

Abjuration

By laying hands on a creature and saying a brief prayer, you can convince a higher power to grant a second chance to one of your allies.

The target of resurgence can make a second attempt to save against an ongoing spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability, such as dominate person, a chaos beast’s corporeal instability, or the sickening effect (but not the damage) from unholy blight. If the target of resurgence is subject to more than one ongoing magic effect, the target chooses one of them to retry the save against.

If the subject succeeds at the saving throw on the second attempt, the effect ends immediately.

Resurgence never restores hit points or ability score damage, but it does eliminate any conditions such as shaken, fatigued, or nauseated that were caused by the spell, spell- like ability, or supernatural ability.

If a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability doesn’t allow a save (such as power word stun), then resurgence won’t help the subject recover.

Resurgence, Mass

Abjuration

This spell functions like resurgence, except that it affects multiple creatures.

The spell grants a second save attempt against a single spell or ability chosen by the caster.

If three of the your allies have been mind blasted by mind flayers and two others have been turned into toads by baleful polymorph spells, you must choose either the mind blast (granting three new save attempts) or the baleful polymorphs (granting two new save attempts).

Sacred Haven

Abjuration [Good]

You shield one creature in a nimbus of holy energy. The creature gains a +2 sacred bonus to Armor Class. In addition, while protected by this spell, the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class when flat- footed.

For the duration of the spell, you gain awareness of the creature’s health as with the status spell, and you need not be able to touch the affected creature to heal it with your lay on hands ability. Use of the lay on hands ability still requires a standard action, but it can be done at any range.

Spell Resistance, Mass

Abjuration

Each targeted creature gains spell resistance equal to 12 + caster level. Divide the duration evenly among all the creatures you target.

In order to affect a creature who has spell resistance with a spell, a spellcaster must roll the creature’s spell resistance or higher on 1d20 + caster level. A creature with spell resistance may, as a standard action, voluntarily lower it in order to accept a spell.

Storm Tower

Abjuration

You form a tower of dark, swirling storm clouds that negates many forms of magic. The storm tower absorbs any electricity damage inflicted to those within it. Magic missiles cannot be cast into, out of, or within the storm tower.

The storm tower is composed of 60 mph winds (making ranged attacks impossible within the tower), though it has no effect on the movement of creatures within it. However, only Gargantuan or Colossal creatures can pass through the outer edge of the storm tower; all creatures of lesser size must stop any movement at the edge.

Anyone within the storm tower has one-half concealment relative to those outside the tower. The howling winds of the storm tower also apply a –10 penalty on all Listen checks within 50 feet of it (including all those inside).

Unbinding

Abjuration

When you cast an unbinding spell, a burst of force erupts from your body and magically destroys any spells that contain, constrain, or seal, with the exceptions noted below.

The unbinding negates charm and hold spells of all types, arcane locks and similar closures, spells that create physical or magical barriers (wall of stone, wall of force), guards and wards, temporal stasis, and slow spells, among others.

The effect of a statue spell is ended. A magic jar is shattered—forever destroyed—and the life force within snuffed out.

In addition, any spell that holds magical effects, including other spells, immediately releases them at a range of 0 feet (including magic mouth, imbue with spell ability, and so on). Protective spells such as protection from evil, shield, globe of invulnerability, and similar spells are not affected by an unbinding.

Petrified creatures are neither revealed nor restored. Individuals bound to service are not freed (including creatures such as familiars, invisible stalkers, genies, and elementals). An antimagic field is not affected, nor does the effect of unbinding penetrate one. A magic circle against evil (or another alignment) that currently holds a creature imprisoned is dispelled. Curses and geas/quest spells are negated only if the caster is of a level equal to or greater than that of the original caster.

All these effects occur without regard to the caster’s wishes. Spell effects on the person of the caster or being carried or worn by the caster remain undisturbed, but any others within the burst are effective, including those of allies. The opening of locks or other closures triggers any alarms or traps attached to them.

Any released creature may or may not be friendly to the caster.

Material Components: A lodestone and a pinch of saltpeter.

Zeal

Abjuration

You invoke a divine shield to protect you as you close with a chosen opponent.

Choose a foe as you cast this spell. You gain a +4 deflection bonus to your AC against all attacks of opportunity from opponents other than the chosen foe. Also, you can move through enemies as if they were allies for the duration of this spell, as long as you finish your movement closer to your chosen foe than when you began it.

Beget Bogun

Conjuration (Creation)

Beget bogun allows you to infuse living magic into a small mannequin that you have created from vegetable matter. This is the final spell in the process of creating a bogun. See the bogun’s description for further details.

Bottle of Smoke

Conjuration (Creation)

You use a fire source to create a plume of smoke that you capture in a special bottle you’re holding. If the bottle is thereafter opened before the spell duration expires, the smoke emerges to form a vaguely horselike creature made of wisps of smoke. It makes no sound, and anything that touches it simply passes through it.

To mount this smoke horse, the would-be rider must make a successful Ride check (DC 10) while holding the bottle in one hand. Anyone attempting to mount without the bottle simply passes through the horse’s form. Letting go of the bottle after mounting causes the rider to fall through the horse’s smoky form; he or she cannot thereafter remount without the intact bottle in hand. If the bottle is broken, the spell ends immediately and the rider (if mounted) falls to the ground.

The smoke horse has a speed of 20 feet per caster level, to a maximum of 240 feet. It can send smoke billowing out behind it at the rider’s behest, leaving behind a bank of smoke 5 feet wide and 20 feet high as it moves. A wind that is at least severe (31+ mph), or magical wind of any kind, disperses the horse (and any smoke it has produced) instantly. Otherwise, the bank of smoke lasts 10 minutes, starting on the turn it was laid down. Starting or stopping the smoke trail is a free action. The mount and the smoke trail it produces give one-half concealment (20% miss chance) to anyone behind them.

The mount is immune to all damage and other attacks because material objects and spells simply pass through it. It cannot attack.

The rider can return the smoke horse to the bottle, and thus pause the spell, at any time by simply uncorking it (a move- equivalent action) and stoppering it again (another move- equivalent action) in the next round after the horse is inside. If the bottle is reopened later, the spell reactivates with its remaining duration intact. Regardless of how much duration remains unused, the spell ceases functioning 24 hours after it is cast.

If dispelled at any time while the bottle is corked, the spell ends.

Focus: An ornate, corked bottle worth at least 50 gp.

Cometfall

Conjuration (Creation)

You conjure a bright, glowing comet, which appears in midair above your enemies, then strikes the ground with tremendous force. The comet appears 5 feet per caster level above the ground or at the ceiling, whichever is lower. The comet immediately falls, dealing 2d6 points of damage per 10 feet fallen to everything in the 10-foot-square area directly below it.

The force of the comet can also knock creatures prone. Creatures who failed their Reflex save are subject to a trip attempt. The comet has a +11 bonus (+7 for effective Strength of 25 and +4 for being Large) on the trip check.

The comet breaks apart on impact, filling the 10-foot square area with dense rubble (as described on page 90 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Deific Vengeance

Conjuration (Summoning)

When you cast this spell, you call out to a deity, listing the crimes of your target and urging the deity to punish the miscreant. (The target’s alignment is irrelevant to the success of the spell).

The divine power of the angry deity imposes this punishment in the form of a sharp, spiritual blow to the target. This attack hits automatically and deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6), or 1d6 points per caster level (maximum 10d6) if the target is undead.

A successful Will saving throw reduces the damage by half.

Golden Barding

Conjuration (Creation) [Force]

You conjure forth a glowing, golden suit of barding for your special mount. The golden barding you create has no armor check penalty and has no effect on your mount’s speed. The exact nature of the barding depends on your caster level.

2nd–3rd: Scale mail barding (+4 armor bonus).

4th–5th: Chainmail barding (+5 armor bonus).

6th–7th: Splint mail barding (+6 armor bonus).

8th–9th: Half-plate barding (+7 armor bonus).

10th+: Full plate barding (+8 armor bonus).

Because golden barding is made of force, incorporeal creatures can’t bypass it the way they do normal armor.

Maelstrom

Conjuration (Creation)

Maelstrom causes a deadly vortex to form in water. A body of water at least 120 feet wide and 60 feet deep must be present, or the spell is wasted.

Waterborne creatures or objects within 50 feet of the vortex (below and on all sides) must make successful Reflex saves or be sucked in. Trained swimmers can attempt Swim checks instead if their skill modifier is higher than their Reflex save bonus. Waterborne vessels avoid being sucked in if their operators make Profession (sailor) checks against the same DC as the spell’s saving throw.

These creatures and objects take 3d8 points of damage upon being sucked in. Once inside, creatures and objects take 3d8 points of bludgeoning damage each round. They remain trapped for 2d4 rounds.

Subjects of Large or smaller size are ejected from the bottom of the vortex. Larger subjects are ejected from the top.

Obedient Avalanche

Conjuration (Creation) [Cold]

You summon an avalanche of snow out of a rift in midair, burying your foes and sending them to a frosty death. The obedient avalanche affects creatures differently, depending on where they are in relation to the avalanche.

Within 20 feet of the Center Point: Creatures take 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d8) and an additional 1d6 points of cold damage per two caster levels. Creatures who fail their saves are also buried (as described in Avalanches, page 90 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

All squares within 20 feet of the center point are covered in heavy snow (see page 94 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide), which persists as long as ordinary snow would.

Between 20 feet and 40 feet of the Center Point: Creatures take half as much damage from the impact of the avalanche as the creatures nearer the center point took (Reflex save negates).

Creatures who fail their saves must also resist the force of the snow moving past them as if they were being bull rushed. The snow has a +13 bonus (+5 for effective Strength of 20 and +8 for effectively being Huge) on the bull rush check, and it pushes characters away from the center point of the spell.

All squares in the 20-foot to 40-foot ring are covered in light snow, which persists as long as ordinary snow would. Terrain and Structures: The avalanche uproots small trees and other vegetation automatically, and it leaves a trail of light rubble (as described on page 91 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide) even after the snow melts.

Structures struck by an obedient avalanche take 1d6×10 points of damage. The obedient avalanche extinguishes all flames, whether normal or magical, it touches.

Otyugh Swarm

Conjuration (Creation)

Otyugh swarm creates otyughs from a large collection of refuse and filth, such as a sewer or cesspool. You can choose to create 3d4 ordinary otyughs or 1d3+1 Huge otyughs with 15 HD.

The otyughs willingly aid you in combat or battle, perform a specific mission, or serve as bodyguards. They remain with you for seven days unless you dismiss them.

If the otyughs are created only for guard duty, the duration of the spell is seven months. In this case, the otyughs can only be ordered to guard a specific site or location. Otyughs summoned to guard duty cannot move outside the spell’s range.

You must create the otyughs in an area containing at least 6,000 pounds of sewage, refuse, or offal. After you cast the spell, otyughs not summoned for guard duty may leave the area of offal at your command.

Pavilion of Grandeur

Conjuration (Creation)

You conjure up a grand pavilion-sized tent that has a single entrance on the plane from which the spell was cast. The entry point looks like a faint shimmering in the air that is 10 feet wide by 15 feet high. Only those you designate may enter the pavilion, and the entrance is shut and made invisible behind you when you enter. You may open it again from your own side at will.

Once observers have passed beyond the entrance, they are in a spacious tent decorated in the colors of your faith. The lighting can vary between darkness and daylight, and the temperature between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, at your discretion when casting the spell.

The pavilion is sumptuously furnished, including a full meal for a dozen people per caster level. Anyone who spends one full hour dining here gains benefits identical to those of a heroes’ feast.

While in the pavilion, creatures heal naturally at double the normal rate (not including fast healing or regeneration).

Phantom Bear

Conjuration (Summoning)

As phantom wolf, except you instead conjure an incorporeal bear with a fearsome roar.

Phantom Bear: Huge magical beast (incorporeal); HD 14d10+48; hp 113; Init +9; Spd fly 60 ft. (good); AC 25, touch 25, flat-footed 16; Base Atk +14; Grp—; Atk +23 melee touch (2d6 plus 3d6 cold, claw); Full Atk +23 melee touch (2d6 plus 3d6 cold, 2 claws) and +21 melee (2d8 plus 3d6 cold, bite); SA fearsome roar; SQ darkvision 60 ft., incorporeal traits; AL N; SV Fort +13, Ref +17, Will +7; Str —, Dex 29, Con 20, Int 11, Wis 17, Cha 28.

Skills and Feats: Listen +20, Spot +20; Dodge, Combat Reflexes, Mobility, Multiattack, Weapon Focus (bite).

Fearsome Roar: A phantom bear can loose a fearsome roar every 1d4 rounds. All creatures except the caster of the phantom bear spell within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 26 Will save or be frightened for 3d6 rounds. Those who are within 30 feet when they fail their saves are panicked instead of frightened.

Incorporeal Traits: A phantom bear is harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. It has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source, except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch weapons. It can pass through solid objects, but not force effects, at will.

Its attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally against them. An incorporeal creature always moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn’t wish to be.

Phantom Stag

Conjuration (Creation)

You conjure a Large, corporeal staglike creature that bears you or a person you designate into combat or overland at great speed. A phantom stag has a black body and head with sharp, silvery antlers, and smoke-colored, insubstantial hooves that make no sound. It has no saddle, bridle, or bit, but it is exceptionally alert to the nudges and balance changes of its rider.

The phantom stag has an AC of 20 (–1 size, +6 natural armor, +5 Dex) and 40 hit points +5 hit points per caster level. It attacks with its antlers at a +10 bonus, dealing 1d8+9 points of damage (doubled on a successful charge).

It can also trample Medium or smaller foes, who must succeed on a Reflex save or take 1d6+9 points of damage as the stag moves through their space.

A phantom stag has a speed of 20 feet per caster level, to a maximum of 300 feet. It can bear its rider’s weight plus up to 10 pounds per caster level. It ignores terrain elements such as undergrowth, rubble, or mud that would slow its movement.

Phantom stags gain certain powers according to caster level. A mount’s abilities include those of mounts of lower caster levels. Thus, a mount created by a 16th-level caster has the 12th and 14th caster level abilities as well.

12th level: The phantom stag can use air walk at will (as the spell, no action required to activate this ability) for up to 1 round at a time, after which it falls to the ground. The phantom stag gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC.

14th level: The phantom stag can fly at its speed (average maneuverability). The phantom stag gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC.

16th level: The phantom stag’s antlers have the wounding and ghost touch weapon qualities. The phantom stag gains a +6 deflection bonus to AC.

18th level: The phantom stag can use etherealness on behalf of its rider (as the spell, caster level 18th). The phantom stag gains a +8 deflection bonus to AC.

Phantom Wolf

Conjuration (Summoning)

You conjure forth an incorporeal white wolf with abnormally large, frosty jaws. This phantom wolf follows your mental commands, acting on your behalf as long as it remains within range and you continue to concentrate on it. The phantom wolf appears where you designate and acts as you direct on your turn. You don’t need to maintain line of effect once the spell is cast, but the spell ends if the phantom wolf is ever outside the spell’s range.

Phantom Wolf: Large magical beast (incorporeal); HD 12d10+48; hp 113; Init +9; Spd fly 60 ft. (good); AC 25, touch 25, flat-footed 16; Base Atk +12; Grp—; Atk +21 melee touch (2d6 plus 3d6 cold, bite); Full Atk +22 melee touch (2d6 plus 3d6 cold, bite); SA frightful presence; SQ darkvision 60 ft., incorporeal traits; AL N; SV Fort +12, Ref +17, Will +7; Str—, Dex 29, Con 18, Int 11, Wis 17, Cha 26.

Skills and Feats: Listen +20, Spot +20; Alertness, Dodge, Combat Reflexes, Mobility, Weapon Focus (bite).

Frightful Presence: Creatures of less than 12 HD within 30 feet of an attacking phantom wolf must succeed on a DC 24 Will save or be frightened for 3d6 rounds. An opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to that same phantom wolf’s frightful presence for 24 hours.

Incorporeal Traits: A phantom wolf is harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. It has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source, except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch weapons. It can pass through solid objects, but not force effects, at will.

Its attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally against them. An incorporeal creature always moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn’t wish to be.

Plague of Rats

Conjuration (Summoning)

A swarm of dire rats viciously attacks all other creatures within a 20-foot spread, inflicting damage and spreading filth fever (see page 292 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

A creature in the swarm that takes no action other than fighting off the rats takes 1d4 points of damage on its turn and makes a Fortitude saving throw against DC 15 + your Intelligence bonus to avoid contracting filth fever.

A creature in the swarm who takes any other action, including leaving the swarm, takes 1d4 points of damage per caster level, and must save at a –4 penalty to avoid contracting the disease.

Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the swarm is impossible.

The rats’ attacks are nonmagical, so being incorporeal, damage reduction, and other defenses can protect a creature from damage.

The disease effect is magical and spreads by touch. Any corporeal creature in the swarm that is subject to disease may contract it.

The swarm cannot be fought effectively with weapons, but fire and damaging area effects can force it to disperse. The swarm disperses when it has taken a total of 8 points of damage per caster level from these attacks. A stinking cloud spell and similar area spells disperse a swarm immediately.

As a move-equivalent action, you can direct the swarm to move up to 40 feet per round.

Poison Vines

Conjuration (Creation)

As vine mine, but the vines you create are poisonous (contact, 1d6 Dex/2d6 Dex). A successful Fortitude save is required only upon the first entry into the spell’s area (and again 1 minute later); creatures don’t have to save each time they enter (or each round they remain within).

You are immune to the poison of the vines you create, and you can select a number of other targets equal to your level to share this immunity.

Quill Blast

Conjuration (Creation)

Needle-sharp quills emerge from your skin as you cast this spell, then fly outward in every direction when you complete the spell.

Creatures within the spread of a quill blast are hit by one or more quills, depending on their size:

Creatures who make their saves are struck by half as many quills; Tiny or smaller creatures avoid the quills completely. Each quill inflicts 1d6 points of piercing damage and lodges itself in the flesh of any living creature it hits. Lodged quills impose a –1 penalty on attacks, saves, and checks per quill.

A quill can be removed safely as a standard action with a DC 20 Heal check. Otherwise, removing a quill deals an extra 1d6 points of damage.

Recitation

Conjuration (Creation)

By reciting a sacred passage or declaration, you invoke your deity’s blessing upon yourself and your allies while causing confusion and weakness among your enemies. The spell affects all allies and foes within the spell’s area at the moment you cast it.

Your allies gain a +2 luck bonus on attack rolls and saving throws, or a +3 luck bonus if they worship the same patron deity as you.

Enemies suffer a –2 luck penalty on attack rolls and saving throws. After casting the spell, you are free to take further actions during the spell’s duration as you see fit. Divine

Focus: In addition to your holy symbol, this spell requires a sacred text as a divine focus.

Rejuvenation Cocoon

Conjuration (Healing)

With this spell, you create a temporary cocoon of energy around a creature you touch that provides healing and a measure of protection.

When you cast the spell, the cocoon forms around the target. The glowing, yellow-green cocoon is made of force, but it is somewhat flexible and responds to pressure from the inside of the cocoon. The cocoon initially forms a few inches from the target, but deforms enough to allow the target to reach into a backpack, cast a spell with a somatic component, draw a weapon, or perform similar actions.

The target can’t move from the space it is in while cocooned, however. Nor can it leave the rejuvenation cocoon early without using teleportation magic or dealing enough damage to destroy the cocoon.

The cocoon has hardness 10 and 10 hit points per caster level. If it is destroyed, the spell ends.

One round after the cocoon forms, it heals the target of 10 points of damage per caster level and purges the target of poison and disease. At the end of the second round, the rejuvenation cocoon dissipates and the target emerges, able to move and act freely.

Renewal Pact

Conjuration (Healing)

This spell creates a pact between the target and a deity that uses divine energy to wipe away any of a host of conditions that may afflict the target.

Once this spell is cast, the pact remains dormant until the target is subjected to one or more of the following adverse conditions: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, sickened, stunned, or poisoned. One round after the target is affected by a condition that triggers the renewal pact, the target receives a heal spell (caster level equal to the caster of the renewal pact.

A creature can be subject to only one renewal pact at a time. Casting renewal pact on a target who already has an untriggered renewal pact voids the earlier pact.514

XP Cost: 500 XP.

Revenance

Conjuration (Healing)

You touch a recently slain ally and temporarily restore her to life so she may continue to fight. The target can have been dead for up to 1 round/caster level.

She functions as if a raise dead spell had been cast upon her, except that she does not lose a level and has half of her full normal hit points. She is alive (not undead) for the duration of the spell and can be healed normally, but dies as soon as the spell ends. While the subject is under this spell, she is not affected by resurrection or raise dead.

The target gains a +1 morale bonus on attacks, damage, saves, and checks against the creature that killed her.

Slime Wave

Conjuration (Summoning)

You create a wave of green slime that begins at the range you choose and violently spreads to the limit of the area. The wave splashes and splatters as it passes; some slime clings to any wall or ceiling. Green slime devours flesh and organic materials on contact, and even dissolves metal. Each creature is covered with one patch of green slime for every 5 feet of its face.

A patch of green slime deals 1d6 points of temporary Constitution damage per round while it devours flesh. Against wood or metal, green slime deals 2d6 points of damage per round, ignoring metal’s hardness but not that of wood. It does not harm stone.

On the first round of contact, the slime can be scraped off a creature (most likely destroying the scraping device), but after that it must be frozen, burned, or cut away (applying damage to the victim as well). Extreme cold or heat, sunlight, or a remove disease spell destroys the green slime.

Unlike normal green slime, the slime created by this spell gradually evaporates, disappearing by the end of the duration.

Spiritual Chariot

Conjuration (Creation)

When this spell is cast, a ghostly chariot forms behind the paladin’s special mount. The chariot is large and ornate, and it is made of transparent, faintly glowing energy. Usually the holy symbol of the paladin’s deity is emblazoned on the sides of the chariot. The mount is correctly harnessed to the chariot.

The chariot can hold 1 Medium creature or two Small creatures plus the driver (usually the paladin). Although the chariot seems large and sturdy, it and its occupants have no weight for the purpose of the mount’s load, so the horse can travel at full speed. If the chariot is ever unhitched from the special mount, it disappears.

The driver of the spiritual chariot gains a +4 sacred bonus on her Handle Animal checks. The chariot is made of magical force and is immune to damage. It interacts with other spells just like a wall of force. Those in the chariot have cover based on their size and the position of their attackers.

In most situations, Medium creatures inside the chariot gain cover (+4 bonus to AC, +2 bonus on Reflex saving throws).

Storm of Elemental Fury

Conjuration (Summoning)

This spell creates a black storm cloud that hovers over your enemies, striking them with a terrifying combination of effects from the Elemental Planes. When created, the storm of elemental fury buffets the area immediately below it with a whirling windstorm that functions as described on pages 94–95 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Ranged attacks within the area of the storm are impossible, and Small or smaller creatures must succeed on a Fortitude save or be blown away.

Medium creatures must make their Fortitude save or be knocked prone, and Large or larger creatures must succeed on a Fortitude save to move that round. Flying creatures that fail their saves are instead blown in a random direction, traveling 1d6×5 feet of Large or larger, 1d6×10 feet if Medium, and 2d6×10 feet if Small or smaller. Spells cast within the area are disrupted unless the caster succeeds on a Concentration check against a DC equal to 515 the storm of elemental fury’s save DC + the level of the spell the caster is trying to cast.

If you do not maintain concentration on the spell after casting it, the spell ends. If you continue to concentrate, the spell generates additional effects in each following round, as noted below. Each effect occurs during your turn. As a move action (taken in addition to the standard action required to maintain concentration), you can move the storm cloud up to 40 feet in any direction.

2nd round: Chunks of rock fall from the sky, dealing 5d6 points of bludgeoning damage (no save).

3rd round: A deluge of rain extinguishes unprotected flames and perhaps protected ones as well (50% chance). The torrential downpour reduces visibility to 5 feet and cuts movement speed in half.

4th round: Flame pelts the area underneath the storm cloud, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (Reflex half).

True Creation

Conjuration (Creation)

You create a nonmagical, unattended object of any sort of matter. Items created are permanent and cannot be negated by dispelling magics or negating powers. For all intents and purposes, these items are completely real. The volume of the item created cannot exceed 1 cubic foot per caster level.

You must succeed on an appropriate skill check to make a complex item, such as a Craft (bowmaking) check to make straight arrow shafts or a Craft (gemcutting) check to make a cut and polished gem.

Unlike the items brought into being by the lower-level spells minor creation and major creation, objects created by the casting of true creation can be used as material components.

XP Cost: The item’s gold piece value in XP, or a minimum of 1 XP, whichever is more (see the Player’s Handbook for item costs).

Vigor

Conjuration (Healing)

This spell is the same as lesser vigor, except that it grants fast healing at the rate of 2 hit points per round.

Vigor, Greater

Conjuration (Healing)

This spell is the same as lesser vigor, except that it grants fast healing at the rate of 4 hit points per round.

Vigor, Lesser

Conjuration (Healing)

With a touch of your hand, you boost the subject’s life energy, granting him or her the fast healing ability for the duration of the spell.

The subject heals 1 hit point per round of such damage until the spell ends and is automatically stabilized if he or she begins dying from hit point loss during that time. Lesser vigor does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow or attach lost body parts.

The effects of multiple vigor spells do not stack; only the highest-level effect applies. Applying a second vigor spell of equal level extends the first spell’s duration by the full duration of the second spell.

Vigor, Mass Lesser

Conjuration (Healing)

You invoke healing energy over a group of creatures, granting each the fast healing ability for the duration of the spell.

Each subject heals 1 hit point per round of such damage until the spell ends and is automatically stabilized if he or she begins dying from hit point loss during that time. Mass lesser vigor does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow or attach lost body parts.

The effects of multiple vigor spells do not stack; only the highest-level effect applies. Applying a second vigor spell of equal level extends the first spell’s duration by the full duration of the second spell.

Vigorous Circle

Conjuration (Healing)

This spell is the same as mass lesser vigor, except that it grants fast healing at the rate of 3 hit points per round.

Waterspout

Conjuration (Creation)

Waterspout causes water to rise up into a whirling, cylindrical column. A body of water at least 10 feet wide and 20 feet deep must be present, or the spell is wasted. If the waterspout encounters insufficient depth after it has formed, it collapses.

The waterspout moves at a speed of 30 feet and must remain over water. You can concentrate on controlling the waterspout’s every movement or specify a simple program, such as move straight ahead, zigzag, circle, or the like. Directing the waterspout’s movement or changing its programmed movement is a standard action for you. The waterspout always moves during your turn in the initiative order. If the waterspout exceeds the spell’s range, it collapses and the spell ends.

The waterspout batters creatures and objects it touches, and it often sucks them up. Any creature or object that comes in contact with the waterspout must succeed on a Reflex save or take 3d8 points of damage. Medium or smaller creatures who fail their save are sucked into the spout and held suspended in its powerful currents, taking 2d6 points of damage each round with no save allowed. Trapped creatures remain inside for 1d3 rounds before the waterspout ejects them out the top of the spout, and they fall back to the surface (taking falling damage) 1d8×5 feet from the base of the waterspout.

Waterborne creatures or objects within 10 feet of the spout (below and on all sides) also must make successful Reflex saves or be sucked into the spout if they are Medium or smaller. Anything sucked into the spout takes 3d8 points of damage and is then trapped for 1d3 rounds as explained above.

Only the smallest canoes, kayaks, or coracles can be sucked into the spout. The occupant of any such craft may make a Profession (sailor) check instead of a Reflex save (his choice) to avoid being sucked up.

Wood Wose

Conjuration (Creation)

A wood wose is a translucent, green nature spirit that you can command to perform simple natural tasks. It can build a campfire, gather herbs, feed an animal companion, catch a fish, or perform any other simple task that doesn’t involve knowledge of technology. It cannot, for example, open a latched chest, since it doesn’t know how a latch works.

The wose can perform only one activity at a time, but it repeats the same activity if told to do so. Thus, if you commanded it to gather leaves, it would continue to do so while you turned your attention elsewhere, as long as you remained within range.

The wose has an effective Strength score of 2, so it can lift 20 pounds or drag 100 pounds. It can trigger traps, but the 20 pounds of force it can exert is not enough to activate most pressure plates. Its speed is 15 feet in any direction, even up.

A wood wose cannot attack in any way; it is never allowed an attack roll or a saving throw. It cannot be killed, but it dissipates if it takes 6 points of damage from area attacks.

If you attempt to send the wose beyond the spell’s range (measured from your current position), it ceases to exist.

Blessed Aim

Divination

This spell grants a +2 morale bonus on all ranged attacks for your allies within the spread.

Brain Spider

Divination [Mind-Affecting]

This spell allows you to eavesdrop as a standard action on the thoughts of up to eight other creatures at once, hearing as desired:

• The ceaseless chaos representing images of surface thoughts

• Individual trains of thought in whatever order you desire

• Information from all minds about one particular topic, thing, or being, one nugget of information per caster level

• A study of the thoughts and memories of one creature of the group in detail Once per round, if you do not perform a detailed study of one creature’s mind, you can attempt (as a standard action) to implant a suggestion in the mind of any one of the affected creatures.

  The creature can make another Will saving throw to resist the suggestion, using the save DC of the brain spider. (Creatures with special resistance to enchantment spells can use this resistance to keep from being affected by the suggestion). Success on this saving throw does not negate the other effects of the brain spider for that creature.

Chain of Eyes

Divination

You can use a creature’s vision instead of your own. While this spell gives you no control over the creature, each time it comes into physical contact with another living being, you can choose to transfer your sensor to the new creature. In this way, your sensor can infiltrate a closely guarded area.

During your turn in a round, you can use a free action to switch from seeing through the current creature’s eyes to seeing normally or back again.

Detect Favored Enemy

Divination

You can sense the presence of a favored enemy. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area.

1st Round: Presence or absence of a favored enemy in the area.

2nd Round: Types of favored enemies in the area and the number of each type.

3rd Round: The location and HD of each individual present.

Note: Each round you can turn to detect things in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks detection.

Dream Sight

Divination

You fall into a deep sleep while your spirit leaves your body in incorporeal form and travels to distant locations. Your spirit can move 100 feet per round, and can see and hear anything you could if you were in the same location. The spirit can be blocked by any spell that wards incorporeal creatures, and it can be detected and attacked in the same way as incorporeal creatures can.

Your spirit can do nothing but move and observe—it cannot speak, attack, cast spells, or perform any other action.

At the end of the spell, your spirit instantaneously returns to your body and you wake up. If your body is disturbed while your spirit is wandering, the spell ends immediately.

Implacable Pursuer

Divination

With this spell, you become an unerring tracker, instantly aware of your quarry’s location whenever it’s on the move. The implacable pursuer spell gives you the direction and distance to the target creature whenever it finishes a turn more than 10 feet away from where it started.

The difficulty of the save against implacable pursuer depends on your relationship to the subject. You apply your favored enemy bonus (if any) to the DC of the Will save the target attempts.

Once you successfully target a creature with implacable pursuer, you’ll know its location as long as it’s moving, no matter where it goes on the same plane. Even if it leaves the plane, implacable pursuer tells you what plane the target creature went to.

The spell then provides no further information until you and the subject creature are on the same plane, in which case implacable pursuer resumes functioning normally.

Mark of the Hunter

Divination

By pointing your figure at a favored enemy of yours, you mark it with a glowing rune that only you can see. Your favored enemy bonuses against a foe with a mark of the hunter are +4 higher than they would otherwise be.

Furthermore, the rune limns your enemy, making him easier for you to attack. The subject of a mark of the hunter gains no bonus to Armor Class against your attacks from any cover less than total cover, nor does it gain a miss chance against your attacks from any concealment less than total concealment. Other effects that grant a miss chance (such as incorporealness) work normally.

Omen of Peril

Divination

A brief supplication gives you (and only you) a vision that hints at how dangerous the immediate future is likely to be.

Based on an assessment of the caster’s immediate surroundings and likely path of travel, the caster receives one of three visions: safety, peril, or great danger. The base chance for receiving an accurate reply is 70% + 1% per caster level, to a maximum of 90%; the DM makes the roll secretly. If the omen of peril is successful, you get one of three visions, which lasts just a second or two:

• Safety. The caster isn’t in any immediate danger. If he continues on his present course (or remains where he is if he’s been stationary for some time before casting the spell), he’ll face no significant monsters, traps, or other challenges for the next hour or so.

• Peril. The caster will face challenges typical of an adventure: challenging but not overwhelming monsters, dangerous traps, and other hazards for the next hour or so.

• Great danger. The caster’s very life is at grave risk. He will likely face powerful NPCs or deadly traps in the next hour.

The exact form that an omen of peril takes depends on whether the caster worships a specific deity, venerates nature as a druid, or simply upholds abstract principles. A druid might see a white dove for safety, a dark cloud obscuring the sun for peril, and a forest fire for great danger. A cleric of Fharlanghn might get a vision of a straight road for safety, a crossroads for peril, and a washed-out bridge for great danger.

Unlike the more powerful augury, an omen of peril doesn’t respond to a specific question. It only indicates the level of danger likely for the next hour, not what form the danger will take.

Focus: A set of marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens of at least 25 gp value.

Probe Thoughts

Divination [Mind-Affecting]

All the subject’s memories and knowledge are accessible to you, ranging from memories deep below the surface to those still easily called to mind. You can learn the answer to one question per round, to the best of the subject’s knowledge.

You can also probe a sleeping subject, though the subject may make a Will save against the DC of the probe thoughts spell to wake after each question. Subjects who do not wish to be probed can attempt to move beyond the power’s range, unless somehow hindered.

You pose the questions telepathically, and the answers to those questions are imparted directly to your mind. You and the subject do not need to speak the same language, though less intelligent creatures may yield up only appropriate visual images in answer to your questions.

Telepathic Bond, Lesser

Divination [Mind-Affecting]

You forge a telepathic bond with another creature with an Intelligence score of 6 or higher. The bond can be established only with a willing subject. You can communicate telepathically through the bond regardless of language. No special power or influence is established as a result of the bond.

Once the bond is formed, it works over any distance (although not from one plane to another).

Weather Eye

Divination519

You may accurately predict the natural weather up to one week into the future. If unnatural forces currently affect the weather, then weather eye reveals as much information as a detect magic spell.

Focus: A scrying device of some kind (bowl, mirror, crystal ball, and so forth).

Bolts of Bedevilment

Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]

This spell grants you the ability to make one ray attack per round. The ray dazes one living creature, clouding its mind so that it takes no action for 1d3 rounds. The creature is not stunned (so attackers get no special advantage against it), but it can’t move, cast spells, use mental abilities, and so on.

Maddening Scream

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

The subject cannot keep himself from screaming, gibbering, and leaping about as though completely mad. This spell makes it impossible for the victim to do anything other than race about caterwauling. The spell gives the subject a –4 penalty to Armor Class, makes Reflex saving throws impossible except on a roll of 20, and makes it impossible to use a shield.

Monstrous Thrall

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

As true domination, except the subject can be any creature and is permanently dominated if it fails its initial Will save. A subject ordered to take an action against its nature receives a saving throw with a –4 penalty to resist taking that particular action. If the save succeeds, the subject still remains your thrall despite its minor mutiny.

Once a subject makes a successful saving throw to resist a specific order, it makes all future saving throws to resist taking that specific action without a penalty.

XP Cost: 500 XP per Hit Die or level of the subject.

Righteous Wrath of the Faithful

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

When you cast this spell, you fire your allies and companions with a divine madness or fury that greatly enhances their combat ability. Allies who are fighting on your side are affected as if they had received an aid spell, gaining a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saving throws against fear effects, plus 1d8 temporary hit points for the duration of the spell.

Allies who worship the same deity as you are infused with the righteous wrath. They gain one additional melee attack each round, at their highest attack bonus, and a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls and saving throws. They gain an additional 1d8 temporary hit points (for a total of 2d8) and a +3 morale bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting spells or effects.

When the spell duration expires, any allies who were affected by the full righteous wrath are fatigued (–2 to Strength, –2 to Dexterity, can’t charge or run) for 10 minutes.

Touch of Madness

Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]

You may daze one living creature by making a successful touch attack. If the target creature does not make a successful Will save, its mind is clouded and it takes no action for 1 round per caster level. A dazed creature is not stunned (so attackers get no special advantage against it), but it can’t move, cast spells, use mental abilities, and so on.

True Domination

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

You can control the actions of any humanoid that is Medium or smaller. You establish a telepathic link with the subject’s mind. If a common language is shared, you can generally force the subject to perform as you desire, within the limits of his abilities. If no common language is shared, you can communicate only basic commands, such as “Come here”, “Go there”, “Fight”, and “Stand still”.

You know what the subject is experiencing, but you do not receive direct sensory input from him.

Subjects have a chance of resisting this control (Will save to avoid the effects when the spell is cast). Those affected by the spell and then forced to take actions against their nature receive a new saving throw with a penalty of –4. Obviously self-destructive orders may be carried out, unless the subject can make a saving throw with the –4 penalty.

Once control is established, the range at which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as you and the subject are on the same plane. You need not see the subject to control it.

Protection from evil or a similar spell can prevent you from exercising control or using the telepathic link while the subject is so warded, but it does not prevent the establishment of domination or dispel it.

Wave of Grief

Enchantment [Evil, Mind-Affecting]

All within the cone when the spell is cast are overcome with sorrow and grief. They suffer a –3 morale penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.

Anger of the Noonday Sun

Evocation [Light]

This spell unleashes a blinding flash of sunlight originating with you and expanding outward. Any creature within the area of the spell that can see you must make a saving throw or be temporarily blinded. The blindness lasts for 1 minute per caster level.

An undead creature caught within the spell area takes 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d6), or half damage if a Reflex save is successful. In addition, the beam results in the destruction of any undead creature specifically harmed by bright light (such as a vampire) if it fails its save.

The ultraviolet light generated by the spell deals damage to fungi, mold, oozes, and slimes just as if they were undead creatures.

Bane Bow

Evocation

This spell allows you to channel divine power into any ranged weapon you choose. The weapon gains a +5 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls, plus the bane quality (+7 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls, plus an additional 2d6 points of damage) against foes of a type you specify. You must choose one of your favored enemy categories as the type that your bane bow is effective against.

The spell is automatically canceled 1 round after the weapon leaves your hand. You cannot have more than one bane bow at a time. If this spell is cast on a magic weapon, the powers of the spell supersede any that the weapon normally has, rendering the normal enhancement bonus and powers of the weapon inoperative for the duration of the spell.

This spell is not cumulative with other spells that modify weapons in some way. This spell does not work on artifacts.

Note: A masterwork weapon’s bonus on attack rolls does not stack with a magic enhancement bonus on attacks. Ammunition fired from a bane bow loses its magic qualities (taking those of the bane bow instead), but it retains its material qualities for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. For example, a bane bow can still shoot silver arrows that bypass the damage reduction of lycanthropes.

Binding Winds

Evocation

You create a flurry of air to encircle and hold your target. The binding winds do not move. Instead, they become a physical barrier surrounding the subject. The subject may act normally, but she cannot move from her current location.

The winds carry her voice away, so she can speak but cannot be heard, and she cannot hear anything but the roar of the winds. Furthermore, no sonic or language-dependent spells or effects may be cast into or out of the binding winds (though spells cast by the caster upon himself function normally). Ranged attacks made into or out of the binding winds suffer a –2 penalty.

Binding winds hold flying creatures in mid-air.

Blast of Force

Evocation [Force]

You direct an invisible blast of force at a chosen target. The blast is a ranged touch attack that deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). In addition, a successful hit forces the target to make a Fortitude save or be knocked down (size and stability modifiers apply to the saving throw as if the spell were a bull rush).

Bolt of Glory

Evocation [Good]

By casting this spell, you project a bolt of energy from the Positive Energy Plane against one creature. You must make a successful ranged touch attack to strike your target. A creature struck takes varying damage, depending on its nature or its home plane of existence and your level

Castigate

Evocation [Sonic]

This spell allows you to verbally rebuke foes. By shouting your deity’s teachings about other alignments, you inflict pain on those who hear, and those in the area need not understand your divine words to be affected. This spell has no effect on creatures that cannot hear.

Otherwise, you deafen foes of the same alignment for 1d4 rounds (save for half). Foes within one alignment step of your alignment (lawful, neutral, chaotic; good or evil) take 1 point of damage per caster level (maximum 10). Foes whose alignment is more than one step different from yours take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d4).

A Fortitude saving throw is allowed for half damage from this spell.

Cloudburst

Evocation (Water)

You cause clouds to gather and a heavy rain to fall. The rain reduces visibility ranges by half, resulting in a –4 penalty on Spot and Search checks. It automatically extinguishes unprotected flames, and has a 50% chance of extinguishing protected flames. Ranged weapon attacks and Listen checks suffer a –4 penalty.

This spell does not function indoors, underground, underwater, or in desert climates. After the spell end, the water created evaporates over the next 10 minutes. The water created with this spell does not slake thirst or provide any nourishment to plants.

Crown of Glory

Evocation

You are imbued with an aura of celestial authority, inspiring awe in all lesser creatures that behold your terrible perfection and righteousness. You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to your Charisma score for the duration of the spell.

All creatures with fewer than 8 HD or levels cease whatever they are doing and are compelled to pay attention to you. Any such creature that wants to take hostile action against you must make a successful Will save to do so. Any creature that does not make this saving throw the first time it attempts a hostile action is enthralled for the duration of the spell (as the enthrall spell), as long as it is in the spell’s area, nor will it try to leave the area on its own.

Creatures with 8 HD or more may pay attention to you, but are not affected by this spell. When you speak, all listeners telepathically understand you, even if they do not understand your language.

While the spell lasts, you can make up to three suggestions to creatures of less than 8 HD in range, as if using the mass suggestion spell (Will save negates); creatures with 8 HD or more aren’t affected by this power. Only creatures within range at the time a suggestion is given are subject to it.

Divine Sacrifice

Evocation

You can sacrifice life force to increase the damage you deal. Once each round, as a free action, you can sacrifice up to 10 of your hit points (doing this does not trigger an attack of opportunity). For every 2 hit points you sacrifice, on your next successful attack you deal +1d6 damage, to a maximum of +5d6 on that attack.

Your ability to deal this additional damage ends when you successfully attack or when the spell duration ends. You can make as many sacrifices as the spell duration allows. Sacrificed hit points count as normal damage.

For example, an 8th-level paladin can cast this spell with a duration of 4 rounds. If she sacrifices 10 hit points a round and hits in every round, she can spend up to 40 hit points and deal up to +5d6 points of additional damage all 4 rounds.

Dragon Breath

Evocation [Good or Evil]

You gain the ability to breathe a gout of energy that mimics a dragon’s breath as a standard action. Once you’ve used the breath attack, you must wait 1d4 rounds before doing so again.

When you cast dragon breath, you choose one true dragon whose breath you’re emulating. If you choose a chromatic dragon, then dragon breath gains the evil descriptor. If you choose a metallic dragon, then dragon breath gains the good descriptor.

Energy Vortex

Evocation [Acid, Cold, Fire, Electricity, or Sonic]

When you cast energy vortex, you choose one of five energy types: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. A blast of that energy type bursts in all directions from you, dealing 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20) to nearby creatures other than you. If you are willing to take the damage yourself, you deal twice as much damage.

You don’t get a Reflex save, but spell resistance applies, as do any resistances and immunities you have to the energy type.

Enveloping Cocoon

Evocation

A cocoon of shimmering blue-green energy encloses a creature of size Large or smaller, containing it for the spell’s duration or until it’s destroyed. The cocoon has hardness 10 and 10 hit points per caster level.

The enveloping cocoon prevents the creature trapped inside from moving or casting spells with somatic components. The cocoon is too confining to permit effective attacks with anything larger than a natural or light weapon (and the creature inside can attack only the cocoon in any event).

The caster of an enveloping cocoon can attach a second spell to the cocoon by casting it at the cocoon. When the enveloping cocoon spell ends or is dismissed, the attached spell automatically affects the creature inside, with no save allowed (although spell resistance, if any, still applies). If the cocoon is destroyed before it is dismissed or the spell duration ends, the attached spell is wasted.

Any of the following spells can be attached to an enveloping cocoon: baleful polymorph, blight, contagion, dominate animal, flame strike, infestation of maggots, languor, miasma, phantasmal disorientation, poison (the target fails the initial save but gets to attempt the second save).

Fires of Purity

Evocation [Fire]

The creature you touch bursts into magical flames that do not harm the target, but are quite capable of harming anyone else who comes into contact with them.

With a successful melee attack, the subject deals an extra 1d6 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15). If the defender has spell resistance, it applies to this effect. Creatures hitting the subject are susceptible to the same damage unless they attack with weapons that have exceptional reach, such as longspears.

Any creature taking fire damage from fires of purity must succeed on a Reflex save or catch fire. Creatures on fire burn for 1d4 rounds and take 1d6 points of fire damage each round, unless they succeed on Reflex saves (at the spell’s DC) in subsequent rounds or douse themselves in water (see Catching on Fire).

The target takes only half damage from fire-based attacks. If such an attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, the target takes no damage on a successful save.

Flame of Faith

Evocation

You can temporarily turn any single normal or masterwork melee weapon into a magical, flaming one.

For the duration of the spell, the weapon acts as a +1 flaming burst weapon that deals an additional +1d6 points of fire damage. On a critical hit, the weapon deals +1d10 points of bonus fire damage if the weapon’s critical multiplier is ×2, +2d10 points if the weapon’s multiplier is ×3, and +3d10 points if the multiplier is ×4.

This spell effect does not stack with a weapon’s enhancement bonus or with a flaming or flaming burst weapon bonus. Material

Focus: A lump of phosphorus, touched to the target weapon.

Miasma

Evocation

By filling the subject’s mouth and throat with unbreathable gas, you prevent him from doing much more than coughing and spitting. The subject can hold his breath for 2 rounds per point of Constitution but must make a Constitution check (DC 10 +1 per previous success) each round thereafter to continue doing so.

Failure on any such check (or voluntary resumption of breathing) causes the subject to fall unconscious (0 hp). On the next round, the subject drops to –1 hit points and is dying; on the third round, he suffocates (see Suffocation, page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Murderous Mist

Evocation

You create a cloud of scalding hot steam that moves in a straight line, away from you, at a speed of 10 feet per round. Anyone within the cloud takes 2d6 points of damage and is permanently blinded. If a creature within the area makes a successful Reflex saving throw, it takes only half damage and is not blinded. Any creature within the cloud has one-quarter concealment.

Winds do not affect the cloud’s direction or speed. However, a moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the cloud in 4 rounds, and a strong wind (21+) disperses it in 1 round.

Nature’s Avatar

Evocation

You infuse the subject with the spirit of nature. The affected creature gains a +10 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls and 1d8 temporary hit points per caster level, plus the effects of haste.

Nature’s Favor

Evocation

By calling on the power of nature, you grant the target animal a +1 luck bonus on attack and damage rolls for every 2 caster levels you possess.

Nimbus of Light

Evocation [Light]

A glittering corona of sunlight surrounds your body at a few inches distance—until you release it as a focused blast of divine energy. The nimbus of light glows like a lantern, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 30 feet) from you.

As a move action, you can coalesce the energy from the nimbus of light around your outstretched arm, and then as a standard action fling it toward a foe within 30 feet. As a ranged touch attack, the nimbus of light deals 1d8 points of damage +1 point per round that’s elapsed since you cast the spell (max of 1d8 + caster level damage). Attacking with the nimbus of light ends the spell, whether the energy hits its target or not.

Sandblast

Evocation

You fire a hail of hot sand from your fingers, dealing 1d6 points of nonlethal damage to creatures in the arc. Any creature that fails its Reflex save is also stunned for 1 round.

Stalwart Pact

Evocation

This spell allows the target to enter a binding agreement with a deity that provides a measure of protection when the need is dire. Once this spell is cast, the pact remains dormant until the target is reduced to half or less of her full normal hit points. The target immediately gains 5 temporary hit points per caster level, damage reduction of 5/magic, and a +4 luck bonus on saving throws.

The hit points, damage reduction, and saving throw bonus evaporate when the spell ends.

XP Cost: 250 XP.

Tidal Surge

Evocation [Water]

When you cast this spell, you create a huge wave of water that slams into one or more targets within range. If there is no large, natural source of water (a river, lake, or ocean) within the spell range, you can affect only one target. If such a source of water exists within the range of the spell, the spell creates a burst centered on a location you designate.

In either case, the water deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 7d8) to the target or to creatures within the area. In addition, all affected creatures suffer a bull rush attack, forcing them to make opposed Strength checks against the wave of water. The water has an effective Strength of 16 and is considered Medium size (or Strength 20 and Large if cast near a source of water).

You designate the direction the wave pushes when you cast the spell; creatures who lose the opposed Strength check are pushed back 5 feet, plus an additional 5 feet for every 5 points by which the wave beats their Strength checks, in that direction. It is possible for a wave arising from a body of water to push characters into the water.

The wave puts out torches, campfires, exposed lanterns, and other open flames if they are carried by the target or located within the area and they are Large size or smaller. If the wave hits a magical fire, those flames are targeted by a dispel magic effect as if you had cast the spell.

Whirlwind, Greater

Evocation [Air]

This spell creates a tornado that wreaks destruction as you direct, flinging your foes into the air and destroying nearby structures. The greater whirlwind affects creatures differently, depending on their size and where they are in relation to the twister.

Near the Tornado: Large or smaller creatures who start their turn within 60 feet of the center of the greater whirlwind must succeed on a Fortitude save or be dragged 1d4×10 feet toward the center of the twister, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet dragged. Huge creatures within 40 feet of the twister must succeed on a Fortitude save or be knocked prone. Gargantuan and Colossal creatures within 40 feet of the twister must succeed on a Fortitude save before moving away from the twister.

Flying creatures of size Huge or smaller that fail their Fortitude saves are sucked to the center of the twister, taking 2d6 points of damage from the battering and buffeting. Gargantuan flying creatures must succeed on a Fortitude save or be pulled 1d6×10 feet toward the center of the twister. Colossal flyers must likewise make Fortitude saves or be pulled 1d6×5 feet toward the twister’s center.

Inside the Tornado: Creatures who start their turn inside the tornado take 6d6 points of damage for each of the 1d10 rounds they remain inside it (roll separately for each creature). Creatures inside the tornado can’t do much; attacks, spellcasting, and movement are impossible within an greater whirlwind.

When the greater whirlwind expels a creature, it reappears 4d6×5 feet away from the twister’s center in a random direction, and 4d6×5 feet off the ground (immediately falling if it can’t fly). Terrain and Structures: The tornado uproots trees and other vegetation automatically, and it leaves a trail of dense rubble (as described on page 90 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide) wherever it goes.

Structures within a greater whirlwind take 2d6×10 points of damage per round. In a round or two, that is sufficient to destroy any building made of materials less sturdy than reinforced masonry. No ranged attacks can pass through the twister. The greater whirlwind extinguishes all flames it touches. Listen checks are impossible within a greater whirlwind. The greater whirlwind remains stationary unless you direct it elsewhere as a move action.

It moves up to 60 feet per round.

Zealot Pact

Evocation

This spell creates a binding agreement between a deity and the target that grants the target a measure of divine power to crush the deity’s enemies. Once this spell is cast, the pact remains dormant until the target successfully hits a foe whose alignment is exactly opposite that of the deity.

The target’s subsequent melee attacks gain a +4 bonus, deal double damage, and automatically confirm critical hits for the spell’s duration. Furthermore, the target’s melee attacks have alignment descriptors that match the deity with whom you’ve made the pact.

The target is compelled to attack foes of opposite alignment every round if able to do so. The target knows which creatures within 60 feet are of opposite alignment (as if the relevant detect spells had been cast). If you create a zealot pact with a completely neutral deity such as Obad-Hai, choose one alignment from the following list that triggers the zealot pact: lawful good, lawful evil, chaotic evil, or chaotic good.

A creature can be subject to only one zealot pact at a time. Casting zealot pact on a target who already has an untriggered zealot pact voids the earlier pact.

XP Cost: 500 XP.

Doomtide

Illusion (Pattern)

You fill an area with illusory black, creeping mist that vaguely resembles thousands of slender grasping tentacles. You and one creature you touch are immune to the effects of this spell and can see through it without difficulty. When you cast the spell, you decide if the effect remains stationary or moves away from you at a rate of 10 feet per round.

The mist obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has one-half concealment (attacks suffer a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).

A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the doomtide in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the mist in 1 round.

Furthermore, creatures within its area must make Will saves or be dazed for as long as they remain in the cloud. The spell does not function underwater.

Phantasmal Decoy

Illusion (Phantasm) [Mind-Affecting]

You create a phantasmal image of the subject’s most hated enemy by sifting through the subconscious mind of the subject. Only you and the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal creature, and the phantasm seems blurry and indistinct to you.

A creature of Int 3 or lower automatically chases after a phantasmal decoy, and more intelligent creatures are likely to do as well unless such action would be obviously foolish. As a move action, you can move the phantasmal decoy up to 60 feet in any direction. Because it’s not real, the phantasmal decoy isn’t affected by terrain that slows movement (although you can slow its progress voluntarily if you like to help maintain the façade of realism).

The target gets a Will save if she successfully attacks the phantasmal decoy or moves adjacent to it.

Phantasmal Disorientation

Illusion (Phantasm) [Mind-Affecting]

You create ever-shifting phantasmal terrain and landmarks that confuse the subject when it tries to move. The very ground seems to shift and twist beneath the subject’s feet, and the landscape seems to move of its own accord.

The subject finds it nearly impossible to walk in a straight line. Each round the subject of a phantasmal disorientation wants to move, he must attempt a DC 20 Survival check to discern the true landmarks from the phantasmal ones. If he succeeds, he moves normally.

If he fails, he instead moves in a direction 90 degrees to either side (equal chance of going left or right). Because of the phantasmal disorientation, the subject doesn’t realize he’s headed in the wrong direction until he meaningfully interacts with his environment (by making an attack or manipulating an object such as a door, for example) or the round ends.

If the subject discovers he’s moved in the wrong direction before the round is over, he can make a new Survival check to try to move in the right direction, but he won’t know whether the second check failed until he interacts with the environment again or the round ends.

A phantasmal disorientation spell affects only movement. Creatures subject to it can still fight, cast spells, and otherwise act normally.

Shadow Landscape

Illusion (Shadow)

By infusing the nearby landscape with power stolen from the Plane of Shadow, you make the surrounding terrain a more savage, dangerous place. The spell’s exact effects vary with the terrain upon which it is cast.

Desert: Shadow landscape transforms a desert into a place where no one goes willingly. The average temperature increases by 30 degrees, or decreases by 30 degrees if the desert is actually a tundra (see Cold Dangers and Heat Dangers). Sandstorms (or snowstorms if in a tundra) blow through a shadow landscape desert on an hourly basis.

Forest: Forests augmented with a shadow landscape spell become frightening places where a canopy of rotting leaves blocks the sun and all the trees are strangely twisted. Spaces with light undergrowth have heavy undergrowth instead, and spaces covered with heavy undergrowth grasp at passersby as if an entangle spell had been cast on them (Reflex partial at the shadow landscape’s DC).

Hill: Even gentle hills become more treacherous under the effects of a shadow landscape spell. Light undergrowth becomes heavy undergrowth in hill terrain under the effects of shadow landscape, and slopes seem steeper than their elevation would indicate. It takes two squares to move uphill on a gradual slope, and four squares to move uphill on a steep slope. Cliffs have frequent overhangs and are made of crumbling rock, requiring a DC 25 Climb check to ascend or descend.

Marsh: Marshes seem swampier and more forbidding. Half the undergrowth spaces in the marsh become quicksand (described on page 88 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Mountain: The mountains become places of jagged peaks, slippery slopes, and howling winds. Cliffs and chasms require a DC 25 Climb check to scale. Creatures who fail Climb checks or make loud noises have a 10% chance of starting an avalanche. Altitude effects are one category worse: areas lower than 5,000 feet are treated as the 5,000- to 15,000-foot category, and anything above 5,000 feet is treated as being above 15,000 feet.

Plain: Only natural grasslands change as a result of shadow landscape, but they become wide-open spaces with stands of thick bushes where thunderstorms and tornados are frequent. Half the spaces with undergrowth (light or heavy) grasp at passersby as if an entangle spell had been cast on them (Reflex partial at the shadow landscape’s DC).

Underground: Ordinary dungeons aren’t affected by shadow landscape, but naturally occurring caverns are. Natural stone floors take 4 squares of movement per space to enter. Stalagmites cover 10% of the available floor space.

In addition to the terrain-specific effects, the shadow landscape spell worsens the weather within the spell’s area. When rolling random weather on Table 3–23 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (or a similar table specific to the local area), roll twice and take the higher result. In plains terrain, roll three times and take the highest result. Don’t roll random weather underground.

You don’t suffer the terrain-specific effects (entangling terrain, hindrances to movement, altitude effects, higher Climb DCs, and so on) of a shadow landscape you’ve created. When you cast shadow landscape, you can designate one creature per four caster levels as a designated traveler. Creatures so designated don’t suffer the terrain-specific effects of the shadow landscape spell, but they’re still subject to the bad weather.

You can also designate one or more animals, plants, or magical beasts native to the spell’s area as shadow guardians of the landscape. You can designate 1 HD of creature per caster level, split up however you like. For example, a 20th-level druid could designate two treants (7 HD each) and a dire wolf (6 HD) as shadow guardians.

As long as the designated guardians remain within the spell’s area, they have a friendly attitude toward you and the travelers you’ve designated, and also gain the following special qualities: resistance to cold 10, darkvision 60 ft.; damage reduction 5/magic, evasion, and low-light vision. If the creature already has one or more of these special qualities, use the better value.

Contagious Touch

Necromancy

Upon casting this spell, you must choose one disease from this list: blinding sickness, cackle fever, filth fever, mindfire, red ache, the shakes, or slimy doom (see Disease). Any living creature you hit with a melee touch attack during the spell’s duration is affected as though by the contagion spell, immediately contracting the disease you have selected unless it makes a successful Fortitude save. You cannot infect more than one creature per round.

Curse of Lycanthropy

Necromancy

You can cause temporary lycanthropy in a humanoid you touch. A humanoid who fails the saving throw contracts lycanthropy, and the condition manifests with the next full moon. Unlike other forms of lycanthropy, the effect of this spell can be broken by remove curse or break enchantment. You can induce any type of common lycanthropy (and evil clerics frequently experiment with new kinds).

As a rule, the lycanthrope’s animal form can be any predator between the size of a small dog and a large bear. The source of the material component determines the victim’s animal form.

Death Pact

Necromancy [Evil]

This spell allows the target to enter into a binding agreement with your deity that brings the target back to life if she is slain. When this spell is cast, the target’s Constitution is permanently lowered by 2 points. In exchange for this, if she ever dies, several spells are brought into effect.

First, she is teleported to a safe location designated by you at the time of casting as if with a word of recall spell. Second, the target is brought back from the dead with a raise dead spell with the standard loss of a level. Finally, the target is healed with a heal spell. She does not regain the 2 Constitution points when returned to life.

If a raise dead spell could not return the target to life (for example, if she was disintegrated or died of old age), the death pact cannot restore her to life. If the spell is dispelled before the target dies, she does not regain her 2 lost Constitution points.

XP Cost: 250 XP.

Decomposition

Necromancy

Whenever an enemy within the area takes normal (not subdual) damage, that wound festers for an additional 1 point of damage per round thereafter for the duration of the spell. A successful Heal check (DC 15) or the application of any cure spell or other healing magic (heal, healing circle, and so on) stops the festering.

Only one wound festers at a time; additional wounds suffered while the first is still festering are not subject to this effect. Once festering has been stopped, however, any new wound suffered while the subject is within the area (before the spell expires) begins the process anew.

For example, a subject who takes 6 points of damage from an attack while within the area of a decomposition spell takes 1 point of damage from festering the next round, and another 1 point on the round after that. On the following round, that subject receives 4 points of healing from a cure light wounds spell, so the festering stops and the subject takes no festering damage that round. The next round, the subject remains within the emanation and takes another 3 points of damage in battle. The festering begins again, inflicting 1 point of festering damage on the next round.

Infestation of Maggots

Necromancy

With a successful melee touch attack, you infest a creature with maggotlike creatures. They deal 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage each round. The subject makes a new Fortitude save each round to negate the damage of that round and end the effect.

The infestation can be removed with a cure disease or heal spell.

Last Breath

Necromancy

With this spell, you can return a dead creature to 0 hit points, provided it died within the last round. You take 1d4 points of damage per Hit Die of the creature affected, and your spell resistance cannot overcome this damage. The subject’s soul must be free and willing to return. If the subject’s soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work; therefore, a subject who wants to return receives no saving throw.

Last breath cures enough damage to bring the subject’s current hit points to 0. Any ability scores damaged to 0 or below are raised to 1. Normal poison and normal disease are cured, but magical diseases and curses are not undone. The spell closes mortal wounds and repairs lethal damage of most kinds, but missing body parts are still missing when the creature returns to life. None of the dead creature’s equipment or possessions are affected in any way by this spell.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The subject loses one level when it returns to life, just as if it had lost a level to an energy-draining creature. This level loss cannot be repaired by any spell. A subject who was previously 1st level loses 1 point of Constitution instead.

A character who died with spells prepared has a 50% chance of losing any given spell upon being raised, in addition to losing spells for losing a level. A spellcasting creature that doesn’t prepare spells (such as a sorcerer) has a 50% chance of losing any given unused spell slot as if it had been used to cast a spell, in addition to losing spell slots for losing a level.

Last breath has no effect on a creature that has been dead for more than 1 round. A creature that died from a death effect can’t be raised by this spell, nor can constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures.

Last breath cannot bring back a creature who has died of old age.

Naturewatch

Necromancy

This spell is identical to deathwatch, but only functions on animals and plants. In addition, it also allows you to determine a variety of other mundane information about the animals and plants (whether or not the plants are dehydrated, the animals are malnourished, and so forth).

Scourge

Necromancy

This nasty spell causes a major disease and weakness in those who fail their saving throws. Afflicted creatures are immediately stricken with a sickening scourge that quickly spreads to cover their entire bodies. The subject suffers excruciatingly painful and highly debilitating blackened boils, magenta blotches, violet lesions, seeping abscesses, and malignant cysts.

The disease deals 1d3 points of temporary Strength and Dexterity damage per day, unless the creature makes a successful Fortitude save on a particular day. As with mummy rot, successful saves do not allow the creature to recover.

The symptoms persist until the creature finds some magical means to cure the disease (such as remove disease, heal, or restoration).

Focus: A black whip or riding crop, which is cracked in the direction of the intended victims during the casting of the spell.

Wrack

Necromancy [Evil]

A humanoid subject of the spellcaster’s choosing is wracked with such pain that he doubles over and collapses. His face and hands blister and drip fluid, and the eyes cloud with blood, rendering him blind.

For the duration of the spell, the subject is considered helpless and cannot take actions. Even when the spell ends, the subject is still visibly shaken and suffers a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saves, and checks for 3d10 minutes.

The subject’s sight returns at the end of the spell’s duration.

Awaken, Mass

Transmutation

You awaken one or more trees or animals to humanlike sentience.

All awakened creatures must be of the same kind. To succeed, you must make a successful Will save (DC 10 + the HD of the highest-HD target, or the HD the highest target tree has once awakened, whichever is greater). Failure indicates that the spell fails for all targets. The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you. You have no special empathy or connection with it, but it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it.

An awakened tree has characteristics as if it were an animated object (see the Monster Manual), except that its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are all 3d6. Awakened plants gain the ability to move their limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and they have senses similar to a human’s.

An awakened animal has 3d6 Intelligence, a +1d3 bonus to Charisma, and +2 HD. An awakened tree or animal can speak one language that you know, plus one additional language that you know per point of Intelligence bonus (if any).

XP Cost: 250 XP per creature awakened.

Beast Claws

Transmutation

Beast claws changes your hands and fingers, giving you long, curving claws and heavy knuckles.

These claws act as slashing melee weapons, inflicting 1d6 damage plus any magical or normal bonuses such as from Strength, with a threat range of 19–20. Attacks with your transformed hands do not provoke an attack of opportunity. The claws do not hinder your manual dexterity or spellcasting.

Bestow Curse, Greater

Transmutation

The spellcaster places a curse on the creature touched, choosing one of the three following effects:

• One ability score is reduced to 1, or two ability scores suffer –6 penalties (minimum 1).

• –8 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.

• Each turn, the subject has a 25% chance to act normally; otherwise, he takes no action.

The greater curse cannot be dispelled, nor can it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, or remove curse spell.

A miracle or wish spell removes the greater curse, but each greater curse also must have a single means of removing it with some deed that the spellcaster designates. The deed must be something that the subject can accomplish within one year (assuming he undertakes it immediately). For example, the deed might be “slay the dragon under Castle Bluecraft”, or “climb the tallest mountain in the world”.

The cursed victim can have help accomplishing the task, and in some cases another character can lift the curse.

Blink, Improved

Transmutation

Like the 3rd-level arcane spell blink, you flicker back and forth between the Material and Ethereal planes. However, you are capable of controlling the timing of you blinks and therefore make better use of them.

Blinking by means of this spell has several effects: Physical attacks against you have a 50% miss chance, and the Blind- Fight feat doesn’t help the attacker. If the attack is capable of striking invisible or incorporeal creatures, the miss chance is only 20%. An attacker who can both see and strike ethereal creatures takes no penalty.

You have no chance of interfering with your own attacks. Individually targeted spells have a 50% chance to fail against you while blinking, unless your attacker can target invisible, ethereal creatures. You have no chance of interfering with your own spells. You take only half damage from area attacks (or full damage from those that extend onto the Ethereal Plane).

While blinking, you strike as an invisible creature (+2 bonus on attack rolls), denying your target any Dexterity bonus to AC. You take only half damage from falling, since you are subject to gravity only while you are on the Material Plane.

You can ready an action to blink away from a specific enemy attack, physical or magical. If you do so, the attack misses automatically unless it can also affect ethereal targets.

You move at three-quarters speed, since movement on the Ethereal Plane is at half speed and you spend about half your time there and half your time material.

While blinking, you can step through (but not see through) solid objects. You do not risk materializing inside a solid object unless you actually end your move inside one, in which case you materialize and are shunted off to the nearest open space. You take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet traveled in his manner.

Since you spend about half your time on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and even attack ethereal creatures. You interact with ethereal creatures in roughly the same way you interact with material ones (their attacks have a 50% miss chance against you, and so on).

Body of the Sun

Transmutation [Fire]

By drawing on the power of the sun, you cause your body to emanate fire. This fire extends 5 feet in all directions from your body, illuminating the area and inflicting 1d4+1 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half) to any creature it touches except you.

Brambles

Transmutation

Small magical thorns or spikes protrude from the surface of a wooden weapon, such as a club, greatclub, nunchaku, or quarterstaff. For the duration of the spell, the weapon deals both piercing and bludgeoning damage. It gains a +1 enhancement bonus on its attacks and deals an additional +1 point of damage per caster level (maximum +10).

This spell works only on melee weapons with wooden striking surfaces. For instance, it does not work on a bow, an arrow, or a metal mace.

Briar Web

Transmutation

This spell causes grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees to grow thorns and then wrap and twist around creatures in or entering the area. Creatures that make their save against this spell are unaffected other than having to move at half speed within the area of affect. If a creature fails its initial saving throw, it has three options: stay perfectly still, attempt to break free from the thorns, or continue to act normally.

A creature that fails its save but stands perfectly still is entangled (–2 attack, –4 Dexterity), but experiences no other effect and takes no damage. Anyone entangled in this way loses the entangled condition if they leave the area of the spell.

Each round in which a creature remains in the area, it may spend a full round action extricating themselves from the thorns. Doing so allows for a new saving throw. If successful, the creature is unaffected by the thorns except it may only move at half speed in the area of the spell. Successfully breaking free in this way is the only thing a character can do that does not cause thorn damage to the character. A failed attempt to break free deals the normal 2d6 thorn piercing damage.

Those that attempt actions (such as attack, cast a spell with a somatic component, or move) take 2d6 points of piercing damage from the thorns. A creature that tries to cast a spell must also make a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level + damage taken) or lose the spell. The plants provide cover. A creature 5 feet away has cover. Creatures separated by 20 or more feet of briar webs have total cover.

Brilliant Aura

Transmutation

You limn your allies in a glowing nimbus, transforming their attacks into brilliant energy.

Each person affected by this aura gives off light as a torch (20-foot radius). Their weapon attacks (melee or ranged) function as if their weapons were brilliant energy weapons: they ignore nonliving matter, and armor and enhancement AC bonuses do not count against them. The attacks cannot harm undead, constructs, or objects. In addition, all attacks gain an enhancement bonus on damage equal to one-half the caster’s level (maximum +10).

Camouflage, Mass

Transmutation

As camouflage, except the effect is mobile with the group. The spell is broken for any individual who moves more than 60 feet from the nearest member of the group. (If only two individuals are affected, the one moving away from the other one loses its camouflage. If both are moving away from each other, they both become visible when the distance between them exceeds 60 feet).

Cloudwalkers

Transmutation

You create gaseous pads of cloudstuff on the subject’s feet, allowing them to walk on the clouds. These pads allow each subject to move straight up or down at a speed of up to 30 feet or laterally with a fly speed of 60 feet (perfect maneuverability), as desired. (Lateral movement is possible only for a subject who is already at least 90 feet off the ground). To touch the earth again, a subject must use a standard action to shake off the cloudstuff, which ends the spell for that creature.

You may dismiss the spell, but only for all subjects at once—an act that can have significant consequences for subjects already in the air.

Creeping Cold

Transmutation [Cold]

You turn the subject’s sweat to ice, creating blisters as the ice forms on and inside the skin. The spell deals 1d6 cumulative points of cold damage per round it is in effect (that is, 1d6 on the 1st round, 2d6 on the second, and 3d6 on the third). Only one save is allowed against the spell; if successful, it halves the damage each round.

Focus: A small glass or pottery vessel worth at least 25 gp filled with ice, snow, or water.

Creeping Cold, Greater

Transmutation [Cold]

This spell is the same as creeping cold, but it adds a fourth round to the duration, during which it deals 4d6 points of damage. If the caster is at least 15th level, the spell adds a fifth round at 5d6 points of damage. If the caster is at least 20th level, the spell adds a sixth round at 6d6 points of damage.

Crumble

Transmutation

You bring the forces of erosion to bear on a fabricated structure such as a stone bridge, a wooden building, an iron wall, a construct, or any other object not formed by nature itself. The erosion inflicts 1d6 points of damage per caster level to the object (hardness does not apply) to a maximum of 15d6. This spell does not affect living creatures. It does, however, affect constructs.

The maximum size of the object affected depends on your level. If you cast this spell on an object of greater size than you can affect, the spell fails.

Curse of Ill Fortune

Transmutation

You place a temporary curse upon the subject, giving her a –3 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks. Curse of ill fortune is negated by any spell that removes a bestow curse spell.

Divine Agility

Transmutation

Calling on the divine power of your patron, you imbue a living creature with agility and skill in combat. You confer the base Reflex save bonus of a rogue of your total character level, a +4 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, and the Spring Attack feat on the target for the duration of the spell.

Fire Wings

Transmutation [Fire]

This spell transforms your arms into wings of brilliant fire. The flame does not damage you or any items you carry. Because your arms are transformed, you cannot hold items in your hands or cast spells that require somatic components while using fire wings, but rings, bracers, and other items worn on your arms when you cast the spell still function normally.

The wings allow you to fly at a speed of 60 feet (or 40 feet if you wear medium or heavy armor), with good maneuverability. You can charge but not run while flying, and you cannot carry more than a light load aloft. Using a fire wings spell requires only as much concentration as walking, so you can take other actions normally.

If the spell duration expires while you are aloft, you descend at a rate of 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds, then fall the rest of the distance if you haven’t already landed. Because dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the fire wings spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field.

You can make unarmed attacks with the fire wings, but you are not considered proficient with them and thus suffer a – 4 penalty on your attack rolls. A successful unarmed strike deals 2d6 points of fire damage in addition to your normal unarmed attack damage.

The wings can be extinguished (and the spell canceled) by a quench spell, immersion in water, or a wind of hurricane or greater force.

Focus: A golden amulet shaped like a phoenix.

Languor

Transmutation

This spell causes creatures it hits to become weak and slow. A subject who fails a Will save is slowed as the spell and suffers a cumulative enhancement penalty to Strength equal to 1d6–1 per two caster levels (minimum additional penalty of 0, maximum of –10) each round. If the subject’s Strength drops below 1, it is helpless. The spell’s slow effect counters and is countered by haste. However, the Strength penalty is not countered by haste.

Poison Thorns

Transmutation

Black, glistening thorns emerge from your skin, causing you no damage but endangering those who attack you in melee. Any creature grappling with you or striking you with handheld weapons or natural weapons takes 1d6 + your Strength bonus in piercing damage from the thorns that protect you. Weapons with exceptional reach, such as longspears, do not endanger their users in this way. You can’t use the thorns yourself to attack; they’re effective only when someone attacks you.

Furthermore, a scratch from the thorns is sufficient to deliver a dose of poison to your attacker. Any creature grappling you is exposed to the poison each round at the start of your turn. The poison from the thorns deals 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage immediately and another 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage 1 minute later. Each instance of damage can be negated by a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your caster level + your Wisdom modifier).

Scent

Transmutation

You give the target an enhanced sense of smell, equivalent to the scent ability of some monsters. This ability allows the creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.

Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights. The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.

When a creature detects a scent, the exact location is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a partial action to note the direction of the scent. If it moves within 5 feet of the source, the creature can pinpoint that source.

A creature with the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on the strength of the quarry’s odor, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2.535 The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.

Arcane material components: A sprinkle of mustard and pepper, and a drop of sweat.

Spikes

Transmutation

As brambles, except that the affected weapon gains a +2 enhancement bonus on its attacks, and its threat range is doubled.

Standing Wave

Transmutation

You command the waters to lift a creature or object and propel it forward. An object so lifted may contain creatures or other objects. What the wave can lift depends on your caster level. Standing wave moves the lifted creature or object in a straight line at a speed of 60 feet over water. The spell dissipates when the wave contacts land, lowering its burden harmlessly to shore.

Stormrage

Transmutation [Electricity]

You harness the powers of wind and storm to move, protect yourself, and attack. You gain the benefits of a fly spell, and are protected from each direction as if surrounded by a wind wall spell. You are completely unaffected by natural or magical wind (such as a hurricane or gust of wind spell), easily able to hold your position and completely uninhibited by other adverse effects of extreme wind (such as having to make Concentration checks because of strong winds).

Finally, you can discharge bolts of electricity from your eyes. Your caster level is the total number of d6 that you can create with this spell (maximum 20d6). You may use them all at once or divide the dice over several rounds.

For example, a 16th-level caster can fire an 8d6 bolt on one round and another 8d6 bolt on the next, fire sixteen bolts over 16 or more rounds (each doing 1d6 electricity damage), or make one large bolt that deals 16d6.

Each bolt affects only one creature. Launching a bolt is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, has a range of 100 feet, and requires a ranged touch attack (you gain a +3 attack bonus if the opponent is wearing metal armor, made out of metal, or carrying a lot of metal).

Subvert Planar Essence

Transmutation

Outsiders within the emanation of a subvert planar essence spell find their connection disrupted with the planar forces that created them. Outsiders who fail their saves have their damage reduction and spell resistance each reduced by 10 points. For example, a barbed devil subject to subvert planar essence would have no damage reduction and SR 13, while a pit fiend would have damage reduction of 5/good and silver and SR 22.

Outsiders attempt Fortitude saves and check SR when they first enter the spell’s area. If they make their save or the spell fails to overcome their SR, they’re thereafter unaffected by that casting of subvert planar essence and can enter and exit the spell area without making further saves. Outsiders who fail their saves or whose SR is overcome by the spell are affected as long as they remain within the spell area, and they are automatically affected if they leave and reenter the spell area.

Tortoise Shell

Transmutation

Tortoise shell grants the armor plating of a tortoise across a creature’s torso and a tough, leathery skin elsewhere. The effect grants a +6 enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural Armor Class. This enhancement bonus increases by 1 for every three caster levels above 11th, to a maximum of +9 at 20th level.

The enhancement bonus provided by tortoise shell stacks with the target’s natural armor bonus, but not with other enhancement bonuses to natural armor. A creature without natural armor has an effective natural armor bonus of +0, much as a character wearing only normal clothing has an armor bonus of +0.

Tortoise shell slows a creature’s movement as if it were wearing heavy armor. An elf subject to tortoise shell, for example, would have a speed of 20 feet and would run at 60 feet per round. The spell affects only a creature’s speed; tortoise shell doesn’t have an armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance.

Traveler’s Mount

Transmutation

This spell makes a mount better able to handle the rigors of overland travel, at the expense of its will to fight. The touched animal or magical beast gets a +10 feet enhancement bonus to its speed, and it can hustle without taking damage or becoming fatigued as long as the spell is in effect). However, the mount no longer attacks in combat. The steed willingly bears its rider into battle; it just can’t use its own natural weapons for the duration of the spell.

Unyielding Roots

Transmutation

The creature you touch grows thick tree roots that anchor him to the ground and provide him with life-sustaining healing. (If the creature you touch isn’t touching the ground, the unyielding roots spell has no effect).

For the duration of the spell, the touched creature can’t move from his current space, nor can he be moved from his space by bull rushes, overruns, magic such as Bigby’s forceful hand, or any effect short of a massive earthquake. Such attempts simply fail.

If an overrun attempt is made against a creature with unyielding roots, the rooted creature must block rather than avoid the overrun. The rooted creature automatically wins the Strength check to stop the overrun and can make a Strength check (opposed by the overrunning creature’s Strength or Dexterity check) to knock the overrunning creature prone.

The roots draw life energy from the ground that feed the touched creature, healing up to 30 points of damage per round, neutralizing poisons automatically, and wiping away negative levels (as the restoration spell). The touched creature gets a +4 bonus on Fortitude and Will saves as long as the roots remain, but a –4 penalty on Reflex saves.

Visage of the Deity

Transmutation [Evil, Good]

As lesser visage of the deity, but you take on all the qualities of a celestial or fiendish creature (see the Monster Manual for complete details):

• You take on a shining, metallic appearance (for good clerics) or a more fearsome appearance (for evil clerics).

• You gain the ability to smite evil (for good clerics) or good (for evil clerics) once a day. Add your Charisma modifier to your attack roll and your character level to your damage roll against a foe of that alignment.

• You gain darkvision to a range of 60 ft.

• You gain acid, cold, and electricity resistance 20 (for good clerics) or cold and fire resistance 20 (for evil clerics).

• You gain damage reduction 10/magic.

• You gain spell resistance 20.

Your creature type does not change (you do not become an outsider).

Visage of the Deity, Greater

Transmutation [Evil, Good]

As lesser visage of the deity, except that you take on the qualities of a half-celestial or half-fiend (see the Monster Manual for complete details). You do not gain the spell-like abilities of these creatures. Your creature type changes to outsider for the duration of the spell. Unlike other outsiders, you can be brought back from the dead if you are killed in this form.

Good clerics undergo the following transformations:

• You grow feathered wings that allow you to fly at twice your normal speed (good maneuverability).

Visage of the Deity, Lesser

Transmutation [Evil, Good]

When you cast this spell, your body changes into a form more like your deity’s (in a very limited fashion, of course). You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to your Charisma score. You also gain resistance 10 to two or three energy types: acid, cold, and electricity if you are good; cold and fire if you are evil.

Weapon of the Deity

Transmutation

You must be using your deity’s favored weapon to cast this spell. You may use the weapon as if you had proficiency with it even if you normally do not. The weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls and an additional special ability (see the list below). A double weapon gains this enhancement bonus and special ability for only one of its two heads, as chosen by the caster.

When you reach 9th caster level, the enhancement bonus of the weapon increases to +2. At 12th level, the bonus rises to +3, at 15th level it is +4, and at 18th level it is +5.

The list below includes deities from the core pantheon only, along with the five alignment components.

If a cleric worshiping a different deity casts this spell, the DM should assign an appropriate special property of the same power level as those listed here.

Winged Mount

Transmutation

This spell causes your mount to sprout giant, feathery white wings. This grants the mount a fly speed of 60 ft., with a maneuverability of good. The mount is slowed as normal for weight carried, barding worn, and environmental factors.
