Spells

Acid Fog

conjuration (creation) [acid]

This spell's vapors are highly acidic. Each round, starting when you cast the spell, the fog deals 2d6 points of acid damage to creatures and objects within it.

Aid

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

The subject is encouraged just as with bless (+1 morale bonus to attack rolls and saves against fear effects), plus it gains 1d8 temporary hit points.

Air Walk

transmutation

The transmuted creature can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at a rate equal to one-half the creature's normal speed.

A strong wind (21+ mph) can push an air walker along or hold her back. At the end of her turn each round, the wind blows her 5 feet for each 5 miles per hour of wind speed. The creature can, at the DM's option, be subject to additional penalties in exceptionally strong or turbulent winds, such as loss of control over movement or suffering physical damage from being buffeted about.

You can cast air walk on a specially trained mount so it can be ridden through the air. You train a mount to air walk with the Handle Animal skill (air walking counts as an unusual task).

Alarm

abjuration

Alarm sounds a mental or audible alarm each time a creature of Tiny or larger size enters the warded area or touches it. A creature who speaks the password (determined by you at the time of casting) does not set off the alarm. You decide at the time of casting whether the alarm will be mental or audible.

Mental Alarm: A mental alarm alerts you (and only you) so long as you remain within a mile of the warded area. You note a single mental "ping" that awakens you from normal sleep but does not otherwise disturb concentration. A silence spell has no effect on a mental alarm.

Audible Alarm: An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell, and anyone within 60 feet of the warded area can hear it clearly. Reduce the distance by 10 feet for each interposing closed door and by 20 feet for each substantial interposing wall. In quiet conditions, the ringing can be heard faintly up to 180 feet away. The ringing lasts for 1 round. Creatures within a silence spell cannot hear the ringing.

Ethereal or astral creatures do not trigger the alarm unless the intruder becomes material while in the warded area.

Alter Self

transmutation

You can alter your appearance and form-including clothing and equipment-to appear taller or shorter, thin, fat, or in between. The assumed form must be corporeal. Your body can undergo a limited physical transmutation, including adding or subtracting one or two limbs, and your weight can be changed up to one-half. If the form selected has wings, You can fly at a speed of 30 feet with poor maneuverability. If the form has gills, you can breathe underwater.

Your attack rolls, natural armor bonus, and saves do not change. The spell does not confer special abilities, attack forms, defenses, ability scores, or mannerisms of the chosen form. Once the new form is chosen, it remains for the duration of the spell. If you are slain, you automatically returns to your normal form.

If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on your Disguise check.

Analyze Dweomer

divination

You discern spells and magical properties present in a creature or object. One property, spell, or power is revealed each round, from lowest level (or weakest power) to highest (or strongest). For each spell or power, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level). If the result is equal to or higher than the spell's or power's caster level, you identifie it. Otherwise, you fail to identify that spell or power, and you can check for the next one next round.

Analyze dweomer does not function when used on an artifact.

After you analyze one object or creature, the spell ends, even if its duration has not expired yet. Casting this spell is physically taxing; You mut make a Fortitude save (DC 21) when the spell ends or be exhausted and unable to do anything but rest for the next 1d8 hours.

Animal Friendship

enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]

You win the loyalty of an animal, provided that your heart is true. The spell functions only if you actually wishes to be the animal's friend. If you are not willing to treat the animal as a friend (for example, you intend to eat it, or to use it to set off traps), the spell fails. An animal's loyalty, once gained, is natural (not magical) and lasting.

You can teach the befriended animal three specific tricks or tasks for each point of Intelligence it possesses. Typical tasks are coming when called, rolling over on command, fetching, or shaking hands. They cannot be complex (complex tricks, such as accepting a rider, require the Handle Animal skill).

At any one time, you can have only a certain number of animals befriended to you. You can have animal friends whose Hit Dice total no more than twice your caster level. You may dismiss animal friends to enable you to befriend new ones.

Animal Growth

transmutation

A number of animals grow to twice their normal size. This doubles each animal's height, length, and width, increasing its weight by a factor of eight. This increase in size has a number of effects:

Hit Dice: The creature's HD double, doubling the creature's base attack bonus and increasing its saves accordingly.

Size: The creature's size increases one step. This increase reduces its AC (according to the new size), reduces its attack bonus (according to the new size), affects its ability to grapple, and so on. The creature gains an enlargement bonus to Strength and Constitution scores, and its damage with natural attacks increases. This spell does not affect Colossal creatures.

When the spell ends, the creature's hit points return to normal, and all damage the creature has taken while enlarged is divided by 2.

The spell gives you no special means of command or influence over the enlarged animals.

Animal Messenger

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

You compel a Tiny animal to go to a spot you designate. The most common use for this spell is to get the animal to carry a message to your allies. The animal cannot be one tamed or trained by someone else.

Using some type of food desirable to the animal as a lure, you call the animal to you. It advances and awaits your bidding. you can mentally impress on the animal a certain place well known to you or an obvious landmark (such as the peak of a distant mountain or mouth of a nearby river). The directions must be simple, because the animal depends on your knowledge and can't find a destination on its own. You can attach some small item or note to the messenger. The animal then goes to the designated location and waits there until the duration of the spell expires, whereupon it resumes its normal activities.

During this period of waiting, the messenger allows others to approach it and remove any scroll or token it carries. Note that unless the intended recipient of a message is expecting a messenger in the form of a bird or other small animal, the carrier may be ignored. The intended recipient of a message gains no special ability to communicate with the animal or read any attached message (if it's in a language she doesn't know, for example).

The spell works only on animals with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2.

Animal Shapes

transmutation

As polymorph other, except you polymorph up to one willing creature per level into an animal of your choice; the spell has no effect on unwilling creatures. Recipients remain in the animal form until the spell expires or you dismisse the spell for all recipients. In addition, an individual subject may choose to resume her normal form (as a full-round action); doing so ends the spell for her and her alone.

The allowed size of the animal form depends on your level:

Creatures polymorphed by this spell don't suffer the disorientation penalty that those transformed by polymorph other often do.

Animal Trance

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting sonic]

Your swaying motions and music (or singing, or chanting) compel animals, beasts, and magical beasts to do nothing but watch you. Only creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or 2 can be affected by this spell. Roll 2d6 to determine the total number of HD that you entrance. The closest targets are selected first until no more targets within range can be affected.

Animals trained to attack or guard, beasts, and magical beasts are allowed saving throws; animals not trained to attack or guard are not. An entranced creature can be struck (with a +2 bonus to the attack roll, as if it were stunned), but it then recovers from the compulsion and is no longer affected by the spell.

Animate Dead

necromancy [evil]

This spell turns the bones or bodies of dead creatures into undead skeletons or zombies that follow your spoken commands. The skeletons or zombies can follow you, or can remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific type of creature) entering the place. The undead remain animated until they are destroyed. (A destroyed skeleton or zombie can't be animated again.)

Regardless of the type of undead, you can't create more HD of undead than you have caster levels with a single casting of animate dead.

The undead you create remain under your control indefinitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 2 HD worth of undead creatures per caster level. If you exceed this number, all the newly created creatures fall under your control, and any excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled (you choose which creatures are released). If you are a cleric, any undead you might command by virtue of your power to command or rebuke undead do not count toward the limit.

Skeletons: A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones (so purple worm skeletons are not allowed). If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the flesh falls off the bones. The statistics for a skeleton depend on its size; they do not depend on what abilities the creature may have had while alive.

Zombies: A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse. The creature must have a true anatomy (so gelatinous cube zombies are not allowed). The statistics for a zombie depend on its size, not on what abilities the creature may have had while alive.

Material Component: You mut place a black onyx gem worth at least 50 gp into the mouth or eye socket of each corpse. The magic of the spell turns these gems into worthless, burned-out shells.

Animate Dead Familiar

necromancy [evil]

In order to cast this spell, you must have a familiar, and that creature must be dead. You animate the dead familiar as a zombielike undead, restoring some measure of the bond you had with it while it lived.

You do not regain the experience points you lost when the familiar died. You also lose the special benefits you gained based on the familiar's animal type (such as the +2 bonus to Move Silently checks bestowed by a cat familiar). Being undead, the creature has no Constitution score, which affects its Fortitude saves but not its hit points. It retains its natural armor and its preternatural Intelligence, as well as all of the special abilities it had based on your level except for the ability to speak with animals of its type. It still has effective Hit Dice equal to your level and hit points equal to half your total hit points.

The undead familiar resembles a zombie, but is not slow like a zombie. Its type changes to Undead. As an undead creature, it is immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. It is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage. If you are within range of the familiar's empathic link with you (one mile), it cannot be turned or rebuked. Beyond that range, it is subject to turning and rebuking (as well as commanding and destroying) as an undead of its effective Hit Dice.

In addition, the familiar gains a special attack delivered by a melee attack. The nature of this attack depends on your caster level at the time you cast this spell; it does not improve as your level increases. You may choose a lower-level ability than your level indicates.

If the undead familiar is destroyed, you lose experience points as if you had lost a living familiar (again). The corpse is utterly destroyed in this case, and cannot be animated via this spell again, nor can it be restored to life with a raise dead spell (resurrection will work, however).

You cannot cast this spell on another character's familiar.

Animate Objects

transmutation

You imbue inanimate objects with mobility and a semblance of life. The animated object, or objects, then attack whomever or whatever you initially designates. The animated object can be of any nonmagical material-wood, metal, stone, fabric, leather, ceramic, glass, etc. You can also animate masses of raw matter, such as water, a rock from a wall or a rock on the ground, as long as the volume of material does not exceed 1 cubic foot per caster level.

The spell cannot animate objects carried or worn by a creature.

Animate Rope

transmutation

You can animate a nonliving ropelike object, including string, yarn, cord, line, rope, or even a cable. The maximum length assumes a rope with a 1-inch diameter. Reduce the total length by 50% for every additional inch of thickness, and increase the length by 50% for each reduction of the rope's width by half. The possible commands are "Coil" (form a neat, coiled stack), "Coil and knot," "Loop," "Loop and knot," "Tie and knot," and the opposites of all of the above ("Uncoil," etc.). One command can be given each round as a standard action.

The rope can enwrap only a creature or an object within 1 foot of it-it does not snake outward-so it must be thrown near the intended target. Doing so requires a successful ranged touch attack roll. The rope has a range increment of 10 feet. A typical rope has 2 hit points, AC 10, and can be burst with a Strength check (DC 23). The rope does not deal damage of any type, but it can be used as a trip line or to entangle a single opponent who fails a Reflex saving throw. An entangled creature suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls and a -4 penalty to effective Dexterity. If the rope can anchor itself to an immobile object, the entangled creature cannot move. Otherwise, it can move at half speed but can't run or charge. A creature capable of spellcasting that is bound by this spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15) to cast a spell. An entangled creature can slip free with an Escape Artist check (DC 20).

The rope itself, and any knots tied in it, are not magical.

This spell grants a +2 bonus to any Use Rope checks you make when using the transmuted rope.

Antilife Shell

abjuration

You bring into being a mobile, hemispherical energy field that prevents the entrance of most sorts of living creatures. The effect hedges out animals, aberrations, beasts, magical beasts, dragons, fey, giants, humanoids, monstrous humanoids, oozes, plants, shapechangers, and vermin, but not constructs, elementals, outsiders, or undead.

Note: This spell may be used only defensively, not aggressively; forcing an abjuration barrier against creatures whom the spell keeps at bay collapses the barrier.

Antimagic Field

abjuration

An invisible barrier surrounds you and moves with you. The space within this barrier is impervious to most magical effects, including spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. Likewise, it prevents the functioning of any magic items or spells within its confines.

An antimagic field suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area, but does not dispel it. Time spent within an antimagic field counts against the suppressed spell's duration.

Golems and other magical constructs, elementals, outsiders, and corporeal undead, still function in an antimagic area (though the antimagic area suppresses their supernatural, spell-like, and spell abilities normally). If such creatures are summoned or conjured, however, see below.

Summoned or conjured creatures of any type and incorporeal undead wink out if they enter an antimagic field. They reappear in the same spot once the field goes away. Time spent winked out counts normally against the duration of the conjuration that's maintaining the creature. If you cast antimagic field in an area occupied by a conjured creature who has spell resistance, you mut make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against the creature's SR to make it wink out. (The effects of instantaneous conjurations, such as create water, are not affected by the antimagic field because the conjuration itself is no longer in effect, only its result.)

Normal creatures can enter the area, as can normal missiles. The spell has no effect on constructs that are imbued with magic during their creation process and are thereafter self-supporting (unless they have been summoned, in which case they are treated like any other summoned creatures). Undead and outsiders are likewise unaffected unless summoned. These creatures' spell-like or supernatural abilities, however, may be temporarily nullified by the field.

Dispel magic does not remove the field. Two or more antimagic fields sharing any of the same space have no effect on each other. Certain spells, such as wall of force, prismatic sphere, and prismatic wall remain unaffected by antimagic field (see the individual spell descriptions). Artifacts and creatures of demigod or higher status are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.

Note: Should you be larger than the area enclosed by the barrier, any part of your person that lies outside the barrier is unaffected by the field.

Antipathy

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

You cause an object or location to emanate magical vibrations that repel either a specific type of intelligent creature or creatures of a particular alignment, as defined by you. The particular type of creature to be affected must be named specifically-for example, red dragons, hill giants, wererats, lammasu, cloakers, or vampires. Larger groups, such as "goblinoids," are not specific enough. Likewise, the specific alignment must be named-for example, chaotic evil, chaotic good, lawful neutral, or true neutral.

Creatures of the designated type or alignment feel an overpowering urge to leave the area or to avoid the affected item. A compulsion forces them to abandon the area or item, shunning it and never willingly returning to it while the spell is in effect. A creature who makes a successful saving throw can stay in the area or touch the item, but feels very uncomfortable doing so. This distracting discomfort reduces the creature's Dexterity score by 4 points.

Antipathy counters and dispels sympathy.

This spell cannot be cast upon living creatures.

Antiplant Shell

abjuration

The antiplant shell spell creates an invisible, mobile barrier that keeps all creatures within the shell protected from attacks by plant creatures or animated plants. As with many abjuration spells, forcing the barrier against creatures whom the spell keeps at bay strains and collapses the field.

Arcane Bolt

evocation [force]

A bolt of magical energy shoots forth from your fingertips at its target, dealing 1d6+1 points of damage.

For every two levels of experience past 1st, you gain an additional bolt, which you fire at the same time. You have two at 3rd level, three at 5th level, four at 7th level, and the maximum of five bolts at 9th level or higher. If you shoot multiple bolts, you can have them strike a single creature or several creatures. A single bolt can strike only one creature. You must designate targets before you roll for SR or roll damage.

This spell counts as magic missile for spell, items, or special qualities that protect a target from magic missile, such as a brooch of shieldingand shield.

Arcane Eye

divination

You create an invisible magical sensor that sends you viual information. The arcane eye travels at 30 feet per round (300 feet per minute) if viewing an area ahead as a human would (primarily looking at the floor) or 10 feet per round (100 feet per minute) if examining the ceiling and walls as well as the floor ahead. The arcane eye sees exactly as you would see if you were there. The arcane eye can travel in any direction as long as the spell lasts. Solid barriers prevent the passage of an arcane eye, although it can pass through a space no smaller than a small mouse hole (1 inch in diameter).

You mut concentrate to use the eye. If you doe not concentrate, the eye is inert until you again concentrates. The powers of the eye cannot be enhanced by other spells or items (though you can use magic to improve your own eyesight). You are subject to any gaze attack met by the eye. A successful dispel magic cast on you or the eye ends the spell. With respect to blindness, magical darkness, and other phenomena that affect vision, the arcane eye is considered an independent sensory organ of your. (For example, it is not blinded if your normal eyes are blinded.)

Any creature with Intelligence 12 or higher can notice the arcane eye by making a Scry check or an Intelligence check (DC 20). Spells such as detect scrying can also detect the eye.

Arcane Lock

abjuration

An arcane lock spell cast upon a door, chest, or portal magically locks it. You can freely pass your own lock without affecting it; otherwise, a door or object secured with arcane lock can be opened only by breaking in or by a successful dispel magic or knock spell. Add +10 to the normal DC to break open a door or portal affected by this spell. Note that a knock spell does not remove an arcane lock. It only suppresses it for 10 minutes.

Arcane Mark

universal

This spell allows you to inscribe your personal rune or mark, which can be no taller than 6 inches in height and consist of no more than six characters. The writing can be visible or invisible. An arcane mark spell enables you to etch the rune upon any substance (even stone or metal) without harm to the material upon which the mark is placed. If an invisible mark is made, a detect magic spell causes it to glow and be visible (though not necessarily understandable). See invisibility, true seeing, a gem of seeing, or a robe of eyes likewise allows their users to see an invisible arcane mark. A read magic spell reveals the words, if any. The mark cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed by the caster or by an erase spell. If cast on a living being, normal wear gradually causes the mark to fade in about a month.

Arcane mark must be cast on an object prior to casting Drawmij's instant summons on the same object (see that spell description for details).

Astral Projection

necromancy

Freeing your spirit from your physical body, this spell allows you to project an astral body into another plane altogether. You can bring the astral forms of other creatures with you, provided the creatures are linked in a circle with you at the time of the casting. These fellow travelers are dependent upon you and must accompany you at all times. If something happens to you during the journey, the companions are stranded wherever you left them.

You project your astral self into the Astral Plane, leaving your physical body behind on the Material Plane in a state of suspended animation. The spell projects an astral copy of you and all you wear or carries onto the Astral Plane. Since the Astral Plane touches upon other planes, you can travel astrally to any of these other planes as you wishe. You then leaves the Astral Plane, forming a new physical body (and equipment) on the plane of existence you have chosen to enter.

When on the Astral Plane or another plane, your astral body is connected at all times to your material body by a silvery cord. If the cord is broken, you are killed, astrally and materially. Luckily, very few things can destroy a silver cord. When a second body is formed on a different plane, the incorporeal silvery cord remains invisibly attached to the new body. If the second body or the astral form is slain, the cord simply returns to your body where it rests on the Material Plane, reviving it from its state of suspended animation. Although astral projections are able to function on the Astral Plane, their actions affect only creatures existing on the Astral Plane; a physical body must be materialized on other planes.

You and your companions may travel through the Astral Plane indefinitely. Your bodies simply wait behind in a state of suspended animation until you choose to return to the physical body. The spell lasts until you desire to end it, or until it is terminated by some outside means, such as dispel magic cast upon either the physical body or the astral form, or the destruction of your body back on the Material Plane (which kills you).

Material Components: The components must be worth at least 1,000 gp, plus a 5 gp worth of silver for each person to be affected.

Atonement

abjuration

This spell removes the burden of evil acts or misdeeds from the subject. The creature seeking atonement must be truly repentant and desirous of setting right its misdeeds. If the atoning creature committed the evil act unwittingly or under some form of compulsion, atonement operates normally at no cost to you. However, in the case of a creature atoning for deliberate misdeeds and acts of knowing and willful nature, you mut intercede with your deity at the cost of 500 experience points in order to expunge the subject's burden. Naturally, many casters first assign a subject of this sort a quest (see geas/quest) or similar penance to determine if the creature is truly contrite before casting the atonement spell on its behalf.

Atonement may be cast for one of several purposes, depending on the version selected:

Reverse Magical Alignment Change: If a creature has had its alignment magically changed, atonement returns its alignment to its original status at no cost in experience points.

Restore Class: A paladin who has lost her class features due to unwillingly or unwittingly committing an evil act may have her paladinhood restored to her by this spell. Note: A paladin who willingly and deliberately commits an evil act can never regain her paladinhood.

Restore Cleric or Druid Spell Powers: A cleric or druid who has lost his ability to cast spells because he incurred the anger of his deity may regain his spell powers by seeking atonement from another cleric of the same deity or another druid. If the transgression was intentional, the casting cleric loses 500 XP for his intercession. If the transgression was unintentional, he does not lose XP.

Redemption or Temptation: You may cast this spell upon a creature of an opposing alignment in order to offer it a chance to change its alignment to match your. The prospective subject must be present for the entire casting process. Upon completion of the spell, the subject freely chooses whether it retains its original alignment or acquiesces to your offer and changes to your alignment. No duress, compulsion, or magical influence can force the subject to take advantage of the opportunity offered if it is unwilling to abandon its old alignment. This use of the spell does not work on outsiders (or any creature incapable of changing its alignment naturally).

Note: Normally, changing alignment is up to the player (for PCs) or the DM (NPCs). This use of atonement simply offers a believable way for a character to change her alignment drastically, suddenly, and definitively.

Augury

divination

An augury can tell you whether a particular action will bring good or bad results for you in the immediate future.

The base chance for receiving a meaningful reply is 70% + 1% per caster level; the DM makes the roll secretly. The DM may determine that the question is so straightforward that a successful result is automatic, or so vague as to have no chance of success. If the augury succeeds, you get one of four results:

• "Weal" (if the action will probably bring good results).
• "Woe" (for bad results).
• "Weal and woe" (for both).
• "Nothing" (for actions that don't have especially good or bad results).

If the spell fails, you get the "nothing" result. A cleric who gets the "nothing" result has no way to tell whether it resulted from a failed or successful augury.

The augury can see into the future only about half an hour, so anything that might happen after that does not affect the augury. Thus, it might miss the long-term consequences of the contemplated action. All auguries cast by the same person about the same topic use the same dice result as the first augury.

Awaken

transmutation

You awaken a tree or animal to humanlike sentience. To succeed, you mut make a Will save (DC 10 + the target's HD, or the HD the tree will have once awakened).

The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you. You have no special empathy or connection with a creature you awaken, although it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you can communicate your desires to it.

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

An awakened animal gets 3d6 Intelligence, +1d3 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).

Ball Lightning

Evocation [electricity]

You create one 3-foot-diameter ball of concentrated electricity per 2 levels (maximum 15 balls) that shed light as candles and move under your control. A ball of lightning deals 2d6 points of electricity damage to anything it touches, including creatures that attack it or move through it. When you create the balls of lightning, you mentally program them to move as you desire, even around corners. Once programmed, a ball's orders cannot be changed. A ball can move up to 100 feet per round and flies with perfect maneuverability. When a lightning ball strikes a creature, the ball stops and remains in place for the remainder of the spell's duration. A ball dissipates if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range. A ball can only "see" under the available light conditions (including the light the ball itself sheds).

For example, you could program one lightning ball to follow the left wall of a corridor and strike the first creature it "sees," another to follow the right wall and do the same, and the remainder to follow 5 feet behind you in a semicircle. The first two lightning balls would turn corners to remain following the walls, even if this took them out of your line of sight, and strike the first creature they "see," which would cancel their program and leave them in their target's square. Directing the balls is a free action on the round the spell is cast and a move-equivalent action on any other round.

A creature struck by a lightning ball or that touches one with natural or melee weapons gets a Reflex saving throw for half damage. Damage from multiple balls resting in the same square stacks. A creature struck by multiple balls of lightning in a round (or entering a square with multiple lightning balls) gets a saving throw for each. A creature with SR makes separate SR checks against each lightning ball, with success meaning that ball cannot harm the creature.

A handful of copper and iron pellets.

Bane

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

Bane fills your enemies with fear and doubt. They suffer a -1 morale penalty on their attack rolls and a -1 morale penalty on saving throws against fear effects.

Bane counters and dispels bless.

Banishment

abjuration

A banishment spell is a more powerful version of the dismissal spell. It enables you to force extraplanar creatures out of your home plane. Up to 2 HD of creatures per caster level can be banished. To target a creature, you mut present at least one object or substance that it hates, fears, or otherwise opposes. For each such object or substance, you gain +1 on your caster level check to overcome the target's SR (if any) and +2 on the saving throw DC.

At the DM's option, certain rare items might work twice as well (each providing +2 against SR and +4 on the spell's DC).

Barkskin

transmutation

Barkskin makes a creature's skin as tough as bark. The effect grants a +3 natural armor bonus to AC. This bonus increases to +4 at 6th level and to +5 at 12th level and up.

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 above, for further details.

Material Component: The mannequin from which the bogun is created.

XP Cost: 25 XP.

Bestow Curse

transmutation

You place a curse on the creature touched. You choose one of the three following effects, depending on the version selected:

• -6 effective decrease to an ability score (minimum 1).
• -4 enhancement penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.
• Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, he takes no action.

You may also invent your own curse, but it should be no more powerful than those listed above, and the DM has final say on the curse's effect.

The curse cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell.

Bestow curse counters remove curse.

Bigby's Clenched Fist

evocation

As Bigby's interposing hand, except it moves and attacks as directed by you. (You direct it as a free action.) The floating hand can move up to 60 feet and can attack in the same round. Since this hand is directed by you, its ability to notice or attack invisible or concealed creatures is no better than your.

The hand attacks once per round, and its attack bonus equals your level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (for a wizard, cleric, or sorcerer, respectively), +11 for the hand's Strength score (33), -1 for being Large. The hand's damage is 1d8+12, and any creature struck must make a Fortitude save (against this spell's save DC) or be stunned for 1 round. A stunned creature can't act and loses any Dexterity bonus to AC. Attackers gain +2 bonuses to attack it.

Bigby's Crushing Hand

evocation

As Bigby's interposing hand, except the hand can interpose itself, push, or crush one opponent that you select.

The crushing hand can interpose itself as Bigby's interposing hand does, or it can bull rush an opponent as Bigby's forceful hand does, but at +18 on the Strength check.

The crushing hand can grapple an opponent as Bigby's grasping hand does, but with a +12 bonus for the hand's Strength score (35). The hand deals 2d6+12 points of grapple damage (normal, not subdual).

Bigby's Forceful Hand

evocation

As Bigby's interposing hand, except the forceful hand pursues and pushes away the opponent that you designate. Treat this as a bull rush with a +14 bonus on the Strength check (+8 for Strength 27, +4 for being Large, and +2 for charging bonus, which it always gets). The hand always moves with the opponent to push him back the full distance allowed, and it has no speed limit.

A very strong creature could not push the hand out of its way (because the hand would instantly reposition itself between the creature and you), but it could push the hand up against you by successfully bull rushing the hand.

Bigby's Grasping Hand

evocation

As Bigby's interposing hand, except the hand can also grapple one opponent that you select. The grasping hand gets one grappling attack per round. Its attack bonus to make contact is your level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (for wizards, clerics, and sorcerers, respectively), +10 for the hand's Strength score (31), -1 for being Large. Its grapple check is this same figure, except with +4 for being Large instead of -1. It holds but does not harm creatures it grapples.

The grasping hand can also bull rush an opponent as Bigby's forceful hand does, but at +16 on the Strength check, or interpose itself as Bigby's interposing hand does.

Bigby's Interposing Hand

evocation

Bigby's interposing hand creates a Large magic hand that appears between you and one opponent. This floating, disembodied hand then moves to remain between the two, regardless of where you move or how the opponent tries to get around it, providing nine-tenths cover (+10 AC) for you againt that opponent. Nothing can fool the hand-it sticks with the selected opponent in spite of darkness, invisibility, polymorphing, or any other attempt to hide or disguise himself. The hand does not pursue an opponent, however.

A Bigby's hand is 10 feet long and about that wide with its fingers outstretched. It has as many hit points as you when undamaged, and its AC is 20 (-1 size, +11 natural). It takes damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that don't cause damage do not affect it. The hand cannot push through a wall of force or enter an antimagic field. It suffers the full effects of a prismatic wall or prismatic sphere. The hand makes saving throws as its caster. Disintegrate or a successful dispel magic destroys the hand.

Any creature weighing less than 2,000 pounds trying to push past the hand is slowed to half its normal speed. If the opponent weighs more than 2,000 pounds, the hand cannot reduce its speed but still affects the opponent's attacks.

By concentrating (as a standard action), you can designate a new opponent for the hand.

Binding

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

A binding spell creates a magical restraint to hold a creature. The target only gets an initial saving throw if its HD is equal to at least half your caster level.

You may have up to six assistants help you with the spell. For each assistant who casts suggestion, your caster level for this casting of the spell increases by +1. For each assistant who casts dominate animal, dominate person, or dominate monster, your effective level increases by a number equal to one-third that assistant's level (provided the target is appropriate for the spell). All the assistants must join in chanting the spell (see the details on the spell's verbal component, below). Your caster level determines whether the target gets an initial Will saving throw and how long the binding lasts. All binding durations are dismissible.

The binding spell has six versions. Choose one of the following versions when you cast the spell.

Chaining: The subject is confined by restraints that generate an antipathy spell affecting all creatures who approach the subject, except you. Duration is one year per caster level. The subject of this form of binding is confined to the spot it occupied when it received the spell.

Slumber: Brings a comatose sleep upon the subject for up to one year per caster level. The subject does not need to eat or drink while slumbering, nor does it age. This form of binding is more difficult to cast than chaining, making it slightly easier to resist. Reduce the spell's save DC by 1.

Bound Slumber: A combination of chaining and slumber that lasts for up to one month per caster level. Reduce save DC by 2.

Hedged Prison: The subject is transported to or otherwise brought within a confined area (such as a labyrinth) from which it cannot wander by any means. The spell is permanent. Reduce save DC by 3.

Metamorphosis: The subject assumes gaseous form, except for its head or face. It is held harmless in a jar or other container, which may be transparent (your choice). The creature remains aware of its surroundings and can speak, but cannot leave the container, attack, or use any of its powers or abilities. The binding is permanent. The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while metamorphosed, nor does it age. Reduce save DC by 4.

Minimus Containment: The subject is shrunk to a height of 1 inch or even less and held within some gem or similar object or jar. The binding is permanent. The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while contained, nor does it age. Reduce save DC by 4.

Regardless of the version of binding you cat, you can specify triggering conditions that end the spell and release the creature whenever they occur. These can be as simple or elaborate as you desire (but the DM must agree that the condition is reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass). The conditions can be based on a creature's name, identity, or alignment but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities. Intangibles such as level, class, HD, or hit points don't qualify. For example, a bound creature can be released when a lawful good creature approaches, but not when a paladin approaches. Once the spell is cast, its triggering conditions cannot be changed. Setting a release condition increases the save DC (assuming a saving throw is allowed) by +2.

In the case of the first three versions of binding (those with limited durations), you may cast additional binding spells to prolong the effect (the durations overlap). If you doe so, the target gets a saving throw at the end of the first spell's duration (even if your caster level was high enough to disallow an initial saving throw). If the creature succeeds at this save, all the binding spells it has received are broken.

Components: Specially made props suited to the specific type of binding (cost 500 gp), plus the spell requires gems worth at least 500 gp for each HD of the target.

Bite of the Werebear

Transmutation

You take on certain qualities of a brown bear, almost as though you were a werebear in hybrid form (if werebears had hybrid forms). You gain a +16 enhancement bonus to your Strength score, a +2 enhancement bonus to your Dexterity score, and a +8 enhancement bonus to your Constitution score. Your face becomes that of a bear and your hands become massive paws with sharp claws. These paws burden you with a 25% spell failure chance when you cast any spell with a somatic component (even a divine spell).

You can attack with both claws at your full base attack bonus and your bite at only 2 from your full attack bonus (as if you had the Multiattack feat). The claws deal 1d8 points of damage each (1d6 if you are Small), and the bite deals 2d8 (2d6 if you are Small). You gain the benefits of the Blind-Fight and Power Attack feats as well, and a +7 natural armor bonus.

Material Component: Hair from a werebear.

Bite of the Wererat

transmutation

You take on certain qualities of a dire rat, almost as though you were a wererat in hybrid form. You gain a +6 enhancement bonus to your Dexterity score and a +2 enhancement bonus to your Constitution score. You gain a +3 natural armor bonus as your hide thickens and sprouts extra hair. Your face lengthens into a ratlike snout, and you can attack with your bite as a natural weapon without provoking an attack of opportunity. The bite deals 1d4 points of damage, or 1d3 points if you are Small. You also gain the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with your bite attack.

Arcane Material Component: Hair from a wererat.

Bite of the Weretiger

transmutation

You take on certain qualities of a tiger, almost as though you were a weretiger in hybrid form. You gain a +12 enhancement bonus to your Strength score, a +4 enhancement bonus to your Dexterity score, and a +6 enhancement bonus to your Constitution score. Your face lengthens into a tigerlike muzzle and your fingernails grow into sharp claws. You can attack with both claws at your full base attack bonus and your bite at only 2 from your full attack bonus (as if you had the Multiattack feat). The claws deal 1d8 points of damage each (1d6 if you are Small), and the bite deals 2d6 (2d4 if you are Small). You gain the benefits of the Blind-Fight and Power Attack feats as well, and a +5 natural armor bonus.

Material Component: Hair from a weretiger.

Bite of the Werewolf

Transmutation

You take on certain qualities of a wolf, almost as though you were a werewolf in hybrid form. You gain a +2 enhancement bonus to your Strength score, a +4 enhancement bonus to your Dexterity score, and a +4 enhancement bonus to your Constitution score. Your face lengthens into a wolflike muzzle, and you can attack with your bite if you choose, dealing 1d6 points of damage (or 1d4 points if you are Small) on a hit. You gain the benefits of the Blind-Fight feat as well, and a +4 natural armor bonus.

Material Component: Hair from a werewolf.

Blade Barrier

evocation

This spell creates a spinning disk of razor-sharp blades. These whirl and flash around a central point, creating an immobile, circular barrier. Any creature passing through the blade barrier takes 1d6 points of slashing damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). The plane of rotation of the blades can be horizontal, vertical, or slanted.

Creatures within the blade barrier when it is invoked take the damage as well. They can negate the damage with a successful Reflex saving throw, provided they can and do physically leave the area of the blades by the shortest possible route. Once the barrier is in place, anything entering or passing through the blades automatically takes damage.

A blade barrier serves as one-half cover (+4 AC) for anyone beyond it.

Bladesong

transmutation

Bladesong makes a bladed weapon emit magical music in combat. Any round that the weapon is used in melee combat, this spell allows the wielder to make a single, additional touch attack with the sword as a free action. The attack uses the wielder's normal attack bonus with that weapon but inflicts no damage. Instead, anyone successfully touched by the weapon in this way is dazed for one round. Dazed characters cannot take actions but can defend themselves normally.

Blasphemy

evocation [evil sonic]

Uttering blasphemy creates two effects.

If you are on your home plane, nonevil extraplanar creatures within the area are instantly banished back to their home planes. Creatures so banished cannot return for at least 1 day. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creatures hear the blasphemy.

Creatures native to your plane who hear the blasphemy and are not evil suffer the following ill effects:

The effects are cumulative.

Dazed: The creature is dazed and can take no actions for 1 round (but defends itself normally).

Weakened: The creature's Strength score decreases by 2d6 points for 2d4 rounds.

Paralyzed: The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes, unable to move or act in any way.

Killed: Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed.

Bless

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

Your allies gain a morale bonus of +1 on their attack rolls and a morale bonus of +1 on saving throws against fear effects.

Bless counters and dispels bane.

Bless Water

transmutation [good]

This transmutation imbues a flask (1 pint) of water with positive energy, turning it into holy water. Holy water is considered blessed, which means it has special effects on certain creatures.

Material Component: Worth at least 25 gp.

Bless Weapon

transmutation

All critical rolls against evil foes are automatically successful (so every threat is a critical hit). The weapon negates the damage reduction of evil creatures and is capable of striking evil incorporeal creatures as if it had a +1 enhancement bonus. Also, the weapon is considered blessed, which means it has special effects on certain creatures. Individual arrows or bolts can be transmuted, but affected projectile weapons (such as bows) don't confer the benefit to the projectiles they shoot.

This transmutation can't affect any weapon that already has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as a keen weapon or a vorpal sword.

Blindness/Deafness

transmutation

The subject becomes blinded or deafened, as you choose. In addition to the obvious effects, a blinded creature suffers a 50% miss chance in combat (all opponents have full concealment), loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, grants a +2 bonus to attackers' attack rolls (they are effectively invisible), moves at half speed, and suffers a -4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skills. A deafened character, in addition to the obvious effects, automatically fails Listen checks, suffers a -4 penalty on initiative and has a 20% chance to miscast and lose any spell with a verbal (V) component that he tries to cast.

Blink

transmutation

The blink effect rapidly cycles you in and out of the ethereal plane. Blinking has several effects:

Physical attacks suffer a 50% miss chance, and the Blind-Fight feat doesn't help (since the blinker is ethereal and not merely invisible). If the attack is capable of striking ethereal or incorporeal creatures, the miss chance is only 20% (for one-half concealment). If the attacker can see invisible creatures, the miss chance is also only 20%. If the attacker can both see and strike ethereal creatures, he suffers no penalty. Likewise, your own attacks suffer a 20% miss chance, since you sometime goes ethereal just as you are about to strike.

Individually targeted spells have a 50% chance to fail against you while blinking unless your attacker can target invisible, ethereal creatures. Likewise, your own spells have a 20% chance to activate just as you goe ethereal, in which case they typically do not affect the Material Plane.

While blinking, you take only half damage from area attacks (or full damage from those that extend onto the Ethereal Plane). You strike as an invisible creature (+2 attack), denying your target any Dexterity bonus to AC. You suffer only half damage from falling, since you fall only while you are material.

While blinking, you can step through (but not see through) solid objects. For each 5 feet of solid material you walk through, there's a 50% chance that you become material, with regrettable consequences (see below). You can move only at three-quarters speed: Movement on the Ethereal Plane is at half speed, and you spend about half your time there and half your time material.

Since you spend about half your time on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and even attack ethereal creatures. You interact with ethereal creatures roughly the same way you interact with material ones. For instance, your spells against ethereal creatures are 20% likely to activate just as you goe material and be lost.

An ethereal creature who becomes material while in a material object is shunted off to the nearest open space and takes 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet so traveled.

Blood Sirocco

evocation

Blood sirocco creates a hot, stifling wind that tears across the landscape, kicking up clouds of dust and sand and moving in the direction you are facing. The force of the blood sirocco automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish these lights. Creatures caught in the area of this severe wind may be affected (see Dungeon Master's Guide for details about severe wind effects on creatures). Any creature is entitled a saving throw each round to ignore the effects of the blood sirocco.

Those who fail to save against the stifling winds of a blood sirocco quickly become dehydrated (see page 86 of the Dungeon Master's Guide) as the supernatural winds blow through their bodies, carrying away tiny streamers of blood and moisture and carrying it on the wind as a fine mist. Each round an affected creature remains in the area of effect and fails a Fortitude saving throw, this leaching of blood causes 1d6 points of damage and 1 point of temporary Strength damage. Additionally, a creature that suffers damage from a blood sirocco is dazed and can take no actions for 1 round. He can defend himself from attack. (Undead and constructs are not subject to any of these dehydration effects.)

If cast in an already dry region, such as in a desert, the blood sirocco's duration increases by a number of rounds equal to the caster's Wisdom bonus.

Blur

illusion (glamer)

The subject's outline appears blurred, shifting and wavering. This distortion grants the subject one-half concealment (20% miss chance).

A see invisibility spell does not counteract the blur effect, but a true seeing spell does.

Note: Opponents who cannot see the subject ignore the spell's effect.

Break Enchantment

abjuration

This dispelling spell frees creatures from enchantments, transmutations, curses, and petrification (as well as other magical transformations). Break enchantment can reverse even an instantaneous effect, such as flesh to stone. For each such effect, you make a check of 1d20 + caster level (maximum +15) against a DC of 11 + caster level of the effect. Success means that the creature is free of the spell, curse, or effect. For cursed magic items, the DC is 25.

If the spell is one that, as a special property, cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, break enchantment works only if that spell is 5th level or lower.

If the effect comes from some permanent magic item, such as a cursed sword, break enchantment does not remove the curse from the item but merely frees the victim from the item's effects, leaving the item cursed.

Bull's Strength

transmutation

The spell grants an enhancement bonus to Strength of 1d4+1 points, adding the usual benefits to melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, and other uses of the Strength modifier.

Burning Hands

transmutation [fire]

A thin sheet of searing flame shoots from your outspread fingertips. You mut hold your hands with your thumbs touching and your fingers spread. The sheet of flame is about as thick as your thumbs. Any creature in the area of the flames takes 1d4 points of fire damage per your caster level (maximum 5d4). Flammable materials such as cloth, paper, parchment, and thin wood burn if the flames touch them.

Call Lightning

evocation [electricity]

To cast call lightning, you mut be in a stormy area - a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinn or air elemental of 7 HD or more). You are then able to evoke bolts of lightning as long as you remain in the stormy area. (The spell ends if you leave the stormy area.) You can call down one bolt every 10 minutes. You need not call a bolt of lightning immediately - other actions, even spellcasting, can be performed. However, you mut use a standard action (concentrating on the spell) to call each bolt. A bolt causes 1d10 points of electrical damage per caster level (maximum 10d10).

The bolt of lightning flashes down in a vertical stroke at whatever target point you chooe, within range (measured from your position at the time). The bolt takes the shortest possible unobstructed path between a nearby cloud and the target. Any creature within a 10-foot radius of the path or the point where the lightning strikes is affected.

This spell can be used only outdoors. It does not function indoors, underground, or underwater.

Call Zelekhut

Conjuration (calling) [lawfull]

By casting this spell, you request the aid of a zelekhut inevitable. If you know an individual zelekhut's name, you may request that individual by speaking the name during the spell (though you might get a different creature, anyway).

You may ask the zelekhut to perform one duty for you. The task must be in harmony with its lawful objective, and must take no more than five days to complete. Zelekhuts hunt down those who would deny justice or seek to flee to escape punishment. The inevitable does not ask for any payment for the task. After five days, or if asked to do something nonlawful, frivolous, or not focused on its lawful objective, the zelekhut will leave.

XP Cost: 100 XP.

Calm Animals

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

This spell soothes and quiets animals, beasts, and magical beasts, rendering them docile and harmless. Only creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or 2 can be affected by this spell. All the subjects must be of the same species and within a 30-foot sphere. Roll 2d4 + caster level to determine the total number of HD affected. Animals trained to attack or guard, dire animals, beasts, and magical beasts are allowed saving throws. Animals not trained to attack or guard are not.

The affected creatures remain where they are and do not attack or flee. They are not helpless and defend themselves normally if attacked. Any threat (fire, a hungry predator, an imminent attack) breaks the spell on the threatened creatures.

Calm Emotions

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

This spell calms agitated creatures. You have no control over the affected creatures, but this spell can stop raging creatures from fighting. Creatures so affected cannot take violent actions (although they can defend themselves) or do anything destructive, except to protect themselves. Any aggressive action or life-threatening damage against calmed creatures immediately breaks the spell on the threatened creatures.

This spell automatically suppresses (but does not dispel) mind-affecting spells such as bless, confusion, emotion, and fear, as well as negating a bard's ability to inspire courage or a barbarian's rage. While the calm emotions spell lasts, a suppressed spell has no effect. When the calm emotions spell ends, the original spell takes hold of the creature again, provided its duration has not expired in the meantime.

Cat's Grace

transmutation

The spell grants an enhancement bonus to Dexterity of 1d4+1 points, adding the usual benefits to AC, Reflex saves, and other uses of the Dexterity modifier.

Cause Fear

necromancy [fear mind-affecting]

The affected creature becomes frightened. It suffers a -2 morale penalty on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saving throws. It flees from you a well as it can. If unable to flee, the creature may fight. Creatures with 6 or more Hit Dice are immune. Cause fear counters remove fear.

Chain Lightning

evocation [electricity]

This spell creates an electrical discharge that begins as a single stroke commencing from your fingertips. Unlike lightning bolt, chain lightning strikes one object or creature initially, then arcs to other targets.

The bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) on the primary target. After the bolt strikes, lightning can arc to as many secondary targets as you have levels. The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal half as many dice of damage as the primary (rounded down). All subjects can attempt Reflex saving throws for half damage. You choose secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum (to avoid allies in the area, for example).

Change Self

illusion (glamer)

You make yourself - including clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment - look different. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller, thin, fat, or in between. You cannot change your body type. For example, a human caster could look human, humanoid, or like any other generally human-shaped bipedal creature. Otherwise, the extent of the apparent change is up to you. You could add or obscure a minor feature, such as a mole or a beard, or look like an entirely different person.

The spell does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen form. It does not alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of you or your equipment. A battleaxe made to look like a dagger still functions as a battleaxe.

If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on the Disguise check.

Note: Creatures get Will saves to recognize the glamer as an illusion if they interact with it (such as by touching you and having that not match what they see, in this case of this spell).

Changestaff

transmutation

You change a specially prepared quarterstaff into a Huge treantlike creature, about 24 feet tall. When you plant the end of the staff in the ground and speak a special command to conclude the casting of the spell, your staff turns into a creature who looks and fights just like a treant. The staff-treant defends you and obeys any spoken commands. However, it is by no means a true treant; it cannot converse with actual treants or control trees. If the staff-treant is reduced to 0 hit points or less, it crumbles to powder and the staff is destroyed. Otherwise, the staff can be used as the focus for another casting of the spell. The staff-treant is always at full strength when created, despite any wounds it may have suffered the last time it appeared.

Chaos Hammer

evocation [chaotic]

You unleashe chaotic power to smite your enemies. The power takes the form of a multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy. Only lawful and neutral (not chaotic) creatures are harmed by the spell.

The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to lawful creatures and staggers them for 1d6 rounds. A staggered character can take only partial actions. A successful Will save reduces the damage by half and negates the stagger effect.

The spell deals only half damage against creatures who are neither lawful nor chaotic, and they are not staggered. They can reduce the damage by half again (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.

Charm Monster

enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]

As charm person, except that the spell is not restricted by creature type or size.

Charm Person

enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]

This charm makes a humanoid of Medium-size or smaller regard you a his trusted friend and ally. If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, he receives a +5 bonus on his saving throw.

The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if he were an automaton, but he perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you mut win an opposed Charisma check to convince him to do anything he wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries not allowed.) A charmed person never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. Note also that you mut speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

Charm Person or Animal

enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]

As charm person, except that it can also affect an animal.

Chill Metal

transmutation [cold]

Chill metal makes metal extremely cold. Unattended, nonmagical metal gets no saving throw. Enchanted metal is allowed a saving throw against the spell. An item in a creature's possession uses the creature's saving throw (unless its own is higher).

A creature takes cold damage if its equipment is chilled. It takes full damage if its armor is affected or if it's holding, touching, wearing, or carrying metal weighing one-fifth of its weight. The creature takes minimum damage (1 point or 2 points; see the table) if it's not wearing metal armor and the metal that it's carrying weighs less than one-fifth of its weight.

On the first round of the spell, the metal becomes very chilly and uncomfortable to touch but deals no damage (this is also the effect on the last round of the spell's duration). During the second (and also the next-to-last) round, icy coldness causes pain and damage. In the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, the metal is freezing cold, causing more damage, as shown below:

Any heat intense enough to damage the creature negates cold damage from the spell (and vice versa) on a point-for-point basis. For example, if the damage roll from a chill metal spell indicates 5 points of cold damage and the creature plunges through a wall of fire in the same round and takes 8 points of fire damage, it winds up taking no chill damage and only 3 points of fire damage. Underwater, chill metal deals no damage, but ice immediately forms around the affected metal, making it more buoyant.

Chill metal counters and dispels heat metal.

Chill Touch

necromancy

A touch from your hand, which glows with blue energy, disrupts the life force of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage and possibly also 1 point of temporary Strength damage. (A successful Fortitude saving throw negates the Strength damage.) You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

The spell has a special effect on undead creatures. Undead touched by you suffer no damage or Strength loss, but they must make successful Will saving throws or flee as if panicked for 1d4 rounds +1 round per caster level.

Circle of Death

necromancy [death]

A circle of death snuffs out the life forces of living creatures, killing them instantly.

The spell slays 1d4 HD worth of living creatures per caster level (maximum 20d4). Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first; among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the point of origin of the burst are affected first. No creature with 9 or more HD is affected, and HD that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.

Material Component: Minimum value of 500 gp.

Circle of Doom

necromancy

Negative energy bursts in all directions from the point of origin, dealing 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20) to nearby living enemies.

Like inflict spells, circle of doom cures undead in its area rather than harming them.

Clairaudience/Clairvoyance

divination

Clairaudience/clairvoyance enables you to concentrate upon some locale and hear or see (your choice) almost as if you were there. Distance is not a factor, but the locale must be known - a place familiar to you or an obvious one (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees). The spell does not allow magically enhanced senses to work through it. If the chosen locale is magically dark, you see nothing. If it is naturally pitch black, you can see in a 10-foot radius around the center of the spell's effect. Lead sheeting or magical protection (such as antimagic field, mind blank, or nondetection) blocks the spell, and you sense that the spell is so blocked. The spell creates an invisible sensor, similar to that created by a scrying spell, that can be dispelled. The spell functions only on the plane of existence you are currently occupying.

Cloak of Chaos

abjuration [chaotic]

A random pattern of color surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by lawful creatures, and confusing lawful creatures when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects:

First, the warded creatures gain a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus to saves. Unlike protection from law, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by lawful creatures.

Second, the warded creatures gain SR 25 against lawful spells and spells cast by lawful creatures.

Third, the abjuration blocks possession and mental influence, just as protection from law does.

Finally, if a lawful creature succeeds with a melee attack against a warded creature, the offending attacker is confused for 1 round (Will save negates, as confusion, but against the save DC of cloak of chaos).

Clone

necromancy

This spell makes an inert duplicate of a creature. If the original individual has been slain, the original's soul transfers to the clone, creating a replacement (provided the soul is free and willing to return). The original's physical remains, should they still exist, become inert matter and cannot thereafter be restored to life. If the original has reached the end of its natural life span (died of natural causes), any cloning attempt fails.

To create the duplicate, you mut have a piece of flesh (not hair, nails, scales, or the like) taken from the original's living body, with a volume of at least 1 cubic inch. The piece of flesh need not be fresh, but it must be kept from rotting (such as by the gentle repose spell). Once the spell is cast, the duplicate must be grown in a laboratory for 2d4 months.

When the clone is completed, if the original is dead, the original's soul enters the clone. The clone has the personality, memories, skills, and levels the original had at the time the piece of flesh was taken. However, the replacement must be at least one level lower than the original was at the time of death. If the original was 1st level, the clone's Constitution score drops by 1; if this would give the clone a Constitution score of 0, the spell fails. If the original creature has lost levels since the flesh sample was taken and died at a lower level than the clone would otherwise be, the clone is at the level at which the original died.

The spell duplicates only the original's body and mind, not its equipment.

A duplicate can be grown while the original still lives, or when the original soul is unavailable, but the resulting creature is merely a soulless bit of inert flesh, which rots if not somehow preserved.

Arcane Material Components: The piece of flesh and various laboratory supplies (cost 1,000 gp).

Cloudkill

conjuration (creation)

This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a fog cloud except that its vapors are ghastly yellowish green and poisonous. They kill any living creature with 3 or fewer HD (no save) and cause creatures with 4 to 6 HD to make Fortitude saving throws or die. Living creatures above 6 HD, and creatures of 4 to 6 HD who make their saving throws, take 1d10 points of poison damage each round while in the cloud. Holding one's breath doesn't help.

Unlike a fog cloud, the cloudkill moves away from you at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground. (Figure out the cloud's new spread each round based on its new point of origin, 10 feet farther away from the point of origin where you cat the spell.) Because the vapors are heavier than air, they sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down den or sinkhole openings. It cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater.

Color Spray

illusion (pattern) [mind-affecting]

A vivid cone of intertwined, clashing colors springs forth from your hand, stunning creatures, blinding them, or even knocking them unconscious. The closest 1d6 creatures in the cone are affected. The spell affects each subject according to its HD:

Up to 2: Unconscious for 2d4 rounds, then blinded for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)

3 or 4: Blinded for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.

5 or more: Stunned for 1 round.

In addition to the obvious effects, a blinded creature suffers a 50% miss chance in combat (all opponents have full concealment), loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, grants a +2 bonus to attackers' attack rolls (they are effectively invisible), moves at half speed, and suffers a -4 penalty on Search checks and most Strength- and Dexterity-based skills.

A stunned creature can't act and loses any Dexterity bonus to AC. Attackers gain +2 bonuses to attack it.

Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray.

Command

enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent mind-affecting]

You give the subject a one-word command, which she obeys to the best of her ability. A very reasonable command causes the subject to suffer a penalty on the saving throw (from -1 to -4, at the DM's discretion). Typical commands are "Flee," "Die" (which causes the subject to feign death), "Halt," "Run," "Stop," "Fall," "Go," "Leave," "Surrender," and "Rest." (A command of "Suicide" fails because "suicide" is generally used as a noun, not as a command.)

Command Plants

enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]

Plants, fungi, plant creatures, and fungus creatures do your bidding.

Charm: Against plant creatures and fungus creatures, command plants functions as a mass charm spell. You can command a number of plant creatures whose combined level or HD do not exceed three times your level (or at least one creature regardless of HD). No two affected creatures can be more than 30 feet from each other, and each is allowed a Will saving throw to negate the effect. Spell resistance applies. The effect lasts 1 day per caster level. This is a charm effect.

Animate: The spell imbues trees or other large, inanimate vegetable life with mobility. The animated plants then attack whomever or whatever you firt designates. Animated plants gain humanlike senses. The plants' AC, speed, attacks, and special abilities vary with their size and form, as described for animated objects in the Monster Manual. You can animate two trees, four shrubs, or eight vines. All plants to be affected must be within 60 feet of each other. You can animate different types of plants if desired (for example, one tree and four vines or a tree and two shrubs). Creatures who have the plants in their possession can prevent the effect with Will saves or spell resistance. The effect lasts 1 hour per caster level.

Entangle: you imbue all plants within range with semimobility, which allows them to entwine around creatures in the area. This duplicates the effect of an entangle spell. Spell resistance does not keep creatures from being entangled. The effect lasts 1 hour per caster level.

Commune

divination

You can contact your deity - or agents thereof - and ask questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no. (A cleric of no particular deity contacts a philosophically allied deity.) You are allowed one such question per caster level. The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity's knowledge. "Unclear" is a legitimate answer, because powerful beings of the Outer Planes are not necessarily omniscient. In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading or contrary to the deity's interests, the DM should give a short phrase (five words or less) as an answer instead. The spell, at best, provides information to aid character decisions. The entities contacted structure their answers to further their own purposes. If you doen't focus on the conversation, discusses the answers at length with other parties, or leaves to undertake another task, the spell ends.

Commune with Nature

divination

You become one with nature, attaining knowledge of the surrounding territory. You intantly gain knowledge of up to three facts from among the following subjects: the ground or terrain, plants, minerals, bodies of water, people, general animal population, presence of woodland creatures, presence of powerful unnatural creatures, or even the general state of the natural setting.

In outdoor settings, the spell operates in a radius of one mile per caster level. In natural underground settings - caves, caverns, etc. The range is limited to 100 feet per caster level. The spell does not function where nature has been replaced by construction or settlement (such as in dungeons and towns).

Comprehend Languages

divination

You can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages (such as writing in another language). In either case, you mut touch the creature or the writing. Note that the ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. Note also that the spell enables you to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write it.

Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. Magical writing cannot be read, other than to know it is magical, but the spell is often useful when deciphering treasure maps. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the secret page and illusory script spells). It does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text.

Cone of Cold

evocation [cold]

Cone of cold creates an area of extreme cold, originating at your hand and extending outward in a cone. It drains heat, causing 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 15d6).

Confusion

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

Creatures affected by this spell behave randomly, as indicated on the following table:

Except on a result of 1, roll again each round to see what the subject does that round. Wandering creatures leave the scene as if disinterested. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking them. Behavior is checked at the beginning of each creature's turn. Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn.

Consecrate

evocation

This spell blesses an area with positive energy. All Charisma checks made to turn undead within this area gain a +3 sacred bonus. Undead entering this area suffer minor disruption, giving them a -1 sacred penalty on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. Undead cannot be created within or summoned into a consecrated area.

If the consecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to your deity, pantheon, or aligned higher power, the modifiers listed above are doubled (+6 sacred bonus to turning, -2 penalty to undead rolls). You cannot consecrate an area with a similar fixture of a deity other than your own patron.

Consecrate counters and dispels desecrate.

Material Components: Worth 25 gp.

Contact Other Plane

divination

You send your mind to another plane of existence in order to receive advice and information from powers there. (See the accompanying table for possible consequences and results of the attempt.)

Avoid Effective Intelligence/Charisma Decrease: You mut succeed at an Intelligence check against this DC in order to avoid effective Intelligence and Charisma decrease. If the check fails, your Intelligence and Charisma scores fall to 8 for the stated duration, and you become unable to cast arcane spells. If you lose Intelligence and Charisma, the effect strikes as soon as the first question is asked, and no answer is received. (The entries in parentheses are for questions that pertain to the appropriate Elemental Plane.)

Results of a Successful Contact: The DM rolls d% for the result shown on the table:

True Answer: You get a true, one-word answer. Questions not capable of being answered in this way are answered randomly.

Don't Know: The entity tells you that it doesn't know.

Lie: The entity intentionally lies to you.

Random Answer: The entity tries to lie but doesn't know the answer, so it makes one up.

The powers reply in a language you understand, but they resent such contact and give only brief answers to your questions. (The DM answers all questions with "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or some other one-word answer.) You mut concentrate on maintaining the spell (a standard action) in order to ask questions at the rate of one per round. A question is answered by the power during the same round. For every two caster levels, you may ask one question.

You can contact an Elemental Plane or some plane farther removed. Contact with minds far removed from your home plane increases the probability of suffering an effective decrease to Intelligence and Charisma, but the chance of the power knowing the answer, as well as the probability of the being telling the correct answer, are likewise increased by moving to distant planes. Once the Outer Planes are reached, the power of the deity contacted determines the effects. (Random results obtained from the table are subject to DM changes, the personalities of individual deities, and so on.)

On rare occasions, this divination may be blocked by an act of certain deities or forces.

Contagion

necromancy

The subject contracts a disease, which strikes immediately (no incubation period). You infect the subject with blinding sickness, cackle fever, filth fever, mindfire, red ache, the shakes, or slimy doom.

Contingency

evocation

You can place another spell upon your person so that the latter spell comes into effect under some condition you dictate when casting contingency. The companion spell and the spell it is to bring into effect are cast at the same time. The 10-minute casting time is the minimum total for both castings; if the companion spell has a casting time longer than 10 minutes, use that casting time instead.

The spell to be brought into effect by the contingency must be one that affects your person (feather fall, levitate, fly, teleport, and so forth) and be of a spell level no higher than one-third your caster level (rounded down, maximum 6th level).

The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. In all cases, the contingency immediately brings into effect the second spell, the latter being "cast" instantaneously when the prescribed circumstances occur. Note that if complicated or convoluted conditions are prescribed, the whole spell combination (contingency and the companion magic) may fail when called on. The companion spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether you want it to.

You can use only one contingency spell at a time; if a second is cast, the first one (if still active) is dispelled.

Material Components: Those of the companion spell, plus quicksilver and an eyelash of an ogre mage, ki-rin, or similar spell-using creature.

Continual Flame

illusion (figment)

A flame, equivalent in brightness to a torch, springs forth from an object that you touche. The flame looks like a regular flame, but it creates no heat and doesn't use oxygen. The flame can be covered and hidden but not smothered or quenched.

Material Component: Worth 50 gp.

Control Plants

transmutation

You can converse, in very rudimentary terms, with all sorts of plants and plantlike creatures (including fungi, molds, and plantlike monsters such as shambling mounds). You automatically exercises limited control over normal plants. Plantlike creatures can negate the control effect with a Will save.

The spell does not enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but it does allow them to move their branches, stems, and leaves. Thus, you can question plants as to whether or not creatures have passed through them, cause thickets to part to enable easy passage, require vines to entangle pursuers, and command similar services.

The plants can duplicate the effect of an entangle spell or free creatures trapped by that spell.

Control Undead

necromancy

This spell enables you to command undead creatures for a short period of time. You command the creatures by voice. Telepathic communication is not possible, but the creatures understand you no matter what language you speak. Even if vocal communication is impossible (in the area of a silence spell, for instance), the controlled undead do not attack you. At the end of the spell, the controlled undead revert to their normal behavior. Intelligent undead remember that you controlled them.

Control Water

transmutation

Depending on the version you choe, the control water spell raises or lowers water.

Lower Water: This causes water (or similar liquid) to sink away to a minimum depth of 1 inch. The depth can be lowered by up to 2 feet per caster level. The water is lowered within a squarish depression whose sides are up to 10 feet long per caster level. In extremely large and deep bodies of water, such as deep ocean, the spell creates a whirlpool that sweeps ships and similar craft downward, putting them at risk and rendering them unable to leave by normal movement for the duration of the spell. When cast on water elementals and other water-based creatures, this spell acts as a slow spell. The spell has no effect on other creatures.

Raise Water: This causes water (or similar liquid) to rise in height, just as the lower water version causes it to lower. Boats raised in this way slide down the sides of the hump that the spell creates. If the area affected by the spell includes riverbanks, a beach, or other land near the raised water, the water can spill over onto dry land.

For either version, you may reduce one horizontal dimension by half and double the other horizontal dimension.

Control Weather

transmutation

You change the weather in the local area. It takes 10 minutes to cast the spell and an additional 10 minutes for the effects to manifest. The current, natural weather conditions are determined by the DM. You can call forth weather appropriate to the climate and season of the area you are in.

You control the general tendencies of the weather, such as the direction and intensity of the wind. You cannot control specific applications of the weather - where lightning strikes, for example, or the exact path of a tornado. When you select a certain weather condition to occur, the weather assumes that condition 10 minutes later (changing gradually, not abruptly). The weather continues as you left it for the duration, or until you use a standard action to designate a new kind of weather (which fully manifests itself 10 minutes later). Contradictory conditions are not possible simultaneously - fog and strong wind, for example.

Control weather can do away with atmospheric phenomena (naturally occurring or otherwise) as well as create them.

Druids casting this spell double the duration and affect a circle with a three-mile radius.

Control Winds

transmutation

You alter wind force in the area surrounding you. You can make the wind blow in a certain direction or manner, increase its strength, or decrease its strength. The new wind direction and strength persist until the spell ends or you choose to alter your handiwork, which requires concentration. You may create an "eye" of calm air up to 80 feet in diameter at the center of the area if you so desires, and you may choose to limit the effect to any circular area less than your full range.

Wind Direction: You may choose one of four basic wind patterns to function over the spell's area:

• A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
• An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
• A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.
• A blast simply causes the winds to blow in one direction across the entire area from one side to the other.

Wind Force: For every three caster levels, you can increase or decrease wind force by one level of strength. Each round, a creature in the wind must make a Fortitude save or suffer the effect.

Strong winds (21+ mph) make sailing difficult. A severe wind (31+ mph) causes minor ship and building damage. A windstorm (51+ mph) drives most flying creatures from the skies, uproots small trees, knocks down light wooden structures, tears off roofs, and endangers ships. Hurricane force winds (75+ mph) destroy wooden buildings, sometimes uproot even large trees, and cause most ships to founder. A tornado (175+ mph) destroys all nonfortified buildings and often uproots large trees.

Create Food and Water

conjuration (creation)

The food that this spell creates is simple fare of your choice - highly nourishing, if rather bland. The food decays and becomes inedible within 24 hours, although it can be kept fresh for another 24 hours by casting a purify food and water spell on it. The water created by this spell is just like clean rain water. The water doesn't go bad as the food does.

Create Greater Undead

necromancy [evil]

As create undead, except that this spell allows you to create more powerful and intelligent sorts of undead. The type of undead created is based on your level. The following types of undead can be created by casters of the specified levels:

*Ghosts created by this spell have three ghostly powers in addition to manifestation: malevolence, horrific appearance, and corrupting gaze.

You may attempt to command the undead as it forms with a turning check.

Certain types of undead, such as liches, cannot be created by this spell. Such undead are created in other, very specific ways.

Create Undead

necromancy [evil]

A much more potent spell than animate dead, this evil spell allows you to create more powerful sorts of undead: ghasts, ghouls, shadow, wights, and wraiths. The following types of undead can be created by casters of the specified levels:

You may create less powerful undead than your level would indicate if you chose. For example, at 16th level you could decide to create a ghoul or shadow instead of a wight. Doing this may be a good idea, because created undead are not automatically under the control of their animator. You may attempt to command the undead as it forms.

This spell must be cast at night.

Material Components: The spell must be cast on a dead body, and the DM may assign specific requirements for various types of undead. You mut place a black onyx gem worth at least 50 gp per HD of the undead to be created into the mouth or eye socket of each corpse. The magic of the spell turns these gems into worthless shells.

Create Water

conjuration (creation)

This spell generates wholesome, drinkable water, just like clean rain water. Water can be created in an area as small as will actually contain the liquid, or in an area three times as large (possibly creating a downpour or filling many small receptacles).

Note: Conjuration spells can't create substances or objects within a creature. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. One cubic foot of water contains roughly 8 gallons and weighs about 60 pounds.

Creeping Doom

conjuration (summoning)

When you utter the spell of creeping doom, he or she calls forth a mass of 1,000 venomous, biting and stinging spiders, scorpions, beetles, and centipedes. This carpetlike mass swarms in a square 20 feet on a side. Upon your command, the swarm creeps forth at 10 feet per round toward any prey within 100 feet, moving in the direction you command. Each vermin in the creeping doom effect automatically bites a creature for 1 point of damage and then dies. Each creature takes enough damage to kill it, destroying that number of vermin in the process. Thus, a total of 1,000 points of damage can be inflicted on those in the creeping doom's effect. These attacks are nonmagical attacks, so creatures with damage reduction, for example, are safe.

If there aren't enough vermin to kill all the creatures in the spell's effect, damage is distributed among the survivors equally.

If creeping doom travels more than 100 feet away from you, it loses 50 of its number for each additional 10 feet it travels. For example, at 120 feet, its numbers have shrunk by 100. There are a number of ways to thwart or destroy the creatures forming the swarm. Anything that would deter or destroy normal insects is effective against these insects.

Cure Critical Wounds

conjuration (healing)

As cure light wounds, except cure critical wounds cures 4d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (up to +20).

Cure Light Wounds

conjuration (healing)

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (up to +5).

Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can attempt a Will save to take half damage.

Cure Minor Wounds

conjuration (healing)

As cure light wounds, except cure minor wounds cures only 1 point of damage.

Cure Moderate Wounds

conjuration (healing)

As cure light wounds, except cure moderate wounds cures 2d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (up to +10).

Cure Serious Wounds

conjuration (healing)

As cure light wounds, except cure moderate wounds cures 3d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (up to +15).

Curse Water

transmutation [evil]

This transmutation imbues a flask (1 pint) of water with negative energy, turning it into unholy water. Unholy water damages good outsiders the way holy water damages undead.

Material Component: Worth 25 gp.

Dancing Lights

illusion (figment)

Depending on the version selected, you create up to four lights that resemble lanterns or torches (and cast that amount of light), or up to four glowing spheres of light (which look like will-o'-wisps), or one faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape. The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required): forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, etc. The lights can move up to 100 feet a round. A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range.

Darkness

evocation [darkness]

This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a 20-foot radius. Not even creatures who can normally see in the dark (such as with darkvision) can see in an area shrouded in magical darkness. Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) do not work, nor do light spells of lower level (flare, light, dancing lights). Darkness and the 2nd-level spell daylight cancel each other, leaving whatever light conditions normally prevail in the overlapping areas of the spells. Higher-level light spells (such as the 3rd-level cleric spell daylight) are not affected by darkness.

If the spell is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

Darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level.

Darkvision

transmutation

The subject gains the ability to see 60 feet even in total darkness. Darkvision is black and white only but otherwise like normal sight. Darkvision does not grant one the ability to see in magical darkness.

Daylight

evocation [light]

The object touched sheds light as bright as full daylight in a 60-foot radius. Creatures who suffer penalties in bright light suffer them while exposed to this magical light. If the spell is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

Daylight brought into an area of magical darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.

Daylight counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level, such as darkness.

Daze

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

This enchantment clouds the mind of a humanoid of Medium-size or smaller so that he takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. The dazed subject is not stunned (so attackers get no special advantage against him), but he can't move, cast spells, use mental abilities, etc.

Death Knell

necromancy [death evil]

You draw forth the ebbing life force of a badly wounded creature and use it to fuel your own power. Upon casting this spell, you touche a living creature with -1 hit points or lower. If the subject fails its saving throw, it dies, and you gain 1d8 temporary hit points and +2 Strength. Additionally, your effective caster level goes up by +1, improving spell effects dependent on caster level. (This increase in effective caster level does not grant you acces to more spells.) These effects last for 10 minutes per HD of the target creature.

Death Ward

necromancy

The subject is immune to all death spells and magical death effects. The spell does not protect against other sorts of attacks, such as hit point loss, poison, petrification, or other effects even if they might be lethal.

Deathwatch

necromancy

Using the foul sight granted by the powers of unlife, you can determine the condition of creatures near death within the spell's range. You intantly knows whether each creature within the area is dead, fragile (alive and wounded, with 3 or fewer hit points left), fighting off death (alive with 4 or more hit points), undead, or neither alive nor dead (as a construct). This spell foils any spell or ability that allows creatures to feign death.

Deeper Darkness

evocation [darkness]

This spell causes the object touched to shed absolute darkness in a 60-foot radius. Even creatures who can normally see in the dark cannot see through this magical darkness. If the spell is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

Daylight brought into an area of deeper darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.

Deeper darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level, including daylight and light.

Delay Disease

conjuration (healing)

The subject becomes temporarily immune to the ravages of disease. The progress of any nonmagical disease that already afflicts the target is halted for the duration of the spell. Delay disease allows the subject to skip the required saving throw against the disease for the day that the spell is in effect. During this period, the subject accrues no further ability damage from the disease. A skipped saving throw counts as neither a success nor a failure for the purpose of recovery from the disease. Furthermore, the incubation period of any disease to which the subject is exposed during the spell's duration does not begin until the spell expires. Delay disease does not cure any damage that a disease may already have dealt, and it has no effect against magical or supernatural diseases.

Delayed Blast Fireball

evocation [fire]

As fireball, except this spell is more powerful and can detonate up to 5 rounds after the spell is cast. The burst of flame detonates with a low roar and delivers 1d8 points of fire damage per caster level.

The glowing bead created by the spell can detonate immediately if you desire, or you can choose to delay the burst for up to 5 rounds. You choose the amount of delay upon completing the spell, and the delay cannot change once it has been set (unless someone touches the bead; see below). If you choe a delay, the glowing bead sits at its destination until it detonates. A creature can pick up and hurl the bead as a thrown weapon (range increment 10 feet). If a creature handles and moves the bead within 1 round of its detonation, there is a 25% chance that the bead detonates while the creature is handling it.

Delay Poison

conjuration (healing)

The subject becomes temporarily immune to poison. Any poison in the subject's system, or any poison the subject is exposed to during the spell's duration, does not affect the subject until the spell has expired. Delay poison does not cure any damage that poison may have already done.

Demand

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

As sending, but the message can also contain a suggestion (see the suggestion spell), which the subject does her best to carry out. A successful Will save negates the suggestion effect but not the contact itself. The demand, if received, is understood even if the creature's Intelligence score is as low as 1. If the message is impossible or meaningless according to the circumstances that exist for the subject at the time the demand comes, the message is understood but the suggestion is ineffective.

The demand's message to the creature must be twenty-five words or less, including the suggestion. The creature can also give a short reply immediately.

Desecrate

evocation

This spell imbues an area with negative energy. All Charisma checks made to turn undead within this area suffer a -3 profane penalty. Undead entering this area gain a +1 profane bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. Undead created within or summoned into a desecrated area gain +1 hit points per HD.

If the desecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to your deity, pantheon, or aligned higher power, the effects are doubled (turning at -6, +2 profane bonuses to undead rolls, +2 hit points per HD).

If the area contains a similar fixture of a deity, pantheon, or higher power other than your patron, the desecrate spell instead curses the area, cutting off its connection with the associated deity or power. This secondary function, if used, does not also grant the bonuses to undead as listed above.

Desecrate counters and dispels consecrate.

Material Component: Worth 25 gp.

Destruction

necromancy [death]

This awful spell instantly slays the subject and consumes its remains utterly in holy (or unholy) fire. If the target's Fortitude saving throw succeeds, it instead takes 10d6 points of damage. The only way to restore life to a character who has failed to save against this spell is to use true resurrection, a carefully worded wish spell followed by resurrection, or miracle.

Detect Animals or Plants

divination

You can detect a particular type of animal or plant in a quarter circle emanating out from you in whatever direction you face. You mut think of a species of animal or plant when using the spell. Each round you can change the animal or plant type. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you searche a particular area or focus on a specific type of animal or plant:

1st Round: Presence or absence of the animal or plant type in that quarter.

2nd Round: Number of individuals of the specified type in the area, and the condition of the healthiest specimen.

3rd Round: The condition and location of each individual present. If an animal or plant is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Conditions: For purposes of this spell, the categories of condition are as follows:

Normal: Has at least 90% of original hit points, free of disease.

Fair: 30% to 90% of original hit points remaining.

Poor: Up to 30% of original hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease, or suffering from a debilitating injury.

Weak: 0 or fewer hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease in the terminal stage, or crippled.

If a creature falls into more than one category, the spell indicates the weaker of the two.

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 it.

The DM decides if a specific type of animal or plant is present.

Detect Chaos

divination

As detect evil, except that the spell detects chaotic creatures, spells, and magic items, and you are vulnerable to an overwhelming chaotic aura if you are lawful. It does not detect undead.

Detect Evil

divination

You can sense the presence of evil. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area or subject:

1st Round: Presence or absence of evil.

2nd Round: Number of evil auras (creatures, objects, or spells) in the area and the strength of the strongest evil aura present. If you are of good alignment, the strongest evil aura's strength is "overwhelming" (see below), and the strength is at least twice your character level, you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. While you are stunned, you can't act, you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC, and attackers gain +2 bonuses to attack you.

3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Aura Strength: An aura's evil power and strength depend on the type of evil creature or object that you are detecting and its HD, caster level, or (in the case of a cleric) class level.

If an aura falls into more than one strength category, the spell indicates the stronger of the two.

Length Aura Lingers: How long the aura lingers depends on its original strength:

Remember that animals, traps, poisons, and other potential perils are not evil; this spell does not detect them.

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 it.

Detect Good

divination

As detect evil, except that the spell detects good creatures, spells, and magic items, and you are vulnerable to an overwhelming good aura if you are evil. It does not detect undead. Also, remember that healing potions, antidotes, and similar beneficial items are not good.

Detect Law

divination

As detect evil, except that the spell detects lawful creatures, spells, and magic items, and you are vulnerable to an overwhelming lawful aura if you are chaotic. It does not detect undead.

Detect Magic

universal

You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area or subject:

1st Round: Presence or absence of magical auras.

2nd Round: Number of different magical auras and the strength of the strongest aura.

3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)

Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may confuse or conceal weaker auras.

Aura Strength: An aura's magical power and strength depend on a spell's functioning spell level or an item's caster level.

If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two.

Length Aura Lingers: How long the aura lingers depends on its original strength:

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 it. Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are conjured, the conjuration spell registers.

Detect Poison

divination

You determine whether a creature, object, or area has been poisoned or is poisonous. You can determine the exact type of poison with a successful Wisdom check (DC 20). A character with the Alchemy skill may try an Alchemy check (DC 20) if the Wisdom check fails, or may try the Alchemy check prior to the Wisdom check.

Note: 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 it.

Detect Scrying

divination

You immediately become aware of any attempt to observe you by means of clairaudience/clairvoyance or scrying. The spell's effect radiates from you and moves as you move. The spell also reveals the use of crystal balls or other magic scrying devices. You know the location of every magical sensor within the spell's area.

If the scrying attempt originates within the area, you alo knows its location. If the attempt originates outside this range, you and the scrier immediately make opposed Scry skill checks. (A Scry check is the same as an Intelligence check for a creature without the Scry skill.) If you at least matches the scrier's result, you get a visual image of the scrier and a sense of the scrier's direction and distance from you (accurate to within one-tenth the distance).

Detect Secret Doors

divination

You can detect secret doors, compartments, caches, and so forth. Only passages, doors, or openings that have been specifically constructed to escape detection are detected by this spell - an ordinary trapdoor underneath a pile of crates would not be detected. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area or subject:

1st Round: Presence or absence of secret doors.

2nd Round: Number of secret doors and the location of each. If an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Each Additional Round: The mechanism or trigger for one particular secret portal closely examined by you.

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 it.

Detect Snares and Pits

divination

You can detect simple pits, deadfalls, snares of wilderness creatures (trapdoor spiders, giant sundews, ant lions, etc.), and primitive traps constructed of natural materials (mantraps, missile traps, hunting snares, etc.). The spell does not detect complex traps, including trapdoor traps.

The spell does detect certain natural hazards - quicksand (registers as a snare), a sinkhole (pit), or unsafe walls of natural rock (deadfall). However, it does not reveal other potentially dangerous conditions, such as a cavern that floods during rain, an unsafe construction, or a naturally poisonous plant. The spell does not detect magic traps (except those that operate by pit, deadfall, or snaring; see the spell snare), nor mechanically complex ones, nor those that have been rendered safe or inactive.

The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area:

1st Round: Presence or absence of hazards.

2nd Round: Number of hazards and the location of each. If a hazard is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Each Additional Round: The general type and trigger for one particular hazard closely examined by you.

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 it.

Detect Thoughts

divination [mind-affecting]

You detect surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area or subject:

1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).

2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the mental strength of each.

3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target's Will save prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you mut cast detect thoughts again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts that you can pick up.

Note: Each round, you can turn to detect thoughts 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 it.

Detect Undead

divination

You can detect the aura that surrounds undead. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you studie a particular area or subject:

1st Round: Presence or absence of undead auras.

2nd Round: Number of undead auras in the area and the strength of the strongest undead aura present. If you are of good alignment, the strongest undead aura's strength is "overwhelming" (see below), and the strength is at least twice your character level, you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. While you are stunned, you can't act, you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC, and attackers gain +2 bonuses to attack you.

3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Aura Strength: The strength of the undead aura is determined by the HD of the undead creature.

Length Aura Lingers: How long the aura lingers depends on its original strength:

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 it.

Dictum

evocation [lawful sonic]

Uttering dictum creates two effects.

If you are on your home plane, nonlawful extraplanar creatures within the area are instantly banished back to their home planes. Creatures so banished cannot return for at least 1 day. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creatures hear the dictum.

Creatures native to your plane who hear the dictum and are not lawful suffer the following ill effects:

The effects are cumulative.

Deafened: The creature is struck deaf (see blindness/deafness) for 1d4 rounds.

Slowed: The creature is slowed, as by the slow spell, for 2d4 rounds.

Paralyzed: The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes, unable to move or act in any way.

Killed: Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed.

Dimensional Anchor

abjuration

A green ray springs from your outstretched hand. You mut make a ranged touch attack to hit the target. Any creature or object struck is covered with a shimmering emerald field that completely blocks bodily extradimensional travel. Forms of movement barred by the dimensional anchor include astral projection, blink, dimension door, ethereal jaunt, etherealness, gate, maze, plane shift, shadow walk, teleport, and similar spell-like or psionic abilities. It prevents the use of a gate or teleportation circle for the duration of the spell.

The dimensional anchor does not interfere with the movement of creatures already in ethereal or astral form when the spell is cast, nor does it block extradimensional perception or attack forms such as a basilisk's gaze. Also, it does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell.

Dimension Door

transmutation [teleportation]

You intantly transfers from your current location to any other spot within range. You alway arrives at exactly the spot desired - whether by simply visualizing the area or by stating direction, such as "900 feet straight downward," or "upward to the northwest, 45-degree angle, 1,200 feet." After using this spell, you can't take any other actions until your next turn.

If you arrive in a place that is already occupied by a solid body, you become trapped in the Astral Plane. Each round that you are trapped in the Astral Plane in this way, you may make a Will save (DC 25) to return to the Material Plane at a random open space on a suitable surface within 100 feet of the intended location. If there is no free space within 100 feet, make a Will save (DC 25) each minute to appear in a free space within 1,000 feet. If there's no free space within 1,000 feet, you are stuck on the Astral Plane until rescued.

Diminish Plants

transmutation

This spell has two versions:

Prune Growth: The first version causes normal vegetation (grasses, briars, bushes, creepers, thistles, trees, vines, and so forth) within long range (400 feet + 40 feet per level) to shrink to about a third of their normal size, becoming untangled and less bushy. The affected vegetation appears to have been carefully pruned and trimmed.

At your option, the area can be a circle with a radius of 100 feet, a semicircle with a radius of 150 feet, or a quarter circle with a radius of 200 feet. You may also designate areas within the area that are not affected.

Stunt: The second version targets normal plants within a range of one-half mile, reducing their potential productivity over the course of the following year to one-third below normal.

Diminish plants counters plant growth.

Dirge of Discord

enchantment (compulsion) [chaos sonic]

This the screams of the dying, the wailing of the damned, and the howling of the mad. Affected creatures suffer a -4 profane penalty to attack rolls and Concentration checks, a -8 enhancement penalty to effective Dexterity (with Reflex saves reduced accordingly for the spell's duration), and halved movement due to the subject's equilibrium being thrown off by the dirge.

Focus:A tiny urn containing some ashes of a destrachan.

Discern Lies

divination

Each round, you concentrate on one subject, who must be in range. You know if the subject deliberately and knowingly speaks a lie by discerning disturbances in her aura caused by lying. The spell does not reveal the truth, uncover unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal evasions. Each round, you may concentrate on a different subject.

Discern Location

divination

A discern location spell is among the most powerful means of locating creatures or objects. Nothing short of the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object. Discern location circumvents normal means of protection from scrying or location. The spell reveals the name of the location (place, name, business name, building name, or the like), community, county (or similar political division), country, continent, and plane where the subject lies.

To find a creature with the spell, you mut have seen the creature or have some item that once belonged to it. To find an object, you mut have touched the object at least once.

Disintegrate

transmutation

A thin, green ray springs from your pointing finger, causing the creature or object it strikes to glow and vanish, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. You mut make a successful ranged touch attack to hit. Up to a 10-foot cube of nonliving matter is affected, so the spell disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure targeted. The ray affects even magical matter or energy of a magical nature, such as Bigby's forceful hand or a wall of force, but not a globe of invulnerability or an antimagic field. A creature or object that makes a successful Fortitude save is only partially affected. It takes 5d6 points of damage instead of disintegrating. Only the first creature or object struck can be affected (that is, the ray affects only one target per casting).

Dismissal

abjuration

This spell forces an extraplanar creature back to its proper plane. Add the creature's HD to its saving throw and subtract your level as well. If the spell is successful, the creature is instantly whisked away, but there is a 20% chance of actually sending the subject to a plane other than its own.

Dispel Chaos

abjuration [lawful]

As dispel evil, except that you are surrounded by constant, blue, lawful energy, and the spell affects chaotic creatures and spells rather than evil ones.

Dispel Evil

abjuration [good]

Shimmering, white, holy energy surrounds you. This power has three effects:

1. You gain a +4 deflection bonus to AC against attacks by evil creatures.

2. On making a successful melee touch attack against an evil creature from another plane, you can choose to drive that creature back to its home plane. The creature negates the effects with a Will save (SR applies). This use discharges and ends the spell.

3. With a touch, you can automatically dispel any one enchantment cast by an evil creature or any one evil spell. Exception: Spells that can't be dispelled by dispel magic also can't be dispelled by dispel evil. Saving throws and SR do not apply to this effect. This use discharges and ends the spell.

Dispel Good

abjuration [evil]

As dispel evil, except that you are surrounded by dark, wavering, unholy energy, and the spell affects good creatures and spells rather than evil ones.

Dispel Law

abjuration [chaotic]

As dispel evil, except that you are surrounded by flickering, yellow, chaotic energy, and the spell affects lawful creatures and spells rather than evil ones.

Dispel Magic

abjuration

You can use dispel magic to end ongoing spells that have been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, to end ongoing spells (or at least their effects) within an area, or to counter another spellcaster's spell. A dispelled spell ends as if its duration had expired. Some spells, as detailed in their descriptions, can't be defeated by dispel magic. Dispel magic can dispel (but not counter) the ongoing effects of supernatural abilities as well as spells. Dispel magic affects spell-like effects just as it affects spells.

Note: The effects of spells with instantaneous duration can't be dispelled, because the magic effect is already over before the dispel magic can take effect.

You chooe to use dispel magic in one of three ways: a targeted dispel, an area dispel, or a counterspell:

Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the spell. You make a dispel check against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. A dispel check is 1d20 +1 per caster level (maximum +10) against a DC of 11 + the spell's caster level.

If the spellcaster targets an object or creature who is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by monster summoning), she makes a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature.

If the object that you target is a magic item, you make a dispel check against the item's caster level. If you succeed, all the item's magical properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers on its own. A suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration of the effect. An interdimensional interface (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily closed. Remember that a magic item's physical properties are unchanged: A suppressed magic sword is still a sword (a masterwork sword, in fact). Artifacts and creatures of demigod or higher status are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.

You automatically succeeds at the dispel check against any spell that you cat.

Area Dispel: The spell affects everything within a 30-foot radius.

For each creature who is the target of one or more spells, you make a dispel check against the spell with the highest caster level. If that fails, you make dispel checks against progressively weaker spells until you dispel one spell (which discharges the dispel so far as that target is concerned) or fail all your checks. The creature's magic items are not affected.

For each object that is the target of one or more spells, you make dispel checks as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by area dispels.

For each ongoing area or effect spell centered within the dispel magic's area, you make a dispel check to dispel the spell.

For each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the dispel, you make a dispel check to end the effect, but only within the area of the dispel magic.

If an object or creature who is the effect of an ongoing spell, such as a monster summoned by monster summoning, is in the area, you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel spells targeting the creature or object.

You may choose to automatically succeed at dispel checks against any spell that you cat.

Counterspell: The spell targets a spellcaster and is cast as a counterspell. Unlike a true counterspell, however, dispel magic may not work. You mut make a dispel check to counter the other spellcaster's spell.

Displacement

illusion (glamer)

Emulating the natural ability of the displacer beast, the subject appears to be about 2 feet away from his true location. He benefits from a 50% miss chance as if he had full concealment. However, unlike actual full concealment, displacement does not prevent enemies from targeting him normally. True seeing reveals his true location.

Disrupt Undead

necromancy

You direct a shock wave of positive energy. You mut make a ranged touch attack roll to hit, and if the ray hits an undead creature, it deals 1d6 points of damage to it.

Divination

divination

Similar to augury but more powerful, a divination spell can provide you with a useful piece of advice in reply to a question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity that is to occur within 1 week. The advice can be as simple as a short phrase, or it might take the form of a cryptic rhyme or omen.

In all cases, the DM controls what information you receive. Note that if your party doesn't act on the information, the conditions may change so that the information is no longer useful.

The base chance for a correct divination is 70% + 1% per caster level. The DM adjusts the chance if unusual circumstances require it (if, for example, unusual precautions against divination spells have been taken). If the dice roll fails, you know the spell failed, unless specific magic yielding false information is at work.

As with augury, multiple divinations about the same topic by the same caster use the same dice result as the first divination and yield the same answer each time.

Material Component: Worth at least 25 gp.

Divine Favor

evocation

Calling upon the strength and wisdom of a deity, you gain a +1 luck bonus to attack and weapon damage rolls for every three caster levels you have (at least +1, maximum +6). The bonus doesn't apply to spell damage.

Divine Interdiction

abjuration

Try these optional corollaries to the divine interdiction spell:

Spell Option A

At your DM's discretion, the effects of divine interdiction can include other turning-like abilities -- for example, it may also apply to a clerical (or other class) ability to command, rebuke, or turn elementals, outsiders, lycanthropes, or other types of creatures.

Spell Option B

Your DM also may choose to have divine interdiction temporarily negate any extraordinary, spell-like, or supernatural granted powers due to access to a spell domain. In this circumstance, special powers from domain access (such as increased caster levels, death touch, or smiting, among others) are lost for the duration of the spell. Domain benefits that result in skill proficiency (such as Trickery's allowance of Bluff, Disguise, and Hide as class skills) are unaffected, as the skill is already learned and committed to memory, not powered daily by divine force.

Divine interdiction interferes with a cleric's connection to his or her divine source of power, resulting in a temporary loss of the ability to turn or rebuke undead. Paladins, blackguards, and other classes capable of rebuking, turning, or otherwise commanding the undead can also suffer a temporary loss of this ability through divine interdiction.

This spell creates a beam of invisible disruptive energy that streaks out from the caster's pointed finger to strike the target(s) automatically. As usual, a target benefits only from his or her size modifier, Dexterity modifier, and deflection bonus (if any); armor bonuses, shield bonuses, or natural armor bonus do not apply.

The spell can be cast on a point in space, but the effect is stationary unless cast on a mobile object. The spell can be centered on a creature, and the effect then radiates from the creature and moves as it moves. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use SR, if any. Should the save fail, the target's turning abilities are immediately negated for the spell's duration.

While under the influence of divine interdiction, the target is treated as though he or she has no ability to turn, rebuke, or command undead. Note that the spell does not prevent positive or negative energy from affecting undead within the area (it merely becomes a barrier to activating such powers).

Divine Power

evocation

Calling upon the divine power of your patron, you are imbued with strength and skill in combat. You gain the base attack bonus of a fighter of your total character level, an enhancement bonus to Strength sufficient to raise your Strength score to 18 (if it is not already 18 or higher), and 1 temporary hit point per level.

Dominate Animal

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

You can enchant an animal and direct it with simple commands such as "Attack," "Run," and "Fetch." Suicidal or self-destructive commands (including an order to attack a creature two or more size categories larger than the dominated animal) are simply ignored.

Dominate animal establishes a mental link between you and the subject animal. The animal can be directed by silent mental command as long as it remains in range. You need not see the animal to control it. You doe not receive direct sensory input from the animal, but you know what it is experiencing. Because you are directing the animal with your own intelligence, it may be able to undertake actions normally beyond its own comprehension, such as manipulating objects with its paws and mouth. You need not concentrate exclusively on controlling the animal unless you are trying to direct it to do something it normally couldn't do.

Dominate Monster

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

As dominate person, except that the spell is not restricted by creature type or size.

Dominate Person

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

You can control the actions of any humanoid that is Medium-size or smaller. You establishe 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 doe not receive direct sensory input from him.

Subjects resist this control, and those forced to take actions against their nature receive a new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4, depending on the type of action required. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out. 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.

Doom

enchantment (compulsion) [fear mind-affecting]

This curse fills a single subject with a feeling of horrible dread and causes her to weaken and lose confidence. The subject suffers a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and saving throws.

Drawmij's Instant Summons

conjuration (summoning)

You call some nonliving item from virtually any location directly to your hand.

First, you place your arcane mark on the item. Then you cast this spell, which magically and invisibly inscribes the name of the item on a gem worth at least 1,000 gp. Thereafter, you can summon the item by speaking a special word (set by you when the spell is cast) and crushing the gem. The item appears instantly in your hand. Only you can use the gem in this way.

If the item is in the possession of another creature, the spell does not work, but you know who the possessor is and roughly where he, she, or it is located when the summons is cast.

The inscription on the gem is invisible. It is also unreadable, except by means of a read magic spell, to anyone but you.

The item can be summoned from another plane, but only if no other creature has claimed ownership of it.

Dream

illusion (phantasm) [mind-affecting]

The communication is one-way. The recipient cannot ask questions or offer information, nor can the messenger gain any information by observing the dreams of the recipient. Once the message is delivered, the messenger's mind returns instantly to her body. The duration of the spell is the time required for the messenger to enter the recipient's dream and deliver the message.

If the recipient is awake when the spell begins, the messenger can choose to wake up (ending the spell) or remain in the trance. She can remain in the trance until the recipient goes to sleep, then enter the recipient's dream and deliver the message as normal. If the messenger is disturbed during the trance, she awakens, and the spell ends.

Creatures who don't sleep or dream (such as elves, but not half-elves) cannot be contacted by this spell.

The messenger is unaware of her own surroundings or the activities around her while in the trance. She is defenseless, both physically and mentally (she always fails any saving throw, for example) while in the trance.

Dune Tomb

Abjuration

This spell can affect only creatures who are in contact with a sand dune that is at least twice as large as the largest creature targeted. You can target up to one creature per level, but all of the targets must be within 60 feet of each other. All targeted creatures who fail to resist the dune tomb effect sink down into the dune to a depth equal to twice their height and are magically held for as long as the spell persists. During this time, they do not need to eat, drink, or breathe, and they do not heal damage (to hit points or to ability scores), but they do continue to age normally. Each day that passes after the initial casting, a victim must make another Will save or suffer 1 point of permanent Wisdom drain as their mind slowly begins to fall apart under the strain of the inky isolation.

As long as the spell remains in effect, the caster can communicate to any of the entrapped victims in a manner identical to that provided by the sending spell, save that there is no limit to the number of words that can be transmitted. Communicating in this manner requires concentration, and it removes the need for the victim to make a Will save to prevent Wisdom drain until another 24 hours pass after the communication ends. The victims can reply as they wish, but the caster can always opt to end the conversation as a free action, plunging the victim back into isolation. The caster can release any or all of the victims at will by dismissing the magic entrapping the victim in question. A mental ping informs you if the victim leaves the tomb.

The freedom spell can free the imprisoned person, but only if it's cast within 60 feet of where the person is entombed. Magical search by a crystal ball, a locate object spell, or some other similar divination does not reveal the fact that a creature is entombed, but discern location does.

Desert spellcasters often use this spell to entrap enemies, promising them freedom in return for information.

Material Component: A hollow gold 1-inch square box containing sand and a mummified body part from any genie. The gold box must be worth at least 2,000 gp.

Earthquake

evocation

When you cast earthquake, an intense but highly localized tremor rips the ground. It knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ground, and more. The shock lasts 1 round, during which time creatures on the ground can't move or attack. Spellcasters on the ground must make Concentration checks (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spells they try to cast. The earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The exact effects depend on the terrain and its features:

Cave, Cavern, or Tunnel: The spell collapses the roof, dealing 8d6 points of damage to any creature caught under the cave-in (Reflex half DC 15). An earthquake cast on the roof of a very large cavern could also endanger those outside the actual area but below the falling debris.

Cliffs: They crumble, causing a landslide that travels horizontally as far as it fell vertically. An earthquake cast at the top of a 100-foot cliff would sweep 100 feet outward from the base of the cliff. Any creature in the path sustains 8d6 points of damage (Reflex half DC 15).

Open Ground: All creatures standing in the area must make Reflex saving throws (DC 15) or fall down. Fissures open in the ground, and every creature on the ground has a 25% chance to fall into one (Reflex save DC 20 to avoid the fissure). At the end of the spell, all fissures grind shut, killing any creatures still trapped within.

Structure: Most structures standing on open ground collapse, dealing 8d6 points of damage to those caught within or beneath the rubble (Reflex half DC 15).

River, Lake, or Marsh: Fissures open underneath the water, draining away the water from that area and forming muddy ground. Soggy marsh or swampland becomes quicksand for the duration of the spell, sucking down creatures and structures. Creatures must make Reflex saving throws (DC 15) or sink down in the mud and quicksand. At the end of the spell, the rest of the body of water rushes in to replace the drained water, possibly drowning those caught in the mud.

Elemental Familiar

transmutation

In order to cast this spell, you must have a familiar. When you cast the spell, the target creature becomes a Tiny air, earth, fire, or water elemental, as detailed below. You choose what type of elemental the creature becomes. The creature retains its basic shape, but it is in every way an elemental, not an element creature (as described in Manual of the Planes).

You lose any special ability the familiar previously granted to you (such as the +2 bonus to Move Silently checks bestowed by a cat familiar). However, you gain a replacement special ability, depending on the type of elemental your familiar becomes:

Air -- Master gains a +2 bonus to Initiative checks (stacks with Improved Initiative).

Earth -- Master gains +1 natural armor.

Fire -- Master gains a +3 resistance bonus to saving throws against fire attacks.

Water -- Master gains a +1 resistance bonus to Fortitude saving throws.

Only a limited wish, miracle,or wishor similar magic can restore a transmuted familiar to its original state. Otherwise, the familiar remains an elemental forevermore. You cannot cast this spell on another character's familiar. Most creatures consider the transformation harmless and beneficial, but if the creature decides to resist, a successful Fortitude save negates the spell.

Material Component: A small quantity of air, earth, fire, or water, depending on the elemental type the creature is to become.

A Tiny air elemental is 2 feet tall and weighs 1/4 pound. A Tiny earth elemental is 2 feet tall and weighs 20 pounds. A Tiny fire elemental is 2 feet tall and weighs 1/4 pound. A Tiny water elemental is 2 feet tall and weighs 8 pounds.

Elemental Traits: Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning; not subject to critical hits or flanking; darkvision 60 ft.; cannot be raised or resurrected (though a wish or miracle spell can restore life).

The special attacks of Tiny elementals conform to the information given for elementals of their subtype in the Monster Manual, except as specified. The save DC against the Tiny air elemental's whirlwind is 9, the damage is 1d3, and the whirlwind's height is 10 feet. The save DC against the Tiny fire elemental's burn is 10. The save DC against the Tiny water elemental's vortex is 11, the damage is 1d3, and the vortex's height is 10 feet.

Elemental Swarm

conjuration (summoning) [see text]

This spell opens a portal to an Elemental Plane. A druid can choose which plane (air, earth, fire, or water); a cleric opens a portal to the plane matching his domain. You can then summon elementals from that plane.

When the spell is complete, 2d4 Large elementals appear. Ten minutes later, 1d4 Huge elementals appear. Ten minutes after that, one greater elemental appears. Each elemental has at least 5 hit points per HD (that is, at least 60, 80, or 100 hit points, respectively). Once the elementals appear, they serve you for the duration of the spell.

The elementals obey you explicitly and never attack you, even if someone else manages to gain control over them. You doe not need to concentrate to maintain control over the elementals. You can dismiss them singly or in groups at any time.

When you use a summoning spell to summon an air, earth, fire, or water creature, it is a spell of that type. For example, elemental swarm is a fire spell when you cast it to summon fire elementals and a water spell when you use it to summon water elementals.

Emotion

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

This spell arouses a single emotion of your choice in the subjects. You can choose any one of the following versions:

Despair: The enchanted creatures suffer a -2 morale penalty to saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. Emotion (despair) dispels emotion (hope).

Fear: The enchanted creatures flee from you whenever they are in sight of you. Emotion (fear) dispels emotion (rage).

Friendship: The enchanted creatures react more positively toward others. Their attitude shifts to the next more favorable reaction (hostile to unfriendly, unfriendly to indifferent, indifferent to friendly, or friendly to helpful). Creatures involved in combat, however, continue to fight back normally. Emotion (friendship) dispels emotion (hate).

Hate: The enchanted creatures react more negatively toward others. Their attitude shifts to the next less favorable reaction (helpful to friendly, friendly to indifferent, indifferent to unfriendly, or unfriendly to hostile). Emotion (hate) dispels emotion (friendship).

Hope: The enchanted creatures gain a +2 morale bonus to saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. Emotion (hope) dispels emotion (despair).

Rage: The enchanted creatures gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution scores, a +1 morale bonus on Will saves, and a -1 penalty to AC. They are compelled to fight heedless of danger. Emotion (rage) does not stack with barbarian rage or with itself. Emotion (rage) dispels emotion (fear).

Endurance

transmutation

The spell grants the subject an enhancement bonus (1d4+1 points) to Constitution.

Endure Elements

abjuration

This abjuration grants a creature limited protection to damage from whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. Each round, the spell absorbs the first 5 points of damage the creature would otherwise take from the specified energy type, regardless of whether the source of damage is natural or magical. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well.

Endure elements absorbs only damage. You could still suffer unfortunate side effects, such as drowning in acid (since drowning damage comes from lack of oxygen) or becoming encased in ice.

Note: Endure elements overlaps (and does not stack with) resist elements and protection from elements. If a character is warded by protection from elements and one or both of the other spells, the protection spell absorbs damage until it is exhausted. If a character is warded by resist elements and endure elements at the same time, the resist spell absorbs damage but the endure spell does not.

Energy Drain

necromancy

As enervation, except the creature struck gains 2d4 negative levels, and the negative levels last longer.

If the ray strikes an undead creature, that creature gains 2d4 X 5 temporary hit points.

Enervation

necromancy

You mut make a ranged touch attack to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 1d4 negative levels.

If the ray strikes an undead creature, it gives that creature 5 temporary hit points per two caster levels (maximum 25 temporary hit points).

Enlarge

transmutation

This spell causes instant growth of a creature or object, increasing both size and weight. The subject grows by up to 10% per caster level, increasing by this amount in height, width, and depth (to a maximum of 50%). Weight increases by approximately the cube of the size increase, as follows:

All equipment worn or carried by a creature is enlarged by the spell. If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size, bursting weak enclosures in the process. However, it is constrained without harm by stronger materials - the spell cannot be used to crush a creature by growth.

Magical properties are not increased by this spell. Weight, mass, and strength are affected, though. A creature's hit points, Armor Class, and base attack bonus do not change, but Strength increases along with size. For every 20% of enlargement, the creature gains a +1 enlargement bonus to Strength.

Multiple magical effects that increase size do not stack.

Enlarge counters and dispels reduce.

Entangle

transmutation

Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those who enter the area, holding them fast. An entangled creature suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, suffers a -4 penalty to effective Dexterity, and can't move. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15) or lose the spell. She can break free and move half her normal speed by using a full-round action to make a Strength check or an Escape Artist check (DC 20). A creature who succeeds at a Reflex saving throw is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. Each round, the plants once again attempt to entangle all creatures who have avoided or escaped entanglement.

Enthrall

enchantment (charm) [language-dependent mind-affecting sonic]

If you have the attention of a group of creatures, you can use this spell to hold them spellbound. To cast the spell, you mut speak or sing without interruption for 1 full round. Thereafter, those affected give you their undivided attention, ignoring their surroundings. They are considered to have an attitude of friendly while under the effect of the spell. Those of a race or religion unfriendly to you gain a +4 bonus to the saving throw.

Creatures with 4 or more HD or with Wisdom scores of 16 or higher remain aware of their surroundings and have an attitude of indifferent. They gain new saving throws if they witness actions that they oppose.

The enchantment lasts as long as you speak or sings, to a maximum of 1 hour. Those enthralled by your words take no action while you speak or sings, and for 1d3 rounds thereafter while they discuss the topic or performance. Those entering the area during the performance must also successfully save or become enthralled. The speech ends (but the 1d3-round delay still applies) if you lose concentration or performs any action other than speaking or singing.

If those not enthralled have unfriendly or hostile attitudes toward you, they can collectively make a Charisma check to try to end the spell. This check is based on you with the highest Charisma and has a +2 bonus for each other jeerer who can make a Charisma check of 10 or higher. The heckling ends the spell if it beats your opposed Charisma check. Only one such challenge is allowed per use of the spell.

If any member of the audience is attacked (or subjected to an overtly hostile act), the spell ends and the audience becomes immediately unfriendly toward you (or hostile, for audience members with 4 or more HD and Wisdom 16 or higher).

Entropic Shield

abjuration

This field deflects incoming arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks. Each ranged attack directed at you suffer a 20% miss chance (similar to the effects of concealment). This miss chance affects all ranged attacks for which the attackers make attack rolls.

Erase

transmutation

Erase removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from up to two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. It removes explosive runes, glyphs of warding, sepia snake sigils, and arcane marks, but it does not remove illusory script or symbols. Nonmagical writings are automatically erased if you touche them and no one else is holding them. Otherwise, the chance is 90%. Magic writings must be touched, and you mut roll 15+ on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) to succeed. (A natural 1 or 2 is always a miss on this roll.) If you fail to erase explosive runes, a glyph of warding, or a sepia snake sigil, you accidentally activates the runes, glyph, or sigil instead.

Ethereal Jaunt

transmutation

You become ethereal, along with your equipment. You enter a place called the Ethereal Plane, which overlaps the normal, physical, Material Plane.

When the spell expires, you return to material existence.

If you end the spell and become material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that you travelled.

Etherealness

transmutation

As ethereal jaunt, except you and other creatures joined by linked hands (along with their equipment) become ethereal. Besides you, you can bring one creature per three caster levels to the Ethereal Plane. Once ethereal, the creatures need not stay together.

When the spell expires, all affected creatures in the Ethereal Plane return to material existence.

Evard's Black Tentacles

conjuration (creation)

This spell conjures many rubbery black tentacles. These waving members seem to spring forth from the earth, floor, or whatever surface is underfoot - including water. There are 1d4 such tentacles, plus one per caster level, appearing randomly scattered about the area. Each tentacle is 10 feet long (Large) and saves as you doe. It has AC 16, 1 hit point/per caster level, an attack bonus of +1/per caster level, and a Strength score of 19 (+4 bonus). It is immune to spells that don't cause damage (other than disintegrate).

Each round that a tentacle is not already grappling someone or something, starting the round after it appears, it makes a grapple attack at a random creature or object within 10 feet of it. These attacks take place on your turn. The tentacles do not attack each other, nor do they attack objects that are smaller than a Medium-size creature. The attacks are like regular grappling attacks, except that they don't provoke attacks of opportunity from opponents. Also, they cause 1d6 points of normal damage (+4 for Strength), not subdual damage. A tentacle maintains its grapple even after its subject is dying or dead.

Exacting Shot

transmutation

This transmutation makes a ranged (projectile) weapon strike true against the caster's favored enemies. All critical rolls against favored enemies automatically succeed, so every threat is a critical hit. The affected weapon also negates any miss chance due to concealment whenever the caster fires at a favored enemy (unless it has total concealment, in which case the normal miss chance applies). If the ranged weapon or the projectile fired has any magical effect or property related to critical hits, this spell has no effect.

Expeditious Retreat

transmutation

Your speed and maximum jumping distances both double. These benefits count as enhancement bonuses.

Explosive Runes

abjuration [force]

You trace these mystic runes upon a book, map, scroll, or similar object bearing written information. The runes detonate when read, dealing 6d6 points of damage. Anyone next to the runes (close enough to read them) takes this damage with no saving throw. Others within 10 feet of the runes take half damage if they succeed at Reflex saving throws. The object in which the runes were written also takes the damage (no saving throw).

As the spellcaster, you and any characters you specifically instructs can read the protected writing without triggering the runes. Likewise, you can remove the runes whenever desired. Others can remove them with a successful dispel magic or erase spell. However, attempting to dispel or erase the runes and failing to do so triggers the explosion.

Eyebite

transmutation [see text]

You can merely meet the gaze of a creature and speak a single word to affect it with one of four magical effects: charm, fear, sicken, or sleep. You select one of these four possible gaze attacks when casting the spell. You retain the gaze power for 1 round for every three caster levels and can use the gaze attack as a free action each round.

These effects do not affect undead creatures or extend beyond the plane you currently occupies. You are subject to the effects of a reflected gaze and is allowed any applicable saving throw. In the case of a reflected charm gaze, you are held (as a hold monster spell).

The four versions of the spell are as follows:

Charm: Equivalent to the charm monster spell, except that the saving throw is based on spell level 6.

Fear: The subject flees in blind terror for 1d4 rounds. Once it stops fleeing, the creature refuses to face you for 10 minutes per your caster level. If subsequently confronted by you, it either cowers or bolts for the nearest cover (50% chance of either). This is an enchantment, compulsion, mind-affecting effect; it can be negated by a Will save (SR applies).

Sicken: Sudden pain and fever sweeps over the subject's body. An affected creature's speed is reduced by half, it loses any Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and it suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls. The creature remains stricken for 10 minutes per your caster level. The effects cannot be negated by a cure disease or heal spell, but a remove curse or successful dispel magic spell is effective. This is a necromancy effect; it can be negated by a Fortitude save (SR applies).

Sleep: The subject falls asleep. The creature sleeps for your caster level x 10 minutes but can be slapped awake. This is an enchantment, compulsion, mind-affecting effect; it can be negated by a Will save (SR applies).

Note: Each round, a gaze attack automatically works against one creature within range that is looking at (attacking or interacting with) the gazing creature.

Fabricate

transmutation

You convert material of one sort into a product that is of the same material. Creatures or magic items cannot be created or transmuted by the fabricate spell. The quality of items made by this spell is commensurate with the quality of material used as the basis for the new fabrication. If you work with a mineral, the target is reduced to 1 cubic foot per level instead of 10 cubic feet.

You mut make an appropriate Craft check to fabricate articles requiring a high degree of craftsmanship (jewelry, swords, glass, crystal, etc.).

Casting requires 1 full round per 10 cubic feet (or 1 cubic foot) of material to be affected by the spell.

Faerie Fire

evocation

A pale glow surrounds and outlines the subjects. Outlined subjects shed light as candles. Outlined creatures do not benefit from the concealment normally caused by darkness, blur, displacement, invisibility, or similar effects. The light is too dim to have any special effect on undead or dark-dwelling creatures. The faerie fire can be blue, green, or violet, according to your word at the time of casting. The faerie fire does not cause any harm to the objects or creatures thus outlined.

False Vision

illusion (glamer)

You and all you desire within the area of the spell become undetectable to scrying (whether by spell or magic device). Furthermore, if you are aware of an attempt to scry, you can create whatever image you desire, including sight and sound, according to the medium of the scrying method. To do this, you mut concentrate on the figment you are creating. Once concentration is broken, no further images can be created, although the area remains undetectable for the duration of the spell.

Arcane Material Component: Worth at least 250 gp.

Fear

necromancy [fear mind-affecting]

An invisible cone of terror causes living creatures to become panicked. They suffer a -2 morale penalty on saving throws, and they flee from you. A panicked creature has a 50% chance to drop what it's holding, chooses its path randomly (as long as it is getting away from immediate danger), and flees any other dangers that confront it. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers.

Fearsome Grapple

transmutation

This spell causes two additional arms to grow from your sides and coordinate their efforts to help you grapple another creature. These extra arms give you a +4 circumstance bonus to grapple checks you make while the spell is in effect. The arms are not coordinated enough to wield weapons, manipulate tools, or perform any action other than grappling.

If your caster level is at least 9th, you grow four additional arms, and the circumstance bonus increases to +8.

Note: If you use this spell in your game, all creatures with more than two arms should gain a circumstance bonus to grapple checks, as suggested in Sword & Fist. This bonus is +4 per extra pair of arms, and is the same bonus granted by the spell (not an additional bonus).

Feather Fall

transmutation

The creatures or objects affected fall slowly (though faster than feathers typically do). The rate of falling is instantly changed to a mere 60 feet a round (equivalent to the end of a fall from a few feet), with no damage incurred upon landing while the spell is in effect. However, when the spell duration ceases, a normal rate of fall resumes.

You can cast this spell with an instant utterance, quickly enough to save yourself if you unexpectedly fall. Casting the spell is a free action, like casting a quickened spell, and it counts toward the normal limit of one quickened spell per round.

This spell has no special effect on ranged weapons unless they are falling quite a distance. If the spell is cast on a falling item, such as a boulder dropped from the top of a castle wall, the item does half normal damage based on weight with no bonus for the height of the drop.

The spell works only upon free-falling objects. It does not affect a sword blow or a charging or flying creature.

Feeblemind

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

The subject's Intelligence score drops to 1. Still, the creature knows who its friends are and can follow them and even protect them. The creature remains in this state until a heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish spell is used to cancel the effects. Creatures who can cast arcane spells or use arcane spell-like effects suffer a -4 penalty on their saving throws.

Find the Path

divination

The recipient of this spell can find the shortest, most direct physical route to a specified destination. Note that the spell works with respect to locales, not objects or creatures within a locale. The location must be on the same plane as you at the time of casting.

The spell enables the subject to sense the correct direction that will eventually lead him to his destination, indicating at the appropriate times the exact path to follow or physical actions to take. The spell frees the subject, and those with him, from a maze spell in a single round.

This divination is keyed to the recipient, not his companions, and does not predict or allow for the actions of creatures (including guardians).

Find Traps

divination

You can use the Search skill to detect traps just as a rogue can but gain no special bonus on the Search checks.

Finger of Death

necromancy [death]

You can slay any one living creature within range. The subject is entitled to a Fortitude saving throw to survive the attack. If the save is successful, it instead sustains 3d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level.

Fireball

evocation [fire]

A fireball spell is a burst of flame that detonates with a low roar and deals 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) to all creatures within the area. Unattended objects also take this damage. The explosion creates almost no pressure.

You point a finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to burst. A glowing, pea-sized bead streaks from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball at that point (an early impact results in an early detonation). If you attempt to send the bead through a narrow passage, such as through an arrow slit, you mut "hit" the opening with a ranged touch attack, or else the bead strikes the barrier and detonates prematurely.

The fireball sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in the area. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the fireball may continue beyond the barrier if the area permits; otherwise it stops at the barrier just as any other spell effect does.

Fire Seeds

conjuration (creation) [fire]

Acorn Grenades: Up to four acorns turn into special grenadelike weapons that can be hurled up to 100 feet. A ranged touch attack roll is required to strike the intended target. Each acorn bursts upon striking any hard surface. Together, the acorns are capable of dealing 1d8 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 20d8), divided up among the acorns as you wishe. A 20th-level druid could create one 20d8 missile, two 10d8 missiles, one 11d8 and three 3d8 missiles, or any other combination of d8s totaling up to four acorns and 20d8 points of damage. The acorns deal 1 point of splash damage per die and ignite any combustible materials within 10 feet. If a creature within the burst area makes a successful Reflex saving throw, it takes only half damage; a creature struck directly always sustains full damage (no saving throw).

Holly Berry Bombs: You turn up to eight holly berries into special bombs. The holly berries are usually placed by hand, being too light to make effective thrown weapons (they can be tossed only 5 feet). They burst into flame if you are within 200 feet and speak a word of command. The berries instantly ignite, causing 1d8 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level to creatures and igniting any combustible materials within 5 feet. Creatures who successfully make Reflex saving throws take half damage.

Fire Shield

evocation [fire or cold]

This spell wreathes you in flame and causes damage to each creature who attacks you in melee. The flames also protect you from either cold-based or fire-based attacks (your choice).

Any creature striking you with its body or handheld weapons deals normal damage, but at the same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level. This damage is either cold damage (if the shield protects against fire-based attacks) or fire damage (if the shield protects against cold-based attacks). If a creature has spell resistance, it applies to this damage. Note that weapons with exceptional reach, such as two-handed spears, do not endanger their users in this way.

When casting this spell, you appear to be immolated, but the flames are thin and wispy, shedding no heat and giving light equal to only half the illumination of a normal torch (10 feet). The color of the flames is determined randomly (50% chance of either color) - blue or green if the chill shield is cast, violet or blue if the warm shield is employed. The special powers of each version are as follows.

Warm Shield: The flames are warm to the touch. You take only half damage from cold-based attacks. If that attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, you take no damage on a successful save.

Chill Shield: The flames are cool to the touch. You take only half damage from fire-based attacks. If that attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, you take no damage on a successful save.

Fire Storm

evocation [fire]

When a fire storm spell is cast, the whole area is shot through with sheets of roaring flame. The raging flames do not harm natural vegetation, ground cover, and plant creatures in the area, if you so desires. Any other creatures (and plant creatures you wishe to affect) within the area take 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 20d6).

Fire Trap

abjuration [fire]

Fire trap creates a fiery explosion when an intruder opens the item that the trap wards. The fire trap can ward any closeable item (book, box, bottle, chest, coffer, coffin, door, drawer, and so forth). When casting fire trap, you select a point on the item as the spell's center. When someone other than you open the item, a fiery explosion fills the area within a 5-foot radius around the spell's center. The flames deal 1d4 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20). The item protected by the trap is not harmed by this explosion.

The fire trapped item cannot have a second closure or warding spell placed on it.

A knock spell does not affect a fire trap in any way, because knock only opens things and the fire trap in no way prevents one from opening the trapped item. An unsuccessful dispel magic spell does not detonate the spell.

Underwater, this ward deals half damage and creates a large cloud of steam.

As the caster, you can use the trapped object without discharging it, as can any individual to whom the spell was specifically attuned when cast. "Attuning" usually involves a password that you can share with friends.

Material: Worth 25 gp

Flame Arrow

conjuration (creation) [fire]

You can either create flames that turn normal arrows, bolts, and stones into fiery projectiles, or you can create fiery bolts and shoot them at enemies.

Flaming Normal Projectiles: When choosing this version, you can affect up to one projectile per level. The projectiles must all be within 10 feet of you at the time of casting. If shot before the end of the next round, these projectiles catch fire. If they hit, they deal additional fire damage equal to half your caster level (up to +10). The flaming projectiles can easily ignite flammable materials or structures. No saving throw is allowed for this version of the spell.

Fiery Bolts: When creating a fiery bolt, you mut succeed at a ranged touch attack roll to hit. The bolt deals 4d6 points of fire damage (Reflex save half). If you create extra bolts (at 8th level or higher), all bolts must be aimed at enemies that are all within 30 feet of each other.

Flame Blade

evocation [fire]

A 3-foot-long, blazing beam of red-hot fire springs forth from your hand. You wield this bladelike beam as if it were a scimitar. Attacks with the flame blade are melee touch attacks. The blade deals 1d8 points of damage +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10). Since the blade is immaterial, your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage, which is all fire damage. The flame blade can ignite combustible materials such as parchment, straw, dry sticks, and cloth. It can harm any creature who is harmed by magical fire.

The spell does not function underwater.

Flame Strike

evocation [fire]

A flame strike produces a vertical column of divine fire roaring downward. The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Half the damage is fire damage, but the rest results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by protection from elements (fire), fire shield (chill shield), and similar magic.

Flaming Sphere

evocation [fire]

A burning globe of fire rolls in whichever direction you point and burns those it strikes. It moves 30 feet per round and can leap up to 30 feet to strike a target. If it enters a space with a creature, it stops moving for the round and deals 2d6 points of fire damage to that creature. (The subject can negate this damage with a successful Reflex save.) The flaming sphere rolls over barriers less than 4 feet tall, such as furniture and low walls. The sphere ignites flammable substances it touches and illuminates the same area as a torch.

The sphere moves as long as you actively directs it (a move-equivalent action for you); otherwise, it merely stays at rest and burns. It can be extinguished by any means that would put out a normal fire of its size. The surface of the sphere has a spongy, yielding consistency and so does not cause damage except by its flame. It cannot push aside unwilling creatures or batter down large obstacles. The sphere winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.

Flare

evocation [light]

This cantrip creates a burst of bright light. If you cause the light to burst directly in front of a single creature, that creature is dazzled. A dazzled creature suffers a -1 penalty on attack rolls. The creature recovers in 1 minute. Sightless creatures are not affected by flare.

Flesh to Stone

transmutation

The subject and all possessions it carries turn into a mindless, inert statue. If the statue resulting from this spell is broken or damaged, the being (if ever returned to its original state) has similar damage or deformities. The creature is not dead (its soul doesn't pass on), but it does not seem to be alive either (when viewed with spells such as deathwatch). Only creatures made of flesh are affected by this spell.

Fly

transmutation

The spell's subject can fly with a speed of 90 feet (60 feet if the creature wears medium or heavy armor). The subject can fly up at half speed and descend at double speed. The flying subject's maneuverability rating is good. Using the fly spell requires as much concentration as walking, so the subject can attack or cast spells normally. The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run, and it cannot carry aloft more weight than its maximum load (see page 142), plus any armor it wears.

Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject drops 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also falls in this way if the fly spell is dispelled.

Foebane

evocation

This spell imbues one of the caster's weapons with great killing power against a single favored enemy type. Against creatures of that type, the weapon acts as a +5 magic weapon and deals +2d6 points of bonus damage. Furthermore, while the caster wields the weapon, he or she gains a +4 resistance bonus to saving throws against effects created by creatures of that type.

The spell is automatically canceled 1 round after the weapon leaves the caster's hand for any reason. The caster cannot have more than one foebane weapon 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 exacting shot or any other spell that might modify the weapon in any way. This spell does not work on artifacts.

Note: A masterwork weapon's bonus to attack does not stack with an enhancement bonus to attack.

Fog Cloud

conjuration (creation)

A bank of fog billows out from the point you designate. The fog 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 fog in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round.

The spell does not function underwater.

Forbiddance

abjuration

Forbiddance prevents creatures whose alignments are different from your from entering the area. Additionally, the spell seals the area against all planar travel into it, including dimension door, teleport, plane shifting, astral travel, ethereal travel, and all summoning spells. At your option, the abjuration can be locked by a password, in which case it can be entered only by those speaking the proper words (no saving throw allowed to those who don't speak the password, although SR applies). Otherwise, the effect on those entering the warded area is based on their alignment relative to your.

Alignments identical: No effect. The creature may enter freely (albeit not by planar travel).

Alignments different with respect to either law/chaos or good/evil: The creature is hedged out and takes 3d6 points of damage. A successful Will save negates both effects, and SR applies.

Alignments different with respect to both law/chaos and good/evil: The creature is hedged out and takes 6d6 points of damage. A successful Will save negates both effects, and SR applies.

Once a saving throw is failed, an intruder cannot enter the forbidden area (future saving throws likewise fail). Intruders who enter by rolling successful saving throws feel uneasy and tense, despite their success.

Dispel magic does not dispel the forbiddance effect unless the dispeller's level is at least as high as your caster level.

Material Components: Worth at least 1,500 gp per 60-foot cube. If a password lock is desired, additional components worth at least 5,000 gp per 60-foot cube.

Forcecage

evocation [force]

This powerful spell brings into being an immobile cubical prison with bars or solid walls of force (your choice).

Creatures within the area are caught and contained unless they are too big to fit inside or can pass through the slits in the barred cage. All spells and breath weapons can pass through the gaps in the bars. Teleportation and other forms of astral travel provide a means of escape, but the force walls or bars extend into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel.

Like a wall of force spell, the forcecage resists dispel magic, but it is vulnerable to a disintegrate spell, and it can be destroyed by a sphere of annihilation or a rod of cancellation.

Barred Cage: The barred cage is a 20-foot cube with bands of force (similar to a wall of force spell) for bars. The bands are a half-inch wide, with half-inch gaps between the bars.

Windowless Cell: The cell is a 10-foot cube with no way in and no way out. Solid walls of force form its six sides.

Material Component: Worth 1,500 gp, consumed when the spell is prepared.

Foresight

divination

This spell grants you a powerful sixth sense in relation to yourself or another. Once the spell is cast, you receive instantaneous warnings of impending danger or harm to the subject of the spell. You are never surprised or flat-footed. In addition, the spell gives you a general idea of what action you might take to best protect yourself - duck, jump right, close the eyes, and so on - and gives you a +2 insight bonus to AC and to Reflex saves. This insight bonus is lost whenever you would lose a Dexterity bonus to AC.

When another creature is the object of the spell, you receive warnings about that creature. You mut communicate what yous learn to the other creature for the warning to be useful, and it can be caught unprepared in the absence of such a warning. Shouting a warning, yanking a person back, and even telepathically communicating (via an appropriate spell) can all be accomplished before some danger befalls the spell subject, provided you act on the warning without delay. The subject, however, does not gain the insight bonus to AC and Reflex saves.

Freedom

abjuration

The subject is freed from spells and effects that restrict his movement. To free someone from the imprisonment spell, you mut know that person's name and background, and you mut cast this spell at the spot where that person was entombed.

Freedom of Movement

abjuration

This spell enables you or the creature you touche to move and attack normally for the duration of the spell, even under the influence of magic that usually impedes movement.

The spell also allows a character to move and attack normally while underwater, even with cutting weapons and with bludgeoning weapons provided that the weapon is wielded in the hand rather than hurled. The freedom of movement spell does not, however, allow water breathing.

Gaseous Form

transmutation

The subject and all her gear become insubstantial, misty, and translucent. The subject gains damage reduction 20/+1. Her material armor (including natural armor) becomes worthless, though her size, Dexterity, deflection bonuses, and armor bonuses from force armor (for example, from the mage armor spell) still apply. She becomes immune to poison and critical hits. She can't attack or cast spells with verbal, somatic, material, or focus components while in gaseous form. (Note that this does not rule out certain spells that the subject may have prepared using the metamagic feats Silent Spell and Still Spell.) As with polymorph other, the subject loses supernatural abilities while in gaseous form. If she has a touch spell ready to use, it is discharged harmlessly when the spell takes effect.

The gaseous creature can't run but she can fly (speed 10, maneuverability perfect). She can pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks, with all she was wearing or holding in her hands, as long as the spell persists. She is subject to wind. She can't enter water or other liquid.

Gate

conjuration (creation calling)

Casting a gate spell has two effects. First, it creates an interdimensional connection between your plane of existence and the plane desired, allowing travel between the planes in either direction. Second, you may then call a particular individual or type of being through the gate. The gate itself is a circular hoop or disk from 5 to 20 feet in diameter (caster's choice), oriented in the direction you desire when it comes into existence (typically vertical and facing you). It is a two-dimensional window into the plane you named, and anyone or anything that moves through is shunted instantly to the other side. The gate has a front and a back. Creatures moving through the gate from the front are transported to another plane; creatures moving through it from the back are not.

Planar Travel: As a mode of planar travel, gate functions much like the plane shift spell, except that the gate opens precisely at the point you desire (a creation effect). Note that deities and other beings who rule a planar realm can prevent a gate from opening in their presence or personal demesnes if they so desire. Travelers need not join hands with you - anyone who chooses to step through the portal is transported. A gate cannot be opened to another point on the same plane; the spell works only for interplanar travel.

You may hold the gate open only for a brief time (no more than 1 round per caster level) and must concentrate on doing so or sever the interplanar connection.

Calling Creatures: The second effect of the gate spell is to call an extraplanar creature to your aid (a calling effect). By naming a particular being or type of being as you cat the spell, you may cause the gate to open in the immediate vicinity of the desired creature and pull the subject through, willing or unwilling. Deities and unique beings are under no compulsion to come through the gate, although they may choose to do so of their own accord. This use of the spell creates a gate that remains open just long enough to transport the called creatures.

If you choose to call a type of being instead of a known individual you may call either a single creature (of any HD) or several creatures. If several creatures, you can call and control them as long as their HD total does not exceed your caster level. In the case of a single creature, you can control it if its HD does not exceed twice your caster level. A single creature with more than twice your caster level in HD can't be controlled. Deities and unique beings cannot be controlled in any event. An uncontrolled being acts as it pleases, making the calling of such creatures rather dangerous. An uncontrolled being may return to its home plane at any time.

A controlled creature can be commanded to perform a service for you. These fall into two categories: immediate tasks and contractual service. Fighting for you in a single battle or taking any other actions that can be accomplished within 1 round per caster level counts as an immediate task; you need not make any agreement or pay any reward for the creature's help. The creature departs at the end of the spell.

If you choose to exact a longer or more involved form of service from the called creature, you mut offer some fair trade in return for that service. The service exacted must be reasonable with respect to the promised favor or reward. In general, a gift of 100 gp per HD of the called creature per day of service is reasonable. (Unfortunately, some creatures want their payment in "livestock" rather than in coin, which may involve complications.) Immediately upon completion of the service, the being is transported to your vicinity, and you mut then and there turn over the promised reward. After this is done, the creature is instantly freed to return to its own plane.

Failure to fulfill the promise to the letter results in your being subjected to service by the creature or by its liege and master, at the very least. At worst, the creature or its kin may attack you.

Note: When you use a calling spell such as gate to call an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it becomes a spell of that type. For example, gate is a chaotic and evil spell when you cast it to call a demon.

Geas/Quest

enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent mind-affecting]

As lesser geas, except that geas/quest affects a creature of any HD and allows no saving throw.

Instead of suffering penalties to abilities, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage each day he does not attempt to follow the geas/quest. Additionally, each day he must make a Fortitude saving throw or sicken. A sickened creature moves at half his normal speed and suffers -4 penalties on both Strength and Dexterity. He heals damage at one-tenth his normal rate and cannot benefit from any magical healing effects. A sickened creature must make a Fortitude save each day or become crippled. Once crippled, the subject is effectively disabled (as if he had 0 hit points) and can't choose to take strenuous actions. These effects end 1 day after the creature attempts to resume the geas/quest.

Remove curse ends the geas/quest only if its caster level is at least two higher than your caster level. Break enchantment does not end the geas/quest, although limited wish, miracle, and wish do.

Wizard and bards usually refer to this spell as geas, while clerics call the same spell quest.

Genesis

Conjuration [Creation]

You create a finite plane with limited access: a demiplane. Demiplanes created by this power are very small, very minor planes.

You can only cast this spell while you are in the Ethereal Plane. When you cast the spell, a local density fluctuation precipitates the creation of a demiplane. At first, the fledgling plane grows at a rate of 1 foot in radius per day to an initial maximum radius of 180 feet as it rapidly draws substance from surrounding ethereal vapors and protomatter.

You determine the environment within the demiplane when you first cast genesis, reflecting most any desire you can visualize. You determine dactors such as atmosphere, water, temperature, and the general shape of the trrain. This spell cannot create life (including vegetation), nor can it create construction (such as buildings, roads, wells, dungeons, and so forth). You must add these things in some other fashion, if you desire. Once the basic demiplane reaches its maximum size, you can continue to cast this spell to enlarge your demiplane, adding another 180 feet of radius to your demiplane each time.

XP Cost: 5,000 XP.

Gentle Repose

necromancy

You preserve the remains of a dead creature so that they do not decay. Doing so extends the time limit on raising that creature from the dead (see raise dead). Days spent under the influence of this spell don't count against the time limit. Additionally, this spell makes transporting a fallen comrade more pleasant.

The spell also works on severed body parts and the like.

Ghost Sound

illusion (figment)

Ghost sound allows you to create a volume of sound that rises, recedes, approaches, or remains at a fixed place. You choose what type of sound the spell creates when casting the spell and cannot thereafter change its basic character. The volume of sound created, however, depends on your level. You can produce as much noise as four normal humans per caster level (maximum twenty humans). Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost sound spell produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from sixteen humans, while a roaring dire cat is equal to the noise from twenty humans.

Note that ghost sound can enhance the effectiveness of a silent image spell.

Ghoul Touch

necromancy

Imbuing you with negative energy, this spell allows you to paralyze a single humanoid for 1d6+2 rounds with a successful melee touch attack. Additionally, the paralyzed subject exudes a carrion stench that causes retching and nausea in a 10-foot radius. Those in the radius (excluding you) must make a Fortitude save or suffer a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks until the spell ends.

Giant Vermin

transmutation

You turn one or more normal-sized insects, arachnids, or other vermin into larger forms resembling giant vermin. Only one type of vermin can be transmuted (so a single casting cannot affect both an ant and a fly), and all must be grown to the same number of HD. The number of vermin and the HD to which they can be grown depends upon your level; see the accompanying table.

Any giant vermin created by this spell do not attempt to harm you, but your control of such creatures is limited to simple commands ("Attack," "Defend," "Stop," and so forth). Orders to attack a certain creature when it appears or guard against a particular occurrence are too complex for the vermin to understand. Unless commanded to do otherwise, the giant vermin attack whoever or whatever is near them.

Glitterdust

conjuration (creation)

A cloud of glittering golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, blinding creatures and visibly outlining invisible things. Blindness lasts for the duration of the spell. All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades.

In addition to the obvious effects, a blinded creature suffers a 50% miss chance in combat (all opponents have full concealment), loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, grants a +2 bonus to opponents' attack rolls (they are effectively invisible), moves at half speed, and suffers a -4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skills.

Globe of Invulnerability

abjuration

As minor globe of invulnerability, except that it also excludes 4th-level spells and spell-like effects.

Glyph of Warding

abjuration

This powerful inscription harms those who enter, pass, or open the warded area or object. A glyph can guard a bridge or passage, ward a portal, trap a chest or box, and so on.

You set the conditions of the ward. Typically, any creature violating the warded area without speaking a pass phrase (which you set when casting the spell) is subject to the magic it stores. Glyphs can be set according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight) or creature type, subtype, or species (such as "drow" or "aberration"). Glyphs can also be set with respect to good, evil, law, or chaos, or to pass those of your religion. They cannot be set according to class, HD, or level. Glyphs respond to invisible creatures normally but are not triggered by those who travel past them ethereally. Multiple glyphs cannot be cast on the same area. However, if a cabinet had three drawers, each could be separately warded.

When casting the spell, you weave a tracery of faintly glowing lines around the warding sigil. The glyph can be placed to conform to any shape up to the limitations of your total square footage. When the spell is completed, the glyph and tracery become nearly invisible.

Glyphs cannot be affected or bypassed by such means as physical or magical probing, though they can be dispelled. Mislead, polymorph, and nondetection can fool a glyph.

Read magic allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a successful Spellcraft check (DC 13). Identifying the glyph does not discharge it and allows you to know the basic nature of the glyph (version, type of damage caused, what spell is stored).

Depending on the version selected, a glyph either blasts the intruder or activates a spell.

Blast Glyph: A blast deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels to the intruder and to all within 5 feet of the intruder (maximum 5d8). This damage is acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic (caster's choice, made at time of casting). Those affected can make Reflex saves to take half damage.

Spell Glyph: You can store any harmful spell of up to 3rd level that you know. All level-dependent features of the spell are based on your level at the time of casting. If the spell has targets, it targets the intruder. If the spell has an area or an amorphous effect (such as a cloud), the area or effect is centered on the intruder. If the spell summons creatures, they appear as close as possible to the intruder and attack. All saving throws operate as normal, except that the DC is based on the level of the glyph.

Material Component: Worth at least 200 gp.

Goodberry

transmutation

Casting goodberry upon a handful of freshly picked berries makes 2d4 of them magical. You (as well as any other caster of the same faith and 3rd or higher level) can immediately discern which berries are affected. Each enchanted berry nourishes a creature as if it were a normal meal for a Medium-size creature. The berry also cures 1 point of damage when eaten, subject to a maximum of 8 points of such curing in any 24-hour period.

Grease

conjuration (creation)

A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature entering the area or caught in it when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or slip, skid, and fall. Those that successfully save can move at half speed across the surface. However, those that remain in the area must each make a new saving throw every round to avoid falling and to be able to move. The DM should adjust saving throws by circumstance. For example, a creature charging down an incline that is suddenly greased has little chance to avoid the effect, but its ability to exit the affected area is almost assured (whether it wants to or not).

The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item - a rope, ladder rungs, or a weapon handle, for instance. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while objects wielded or employed by creatures receive a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made each round the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item.

Greater Command

enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent mind-affecting]

As command, except that up to one creature per level may be affected. At the start of each commanded creature's action after the first, it gets another Will save to attempt to break free from the spell.

Greater Dispelling

abjuration

As dispel magic, except that the maximum bonus on the dispel check is +20 instead of +10. Additionally, greater dispelling has a chance to dispel any effect that remove curse can remove, even if dispel magic can't dispel that effect.

Greater Glyph of Warding

abjuration

As glyph of warding, except that the blast deals up to 10d8 damage, and the greater glyph can store a harmful spell of up to 6th level.

Material Component: Worth at least 400 gp.

Greater Magic Fang

transmutation

As magic fang, except that the enhancement bonus to attack and damage is +1 per three caster levels (maximum +5).

Greater Magic Weapon

transmutation

This spell gives a weapon an enhancement bonus to attack and damage of +1 per three caster levels (maximum +5). An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon's +1 bonus on attacks.

Alternatively, you can affect up to fifty arrows, bolts, or bullets. The projectiles must all be of the same type, and they have to be together in one group (such as in the same quiver). Projectiles (but not thrown weapons) lose their transmutation when used.

If you are a good cleric, the cleric of a good deity, or a paladin, the weapon is considered blessed, which means it has special effects on certain creatures.

Greater Planar Ally

conjuration (calling) [see text]

Effect: Up to 24 HD worth of summoned elementals and outsiders, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart when they appear

As lesser planar ally, except you may call a single creature of up to 24 HD or a number of creatures whose HD total no more than 24. The creatures agree to help you and request your return favor together.

Greater Planar Binding

conjuration (calling) [see text]

As lesser planar binding, except you may call a single creature of up to 24 HD or a number of creatures whose HD total no more than 24. Each creature gets a saving throw, makes independent attempts to escape, and must be persuaded to aid you individually.

Greater Restoration

necromancy

As lesser restoration, except the spell dispels all negative energy levels afflicting the healed creature, restoring the creature to the highest level it had previously achieved. This reverses level drains by a force or creature. The drained levels are restored only if the time since the creature lost the level is no more than 1 week per caster level.

Greater restoration also dispels all magical effects penalizing your abilities, cures all temporary ability damage, and restores all points permanently drained from all ability scores. It also removes all forms of insanity, confusion, and similar mental effects. Greater restoration does not restore levels or Constitution points lost due to death.

Greater Scrying

divination

As scrying, except as noted above. All of the following spells can be cast reliably through the sensor: comprehend languages, darkvision, detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect magic, message, read magic, and tongues.

Greater Shadow Conjuration

illusion (shadow)

As shadow conjuration, except that it can duplicate wizard or sorcerer conjurations of up to 4th level, and the illusory conjurations created are two-fifths (40%) as strong as the real thing instead of one-fifth as strong.

Greater Shadow Evocation

illusion (shadow)

As shadow evocation, but it enables the caster to create partially real, illusory versions of sorcerer or wizard evocations of up to 5th level. If recognized as greater shadow evocation, damaging spells deal only two-fifths (40%) of normal damage, with a minimum of 2 points per die of damage. For example, a greater shadow cloudkill has a 40% chance to kill creatures of 6 HD or less, and creatures of 4 to 6 HD get a saving throw. Creatures not killed take 1d10 x 0.4 points of damage each round.

Nondamaging effects, such as a web's ensnarement, are only 40% likely to work when the greater shadow evocation is recognized as mostly illusory (roll separately for each effect and each creature who recognizes the evocation as shadowy).

Guards and Wards

abjuration

This powerful spell is primarily used to defend your stronghold. The ward protects 200 square feet per caster level. The warded area can be up to 20 feet high, and shaped as you desire. You can ward several stories of a stronghold by dividing the area among them; you mut be somewhere within the area to be warded to cast the spell. The spell creates the following magical effects within the warded area:

Fog: Fog fills all corridors, obscuring 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 full concealment (50% miss chance; the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). Spell resistance: No.

Arcane Locks: All doors in the warded area are arcane locked. Spell resistance: No.

Webs: Webs fill all stairs from top to bottom. These strands are identical with those created by the web spell, except that they regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while the guards and wards spell lasts. Spell resistance: Yes.

Confusion: Where there are choices in direction - such as a corridor intersection or side passage - a minor confusion-type spell functions so as to make it 50% probable that intruders believe they are going in the exact opposite direction from the one they actually chose. This is an enchantment (mind-affecting) effect. Spell resistance: No.

Lost Doors: One door per caster level is covered by a glamer to appear as if it were a plain wall. Spell resistance: No.

In addition, you can place your choice of one of the following five magical effects:

• Dancing lights in four corridors. You can designate a simple program that causes the lights to repeat as long as the guards and wards spell lasts. Spell resistance: No.
• A magic mouth in two places. Spell resistance: No.
• A stinking cloud in two places. The vapors appear in the places you deignate; they return within 10 minutes if dispersed by wind while the guards and wards spell lasts. Spell resistance: Yes.
• A gust of wind in one corridor or room. Spell resistance: Yes.
• A suggestion in one place. You select an area up to 5 feet square, and any creature who enters or passes through the area receives the suggestion mentally. Spell resistance: Yes.

The whole warded area radiates strong magic of the abjuration school. A dispel magic cast on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect. A successful Mordenkainen's disjunction destroys the entire guards and wards effect.

Guidance

divination

This spell imbues the subject with a touch of divine guidance. The creature gets a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. It must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.

Guidance of the Avatar

divination

Your deity's chosen avatar imbues the subject with divine power. The creature gets a +20 competence bonus on a single skill check and must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.

Gust of Wind

evocation

This spell creates a strong blast of air that originates from you and moves in the direction you are facing. The force of this gust automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish these lights. Creatures caught in the area may be affected. Any creature is entitled to a saving throw to ignore the gust's effects.

A gust of wind can do anything a sudden blast of wind would be expected to do. It can create a stinging spray of sand or dust, fan a large fire, overturn delicate awnings or hangings, heel over a small boat, and blow gases or vapors to the edge of the range.

Hallow

evocation [good]

Hallow makes a particular site, building, or structure a holy site. This has four major effects.

First, the site or structure is guarded by a magic circle against evil effect.

Second, all Charisma checks to turn undead gain a +4 sacred bonus and Charisma checks to command undead suffer a -4 sacred penalty. Spell resistance does not apply to this effect. (Note: This provision does not apply to the druid version of the spell.)

Third, any dead body interred in a hallowed site cannot be turned into an undead creature.

Finally, you may choose to fix a single spell effect to the hallow site. The spell effect lasts for one year and functions throughout the entire consecrated site, regardless of the normal duration and area or effect. You may designate whether the effect applies to all creatures, creatures who share your faith or alignment, or creatures who adhere to another faith or alignment. At the end of the year, the chosen effect lapses, but it can be renewed or replaced simply by casting hallow again.

Spell effects that may be tied to a hallow site include aid, bane, bless, cause fear, darkness, daylight, deeper darkness, detect evil, detect magic, dimensional anchor, discern lies, dispel magic, endure elements, freedom of movement, invisibility purge, negative energy protection, protection from elements, remove fear, resist elements, silence, tongues, and zone of truth. Spell resistance might apply to these spells' effects. (See the individual spell descriptions for details.)

An area can receive only one hallow (and its associated spell effect) at a time.

Hallow counters or dispels unhallow.

Material Components: Worth at least 1,000 gp, plus 1,000 gp per level of the spell to be included in the hallowed area.

Hallucinatory Terrain

illusion (glamer)

You make natural terrain look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Structures, equipment, and creatures within the area are not hidden or changed in appearance.

Halt Undead

necromancy

This spell renders up to three undead creatures immobile. Nonintelligent undead (such as skeletons and zombies) get no saving throw; intelligent undead do. If the spell is successful, it renders the undead immobile for the duration of the spell (similar to the effect of hold person on a living creature). The effect is broken if the halted creatures are attacked or take damage.

Harm

necromancy

Harm charges a subject with negative energy that causes the loss of all but 1d4 hit points.

If used on an undead creature, harm acts like heal.

Haste

transmutation

The transmuted creature moves and acts more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.

On his turn, the subject may take an extra partial action, either before or after his regular action.

He gains a +4 haste bonus to AC. He loses this bonus whenever he would lose a dodge bonus.

He can jump one and a half times as far as normal. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus.

Haste dispels and counters slow.

Heal

conjuration (healing)

Heal enables you to channel positive energy into a creature to wipe away disease and injury. It completely cures all diseases, blindness, deafness, hit point damage, and all temporary ability damage. It neutralizes poisons in the subject's system. so that no additional damage or effects are suffered. It offsets a feeblemind spell. It cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain. Only a single application of the spell is needed to simultaneously achieve all these effects.

Heal does not remove negative levels, restore permanently drained levels, or restore permanently drained ability scores.

If used against an undead creature, heal acts like harm.

Heal Animal Companion

conjuration (healing)

Heal animal companion enables the caster to wipe away disease and injury in one of his or her own animal companions (gained via class feature or the animal friendship spell). It completely cures all diseases, blindness, or deafness of the animal companion, cures all points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury, and repairs temporary ability damage. It cures mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain.

Heal animal companion does not remove negative levels, restore drained levels, or restore drained ability scores.

Healing Circle

conjuration (healing)

Positive energy spreads out in all directions from the point of origin, curing 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20) to nearby living allies.

Like cure spells, healing circle damages undead in its area rather than curing them.

Heal Mount

conjuration (healing)

Heal mount enables you to wipe away disease and injury in your special mount (typically a warhorse). It completely cures all diseases, blindness, or deafness of the mount, cures all points of damage taken due to wounds or injury, and repairs temporary ability damage. It cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain.

Heal mount does not remove negative levels, restore drained levels, or restore drained ability scores.

Heat Metal

transmutation

This spell is identical with chill metal except that it makes metal warm, hot (1d4 points of fire damage), and searing (2d4 points of fire damage) instead of cold, icy, and freezing. Enchanted metal gets a saving throw to resist. Just as damage from chill metal negates fire damage, so damage from heat metal negates cold damage on a one-for-one basis. If cast underwater, heat metal deals half damage and boils the surrounding water.

Heat metal counters and dispels chill metal.

Heatstroke

Transmutation

You cause the targeted creature to suffer as if it had been toiling for hours on end under the merciless hammer of the desert sun. If the target fails to resist the spell, it immediately becomes fatigued. If the target is already fatigued, it instead becomes exhausted. The target suffers 2d6 points of subdual damage from the oppressive heat as well, even if he or she makes the Fortitude saving throw to avoid fatigue or exhaustion.

Helping Hand

evocation

You create the ghostly image of a hand, which you can send to find someone within five miles. The hand then beckons to that person and leads her to you if she follows it.

When the spell is cast, the hand appears in front of you. You then specifies a person (or any creature) by physical description, which can include race, gender, and appearance but not ambiguous factors such as level, alignment, or class. When the description is complete, the hand streaks off in search of a subject that fits the description. The amount of time it takes to find the subject depends on how far away she is.

Once the hand locates the subject, it beckons her to follow it. If she follows, the hand points in your direction, leading her in the most direct, feasible route. The hand hovers 10 feet in front of the subject, moving before her at a rate of anywhere up to 240 feet per round. Once the hand leads the subject to you, it disappears.

The subject is not compelled to follow the hand or act in any particular way toward you. If she chooses not to follow, the hand continues to beckon for the duration of the spell, then disappears. If the spell expires while the subject is en route to you, the hand disappears; she will have to rely on her own devices to locate you.

If more than one subject within a five-mile radius meets the description, the hand locates the closest creature. If that creature refuses to follow the hand, the hand does not seek out a second subject.

If, at the end of 4 hours of searching, the hand has found no subject that matches the description within five miles, it returns to you, displays an outstretched palm (indicating that no such creature was found), and disappears.

The ghostly hand has no physical form. It is invisible to anyone except you and potential subjects. It cannot engage in combat or execute any other task aside from locating the subject and leading her back to you. The hand does not pass through solid objects but can ooze through small cracks and slits. The hand cannot travel more than five miles from the spot it appeared when you cat the spell.

Heroes' Feast

evocation

You bring forth a great feast, including a magnificent table, chairs, service, and food and drink. The feast takes 1 hour to consume, and the beneficial effects do not set in until this hour is over. Those partaking of the feast are cured of all diseases, are immune to poison for 12 hours, and are healed of 1d4+4 points of damage after imbibing the nectarlike beverage that is part of the feast. The ambrosial food that is consumed creates an effect equal to bless that lasts for 12 hours. During this same period, the people who consumed the feast are immune to magical fear and hopelessness.

If the feast is interrupted for any reason, the spell is ruined and all effects of the spell are negated.

Hindsight

Divination

You can see and hear into the past of your current location. The level of detail you see and hear via this spell depends on the span of time you wish to observe; concentrating on a span of days during the past renders a more detailed perspective than, say, a span of centuries. Chose a span of time from the options below:

Days

You clearly see the events of one day per caster level. You gain detailed knowledge of the people, conversations, and events that transpired.

Weeks

You gain a detailed summary of the events of one week per caster level. Exact wording and details are lost, but you know all of the participants and the highlights of the conversations and events.

Years

You gain a general idea of the events of one year per caster level. You notice only noteworthy events such as deaths, battles, scenes of great emotion, important discoveries, and significant happenings.

Centuries

You gain the general idea of the events of one century plus an additional century for every four levels of experience past 1st level. For instance, a 16th-level caster would gain insight into four centuries, and a 17th-level caster would see five centuries. You notice only the most remarkable of events: coronations, deaths of important personages, major battles, and other truly awesome happenings.

The following spells can be used in conjunction with a hindsight spell: darkvision, detect magic, detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, read magic, see invisibility, tongues, and true seeing.

Focus: An hourglass-shaped diamond worth at least 5,000 gp.

Hold Animal

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

As hold person, except the spell affects an animal instead. Hold animal does not work on beasts, magical beasts, or vermin.

Hold Monster

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

As hold person, except this spell holds any living creature who fails its Will save.

Hold Person

enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]

The subject freezes in place, standing helpless. He is aware and breathes normally but cannot take any physical actions, even speech. He can, however, execute purely mental actions (such as casting a spell with no components).

A winged creature who is held cannot flap its wings and falls. A swimmer can't swim and may drown.

Hold Portal

abjuration
