SPELL EXPLANATIONS

Each spell is presented here in exactly the same format. The spell is first identified by name and type of magic it involves. Thereafter its level, range (distance it can be cast), duration, area of effect, components, casting time, and saving throw are shown. Finally, an explanation of the spell and a description of its effects are given in some detail.

Range is shown in inches (See DISTANCE) or as "touch", which indicates the caster must physically contact the recipient of the spell with his or her hand.

Duration is given as number of turns, rounds, or simply "instantaneous", as in the case of a Lightning Bolt which lasts only a brief moment. (See TIME.)

Area of Effect shows how large an area the spell covers, or how many persons or creatures it will affect,

Components, as previously mentioned, are verbal (V), somatic (S), and/or material (M). This indicates which are part of the spell.

Casting Time shows the number of melee rounds, or segments of a melee round, required to cast the spell. Remember that there are 10 segments to a melee round, 10 melee rounds to a turn. Some spells require additional time and preparation.

Saving Throw tells whether a saving throw is possible, and if it is possible, whether success negates (neg.) the spell or reduces its effects by 50% (½).

CLERIC SPELLS

Notes regarding cleric spells:

All material components required for the various spells are used by completion of the spell in question with the notable exceptions of standard religious items, i.e. religious symbols and prayer beads or similar devices.

The reversal of some spells might well place the cleric in a questionable position with respect to alignment. The use of spells which promote weal must be shunned by evil clerics in many cases. Likewise, spells which are baneful may be used only at peril by clerics of good alignment. Incautious use of spells will change the cleric's alignment, if such usage continues unchecked, and it is up to the player to guard his or her character's alignment with care. In any event, the cleric must decide which application of a reversible spell will be used prior to learning it i.e. it is not possible to have one spell both ways. In like manner, the mere request for a spell (or its opposite) through prayer will not guarantee that the spell will be given to the cleric. As the spell level becomes higher, confidence will decrease that that deity will concur.

Your Dungeon Master might alter the material components of spells, require only religious adjuncts as material, or just do away with them. Consult your referee in this regard and ask his ruling and reasoning.

CLERIC LEVEL 1

Bless (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 6 melee rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 5" x 5" Type: Conjuration/Summoning Reversible Source: PH 43

Explanation/Description: Upon uttering the Bless spell, the caster raises the morale of friendly creatures by +1. Furthermore, it raises their "to hit" dice rolls by +1. A blessing, however, will affect only those not already engaged in melee combat. This spell can be reversed by the cleric to a curse upon enemies which lowers morale and "to hit" by -1. The caster determines at what range (up to 6") he or she will cast the spell, and it then affects all creatures in on area 5" square centered on the point the spell was cast upon. In addition to the verbal and somatic gesture components, the Bless requires holy water, while the Curse requires the sprinkling of specially polluted water.

Ceremony (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 hour Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One creature, one item, or area (see below) Type: Invocation Source: UA 32

Explanation/Description: Ceremony has a number of applications in the religious organization, depending on the level of the cleric. The effect of a Ceremony spell does not leave behind an aura of magic, although in some cases an aura of good or evil might be present (and thus detectable). The specific Ceremony spells can vary from religion to religion, but usually encompass these:

1st-level cleric: coming of age, burial, marriage 3rd-level cleric: dedication, investiture, consecrate item 5th-level cleric: ordination, special vows 7th-level cleric: consecrate ground 9th-level cleric: anathematize

Each of these varieties of the Ceremony spell requires a cleric of the indicated level or a higher one, with additional restrictions as described below. For all Ceremony spells except anathematize (see below), no saving throw is called for, since the recipient is either inanimate or presumed to be willing to be affected by the magic; any version of the spell except for anathematize will simply fail if it is cast on a person who (for some reason) is unwilling to receive the benefit. Briefly, the ceremonies listed do the following things:

Coming of age is a limited form of Bless spell which is cast upon a young man (and in some cultures a young woman) at some point relatively early in life, often the age of 12. A young person who receives this spell gets a + 1 bonus to any single saving throw, which can be taken at any time after the coming of age ceremony is completed. In some cultures, the corning of age ceremony has a symbolic significance, such that an adolescent must receive this blessing before he or she can enjoy the rights and privileges of adulthood.

Burial magically protects a corpse, and bestows it with the blessing of the religious organization. The body is shielded for one week as if by a Protection from Evil spell, and anyone trying to disinter the corpse within that time must make a saving throw versus spell or stop and flee in fear for one turn.

Marriage has no tangible after-effect (i.e., it does not guarantee happiness or harmony), but it usually carries a moral or legal significance, not dissimilar in nature to the various rites of marriage which are performed in our real world.

Dedication allows the recipient of the spell to be taken into the ranks of the casting cleric's religion, making that person a sanctioned worshiper of the cleric's deity. The effect of a dedication is permanent, unless the worshiper demonstrates a desire to change allegiance to a different deity. In such a case, the earlier dedication can be overridden by a new dedication cast by a cleric of a higher level than the one who performed the previous dedication.

The rite of investiture must be performed on any aspiring cleric before that character can achieve the status of a first-level cleric.

Ordination must be performed on a cleric before the character can become the priest of a congregation or assume similar sorts of duties, and even an adventuring cleric must be ordained before he or she can gain followers and establish a following or other sort of group. In all cases, the cleric performing the ordination must be of higher level than the recipient; this ceremony is often conducted as part of the trianing a cleric receives in order to advance from second to third level.

Special vows can be received by a would-be cavalier or paladin before that character embarks upon a career in the desired profession. The effects of this spell persist for as long as it takes the character to accumulate enough experience points to rise to the upper limit of his or her current level. The special vows can then be renewed as part of the character's training between levels, or at any time during advancement through the next higher level. A cavalier or paladin who has received special vows is immune to the effects of bestow curse spells (but not cursed items) for as long as the special vows remain in effect. Additionally, this ceremony renders the subject more susceptible (-4 on saving throw) to any quest spell cast upon him or her by a cleric of the same alignment as the caster of the special vows.

Consecrate ground should be performed upon an area before any holy (unholy) structure is built on the site. A religious edifice constructed on ground that has not been consecrated will slowly but irrevocably fall into a state of disrepair and has a 1% chance per year, cumulative, of actually collapsing as a result of this oversight. This spell must be cast before the area in question is altered in any way (e.g., landscaping) and before any construction materials are brought to the site; it will have no effect if it is done as an afterthought. Consecrate ground can also be used on a plot of land destined for use as a graveyard, and in such a case the graveyard itself automatically turns undead each round with the same effectiveness as a 3rd-level cleric. Or, if the consecration of a would-be graveyard is performed by an evil cleric, any undead creatures occupying the area are treated as if they were being protected and controlled by an evil cleric of 3rd level.

Anathematize is aform of excommunication by means of which the offender is literally branded on the cheek, forehead, arm, or hand with a symbol, sigil, or sign that identifies the subject (to those who understand the symbol) as someone who has committed a serious offense in the eyes of his or her deity. An unwilling subject of this spell is allowed a saving throw versus spell, at -4, to escape its effects. If the recipient is not truly deserving of the telling brand, the spell fails when cast. A successful atonement causes the brand to fade, and possibly vanish. If the offending actions were caused magically or by some other external force, the brand utterly disappears. If the offending actions were natural, the brand cannot be completely removed.

The components for the various Ceremony spells vary from religion to religion, but the material component always involves the use of the cleric's holy symbol in one way or another. Standard costs for the casting of these spells are as follows: coming of age, 5-1 5 sp; burial, 5-50 gp; marriage, 1-20 gp; dedication, 1-1 0 sp (or sometimes free); investiture, 1-100 gp (or sometimes free); item consecration, usually free; ordination, usually free put possibly as much as 200 gp; special vows, 1-1 00 gp (or sometimes free); consecrate ground, 100-600 gp depending on the size of the area to be affected and the level of the cleric performing the spell; and anathematize is always performed at no charge, since the casting of this spell is always deemed to be in the best interests of the cleric's religion.

Combine (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: The circle of clerics Type: Evocation Source: UA 32

Explanation/Description: This spell enables three to five clerics to combine their abilities and thereby empower one of their number to cast a spell or turn undead with greater efficacy. The highest-level cleric of the group (or one of such, as applicable) stands, while the other clerics join hands in a surrounding circle. All the participating clerics then cast the combine spell together.

The central cleric temporarily functions as if of higher level, gaining one level for each encircling cleric. The maximum gain is four levels, and the maximum duration is 3 turns. The increase applies to the cleric's effective level for determining the results of attempts to turn undead, and to spell details which vary by the level of the caster. The encircling clerics must concentrate on maintaining the combine effect. They gain no armor class bonuses from shield or dexterity, and their attackers gain a + 4 bonus on all "to hit" rolls. The central cleric gains no additional spells, but may cast any previously memorized spell(s), often with bonus effects.

Command (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 43

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric to issue a command of a single word. The command must be uttered in a language which the spell recipient is able to understand. The individual will obey to the best of his/her/its ability only so long as the command is absolutely clear and unequivocal, i.e. "Suicide!" could be a noun, so the creature would ignore the command. A command to "Die!" would cause the recipient to fall in a faint or cataleptic state for 1 round, but thereafter the creature would be alive and well. Typical command words are: back, halt, flee, run, stop, fall, fly, go, leave, surrender, sleep. rest, etc. Undead are not affected by a command. Creatures with intelligence of 13 or more, and creatures with 6 or more hit dice (or experience levels) are entitled to a saving throw versus magic. (Creatures with 13 or higher intelligence and 6 hit dice/levels do not get 2 saving throws!)

Create Water (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Up to 27 cubic feet Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 43

Explanation/Description: When the cleric casts a Create Water spell, four gallons of water are generated for every level of experience of the caster, i.e. a 2nd level cleric creates eight gallons of water, a 3rd level twelve gallons, a 4th level cleric sixteen gallons, etc. The water is clean and drinkable (it is just like rain water). Reversing the spell, Destroy Water, obliterates without trace (such as vapour, mist, fog or steam) a like quantity of water. Created water will last until normally used or evaporated, spilled, etc. Water can be created or destroyed in an area as small as will actually contain the liquid or in an area as large as 27 cubic feet (one cubic yard). The spell requires at least a drop of water to create, or a pinch of dust to destroy, water. Note that water cannot be created within a living thing.

Cure Light Wounds (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Character touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 43

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the cleric causes from 1 to 8 hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Light Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the cleric's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused light wounds are 1 to 8 hit points of damage.

Detect Evil (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 12" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn + 1/2 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: This is a spell which discovers emanations of evil, or of good in the case of the reverse spell, from any creature or object. For example, evil alignment or an evilly cursed object will radiate evil, but a hidden trap or an unintelligent viper will not. The duration of a Detect Evil (or Detect Good) spell is 1 turn + 1/2 turn (5 rounds, or 5 minutes) per level of the cleric. Thus a cleric of 1st level of experience can cast a spell with a 1 1/2 turn duration, at 2nd level a 2 turn duration, 2 1/2 at 3rd, etc. The spell has a path of detection 1" wide in the direction in which the cleric is facing. It requires the use of the cleric's holy (or unholy) symbol as its material component, with the cleric holding it before him or her.

Detect Magic (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 3" long Type: Divination Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: When the Detect Magic spell is cast, the cleric detects magical radiations in a path 1" wide, and up to 3" long, in the direction he or she is facing. The caster can turn 60 degrees per round. Note that stone walls of 1' or more thickness, solid metal of but 1/12' thickness, or 3' or more of solid wood will black the spell. The spell requires the use of the cleric's holy (or unholy) symbol.

Endure Cold / Endure Heat (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 9 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Alteration Reversible Source: UA 33

Explanation/Description: The recipient of this spell is provided with protection from normal extremes of cold or heat (depending on which application is used). He or she can stand unclothed in temperatures as low as -3OO F. or as high as 1 30° F. (depending on application) with no ill effect. A temperature extreme beyond either of those limits will cause 1 hit point of exposure damage per hour for every degree above or below those limits. (Without the benefit of protection such as this, exposure damage is 1 hit point per turn for each degree of temperature.) The spell will last for the prescribed duration, or until the recipient is affected by any form of magical cold (including white dragon breath) or magical heat. The cancellation of the spell will occur regardless of which application was used and regardless of which type of magical effect hits the character (e.g., endure coldwill be cancelled by magical heat or fire as well as by magical cold). The recipient of the spell will not suffer damage from the magical heat or cold during the round in which the spell is broken, but will be vulnerable to all such attacks starting on the following round. The spell will be cancelled instantly if either resist fire or resist cold is cast upon the recipient.

Invisibility to Undead (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 6 rounds Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One individual Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: UA 33

Explanation/Description: This spell is quite similar to Sanctuary, but only affects undead of 4 or fewer hit dice. A saving throw versus spell is made for each type of undead within 30 feet of the caster, and if failed, all undead of that type will ignore the caster completely for the duration of the spell. (Note that this negates subsequent attempts by the caster to turn those undead.) However, if the saving throw succeeds, all undead of that type will attack the spell caster in preference to any other possible targets.

The effect of this spell ends if the caster attacks or attempts to cast any other spell. If the caster is of neutral morals (with respect to good and evil), the undead save at -2. The material component is the cleric's holy symbol.

Light (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 6 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2" radius globe Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: This spell causes excitation of molecules so as to make them brightly luminous. The light thus caused is equal to torch light in brightness, but its sphere is limited to 4" in diameter. It lasts for the duration indicated (7 turns at 1st experience level, 8 at 2nd, 9 at 3rd, etc.) or until the caster utters a word to extinguish the light. The Light spell is reversible, causing darkness in the same area and under the same conditions, except the blackness persists for only one half the duration that light would last. If this spell is cast upon a creature, the applicable magic resistance and saving throw dice rolls must be made. Success indicates that the spell affects the area immediately behind the creature, rather than the creature itself. In all other cases, the spell takes effect where the caster directs as long as he or she has a line of sight or unobstructed path for the spell; fight can spring from air, rock, metal, wood, or almost any similar substance.

Magic Stone (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 2" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 6 rounds or until used Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One small stone or pebble Type: Alteration Source: UA 33

Explanation/Description: To use this spell, the cleric picks up a small stone or pebble and then (via the casting process) places a magical aura on it. The spell cannot affect stones that are already magical. The magic stone can be thrown at a target up to 4" distant (assuming no intervening obstacles and sufficient head room). It will act as a +1 weapon for "to hit" determination, and if a hit is scored the stone will do 1 point of damage. Ranges are 2"/3"14", with standard modifications. If the stone travels more than 4" from the thrower or if it does not score a hit, the missile loses its dweomer and falls harmlessly to the ground. A magic stone must be thrown within 6 rounds after the casting of the spell is completed, or it turns back into an ordinary item.

A hit from the stone will break the concentration of a spell caster only if the victim fails a saving throw versus spell. Any target with innate magic resistance cannot be affected by the stone. A shield spell will protect a target from a magic stone, as will a brooch of shielding, a protection from normal missiles spell, a minor globe of invulnerability, or any similar (more powerful) magic. A cleric of 6th through 10th level can enchant 2 stones with this spell, one of 11th through 15th level can use it on 3 stones, and an additional stone is allowed for every five levels of experience the caster has gained beyond the 11th (i.e., 4 stones at 16th level, 5 stones at 21st level, etc.). It is possible for a cleric to give the enchanted stone(s) to another character to throw. Note that some religious organizations may forbid their clerics from using this spell, since it enables the cleric to use a missile weapon (of sorts).

Portent (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Spell caster or figure touched Type: Divination Source: UA 33

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric to tell something of his or another figure's future "luck." This "luck" takes the form of an improvement or reduction in a "to hit" roll or a saving throw at some point in the future unknown to the character who is the object of the portent. After this spell is cast, the Dungeon Master makes two die rolls in secret: First, ld12, to determine at what point in the future the portent takes effect; second, l d 6 to determine the exact effect (roll of 1 = -3; 2 = -2; 3 = -1; 4 = + 1; 5 = + 2; 6 = + 3). Based upon the result of the l d 6 roll, the DM should indicate to the player of the cleric character whether the portent is good, fair (which can be moderately good or moderately bad), or poor. The recipient of the spell will usually also be given this information. The result of the d12 roll represents the number of "to hit" rolls or saving throws that the target character must make before the roll to be affected by the portent occurs; e.g, if a 12 is rolled, then the 12th such roll thereafter will be the one to which the portent is applied. Die rolls only apply toward this count if they are taken in life-or-death (i.e., combat or peril) situations; the count is suspended if the character contrives to perform (for instance) saving throws against non-harmful effects in an effort to "sidestep" the portent. Die rolls that do apply toward this count include: Saving throws made in combat or against magical effects, "to hit" rolls made by the character, and "to hit" rolls made by an opponent against the character. When the die roll designated by the portent is made, the result will be adjusted upward or downward as indicated by the result of the d6 roll; thus, the character will be either more or less likely to score a hit, more or less likely to be hit, or more or less likely to succeed on a saving throw. The material component for this spell is either a numbered wheel or tea leaves.

Precipitation (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3" diameter cylinder up to 12" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 34

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, all water vapor in the atmosphere within the area of effect is precipitated in the form of a light rain. (Note that low-level spell casters will certainly be within the area of effect of the spell.) The rain will continue for only as many segments of time as the spell caster has levels of experience. Since only some 1/100 of an inch of precipitation falls during the course of a segment, the spell will have only the following general effects:

• Thin, light material will become damp in 1 segment and thoroughly wet thereafter.

• Twigs and heavy material such as canvas will be damp in 2 segments and wet thereafter.

• Flat, relatively non-porous surfaces, such as stone floors, rock, painted wood, etc., will be damp in 1 segment and filmed with water thereafter.

• Semi-porous surfaces and materials will become damp on the surface in 2 segments, and thereafter the damp area will progress downward/inward, until after 5 segments the surface or material will be thoroughly wet.

• Porous surfaces and materials will simply absorb the rain up to the limit of their capacity--which probably extends well beyond the duration of the spell.

• Small flames, such as those of candles, will be extinguished by 1 segment of precipitation. Small fires will slow and become smoky for 1 round after precipitation has ceased. Large fires will not be materially affected by the spell.

Note that if the temperature is above 90° F., the duration of the spell will be extended to double normal except in arid regions. Also, where the temperature ranges between 33' and 31O F., the precipitation will fall in the form of sleet. At 30° F. and below, the precipitation will fall as rather thick snow, and most dampnesslwetness effects will be negated or postponed until the snow melts. If magical heat of large area (i.e., a Wall of Fire, Fireball, Flame Strike, etc.) is applied to precipitation, a cloud of warm fog of double the area of the precipitation effect will be formed. If magical cold is applied to the spell or the water which remains thereafter, normal ice will be formed. The material component of the spell is a pinch of silver dust.

Protection From Evil (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, it acts as if it were a magical armor upon the recipient. The protection encircles the recipient at a one foot distance, thus preventing bodily contact by creatures of an enchanted or conjured nature such as aerial servants, demons, devils, djinn, efreet, elementals, imps, invisible stalkers, night hags, quasits, salamanders, water weirds, wind walkers, and xorn. Summoned animals or monsters are similarly hedged from the protected creature. Furthermore, any and all attacks launched by evil creatures incur a penalty of -2 from dice rolls "to hit" the protected creature, and any saving throws caused by such attacks are made at +2 on the protected creature's dice. This spell can be reversed to become Protection From Good, although it still keeps out enchanted evil creatures as well. To complete this spell, the cleric must trace a 3' diameter circle upon the floor (or ground) with holy water for Protection From Evil, with blood for Protection From Good--or in the air using burning incense or smouldering dung with respect to evil/good.

Purify Food & Drink (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot/level, 1" square area Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: When cast, the spell will make spoiled, rotten, poisonous or otherwise contaminated food and/or water pure and suitable for eating and/or drinking. Up to 1 cubic foot of food and/or drink can be thus made suitable for consumption. The reverse of the spell putrefies food and drink, even spoiling holy water. Unholy water is spoiled by pure water.

Remove Fear (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: By touch, the cleric instills courage in the spell recipient, raising the creature's saving throw against magical fear attacks by +4 on dice rolls for 1 turn. If the recipient has already been affected by fear, and failed the appropriate saving throw, the touch allows another saving throw to be made, with a bonus of +1 on the dice for every level of experience of the caster, i.e. a 2nd level cleric gives a +2 bonus, a 3rd level +3, etc. A "to hit" dice roll must be made to touch an unwilling recipient. The reverse of the spell, Cause Fear, causes the victim to flee in panic at maximum movement speed away from the caster for 1 round per level of the cleric causing such fear. Of course, Cause Fear can be countered by Remove Fear and vice versa.

Resist Cold (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: When this spell is placed on a creature by a cleric, the creature's body is inured to cold. The recipient can stand zero degrees Fahrenheit without discomfort, even totally nude. Greater cold, such as that produced by a sword of cold, ice storm, cold wand, or white dragon's breath, must be saved against. All saving throws against cold are made with a bonus of +3, and damage sustained is one-half (if the saving throw is not made) or one- quarter (if the saving throw is made) of damage normal from that attack form. The resistance lasts for 1 turn per level of experience of the caster. A pinch of sulfur is necessary to complete this spell.

Sanctuary (Cleric Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 2 rounds + round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Abjuration Source: PH 44

Explanation/Description: When the cleric casts a Sanctuary spell, any opponent must make a saving throw versus magic in order to strike or otherwise attack him or her. If the saving throw is not made, the creature will attack another and totally ignore the cleric protected by the spell. If the saving throw is made, the cleric is subject to normal attack process including dicing for weapons to hit, saving throws, damage. Note that this spell does not prevent the operation of area attacks (Fireball, Ice Storm, etc.). During the period of protection afforded by this spell, the cleric cannot take offensive action, but he or she may use non-attack spells or otherwise act in any way which does not violate the prohibition against offensive action, This allows the cleric to heal wounds, for example, or to bless, perform an augury, chant, cast a light in the area (not upon on opponent!), and so on, The components of the spell include the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a small silver mirror.

CLERIC LEVEL 2

Aid (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 1 round + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One person Type: Necromantic-Conjuration Source: UA 34

Explanation/Description: The recipient of this spell gains the benefit of a bless spell and a special benison of 1-8 additional hit points. The bless lasts as long as the Aid spell, as do the hit points thus gained. The Aid allows a character to actually have more hit points than the character's full normal total. The added hit points last only for the duration of the Aid spell. Any damage taken by the recipient while the Aid spell is in effect is taken off the 1-8 additional hit points before regular ones are lost. Hit points bestowed by an Aid spell and then lost cannot be regained by curative magic. Example: A 1st-level fighter has 8 hit points, takes 2 points of damage, and then receives an Aid spell which gives 6 additional hit points. The fighter now has 12 hit points, 6 of which are temporary. If he is then hit for 7 points of damage, 1 regular point and all 6 of the temporary points are lost. The material components of this spell are a tiny strip of white cloth with a sticky substance (such as tree sap) on the ends, plus the cleric's holy symbol.

Augury (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 2 rounds Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Type: Divination Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: The cleric casting an Augury spell seeks to divine whether an action in the immediate future (within 3 turns) will be for the benefit of, or harmful to, the party. The base chance for correctly divining the augury is 70%, plus 1% far each level of the cleric casting the spell, i.e. 71% at 1st level, 72% at 2nd, etc, Your referee will determine any adjustments due far the particular conditions of each augury. For example, assume that a party is considering the destruction of a weird seal which closes a portal. Augury is used to find if weal or woe will be the ultimate result to the party. The material component for Augury is a set of gem-inlaid sticks, dragon bones, or similar tokens, or the wet leaves of on infusion which remain in the container after the infused brew is consumed. If the last method is used, a crushed pearl of at least 100 g.p. value must be added to the concoction before it is consumed.

Chant (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Time of chanting Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3" radius Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: By means of the chant, the cleric brings into being a special favor upon himself or herself and his or her party, and causes harm to his or her enemies. Once the Chant spell is completed, all attacks, damage and saving throws made by those in the area of effect who are friendly to the cleric are at +1, while those of the cleric's enemies are at -1. This bonus/penalty continues as long as the cleric continues to chant the mystic syllables and is stationary. An interruption, however, such as an attack which succeeds and causes damage, grappling the chanter, or a magical silence, will break the spell.

Detect Charm (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: When used by a cleric, this spell will detect whether or not a person or monster is under the influence of a charm spell. Up to 10 creatures can be thus checked before the spell wanes. The reverse of the spell protects from such detection, but only a single creature can be so shielded.

Detect Life (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 10'/level Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 5 rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect One creature Type: Divination Source: UA 34

Explanation/Description: By the use of this spell, a cleric can tell if a target creature is alive. The magic will detect life in the recipient of a Feign Death spell, or someone in a coma, death-like trance, or state of suspended animation. If cast upon the body of a creature that is engaged in astral travel, it will reveal that the creature is alive. The spell works on plants and plant creatures as well as animals. The spell's range is diminished if more than a one-inch thickness of wood or stone lies between the cleric and the subject. Each inch of thickness of a wood or stone barrier is treated as 10 feet of open space. A barrier of metal of any thickness will cause the spell to fail and be ruined. Any form of mental protection, including those of psionic or magical nature, will likewise ruin the spell without anything being detected. The spell will detect the first living creature that lies along the cleric's line of sight (and within range), or else the first creature that crosses the line-of-sight path before the duration expires.

Dust Devil (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 34

Explanation/Description: This spell enables a cleric to conjure up a weak air elemental--a dust devil of AC 4,2 HD, MV 18", 1 attack for 1-4 points of damage, which can be hit by normal weapons. Magic weapons of any type cause it double damage. The dust devil appears as a small whirlwind 5 feet in diameter at its base, 15 feet tall, and 10 feet across at the top. It will move as directed by the cleric, but will be dispelled if ordered to go farther than 3 " away from the spell caster. The winds of the dust devilcan hold a gas cloud or a creature in gaseous form at bay or push it away from the caster (though it cannot damage or dispel such a cloud). Its winds are sufficient to put out torches, small campfires, exposed lanterns, and other small, open flames of non-magical origin. If skimming along the ground in an area of loose dust, sand or ash, the dust devil will pick up those particles and disperse them in a cloud 30 feet in diameter centered around the dust devil. Normal vision is not possible through the cloud, and creatures caught in the cloud will be effectively blinded until one round after they are free of it. Spell casting is virtually impossible for someone caught inside such a cloud or inside the dust devil itself; even if the creature fails to score damage on the victim from the buffeting of its winds, a spell caster must make a saving throw versus spell to keep his or her concentration (and the spell) from being ruined. Any creature native to the Elemental Plane of Air--even another creature of the same sort--can dismiss a dust devil at will from a distance of 3 " or less. Creatures not native to the plane occupied by the spell caster are not affected by the dust devil. It is automatically dispelled if it contacts any creature with innate magic resistance--but not until after it gets a chance to hit and do damage.

Enthrall (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 90' radius Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: UA 34

Explanation/Description: A cleric who uses this spell can bind and enthrall an audience that can fully understand his or her language. Listeners of the same race as the cleric are allowed a saving throw versus spell; those of a different race which is generally unfriendly to the cleric's race save at +4. It is impossible to enthrall a character or creature with more than 4 levels or hit dice, or one with a wisdom score greater than 15.

To effect the spell, the caster must speak without interruption for a full round. Thereafter, the enchantment lasts for as long as the cleric keeps speaking, to a maximum of 6 turns. Those who fail their saving throw will view the cleric as if he or she had a charisma of 21 (loyalty base +70%, reaction adjustment +50%). They will stand and listen to the cleric's words, but will not act on them as if a suggestion had been cast. When the cleric stops talking, the spell is broken and the listeners regain control of their own minds. Any form of attack (i.e., a successful hit or the casting of a spell) against the cleric will instantly cancel the enthrall spell, as will any attempt by the cleric to cast a different spell or perform some other action. Members of the audience who make a successful saving throw will view the cleric as having a charisma of 3; they may (50% chance) hoot and jeer, allowing a new saving throw for others listening. If the cleric tries to take undue advantage of the spell by preaching about a religion or alignment opposed to that to which the members of the audience subscribe, each "offended" listener is allowed a new saving throw at +5.

Find Traps (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 5 turns Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path Type: Divination Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: When a cleric casts a find traps spell, all traps--concealed normally or magically--of magical or mechanical nature become visible to him or her. Note that this spell is directional. and the caster must face the desired direction in order to determine if a trap is laid in that particular direction.

Hold Person (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One to three creatures Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: This spell holds immobile, and freezes in places, from 1-3 humans or humanoid creatures (see below) for 5 or more melee rounds. The level of the cleric casting the Hold Person spell dictates the length of time the effect will last. The basic duration is 5 melee rounds at 1st level, 6 rounds at 2nd level, 7 rounds at 3rd level, etc. If the spell is cast at three persons, each gets a saving throw at the normal score; if only two persons are being enspelled, each makes their saving throw at -1 on their die; if the spell is cast at but one person, the saving throw die is at -2. Persons making their saving throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Creatures affected by a Hold Person spell are: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, and troglodytes. The spell caster needs a small, straight piece of iron as the material component of this spell.

Holy Symbol (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One object Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 35

Explanation/Description: This spell is used to prepare a cleric's holy symbol, or to create a new symbol to replace a lost or damaged one. The new symbol-to-be, which is the spell's material component (and obviously is not consumed in the casting), must be crafted of appropriate material depending on the religion/deity in question, and must be of the proper shape and design--a cleric cannot pick up just any item and make it into a holy symbol. A cleric may possess two holy symbols at one time, and this spell can be used to create a second one as a spare. No cleric can create a holy symbol related to a religion or deity other than the one that he or she worships. The holy symbol of a good or evil cleric will radiate a faint aura of good or evil, but is not a magical object per se. The holy symbol of a cleric who is of neutral morals (with respect to good and evil) will have no such aura.

Know Alignment (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature/round Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: A Know Alignment spell enables the cleric to exactly read the aura of a person--human, semi-human, or non-human. This will reveal the exact alignment of the person. Up to 10 persons can be examined with this spell. The reverse totally obscures alignment, even from this spell, of a single person for 1 turn, two persons for 5 rounds, etc. Certain magical devices will negate the ability to Know Alignment.

Messenger (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2"/level Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: UA 35

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric to call upon a small (size S) creature of at least animal intelligence to act as his or her messenger. The spell does not affect creatures that are "giant" types, and it will not work on creatures with an intelligence score of 4 or higher, or with a rating of low intelligence or better (whichever applies). If the creature is already within range, the cleric, using some type of food desirable to the animal as a lure, can call the animal to come. The animal is allowed a saving throw versus spell, and if this succeeds the spell fails. If the saving throw is failed, the animal will advance toward the cleric and await his or her bidding. The cleric can communicate with the animal in a crude fashion, telling it to go to a certain place, but directions must be simple. The spell caster can attach some small item or note to the animal. If so instructed, the animal will then wait at that location until the duration of the spell expires. (Note that unless the intended recipient of a message is expecting a messenger in the form of a small animal or bird, the carrier may be ignored.) When the spell's duration expires, the animal or bird will return to its normal activities. The intended receiver of a message gains no communication ability.

Resist Fire (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: When this spell is placed upon a creature by a cleric, the creature's body is toughened to withstand heat, and boiling temperature is comfortable. The recipient of the resist tire spell can even stand in the midst of very hot or magical fires such as those produced by red- hot charcoal, a large amount of burning oil, flaming swords, fire storms, fire balls, meteor swarms. or red dragon's breath--but these will affect the creature, to some extent. The recipient of the spell gains a bonus of +3 an saving throws against such attack forms, and all damage sustained is reduced by 50%; therefore, if the saving throw is not made, the creature sustains one- half damage, and if the saving throw is mode only one-quarter damage is sustained, Resistance to fire lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric placing the spell. The caster needs a drop of mercury as the material component of this spell.

Silence, 15' Radius (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 30' diameter sphere Type: Alteration Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: Upon casting this spell, complete silence prevails in the area of its effect. All sound is stopped, so all conversation is impossible, spells cannot be cast and no noise whatsoever issues forth, The spell can be cast into the air or upon an object. The spell of Silence lasts for 2 rounds for each level of experience of the cleric, i.e. 2 rounds at 1st level, 4 at 2nd, 6 at 3rd, 8 at 4th and so forth. The spell can be cast upon a creature, and the effect will then radiate from the creature and move as it moves. If the creature is unwilling, it saves against the spell, and if the saving throw is made, the spell effect locates about one foot behind the target creature.

Slow Poison (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Source: PH 45

Explanation/Description: When this spell is placed upon a poisoned individual it greatly slows the effects of any venom, even causing a supposedly dead individual to have life restored if it is cast upon the victim within a number of turns less than or equal to the level of experience of the cleric after the poisoning was suffered. i.e. a victim poisoned up to 10 turns previously could be temporarily saved by a 10th or higher level cleric who cast Slow Poison upon the victim. While this spell does not neutralize the venom, it does prevent it from substantially harming the individual for the duration of its magic, but each turn the poisoned creature will lose 1 hit point from the effect of the venom (although the victim will never go below 1 hit point while the Slow Poison spell's duration lasts). Thus, in the example above, the victim poisoned 10 turns previously has only 10 hit points, so when the 10th level cleric casts the spell, the victim remains with 1 hit point until the spell duration expires, and hopefully during that period a full cure can be accomplished. The material components of this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a bud of garlic which must be crushed and smeared on the victim's bare feet.

Snake Charm (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, a hypnotic pattern is set up which causes one or more snakes to cease all activity except a semi-erect postured swaying movement. If the snakes are charmed while in a torpor, the duration of the spell is 3 to 6 turns (d4 + 2); if the snakes are not torpid, but are not aroused and angry, the charm lasts 1 to 3 turns; if the snakes are angry and/or attacking, the snake charm spell will last from 5 to 8 melee rounds (d4+4). The cleric casting the spell can charm snakes whose hit points are less than or equal to those of the cleric. On the average, a 1st level cleric could charm snakes with a total of 4 or 5 hit points; a 2nd level cleric 9 hit points, a 3rd level 13 or 14 hit points, etc. The hit points can represent a single snake or several of the reptiles, but the total hit points cannot exceed those of the cleric casting the spell.

Speak With Animals (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One animal within 3" radius of cleric Type: Alteration Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: By employing this spell, the cleric is empowered to comprehend and communicate with any warm or cold-blooded animal which is not mindless (such as an amoeba). The cleric is able to ask questions, receive answers, and generally be on amicable terms with the animal. This ability lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the cleric employing the spell. Even if the bent of the animal is opposite to that of the cleric (evil/good, good/evil), it and any others of the same kind with it will not attack while the spell lasts. If the animal is neutral or of the some general bent as the cleric (evil/evil, good/good), there is a possibility that the animal, and its like associates, will do some favor or service for the cleric. This possibility will be determined by the referee by consulting a special reaction chart, using the charisma of the cleric and his actions as the major determinants. Note that this spell differs from Speak With Monsters (q.v.), for it allows conversation only with basically normal, non-fantastic creatures such as apes, bears, cats, dogs, elephants, and so on.

Spiritual Hammer (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One opponent Type: Invocation Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: By calling upon his or her deity, the cleric casting a Spiritual Hammer spell brings into existence a field of force which is shaped vaguely like a hammer. This area of force is hammer-sized, and as long as the cleric who invoked it concentrates upon the hammer, it will strike at any opponent within its range as desired by the cleric. The force area strikes as a magical weapon equal to one plus per 3 levels of experience of the spell caster for purposes of being able to strike creatures, although it has no magical pluses whatsoever "to hit", and the damage it causes when it scores a hit is exactly the same as a normal war hammer, i.e. 1-6 versus opponents of man-size or smaller, 1-4 upon larger opponents. Furthermore, the hammer strikes at exactly the same level as the cleric controlling it, just as if the cleric was personally wielding the weapon. As soon as the cleric ceases concentration, the Spiritual Hammer is dispelled. Note: If the cleric is behind an opponent, the force can strike from this position, thus gaining all bonuses for such an attack and negating defensive protections such as shield and dexterity. The material component of this spell is a normal war hammer which the cleric must hurl towards opponents whilst uttering a plea to his or her deity. The hammer disappears when the spell is cast.

Withdraw (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: The cleric Type: Alteration Source: UA 35

Explanation/Description: By means of a Withdraw spell, the cleric effectively alters the flow of time with regard to himself or herself. While but 1 segment of time passes for those not affected by the spell, the cleric is able to spend 1 round of time in contemplation. The base spell duration is 2 segments (2 rounds, from the cleric's point of view), and the cleric adds 1 additional increment of time for each level of experience he or she possesses. Thus, at the 5th level of experience, the spell caster could spend up to 6 rounds cogitating on some matter while but 6 segments of time passed for all others. (The DM must allow the spell caster l minute of real time per segment to ponder some problem or question. No discussion with non-affected characters is permitted.) Note that while affected by the Withdraw spell, the cleric can perform only these particular acts: the casting of an Augury spell, any curing or healing spells, or any informational spells--and all such spells can only be cast upon the cleric himself or herself. The casting of any of these spells in a different fashion (e.g., a cure light wounds bestowed upon a companion) will cause the magic of the Withdraw spell to cease. Similarly, the cleric who is affected by the Withdraw spell cannot walk or run, become invisible, or otherwise engage in actions other than thinking, reading, and the like. The withdrawn cleric can be affected by the actions of others while under the influence of this spell, and any attack upon the cleric which succeeds will break the spell.

Wyvern Watch (Cleric Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 8 hours or until strike Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 1' diameter sphere Type: Evocation Source: UA 35

Explanation/Description: This spell is known as Wyvern Watch because of the insubstantial haze brought forth by its casting, which vaguely resembles a wyvern. It is typically used to guard some area against intrusion. Any creature that approaches within 1 " of the area in question is subject to attack from the spell force.The "wyvern" will strike, and any creature so attacked must make its saving throw versus spell or else stand paralyzed for 1 round per level of the caster, or until freed by the spell caster, by a Dispel Magic spell, or by a Remove Paralysis spell. A successful saving throw indicates that the target creature was missed by the attack of the wyvern-form, and the spell remains in place. As soon as a target creature is successfully struck by the wyvern-form, the paralysis takes effect and the force of the spell itself is dissipated. The spell force will likewise dissipate if no intruder is struck by the wyvern-form for 8 hours after the spell is cast. Any creature approaching the space being guarded by the wyvern-form may be able to detect its presence before coming close enough to be attacked; this chance of detection is 90% in bright light, 30% in twilight conditions, and 0% in darkness. The material component is the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

CLERIC LEVEL 3

Animate Dead (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Necromantic Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: This spell creates the lowest of the undead monsters, skeletons or zombies, from the bones or bodies of dead humans. The effect is to cause these remains to become animated and obey the commands of the cleric casting the spell. The skeletons or zombies will follow, remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific type of creature) entering the place, etc. The spell will animate the monsters until they are destroyed or until the magic is dispelled. (See Dispel Magic spell). The cleric is able to animate 1 skeleton or 1 zombie for each level of experience he or she has attained. Thus, a 2nd level cleric can animate 2 of these monsters, a 3rd level 3, etc. The act of animating dead is not basically a good one, and it must be used with careful consideration and good reason by clerics of good alignment. It requires a drop of blood, a piece of human flesh, and a pinch of bone powder or a bone shard to complete the spell.

Cloudburst (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 3" diam. cylinder up to 6" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 35

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the caster causes the atmosphere to instantly precipitate all of its water vapor in the form of huge drops of rain, the resulting condensation not only causing a true downburst of rain but also sucking more vapor into the area to likewise be precipitated. The cloudburst will effectively drench everything in its area of effect within 1 segment, for its rain will fall at the rate of 1/10 inch per segment, or 1 inch of rainfall in 1 round. All normal fires within the area of effect will be extinguished by a cloudburst--small ones instantly, medium-sized ones in 3-5 segments, and large-sized ones in 8-10 segments. Magical fires will also be extinguished by a cloudburst, with the following general rules applying:

• Permanent magical fires will re-light in 1-2 rounds. Small, rekindlable magical fires such as that of a flame tongue sword will be affected only during the actual cloudburst.

• Spells such as produce fire and burning hands will be negated. Large-area spells such as fireball, flame strike, wall of fire, etc., will, in the course of being extinguished, vaporize the rain into a cloud of steam covering an area four times as large as the spell's area of effect (i.e., a cylinder of up to 12" in diameter and as much as 24" high). This steam will inflict 1-3 points of damage per round on normal creatures within its area, and will do twice that damage to cold-dwelling or cold-using creatures. The cloud of steam will persist for 2-5 rounds, half that if a breeze is blowing, or only 1 round if a strong wind is blowing.

In arid regions, the cloudburst will act only as a double-strength Precipitation spell. In hot and humid areas, the duration of the spell will be extended to 2 rounds. In areas with a temperature between 33º and 31ºF. inclusive, sleet rather than rain will fall, with ice and slush being formed when it accumulates. In temperatures of 30ºF. and lower, the cloudburst becomes a snowburst, with one inch of snow per segment falling. The material components for the spell are powdered silver and powdered iodine crystals, plus the cleric's holy symbol.

Continual Light (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" radius globe Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: This spell causes excitation of molecules so as to make them brightly luminous. The light thus caused is nearly as illuminating as full daylight in brightness, but its sphere is limited to 4" in diameter. It lasts until the caster utters a word to extinguish the light. The Continual Light spell is reversible, causing darkness in the same area and under the same conditions. If this spell is cast upon a creature, the applicable magic resistance and saving throw dice rolls must be made. Success indicates that the spell affects the area immediately behind the creature, rather than the creature itself. In all other cases, the spell takes effect where the caster directs as long as he or she has a line of sight or unobstructed path for the spell; light can spring from air, rock, metal, wood, or almost any similar substance.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is similar to a Light spell, except that it lasts until negated (by a Continual Darkness or Dispel Magic spell) and its brightness is very great, being nearly as illuminating as full daylight. It can be cast into air, onto an object, or at a creature, In the third case, the Continual Light affects the space about one foot behind the creature if the latter makes its saving throw. Note that this spell will blind a creature if it is successfully cast upon the visual organs, for example. Its reverse causes complete absence of light.)

Create Food & Water (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the cleric causes food and/or water to appear. The food thus created is highly nourishing, and each cubic foot of the material will sustain three human-sized creatures or one horse-sized creature for a full day. For each level of experience the cleric has attained, 1 cubic foot of food and/or water is created by the spell, i.e. 2 cubic feet of food are created by a 2nd level cleric, 3 by a 3rd, 4 by a 4th, and so on; or the 2nd level cleric could create 1 cubic foot of food and 1 cubic foot of water, etc.

Cure Blindness (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: By touching the creature afflicted, the cleric employing the spell can permanently cure most forms of blindness. Its reverse, Cause Blindness, requires a successful touch upon the victim, and if the victim then makes the saving throw, the effect is negated.

Cure Disease (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 46

Explanation/Description: The cleric cures most diseases--including those of a parasitic, bacterial, or viral nature--by placing his or her hand upon the diseased creature. The affliction rapidly disappears thereafter, making the cured creature whole and well in from 1 turn to 1 week, depending on the kind of disease and the state of its advancement when the cure took place. The reverse of the Cure Disease spell is Cause Disease. To be effective. the cleric must touch the intended victim, and the victim must fail the saving throw. The disease caused will begin to affect the victim in 16 turns, causing the afflicted creature to lose 1 hit point per turn, and 1 point of strength per hour, until the creature is at 10% of original hit points and strength, at which time the afflicted is weak and virtually helpless.

Death's Door (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One human or demi-human Type: Necromantic Source: UA 36

Explanation/Description: When a cleric employs this spell, he or she touches a human or demi-human who is unconscious and "at death's door" (-1 to -9 hit points). The spell immediately brings the individual to 0 hit points. While the individual remains unconscious, bleeding and deterioration are stopped for the duration of the Death's Door spell. The subject, because of being treated by the spell and now being at 0 hit points, can be brought to consciousness, and have hit points restored, by means of Cure Light Wounds, Cure Serious Wounds, etc., potions such as healing or extra-healing, or clerical or other items which magically restore lost hit points. The material components of the spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol, a bit of white linen, and any form of unguent.

Dispel Magic (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3" cube Type: Abjuration Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: When a cleric casts this spell, it neutralizes or negates the magic it comes in contact with as follows: A Dispel Magic will not affect a specially enchanted item such as a scroll, magic ring, wand, rod, staff, miscellaneous magic item, magic weapon, magic shield, or magic armor. It will destroy magic potions (they are treated as 12th level for purposes of this spell), remove spells cast upon persons or objects, or counter the casting of spells in the area of effect. The base chance for success of a Dispel Magic spell is 50%. For every level of experience of the character casting the Dispel Magic above that of the creature whose magic is to be dispelled (or above the efficiency level of the object from which the magic is issuing), the base chance increases by 5%, so that if there are 10 levels of difference, there is a 100% chance. For every level below the experience/efficiency level of the creature/object, the base chance is reduced by 2%. Note that this spell can be very effective when used upon charmed and similarly beguiled creatures. It is automatic in negating the spell caster's own magic.

Feign Death (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One person Type: Necromantic Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster or any other creature can be put into a cataleptic state which is impossible to distinguish from actual death. Although the person/creature affected by the Feign Death spell can smell, hear, and know what is going on, no feeling or sight of any sort is possible; thus, any wounding or mistreatment of the body will not be felt and no reaction will occur and damage will be only one-half normal. In addition, paralysis, poison, or energy level drain will not affect the individual/creature under the influence of this spell, but poison injected or otherwise introduced into the body will become effective when the spell recipient is no longer under the influence of this spell, although a saving throw is permitted. Note that only a willing individual can be affected by Feign Death. The spell caster is able to end the spell effects at any time desired, but it requires 1 full round for bodily functions to begin again. The material components are a pinch of graveyard dirt and the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the third level magic-user spell, Feign Death (q.v.). Note that a character of any level may be affected by the cleric casting this spell, and that the material components are a pinch of graveyard dirt and the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.)

Flame Walk (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 turn + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: UA 36

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the caster is able to empower himself or herself, or another creature of man-size and comparable mass, to withstand non-magical fires up to temperatures of 2,000ºF. It also confers a +2 bonus to saving throws against magical fires. For every level of experience above the minimum required to create the dweomer (5th), the caster can affect an additional man-sized creature. This growing power enables multiple individuals, or one or more of greater than man-size and mass, to be affected by the Flame Walk spell. For instance, an 1lth-level caster could empower both himself or herself and a steed such as a horse to move in molten lava. (Consider a horse to be equivalent to 6 humans for purposes of this spell; conversely, halfling-sized creatures count as 1/2 human apiece, and pixie-sized creatures are considered equivalent to 1/4 human each.) The material components of the spell are at least 500 gp of powdered ruby and the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

Glyph of Warding (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: Special Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 25 square feet per level of the spell caster Type: Abjuration-Evocation Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: A Glyph of Warding is a powerful inscription magically drawn to prevent unauthorized or hostile creatures from passing, entering, or opening. It can be used to guard a small bridge, ward an entry, or as a trap on a chest or box. When the spell is cast, the cleric weaves a tracery of faintly glowing lines around the warding sigil. For every square foot of area to be protected, 1 segment of time is required to trace the warding lines from the glyph, plus the initial segment during which the sigil itself is traced. A maximum of a 5' X 5' area per level can be warded. When the spell is completed, the glyph and tracery become invisible, but any creature touching the protected area without first speaking the name of the glyph the cleric has used to serve as a ward will be subject to the magic it stores. Saving throws apply, and will either reduce effects by one-half or negate them according to the glyph employed. The cleric must use incense to trace this spell, and then sprinkle the area with powdered diamond (at least 2,000 g.p. worth) if it exceeds 50 square feet. Typical glyphs shock for 2 points of electrical damage per level of the spell caster, explode for a like amount of fire damage, paralyze, blind, or even drain a life energy level (if the cleric is of high enough level to cast this glyph).

Locate Object (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: This spell aids in location of a known or familiar object. The cleric casts the spell, slowly turns, and knows when he or she is facing in the direction of the object to be located, provided the object is within range, i.e. 7" for 1st level clerics, 8" for 2nd, 9" for 3rd, etc. The casting requires the use of a piece of lodestone, The spell will locate such objects as apparel, jewellery, furniture, tools, weapons, or even a ladder or stairway. By reversal (Obscure Object), the cleric is able to hide an object from location by spell, crystal ball, or similar means. Neither application of the spell will affect a living creature.

Magical Vestment (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 6 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: The cleric Type: Conjuration/Alteration Source: UA 36

Explanation/Description: This spell enchants the caster's vestment, providing protection equivalent to armor. It will only function while the cleric is on ground consecrated to his or her deity (cf. 1st-level Ceremony spell). If any armor or protective device is worn during the spell duration, the vestment protects as if normal chain mail armor. If no other protection is worn, the vestment also gains a +1 enchantment for each four levels of the cleric, to a maximum effect of chain mail +4 (base AC 1). The magic lasts for 6 rounds per level of the caster, or until the caster loses consciousness or leaves the consecrated area. The material components are the vestment to be enchanted and the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

Meld into Stone (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 8 rounds + 1-8 Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: UA 36

Explanation/Description: The magic of this spell, when properly cast, allows the cleric to meld his or her body and possessions worn or carried into a large stone. To effect the spell, the cleric stands next to the stone to be melded into (which must be large enough to accommodate the cleric's body in all three dimensions) while holding a small sample of the same type of stone. When casting is complete, the cleric and up to 100 pounds of his or her non-living gear blend into the stone. Magical artifacts and relics are not affected by the spell. If the dimensions of the stone are not sufficient, or if the cleric is wearing and carrying more than 100 pounds of gear, the spell will fail and be wasted. The magic lasts for 9-16 (1d8 + 8) rounds, the variable part of the duration rolled secretly by the DM. At any time before the duration expires, the cleric can step out of the stone along the same surface that he or she used to enter it (i.e., the spell does not allow movement through the stone such as would apasswallorphase door spell). If the duration runs out before the cleric exits the stone, then he or she will be expelled from the stone and take 4-32 (4d8) points of damage--and each piece of gear affected must save versus petrification or turn to stone. While in the stone, the cleric is aware of the passage of time; however, he or she cannot see or hear anything that may be going on around the stone. The following spells will harm the cleric if cast upon the stone that he or she is occupying: Stone to Flesh will expel the cleric and inflict 4-32 points of damage, but items carried need not save. Stone Shape will cause 4-16 (4d4) points of damage, but will not expel the cleric. Transmute Rock to Mud expels the cleric and will slay the victim instantly unless he or she makes a successful saving throw versus spell.

Negative Plane Projection (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One Prime Material Plane creature Type: Abjuration Source: UA 36

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the caster or any other eligible creature touched to be partially protected from an undead monster that has an existence on the Negative Material Plane (such as a shadow, wight, wraith, spectre, or vampire). The dweomer of the spell opens a channel to the Positive Material Plane, the energy from which helps to offset the effect of the undead creature's attack. The recipient is allowed a saving throw versus death magic if he or she is touched (attacked) by an undead creature. Success indicates that the recipient takes normal hit-point damage from the attack, but does not suffer the drain of experience that would otherwise take place. In addition, the undead creature takes 2-12 (2d6) hit points of damage from the Positive Plane energy. The magic is only proof against one such attack, and dissipates after that attack whether or not the saving throw is successful. If the saving throw versus death magic is failed, the recipient of the spell takes double the usual physical damage in addition to the loss of experience that normally occurs. The spell will also protect the recipient from the effect of a magic-user's energy drain spell, but in such a case the magic-user is not affected. The contact between the Positive and Negative Planes that this spell brings about will cause a bright flash of light and a sound like that of a thunderclap, but these phenomena do not cause damage in any event. The protection will last for 1 turn per level of the cleric casting the spell, or until the recipient is successfully attacked by an undead monster. This spell cannot be cast on the Negative Material Plane.

Prayer (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" radius Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: By means of Prayer, the cleric brings into being a special favor upon himself or herself and his or her party, and causes harm to his or her enemies. Once the Prayer spell is completed, all attacks, damage and saving throws made by those in the area of effect who are friendly to the cleric are at +1, while those of the cleric's enemies are at -1.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell exactly duplicates the effects of a Chant with regard to bonuses of +1 for friendly attacks and saving throws and -1 on like enemy dice. However, once the Prayer is uttered, the cleric can do other things, unlike a Chant which he or she must continue to make the spell effective. The cleric needs a silver holy symbol, prayer beads, or a similar device as the material component of this spell.)

Remove Curse (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Special Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 47

Explanation/Description: Upon casting this spell, the cleric is usually able to remove a curse--whether it be on an object, a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the Remove Curse spell will not affect a cursed shield, weapon or suit of armor, for example, although the spell will typically enable the person afflicted with any such cursed item to be rid of it. The reverse of the spell is not permanent; the Bestow Curse lasts for 1 turn for every level of experience of the cleric using the spell. It will lower one ability of the victim to 3 (your DM will determine which by random selection) 50% of the time; reduce the victim's "to hit" and saving throw probabilities by -4 25% of the time; or make the victim 50% likely per turn to drop whatever he, she, or it is holding (or simply do nothing in the case of creatures not using tools) 25% of the time. It is possible for a cleric to devise his or her own curse, and it should be similar in power to those shown. Consult your referee. The target of a Bestow Curse spell must be touched. If the victim is touched, a saving throw is still applicable; and if it is successful, the effect is negated.

Remove Paralysis (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1-4 creatures in a 2"x2" area Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: UA 37

Explanation/Description: By the use of this spell, the cleric can free the subject creature(s) from the effects of paralyzation or similar forces (such as a hold spell). By casting this spell and then pointing his or her finger in the proper direction, the cleric can remove paralysis from as many as 4 creatures that are within range and within the area of effect. There must be no physical or magical barrier between the caster and the creature(s) to be affected, or else the spell will fail and be wasted. Each target of the spell obtains a new saving throw versus paralyzation, at a + 3 bonus if only one creature is involved, + 2 if two creatures are to be affected, and + 1 if three or four creatures are the target.

The reverse of the spell, Cause Paralysis, can affect only one target, which must be touched by the cleric (successful roll "to hit") using his or her holy/unholy symbol. If the victim fails a saving throw versus spell, paralyzation will set in for a duration of 1-6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the caster. Clerics of good alignment should be very discerning in their use of causeparalysis, and this spell might actually be prohibited to clerics belonging to certain good-aligned orders.

Speak With The Dead (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Necromantic Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: Upon casting a Speak With The Dead spell, the cleric is able to ask several questions of a dead creature in a set period of time and receive answers according to the knowledge of that creature. Of course, the cleric must be able to converse in the language which the dead creature once used. The length of time the creature has been dead is a factor, since only higher level clerics can converse with the long-dead. Likewise, the number of questions which can be answered and the length of time in which the questions can be asked are dependent upon the level of experience of the cleric. The cleric needs a holy symbol and burning incense in order to cast this spell upon the body, remains, or portion thereof.

Water Walk (Cleric Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 turn + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Source:* UA 37

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster is able to empower himself or herself or another creature of man-size and comparable mass to tread upon water as if it were firm, grassy ground (cf. ring of water walking). For every level of the caster above the minimum required to create the dweomer (5th level), he or she can affect an additional man-sized creature. This growing power enables multiple individuals, or one or more of greater size and mass, to be affected by the water walk spell. For instance, an 11th-level caster could additionally affect a horse, so that he or she could move atop the waves while mounted. (Consider a horse to be equivalent to 6 humans for purposes of this spell.) The material components for this spell are a piece of cork and the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

CLERIC LEVEL 4

Abjure (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. (see below) Area of Effect: One creature Type: Aburation Reversible Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 37

Explanation/Description: When a cleric employs a spell of this sort, he or she is attempting to return a creature from another plane of existence to its own plane. The exact name of the type of creature to be affected by the Abjure spell must be known. If the creature also has a specific (proper) name, then that too must be known and used. The naming cleric then compares his or her level against the level or hit dice of the creature under abjuration, in the same way that the success of a Dispel Magic spell is determined (base 50% chance of success, plus or minus the level/HD difference between the caster and the creature to be affected). The percent chance for success is then compared to a percentile dice roll. If the roll is equal to or less than the chance to abjure, the creature is instantly sent back to its own plane. In all other cases the spell fails. (The creature might not wish to remain on the caster's plane, and in such a case it could be appreciative of the cleric's attempt to return it to its home.)

The reverse of this spell, Implore, entreats some like-aligned creature from another plane to come to the cleric casting the spell. Success must be determined just as if abjure had been cast. In like vein, the spell caster must know the exact name of the type of creature as well as its given name, if any. If the Implore spell succeeds, the cleric has absolutely no guarantee that the creature summoned from another plane will be favorably disposed to him or her. Neither version of the spell will function upon deities, but might affect servants or minions thereof.

The material components for an Abjure spell are a holy/unholy symbol, holy or unholy water, and often some material inimical to the creature. In reversed form, the material components are the same except for the last, which must be something that the implored creature craves or respects.

Cloak of Fear (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: The cleric Type: Illusion/Phantasm Reversible Source: UA 37

Explanation/Description: The casting of this spell empowers the cleric to radiate a personal aura of fear out to a 3' radius. Any character or creature that intrudes upon this aura must save versus spell or run away in fear for 6 rounds (cf. 3rd-level magic-user spell Fear). The spell will only remain in effect until one creature fails to save, whereupon the dweomer of the spell is dissipated. The spell has no effect upon creatures that themselves radiate fear or upon undead creatures of any sort, and it is not dissipated upon contact by such creatures. It likewise remains in effect if an intruder makes a successful saving throw, but will expire after a duration of 1 turn per level of the cleric if not brought down earlier. Note that members of the cleric's party are not immune to the effects of the spell. The cleric may cancel the aura at any time before the duration ends if desired.

The reverse of the spell, Cloak of Bravery can be cast upon the cleric or upon another creature which is a willing recipient. A character or creature protected by a Cloak of Bravery gains a + 3 bonus to the saving throw against any form of magical fear encountered. The magic of the Cloak of Bravery works only once and only upon a single figure, and is dispelled whether or not the recipient succeeds on his or her saving throw. The magic does not negate or otherwise affect the innate ability of a creature (such as a devil) to radiate fear, so that the creature can still affect others in the vicinity.

The material components for a Cloak of Fear are a miniature quiver and a chicken feather; for a Cloak of Bravery, the necessary items are a drop of alcohol and the brain of a newt.

Cure Serious Wounds (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the cleric causes from 3 to 17 (2d8+1) hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Serious Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the cleric's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused serious wounds are 3 to 17 hit points of damage.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is a more potent version of the Cure Light Wounds spell (q.v.). Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the cleric causes from 3 to 17 (2d8+1) hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will affect only those creatures listed in the Cure Light Wounds spell explanation. Cause Serious Wounds, the reverse of the spell, operates similarly to the Cause Light Wounds spell, the victim having to be touched first, and if the touch is successful, it will inflict 3 to 17 hit points.)

Detect Lie (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One person Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: When the cleric employs this spell, the recipient is immediately able to determine if truth is being spoken. The spell lasts one round for each level of experience of the cleric casting the Detect Lie. Gold dust is necessary for this spell. Its reverse, Undetectable Lie, makes bald-face untruths seem reasonable, or simply counters the Detect Lie spell powers. The reverse spell requires brass dust as its material component.

Divination (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: Similar to an Augury spell, a Divination spell is used to determine information regarding an area. The area can be a small woods, large building, or section of a dungeon level. In any case, its location must be known. The spell gives information regarding the relative strength of creatures in the area: whether a rich, moderate or poor treasure is there; and the relative chances for incurring the wrath of evil or good supernatural, super powerful beings if the area is invaded and attacked. The base chance for correct divination is 60%, plus 1% for each level of experience of the cleric casting the spell, i.e. 65% at 5th level, 66% at 6th, etc. The Dungeon Master will make adjustments to this base chance considering the facts regarding actual area being divined. If the result is not correct, inaccurate information will be obtained. The material components of the Divination are a sacrificial creature, incense, and the holy symbol of the cleric. If an unusually potent Divination is attempted, sacrifice of particularly valuable gems or jewellery and/or magic items may be required.

Exorcise (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1 Casting Time: 1-100+ turns Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature or object Type: Abjuration Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: The spell of Exorcism will negate possession of a creature or an object by any outside or supernatural force. This includes control of a creature by some force in an object, possession by Magic Jar (q.v.) spell, demonic possession, curse and even charm, for the Exorcise spell is similar to a Dispel Magic spell. Furthermore, it will affect a magical item if such is the object of the exorcism. Thus a soul object of any sort which comes under successful exorcism will make the life force of the creature concerned wholly inhabit its nearest material body, wholly and completely. (Cf. ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL, Demon.) The Exorcise spell, once begun. cannot be interrupted, or else it is spoiled and useless. The base chance for success is a random 1% to 100%. Each turn of Exorcism the dice are rolled, and if the base chance number, or less, is rolled, the spell is successful. Base chance of success is modified by -1% for each level of difference between the cleric's level of experience and the level of the possessor or possessing magic, where the smaller number is the cleric's level. In the obverse, a +1% cumulative is added. The referee can determine base chance according to the existing circumstances if he or she so desires. Material components for this spell are the holy object of the cleric and holy water (or unholy, in the case of evil clerics, with respect to object and water). A religious artifact or relic can increase the chance of success by from 1% to 50%, according to the power of the artifact or relic.

Giant Insect (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2" Casting Time: Special Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One or more insects Type: Alteration Reversible Source: UA 37

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the cleric can turn one or more normal-sized insects into larger forms which resemble the "giant" forms of such creatures as described in the Monster Manual books or the FIEND FOLIO Tome. The number of insects that can be affected is dependent upon the cleric's level: one at 7th-9th level, two at 10th or 11th level, three at 12th or 13th level, and four at 14thor higher level. The total hit dice of all giant insects created is 3 HD at 7th-9th level, 4 HD at 10th or 11th, 5 HD at 12th or 13th, and 6 HD at 14th or higher level. The magic only works upon one type of insect at one time; i.e., a cleric cannot use the same casting of the spell to affect both an ant and a fly. The casting time for a Giant Insect spell is one round per hit die of the resulting giant creature(s); if the casting is interrupted for any reason, the subject insect(s) will die and the spell will be ruined. A monster created by this spell will have as many attacks per round as its namesake, but will not do full damage unless the created form has as many hit dice as the usual giant version of the same insect. Although it may have more hit dice than a standard giant form, the created insect can never exceed the damage figures given in the books. Example: A cleric of 14th level can use the Giant Insect spell to enlarge a normal wasp to one having 6 HD (instead of the usual 4 HD for a giant wasp; see Monster Manual), but the creature would still do damage of 2-8/1-4. Conversely, a 7th-level cleric can use this spell to create a giant wasp of 3 HD, and such a creature would have reduced damage figures of 2-6/1-3--three-fourths of the damage potential of a "real" giant wasp, since it only has three-fourths of the usual number of hit dice for such a creature.

The spell will only work on actual insects. Arachnids, crustaceans, and other types of small creatures are not affected. The giant insects created will not have any special attacks or defenses possessed by the standard giant forms; however, armor class, movement rate, and other physical characteristics are as described in the creature's book listing. Any giant insects created by this spell will not attempt to harm the cleric, but the cleric's control of such creatures is limited. He or she could give them simple commands such as "attack," "defend," "guard," and so forth, but could not instruct them to attack a certain creature or guard against a particular occurrence. Unless commanded to do otherwise, the giant insects will attempt to attack whomever or whatever is near them.

The reverse of the spell, Shrink Insect, will reduce the size of standard giant insects as well as those created by the unreversed form of the spell. The shrinking will be at a rate of 1 HD for every 4 levels of the casting cleric, with a maximum of 6 HD of reduction (to a minimum of '6 HD, or 1 hp). Special attacks possessed by a standard giant insect will be retained, but at a weaker level which allows a bonus to the saving throw versus the attack. For instance, a 9th-level cleric could cast Shrink Insect upon a standard giant wasp to reduce it from 4 HD to 1 HD. The resulting insect would still be able to use its poison sting, but the saving throw against such an attack would be at a +3 bonus (or perhaps higher), and the hit-point damage from its normal attacks would be reduced to 1-2 for a bite and 1 point for a sting--one-fourth of the usual amounts, since the creature is only one-fourth of its original size. The material component for either version of the spell is the cleric's holy/unholy symbol.

Imbue with Spell Ability (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One individual Type: Enchantment-Alteration Source: UA 38

Explanation/Description: By the use of this spell, the cleric can bestow the ability to cast a particular spell upon a character normally unable to cast spells. The magic is only effective on thieves, fighters, cavaliers, assassins, monks, rangers (of under 8th level), and paladins (of under 9th level)--it will not work on a member of any other character class or sub-class, nor will it function upon a monster or any individual with less than one full hit die. The spell or spells to be imbued in the subject must be ones that the cleric presently carries (i.e., has prayed for), and they can only be spells of an informational or defensive nature, or a Cure Light Wounds spell. An attempt to transfer any other sort of spell will cause the magic to fail, and then no spells will be imbued in the recipient even if other allowable spells were also chosen. As many as three separate spells can be imbued, including one 2nd-level spell and one or two 1st-level spells. In order to receive any spell, the subject character must have a wisdom score of 9 or higher. A single 1st-level spell can be imbued in any eligible recipient, but the recipient must be at least 3rd level to receive two 1st-level spells, and must be at least 5th level to receive a 2nd-level spell. If a transferred spell's characteristics (range, duration, area of effect, etc.) are variable according to the level of the caster, then the recipient will cast them at his or her own level. All other spell details (e.g., casting time, components, etc.) apply normally.

When a cleric casts Imbue with Spell Ability upon another character, the cleric loses that particular spell from his or her repertoire and cannot memorize more spells until the recipient uses all of the spells that were transferred. The material components for this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol, plus some minor item "borrowed" from the intended recipient which is symbolic of his or her profession (a lock-pick for a thief, a dagger for an assassin, etc.). The "borrowed" item is consumed in the casting of the spell.

Lower Water (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 12" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" x 1" square/level Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: The cleric casting a Lower Water spell causes water or similar fluid in the area of effect to sink away. Lowering is 5% of original effect for every level of experience of the cleric, i.e. 40% at 8th level, 45% at 9th, 50% at 10th, etc. The effect of the spell lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting it. Likewise, the area of effect increases by level of experience, an 8th level cleric affecting an area of 8" x 8", a 9th level an area of 9" x 9", and so forth. Material components of this spell are the cleric's religious symbol and a pinch of dust. The reverse of the spell causes the water or similar fluid to return to its normal highest level, plus one foot for every level of experience of the cleric casting it.

Neutralize Poison (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched or 1 cubic foot of substance/2 levels Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 48

Explanation/Description: By means of a Neutralize Poison spell, the cleric detoxifies any sort of venom in the creature or substance touched. Note that an opponent, such as a poisonous reptile or snake (or even an envenomed weapon of an opponent) unwilling to be so touched requires the cleric to score a hit in melee combat. Effects of the spell are permanent only with respect to poison existing in the touched creature at the time of the touch, i.e. creatures (or objects) which generate new poison will not be permanently detoxified. The reversed spell, Poison, likewise requires an attack (a "to hit" touch which succeeds), and the victim is allowed a saving throw versus poison. If the latter is unsuccessful, the victim is killed by the poison.

Protection From Evil, 10' Radius (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 20' diameter sphere Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, it acts as if it were a magical armor upon the recipient. The protection encircles the recipient at a ten foot distance, thus preventing bodily contact by creatures of an enchanted or conjured nature such as aerial servants, demons, devils, djinn, efreet, elementals, imps, invisible stalkers, night hags, quasits, salamanders, water weirds, wind walkers, and xorn. Summoned animals or monsters are similarly hedged from the protected creature. Furthermore, any and all attacks launched by evil creatures incur a penalty of -2 from dice rolls "to hit" the protected creature, and any saving throws caused by such attacks are made at +2 on the protected creature's dice. This spell can be reversed to become Protection From Good, 10' Radius, although it still keeps out enchanted evil creatures as well. To complete this spell, the cleric must trace a 20' diameter circle upon the floor (or ground) with holy water for Protection From Evil, with blood for Protection From Good--or in the air using burning incense or smouldering dung with respect to evil/good.

(Original Explanation/Description: The globe of protection of this spell is identical in all respects to a Protection From Evil (q.v.) spell except that it encompasses a much larger area and the duration of the Protection From Evil, 10' Radius spell is greater. To complete this spell, the cleric must trace a circle 20' in diameter using holy water or blood, incense or smouldering dung as according to the Protection From Evil spell.)

Speak With Plants (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" diameter circle Type: Alteration Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: When cast, a Speak With Plants spell enables the cleric to converse, in very rudimentary terms, with all sorts of living vegetables. Thus, the cleric 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 similar things. The spell does not enable the cleric to animate non-ambulatory vegetation. The power of the spell lasts for 1 melee round for each level of experience of the cleric who cast it. All vegetation within the area of effect are under command of the spell. The material components for this spell are a drop of water, a pinch of dung, and a flame.

Spell Immunity (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One individual Type: Abjuration Source: UA 38

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the cleric or any creature touched is made immune to the effects of a specified spell of 4th level or lower that the cleric has directly experienced. For instance, if the cleric has been hit by a Fireball spell at some time, then this spell can be used to protect someone from the effect of a Fireball. This spell cannot affect an intended recipient who is already magically protected by a spell or other temporary effect. The magic of this spell will only protect against actual cast spells, not against effects of magic items or a creature's innate spell-like abilities, but immunity lasts for the full duration of the spell. Only one spell immunity can be in effect upon a single creature at one time; any applications subsequent to the first have no effect until the first duration ends. The spell immunity does not extend to items carried by the recipient, which must still make saving throws (if applicable) to avoid damage. Only a particular spell can be protected against, not a certain class of spells or a group of spells which are similar in effect; thus, someone given immunity from Lightning Bolt spells would still be vulnerable to a Shocking Grasp. The material component for spell immunity is the same (if any) as for the spell to be protected against.

Spike Growth (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1-6 turns + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' square per level of caster Type: Alteration/Enchantment Source: UA 38

Explanation/Description: Wherever any sort of plant growth of moderate size or density is found, this spell is of service. It enables the caster to cause ground-covering vegetation and/or roots and rootlets to become very hard and sharply pointed. In effect the ground cover, while appearing to be unchanged, acts as if the area were strewn with caltrops. In areas of bare ground or earthen pits, roots and rootlets will act in the same way. Without the use of a spell such as True Seeing, similar magical aids, or some other special means of detection (such as Detect Traps), an area affected by Spike Growth is absolutely undetectable as such until a victim enters the area and takes damage. Even then, the creature will not be able to determine the extent of the perilous area unless some means of magical detection is used. For each 1" of movement through the area, a victim will incur 2 "attacks" from the spike growth. Hit probability is as if the caster of the spell were making an attack, and any successful hit causes 1-4 points of damage. Spells which control or harm vegetation, or a Dispel Magic spell, will negate the area of the dweomer. The components for this spell are the cleric's holy symbol plus either seven sharp thorns or seven small twigs, each sharpened to a point.

Sticks To Snakes (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic" Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the cleric is able to change 1 stick to a snake for each level of experience he or she has attained, i.e. a 9th level cleric can change 9 sticks into 9 snakes. These snakes will attack as commanded by the cleric. There must, of course, be sticks or similar pieces of wood (such as torches, spears, etc.) to turn into snakes. Note that magical items such as staves and spears which are enchanted are not affected by the spell. Only sticks within the area of effect will be changed. The probability of a snake thus changed being venomous is 5% per level of experience of the spell caster, so that there is a 55% probability of any given snake created by the spell being poisonous when sticks are turned to snakes by an 11th level cleric, 60% at 12th level, etc. The effect lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the spell caster. The material components of the spell are a small piece of bark and several snake scales. The reverse changes snakes to sticks for the duration appropriate, or it negates the Sticks To Snakes spell according to the level of the cleric countering the spell, i.e. a 10th level cleric casting the reverse spell can turn only 10 snakes back to sticks.

Tongues (Cleric Level 4)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" diameter circle Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric to speak the language of any creature inside the spell area, whether it is a racial tongue or an alignment language. The reverse of the spell cancels the effect of the Tongues spell or confuses verbal communication of any sort within the area of effect.

CLERIC LEVEL 5

Air Walk (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 6 turns + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Alteration Source: UA 39

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric to tread upon air just as if it were solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill, and the more steep the ascent, the slower the rate of movement: Ascending at a 45° angle is done at one-half normal movement, a 60° angle reduces movement to one-fourth of normal, and traveling straight upward can be done at one-eighth the normal rate. Similarly, rapid descent is possible, almost as if the cleric were running downhill; invert the above proportions, so that traveling straight downward can be done at eight times the normal movement rate (or, of course, at any slower rate the traveller desires). An air walking creature is always in control of his or her movement rate; someone traveling straight down at a rapid rate can "stop on a copper piece" to avoid crashing into the ground or some other solid object. Someone attempting to air walk while a gust of wind spell is in effect in the same area will move at one-half the usual rate if going into the gust, or twice the usual rate if traveling in the same direction. The spell can be placed upon any creature touched, up to and including one of giant size. For example, the caster could place the spell upon a trained horse and ride it through the air. Of course, an animal not accustomed to such movement would panic, so the steed would certainly need careful and lengthy training. The material components for the spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a bit of thistledown.

Animate Dead Monsters (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Necromantic Source: UA 39

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the caster to animate 1 humanoid or semi-humanoid skeleton or corpse for every 2 levels of experience which he or she has attained. The dweomer animates the remains and empowers the caster to give commands. Direct commands or instructions of up to about 12 words in length will be obeyed by the skeletons or zombies animated (cf. Animate Dead spell). Monster types which can be animated by this spell include but are not limited to: apes (carnivorous and giant), bugbears, ettins, giants (all varieties), ogres, and trolls (all varieties). In general, the remains must be of bipedal monsters of more than 3 hit dice and with endoskeletons similar to those of humans, except in size (which must be greater than 7' height). Corpses animated by this spell are treated either as monster zombies (see Monster Manual II), or else as normal (living) creatures of the same form if that creature type normally has less than 6 hit dice. Skeletons animated by this spell are treated as monsters of half the hit dice (rounded up) of the normal sort. Animated monsters of either type receive their normal physical attacks, but have no special attacks or defenses other than those typically possessed by monster zombies or skeletons. The material components for the spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a small specimen of the type of creature which is to be animated.

Atonement (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One person Type: Abjuration Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: This spell is used by the cleric to remove the onus of unwilling or unknown deeds from the person who is the subject of the Atonement. The spell will remove the effects of magical alignment change as well. The person for whom Atonement is being made must be either truly repentant or not in command of his or her own will so as to be able to be repentant. Your referee will judge this spell in this regard, noting any past instances of its use upon the person. Deliberate misdeeds and acts of knowing and wilful nature cannot be atoned for with this spell. The material components of this spell are the cleric's religious symbol, prayer beads or wheel or book, and burning incense.

Commune (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: By use of a Commune spell the cleric is able to contact his or her divinity--or agents thereof--and request information in the form of questions which can be answered by a simple "yes" or "no". The cleric is allowed one such question for every level of experience he or she has attained. The answers given will be correct. It is probable that the referee will limit the use of Commune spells to one per adventure, one per week, or even one per month, for the "gods" dislike frequent interruptions. The material components necessary to a Commune spell are the cleric's religious symbol, holy/unholy water, and incense.

Cure Critical Wounds (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the cleric causes from 6 to 27 (3d8+3) hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Critical Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the cleric's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused wounds are 6 to 27 hit points of damage.

(Original Explanation/Description: The Cure Critical Wounds spell is a very potent version of the Cure Light Wounds spell (q.v.). The cleric lays his or her hand upon a creature and heals from 6 to 27 (3d8+3) hit points of damage from wounds or other damage. The spell does not affect creatures excluded in the Cure Light Wounds spell explanation. Its reverse, Cause Critical Wounds, operates in the same fashion as other Cause Wounds spells, requiring a successful touch to inflict the 6-27 hit points of damage. Caused wounds heal as do wounds of other sorts.)

Dispel Evil (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: The cleric using this spell causes summoned creatures of evil nature, or monsters enchanted and caused to perform evil deeds, to return to their own plane or place. Examples of such creatures are: aerial servants, demons, devils, djinn, efreet, elementals, and invisible stalkers. Note that this spell lasts for 1 melee round for each level of experience of the caster, and while the spell is in effect all creatures which could be affected by it attack at a -7 penalty' on their "to hit" dice when engaging the spell caster. The reverse of the spell, Dispel Good, functions against summoned or enchanted creatures of good alignment or sent to aid the cause of good. The material components for this spell are the cleric's religious object and holy/unholy water.

Flame Strike (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 segment Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 1" diameter by 3" high column Type: Evocation Source: PH 49

Explanation/Description: When the cleric calls down a Flame Strike spell, a column of fire roars downward in the exact location called for by the caster. If any creature is within the area of effect of a Flame Strike, it must make a saving throw. Failure to make the save means the creature has sustained 6-48 (6d8) hit points of damage; otherwise, 3-24 (3d8) hit points of damage are taken. The material component of this spell is a pinch of sulfur.

Golem (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: UA 39

Explanation/Description: In order for this spell to operate, the cleric must first construct the form of the golem to be made. The cleric must do this personally and then place a prayer spell upon the construction. All golems must be man-shaped and approximately man-sized, although they can be as small as 3' or as large as 7' tall. The sort of golem that can be created depends on the material used and the level of the cleric:

At 9th or higher level, the cleric can create a straw golem. Construction time is 1 hour, duration thereafter is 1 hour per level. The golem has AC 10, MV 12", HD 2 + 4, hp 20, #AT 2, D 1-2/1-2, SD immune to piercing weapons, half damage from blunt weapons. Carrying capacity is 30 pounds. The golem is highly susceptible to flame (taking double normal damage).

At 11th or higher level, the cleric can create a rope golem. Construction time is 3 hours, duration thereafter is 3 hours per level. The golem has AC 8, MV 9", HD 3 + 6, hp 30, #AT 1, D 1-6 plus strangulation (6 points per round after scoring a hit until destroyed or caused to release its grip), SD immune to blunt weapons, half damage from piercing weapons. Carrying capacity is 40 pounds.

At 13th or higher level, the cleric can create a leather golem. Construction time is 9 hours, duration thereafter is 6 hours per level. The golem has AC 6, MV 6", HD 4 + 8, hp 40, #AT 2, D 1-6/1-6, SD + 1 or better magic weapon to hit, half damage from blunt weapons. Carrying capacity is 50 pounds.

At 15th or higher level, the cleric can create a woodgolem. Construction time is 27 hours, duration thereafter is 12 hours per level. The golem has AC 4, MV 3", HD 5 + 10, hp 50, #AT 1, D 3-12, SD +1 or better magic weapon to hit, immune to blunt and piercing weapons. Carrying capacity is 60 pounds.

These creations are collectively known as lesser golems to distinguish them from the golems described in the Monster Manual. Similar to their namesakes, these golems have no minds, so spells such as charm, fear; hold, sleep, and the like have no effect on them. The dweomer of the lesser golem enables it to save as if it were a cleric of the same experience level as the one who created it. These golems cannot speak, but they can comprehend and carry out simple instructions involving no more than a dozen words.

Insect Plague (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 36" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 36" diameter, 6" high cloud Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 50

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by the cleric, a horde of creeping, hopping, and flying insects swarm in a thick cloud. These insects obscure vision, limiting it to 3". Creatures within the insect plague sustain 1 hit point of damage for each melee round they remain in it due to the bites and stings of the insects, regardless of armor class. The referee will cause all creatures with fewer than five hit dice to check morale. Creatures with two or fewer hit dice will automatically move at their fastest possible speed in a straight line in a random direction until they are not less than 24" distant from the cloud of insects. Creatures with fewer than five hit dice which fail their morale check will behave likewise. Heavy smoke will drive off insects within its bounds. Fire will also drive insects away; a Wall of Fire in a ring shape will keep the Insect Plague outside its confines, but a Fireball will simply clear insects from its blast area for 1 turn. Lightning and cold/ice act likewise. The plague lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting the spell, and thereafter the insects disperse. The insects swarm in an area which centers around a summoning point determined by the spell caster, which point can be up to 36" distant from the cleric. The Insect Plague does not move thereafter for as long as it lasts. Note that the spell can be countered by casting a Dispel Magic upon the summoning point. A cube of force (a special magic item) would keep insects away from a character seeking the center of the swarm, but invisibility would afford no protection. The material components of this spell are a few grains of sugar, some kernels of grain, and a smear of fat.

Magic Font (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 turns Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: UA 39

Explanation/Description: This spell causes a holy/unholy water font to serve as a scrying device. The spell will not function unless the cleric is in good standing with his or her deity. The basin of holy/ unholy water becomes similar to a crystal ball (see Dungeon Masters Guide, Miscellaneous Magic Treasure section, under crystal ball). For each vial of capacity of the basin of the font, the cleric may scry for 1 round; thus, the duration of the Magic Font spell is directly related to the size of the holy/unholy water receptacle. For the chances of a character being able to detect scrying, see the crystal ball description in the Dungeon Masters Guide and the text for the magic-user spell Magic Mirror herein. The material components for this spell, the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and the font and its trappings, are not exhausted by the use of the spell.

Plane Shift (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched (special) Type: Alteration Source: PH 50

Explanation/Description: When the Plane Shift spell is cast, the cleric moves himself or herself or some other creature to another plane of existence. The recipient of the spell will remain in the new plane until sent forth by some like means. If several persons link hands in a circle, up to seven can be affected by the Plane Shift at the same time. The material component of this spell is a small, forked metal rod--the exact size and metal type dictating to which plane of existence the spell will send the affected creature(s) to. (Your referee will determine specifics regarding how and what planes are reached.) An unwilling victim must be touched in order to be sent thusly: and in addition, the creature also is allowed a saving throw, and if the latter is successful the effect of the spell is negated.

Quest (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Until fulfilled Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 50

Explanation/Description: The Quest is a spell by means of which the cleric requires the affected creature to perform a service and return to the cleric with proof that the deed was accomplished. The Quest can, for example, require the location and return of some important or valuable object, the rescue of a notable person, the release of some creature, the capture of a stronghold, the slaying of a person, the delivery of some item, and so forth. If the Quest is not properly followed due to disregard, delay, or perversion, the creature affected by the spell loses 1 from its saving throw dice for each day of such action, and this penalty will not be removed until the Quest is properly discharged or the cleric cancels it. (There are certain circumstances which will temporarily suspend a Quest, and other which will discharge or cancel it; your Dungeon Master will give you appropriate information as the need to know arises.) The material component of this spell is the cleric's religious symbol.

Rainbow (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 12" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation/Alteration Source: UA 39

Explanation/Description: In order to effect this spell, the cleric must be in sight of a rainbow of any sort, or have a special component (see below). The rainbow spell has four applications, and the cleric is able to decide which one is desired at the time of casting. These applications are:

Bow: The spell creates a shimmering, multi-layer bow of rainbow hues. It is light and easy to pull, so that anyone with a strength of 6 or better can use it. It is magic, each of its missiles being equal to a +3 weapon, and there is no non-proficiency penalty for its use. However, it can only be employed by a member of a character class permitted to use a bow. The bow will fire 7 missiles before disappearing. It fires once or twice per round, according to the user's desire. Each time a missile is fired, one hue leaves the bow, corresponding to the color of arrow that is released. Each color of arrow has the ability to cause double damage to certain creatures, as follows:

Red - fire dwellers/users

Orange - earth elementals

Yellow - vegetable targets (including fungus creatures, shambling mounds, treants, etc.)

Green - aquatic creatures and water elementals

Blue - aerial creatures, electricity-using creatures, and air elementals

Indigo - acid-using or poison-using creatures

Violet - metallic or regenerating creatures

When the bow is drawn, an arrow of the appropriate color magically appears, nocked and ready. If no color is requested, or a color that has already been used is asked for, then the next arrow (in the order of the spectrum) will appear.

Bridge: The caster causes the rainbow to form a seven-hued bridge. The bridge is as many feet wide as the cleric has levels of experience, and it can bear as much weight, in hundreds of pounds, as the cleric has levels of experience. It will be at least 20' long and can be as long as 120', according to the desire of the caster. If the bridge's weight limit is exceeded at any time, the bridge will simply disappear into nothingness; otherwise, it will last for the length of the spell duration or until ordered out of existence by the caster.

Elevator: When desired, the caster can cause the rainbow to lift his or her person, and all those within a 10' radius, skyward. The effect is to carry the cleric and others, if any, in a path arching upward to as high an altitude as the cleric desires, and then down again if desired. Care must be taken to reach a place of safety before the spell duration expires, or the rainbow elevator will disappear, leaving those treading upon it with no means of support. Movement along the rainbow elevator is at a rate of 12", and the arc of the rainbow trails out 12" behind those traveling upon it.

Flagon: When used in this form, the rainbow swirls and condenses into a seven-colored vessel which contains seven measures of pure water. Each time a measure of the water is poured out, one of the hues of the container mixes with it to produce a magical draught. Any measures of the liquid that remain unused at the expiration of the spell duration will disappear, along with the container itself, whether the contents have been poured from the flagon or not. The draughts and their effects are:

Red - cure light wounds

Orange - resist fire

Yellow - cure blindness

Green - slow poison

Blue - cure disease

Indigo - resist cold

Violet - remove paralysis

The effects of each draught consumed will be as if the appropriate spell had been cast by a cleric of 12th level, and these effects will persist after the duration of the spell expires.

The components for this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a vial of holy/unholy water. If no rainbow is in the vicinity, the cleric can substitute a diamond of not less than 1,000 gp value, specifically prepared by him or her when in sight of a rainbow by the casting of bless and prayer spells upon the gem. Only the holy symbol remains after the spell is cast.

Raise Dead (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One person Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 50

Explanation/Description: When the cleric casts a Raise Dead spell, he or she can restore life to a dwarf, gnome, half-elf, halfling, or human. The length of time which the person has been dead is of importance, as the cleric can raise dead persons only up to a certain point, the limit being 1 day for each level of experience of the cleric, i.e. a 9th level cleric can raise a person dead for up to 9 days. Note that the body of the person must be whole, or otherwise missing parts will still be missing when the person is brought back to life. Also, the resurrected person must make a special saving throw to survive the ordeal (see CHARACTER ABILITIES, Constitution). Furthermore, the raised person is weak and helpless in any event, and he or she will need one full day of rest in bed for each day he or she was dead. The somatic component of the spell is a pointed finger. The reverse of the spell, Slay Living, allows the victim a saving throw, and if it is successful, the victim sustains damage equal only to that caused by a Cause Serious Wounds spell. i.e. 3-17 hit points. An evil cleric can freely use the reverse spell; a good cleric must exercise extreme caution in its employment, being absolutely certain that the victim of the Slay Living spell is evil and that his or her death is a matter of great necessity and for good, otherwise the alignment of the cleric will be sharply changed. Note that newly made undead, excluding skeletons, which fall within the days of being dead limit are affected by Raise Dead spells cast upon them. The effect of the spell is to cause them to become resurrected dead, providing the constitution permits survival; otherwise, they are simply dead.

Spike Stones (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 3-12 turns + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" square per level, 1 spike per 1' sq. Type: Alteration/Enchantment Source: UA 40

Explanation/Description: The Spike Stones spell causes rock to shape itself into long, sharp points which tend to blend into the background. It is effective on both natural rock and worked stone. The spike stones serve to impede progress through an area or actually inflict damage. If an area is carefully observed, each observer is 25% likely to notice the sharp points of rock. Otherwise, those entering the area of effect of the spell will suffer 1-4 points of damage from each spike stone that hits, success of such attacks determined as if the caster of the spell were actually engaging in combat. Those entering the area are subject to attack immediately upon setting foot in the area and upon each step taken therein afterward. The initial step will be sufficient to allow the individual to become aware of some problem only if the initial attack succeeds; otherwise movement will continue and the spike stones will remain unnoticed until damage occurs. Charging or running victims will suffer 2 attacks per 1 " of movement rate over the area of effect after initial damage is taken before being able to halt. Others will suffer but 1 additional attack-like check. Those falling into pits so affected by spike stones will suffer 6 such attack-like checks, each made at + 2 probability "to hit" for each 10' of distance fallen, and + 2 on damage inflicted per 10' distance fallen, spike damage being in addition to falling damage. The material component of this spell is four tiny stalactites.

True Seeing (Cleric Level 5)

Components: V,S,M Range: Touch Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 12" sight range Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 50

Explanation/Description: When the cleric employs this spell, all things within the area of the True Seeing effect appear as they actually are. Secret doors become plain. The exact location of displaced things is obvious. Invisible things and those which are astral or ethereal become quite visible. Illusions and apparitions are seen through. Polymorphed, changed, or magicked things are apparent. Even the aura projected by creatures becomes visible, so that the cleric is able to know whether they are good or evil or between. The spell requires an ointment for the eyes. The ointment is made from very rare mushroom powder, saffron, and fat. The reverse of the spell, False Seeing, causes the person to see things as they are not, rich being poor, rough smooth, beautiful ugly. The ointment for the reverse spell is concocted of oil, poppy dust, and pink orchid essence. For both spells, the ointment must be aged for 1-6 months.

CLERIC LEVEL 6

Aerial Servant (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: This spell summons an invisible Aerial Servant (see ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL) to do the bidding of the cleric who conjured it. The creature does not fight, but it obeys the command of the cleric with respect to finding and returning with whatever object or creature that is described to it. Of course, the object or creature must be such as to allow the aerial servant to physically bring it to the cleric or his or her assign. The spell caster should keep in mind the consequences of having an aerial servant prevented, for any reason, from completion of the assigned duty. The spell lasts for a maximum of 1 day for each level of experience of the cleric who cast it. The aerial servant returns to its own plane whenever the spell lapses, its duty is fulfilled, it is dispelled, the cleric releases it, or the cleric is slain. The cleric must have a Protection From Evil spell, or be within a magic circle, thaumaturgic triangle, or pentagram when summoning an aerial servant unless the cleric has his or her religious symbol or a religious artifact or relic to use to control the creature. Otherwise, the creature will slay its summoner and return from whence it came. The aerial servant will always attack by complete surprise when sent on a mission, and gain the benefit of 4 free melee rounds unless the creature involved is able to detect invisible objects, in which case a six-sided die is rolled, and 1 = 1 free round, 2 = 2 free rounds, 3 = 3 free rounds, 4 = 4 free rounds, and 5 or 6 = 0 free rounds (the opponent is not surprised at all). Each round the aerial servant must dice to score a hit, and when a hit is scored, it means the aerial servant has grabbed the item or creature it was sent to take and bring back to the cleric. If a creature is involved, the aerial servant's strength is compared to the strength of the creature to be brought. If the creature in question does not have a strength rating, roll the appropriate number of the correct type of hit dice for the aerial servant and for the creature it has grabbed. The higher total is the stronger.

Animate Object (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: This powerful spell enables the cleric casting it to imbue inanimate objects with mobility and a semblance of life. The animated object, or objects, then attack whomever or whatever the cleric first designates. The object can be of any material whatsoever--wood, metal, stone, fabric, leather, ceramic, glass, etc. The speed of movement of the object is dependent upon its means of propulsion and its weight. A large wooden table would be rather heavy, but its legs would give it speed. A rug could only slither along. A jar would roll. Thus a large stone pedestal would rock forward at 1" per round, a stone statue would move at 4" per round, a wooden statue 8" per round, an ivory stool of light weight would move at 12". Slithering movement is about 1" to 2" per round, rolling 3" to 6" per round. The damage caused by the attack of an animated object is dependent upon its form and composition. Light, supple objects can only obscure vision, obstruct movement, bind, trip. smother, etc. Light, hard objects can fall upon or otherwise strike for 1-2 hit points of damage or possibly obstruct and trip as do light, supple objects. Hard, medium weight objects can crush or strike for 2-8 hit points of damage, those larger and heavier doing 3-12, 4-16, or even 5-20 hit points of damage. The frequency of attack of animated objects is dependent upon their method of locomotion, appendages, and method of attack. This varies from as seldom as once every five melee rounds to as frequently as once per melee round. The armor class of the object animated is basically a function of material and movement ability with regard to hitting. Damage is dependent upon the type of weapon and the object struck. A sharp cutting weapon is effective against fabric, leather, wood and like substances. Heavy smashing and crushing weapons are useful against wood, stone, and metal objects. Your referee will determine all of these factors, as well as how much damage the animated object can sustain before being destroyed. The cleric can animate 1 cubic foot of material for each level of experience he or she has attained. Thus, a 14th level cleric could animate one or more objects whose solid volume did not exceed 14 cubic feet, i.e. a large statue, two rugs, three chairs, or a dozen average crocks.

Blade Barrier (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 3 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: The cleric employs this spell to set up a wall of circling, razor-sharp blades. These whirl and flash in endless movement around an immobile point. Any creature which attempts to pass through the Blade Barrier suffers 8-64 (8d8) hit points of damage in doing so. The barrier remains for 3 melee rounds for every level of experience of the cleric casting it. The barrier can cover any area from as small as 5' square to as large as 2" square, i.e. 20'x20' under ground, 60'x60' outdoors.

Conjure Animals (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: The Conjure Animals spell enables the cleric to summon a mammal, or several of them, to his locale in order that the creature(s) can attack the cleric's opponents. The conjured animal(s) remain in the cleric's locale for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the cleric conjuring it (them), or until slain. The spell caster can, by means of his incantation, call up one or more mammals with hit dice whose total does not exceed his or her level. Thus, a cleric of 12th level could conjure one mammal with 12 hit dice, two with 6 hit dice each, three with 4 hit dice each, 4 with a hit dice each, six with 2 hit dice each, or 12 with 1 hit die each. For every +1 (hit point) of a creature's hit dice, count 1/4 of a hit die, i.e. a creature with 4+3 hit dice equals a 43/4 hit dice creature. The creature(s) summoned by the spell will unfailingly attack the opponent(s) of the cleric by whom the spell was cast.

Find The Path (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: By use of this spell, the cleric is enabled to find the shortest, most direct route that he or she is seeking, be it the way to or from or out of a locale. The locale can be outdoors or underground, a trap or even a maze spell. The spell will enable the cleric to select the correct direction which will eventually lead him or her to egress, the exact path to follow (or actions to take), and this knowledge will persist as long as the spell lasts, i.e. 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting find the path. The spell frees the cleric, and those with him or her from a Maze spell in a single melee round and will continue to do so as long as the spell lasts. The material component of this spell is a set of divination counters of the sort favored by the cleric--bones, ivory counters, sticks, carved runes, or whatever. The reverse, Lose The Path, makes the creature touched totally lost and unable to find its way for the duration of the spell, although it can be led, of course.

Forbiddance (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 6 rounds Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 6 cubic "/level Type: Abjuration Source: UA 40

Explanation/Description: This spell can be used only to secure a consecrated area (cf. Ceremony spell). The effect on the enchanted area is based on the ethics (law/chaos) and morals (good/evil) of those trying to enter it, relative to the caster's.

Identical morals and ethics: Cannot enter area unless password is known (no saving throw).

Different ethics: Save versus spell to enter the area; if failed, take 2-12 points of damage.

Different morals: Save versus spell to enter the area; if failed, take 4-24 points of damage.

Once a saving throw is failed, a intruder can never enter the forbidden area until the dweomer ceases. Effects are cumulative, and multiple required saving throws are certainly possible. The caster is immune to the spell's effect. Intruders who enter by making saving throws will feel uneasy and tense, despite their success. In addition to the cleric's holy/unholy symbol, components include holy/unholy water, silver/dung, and iron/sulfur.

Heal (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: The very potent Heal spell enables the cleric to wipe away disease and injury in the creature who receives the benefits of the spell. It will completely cure any and all diseases and/or blindness of the recipient and heal all hit points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury, save 1 to 4 (1d4). It dispels a Feeblemind spell. Naturally, the effects can be negated by later wounds, injuries, and diseases. The reverse, Harm, infects the victim with a disease and causes loss of all hit points, as damage, save 1 to 4 (d4), if a successful touch is inflicted. For creatures not affected by the Heal (or Harm) spell, see Cure Light Wounds.

Hero's Feast (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 hour Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One individual per level of caster Type: Evocation Source: UA 40

Explanation/Description: This special dweomer enables the cleric to bring forth a great feast which will serve as many creatures as the cleric has levels of experience. The spell creates a magnificent table, chairs, service, and all the necessary food and drink. Those partaking of the feast are cured of all diseases, are immune to poison for 12 hours, and healed of 5-8 points of damage after imbibing the nectar-like beverage which is part of the feast. The ambrosia-like food that is consumed is equal to a Bless spell that lasts for 12 hours. Also, during this period, the persons who consumed the feast are immune to fear; hopelessness, and panic. The feast takes one full hour to consume, and the beneficial effects do not set in until after this hour is over. If the feast is interrupted for any reason, the spell is ruined and all effects of the dweomer are negated. The material components of the spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and specially fermented honey taken from the cells of bee larvae destined for royal status.

Part Water (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2"/level Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: By employing a Part Water spell, the cleric is able to cause water or similar liquid to move apart. thus forming a trough. The depth and length of the trough created by the spell is dependent upon the level of the cleric, and a trough 3' deep by 1' by 1" (10' or 10 yards) is created per level, i.e. at 12th level the cleric would part water 36' deep by 12' wide by 24" (240' or 240 yards) long. The trough will remain as long as the spell lasts or until the cleric who cast it opts to end its effects (cf. Dispel Magic). The material component of this spell is the cleric's religious symbol.

Speak With Monsters (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 3" radius Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Type: Alteration Source: PH 51

Explanation/Description: When cast, the Speak With Monsters spell allows the cleric to converse with any type of creature which has any form of communicative ability. That is, the monster will understand the intent of what is said to it by the cleric. The creature or creatures thus spoken to will be checked by your referee in order to determine reaction. All creatures of the same type as that chosen by the cleric to speak to can likewise understand if they are within range. The spell lasts for 1 melee round per level of experience of the cleric casting it. and during its duration conversation can take place as the monster is able and desires.

Stone Tell (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One cubic yard of stone Type: Divination Source: PH 52

The stones will relate complete descriptions as required. The material components for this spell area drop of mercury and a bit of clay.

Word Of Recall (Cleric Level 6)

Components: V Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 52

Explanation/Description: The Word Of Recall spell takes the cleric instantly back to his or her sanctuary when the word is uttered. The sanctuary must be specifically designated in advance by the cleric. It must be a well known place, but it can be any distance from the cleric, above or below ground. Transportation by the Word Of Recall spell is infallibly safe. The cleric is able to transport, in addition to himself or herself, 250 gold pieces weight cumulative per level of experience. Thus, a 15th level cleric could transport his or her person and 3,750 (375 pounds) gold pieces weight in addition; this extra matter can be equipment, treasure, or living material such as another person.

CLERIC LEVEL 7

Astral Spell (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 turns Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 52

Explanation/Description: By means of the Astral Spell a cleric is able to project his or her astral body into the Astral Plane, leaving his or her physical body and material possessions behind on the Prime Material Plane, (the plane on which the entire universe and all of its parallels have existence). Only certain magic items which have multi-planed existence can be brought into the Astral Plane. As the Astral Plane touches upon all of the first levels of the Outer Planes, the cleric can travel astrally to any of these Outer Planes as he or she wills. The cleric then leaves the Astral Plane, forming a body on the plane of existence he or she has chosen to enter. It is also possible to travel astrally anywhere in the Prime Material Plane by means of the Astral Spell, but a second body cannot be formed on the Prime Material Plane. As a general rule, a person astrally projected can be seen only by creatures on the Astral Plane. At all times the astral body is connected to the material by a silvery cord. If the cord is broken, the affected person is killed, astrally and materially, but generally only the psychic wind can normally cause the cord to break. When a second body is formed on a different plane, the silvery cord remains invisibly attached to the new body, and the cord simply returns to the latter where it rests on the Prime Material Plane, reviving it from its state of suspended animation. Although astrally-projected persons are able to function on the Astral Plane, their actions do not affect creatures not existing on the Astral Plane. The spell lasts until the cleric desires to end it, or until it is terminated by some outside means (Dispel Magic or destruction of the cleric's body on the Prime Material Plane). The cleric can take up to five other creatures with him or her by means of the Astral Spell, providing the creatures are linked in a circle with the cleric. These fellow travelers are dependent upon the cleric and can be stranded. Travel in the Astral Plane can be slow or fast according to the cleric's desire. The ultimate destination arrived at is subject to the conceptualization of the cleric. (See APPENDIX IV, THE KNOWN PLANES OF EXISTENCE, for further information on the Astral Plane and astral projection.)

Control Weather (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 4-48 hours Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4-16 square miles Type: Alteration Source: PH 52

Explanation/Description: The Control Weather spell allows a cleric to change the weather in the area he or she is in at the time the spell is cast. The spell will affect the weather for from 4 to 48 hours (4d12) in an area of from 4 to 16 square miles (4d4). It requires 1 turn to cast the spell, and an additional 1 to 4 (d4) turns for the effects of the weather to be felt. The Control Weather spell will not radically change the temperature, i.e. from below zero to a 100 degree temperature heat wave. The weather control possible depends upon the prevailing conditions:

All three aspects of the weather (clouds/precipitation, temperature, and wind) can be controlled, but only as shown. For example, a day which is clear, warm, and with light wind can be controlled to become hazy, hot, and calm. Contradictions are not possible--fog and strong wind, for example. Multiple Control Weather spells can be used only in succession. The material components for this spell are the cleric's religious symbol, incense, and prayer beads or similar prayer object. Obviously, this spell functions only in areas where there are appropriate climatic conditions.

Earthquake (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1/2" diameter/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 52

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by a cleric, a local tremor of fairly high strength rips the ground. The shock is over in one melee round. The Earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in its locale. The area of effect of the Earthquake spell is circular, the diameter being 1/2" for every level of experience of the cleric casting it, i.e. a 20th level cleric casts an Earthquake spell with a 10" diameter area of effect:

Effects are as follows:

The material components for this spell are a pinch of dirt, a piece of rock, and a lump of clay.

Exaction (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One creature Type: Evocation-Alteration Source: UA 41

Explanation/Description: When this spell is employed, the cleric confronts some powerful creature from another plane (including devas and powerful "name" demons, for instance, but not demigods or deities of any sort) and requires of it some duty or quest. The creature may not be one ethically or morally opposed to the cleric (i.e. not evil if the cleric is good, not chaotic if the cleric is lawful). Note that an absolute (true) neutral creature is in effect greatly opposed to both good and evil, and both law and chaos. The spell caster must know something about the creature to exact service from it, or else he or she must offer some fair trade in return for the service. That is, if the cleric is aware that the creature has received some favor from someone of the cleric's alignment, then the exaction can name this as cause; if no balancing reason for service is known, then some valuable gift or service must be pledged in return for the exaction. The service exacted must be reasonable with respect to the past or promised favor or reward. The spell then acts as a quest upon the creature which is to perform the required service. Immediately upon completion of the service, the subject creature is transported to the vicinity of the cleric, and the cleric must then and there return the promised reward, whether it is irrevocable cancellation of a past debt or the giving of some service or other material reward. Upon so doing, the creature is instantly freed to return to its own plane. Failure to fulfill the promise to the letter results in the cleric being subject to exaction by the subject creature or by its master, liege, etc., at the very least. At worst, the creature may attack the reneging cleric without fear of any of his or her spells affecting it, for the failure to live up to the bargain gives the creature total immunity from the spell powers of the cleric so doing. The material components of this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol, some matter or substance from the plane of the creature from whom an exaction is to be expected, and knowledge of the creature's nature and/or actions which is written out on a parchment leaf that is burned to seal the bargain.

Gate (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: The casting of a Gate spell has two effects: first, it causes an ultra-dimensional connection between the plane of existence the cleric is on and that plane on which dwells a specific being of great power, the result enabling the being to merely step through the gate or portal, from its plane to that of the cleric; second, the utterance of the spell attracts the attention of the dweller on the other plane. When casting the spell, the cleric must name the demon, devil, demi-god, god, or similar being he or she desires to make use of the Gate and come to the cleric's aid. There is a 100% certainty that something will step through the gate. The actions of the being which comes through will depend on many factors, including the alignment of the cleric, the nature of those in company with him or her, and who or what opposes or threatens the cleric. Your Dungeon Master will have a sure method of dealing with the variables of the situation. The being gated in will either return immediately (very unlikely) or remain to take action.

Holy/Unholy Word (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3" radius Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: The utterance of a Holy/Unholy Word has tremendous power. It drives off evil (good) creatures from other planes, forcing them to return to their own plane(s) of existence. It further affects other creatures of differing alignment as follows:

Affected creatures must be within the 6" diameter area of effect centering on the cleric casting the spell.

Regenerate (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 rounds Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: When a Regenerate spell is cast, body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, or even the heads of multi- headed creatures), bones, or organs will grow back. The process of regeneration requires but 1 round if the member(s) severed is (are) present and touching the creature, 2-8 turns otherwise. The reverse, Wither, causes the member or organ touched to shrivel and cease functioning in 1 round, dropping off into dust in 2-8 turns. As is usual, creatures must be touched in order to have harmful effect occur. The material components of this spell are a prayer device and holy/unholy water.

Restoration (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient creature is raised upwards by one. This subsumes previous life energy level drain of the creature by some force or monster. Thus, if a 10th level character had been struck by a wight and drained to 9th level, the Restoration spell would bring the character up to exactly the number of experience points necessary to restore him or her to 10th level once again. and restoring additional hit dice (or hit points) and level functions accordingly. Restoration is only effective if the spell is cast within 1 day/level of experience of the cleric casting it of the recipient's loss of life energy. The reverse, Energy Drain, draws away a life energy level (cf. such "undead" as spectre, wight, vampire). The Energy Drain requires the victim to be touched. A Restoration spell will restore the intelligence of a creature affected by a Feeblemind spell (q.v.).

Resurrection (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Person touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: The cleric employing this spell is able to restore life and complete strength to the person he/she bestows the Resurrection upon. The person can have been dead up to 10 years cumulative per level of the cleric casting the spell, i.e. a 19th level cleric can resurrect the bones of a person dead up to 190 years. See raise dead for limitations on what persons can be raised. The reverse, Destruction, causes the victim of the spell to be instantly dead and turned to dust. Destruction requires a touch, either in combat or otherwise. The material components of the spell are the cleric's religious symbol and holy/unholy water. Employment of this spell makes it impossible for the cleric to cast further spells or engage in combat until he or she has had one day of bed rest for each level of experience of the person brought back to life or destroyed.

Exaction (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 day Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One individual Type: Evocation-Alteration Source: UA 41

Explanation/Description: By casting this spell, the cleric creates a powerful dweomer in some specially prepared object--a string of prayer beads, a small clay tablet, an ivory baton, etc. This object will radiate magic, for it contains the power to instantaneously transport its possessor to the sanctuary of the cleric who created its dweomer. Once the item is magicked, the cleric must give it willingly to an individual, at the same time informing him or her of a command word to be spoken when the item is to be used. To make use of the item, the recipient must speak the command word at the same time that he or she rends or breaks the item. When this is done, the individual and all that he or she is wearing and carrying will be instantly transported to the sanctuary of the cleric just as if the individual were capable of speaking a Word of Recall spell. No other creatures can be affected.

The reversed application of the spell enables the cleric to be transported to the immediate vicinity of the possessor of the dweomered item when it is broken and the command word said. The cleric can choose not to be affected by this "summons" by making that decision at the instant when the transportation is to take place, but if he or she so chooses, then the opportunity is gone forever and the spell is wasted. The cost of preparing the special item (for either version of the spell) varies from 2,000 to 5,000 gold pieces.

Symbol (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 53

Explanation/Description: The cleric casting this spell inscribes a symbol in the air or upon any surface, according to his or her wish. The symbol glows for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting it. The particular symbol used can be selected by the cleric at the time of casting, selection being limited to:

HOPELESSNESS - Creatures seeing it must turn back in dejection and/or surrender to capture or attack unless they save versus magic. Its effects last for 3 to 12 turns.

PAIN - Creatures affected suffer -4 on "to hit" dice and -2 on dexterity ability score due to wracking pains. The effects last for 2-20 turns.

PERSUASION - Creatures seeing the symbol become of the same alignment as and friendly to the cleric who scribed the symbol for from 1 to 20 turns unless a saving throw versus magic is made.

The material components of this spell are mercury and phosphorus. (cf. eighth level magic-user Symbol spell.)

Wind Walk (Cleric Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the cleric, and possibly one or two other persons. to alter the substance of his or her body to cloud-like vapors. A magical wind then wafts the cleric along at a speed of up to 60" per turn, or as slow as 6" per turn, as the spell caster wills. The Wind Walk spell lasts as long as the cleric desires, up to a maximum duration of 6 turns (one hour) per level of experience of the caster. For every 8 levels of experience the cleric has attained, up to 24, he or she is able to touch another and carry that person. or those two persons, along with the Wind Walk. Persons wind walking are not invisible but appear misty and are transparent. If fully clothed in white they are 80% likely to be mistaken for clouds, fog, vapors, etc. The material components of this spell are fire and holy/unholy water.

DRUID SPELLS

Notes regarding druid (cleric) spells:

The religious symbol of druids is mistletoe. Of lesser importance is holly. Some magical power resides in oak leaves. All of the druidic spells with a material component assume the use of mistletoe, as gathered by the druid character in the manner described hereafter. Lesser mistletoe, as well as holly and oak leaves, will reduce spell effectiveness as follows:

* or + 1 on saving throw, if any, if category is not applicable ** or +2 on saving throw, if any, if category is not applicable

Greater mistletoe, that is, mistletoe which is properly harvested by the druid, must be gathered by the druid as follows. On Midsummer's Eve, the druid must locate his mistletoe, cut it with a gold or silver sickle and catch it in a bowl before it touches the ground.

Lesser mistletoe is that which is not harvested on the eve of midsummer, or that which the druid takes in a way which is not prescribed (such as picking by hand).

Borrowed mistletoe is any mistletoe which is not personally harvested by the druid.

Holly and oak leaves must be gathered by the druid, but these may be picked or gathered in any manner.

DRUID LEVEL 1

Animal Friendship (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 6 turns Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One animal Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to show any animal which is of at least animal intelligence (but not above semi- intelligent rating) that the druid is disposed to be its friend. If the animal does not make its saving throw versus magic immediately when the spell is begun, it will stand quietly while the druid finishes the spell. Thereafter, it will follow the druid about, and he or she can teach it 3 specific "tricks" or tasks for each point of intelligence it possesses. (Typical tasks are those taught a dog or similar pet, i.e. they cannot be complex.) Training for each such "trick" must be done over a period of 1 week, and all must be done within 3 months of acquiring the creature. During the training period the animal will not harm the druid, but if the creature is left alone for more than 3 days it will revert to its natural state and act accordingly. The druid may use this spell to attract up to 2 hit dice of animal(s) per level of experience he or she possesses. This also means that the druid can never have more hit dice of animals so attracted and trained than are equal to or less than twice his or her levels of experience. Only neutral animals can be attracted, befriended, and trained. The material components of this spell ore mistletoe and a piece of food attractive to the animal subject.

Ceremony (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 hour Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One creature, item, or area Type: Invocation Source: UA 41

Explanation/Description: The druidic Ceremony spell is similar to the clerical spell of the same name. It has a number of applications within the hierarchy of druids. The effect of a Ceremony spell does not leave behind an aura of magic, although a know alignment spell or similar magic might reveal the force of true neutrality involved in the magic. Druidic ceremonies include the following, which can be cast by a druid of the indicated or lower level:

1st-level druid: coming of age, rest eternal, marriage 3rd-level druid: dedication, investiture

7th-level druid: initiation, special vows

9th-level druid: hallowed ground

12th-level druid: cast out

The characteristics of the various types of druidic Ceremony spells are as follows:

Coming of age is performed upon young people in druidic societies, usually when they reach the age of 14, and is symbolic of the young man's or young woman's entrance into adulthood. Effects of the spell are the same as for the clerical version ( + 1 bonus to a single saving throw); see the cleric text for other details.

Rest eternal is cast upon the body of a deceased being, by means of which the soullspirit of the creature is hastened in its journey to its final resting place. The spells raise dead and resurrection will not restore life to a character who has been the object of this spell, although a wish spell would serve that purpose.

Marriage is essentially identical to the clerical Ceremony of the same name.

Dedication allows the recipient of the spell to be taken into the ranks of the druid's followerslworshipers, provided that the character is true neutral in alignment. A recipient of this spell is charged, as are druids, with the responsibility to preserve and protect nature and the balance of forces in the world. In other respects it is similar to the clerical Ceremony of the same name.

Investiture is a rite that must be performed upon a character before he or she can become an Aspirant (1st-level druid). It conveys no other benefit.

Initiation imbues the druid with the shape-changing and immunity to woodland charm powers that become available to the character upon attaining 7th level. This ceremony must be performed upon a druid immediately after he or she begins to advance upward through the 7th level of experience; if cast earlier than this, it will not work, and the druid will not have the benefit of the above-mentioned special powers until receiving initiation. Usually a druid must seek out another druid of 7th or higher level to perform the rite, but in unusual cases a druid may cast it upon himself or herself.

Special vows is a ceremony that operates in the same fashion as the clerical rite of the same name. It does not work upon paladins, but will function upon cavaliers of any alignment.

Hallowed ground is cast by the druid on his or her permanent grove. This ceremony ensorcels the trees of the grove so that they will never be affected by disease or other natural disasters. The ground remains hallowed for as long as the druid maintains this grove as his or her permanent base.

Cast out is a form of excommunication or punishment that can be performed by a druid upon someone who has committed sacrilege upon the natural environment or in some other way violated the principles and standards of druidism. Its effects may be lessened at a later date by the casting of a reversed version of this ceremony, either by the same druid or another one of at least as high a level as the original caster, but the casting out can never be completely neutralized except by a Hierophant Druid of any level. A character who has been cast out exudes a powerful negative aura, causing any natural creature encountered to react negatively to the character. This includes all normal (non-magical) animals, monsters native to the woodlands, domesticated beasts such as horses and dogs, and all druids and their followers.

Casting out is a very powerful form of punishment, and can only be performed by a druid who has received permission from his or her Archdruid to do so. Similarly, an Archdruid must get permission from the Great Druid, and the Great Druid from the Grand Druid. The Grand Druid does not need to obtain permission, but his or her actions may be reversed by a Hierophant Druid at any time.

This ceremony is usually only used on occasions where the severity of an offense warrants such extreme punishment; a druid who asks for and is denied permission to perform it, or one who later has his or her actions offset by another druid, may be subject to punishment by higher-ranking members of the hierarchy. An intended recipient of this ceremony who is unwilling receives a saving throw versus spell, at -4, to negate its effects.

The components of a ceremony spell always include mistletoe, and the rite (of any sort) must be performed in a druid grove or some other natural, healthy patch of forest. Such ceremonies are normally conducted at either dawn or dusk, the times when night and day are in balance.

Detect Balance (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One object or creature per round Type: Divination Source: UA 42

Explanation/Description: This spell allows the druid to determine if non-neutral forces and alignments are at work in the area of effect (upon or in the object or creature being scanned). An alignment that is partly neutral (such as that of a neutral good cleric) will radiate a mild aura, while an alignment that has no neutral component (such as that of a chaotic good fighter) will give off a strong aura. The spell does not determine exact alignment, but only tells the druid if the object or creature being examined is something other than true neutral; a paladin and a chaotic evil thief, for instance, will radiate the same aura at the same strength.

The spell will not function upon non-living items that do not have a natural aura (such as a vial of poison), but will work upon an object such as an aligned magical sword. Creatures that are under the effect of an unknowable alignment spell or similar magic will not radiate any aura when this spell is used upon them. If the magic is used upon something or someone that exudes a true neutral alignment (such as another druid), it will produce a smooth, well-balanced aura identifiable as one of neutrality.

Detect Magic (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 12 rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 4" long Type: Divination Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: When the Detect Magic spell is cast, the druid detects magical radiations in a path 1" wide, and up to 4" long, in the direction he or she is facing. The caster can turn 60 degrees per round. Note that stone walls of 1' or more thickness, solid metal of but 1/12' thickness, or 3' or more of solid wood will black the spell. The spell requires the use of the druid's religious symbol.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the first level cleric spell of the same name.)

Detect Poison (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: UA 42

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to determine if some object, creature, or area contains poison or has been poisoned. In general, the area which can be perused by the dweomer of the spell is about 1 cubic yard of space. Therefore, the druid cannot determine if an entire pond is poisoned, but he or she could tell if a portion--or something within the portion--scanned during the round contained poison. There is also a 5% chance per level of experience of the caster that the type of poison used or contained in the area scanned will also be discovered by the spell, i.e., contact poison (insinuative), ingestive, or respirative (gas).

While more than one area can be scanned with a detect poison spell during the duration of the spell, it is almost fruitless to attempt to determine poison type for all of those areas; any single failure on the "5% chance per level" roll to detect poison type makes this spell useless for this purpose for the remainder of the duration of that particular casting. In addition to mistletoe, the druid needs a yew leaf as a material component for this spell. The latter item will turn brown if poison is present, so that several will possibly be needed to fully utilize the entire spell duration.

Detect Snares& Pits (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 4 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 4" long Type: Divination Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: Upon casting this spell, the druid is able to detect snares & pits along the 1" wide by 4" long area of effect path and thus avoid such deadfalls. Note that in the underground only simple pits, not all forms of traps, would be detected by means of this spell. Outdoors, the spell detects all forms of traps--deadfalls, missile trips, snares, etc. The spell lasts 4 melee rounds for each level of experience of the druid casting it, i.e. 4 rounds at the 1st level, 8 at the 2nd, 12 (1 turn plus 2 rounds) at the 3rd, etc.

Entangle (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 4" diameter Type: Alteration Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to cause plants in the area of effect to entangle creatures within the area. The grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures, thus holding them fast for the duration of the spell. If any creature in the area of effect makes its saving throw, the effect of the spell is to slow its movement by 50% for the spell duration.

Faerie Fire (Druid Level 1)

Components: V Range: 8" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 4 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 12 linear feet/level within a 4" radius Type: Alteration Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: When the druid casts this spell, he or she outlines an object or creature with a pale glowing light. The completeness of the lining is dependent upon the number of linear feet the druid is able to affect, about 12' per level (i.e. one 6' man or two 3' kobolds). If there is sufficient power, several objects or creatures can be covered by the faerie fire, but one must be fully outlined before the next is begun, and all must be within the area of effect. Outlined objects or creatures (including those otherwise invisible) are visible at 8" in the dark, 4" if the viewer is near a bright light source. Outlined creatures are easier to strike, thus opponents gain +2 on "to hit" dice. The faerie fire can be blue, green, or violet according to the word of the druid at the time he or she casts the spell. The faerie fire does not itself cause any harm to the object or creature lined.

Invisibility To Animals (Druid Level 1)

Components: S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 54

Explanation/Description: When an Invisibility To Animals spell is cast by a druid, the recipient of the magic becomes totally undetectable with respect to normal animals with intelligence under 6. Normal animals includes giant-sized varieties, but it excludes any with magical abilities or powers. The magicked individual is able to walk amongst animals or pass through them as if he or she did not exist. For example, this individual could stand before the hungriest of lions or a tyrannosaurus rex and not be molested or even noticed. However, a nightmare, hell hound, or winter wolf would certainly be aware of the individual. The material component of this spell is holly rubbed over the individual.

Locate Animals (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2" path 2" long/level Type: Divination Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: The druid with a Locate Animals spell is able to determine the direction and distance of any of the desired animals within the area of effect. The sought after animal can be of any sort, but the druid must concentrate on the sort desired. The cleric faces in a direction, thinks of the animal desired, and he or she then knows if any such animal is within spell range. During a round of spell effect duration, the druid must face in only one direction, i.e., only a 2" wide path can be known. The spell lasts 1 round per level of experience of the druid, while the length of the path is 2" per level of experience.

Pass without Trace (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the recipient can move through any type of terrain--mud, snow, dust, etc.--and leave neither footprint nor scent. Thus, tracking a person or other creature covered by this dweomer is impossible. The material components of this spell are a leaf of mistletoe (which must be burned thereafter and the ashes powdered and scattered) and a sprig of pine or evergreen. Note: The area which is passed over will radiate a dweomer for 6-36 turns after the affected creature passes.

Precipitation (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 3" diam. cylinder up to 12" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 42

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, all water vapor in the atmosphere within the area of effect is precipitated in the form of a light rain. (Note that low-level spell casters will certainly be within the area of effect of the spell.) The rain will continue for only as many segments of time as the spell caster has levels of experience. Since only some 1/100 of an inch of precipitation falls during the course of a segment, the spell will have only the following general effects:

• Thin, light material will become damp in 1 segment and thoroughly wet thereafter.

• Twigs and heavy material such as canvas will be damp in 2 segments and wet thereafter.

• Flat, relatively non-porous surfaces, such as stone floors, rock, painted wood, etc., will be damp in 1 segment and filmed with water thereafter.

• Semi-porous surfaces and materials will become damp on the surface in 2 segments, and thereafter the damp area will progress downward/inward, until after 5 segments the surface or material will be thoroughly wet.

• Porous surfaces and materials will simply absorb the rain up to the limit of their capacity--which probably extends well beyond the duration of the spell.

• Small flames, such as those of candles, will be extinguished by 1 segment of precipitation. Small fires will slow and become smoky for 1 round after precipitation has ceased. Large fires will not be materially affected by the spell.

Note that if the temperature is above 90° F., the duration of the spell will be extended to double normal except in arid regions. Also, where the temperature ranges between 33' and 31O F., the precipitation will fall in the form of sleet. At 30° F. and below, the precipitation will fall as rather thick snow, and most dampnesslwetness effects will be negated or postponed until the snow melts. If magical heat of large area (i.e., a Wall of Fire, Fireball, Flame Strike, etc.) is applied to precipitation, a cloud of warm fog of double the area of the precipitation effect will be formed. If magical cold is applied to the spell or the water which remains thereafter, normal ice will be formed. The material component of the spell is a pinch of silver dust, and mistletoe.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is identical to the 1st-level clerical spell of the same name, except that the druid needs mistletoe as an additional material component.)

Predict Weather (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 2 hours/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Nine square miles Type: Divination Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: When a Predict Weather spell is cast by a druid, he or she gains 100% accurate knowledge of the weather (sky, temperature, precipitation) in a nine square mile area centering on the druid. For each level of experience of the druid casting the spell, two hours advance weather can be forecast. Thus, at 1st level the druid knows what the weather will be for two hours; at second level he or she knows the weather for 4 hours in advance, etc.

Purify Water (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 4" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot/level, 1" square area Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: This spell makes dirty, contaminated water clean and pure, suitable for consumption. Up to one cubic foot per level of the druid casting the spell can be thus purified. The reverse of the spell, Contaminate Water, works in exactly the same manner, and even holy/unholy water can be spoiled by its effects.

Shillelagh (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One normal oaken club Type: Alteration Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the druid to change his own oaken cudgel into a magical weapon which is +1 to hit and inflicts 2-8 hit points of damage on opponents up to man-sized, 2-5 hit points of damage on larger opponents. The druid must wield the shillelagh, of course. The material components of this spell are an oaken club, any mistletoe, and a shamrock leaf.

Speak With Animals (Druid Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One animal type in 4" radius of druid Type: Alteration Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: By employing this spell, the druid is empowered to comprehend and communicate with any warm or cold-blooded animal which is not mindless (such as an amoeba). The druid is able to ask questions, receive answers, and generally be on amicable terms with the animal. This ability lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the druid employing the spell. If the animal is neutral, there is a possibility that the animal, and its like associates, will do some favor or service for the druid. This possibility will be determined by the referee by consulting a special reaction chart, using the charisma of the druid and his actions as the major determinants. Note that this spell Speak With Monsters differs from (q.v.), for it allows conversation only with basically normal, non-fantastic creatures such as apes, bears, cats, dogs, elephants, and so on.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the second level cleric spell of the same name.)

DRUID LEVEL 2

Barkskin (Druid Level 2)

Components: V,S,M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: When the druid casts the Barkskin spell upon a creature, its armor class improves 1 place because the creature's skin becomes as tough as bark. In addition, saving throws versus all attack forms except magic increase by +1. This spell can be placed on the druid casting it or on any other creature he or she touches. In addition to mistletoe. the caster must have a handful of bark from an oak as the material component of the spell.

Charm Person Or Mammal (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 8" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One person or mammal Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: This spell will affect any single person or mammal it is cast upon. The creature then will regard the druid who cast the spell as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The spell does not enable the druid to control the charmed creature as if it were an automaton, but any word or action of the druid will be viewed in its most favorable way. Thus, a charmed creature would not obey a suicide command, but might believe the druid if assured that the only chance to save the druid's life is if the creature holds back an onrushing red dragon for "just a round or two". Note also that the spell does not empower the druid with linguistic capabilities beyond those he or she normally possesses. The duration of the spell is a function of the charmed creature's intelligence, and it is tied to the saving throw. The spell may be broken if a saving throw is made, and this saving throw is checked on a periodic basis according to the creature's intelligence:

If the druid harms, or attempts to harm, the charmed creature by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic (q.v.) is successfully cast upon the charmed creature, the charm will be broken automatically. The spell affects all mammalian animals and persons. The term person includes all bipedal human and humanoid creatures of approximately man-size, or less than man-size, including those affected by the Hold Person spell (q.v.). If the recipient of the Charm Person Or Mammal spell makes its saving throw versus the spell, its effect is negated.

Create Water (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 55

Explanation/Description: The druid can create pure, drinkable water by means of a Create Water spell. He or she creates 1 cubic foot of water for each level of experience attained. The water can be created at a maximum distance of 1" from the druid.

Cure Light Wounds (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Character touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 56

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the druid causes from 1 to 8 hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Light Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the druid's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused wounds are 1 to 8 hit points of damage. The druid must have mistletoe (of any sort) to effect this spell.

(Original Explanation/Description: With the exception of the fact that the druid must have mistletoe (of any sort) to effect this spell, it is the same as the first level cleric Cure Light Wounds spell.)

Feign Death (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 4 rounds +2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Necromantic Source: PH 56

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster or any other creature whose levels of experience/hit dice do not exceed the druid's own level can be put into a cataleptic state which is impossible to distinguish from actual death. Although the person/creature affected by the Feign Death spell can smell, hear, and know what is going on, no feeling or sight of any sort is possible; thus, any wounding or mistreatment of the body will not be felt and no reaction will occur and damage will be only one-half normal. In addition, paralysis, poison, or energy level drain will not affect the individual/creature under the influence of this spell, but poison injected or otherwise introduced into the body will become effective when the spell recipient is no longer under the influence of this spell, although a saving throw is permitted. Note that only a willing individual can be affected by Feign Death. The spell caster is able to end the spell effects at any time desired, but it requires 1 full round for bodily functions to begin again. The material component is a piece of dead oak leaf (in addition to mistletoe, of course.)

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the third level magic-user Feign Death spell (q.v.). The material component is a piece of dead oak leaf (in addition to mistletoe, of course).)

Fire Trap (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: Object touched Type: Evocation Source: PH 56

Explanation/Description: Any closable item (book, box, bottle. chest, coffer, coffin, door, drawer, and so forth) is affected by a Fire Trap spell, but the item so trapped cannot have a second spell such as Hold Portal or Wizard Lock placed upon it except as follows: if a Fire Trap/Hold Portal is attempted, only the spell first cast will work, and the other will be negated (both negated if cast simultaneously). If a Fire Trap is cast after a Wizard Lock, the former is negated, if both are cast simultaneously both are negated, and if a Wizard Lock is cast after placement of a Fire Trap there is a 50% chance that both spells will be negated. A Knock spell will not affect a Fire Trap in any way--as soon as the offending party enters/touches, the trap will discharge. The caster can use the trapped object without discharging it. When the trap is discharged there will be an explosion of 5' radius, and all creatures within this area must make saving throws versus magic. Damage is 1-4 hit points plus 1 hit point per level of the druid who cast the spell, or one-half the total amount for creatures successfully saving versus magic. The item trapped is NOT harmed by this explosion. There is only 50% of the normal chance to detect a Fire Trap, and failure to remove it when such action is attempted detonates it immediately. To place this spell, the caster must trace the outline of the closure with a stick of charcoal and holly berries.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the fourth level magic-user Fire Trap spell (q.v.) except as shown above and for the fact that the material components are holly berries and a stick of charcoal to trace the outline of the closure.)

Flame Blade (Druid Level 2)

Components: V,S,M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3' long, sword-like blade touched Type: Evocation Source: UA 42

Explanation/Description: When a druid casts this spell, he or she causes a blazing ray of red-hot fire to spring forth from his or her hand. This blade-like ray is actually wielded as if it were a scimitar, and if the druid scores a successful hit while employing the flame blade, the creature struck will take 5-8 points of damage--with a damage bonus of +2 if the creature is of the undead class or is especially vulnerable to fire, or a -2 penalty to damage if the creature is protected from fire. No damage can be inflicted upon a creature which is a fire-dweller or which uses fire as an attack form. The flame blade will ignite combustible materials such as parchment, straw, dry sticks, cloth, etc. However, it is not a magical weapon in the normal sense of the term except with respect to undead monsters, so creatures that can be struck only by magical weapons are not harmed by this spell unless they are of the undead class. In addition to mistletoe, the druid must have a leaf of sumac in order to cast this spell.

Goodberry (Druid Level 2)

Components: V,S,M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 day + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2-8 fresh berries Type: Alteration-Evocation Reversible Source: UA 42

Explanation/Description: When a druid casts a Goodberry spell upon a handful of freshly picked berries, from 2 to 8 of them will become magical. The druid casting the spell (as well as any other druid of 3rd or higher level) will be able to immediately discern which berries were affected. A Detect Magic spell will discover this also. Berries with the dweomer will either enable a hungry creature of approximately man-size to eat one and be as well-nourished as if a full normal meal were eaten, or else the berry will cure 1 point of physical damage due to wounds or other similar causes, subject to a maximum of 8 points of such curing in any 24-hour period. The reverse of the spell, Badberry, causes rotten berries to appear wholesome but each actually delivers 1 point of poison damage (no saving throw) if ingested. The material component of the spell is mistletoe passed over the freshly picked, edible berries to be enspelled (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, etc.).

Heat Metal (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 7 rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 56

Explanation/Description: By means of the Heat Metal spell, the druid is able to excite the molecules of ferrous metal (iron, iron alloys, steel) and thus cause the affected metal to become hot. On the first round of the spell, the effect is merely to cause the metal to be very warm and uncomfortable to touch, and this is also the effect on the last melee round of the spell's duration. The second and sixth (next to the last) round effect is to cause blisters and damage; the third, fourth, and fifth rounds the metal becomes searing hot, causing disability and damage to exposed flesh each round, as shown below:

Note also that materials such as wood, leather, or flammable cloth will smoulder and burn if exposed to searing hot metal, and such materials will then cause searing damage to exposed flesh on the next round, Fire resistance (potion or ring) or a Protection From Fire spell totally negates the effects of a Heat Metal spell, as will immersion in water or snow, or exposure to a cold or Ice Storm spell (qq.v.). For each level of experience of the druid casting the spell, he or she is able to affect the metal of one man-sized creature, i.e. arms and armor, or a single mass of metal equal to 500 gold pieces in weight, cumulative. The reverse, Chill Metal, counters a Heat Metal spell or else causes metal to act as follows, each round:

The Chill Metal spell is countered by a Resist Cold spell, or by any great heat, i.e. proximity to a blazing fire (not a mere torch), a magical flaming sword. a wall of fire, etc.

Locate Plants (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" diameter/level circle Type: Divination Source: PH 56

Explanation/Description: When this spell is used by a druid, he or she is able to locate any desired type of plant within the area of effect. Note: the plant type must be singular and concentrated upon. The spell's area of effect centers on, and moves with, the druid.

Obscurement (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 4 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: This spell causes a misty vapor to arise around the druid. It persists in this locale for 4 rounds per level of experience of the druid casting the spell, and it reduces visibility of any sort (including infravision) to 2' to 8' (2d4). The area of effect is a cubic progression based on the druid's level of experience, a 1" cube at 1st level, a 2" cube at 2nd level, a 3" cube at 3rd level, and so on. Underground, the height of the vapor is restricted to 1", although the length and breadth of the cloud is not so limited. A strong wind will cut the duration of an Obscurement spell by 75%.

Produce Flame (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: A bright flame, equal in brightness to a torch, springs forth from the druid's palm when he or she casts a Produce Flame spell. This magical flame lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of the druid casting the spell. The flame does not harm the druid's person. but it is hot, and it will cause combustion of inflammable materials (paper, cloth, dry wood, oil, etc.). The druid is capable of hurling the magical flame as a missile, with a range of 4". The flame will flash on impact, igniting combustibles within a 3' diameter of its center of impact. and then extinguish itself. The druid can cause it to go out any time he or she desires, but fire caused by the flame cannot be so extinguished.

Reflecting Pool (Druid Level 2)

Components: V,S,M Range: 1" Casting Time: 2 hours Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation-Divination Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the druid to cause a pool of normal water found in a natural setting to act as a scrying device. The pool can be of no greater diameter than 2 feet per level of the spell caster. The effect is to create a scrying device similar to a crystal ball, in much the same fashion as the magic-user spell Magic Mirror and the clerical spell Magic Font, both described elsewhere in this text. The scrying can extend only to those planes of existence which are coexistent with or border upon the Prime Material Plane, i.e. the Inner Planes (including the Para-elemental Planes, Plane of Shadow, et al.). Penalties for attempting to scry beyond the druid's own plane, as given in the description for crystal ball (see Dungeon Masters Guide) are applicable.

The following spells can be cast through a reflecting pool, with a 5% per level chance of operating correctly: Detect Magic, Detect Snares and Pits, Detect Poison. Infravision and ultravision will operate normally through the reflecting pool, as will the spells Starshine and Moonbeam (see hereafter). The druid must use both mistletoe and the oil extracted from such nuts as the hickory and the walnut, refined, and dropped in three measures upon the surface of the pool. (A measure need be no more than a single ounce of oil.)

Slow Poison (Druid Level 2)

Components: V,S,M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: When this spell is placed upon a poisoned individual it greatly slows the effects of any venom, even causing a supposedly dead individual to have life restored if it is cast upon the victim within a number of turns less than or equal to the level of experience of the cleric after the poisoning was suffered. i.e. a victim poisoned up to 10 turns previously could be temporarily saved by a 10th or higher level cleric who cast Slow Poison upon the victim. While this spell does not neutralize the venom, it does prevent it from substantially harming the individual for the duration of its magic, but each turn the poisoned creature will lose 1 hit point from the effect of the venom (although the victim will never go below 1 hit point while the Slow Poison spell's duration lasts). Thus, in the example above, the victim poisoned 10 turns previously has only 10 hit points, so when the 10th level cleric casts the spell, the victim remains with 1 hit point until the spell duration expires, and hopefully during that period a full cure can be accomplished. The material components of this spell are mistletoe and a bud of garlic which must be crushed and smeared on the victim's bare feet.

If the druid is able to determine that the poison was one made from some living plant, he or she has a 5% chance per level of knowing an herbal antidote which will neutralize the poison. If the actual type of poison is not given by the Dungeon Master, a successful casting of Detect Poison [type] indicates an organic poison which can be countered. A dice roll equal to or less than the druid's chance to find an antidote indicates neutralization.

(Original explanation/description: Except where noted, this spell is identical to the 2nd-level clerical spell Slow Poison.)

Trip (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One 10' long object Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: The spell caster must use a length of vine, a stick, pole, rope, or similar object to cast this magic upon. The Trip spell causes the object to rise slightly off the ground or floor it is resting on and trip creatures crossing it if they fail to make their saving throw versus magic. Note that only as many creatures can be tripped as are actually stepping across the magicked object, i.e. a 3' long piece of rope could trip only 1 man-sized creature. Creatures moving at a very rapid pace (running) when tripped will take 1-6 (d6) hit points of damage and be stunned for 2-5 (d4+1) rounds if the surface they full upon is very hard, but if it is turf or non- hard they will merely be stunned for 2-5 segments. Very large creatures such as elephants will not be at all affected by a Trip. The object magicked will continue to trip all creatures passing over it, including the spell caster, for as long as the spell duration lasts. Creatures aware of the object and its potential add +4 to their saving throw when crossing it. The object is 80% undetectable without magical means of detection.

Warp Wood (Druid Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast the druid causes a volume of wood to bend and warp, permanently destroying its straightness, form and strength. The range of a Warp Wood spell is 1" for each level of experience of the druid casting it. It affects approximately a fifteen inch shaft of wood of up to one inch diameter per level of the druid. Thus, at 1st level, a druid might be able to warp a hand axe handle, or four crossbow bolts, at 5th level he or she could warp the shaft of a typical magic spear. Note that boards or planks can also be affected, causing a door to be sprung or a boat or ship to leak.

DRUID LEVEL 3

Call Lightning (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 72" diameter Type: Alteration Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: When a Call Lightning spell is cast, there must be a storm of some sort in the area--a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado. The druid is then able to call down belts of lightning from sky to ground. Each bolt will cause damage equal to 2 eight-sided dice (2d8) plus 1 like die (d8) for each level of experience of the druid casting the spell. Thus, a 4th level druid calls down a six-die (6d8) bolt. The bolt of lightning flashes down in a perpendicular stroke at whatever distance the spell caster decides, up to the 36" radial distance maximum. Any creature within a 1" radius of the path or the point where the lightning strikes will take full damage, unless a saving throw is made, in which case only one-half damage is taken. Full/half damage refers to the number of hit dice of the lightning bolt, i.e. if it is of eight dice strength, the victim will take either eight dice (8d8) or four dice (4d8), if the saving throw is made, of damage. The druid is able to call one bolt of lightning every 10 melee rounds (1 turn), to a maximum number of turns equal to the level of experience he or she has attained, i.e. 1 bolt/turn for each level of experience. Note: This spell is normally usable outdoors only.

Cloudburst (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 3" diam. cylinder up to 6" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the caster causes the atmosphere to instantly precipitate all of its water vapor in the form of huge drops of rain, the resulting condensation not only causing a true downburst of rain but also sucking more vapor into the area to likewise be precipitated. The cloudburst will effectively drench everything in its area of effect within 1 segment, for its rain will fall at the rate of 1/10 inch per segment, or 1 inch of rainfall in 1 round. All normal fires within the area of effect will be extinguished by a cloudburst--small ones instantly, medium-sized ones in 3-5 segments, and large-sized ones in 8-10 segments. Magical fires will also be extinguished by a cloudburst, with the following general rules applying:

• Permanent magical fires will re-light in 1-2 rounds. Small, rekindlable magical fires such as that of a flame tongue sword will be affected only during the actual cloudburst.

• Spells such as produce fire and burning hands will be negated. Large-area spells such as fireball, flame strike, wall of fire, etc., will, in the course of being extinguished, vaporize the rain into a cloud of steam covering an area four times as large as the spell's area of effect (i.e., a cylinder of up to 12" in diameter and as much as 24" high). This steam will inflict 1-3 points of damage per round on normal creatures within its area, and will do twice that damage to cold-dwelling or cold-using creatures. The cloud of steam will persist for 2-5 rounds, half that if a breeze is blowing, or only 1 round if a strong wind is blowing.

In arid regions, the cloudburst will act only as a double-strength Precipitation spell. In hot and humid areas, the duration of the spell will be extended to 2 rounds. In areas with a temperature between 33º and 31ºF. inclusive, sleet rather than rain will fall, with ice and slush being formed when it accumulates. In temperatures of 30ºF. and lower, the cloudburst becomes a snowburst, with one inch of snow per segment falling.

Lightning cannot be called by the use of a Cloudburst spell, and a Call Lightning spell cannot be used in the same area at the same time.

The material components for the spell are powdered silver and powdered iodine crystals, mistletoe, and the druid's holy symbol.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is essentially the same as the 3rd-level clerical spell of the same name, with only the following special notations and additions: Lightning cannot be called by the use of a Cloudburst spell, and a Call Lightning spell cannot be used in the same area at the same time. Also, the druid must use mistletoe as an additional material component)

Cure Disease (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: The druid cures most diseases--including those of a parasitic, bacterial, or viral nature--by placing his or her hand upon the diseased creature. The affliction rapidly disappears thereafter, making the cured creature whole and well in from 1 turn to 1 week, depending on the kind of disease and the state of its advancement when the cure took place. The reverse of the Cure Disease spell is Cause Disease. To be effective, the druid must touch the intended victim, and the victim must fail the saving throw. The disease caused will begin to affect the victim in 16 turns, causing the afflicted creature to lose 1 hit point per turn, and 1 point of strength per hour, until the creature is at 10% of original hit points and strength, at which time the afflicted is weak and virtually helpless. The material component for this spell is mistletoe.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the 3rd level cleric Cure Disease spell (q.v.), with the exception that the druid must have mistletoe to effect it. It is reversible to Cause Disease also.)

Hold Animal (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One to four animals Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid holds one to four animals rigid. Animals affected are normal or giant-sized mammals, birds, or reptiles, but not monsters such as centaurs, gorgons, harpies, naga, etc. That is, apes, bears, crocodiles, dogs, eagles, foxes, giant beavers, and similar animals are subject to this spell. The hold lasts for 2 melee rounds per level of experience of the druid casting it. It is up to the druid as to how many animals he or she wishes to hold with the spell, but the greater the number, the better chance each will have of not being affected by the spell. Note that a maximum body weight of 400 pounds (100 pounds with respect to non- mammals)/animal/level of experience of the druid can be affected, i.e. an 8th level druid can affect up to four 3,200 pound mammals or a like number of 800 pound non-mammals such as birds or reptiles. Each animal gets a saving throw: if only 1 is the subject of the spell, it has a penalty of -4 on its die roll to save; if 2 are subject, they each receive a penalty of -2 on their die rolls; if 3 are subject, they each receive a penalty of -1 on their die rolls; if 4 are subject, each makes a normal saving throw.

Know Alignment (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 5 rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature per round Type: Divination Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: A Know Alignment spell enables the druid to exactly read the aura of a person--human, semi-human, or non-human. This will reveal the exact alignment of the person. Up to 5 persons can be examined with this spell. Certain magical devices will negate the ability to Know Alignment.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is essentially the same as the 2nd-level clerical spell of the same name, except as noted above, and with the following additional difference. Because of the shorter duration, only five creatures (maximum) can be examined by this spell, and it cannot be reversed.)

Neutralize Poison (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: By means of a Neutralize Poison spell, the druid detoxifies any sort of venom in the creature or substance touched. Note that an opponent, such as a poisonous reptile or snake (or even an envenomed weapon of an opponent) unwilling to be so touched requires the druid to score a hit in melee combat. Effects of the spell are permanent only with respect to poison existing in the touched creature at the time of the touch, i.e. creatures (or objects) which generate new poison will not be permanently detoxified. The reversed spell, Poison, likewise requires an attack (a "to hit" touch which succeeds), and the victim is allowed a saving throw versus poison. If the latter is unsuccessful, the victim is killed by the poison.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the 4th level cleric Neutralize Poison spell (q.v.).)

Plant Growth (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 16" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2" x 2" square area/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 57

Explanation/Description: When a Plant Growth spell is cast by the druid, he or she causes normal vegetation a grow, entwine, and entangle to form a thicket or jungle which creatures must hack or force a way through at a movement rate of 1" per, or 2" per with respect to larger than man-sized creatures. Note that the area must have brush and trees in it in order to allow this spell to go into effect. Briars, bushes, creepers, lianas, roots, saplings, thistles, thorn, trees, vines, and weeds become so thick and overgrown in the area of effect as to form a barrier. The area of effect is 2" x 2" square per level of experience of the druid, in any square or rectangular shape that the druid decides upon at the time of the spell casting. Thus an 8th level druid can affect a maximum area of 16" x 16" square, a 32" x 8" rectangle, a 64" X 4" rectangle, 128" x 2" rectangle, etc. The spell's effects persist in the area until it is cleared by labor, fire, or such magical means as a Dispel Magic spell (q.v.)

Protection From Fire (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: The effect of a Protection From Fire spell differs according to the recipient of the magic--the druid or some other creature. If the spell is cast upon the druid, it confers complete invulnerability to normal fires (torches, bonfires, oil fires, and the like) and to exposure to magical fires such as demon fire, burning hands, fiery dragon breath, Fireball, Fire Seeds, Fire Storm, Flame Strike, hell hound breath, Meteor Swarm, pyrohydra breath, etc. until an accumulation of 12 hit points of potential damage per level of experience of the druid has been absorbed by the Protection From Fire spell, at which time the spell is negated. Otherwise the spell lasts for 1 turn per level of experience of the druid. If the spell is cast upon another creature, it gives invulnerability to normal fire, gives a bonus of +4 on saving throw die rolls made versus fire attacks, and reduces damage sustained from magical fires by 50%.

Pyrotechnics (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 16" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10 or 100 times the fire source Type: Alteration Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: A Pyrotechnics spell can have either of two effects. It produces a flashing and fiery burst of glowing, coloured aerial fireworks which lasts 1 segment per experience level of the druid casting the spell and temporarily blinds those creatures in the area of effect or under it or within 12" of the area (and in any event in unobstructed line of sight); or it causes a thick writhing stream of smoke to arise from the fire source of the spell and form a choking cloud which lasts for 1 round per experience level of the druid casting it, covering a roughly globular area from the ground or floor up (or conforming to the shape of a confined area), which totally obscures vision beyond 2'. The spell requires a fire of some sort in range. The area of Pyrotechnics effect is 10 times the volume of the fire source with respect to fireworks, 100 times with respect to smoke. In either case, the fire source is immediately extinguished by the employment of the spell.

Snare (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: Permanent until triggered Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2' diameter circle plus 1/6' per level of the spell caster Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the druid to make a snare which is 90% undetectable without magical aid. The snare can be made from any supple vine, a thong, or a rope. When the Snare spell is cast upon it, the cordlike object blends with the background of its location. One end of the snare is tied in a loop which will contract about 1 or more of the limbs of any creature stepping inside the circle (note that the head of a worm or snake could also be thus ensnared). If a strong and supple tree is nearby, the snare will be fastened to it, and the dweomer of the spell will cause it to bend and then straighten when the loop is triggered, thus causing 1-6 hit points of damage to the creature trapped, and lifting off the ground by the trapped member(s) (or strangling it if the head/neck triggered the snare). If no such sapling or tree is available, the cord-like object will tighten upon the member(s) and then enwrap the entire creature, doing no damage, but tightly binding it. The snare is magical, so for 1 hour it is breakable only by storm giant or greater strength (23); each hour thereafter, the snare material loses magic so as to become 1 point more breakable per hour--22 after 2 hours, 21 after 3, 20 after 4--until 6 full hours have elapsed. At that time, 18 strength will break the bonds. After 12 hours have elapsed, the materials of the snare lose all of the magical properties, and the loop opens, freeing anything it had held. The druid must have a snake skin and a piece of sinew from a strong animal to weave into the cord-like object from which he or she will make the snare. Only mistletoe is otherwise needed.

Spike Growth (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 3-12 turns + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' square per level of caster Type: Alteration/Enchantment Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: Wherever any sort of plant growth of moderate size or density is found, this spell is of service. It enables the caster to cause ground-covering vegetation and/or roots and rootlets to become very hard and sharply pointed. In effect the ground cover, while appearing to be unchanged, acts as if the area were strewn with caltrops. In areas of bare ground or earthen pits, roots and rootlets will act in the same way. The area will radiate an aura of magic, but without the use of a spell such as Detect Magic, True Seeing, or similar magical aids, or some other special means of detection (such as Detect Traps), an area affected by Spike Growth is absolutely undetectable as such until a victim enters the area and takes damage. Even then, the creature will not be able to determine the extent of the perilous area unless some means of magical detection is used. For each 1" of movement through the area, a victim will incur 2 "attacks" from the spike growth. Hit probability is as if the caster of the spell were making an attack, and any successful hit causes 1-4 points of damage. Spells which control or harm vegetation, or a Dispel Magic spell, will negate the area of the dweomer. The components for this spell are mistletoe plus either seven sharp thorns or seven small twigs, each sharpened to a point.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is essentially the same as the 4th-level clerical spell of the same name, except as noted above, and with the following additional differences: The affected area will radiate an aura of magic, and a Detect Snares and Pits spell will reveal the location of the spike growth. The druid must use mistletoe as a material component [in place of the cleric's holy symbol] in addition to the seven small twigs or thorns.)

Starshine (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' square per level of caster Type: Evocation-Illusion Source: UA 43

Explanation/Description: A starshine spell enables the druid to softly illuminate an area as if it were exposed to a clear night sky filled with stars. Regardless of the height of the open area in which the spell is cast, the area immediately beneath it will be lit by starshine. Vision will be clear at up to 30', indistinct out to 60', and beyond that only gleams and glimmers will be discernible. The starshine allows shadows. It enhances ultravision to its full potential but does not affect infravision. The spell makes the area of effect actually appear to be a night sky, but disbelief of the illusion merely allows the disbeliever to note that the "stars" are actually evoked lights. The material components are several stalks from an amaryllis (especially Hypoxis) and several holly berries.

Stone Shape (Druid Level 3)

Components: V. S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Three cubic feet plus one cubic foot per level Type: Alteration Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid can form an existing piece of stone into a shape which will suit his or her purposes. For example, a stone weapon can be made, a special trapdoor fashioned, or an idol sculpted. By the same token, it would allow the spell caster to reshape a stone door, perhaps, so as to escape imprisonment providing the volume of stone involved was within the limits of the area of effect. While stone coffers can be thus formed, secret doors made, etc., the fineness of detail is not great. The material component of this spell is soft clay which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the stone object and then touched to the stone when the spell is uttered. The material component required is mistletoe.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is exactly the same as the fifth level magic-user spell, Stone Shape (q.v.), except as noted above and for the requirement of mistletoe as an additional component to enable a druid to cast the spell.)

Summon Insects (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: When a Summon Insects spell is cast by a druid, he or she attracts flying insects 70% of the time. The exact insects called will be bees, biting flies, hornets, or wasps if flying insects are indicated, or biting ants or pinching beetles if non-flying insects are determined. A cloud of the flying type, or a swarm of the crawling sort, will appear after the spell is cast. They will attack any creature the druid points to. The attacked creature will sustain 2 hit points of damage per melee round, and it can do nothing but attempt to fend off these insects during the time it is so attacked. The summoned insects can be caused to attack another opponent. but there will be at least a 1 round delay while they leave the former recipient and attack the new victim, and crawling insects can travel only about 12' per round (maximum speed over smooth ground). It is possible in underground situations that the druid could summon 1-4 giant ants by means of the spell, but the possibility is only 30% unless giant ants are nearby. The materials needed for this spell are mistletoe, a flower and a bit of mud or wet clay.

Tree (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 6 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Personal Type: Alteration Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to assume the form of a small living tree or shrub or that of a large dead tree trunk with but a few limbs. Although the closest inspection will not reveal that this plant is actually a druid, and for all normal tests he or she is, in fact, a tree or shrub, the druid is able to observe all that goes on around his or her person just as if he or she were in human form. The spell caster may remove the dweomer at any time he or she desires, instantly changing from plant to human form, and having full capability of undertaking any action normally possible to the druid. Note that all clothing and gear worn/carried change with the druid. The material components of this spell are mistletoe and a twig from a tree.

Water Breathing (Druid Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 58

Explanation/Description: The recipient of a Water Breathing spell is able to freely breathe underwater for the duration of the spell, i.e. 6 turns for each level of experience of the druid casting the spell. The reverse, Air Breathing, allows water breathing creatures to comfortably survive in the atmosphere for an equal duration.

DRUID LEVEL 4

Animal Summoning I (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4"/level Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid calls up to eight (8) animals of whatever sort the druid names when the summoning is made, if such type are within spell range. These animals can have no more than four hit dice (4HD) each. The animals summoned will aid the druid by whatever means they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the druid is safe, he or she sends them away, etc. The druid may try three times to summon three different sorts of animals, i.e. suppose that wild dogs are first summoned to no avail, then hawks are unsuccessfully called, and finally the druid calls for wild horses which may or may not be within summoning range. Your referee will determine probabilities if the presence of a summoned animal type is not known. Other than various sorts of giant animals, fantastic animals or monsters cannot be summoned by this spell, i.e. no chimerae, dragons, gorgons, manticores, etc.

Call Woodland Beings (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 12" + 1"/level Casting Time: Special Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to summon certain woodland creatures to his or her location. Naturally, this spell will only work outdoors, but not necessarily only in wooded areas. The druid begins the incantation, and the spell must be continued uninterrupted until some called creature appears or 2 turns have elapsed. (The verbalization and somatic gesturing are easy, so this is not particularly exhausting to the spell caster.) Only 1 type of the following sorts of beings can be summoned by the spell, and they will come only if they are within the range of the call:

• 2-8 brownies
• 1-4 satyrs
• 1-4 centaurs
• 1-6 sprites
• 1-4 dryads
• 1 treant
• 1-8 pixies
• 1 unicorn

(Your referee will consult his outdoor map or base the probability of any such creature being within spell range upon the nature of the area the druid is in at the time of spell casting.)

The creature(s) called by the spell are entitled to a saving throw versus magic (at -4) to avoid the summons. Any woodland being answering the call will be favorably disposed to the spell caster and give whatever aid it is capable of. However, if the caller or members of the caller's party are of evil alignment, the creatures are entitled to another saving throw versus magic (this time at +4) when they come within 1" of the druid or other evil character with him or her, and these beings will seek immediately to escape if the saving throw is successful. In any event, if the druid requests that the summoned creatures engage in combat on behalf of the druid, they are required to make a loyalty reaction score based on the druid's charisma and whatever dealings he or she has had with the called creature(s). The material components of this spell are a pine cone and 8 holly berries.

Control Temperature, 10' Radius (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 4 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 20' diameter sphere Type: Alteration Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by the druid, the temperature surrounding the druid can be altered by 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees C) per level of experience of the spell caster, either upwards or downwards. Thus, a 10th level druid could raise the surrounding temperature from 1 to 90 degrees (1-50 degrees C) or lower it by from 1 to 90 degrees (1-50 degrees C). The spell lasts for a number of turns equal to 4 plus the level of experience of the druid, i.e. when cast by a 10th level druid the spell persists for 14 turns.

Cure Serious Wounds (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the druid causes from 3 to 17 (2d8+1) hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Serious Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the cleric's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused serious wounds are 3 to 17 hit points of damage. This spell requires mistletoe as the material component.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the 4th level cleric Cure Serious Wounds spell (q.v.), with the exception of the fact that the spell requires the use of any sort of mistletoe.)

Dispel Magic (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4" cube Type: Abjuration Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: When a druid casts this spell, it neutralizes or negates the magic it comes in contact with as follows: A Dispel Magic will not affect a specially enchanted item such as a scroll, magic ring, wand, rod, staff, miscellaneous magic item, magic weapon, magic shield, or magic armor. It will destroy magic potions (they are treated as 12th level for purposes of this spell), remove spells cast upon persons or objects, or counter the casting of spells in the area of effect. The base chance for success of a Dispel Magic spell is 50%. For every level of experience of the character casting the Dispel Magic above that of the creature whose magic is to be dispelled (or above the efficiency level of the object from which the magic is issuing), the base chance increases by 5%, so that if there are 10 levels of difference, there is a 100% chance. For every level below the experience/efficiency level of the creature/object, the base chance is reduced by 2%. Note that this spell can be very effective when used upon charmed and similarly beguiled creatures. It is automatic in negating the spell caster's own magic.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the 3rd level cleric Dispel Magic spell (q.v.).)

Hallucinatory Forest (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4" square/level Type: Illusion/Phantasm Reversible Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: By casting this spell the druid causes the appearance of an hallucinatory forest to come into existence. The illusionary forest appears to be perfectly natural and is indistinguishable from a real forest. Other druids--as well as such creatures as centaurs, dryads, green dragons, nymphs, satyrs, and treants--will recognize the forest for what it is. All other creatures will believe it is there, and movement and order of march will be affected accordingly. The Hallucinatory Forest will remain until it is magically dispelled by a reverse of the spell or a Dispel Magic. The area shape is either rectangular or square, in general, at least 4" deep, and in whatever location the druid casting the spell desires. The forest can be of less than maximum area if the druid wishes. One of its edges will appear up to 8" away from the druid, according to the desire of the spell caster.

Hold Plant (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: The Hold Plant spell affects vegetable matter as follows: 1) it causes ambulatory vegetation to cease moving; 2) it prevents vegetable matter from entwining, grasping, closing. or growing; 3) it prevents vegetable matter from making any sound or movement which is not caused by wind. The spell effects apply to all forms of vegetation, including parasitic and fungoid types, and those magically animated or otherwise magically empowered. It affects such monsters as green slime, molds of any sort, shambling mounds. shriekers, treants, etc. The duration of a Hold Plant spell is 1 melee round per level of experience of the druid casting the spell. It affects from 1 to 4 plants--or from 4 to 16 square yards of small ground growth such as grass or mold. If but one plant (or 4 square yards) is chosen as the target for the spell by the druid, the saving throw of the plant (or area of plant growth) is made at a -4 on the die; if two plants (or 8 square yards) are the target, saving throws are at -2; if three plants (or 12 square yards) are the target, saving throws are at -1; and if the maximum of 4 plants (or 16 square yards of area) are the target, saving throws are normal.

Plant Door (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 59

Explanation/Description: The Plant Door spell opens a magical portal or passageway through trees, undergrowth, thickets, or any similar growth--even growth of a magical nature. The Plant Door is open only to the druid who cast the spell, druids of a higher level, or dryads. The door even enables the druid to enter into a solid tree trunk and remain hidden there until the spell ends. If the tree is cut down or burned, the druid must leave before the tree falls or is consumed, or else he or she is killed also. The duration of the spell is 1 turn per level of experience of the druid casting it. If the druid opts to stay within an oak, the spell lasts 9 times longer, if an ash tree it lasts 2 times as long. The path created by the spell is up to 4' wide, 8' high and 12'/level of experience of the druid long.

Produce Fire (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 12' square Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid causes a common-type fire of up to 12' per side in area boundary. While it lasts but a single round, the fire produced by the spell will cause 1-4 hit points of damage on creatures within its area; and it will ignite combustible materials such as cloth, oil, paper, parchment, wood and the like so as to cause continued burning. The reverse, Quench Fire will extinguish any normal fire (coals, oil, tallow, wax, wood, etc.) within the area of effect.

Protection From Lightning (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: The effect of a Protection From Lightning spell differs according to the recipient of the magic--the druid or some other creature. If the spell is cast upon the druid, it confers complete invulnerability to normal lightning and to exposure to magical lightning until an accumulation of 12 hit points of potential damage per level of experience of the druid has been absorbed by the Protection From Lightning spell, at which time the spell is negated. Otherwise the spell lasts for 1 turn per level of experience of the druid. If the spell is cast upon another creature, it gives invulnerability to normal lightning, gives a bonus of +4 on saving throw die rolls made versus fire attacks, and reduces damage sustained from magical lightning by 50%.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is exactly the same as the 3rd level Protection From Fire spell (q.v.) except that it applies to electrical/lightning attacks.)

Repel Insects (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' radius of the spell caster Type: Abjuration-Alteration Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast the druid creates an invisible barrier to all sorts of insects, and normal sorts will not approach within 10' of the druid while the spell is in effect although any giant insects with 2 or more hit dice will do so if they make a saving throw versus magic, and even those which do so will sustain 1-6 hit points of damage from the passing of the magical barrier. Note that the spell does not in any way affect arachnids, myriapods, and similar creatures--it affects only true insects. The material components of the Repel Insects spell are mistletoe and one of the following: several crushed marigold flowers, a whole crushed leek, 7 crushed stinging nettle leaves or a small lump of resin from a camphor tree.

Speak With Plants (Druid Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 2 rounds /level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 8" diameter circle Type: Alteration Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: When cast, a Speak With Plants spell enables the druid to converse, in very rudimentary terms, with all sorts of living vegetables. Thus, the druid 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 similar things. The spell does not enable the druid to animate non-ambulatory vegetation. The power of the spell lasts for 1 melee round for each level of experience of the druid who cast it. All vegetation within the area of effect are under command of the spell. The material components are typically druidic (mistletoe, etc).

(Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, and that the material component is that typically druidic (mistletoe, etc.), the spell is the same as the 4th level cleric spell Speak With Plants.)

DRUID LEVEL 5

Animal Growth (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Up to 8 animals in a 2" square area Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the druid causes all animals, up to a maximum of 8, within a 2" square area to grow to twice their normal size. The effects of this growth are doubled hit dice (with resultant improvement in attack potential) and doubled damage in combat. The spell lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the druid casting the spell. Note that the spell is particularly useful in conjunction with a Charm Person or Mammal or a Speak With Animals spell. The reverse reduces animal size by one half, and likewise reduces hit dice, attack damage, etc.

Animal Summoning II (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6"/level Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid calls up to six (6) animals of whatever sort the druid names when the summoning is made, if such type are within spell range. These animals can have no more than eight hit dice (8HD) each. Alternatively, the druid can call up to twelve (12) animals of no more than four hit dice (4HD) each. The animals summoned will aid the druid by whatever means they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the druid is safe, he or she sends them away, etc. The druid may try three times to summon three different sorts of animals, i.e. suppose that wild dogs are first summoned to no avail, then hawks are unsuccessfully called, and finally the druid calls for wild horses which may or may not be within summoning range. Your referee will determine probabilities if the presence of a summoned animal type is not known. Other than various sorts of giant animals, fantastic animals or monsters cannot be summoned by this spell, i.e. no chimerae, dragons, gorgons, manticores, etc.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same in duration and effect as the 4th level Animal Summoning I spell, except that up to six animals of no more than eight hit dice each can be called, or 12 animals of no more than four hit dice each can be called.)

Anti-Plant Shell (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 16' diameter hemisphere Type: Abjuration Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: The Anti-Plant Shell spell creates an invisible barrier which keeps out all creatures or missiles of living vegetable material. Thus, the druid (and any creatures within the shell) is protected from attacking plants or vegetable creatures such as shambling mounds or treants. The spell lasts for one turn per level of experience of the druid.

Commune With Nature (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the druid to become one with nature in the area, thus being empowered with knowledge of the surrounding territory. For each level of experience of the druid, he or she may "know" one fact, i.e. the ground ahead, left or right, the plants ahead, left or right, the minerals ahead, left or right, the water courses/bodies of water ahead, left or right, the people dwelling ahead, left or right, etc. The spell is effective only in outdoors settings, and operates in a radius of one half mile for each level of experience of the druid casting the Commune With Nature spell.

Control Winds (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4"/level radius hemisphere Type: Alteration Source: PH 60

Explanation/Description: By means of a Control Winds spell the druid is able to alter wind force in the area of effect. For every level of his or her experience, the druid is able to increase or decrease wind force by 3 miles per hour. Winds in excess of 30 miles per hour drive small flying creatures (those eagle-sized and under) from the skies and severely inhibit missile discharge. Winds in excess of 45 miles per hour drive even man-sized flying creatures from the skies. Winds in excess of 60 miles per hour drive all flying creatures from the skies and uproot trees of small size, knock down wooden structures, tear off roofs, etc. Winds in excess of 75 miles per hour are of hurricane force and cause devastation to all save the strongest stone constructions. A wind above 30 miles per hour makes sailing difficult, above 45 miles per hour causes minor ship damage, above 60 miles per hour endangers ships, and above 75 miles per hour sinks ships. There is an "eye" of 4" radius around the druid where the wind is calm. A higher level druid can use a Control Winds spell to counter the effects of a like spell cast by a lower level druid (cf. Control Weather). The spell remains in force for 1 turn for each level of experience of the druid casting it. Once the spell is cast, the wind force increases by 3 miles per hour per round until maximum speed is attained. When the spell is exhausted, the force of the wind diminishes at the same rate. Note that while the spell can be used in underground places, the "eye" will shrink in direct proportion to any confinement of the wind effect, i.e. if the area of effect is a 48" radius, and the confined space allows only a 46" radius, the "eye" will be 2" radius; and any space under 44" radius will completely eliminate the "eye" and subject the spell caster to the effects of the wind.

Insect Plague (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 32" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 32" diameter, 4" high cloud Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by the druid, a horde of creeping, hopping, and flying insects swarm in a thick cloud. These insects obscure vision, limiting it to 3". Creatures within the insect plague sustain 1 hit point of damage for each melee round they remain in it due to the bites and stings of the insects, regardless of armor class. The referee will cause all creatures with fewer than five hit dice to check morale. Creatures with two or fewer hit dice will automatically move at their fastest possible speed in a straight line in a random direction until they are not less than 24" distant from the cloud of insects. Creatures with fewer than five hit dice which fail their morale check will behave likewise. Heavy smoke will drive off insects within its bounds. Fire will also drive insects away; a Wall of Fire in a ring shape will keep the Insect Plague outside its confines, but a Fireball will simply clear insects from its blast area for 1 turn. Lightning and cold/ice act likewise. The plague lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the cleric casting the spell, and thereafter the insects disperse. The insects swarm in an area which centers around a summoning point determined by the spell caster, which point can be up to 36" distant from the cleric. The Insect Plague does not move thereafter for as long as it lasts. Note that the spell can be countered by casting a Dispel Magic upon the summoning point. A cube of force (a special magic item) would keep insects away from a character seeking the center of the swarm, but invisibility would afford no protection. The material components of this spell are mistletoe or the holly or oak leaves substitute.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, and other than the fact that the material component needed for the spell is mistletoe or the holly or oak leaves substitute, the spell is the same as the 5th level cleric Insect Plague spell (q.v.).)

Moonbeam (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" diameter sphere (plus special) Type: Evocation-Alteration Source: UA 44

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to cause a beam of soft, pale light to strike downward from overhead and illuminate whatever area he or she is pointing at. The light is exactly the same as moonlight, so that colors other than shades of black, gray, or white will not be determinable. The spell caster can easily cause the moonbeam to move to any area that he or she can see and point to. This makes the spell an effective way to spotlight something, for example an opponent. While the moonbeam allows shadows, a creature centered in a moonbeam spell is most certainly under observation. The reflected light from this spell allows dim visual perception 1 beyond the area of effect. The light does not adversely affect infravision, and enhances ultravision to its greatest potential. The material components are several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar (moonstone).

Pass Plant (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: By using this spell, a druid is able to enter a tree and move from inside it to another of the same type which lies in approximately the direction desired by the spell user and is within the range shown below:

The tree entered and that receiving the druid must be of the same type, living, and of girth at least equal to the druid. Note that if the druid enters a tree, suppose an ash, and wishes to pass north as far us possible (54"), but the only appropriate ash in range is south, the druid will pass to the ash in the south. The Pass Plant spell functions so that the movement takes only one segment (6 seconds) of a round. The druid may, at his or her option, remain within the receiving tree for a maximum of 1 round per level of experience. Otherwise, he or she may step forth immediately. Should no like tree be in range, the druid simply remains within the tree, does not pass elsewhere, and must step forth in the applicable number of rounds. (See Plant Door for effects of chopping or burning such a tree.)

Spike Stones (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 6 segments Duration: 3-12 turns + 1/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" square per level, 1 spike per 1' sq. Type: Alteration/Enhancement Source: UA 44

Explanation/Description: The Spike Stones spell causes rock to shape itself into long, sharp points which tend to blend into the background. It is effective on both natural rock and worked stone. The spike stones serve to impede progress through an area or actually inflict damage. If an area is carefully observed, each observer is 25% likely to notice the sharp points of rock. Otherwise, those entering the area of effect of the spell will suffer 1-4 points of damage from each spike stone that hits, success of such attacks determined as if the caster of the spell were actually engaging in combat. Those entering the area are subject to attack immediately upon setting foot in the area and upon each step taken therein afterward. The initial step will be sufficient to allow the individual to become aware of some problem only if the initial attack succeeds; otherwise movement will continue and the spike stones will remain unnoticed until damage occurs. Charging or running victims will suffer 2 attacks per 1 " of movement rate over the area of effect after initial damage is taken before being able to halt. Others will suffer but 1 additional attack-like check. Those falling into pits so affected by spike stones will suffer 6 such attack-like checks, each made at + 2 probability "to hit" for each 10' of distance fallen, and + 2 on damage inflicted per 10' distance fallen, spike damage being in addition to falling damage. The material component of this spell is four tiny stalactites.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is the same as the 5th-level clerical spell of the same name.)

Sticks to Snakes (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" cube Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to change 1 stick to a snake for each level of experience he or she has attained, i.e. a 9th level druid can change 9 sticks into 9 snakes. These snakes will attack as commanded by the druid. There must, of course, be sticks or similar pieces of wood (such as torches, spears, etc.) to turn into snakes. Note that magical items such as staves and spears which are enchanted are not affected by the spell. Only sticks within the area of effect will be changed. The probability of a snake thus changed being venomous is 5% per level of experience of the spell caster, so that there is a 55% probability of any given snake created by the spell being poisonous when sticks are turned to snakes by an 11th level druid, 60% at 12th level, etc. The effect lasts for 2 melee rounds for each level of experience of the spell caster. The material components of the spell are a small piece of bark and several snake scales. The reverse changes snakes to sticks for the duration appropriate, or it negates the Sticks To Snakes spell according to the level of the druid countering the spell, i.e. a 10th level druid casting the reverse spell can turn only 10 snakes back to sticks. The material component for this spell is typical for druids (mistletoe).

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, and for the fact that the material component of the spell is typical for druids, this is the same as the 4th level cleric Sticks To Snakes spell (q.v.).)

Transmute Rock to Mud (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2" cube/level Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: This spell turns natural rock of any sort into an equal volume of mud. The depth of the mud can never exceed one-half its length and/or breadth. If it is cast upon a rock, for example, the rock affected will collapse into mud. Creatures unable to levitate, fly, or otherwise free themselves from the mud will sink and suffocate, save for lightweight creatures which could normally pass across such ground. The mud will remain until a Dispel Magic spell or a reverse of this spell, Mud To Rock, restores its substance--but not necessarily its form. Evaporation will turn the mud to normal dirt, from 1 to 6 days per cubic 1" being required. The exact time depends on exposure to sun, wind and normal drainage. The Mud To Rock reverse will harden normal mud into soft stone (sandstone or similar mineral) permanently unless magically changed.

Wall of Fire (Druid Level 5)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: The Wall Of Fire spell brings forth a blazing curtain of magical fire of shimmering colour--yellow-green or amber in case of druidical magic. The Wall Of Fire inflicts 4 to 16 hit points of damage, plus 1 hit point of damage per level of the spell caster, upon any creature passing through it. Creatures within 1" of the wall take 2-8 hit points of damage, those within 2", take 1-4 hit points of damage. Creatures especially subject to fire may take additional damage, and undead always take twice normal damage. Only the side of the wall away from the spell caster will inflict damage. The opaque Wall Of Fire lasts for as long as the druid concentrates on maintaining it, or 1 round per level of experience of the druid in the event he or she does not wish to concentrate upon it. The spell creates a sheet of flame up to 2" square per level of the spell caster, or as a ring with a radius of up to 1/2" per level of experience from the druid to its flames, and a height of 2". The former is stationary, while the latter moves as the druid moves.

DRUID LEVEL 6

Animal Summoning III (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S. M Range: 8"/level Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid calls up to six (4) animals of whatever sort the druid names when the summoning is made, if such type are within spell range. These animals can have no more than sixteen hit dice (16HD) each. Alternatively, the druid can call up to eight (8) animals of no more than eight hit dice (8HD) each or sixteen (16) creatures of no more than four hit dice (4HD) each. The animals summoned will aid the druid by whatever means they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the druid is safe, he or she sends them away, etc. The druid may try three times to summon three different sorts of animals, i.e. suppose that wild dogs are first summoned to no avail, then hawks are unsuccessfully called, and finally the druid calls for wild horses which may or may not be within summoning range. Your referee will determine probabilities if the presence of a summoned animal type is not known. Other than various sorts of giant animals, fantastic animals or monsters cannot be summoned by this spell, i.e. no chimerae, dragons, gorgons, manticores, etc.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same in duration and effect as the 4th level Animal Summoning I spell except that up to 4 animals of no more than 16 hit dice each can be summoned, or eight of no more than 8 hit dice, or 16 creatures of no more than 4 hit dice each can be summoned.)

Anti-Animal Shell (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 20' diameter hemisphere Type: Abjuration Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: By casting this spell the druid brings into being a hemispherical force field which prevents the entrance of any sort of animal matter of normal (not magical) nature. Thus, a giant would be kept out, but undead could pass through the shell of force, as could such monsters as aerial servants, demons, devils, etc. The Anti-Animal Shell lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience the druid has attained.

Conjure Fire Elemental (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 6 rounds Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Reversible Source: PH 61

Explanation/Description: Upon casting a Conjure Fire Elemental spell, the druid opens a special gate to the Elemental Plane of Fire, and a strong fire elemental (see ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL) is summoned to the vicinity of the spell caster. It is 85% likely that a 16 die elemental will appear, 9% likely that 2 to 4 salamanders (q.v.) will come, a 4% chance exists that an efreeti (q.v.) will come, and a 2% chance exists that a huge fire elemental of 21 to 24 hit dice (d4 + 20) will appear. Because of the relationship of druids to natural and elemental forces, the conjuring druid need not fear that the elemental force summoned will turn on him or her, so concentration upon the activities of the fire elemental (or other creature, summoned) or the protection of a magic circle is not necessary. The elemental summoned will help the druid however possible, including attacking opponents of the druid. The fire elemental or other creature summoned remains for a maximum of 1 turn per level of the druid casting the spell--or until it is sent back by attack, a Dispel Magic spell or the reverse of the spell (Dismiss Fire Elemental). Only a druid can dismiss summoned salamanders, efreeti, or ultra-powerful elemental.

Cure Critical Wounds (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic Reversible Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: Upon laying his or her hand upon a creature, the druid causes from 6 to 27 (3d8+3) hit points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing will not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor will it cure wounds of creatures not living or those which can be harmed only by iron, silver, and/or magical weapons. Its reverse, Cause Critical Wounds, operates in the same manner; and if a person is avoiding this touch, a melee combat "to hit" die is rolled to determine if the cleric's hand strikes the opponent and causes such a wound. Note that cured wounds are permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage, and that caused wounds will heal--or can be cured--just as any normal injury will. Caused wounds are 6 to 27 hit points of damage. This spell requires mistletoe as the material component.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the 5th level cleric Cure Critical Wounds spell (q.v.), with the exception of the fact that the spell requires the use of any sort of mistletoe.)

Feeblemind (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: A spell which is solely for employment against those persons or creatures who use magic spells, Feeblemind causes the victim's brain to become that of a moronic child. The victim remains in this state until a Heal, Restoration or Wish spell is used to do away with the effects. The spell is of such a nature that the probability of it affecting the target creature is generally enhanced, i.e. saving throws are lowered.

Note that the spell has no material component.

Fire Seeds (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 1 round/seed Duration: Special Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: The spell of Fire Seeds creates special missiles or timed incendiaries which burn with great heat. The druid may hurl these seeds up to 4" or place them to ignite upon a command word. Acorns become fire seed missiles, while holly berries are used as the timed incendiaries. The spell creates up to four acorn fire seeds or eight holly berry fire seeds. The acorns burst upon striking their target, causing 2 to 16 hit points (2d8) of damage and igniting any combustible materials within a 1" diameter of the point of impact. Although the holly berries are too light to make effective missiles, they can be placed, or tossed up to 6' away, to burst into flame upon a word of command. The berries ignite causing 1 to 8 hit points (d8) of damage to any creature in a 1/2" diameter burst area, and their fire ignites combustibles in the burst area. The command range for holly berry fire seeds is 4". All fire seeds lose their power after the expiration of 1 turn per level of experience of the druid casting the spell, i.e. a 13th level druid has fire seeds which will remain potent for a maximum of 13 turns after their creation. Targets of acorn fire seeds must be struck by the missile. If a saving throw is made, creatures within the burst area take only one-half damage, but creatures struck directly always take full damage. Note that no mistletoe or other material components beyond acorns or holly berries are needed for this spell.

Liveoak (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S. M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One oak tree Type: Enchantment Source: UA 44

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the druid to select a healthy oak tree and cast a dweomer upon it so as to cause it to serve as a protector. The spell can be cast on but a single tree at a time, and while a Liveoak cast by a particular druid is in effect, he or she cannot cast another such spell. The tree upon which the dweomer is cast must be within 10 feet of the druid's dwelling place, within a place sacred to the druid, or within 10" of something which the druid wishes to guard or protect. The Liveoak spell can be cast upon a healthy tree of small, medium, or large size according to desire and availability. A "triggering" phrase of up to a maximum of one word per level of the spell caster is then placed upon the dweomered oak; for instance, "Attack any persons who come near without first saying 'sacred mistletoe'" is an 11-word trigger phrase that could be used by a druid of 11th or higher level casting the spell. The Liveoak triggers the tree into becoming a treant of appropriate size and attack capability, matching the specifications of the Monster Manual description, but with only a 3" movement rate. An oak enchanted by this spell will radiate a magic aura, and can be returned to normal by a successful casting of Dispel Magic or upon the desire of the druid who enchanted it. The druid needs mistletoe to cast this spell.

Transmute Water to Dust (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S. M Range: 6" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 1 cubic "/level Type: Alteration Reversible Source: UA 44

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the subject area instantly undergoes a change from liquid to powdery dust. Note that if the water is already muddy, the area of effect will be expanded to double normal, while if wet mud is concerned the area of effect will be quadrupled. If water remains in contact with the transmuted dust, the former will quickly permeate the latter,turning the dust into silty mud if a sufficient quantity of water exists to do so, otherwise soaking or dampening the dust accordingly.

Only liquid actually existing in the area of effect at the moment of spell casting is affected. Liquids which are only partially water will be affected insofar as the actual water is concerned, except that potions which contain water as a component part will be rendered useless. Living creatures are unaffected, except for those native to the Elemental Plane of Water. Such creatures receive a saving throw versus spell to escape the effect, and only one such creature can be affected by any single casting of this spell, regardless of the creature's size or the size of the spell's area of effect. The reverse of the spell is simply a very high-powered create water spell which requires a pinch of normal dust as an additional material component. For either usage of the spell, other components required are diamond dust of at least 500 gp value, a bit of seashell, and the druid's mistletoe.

Transport Via Plants (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid is able to enter any large plant and pass any distance to a plant of the same species in o single round regardless of the distance separating the two. The entry plant must be alive. The destination plant need not be familiar to the druid, but it also must be alive. If the druid is uncertain of the destination plant, he or she need merely determines direction and distance, and the Transport Via Plants spell will move him or her as near as possible to the desired location. There is a basic 20% chance, reduced 1% per level of experience of the druid, that the transport will deliver the druid to an allied species of plant from 1 to 100 miles removed from the desired destination plant. If a particular destination plant is desired, but the plant is not living, the spell fails, and the druid must come forth from the entrance plant within 24 hours. Harm to a plant housing a druid can affect the druid (cf. Plant Door).

Turn Wood (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 4 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 12" wide path, 2" long/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, waves of force roll forth from the druid, moving in the direction he or she faces, and causing all wooden objects in the path of the spell to be pushed away from the druid to the limit of the area of effect. Wooden objects above three inches diameter which are fixed firmly will not be affected, but loose objects (movable mantlets, siege towers, etc.) will move back. Objects under 3 inches diameter which are fixed will splinter and break and the pieces will move with the wave of force. Thus, objects such as wooden shields, spears, wooden weapon shafts and hafts, and arrows and bolts will be pushed back, dragging those carrying them with them; and if a spear is planted in order to prevent this forced movement, it will splinter. The Turn Wood spell lasts for 4 rounds per level of experience of the druid casting it, and the waves of force will continue to sweep down the set path for this period. The wooden objects in the area of effect are pushed back at a rate of 4" per melee round. The length of the path is 2" per level of the druid, i.e. a 14th level druid casts a Turn Wood spell with an area of effect 12" wide by 28" long, and the spell would last for 56 rounds (5.6 turns). As usual, the above assumes the druid is using greater mistletoe when casting the spell. Note that after casting the spell the path is set, and the druid may then do other things or go elsewhere without affecting the spell's power.

Wall Of Thorns (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10" cube/level Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 62

Explanation/Description: The Wall Of Thorns spell creates a barrier of very tough, pliable green angled brush bearing needle-sharp thorns as long as a person's finger. Any creature breaking through (or merely impacting upon) the Wall Of Thorns takes 8 hit points of damage plus an additional amount of hit points equal to the creature's armor class, i.e. 10 or fewer additional hit points of damage, with negative armor classes subtracting from the base 8 hit points of damage. Any creature within the area of effect of the spell when it is cast is considered to have impacted on the wall of thorns and in addition must break through to gain movement space. The damage is based on each 1" thickness of the barrier. If the Wall Of Thorns is chopped at, it will take at least 4 turns to cut a path through a 1" thickness. Normal fire will not harm the barrier, but magical fires will burn away the barrier in 2 turns with the effect of creating a wall of fire while doing so (see Wall Of Fire spell.) The nearest edge of the Wall Of Thorns appears up to 8" distant from the druid, as he or she desires. The spell lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the druid casting it, and covers an area of ten cubic inches per level of the caster in whatever form the caster desires. Thus a 14th level druid could create a Wall Of Thorns 7" long by 2" high (or deep) by)" deep (or high), a 1" high by 1" wide by 14" long wall to block a dungeon passage, or any other sort of shape that suited his or her needs.

Weather Summoning (Druid Level 6)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: The druidic Weather Summoning spell is similar to the Control Weather spell (q.v.) of clerical nature. By casting the spell, the druid calls forth weather commensurate with the climate and season of the area he or she is in at the time, Thus, in spring a tornado, thunderstorm, cold, sleet storm, or hot weather could be summoned. In summer a torrential rain, heat wave, hail storm, etc. can be called for. In autumn, hot or cold weather, fog, sleet, etc. could be summoned. Winter allows great cold, blizzard, or thaw conditions to be summoned. Hurricane-force winds can be summoned near coastal regions in the late winter or early spring. The summoned weather is not under the control of the druid. It might last but a single turn in the case of a tornado, or for hours or even days in other cases. The area of effect likewise varies from about 1 square mile to 100 or more square miles. Note that several druids can act in concert to greatly affect weather, controlling winds and/or working jointly to summon very extreme weather conditions. Within 4 turns after the spell is cast, the trend of the weather to come will be apparent, i.e., clearing skies, gusts of warm or hot air, a chill breeze, overcast skies, etc. Summoned weather will arrive 6 to 17 turns (d12 + 5) after the spell is cast. Anything less than greater mistletoe as the material component will sharply curtail the weather extremes desired.

DRUID LEVEL 7

Animate Rock (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2 cubic feet/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: By employing an Animate Rock spell, the druid causes a lithic object of a size up to that indicated to move (see Animate Object, the sixth level cleric spell.) The animated stone object must be separate, i.e. not a piece of a huge boulder or the like. It will follow the desire of the druid casting the spell--attacking, breaking objects, blocking--while the magic lasts. It has no intelligence nor volition of its own, but it follows instructions exactly as spoken. Note that only one set of instructions for one single action (the whole being simply worded and very brief--12 words or so), can be given to the rock animated. The rock remains animated for 1 melee round per level of experience of the spell caster, and the volume of rock which can be animated is also based on the experience level of the druid--2 cubic feet of stone per level, i.e. 24 cubic feet at the 12th level.

Changestaff (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: The druid's staff Type: Evocation-Enchantment Source: UA 44

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid is able to change his or her staff from a pole of dead wood into a treant of largest size. In order to cast the dweomer, the druid must first have located a tree struck by lightning within the past 24 hours (1%-5% chance for any given tree, depending on the severity of the storm). He or she must then select a sound limb, remove it from the tree, and prepare a specially cured section. This section must be shaped and carved so as to be ready to accept the magic which the druid will then place upon it. The staff must be of ash, oak, or yew wood. Curing by sun drying and special smoke requires 28 days. Shaping, carving, smoothing, and polishing require another 28 days. The druid cannot adventure or engage in other strenuous activity during either of these periods. The finished staff, engraved with scenes of woodland life, is then rubbed with the juice of holly berries, and the end of it is thrust into the earth of the druid's grove while he or she then speaks with plants, calling upon the staff to assist in time of need. The item is then charged with a dweomer which will last for many changes from staff to treant and back again.

While the staff/treant will initially be of largest size and greatest number of hit points, each 8 points of damage it accumulates actually reduces it my 1 hit die. The staff begins at 12 hit dice and 96 hit points, goes to 11 and 88, 10 and 80, 9 and 72, etc. As it loses hit dice, it becomes smaller in size, thus losing attack power as well. If and when the staff/treant is brought below 7 hit dice, the thing crumbles to sawdust-like powder and is lost. The staff cannot ever be brought upwards in hit dice or hit points, except by a wish (which restores it completely). Of course, a new staff can always be sought out, seasoned, and so forth, to begin the process anew.

When the druid plants the end of the staff in the ground and speaks a special command prayer and invocation, the staff turns into a treant. It can and will defend the druid, or obey him or her in any way. However, it is by no means a true treant, and it cannot converse with actual treants. The transformation lasts for as many turns as the druid has levels of experience, until the druid commands the thing to return to its true form, or until the thing is destroyed, whichever first occurs. In order to cast a Changestaff spell, the druid must have either mistletoe or leaves (ash, oak, or yew) of the same sort as the staff.

Chariot Of Sustarre (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 6 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by a druid, it brings forth a large flaming chariot pulled by two fiery horses which appear in a clap of thunder amidst cloud-like smoke. This vehicle moves at 24" on the ground, 48" flying, and it can carry the druid and up to 8 other man-sized creatures whom he or she first touches so as to enable these creatures to be able to ride aboard this burning transport. Creatures other than the druid and his or her designated passengers will sustain damage equal to that of a Wall Of Fire spell if they are within 5' of the horses or chariot, voluntarily or involuntarily. The druid controls the chariot by verbal command, causing the flaming steeds to stop or go, walk, trot, run or fly, turning left or right as he or she desires. Note that the Chariot Of Sustarre is a physical manifestation, and can sustain damage. The vehicle and steeds are struck only by magical weapons or by water, one quart of which will cause 1 hit point of damage), they are armor class 2, and each requires 30 hit points of damage to dispel. Naturally, fire has absolutely no effect upon either the vehicle or its steeds, but magical fires will affect the riders if they are exposed to them (other than those of the chariot itself}. In addition to mistletoe, the druid casting this spell must have a small piece of wood, 2 holly berries, and a fire source at least equal to a torch.

Confusion (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Up to 4" by 4" Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: This spell causes Confusion in one or more creatures within spell range. Confused creatures will react as follows:

The spell lasts for 1 melee round for each level of experience of the spell caster. It will affect 2 to 8 creatures, plus a possible additional number of creatures determined by subtracting the level or number of hit dice of the strongest opponent creature within the spell range and area of effect from the level of the druid who cast the spell of Confusion. If a positive number results, it is added to the random die roll result for number of creatures affected; a negative number is ignored. All creatures affected will be those closest to the druid within the area of effect. Each affected creature must make a saving throw each round, unless they are caused to "wander away for 1 turn" in which case they will go as far away from the druid as is possible in one turn of normal movement, as conditions permit. All saving throws are at -2. Confused creatures act according to the table of actions shown above, but saving throws and actions are checked at the beginning of each round.

Conjure Earth Elemental (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Reversible Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: When a druid casts a Conjure Earth Elemental spell, he or she summons an earth elemental of 16 hit dice to do the druid's bidding. Furthermore, the druid need but command it, and then do as he or she desires, for the elemental does not regard the druid who conjured it with enmity. The elemental remains until destroyed, dispelled, or sent away by dismissal (cf. Conjure Fire Elemental).

Control Weather (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 8-96 hours Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4-32 square miles Type: Alteration Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: The Control Weather spell allows a druid to change the weather in the area he or she is in at the time the spell is cast. (The caster can affect two places if greater mistletoe is used.) The spell will affect the weather for from 4 to 48 hours (4d12) in an area of from 4 to 16 square miles (4d4). It requires 1 turn to cast the spell, and an additional 1 to 4 (d4) turns for the effects of the weather to be felt. The Control Weather spell will not radically change the temperature, i.e. from below zero to a 100 degree temperature heat wave. The weather control possible depends upon the prevailing conditions:

All three aspects of the weather (clouds/precipitation, temperature, and wind) can be controlled, but only as shown. For example, a day which is clear, warm, and with light wind can be controlled to become hazy, hot, and calm. Contradictions are not possible--fog and strong wind, for example. Multiple Control Weather spells can be used only in succession. The material component for this spell is mistletoe. Obviously, this spell functions only in areas where there are appropriate climatic conditions.

(Original Explanation/Description: The druidic Control Weather spell is more powerful than the clerical spell of the same name (q.v.). The spell caster is able to change weather by two places from the prevailing conditions if greater mistletoe is used. It otherwise is the same as the 7th level cleric Control Weather spell.)

Creeping Doom (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 4 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 63

Explanation/Description: When the druid utters the spell of Creeping Doom, he or she calls forth a mass of from 500 to 1000 (d6 + 4) venomous, biting and stinging arachnids, insects and myriapods. This carpet-like mass will swarm in an area of 2" square, and upon command from the druid will creep forth at 1" per round towards any prey within 8", moving in the direction in which the druid commanded. The Creeping Doom will slay any creature subject to normal attacks, each of the small horrors inflicting 1 hit point of damage (each then dies after their attack), to that up to 1,000 hit points of damage can be inflicted on creatures within the path of the Creeping Doom. If the Creeping Doom goes beyond 8" of the summoner, it loses 50 of its number for each 1" beyond 8", i.e. at 10" its number has shrunk by 100. There are a number of ways to thwart or destroy the creatures forming the swarm, all of which methods should be obvious.

Finger Of Death (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: The Finger Of Death spell causes the victim's heart to stop. The druid utters the incantation, points his or her index finger at the creature to be slain, and unless the victim succeeds in making the appropriate saving throw, death occurs. A successful saving throw negates the spell.

Fire Storm (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 16" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 2" cube/level, minimum 16 cubic " Type: Evocation Reversible Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: When a Fire Storm spell is cast by a druid, a whole area is shot through with sheets of roaring flame which are equal to a Wall Of Fire (q.v.) in effect. Creatures within the area of fire and 1" or less from the edge of the affected area receive 2 to 16 hit points of damage plus additional hit points equal to the number of levels of experience of the druid unless they make a saving throw, in which case they take only one-half damage. The area of effect is equal to 2 cubic" per level of the druid, i.e. a 13th level druid can cast a Fire Storm which measures 13" by 2" by 1". The height of the storm is 1" or 2"; the balance of its area must be in length and width. The reverse spell, Fire Quench, smothers double the area of effect of a Fire Storm with respect to normal fires, and with respect to magical fires it has a 5% chance per level of the caster of extinguishing a magical fire (such as a Fire Storm) of proportions up to the normal area of effect of the non-reversed spell.

Reincarnate (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Person touched Type: Necromantic Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: Druids have the capability of bringing back the dead in another body if death occurred no more than a week before the casting of the spell. The person reincarnated will recall the majority of his or her former life and form, but the class they have, if any, in their new incarnation might be different indeed. Abilities and speech are likewise often changed. The table below gives the Reincarnation possibilities of this spell:

Any sort of player character can be reincarnated. If an elf gnome or human is indicated, the character must be created. When the corpse is touched, the new incarnation will appear in the area within 1 to 6 turns (cf. sixth level magic-user spell Reincarnation.)

Sunray (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 1" diameter sphere (plus special) Type: Evocation-Alteration Source: UA 45

Explanation/Description: When a Sunray spell is cast, the druid evokes a burning beam of light which is similar to a ray of actual sunlight in all important aspects. It inflicts blindness for 1-3 rounds upon all creatures within its area of effect unless a successful saving throw versus spell is made. Creatures using ultravision at the time may be blinded for 2-8 rounds, while those to whom sunlight is harmful or unnatural will suffer permanent blindness unless the save is made, in which case the blindness lasts for 2-12 rounds. Those within its area of effect, as well as creatures within 2" of its perimeter, will have no infravisual capabilities for 2-5 rounds.

Undead (including vampires) caught within its main area of effect must save versus spell, taking 8-48 points of damage or half damage if a save is made. Those within the secondary area of effect (up to 2" from the perimeter) take 3-18 points of damage or no damage if save is made. The ultraviolet light generated by the spell will inflict damage on fungoid creatures and subterranean fungi just as if they were undead, but no saving throw is possible. The material components are an aster seed and a piece of aventurine feldspar (sunstone).

Transmute Metal To Wood (Druid Level 7)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" Casting Time: 9 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One metal object Type: Alteration Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: The Transmute Metal To Wood spell allows the druid casting it to change an object from metal to wood. The volume of metal is equal to a maximum weight of 80 gold pieces per level of experience. Magical objects of metal are only 10% likely to be affected by the spell. Note that even a Dispel Magic spell will not reverse the spell effects. Thus, a metal door changed to wood would be forevermore a wooden door.

MAGIC-USER SPELLS

Notes regarding magic-user spells:

Magic-users employ a greater variety of material components than do other character classes employing spells, i.e. clerics and druids. Some of the required components will be difficult to find and/or expensive, but alternative spells can always be chosen.

The relatively short casting time for those spells with a material component assumes that the magic-user has decided upon which spell he or she will employ, and the material or materials needed are at hand in the numerous pockets and folds of the magic-user's garb. If this is not the case, there will be a delay commensurate to the situation. It has been recommended to the referee that actual time relate to the game time in such situations if at all possible. If it takes 6 seconds to decide on which spell to cast, 1 segment of the round is gone. Having to search through a pack to locate some component is as good as wasting 5 segments - 30 seconds.

Substitute materials might be allowed. This is up to your Dungeon Master. It should be noted that such substitution could affect spell range, duration, area of effect, effect, etc.

In general, reversible or multiple application spells require the magic-user to determine which form he or she is memorizing prior to the adventure. Consult your referee in this regard.

MAGIC-USER USEFUL CANTRIPS

Chill (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1' cube Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: A cantrip of this nature allows the caster to cause non-living liquid or solid material to become about 40° F. cooler than it was, subject to a minimum temperature of freezing. The chilling effect lasts for but an instant, after which the subject warms slowly back to normal temperature. Verbal component is a soft whistling, somatic is a downward-thrust thumb.

Clean (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 4 sq. yds Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Abjuration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to remove heavy soil, dirt, and like foreign objects from floors, walls, dishes, windows, etc. The subject surfaces are then spotless, but care must be taken in removal of pigments and the like, so usually only one type of material will be treated in a single application. Verbal component is a low outrush of air, somatic is a circular hand motion.

Color (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic yd. Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: By use of this cantrip, the caster brings color to an object. It can be used to restore faded hues or to tinge those already colored with a different hue. Thus, dull or faded fabric can be brightened, pigments restored, or even hair or skin changed to another color. The effect must be renewed every 30 days. Verbal component is a humming, somatic is a back-and-forth or wringing hand motion.

Dampen (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic yd. Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: When a cantrip of this sort is cast, the subject area is permeated by a fog-like dampness which leaves all material within it damp to the touch. It is useful for many sorts of things. It is hard on parchment, and it similarly makes it and like substances hard to set aflame. Those within the area of effect of the dampen cantrip will be enwrapped in a light fog, and objects in this fog, while still visible, will lose their detail. Verbal component is a low hooting or a hummed ditty, somatic is a hand gesture upwards with writhing fingers.

Dry (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic yd. Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Abjuration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip removes dampness and excess moisture from materials within the area of effect. It is useful for cloth, herbs, and cleaning chores. Verbal component is similar to that of the dampen cantrip, and the somatic is a two-handed wringing motion.

Dust (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 10' radius Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Abjuration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: A cantrip of this sort removes all fine dust and tiny grit particles from exposed surfaces such as floors, shelves, walls, etc. The material so removed is transported elsewhere, but new dust can accumulate, of course. Verbal component is a continuous in-drawing of breath, somatic is a back-and-forth hand motion.

Exterminate (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 small creature Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Abjuration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is used, the caster may kill a small pest such as a fly, mouse, rat, beetle, or the like. It is useful for indoor and outdoor applications. If the subject is very small, an area of up to 1/2 cubic foot can be rid of pests. This cantrip is effective against magical creations and normal-sized creatures magically shrunk to insect-size, but has no effect on polymorphed creatures and similarly enchanted beings. The somatic gesture is a pointed finger, while the caster verbalizes a low zzzt sound.

Flavor (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to give the subject a superior or better or different flavor. Thus, mush can be made to taste as if it were lobster bisque, but the dweomer will not actually affect quality or wholesomeness. Spoiled food remains spoiled; a poisoned drink would still be deadly (though any tell-tale taste of the poison may be masked in this fashion). The verbal component is a muttered lip-smacking sound; the somatic gesture is a shaking motion.

Freshen (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster brings new life or freshness to the object desired. The magic applies to food and drink items such as milk, beer, meat, and raw vegetables. It also works with cut vegetables, flowers, herbs, etc. Although it will remove a slight taint of spoilage, restore drooping flowers, and so on, it is not as effective as a purify food & drink spell, and it lasts for but an hour. The subject must be of relatively small size, i.e. a small cask of liquid, a sheep, a bushel of vegetables, etc. If used on a creature that is harmed by magics such as purify food & drink, the cantrip inflicts 1-4 points of damage. The verbal component is an mmmmmm sound, while the hand makes a mystic symbol with thumb and forefinger forming a circle and the other fingers upright and apart.

Gather (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 sq. yd. Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to neatly gather numerous small objects into a stack or pile. For instance, if nails, nuts, coins, papers, or like objects were spilled, the magic would bring them together. It can be used selectively, for instance to separate one type of material from another, but only the selected type would be gathered neatly. The caster verbalizes the type of material to be gathered while making a gathering motion.

Polish (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is used, the caster magically smooths and brings a luster to materials such as wood, metal, stone, leather, or ceramic. Naturally, the desired object must be relatively clean in order for the cantrip to be effective. The object affected must be of reasonable size--a floor of up to 1,000 square feet, an armoire, etc. It works better on smaller objects, of course, such as boots, mirrors, crystal containers, etc. The caster hums a ditty while making a buffing motion.

Salt (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One Object Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip causes a sprinkling of fine salt to magically appear and descend upon the desired object--a stew, some troublesome weed patch, or a barrel full of stock fish to be preserved. The object must be of a reasonable size--up to perhaps 4 square yards in area or about 30 gallons liquid volume. Care must be taken to avoid over-salting if the object involved is smaller, and if the object is larger, it will not receive much salt. Creatures adversely affected by sault (such as a giant slug) take 1-4 points of damage from this cantrip. The verbal component is a labial smacking, performed while the hand makes a sprinkling motion.

Shine (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: Similar to the polish cantrip, this magic allows the caster to remove tarnish, rust, corrosion, and similar substances from the desired object. This cantrip brings about a mirror-bright shine to objects capable of such, causing their surfaces to be smooth and unmarred. A piece of jewelry, for instance, would be made more attractive, and the gems (only) of such a piece might be actually made more valuable: If base value of the gem(s) in a piece of jewelry was originally decreased, and a shine cantrip is used upon the object, then the owner may (if desired) find out whether the value of the gem(s) has been changed. (The DM should roll again on the "Increase or Decrease of Worth Beyond Base Value" table on page 26 of the DMG, with a -1 modifier to the die roll.) No gem can be "re-valued" in this manner more than once. A single object up to about 1 cubic yard in volume can be treated by this cantrip. Its components are similar to those of polish.

Spice (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: Unlike the flavor cantrip, this magic actually brings a particular spice to the object of food or drink. Thus, ginger, pepper, and like spices can be brought to add zest (or disguise). Herbs such as bay leaf, garlic, parsley, and so forth can likewise be evoked by this cantrip. The quantity is sufficient to spice food or drink for about a dozen people. The spice (or herb) appears over the object vessel as a fine powder or flake, falls upon it, and adds its substance to the dish or drink. A ditty is hummed for the verbal component, while the hand makes a crumbling and sprinkling motion.

Sprout (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic yd. Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes acceleration in the growth of plants, particularly with respect to the germination of plant seeds. Upon its casting, the cantrip will cause seeds to shoot forth tiny sprouts, newly sprouted plants to grow an inch or so, buds to flower, etc. Fruits and vegetables can be caused to ripen (or actually go past ripening to spoilage) by this cantrip. A susurrant sound is verbalized while the caster's hand makes hoeing motions.

Stitch (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: Special Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip magically sews seams in cloth or leather. It will make new ones, or repair old work. About 20 yards of cloth can be thus stitched, but only about 2 yards of leather. The seam thus created is neither stronger nor weaker than a seam done without magic. Usually a brief rhyme is recited as the hand makes a sewing motion.

Sweeten (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip is the same as the spice cantrip, except that the result is the evocation of a sweetener--sugar, honey, or even a syrup. Components are a buzzing sound and a stirring motion.

Tie (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster can magically cause the object of the magic--thread, string, cord, rope, or even a cable--to tightly knot itself to either its other end or an end of a similar object within 1' of it. The resulting knot will be a normal one such as a square knot, half-hitch, running bowline, or whatever sort is desired. The caster verbalizes the name of the knot while holding up three fingers.

Warm (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1' cube Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip is the same as chill, except that the magic brings a warming of the liquid or solid. The temperature will rise at most about 40° F. The cantrip will never cause living creatures to become warmer than their normal body temperature. Components are an aah sound vocalized while the hands are rubbed briskly together.

Wrap (Magic-User Useful Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic yd. Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: When a wrap cantrip is employed, the caster creates a strong and sturdy wrapping around the subject desired--a bit of herbs, a heap of flour, a bundle of cloth, etc. The material of the cantrip is of a suitable type and thickness for the item(s) to be wrapped. Thus, a few ounces of fine powder will be contained in a waxy tissue, gem stones in a felt-like envelope, meal in cloth, and so forth. The wrapping can be undone normally, but the caster can just as easily order itto open, so the cantrip is often used to enfold the material components of a spell. The caster verbalizes a general class of wrapping desired while making folding motions with his hands.

MAGIC-USER REVERSED CANTRIPS

Curdle (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip is broader than its name, for it affects many food and drink items. The magic curdles milk and hastens spoilage or wilting, but does not putrefy food & drink as per that spell. It has a permanent effect on the object. It is otherwise similar to Freshen. The caster verbalizes a retching sound while pointing the thumb downward.

Dirty (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 4 sq. yds. Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: The opposite of a Clean cantrip, this enables the caster to soil, spot, and sully walls, floors, dishes, garments, etc. Verbal component is a spitting sound, made while the feet are shuffled and stamped.

Dusty (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 10' radius Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes a film of dust and grime to settle upon all exposed surfaces within the cantrip area of effect. The verbal component is a low humming sound, made while the hands move in shaking motions.

Hairy (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: While this cantrip is not actually one of the standard useful ones which apprentices reverse for mischievousness, it is one which is generally used for no good purpose. It causes hair, fur, or hairlike growth to thicken and lengthen. Thus, a head of hair, a peach, a beard, a cat, or whatever could be affected. The growth will cause the subject material to increase from 2-12 inches in length. The subject material must be trimmed or cut to remove the cantrip's effect. This cantrip can be reversed to shorten growth or effectively shave, but since the effect on short material (growth under 1 inch in length) is complete absence of growth for 2-12 days, it is not often used. The caster verbalizes snicking sounds while making massaging motions for growth, or scissoring motions for removal.

Knot (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip is a permutation of the tie cantrip. It causes the thread, string, cord, or rope to knot itself in such a manner as to be very difficult to untie, and from 2-8 rounds, minus dexterity bonus for reaction of the individual untying the knot, to undo. It works even on material already affected by a Tie cantrip, but not on magical ropes, ropes being held onto by a character or creature, or taut lines such as a bowstring. The caster verbalizes a low zzzz sound while moving the arm forward with a strong wrist motion.

Ravel (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: Special Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This cantrip is the reverse of a Stitch. It will work only if there is a loose or broken thread in the seam or fabric to be affected, except for material magically stitched by the appropriate cantrip. When the latter sort of seam or material is involved, the ravel cantrip will always work except in a case where the subject is otherwise magical, i.e. a bag of holding, a cloak of protection, boots of elvenkind, etc. The name of the cantrip is verbalized while the fingers make a plucking motion.

Sour (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is used, the caster causes the subject food or drink to take on a sour taste, not unlike vinegar of the appropriate sort. While it is typically used to spoil wine, beer, or some pastry, the sour cantrip can be used to useful purpose. The magic actually causes about a pint (maximum) of vinegar to appear over the subject. This can be an empty container in which such liquid is desired. The caster purses the lips and makes a whoosh sound while clenching the hand.

Spill (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One container Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: The opposite of a Gather cantrip, this enables the caster to cause the contents of a container to spill out. The object container is actually tipped by the cantrip, and since the magic is not powerful, containers of more than about gallon size, or magical ones, will not be affected by the cantrip. Solids and/or liquids within the object container will spill out, if the container is not securely closed or capped. To bring about the magic, the caster verbalizes an uh-oh sound while making an abrupt hand motion.

Tangle (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: A permutation of the Tie cantrip, this magic allows the caster to cause fine material such as thread, hair, small grass, and the like to become twisted and entwined in a tangle. It will not work on heavy material such as rope. Untangling subject material will take 3-12 rounds, unless it is roughly done--and the material is broken and snapped in the process, torn loose, etc. The cantrip will tangle mixed materials such as grass and string, hair and threads, and so forth. A buzzing is verbalized while the finger makes a stirring motion.

Tarnish (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: The reverse of a Shine cantrip, this causes a covering of rust, corrosion, verdigris, or the like to cover an object normally subject to such tarnishing. The object must be of about 1 cubic yard or less in volume. Verbal component is a spitting sound, while the hand makes a sprinkling motion.

Untie (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA

Explanation/Description: This permutation of a Tie cantrip is simply the reverse of the magic. The caster selects an object--thread, string, cord, etc.--which is knotted or tied. The cantrip removes the knot or tying. Note that the Untie cantrip will cause a tangle to be nullified. The cantrip will not remove both a knot and a normal tying (normal knot or one caused by a tie cantrip), but it will cause the former to disappear so that only a normal tying remains. This cantrip has no effect on magical objects. Somatic and verbal components vary according to the desired result. In general, a popping sound is made while the hands are moved apart--either as if a knot were being untied or a cord snapped.

Wilt (Magic-User Reversed Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA

Explanation/Description: A reverse of the Freshen cantrip which affects only vegetable material--whether growing or picked. Thus, a plant can be made to wilt (or possibly wither if it is not very healthy), or a bunch of cut flowers sag or droop. Verbal component is a descending hum, while the forefinger is slowly curled from an upright position.

MAGIC-USER LEGERDEMAIN CANTRIPS

Change (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA 48

Explanation/Description: By means of a Change cantrip, the caster alters one small object to another, although the change must be within the same kingdom, and only animal and vegetable objects are affected. Thus, a piece of parchment can be changed to a brightly colored cloth square, then the cloth can be changed to a rose by another use of the cantrip. Likewise, a bird can be changed into a bat, the bat to a flying squirrel by another use of the same type of cantrip, and so forth. Each change requires a Change cantrip. The cantrip will not cause more than a 50% incease or decrease in size/volume, and the effect will last for a base time of 1 turn. If the change is radical, then the time will be reduced accordingly; i.e., changing a dead object to a live one is a radical change and will last only 1 round. On the other hand, a very slight alteration such as color change or the like will last for l or more days. A saving throw against this magic does not apply as long as small, animal-intelligence, non-magical creatures of normal sort are concerned. Typically, a magic word is verbalized while the hand makes a pass over the object to be affected.

Distract (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: Special Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA 48

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes all who are watching to look at an area of the caster's choice. The area must be to the right or left of the caster, and the distraction must be within 10feet of the caster. Thus, the caster can cause viewers to watch his or her right hand and a location a few feet distant where the caster's finger is pointing, while the caster's left hand does something unnoticed. Saving throws apply only to individuals above 0 level, or with at least 1 + 1 hit dice and an intelligence rating of greater than low. The Distract cantrip has a duration of only 1 segment. The caster speaks an attention-getting word or phrase and gestures to the left or right to effectuate the cantrip.

Hide (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Illusion Source: UA 48

Explanation/Description: This cantrip allows the caster to magically Hide an object of virtually any size for a short period of time. The cantrip casts a dweomer over the desired object so that it becomes invisible to all who are in front of the caster. Note that the magic does not affect sound, so that if a crowing rooster were made to seemingly disappear, the noise of its cry would still be heard. Likewise, if an elephant were hidden by the cantrip, the sound of its tread, trumpeting, or even breathing might be heard. The dweomer will not work if viewers are beside or behind the caster. The cantrip lasts for 1 turn on an object of 2cubic yards or less in volume. The duration is reduced by 1 round for every additional 2 cubic yards of volume made to seemingly disappear, until at 20cubic yards of volume, the duration is 1 round. At over 20cubic yards of volume, duration is reduced by 1 segment per 2 additional cubic yards; i.e., the hide cantrip will have a duration of 9 segments if cast on an object of 22 cubic yards volume; 8 segments for 24 cubic yards, 7 segments for 26,6 for 28,5 for 30,4for 32,3for 34,2for 36,and 1 segment for 38 cubic yards. Anything over 38 cubic yards in volume will at best momentarily disappear and then reappear again. Verbal component is an activating word such as abracadabra while the hand makes a pass across the forepart of the object. The caster can dispel the cantrip simply by speaking the activating word.

Mute (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One object Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA 48

Explanation/Description: The Mute cantrip allows the caster to alter the shape of small objects of a mineral nature. The magic is effective against glass, metal, stone, etc. A plane can be altered to a rod, a torus to a sphere, etc. Thus, a coin could be changed to be a ring. Similarly, glass could be changed to crystal, lead to silver, copper to gold, etc. However, the dweomers of magical items are too strong for this cantrip to affect them. The duration of the mute is but 1 round. If another individual actually touches the object affected, the dweomer of the cantrip might be affected: The individual touching it makes a saving throw versus spell, and if it succeeds the cantrip is dispelled. The components for the Mute cantrip are similar to those of a Change cantrip.

Palm (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One small item Casting Time: 1/10 segment segment Type: Illusion Source: UA 48

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to secret a small object in his hand without seeming to do so. The dweomer creates an illusory duplicate of the object to be palmed, so that the other can be taken while under a form of Hide cantrip (which actually works regardless of viewer position). The illusory duplicate of the palmed object lasts but 1 segment, so it must be covered or screened from view, or else any onlookers will see it wink out of existence. A special word is spoken while a digit points at the object to be palmed. The caster may then pick up the now-invisible actual object while seemingly only touching or handling the illusory duplicate.

Present (Magic-User Legerdemain Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One small item Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: A Present cantrip enables the caster to bring any small object or series of objects from within a 2-foot radius of his or her person to his or her hand. The object or objects will appear magically in the caster's hand as he or she puts the hand upward or outward with a flourish and speaks the key word to begin the dweomer. If an object as large as a tankard is thus presented, the cantrip will be exhausted, but as many as a dozen coins could be brought to the hand before the dweomer failed. The caster must know the exact nature and location of the object or objects to be presented. If they are on the person of another individual, a saving throw versus spell applies to the individual, unless the object or objects are in plain sight.

MAGIC-USER PERSON-AFFECTING CANTRIPS

Belch (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is cast, the subject will involuntarily belch. A saving throw is applicable only to see how loud or muffled the burping is, failure indicating a very loud belch, success meaning that the sound is relatively low and muffled. The verbal component is an almost inaudible belch, done at the same time that the caster's hand presses his or her diaphragm.

Blink (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes the subject person (or creature) to blink his, her, or its eye or eyes. The blinking reaction is only momentary,of course, lasting no more than half a second. A successful saving throw indicates only a single eye wink, or no effect for one-eyed creatures. The verbal component is a softly spoken magical word (such as hat-cha-cha), voiced while the caster snaps his fingers.

Cough (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to make the subject individual cough spasmodically. If a saving throw is made, the cough is only a brief hacking which will not usually disturb other activities. Failing the saving throw indicates the victim is affected by a loud and active series of coughs lasting from 1 to 3 seconds. The somatic component is a gagging gesture while a gasp is verbalized.

Giggle (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Charm Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes the subject individual to involuntarily giggle. The loudness and length of this reaction depend on the saving throw. If the subject fails to save, the result will be a chuckle or giggle lasting about 2 or 3 seconds. If the save succeeds, only a brief chuckle will be caused. The verbal component is a single word or phrase (known in magical circles as a "punch line") to be spoken while one finger is moved back and forth rapidly.

Nod (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: This cantrip causes the subject to give an involuntary nod of the head due to muscle contraction. The effect is as if the subject were nodding in agreement or as a greeting. A successful saving throw negates the effect. The caster gives a slight nod of the head while pointing his or her small finger at the subject.

Scratch (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One creature Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: A Scratch cantrip causes the subject creature to experience an annoying itch on some portion of the body. Unless a saving throw is successful, the subject will involuntarily scratch at this itch. This, scratchingwill take but a second, and will immediately cause the itch to cease. Verbal component is the name of some body pest (flea, louse, etc.), uttered while the area of the itch is pointed to.

Sneeze (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One creature Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: A cantrip of this nature causes an irritation in the nasal passages of the subject. Unless the subject makes a successful saving throw versus spell, a sneeze will occur. This single sneeze will relieve the irritation. The caster verbalizes the name of an irritant substance while touching his or her nose.

Twitch (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One creature Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes a muscle contraction in some portion of the subject creature's appendages--head, neck, hand, arm, foot, leg, etc. The twitch will be noticeable, but will not cause the subject great discomfort or loss of control or concentration. The cantrip is negated by a successful saving throw. Verbal component is the name of the area to be affected while the caster gazes at the area and makes a twitching motion with the hand.

Wink (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One person Casting Time: 1/10 segment Type: Enchantment Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to cause the subject individual to wink one eye. A saving throw indicates that the winking is rapid and not greatly noticeable, while failure to save indicates a greatly exaggerated, prolonged winking. The caster speaks a magical phrase (such as twenty-three skidoo) while making an imperceptible winking of his or her eye.

Yawn (Magic-User Person-Affecting Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One creature Casting Time: 1/6 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 49

Explanation/Description: A Yawn cantrip makesthe subject creature feel a brief wave of drowsiness which in turn evokes a yawn reaction. If a saving throw versus spell succeeds, the subject creature is totally unaffected by the dweomer of the cantrip. Failure, however, not only forces a yawn to immediately occur, but the subject is then more susceptible to a Sleep spell. During the balance of the round in which the Yawn cantrip was cast, and during the whole of the following round, the subject will automatically fall into comatose slumber from a Sleep spell cast upon it, so 1 additional creature will be vulnerable to the spell if more than 1 creature of 4 or fewer hit dice are subjected to the spell. Further, if creatures of 4 + 1 to 4 + 4 hit dice are involved, there is then a chance that two such creatures will actually be affected by Sleep. Even a creature of up to 5 + 2 hit dice can be affected by Sleep if previously victimized by a Yawn cantrip, but the effect of the Sleep spell is rolled for as if the creature had 4 + 1 to 4 + 4 hit dice; i.e., there is a 50% chance that it will not be affected. The caster hums a lullaby for the verbal component while making a rocking motion with cupped hands.

MAGIC-USER PERSONAL CANTRIPS

Bee (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One bee Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Summoning Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is used, the caster summons a honey bee from someplace--where is of no importance, for the creature appears in seconds. The bee will appear in whatever spot the caster is gazing at, up to 1" distance from him or her. The bee is, of course, annoyed, and it is 90% likely to sting any living creature it finds itself upon. (This will certainly cause the subject to react violently if it would otherwise be so affected by a bee sting.) The verbal component is a low buzzing sound, made while the caster moves a forefinger through flight-like passes.

Bluelight (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1/4" diam. sphere Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Conjuration Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to conjure a small sphere of glowing blue radiance. The light has an eerie effect when seen from a distance, but the 3-inch sphere only illuminates an area of 5' around itself. Furthermore, the bluelight does not cast reflections beyond this radius. The light does not affect either infravision or ultravision. When the caster says a rhyme using the words blue and light in any combination, the bluelight appears in his or her open palm and remains aglow until the caster ceases to concentrate on it.

Bug (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One bug Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Summoning Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: A variation of the Bee cantrip, the Bug cantrip enables the caster to summon some form of crawling insect. The beetle or bug appears in the same manner as the bee summoned by the cantrip of that name. It will likewise be irritated and will pinch, bite, or otherwise attack the creature it might find itself upon, with appropriate results. Verbal component is the name of the insect desired while the caster's forefinger makes a sliding and pointing motion at the desired area of the bug's appearance (up to 1" distant).

Firefinger (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1/2' line Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Alteration Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: The Firefinger cantrip enables the caster to cause a jet of flame up to one-half foot in lengthto shoot forth from his or her finger. The flame is very hot and will ignite combustible materials such as parchment, twigs, kindling, and the like without difficulty, providing the materials are relatively dry. The flame persists for up to 1 segment. To bring about the magic of this cantrip, the caster speaks a word of power over elemental fire (such as ron-son, zip-po, or the much revered word, dun-hill), extends the forefinger, and makes a sideways motion with the thumb.

Gnats (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Summoning Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: A cantrip of this nature is similar to the Bee and Bug cantrips described above, except that when it is used a cloud of gnats is summoned. The swarm will immediately proceed to fly around the head of the nearest living creature (which must be no more than 1" from the caster), and unless this creature makes a successful saving throw versus poison, the cloud of gnats will distract the creature for from 1-4 segments before the gnats fly elsewhere. The verbal component is a high-pitched buzzing sound made with the tongue and upper palate while the caster points a digit at the area in which the gnat cloud is to appear.

Mouse (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One mouse Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Summoning Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: Similar to the cantrip which summons a bee or a bug, the Mouse cantrip enables the caster to bring forth a mouse up to 1" from his or her position. The animal will be a typical field mouse or as similar a species as possible. When it arrives, the caster will have no control over the mouse, and the animal will behave as would any mouse in the given situation. The caster speaks a summoning word (typically the name of a food desirable by mice) while holding his or her hands in such a way as to resemble mouse ears.

Smokepuff (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: 1' diam. cloud Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Evocation Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: When this cantrip is employed, a puff of actual smoke appears in the desired location, up to 1" distant from the caster, and will ascend as would a normal cloud of smoke, or be dissipated, depending on the prevailing conditions. The caster can cause the smoke to be either white, gray, black, brown, yellow, or green. The caster names the color of smoke desired while moving a hand from an extended horizontal position to a vertical one, meanwhile breathing forth a puff of air.

Spider (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One spider Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Summoning Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: This cantrip, much as does a bee or bug or mouse or gnats cantrip, summons a small, ordinary spider from elsewhere to the location desired by the caster, up to l "distant from his or her person. The arachnid so summoned will usually be a common garden spider or the like, no larger than an inch or two in diameter, and basically harmless. There is a 5% chance that the creature will turn out to be one with powerful poison (black widow, brown recluse, etc.). Since the spider summoned will be annoyed, the creature upon which it finds itself, if such is the case, will be subject to an immediate bite attack. This will have only a momentary effect, distracting the victim for 1 segment, for a normal spider. If the spider is of the very poisonous sort, the victim must also make a saving throw versus poison at + 4. Success indicates 1 point of damage is inflicted. Failure indicates 2 points of damage are inflicted, and the victim will feel sick and be unable to act normally for 1-4 days unless a Neutralize Poison spell is cast to remove the toxin. (A Slow Poison will defer the sickness for 1 day.) To cast the cantrip, the caster speaks the word arachnidwhile spreading his or her fingers and wiggling them.

Tweak (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One creature Casting Time: 1/3 segment Type: Conjuration Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: By means of this cantrip, the caster causes an unseen thumb and forefinger to harmlessly, but annoyingly,tweak some portion of a chosen subject within a 1" radius of the caster. Portions subject to the Tweak cantrip are: cheek, nose, ear, beard, moustache, whiskers, or tail. The cantrip's effects do not disturb spell casting, although the tweaking might distract any creature by causing it to turn to discover the source of the annoyance. A failure to save versus spell (with respect to creatures with an intelligence under 7), or failure to roll a score greater than intelligence on 3d6 (with respect to creatures with intelligence of 7 or greater), indicates a 1-segment distraction. The caster speaks a magic phrase (such as kitchy-kitchy-coo) while making a pinching and pulling motion with thumb and forefinger.

Unlock (Magic-User Personal Cantrip)

Area of Effect: One lock Casting Time: 1/2 segment Type: Conjuration Source: UA 50

Explanation/Description: This cantrip enables the caster to conjure an invisible, key-like force appropriate to the locking mechanism to be opened (or closed). The Unlock cantrip will affect only simple locks of the most basic sort--typically those which have closing pressure prongs or bolt and pins, or bolt and spring closures. Locks with tumblers or levers, as well as secret-combination locks, are not subject to this cantrip. Note that simple locks with complex wards to prevent skeleton-key triggering will be subject to an Unlock cantrip. While the caster speaks a word or phrase associated with locks (tick-tock-doublelock or yah-el, etc.) he or she makes a twisting motion with fingers held as if to grasp a key.

MAGIC-USER LEVEL 1

Affect Normal Fires (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 1/2"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1' diameter fire Type: Alteration Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the magic-user to cause small fires--from as small as a torch or lantern to as large as a normal bonfire of 3' maximum diameter--to reduce in size and light to become match-like or increase in light so as to become as bright as a light spell. Reducing the fire will cut fuel consumption to half normal, and increasing the fire will double consumption. Note that heat output is not altered in either case!

Alarm (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 2-8 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Up to 20 sq. ft./level Type: Evocation Source: UA 51

Explanation/Description: When an Alarm spell is cast, the magic-user causes a selected area to react to the presence of any living creature larger than a normal rat, i.e. anything larger than about one-half cubic foot in volume or more than about 3 pounds in weight. The area of effect can be a portal, a section of floor, stairs, etc. As soon as any living creature sets foot upon the area, touches it, or otherwise contacts it, the Alarm spell will evoke a loud ringing which will be clearly heard within a 60' radius. (Reducethe radius by 10' for interposingdoors, by 20' for substantialinterposingwalls.) The sound will last for 1 segment and then cease. While undead creatures will not cause the spell to function, invisible creatures, as well as those from other planes who are otherwise alive, will do so. Ethereal or astrally-projected creatures will not trigger an alarm, but flying and levitating creatures will. The material components of this spell are a tiny bell and a piece of very fine silver wire.

Armor (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Conjuration Source: UA 51

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster creates a magical field of force which serves as if it were leather armor (AC 8). If the spell is cast upon a person already armored, it has no effect. However, if it is cast upon a creature with an armor class normally better than 9 (due to its size, speed, skin, etc.) it will benefit the normal armor class by one step, i.e. AC 8 becomes 7, AC 7 becomes 6, and so on. The magic Armor spell does not slow or hinder movement, adds no weight or encumbrance, nor does it prevent spell casting. It lasts until dispelled or until the wearer sustains cumulative damage totaling greater than 8 points + 1 per level of the caster. Thus, the wearer might take 8 points from an attack, then several turns later sustain an additional 1 point of damage. Unless the spell were cast by a magic-user of 2nd level or higher, it would be dispelled at this time. Until it is dispelled, the armor spell allows the wearer full benefits of the armor class gained due to the dweomer.

Note: This spell will not function in conjunction with protective magic devices other than a ring of protection. The material component is a piece of finely cured leather which has been blessed by a cleric.

Burning Hands (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 64

Explanation/Description: When the magic-user casts this spell, jets of searing flame shoot from his or her fingertips. Hands can only be held so as to send forth a fan-like sheet of flames, as the magic-user's thumbs must touch each other and fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of 3' length in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the magic-user. Any creature in the area of flames takes 1 hit point of damage for each level of experience of the spell caster, and no saving throw is possible. Inflammable materials touched by the fire will burn, i.e. cloth, paper, parchment, thin wood, etc.

Charm Person (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One person Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: This spell will affect any single person it is cast upon. The person then will regard the magic-user who cast the spell as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The spell does not enable the magic-user to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but any word or action of the magic-user will be viewed in its most favorable way. Thus, a charmed person would not obey a suicide command, but might believe the magic-user if assured that the only chance to save the magic-user's life is if the person holds back an onrushing red dragon for "just a round or two". Note also that the spell does not empower the magic-user with linguistic capabilities beyond those he or she normally possesses. The duration of the spell is a function of the charmed person's intelligence, and it is tied to the saving throw. The spell may be broken if a saving throw is made, and this saving throw is checked on a periodic basis according to the person's intelligence:

If the magic-user harms, or attempts to harm, the charmed person by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic (q.v.) is successfully cast upon the charmed person, the charm will be broken automatically. The term person includes brownies, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, and troglodytes. If the recipient of the Charm Person spell makes its saving throw versus the spell, its effect is negated.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as shown above, this spell is the same as the second level druid spell, Charm Person Or Mammal (q.v.), but the magic-user can charm only persons, i.e. brownies, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, and troglodytes. All other comments regarding spell effects apply with respect to persons.)

Comprehend Languages (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One written object or speaking creature Type: Alteration Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able to read an otherwise incomprehensible written message such as a treasure map (but not a magical writing, other than to know it is "magic") or understand the language of a speaking creature. In either case, the magic-user must touch the object to be read or the creature to be understood, and the spell does not enable the spell caster to write or speak the language. The material components of this spell are a pinch of soot and a few grains of salt. The reverse, Confuse Languages, prevents comprehension or cancels a Comprehend Languages spell.

Dancing Lights (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: When a dancing lights spell is cast, the magic-user creates, at his or her option, from 1 to 4 lights which resemble either A) torches and/or lanterns (and cast that amount of light), B) glowing spheres of light (such as evidenced by will-o-wisps), or C) one faintly glowing, vaguely man-like shape, somewhat similar to that of a creature from the Elemental Plane of Fire. The Dancing Lights move as the spell caster desires, forward or back, straight or turning corners, without concentration upon such movement by the magic-user. The spell will wink out if the range or duration is exceeded. Range is a base of 4" plus 1" for each level of the magic-user who cast the spell. Duration is 2 melee rounds per level of the spell caster. The material component of this spell is either a bit of phosphorus or wytchwood or a glowworm.

Detect Magic (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 6" long Type: Divination Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: When the Detect Magic spell is cast, the magic-user detects magical radiations in a path 1" wide, and up to 6" long, in the direction he or she is facing. The caster can turn 60 degrees per round. Note that stone walls of 1' or more thickness, solid metal of but 1/12' thickness, or 3' or more of solid wood will black the spell.

(Original Explanation/Description: The only differences between this spell and the first level cleric Detect Magic spell are noted above (duration, area of effect, and no material component).)

Enlarge (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1/2"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: This spell causes instant growth of a creature or object. Enlargement causes increase in both size and weight. It can be cast upon only a single creature or object. Spell range is 1/2" for each level of experience of the magic-user, and its duration is 1 turn per level of power experience of the spell caster. The effect of the enlargement spell is to increase the size of a living creature (or a symbiotic or community entity) by 20% per level of experience of the magic-user, with a maximum additional growth of 200%. The effect on objects is one-half that of creatures, i.e. 10% per level to a 100% maximum additional enlargement. The creature or object must be seen in order to effect the spell. The maximum volume of living material which can be initially affected is 10 cubic feet--for non-living matter, 5 cubic feet--per level of the magic-user. While magical properties are not increased by this spell--a huge +1 sword is still only +1, a staff- sized wand is still only capable of its normal functions, a giant-sized potion merely requires a greater fluid intake to make its magical effects operate, etc.--weight, mass and strength are. Thus, a table blocking a door would be heavier and more effective; a hurled stone would have more mass (and be more hurtful providing enlargement took place just prior to impact): chains would be more massive; doors thicker; a thin line turned to a sizable, longer rope; and so on. Likewise, a person 12' tall would be as an ogre, while an 18' tall person would actually be a giant for the duration of the spell. The reverse spell, Reduce, will negate the effects or actually make creatures or objects smaller in the tame ratios as the regular spell application functions. Unwilling victims of the spell. or its reverse, are entitled to a saving throw, which, if successful, indicates the magic does not function, and the spell is wasted. The material component of this spell is a pinch of powdered iron.

Erase (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One scroll or two facing pages Type: Alteration Source: PH 65

Explanation/Description: The Erase spell removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or one or two pages or sheets of paper, parchment or similar surfaces. It will not remove Explosive Runes or a Symbol (see these spells hereafter), however. There is a basic chance of 50%, plus 2% per level of experience of the spell caster with respect to magical writings, plus 4% per level for mundane writing, that the spell will take effect. This represents the saving throw, and any percentile dice score in excess of the adjusted percentage chance means the spell fails.

Feather Fall (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 1/10 segment Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 66

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the creature(s) or object(s) affected immediately assumes the mass of a feathery piece of down. Rate of falling is thus instantly changed to a mere constant 2' per second or 12' per segment, and no damage is incurred when landing when the spell is in effect. However, when the spell duration ceases, normal rate of fall occurs. The spell can be cast upon the magic-user or some other creature or object up to the maximum range of 1" per level of experience of the spell caster. it lasts for 1 segment for each level of the magic-user. The Feather Fall affects an area of 1 cubic inch, and the maximum weight of creatures and/or objects cannot exceed a combined total equal to a base 2,000 gold pieces weight plus 2,000 gold pieces weight per level of the spell caster. Example: a 2nd level magic- user has a range of 2", a duration of 2 segments, a weight maximum of 6,000 gold pieces (600 pounds) when employing the spell. The spell works only upon free-falling or propelled objects. It will not affect a sword blow or a charging creature, but it will affect a missile. The material component is a small feather or a piece of down somewhere on the person of the spell caster.

Find Familiar (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1 mile/level Casting Time: 1-24 hours Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: As spell range Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 66

Explanation/Description: A familiar is of certain benefit to a magic-user, as the creature adds to the spell caster's hit points, it conveys its sensory powers to its master, and it can converse with and will serve as a guard/scout/spy as well. However, the magic-user has no control over what sort of creature will answer the summoning, or if any at all will come, and the power of the conjuration is such that it can be attempted but once per year. At such time as the magic-user determines to find a familiar, he or she must stoke up a brass brazier with charcoal, and when this is burning well, add 100 g.p. worth of incense, herbs (basil, savoury, and catnip for sure), and fat. When these items are burning. the spell caster begins his or her incantation, and it must be continued until the familiar comes or the casting time is finished. Your referee will secretly determine all results. The magic-user has absolutely no control over what sort of a creature appears to become his or her familiar. This will be determined on the table below:

* Subtract 1 from the die score for each 3 levels of experience of the spell caster, and if the score is 15 or less roll again using d16, and if a 16 is rolled then the result is final.

If a score of 15 is rolled, use the table below for a special familiar:

Normal familiars have 2-4 hit points and armor class of 7 (due to size, speed, etc.). Each is abnormally intelligent and totally faithful to the magic-user whose familiar it becomes. The number of the familiar's hit points is added to the hit point total of the magic-user when it is within 12" of its master, but if the familiar should ever be killed, the magic-user will permanently lose double that number of hit points.

If a special familiar is indicated, details of the powers it conveys are given in ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL for all except the brownie. This creature becomes a friend and companion to the magic-user, and he or she will gain dexterity equal to the brownie's (18) and the advantage of never being surprised, as well as +2 on all saving throws. Note that special familiars are entitled to a saving throw versus magic when summoned by the spell, and if they succeed, they will ignore the spell, and NO familiar will be available that year to the caster.

A familiar will fight for the life of the magic-user it serves only in a life- and-death situation, and imps and quasits will be 90% likely not to do so at the risk of their own life.

Firewater (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 pint of water per level of caster Type: Alteration Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user changes a volume of water to a volatile, flammable substance similar to alcohol and likewise lighter than water. If this substance is exposed to flame, fire, or even a spark, it will burst into flames and burn with a hot fire. Each creature subject to firewater flame will suffer 2-12 hit points of damage. The firewater created will evaporate and be useless within 1 round, even if it is securely contained and sealed, so it must be utilized (ignited) within 10 segments of its creation. The material components of this spell are a few grains of sugar and a raisin.

Friends (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 1" + 1" / level of spell caster radius sphere Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 66

Explanation/Description: A Friends spell causes the magic-user to gain a temporary increase of 2-8 points in Charisma--or a temporary lowering of charisma by 1-4 points--depending on whether creatures within the area of effect of the spell make--or fail--their saving throw versus magic. Those that fail their saving throw will be very impressed with the spell caster and desire greatly to be his or her friend and help. Those that do not fail will be uneasy in the spell caster's presence and tend to find him or her irritating. Note that this spell has absolutely no effect on creatures of animal intelligence or lower. The components for this spell are chalk (or white flour), lampblack (or soot), and vermilion applied to the face before casting the spell.

Grease (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 1 sq. ft. per level of caster Type: Evocation Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: A Grease spell creates an area covered by a slippery substance of a fatty, greasy nature. Any creature stepping upon this area will have to save versus petrification or slip, skid, and fall. Of course, if a creature is aware of the area, it can possibly be avoided. The spell can also be used to cause a greasy coating on some surface other than that underfoot--a rope, ladder rungs, weapon handle, etc. Lone material objects wilt always be subject to such a spell use, but if the magic is cast upon an object being wielded or employed by a creature, the creature must fail a saving throw versus spell for the Grease spell to be effective. A single saving throw will negate the effects. The material component of the spell is a bit of pork rind, butter, or other greasy material.

Hold Portal (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V Range: 2"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round /level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 80 square feet/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 66

Explanation/Description: This spell magically bars a door, gate or valve of wood, metal or stone. The magical closure holds the portal fast just as if it were securely stopped and locked. The range of the spell is 2' per level of experience of the caster, and it lasts for 1 round per level. Note that any extra-dimensional creature (demon, devil, elemental, etc.) will shatter such a held portal. A magic-user of four or more experience levels higher than the spell caster can open the held portal at will. A Knock spell (q.v.) or Dispel Magic spell (q.v.) will negate the Hold Portal. Held portals can be broken or battered down.

Identify (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One item Type: Divination Source: PH 66

Explanation/Description: When an Identify spell is cast, one item may be touched and handled by the magic-user in order that he or she may possibly find what dweomer it possesses. The item in question must be held or worn as would be normal for any such object. i.e. a bracelet must be placed on the spell caster's wrist, a helm on his or her head, boots on the feet, a cloak worn, a dagger held, and so on. Note that any consequences of this use of the item fall fully upon the magic-user, although any saving throw normally allowed is still the privilege of the magic-user. For each segment the spell is in force, it is 15% + 5% per level of the magic-user probable that 1 property of the object touched can become known--possibly that the item has no properties and is merely a ruse (the presence of Nystul's Magic Aura or a Magic Mouth being detected). Each time a property can be known, the referee will secretly roll to see if the magic-user made his or her saving throw versus magic. If the save was successful, the property is known; if it is 1 point short, a false power will be revealed; and if it is lower than 1 under the required score no information will be gained. The item will never reveal its exact pluses to hit or its damage bonuses, although the fact that it has few or many such pluses can be discovered. If it has charges, the object will never reveal the exact number, but it will give information which is +/-25% of actual i.e. a wand with 40 charges could feel as if it had 30, or 50, or any number in between. The item to be identified must be examined by the magic- user within 1 hour per level of experience of the examiner after it has been discovered, or all readable impressions will have been blended into those of the characters who have possessed it since. After casting the spell and determining what can be learned from it, the magic-user loses 8 points of constitution. He or she must rest for 6 turns per 1 point in order to regain them. If the 8 point loss drops the spell caster below a constitution of 3, he or she will fall unconscious, and consciousness will not be regained until full constitution is restored 24 hours later. The material components of this spell are a pearl (of at least 100g.p. value) and an owl feather steeped in wine, with the infusion drunk and a live miniature carp swallowed whole prior to spell casting. If a luckstone is powdered and added to the infusion, probability increases 25% and all saving throws are made at +4.

Jump (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the individual is empowered to leap up to 30' forward or 10' backward or straight upward. Horizontal leaps forward or backward are in only a slight arc--about 2'/10' of distance traveled. The Jump spell does not insure any safety in landing or grasping at the end of the leap. For every 3 additional levels of experience of the magic-user beyond the 1st, he or she is able to empower 1 additional leap, so a 4th level magic-user can cast a Jump spell which enables the recipient to make 2 leaps, 3 leaps at 7th level, etc. All leaps must be completed within 1 turn after the spell is cast, for after that period has elapsed the spell wears off. The material component of this spell is a grasshopper's hind leg, one for each leap, to be broken when the leap is made.

Light (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 2" radius globe Type: Alteration Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: This spell causes excitation of molecules so as to make them brightly luminous. The light thus caused is equal to torch light in brightness, but its sphere is limited to 4" in diameter. It lasts for the duration indicated (7 turns at 1st experience level, 8 at 2nd, 9 at 3rd, etc.) or until the caster utters a word to extinguish the light. The Light spell is reversible, causing darkness in the same area and under the same conditions, except the blackness persists for only one half the duration that light would last. If this spell is cast upon a creature, the applicable magic resistance and saving throw dice rolls must be made. Success indicates that the spell affects the area immediately behind the creature, rather than the creature itself. In all other cases, the spell takes effect where the caster directs as long as he or she has a line of sight or unobstructed path for the spell; fight can spring from air, rock, metal, wood, or almost any similar substance.

(Original Explanation/Description: With the exceptions noted above, this spell is the same as the first level cleric Light spell (q.v.).)

Magic Missile (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 6" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One or more creatures in a 10 square foot area Type: Evocation Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: Use of the Magic Missile spell creates one or more magical missiles which dart forth from the magic-user's fingertip and unerringly strike their target. Each missile does 2 to 5 hit points (d4+1) of damage. If the magic-user has multiple missile capability, he or she can have them strike a single target creature or several creatures, as desired. For each level of experience of the magic-user, the range of his or her Magic Missile extends 1" beyond the 6" base range. For every 2 levels of experience, the magic-user gains an additional missile, i.e. 2 at 3rd level, 3 at 5th level, 4 at 7th level, etc.

Melt (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 1 cu. yd. of ice or 2 cu. yds. of snow per level of caster Type: Alteration Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: When a Melt spell is cast, the magic-user effectively raises the temperature in the area of effect. This sudden increase in warmth will melt ice in 1 round, so that a 1st level magic-user can melt a cube of solid ice, 1 yard on a side, in 1 round after the spell is cast, so that the ice becomes water. Twice this volume of snow can be affected, so that the spell will melt 1 cubic yard of snow in 1/2 round, or will turn 2 cubic yards (1 yd. x 1 yd. x 2 yds.) of snow to water in 1 round. Against such monsters as white dragons, winter wolves, yeti, woolly rhinos, those composed of para-elemental ice, and the like, a Melt spell will inflict 2 points of damage per level of the spell caster, or 1 point per level if the subject creature makes its saving throw versus spell. The Melt spell is generally ineffective against types of creatures other than those enumerated above. The material components for a Melt spell are a few crystals or rock salt and a pinch of soot.

Mending (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One object Type: Alteration Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: This spell repairs small breaks in objects. It will weld a broken ring, chain link, medallion or slender dagger, providing but one break exists. Ceramic or wooden objects with multiple breaks can be invisibly rejoined to be as strong as new. A hole in a leather sack or wineskin is completely healed over by a mending spell. This spell will not repair magic items of any kind. The material components of this spell are two small magnets of any type (lodestone in all likelihood) or two burrs.

Message (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 5 segments + 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1/4" path Type: Alteration Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user can whisper a message and secretly, or openly, point his or her finger while so doing, and the whispered message will travel in a straight line and be audible to the creature pointed at. The message must fit spell duration, and if there is time remaining, the creature who received the message can whisper a reply and be heard by the spell caster. Note that there must be an open and unobstructed path between the spell caster and the recipient of the spell. The material component of the spell is a short piece of copper drawn fine.

Mount (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 12 turns + 6/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster calls a normal animal to serve him or her as a mount. The animal will serve willingly and well, but at the expiration of the spell duration it will disappear, returning to its own place. The type of mount gained by this spell depends on the level of the caster; of course, a caster of sufficiently high level to qualify for a camel (for instance) can choose a "lower level" mount if he or she so desires. Available mounts are these:

1st through 3rd level: mule or light horse

4th through 7th level: draft horse or warhorse

8th through 12th level: camel

13th level & up: elephant (and houda at 18th level)

The mount will not come with any riding gear, unless it is of a class lower than the caster would normally be entitled to gain, i.e. a 4th level magic-user can gain a warhorse without saddle and harness or a light horse with saddle and harness. The statistics of the animal gained are typical of all creatures of the same class. The material component of the spell is a bit of hair or dung from the type of animal to be conjured.

Nystul's Magic Aura (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Special Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell any one item of a weight of 50 g.p. per level of experience of the spell caster can be given an aura which will be noticed if detection of magic is exercised upon the object. If the object bearing the Nystul's Magic Aura is actually held by the creature detecting for a dweomer, he, she or it is entitled to a saving throw versus magic, and if this throw is successful, the creature knows that the aura has been placed to mislead the unwary. Otherwise, the aura is simply magical, but no amount of testing will reveal what the magic is. The component for this spell is a small square of silk which must be passed over the object to bear the aura.

Precipitation (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 3" diam. cylinder up to 12" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, all water vapor in the atmosphere within the area of effect is precipitated in the form of a light rain. (Note that low-level spell casters will certainly be within the area of effect of the spell.) The rain will continue for only as many segments of time as the spell caster has levels of experience. Since only some 1/100 of an inch of precipitation falls during the course of a segment, the spell will have only the following general effects:

• Thin, light material will become damp in 1 segment and thoroughly wet thereafter.

• Twigs and heavy material such as canvas will be damp in 2 segments and wet thereafter.

• Flat, relatively non-porous surfaces, such as stone floors, rock, painted wood, etc., will be damp in 1 segment and filmed with water thereafter.

• Semi-porous surfaces and materials will become damp on the surface in 2 segments, and thereafter the damp area will progress downward/inward, until after 5 segments the surface or material will be thoroughly wet.

• Porous surfaces and materials will simply absorb the rain up to the limit of their capacity--which probably extends well beyond the duration of the spell.

• Small flames, such as those of candles, will be extinguished by 1 segment of precipitation. Small fires will slow and become smoky for 1 round after precipitation has ceased. Large fires will not be materially affected by the spell.

Note that if the temperature is above 90° F., the duration of the spell will be extended to double normal except in arid regions. Also, where the temperature ranges between 33' and 31O F., the precipitation will fall in the form of sleet. At 30° F. and below, the precipitation will fall as rather thick snow, and most dampnesslwetness effects will be negated or postponed until the snow melts. If magical heat of large area (i.e., a Wall of Fire, Fireball, Flame Strike, etc.) is applied to precipitation, a cloud of warm fog of double the area of the precipitation effect will be formed. If magical cold is applied to the spell or the water which remains thereafter, normal ice will be formed. The material component of the spell is a pinch of silver dust.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is identical to the 1st-level clerical spell of the same name, except that a holy symbol is not part of the material component.)

Protection From Evil (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 2 rounds / level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, it acts as if it were a magical armor upon the recipient. The protection encircles the recipient at a one foot distance, thus preventing bodily contact by creatures of an enchanted or conjured nature such as aerial servants, demons, devils, djinn, efreet, elementals, imps, invisible stalkers, night hags, quasits, salamanders, water weirds, wind walkers, and xorn. Summoned animals or monsters are similarly hedged from the protected creature. Furthermore, any and all attacks launched by evil creatures incur a penalty of -2 from dice rolls "to hit" the protected creature, and any saving throws caused by such attacks are made at +2 on the protected creature's dice. This spell can be reversed to become Protection From Good, although it still keeps out enchanted evil creatures as well. To complete this spell, the magic-user must trace a 3' diameter circle upon the floor (or ground) with powdered iron and silver.

(Original Explanation/Description: With the differences shown above, and the requirement of powdered iron and silver as the material components for tracing the magic circle for Protection From Evil, the spell is the same as the first level cleric Protection From Evil spell (q.v.).)

Push (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" + 1/4"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 67

Explanation/Description: Upon pronouncing the syllables of this spell, the magic-user causes an invisible force to strike against whatever object he or she is pointing at. The force of the Push is not great, being 1 foot-pound per level of the magic-user casting the spell, but it can move small objects up to 1' in a direction directly away from the caster, topple an object under the proper conditions, or cause a creature to lose its balance. An example of the latter use is causing a creature attacking to lose its balance when it is attacking, for if the creature fails its saving throw, it will not be able to attack that round. Of course, the mass of the creature attacking cannot exceed the force of the Push by more than a factor of 50, i.e. a 1st level magic- user cannot effectively push a creature weighing more than 50 pounds. A Push spell employed against an object held by a creature will cause it to subtract the force of the spell in foot-pounds (1, 2, 3, etc.) from its chance to hit or add to opponent saving throws as applicable if the creature fails to make its saving throw against magic when the spell is cast. The material component of this spell is a small pinch of powdered brass which must be blown from the palm prior to pointing at the object of the spell.

Read Magic (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: By means of a Read Magic spell, the magic-user is able to read magical inscriptions on objects--books, scrolls weapons and the like--which would otherwise be totally unintelligible to him or her. (The personal books of the magic-user, and works already magically read, are intelligible.) This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a curse scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and the magic-user has read the magical inscription, he or she is thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of the Read Magic spell. The duration of the spell is 2 rounds per level of experience of the spell caster. The material component for the spell is a clear crystal or mineral prism. Note that the material is not expended by use. The reverse of the spell, Unreadable Magic, makes such writing completely unreadable to any creature, even with the aid of a Read Magic, until the spell wears off or the magic is dispelled. The material components for the reverse spell are a pinch of dirt and a drop of water.

Run (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 5-8 hours Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special (humans, demi-humans only) Type: Enchantment Source: UA 52

Explanation/Description: The Run spell enables the recipient to run at full speed (twice normal speed) for from 5-8 hours without tiring. However, after so running the individual must spend a like number of hours resting, as well as drinking plenty of liquids and eating heartily. For every 2 levels of experience of the spell caster, another individual can be affected, i.e. at 4th level, 2 individualscan be touched and empowered to run; at 6th level, 3 individuals; etc. Only humans and demi-humans in their natural forms are affected by this spell, and barbarians having the special running ability of that class are immune to the spell's effects. The material component of this spell is an elixir made from the juice of dried plums boiled in spring water and the oil of 5-8 beans of a spurge (castor) plant.

Shield (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, an invisible barrier before the front of the magic-user comes into being. This Shield will totally negate magic missile attacks. It provides the equivalent protection of armor class 2 against hand hurled missiles (axes, darts, javelins, spears, etc.), armor class 3 against small device-propelled missiles (arrows, bolts, bullets, manticore spikes, sling stones, etc.), and armor class 4 against all other forms of attack. The Shield also adds +1 to the magic-user's saving throw dice vs. attacks which are basically frontal. Note that all benefits of the spell accrue only to attacks originating from the front facing the magic-user, where the Shield can move to interpose itself properly.

Shocking Grasp (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: One touch Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: When the magic-user casts this spell, he or she develops a powerful electrical charge which gives a jolt to the creature touched. The Shocking Grasp delivers from 1 to 8 hit points damage (1d8), plus 1 hit point per level of the magic-user, i.e. a 2nd level magic-user would discharge a shock causing 3 to 10 (1d8+2) hit points of damage. While the magic-user must only come close enough to his or her opponent to lay a hand on the opponent's body or upon an electrical conductor which touches the opponent's body, a like touch from the opponent does not discharge the spell.

Sleep (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: When a magic-user casts a Sleep spell, he or she will usually cause a comatose slumber to come upon one or more creatures [other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded (see ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. MONSTER MANUAL) from the spell's effects]. All creatures to be affected by the Sleep spell must be within a 3" diameter circle. The number of creatures which can be affected is a function of their life energy levels, expressed as hit dice and hit points:

The area of effect is determined by the range and area center decided upon by the spell caster. Slapping or wounding will awaken affected creatures, but noise will not do so. Awakening requires 1 complete melee round. Note that sleeping creatures can be slain automatically at a rate of 1 per slayer per melee round. The material component for this spell is a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a live cricket.

Spider Climb (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: A Spider Climb spell enables the recipient to climb and travel upon vertical surfaces just as a giant spider is able to do, i.e. at 3" movement rate, or even hang upside down from ceilings. Note that the affected creature must have bare hands and feet in order to climb in this manner. During the course of the spell the recipient cannot handle objects which weigh less than 50 g.p., for such objects will stick to the creature's hands/feet, so a magic-user will find it virtually impossible to cast spells if under a Spider Climb dweomer. The material components of this spell are a drop of bitumen and a live spider, both of which must be eaten by the spell recipient.

Taunt (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 2 level or hit dice per level of caster Type: Enchantment Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: A Taunt spell enables the caster to jape and jeer effectively with respect to any creature with an intelligence of 2 or greater. The spell's dweomer gives the magic-user's words and sounds real meaning to the subject creature or creatures. These words and sounds will challenge the subject(s), be insulting, and in general cause irritation and anger. If the subject creature or creatures fail to save versus spell, the Taunt spell will cause them to rush forth in fury to do battle with the spell caster, and each and every affected creature so coming will certainly attack the spell caster if physically capable of doing so, i.e. they will seek to use body weapons and hand-held weapons rather than attacking from a distance. Separation by an impenetrable or uncrossable boundary (a wall of flame, a deep chasm) will cause the spell to break. Only one sort of creature can be affected by a single Taunt spell; in a mixed group of orcs and goblins (for instance) the caster would be able to affect either the orcs or the goblins (caster's choice), but not both at once. The magic affects creatures closest to the spell caster first, regardless of maximum range. Thus, if a group of gnolls were being taunted by a 10th-level magic-user, the nearest ten creatures would be subject to the spell first, even though the spell caster might prefer to affect the gnollish shaman at the rear of the group. Troops under a strong leader would gain a saving throw bonus of +1 to +4, at the DM's discretion.

Tenser's Floating Disc (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 3 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 68

Explanation/Description: With this spell, the caster creates the circular plane of null-gravity known as Tenser's Floating Disc after the famed wizard of that appellation (whose ability to locate treasure and his greed to recover every copper found are well known). The disc is concave, 3' in diameter, and holds 1,000 g.p. weight per level of the magic-user casting the spell. The disc floats at approximately 3' above the ground at all times and remains level likewise. It maintains a constant interval of 6' between itself and the magic-user if unbidden. It will otherwise move within its range, as well as along with him at a rate of 6", at the command of the magic-user. If the spell caster moves beyond range, or if the spell duration expires, the floating disc winks out of existence and whatever it was supporting is precipitated to the surface beneath it. The material component of the spell is a drop of mercury.

Unseen Servant (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 6 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 3" radius of spell caster Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: The Unseen Servant is a non-visible valet, a butler to step and fetch, open doors and hold chairs, as well as to clean and mend. The spell creates a force which is not strong, but which obeys the command of the magic-user. It can carry only light-weight items--a maximum of 200 gold pieces weight suspended, twice that amount moving across a relatively friction-free surface such as a smooth stone or wood floor. It can only open normal doors, drawers, lids, etc. The Unseen Servant cannot fight nor can it be killed, as it is a force rather than a creature. It can be magically dispelled, or eliminated after taking 6 hit points of magical damage. The material components of the spell are a piece of string and a bit of wood.

Ventriloquism (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, M Range: 1"/level, maximum 6" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One object Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the magic-user to make it sound as if his or her voice--or someone's voice or similar sound--is issuing from someplace else, such as from another creature, a statue, from behind a door, down a passage, etc. The spell caster is able to make his or her voice sound as if a different creature were speaking or making the noise; of course, in a language known by him or her, or a sound which the caster can normally make. With respect to such voices and sounds, there is a 10% chance per point of intelligence above 12 of the hearer that the ruse will be recognized. The material component of the spell is a small cone of parchment.

Wizard Mark (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 sq. ft. Type: Alteration Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able to inscribe, visibly or invisibly, his or her personal rune or mark, as well as up to six additional characters of smaller size. A Wizard Mark spell allows the caster to etch the rune upon stone, metal, or any softer substance without harm to the material upon which the mark is placed. If an invisible mark is made, detect magic will cause it to glow and be readable (which does not necessarily imply understandability). Detect invisibiliu true seeing, true sight, a gem of seeing, or a robe of eyes will likewise note an invisible wizard mark. A Read Magic spell will reveal the maker's intent, and an Erase spell will wipe clean a wizard marked surface. The material components for the casting of this spell are a pinch of diamond dust (about 50 gp worth) and a pigment or pigments for the coloration of the mark. If the mark is to be invisible, the pigments are still needed, but the caster uses a stylus of some sort rather than his or her digit.

Write (Magic-User Level 1)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One magical spell inscription Type: Evocation Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell a magic-user might be able to inscribe a spell to make a magical scroll he or she cannot understand at the time (due to level or lack of sufficient intelligence) into the tome or other compilation he or she employs to maintain a library of spells. The magic-user must make a saving throw versus magic to attempt the writing of any spell, +2 if it is only up to 1 level greater than he or she currently uses, 0 at 2 levels higher, and -1 per level from 3 levels higher onwards. If this throw fails, the magic user is subject to 1d4 of damage for every level of the spell he or she was attempting to transcribe into his or her magic book, and furthermore be knocked unconscious for a like number of turns. This damage, if not fatal, can only be healed at the rate of 1-4 points per day, as it is damage to psyche and body. Furthermore, a spell will take 1 hour per level to transcribe in this fashion, and during this period, the magic-user is in a trance state and can always be surprised by any foe. In addition to the writing surface upon which the spell is to be transcribed, the spell caster needs a fine ink composed of rare substances (minimum cost 200 g.p. per bottle, if available at all without manufacture by the magic user).

MAGIC-USER LEVEL 2

Audible Glamour (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, M Range: 6" + 1 "/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Hearing range Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: When the Audible Glamour spell is cast, the magic- user causes a volume of sound to arise, at whatever distance he or she desires (within range), and seeming to recede, close, or remain in a fixed place as desired. The volume of sound caused, however, is directly related to the level of the spell caster. The relative noise is based upon the lowest level at which the spell can be cast, 3rd level. The noise of the Audible Glamour at this level is that of 4 men, maximum. Each additional experience level adds a like volume, so at 4th level the magic-user can have the spell cause sound equal to that of 8 men, maximum. Thus, talking, singing, or shouting, and/or walking, marching or running sounds can be caused. The auditory illusion created by an Audible Glamour spell can be virtually any type of sound, but the relative volume must be commensurate with the level of the magic-user casting the spell. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the some volume as 8 men running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise volume of 16 men, while a roaring dragon is equal to the noise volume of no fewer than 24 men. If a character states that he or she does not believe the sound, a saving throw is made, and if it succeeds, the character then hears nothing, or possibly just a faint sound. Note that this spell is particularly effective when cast in conjunction with Phantasmal Force (see below). The material component of the spell is a bit of wool or a small lump of wax.

Bind (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration/Enchantment Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: When this spell is employed, the magic-user causes any ropelike object of non-living material to behave as he or she orders. The subject can be string, yarn, cord, line, rope, or even a cable. About 50' of normal rope (1 inch diameter), plus 5' per level of the spell caster, can be affected. Reduce length proportionately when diameter increases, and increase length by 50% when diameter is halved. The commands possible to give under a Bind spell are: Coil (form a neat, coiled stack); Coil & Knot; Loop; Loop & Knot; Tie & Knot; and the reverses of all of the above (Uncoil, etc.). The rope or other ropelike object must be within about 1 foot of any object in order for it to respond properly, so it must usually be thrown or hurled nearby. Any creature affected by the ropelike object can, of course, interact with it as if it were a normal object. The creature's hold overrides the dweomer on the rope, and the rope takes 2 points of slashing damage before breaking. The rope cannot be used as a garrot, but can be used as a trip line or to entangle (as the druid spell) a single opponent. The dweomer does not cause the rope to have magical properties beyond its ability to obey commands (cf. rope of climbing, rope of entanglement).

Continual Light (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" radius globe Type: Alteration Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: This spell causes excitation of molecules so as to make them brightly luminous. The light thus caused is nearly as illuminating as full daylight in brightness, but its sphere is limited to 4" in diameter. It lasts until the caster utters a word to extinguish the light. If this spell is cast upon a creature, the applicable magic resistance and saving throw dice rolls must be made. Success indicates that the spell affects the area immediately behind the creature, rather than the creature itself. In all other cases, the spell takes effect where the caster directs as long as he or she has a line of sight or unobstructed path for the spell; light can spring from air, rock, metal, wood, or almost any similar substance.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the second level cleric spell Continual Light except that the range is only 6", not 12", and it cannot be reversed by the caster.)

Darkness, 15' Radius (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 turn + 1 round /level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 1/2" radius globe Type: Alteration Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: This spell causes total, impenetrable darkness in the area of its effect. Infravision or ultravision are useless. Neither normal nor magical light will work unless a Light or Continual Light spell is used. In the former event, the Darkness spell is negated by the Light spell and vice versa. The material components of this spell area bit of bat fur and either a drop of pitch or a piece of coal.

Deeppockets (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 24 turns + 6/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One garment Type: Alteration/Enchantment Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: This spell allows the magic-user to specially prepare a garment so as to hold far more than it normally could. A finely sewn gown or robe of high-quality material (at least 300 gp value) is fashioned so as to contain numerous hand-sized pockets. One dozen is the minimum number. The deeppockets spell then makes one of these pockets able to hold 1,000 gp worth of weight (5 cubic feet volume) as if it were only 100 gp of weight. Furthermore, there will be no discernible bulge where the special pocket is. The spell can be changed to allow 10 pockets each of 100 gp weight capability (1/2 cubic foot volume each). If a robe or like garment is sewn with 100 or more pockets (1,000 gp minimum cost), then 100 pockets can be dweomered to contain 10 gp weight each and hold 1/6 cubic foot volume each. If the spell duration expires while there is material within the enchanted pockets, or a Dispel Magic is cast upon the enchanted garment, the wearer must make a saving throw versus spell. Failure indicates the material in those pockets has gone from extra-dimensional space to astral space--lost forever. Success indicates the material suddenly and totally appears around the wearer, and immediately falls to the ground. In addition to the garment, the material components of this spell are a tiny golden needle and a strip of fine cloth given a half-twist and fastened at the ends.

Detect Evil (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: This is a spell which discovers emanations of evil, or of good in the case of the reverse spell, from any creature or object. For example, evil alignment or an evilly cursed object will radiate evil, but a hidden trap or an unintelligent viper will not. The duration of a Detect Evil (or Detect Good) spell is 1 turn + 1/2 turn (5 rounds, or 5 minutes) per level of the magic-user. Thus a magic-user of 1st level of experience can cast a spell with a 1 1/2 turn duration, at 2nd level a 2 turn duration, 2 1/2 at 3rd, etc. The spell has a path of detection 1" wide in the direction in which the magic-user is facing.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the first level cleric Detect Evil (q.v.).)

Detect Invisibility (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path Type: Divination Source: PH 69

Explanation/Description: When the magic-user casts a Detect Invisibility spell, he or she is able to clearly see any objects which are invisible, as well as astral, ethereal, hidden, invisible or out of phase creatures. Detection is in the magic-user's line of sight along a 1" wide path to the range limit. The material components of this spell are a pinch of talc and a small sprinkling of powdered silver.

ESP (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1/2"/level, 9" maximum Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature per probe Type: Divination Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: When an ESP spell is used, the caster is able to detect the surface thoughts of any creatures in range--except creatures with no mind (as we know it), such as all of the undead. The ESP is stopped by 2 or more feet of rock, 2 or more inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead foil. The magic-user employing the spell is able to probe the surface thoughts of 1 creature per turn, getting simple instinctual thoughts from lower order creatures. Probes can continue on the same creature from round to round. The caster can use the spell to help determine if some creature lurks behind a door, for example, but the ESP will not always reveal what sort of creature it is. The material component of this spell is a copper piece.

Flaming Sphere (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 6' diameter sphere Type: Alteration/Evocation Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: A Flaming Sphere spell causes a burning globe of normal-type fire to come into being up to 1" distant from the spell caster. This sphere will then begin rolling in the direction in which the magic-user points, even though it might be uphill. It will roll over low barriers such as walls, furniture, etc., as as long as these barriers are not over 4' tall. Flammable substances will be set afire by contact with the sphere. Creatures struck will suffer 2-8 points of damage. All creatures within a 5' radius of the sphere's center must save versus spell or else take the indicated damage. A successful save negates the flaming sphere. The flaming sphere moves at a rate of 1" per round as long as the spell caster points in the direction it is to move, for it otherwise merely stays at rest and flames. It can be extinguished by the same means as any normal fire of its size. The material components are a bit of tallow, a pinch of sulphur, and a dusting of powdered iron.

Fools Gold (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot per level of the magic-user Type: Alteration Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: Copper coins can temporarily be changed to gold pieces, or brass items turned to solid gold for the spell duration by means of this dweomer. Note that a huge amount of copper or brass can be turned to gold by the spell--assume 4,000 g.p. are equal to a cubic foot for purposes of this spell. Any creature viewing Fools Gold is entitled to a saving throw which must be equal to or less than its intelligence score, but for every level of the magic-user the creature must add 1 to his dice score, so it becomes unlikely that Fools Gold will be detected if it was created by a high level caster. If the "gold" is struck hard by an object of cold-wrought iron, there is a slight chance it will revert to its natural state, depending on the material component used to create the "gold": if a 50 g.p. citrine is powdered and sprinkled over the metal to be changed, the chance that cold iron will return it to its true nature is 30%; if a 100 g.p. amber stone is powdered, there is a 25% chance that iron will dispel the dweomer; if a 500 g.p. topaz is powdered, the chance drops to 10%; and if a 1,000 g.p. oriental (corundum) topaz is powdered, there is only a 1% chance that the cold iron will reveal that it is Fools Gol d.

Forget (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 3" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 2" x 2" Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: By means of this dweomer the spell caster causes creatures within the area of effect to forget the events of the previous round (1 minute of time from the utterance of the spell back). For every 3 levels of experience of the spell caster another minute of past time is forgotten. Naturally, Forget in no way negates any Charm, Suggestions, Geases, Quests, or similar spells, but it is possible that the creature who caused such magic to be placed upon the victim of a Forget spell could be forgotten by this means. From 1-4 individual creatures can be affected by the spell, at the discretion of the caster. If only 1 is to be affected, the recipient saves versus magic at -2 on the dice; if 2 are spell objects, they save at -1; and if 3 or 4 are to be made to forget by this dweomer, they save normally. A clerical Heal or Restoration spell, specially cast for this purpose, will restore the lost memories, as will a Wish, but other means will not serve to do so.

Invisibility (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: This spell causes the recipient to vanish from sight and not be detectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced with respect to noises normal to it. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, or the magic-user or the other recipient cancels it or until he, she or it attacks any creature. Thus, the spell caster or recipient could open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc., but if any form of attack is made, the invisible creature immediately becomes visible, although this will allow the first attack by the creature because of the former invisibility. Even the allies of the spell recipient cannot see the invisible creature, or his, her or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Note that all highly intelligent creatures with 10 or more hit dice, or levels of experience, or the equivalent in intelligence/dice/levels have a chance to automatically detect invisible objects. The material components of the Invisibility spell are an eyelash and a bit of gum arabic, the former encased in the latter.

Irritation (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Alteration Source: UA 53

Explanation/Description: An Irritation spell affects the epidermis of the subject creature. Creatures having very thick or insensitive skins (such as buffalo, elephants, scaled creatures, etc.) are basically unaffected by the dweomer. There are two versions of the spell, either of which can be cast from the standard preparation:

Itching - When cast, this causes the subject to feel an instant itching sensation on some portion of its body. If 5-8 segments are not immediately spent scratching this irritated area, the subject creature will be so affected that the next 3 rounds will be spent squirming and twisting, effectively lowering the subject's armor class by 4 and its "to hit" probability by 2 during this time. Spells are ruined for the initial round this spell is in effect, but not for the following three rounds.

Rash - When a rash version of the spell is cast, the subject creature will notice nothing for 1-4 rounds, but thereafter its entire skin will begin to breakout in red welts which faintly itch. The rash will persist until either a cure disease or dispel magic is cast upon it. It lowers comeliness by 1 point per day until four days have passed, i.e. maximum loss of comeliness is 4 points. After one week, the subject's dexterity is lowered by 1 point also. Symptoms vanish immediately upon the removal of the rash, all statistics returning to normal.

The material component for this spell is powdered leaf from poison ivy, oak, or sumac.

Knock (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V Range: 6" Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10 square feet/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: The Knock spell will open stuck or held or wizard- locked doors. It will also open barred or otherwise locked doors. It causes secret doors to open. The Knock spell will also open locked or trick-opening boxes or chests. It will loose shackles or chains as well. If it is used to open a wizard-locked door, the Knock does not remove the former spell, but it simply suspends its functioning for 1 turn. In all other cases, the Knock will permanently open locks or welds--although the former could be closed and locked again thereafter. It will not raise bars or similar impediments (such as a portcullis). The spell will perform two functions, but if a door is locked, barred, and held, opening it will require two Knock spells.

Know Alignment (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One creature per 2 rounds Type: Divination Reversible Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: A Know Alignment spell enables the magic-user to exactly read the aura of a person--human, semi-human, or non-human. This will reveal the exact alignment of the person. Up to 10 persons can be examined with this spell. The reverse totally obscures alignment, even from this spell, of a single person for 1 turn, two persons for 5 rounds, etc. Certain magical devices will negate the ability to Know Alignment. If a target creature is scried for only one round, only its alignment ethic (law/chaos) will be discerned.

(Original explanation/description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the 2nd-level clerical spell of the same name. If a target creature is scried for only one round, only its alignment ethic (law/chaos) will be discerned.)

Leomund's Trap (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Object touched Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: This false trap is designed to fool the dwarf and/or thief attempting to pilfer or otherwise steal the spell caster's goods. It enables the magic-user to place a dweomer upon any small mechanism or device such as a lock, hinge, hasp, screw-on cap, ratchet, etc. Any examination by a character able to detect traps will be 100% likely to note the Leomund's Trap and believe it to be real. This probability reduces by 4% for each level of experience of the examiner beyond the first. If the supposed "trap" is then to be removed, it is only 20% likely that the creature attempting it will believe he or she has succeeded, +4% probability per level of experience of the remover. Of course, the spell is illusory, nothing will happen if the trap is ignored, and its primary purpose is to frighten away thieves or make them waste precious time. The material component of the spell is a piece of iron pyrite touched to the object to be "trapped". Only one Leomund's Trap may be placed within a 50' by 50' area

Levitate (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 70

Explanation/Description: When a Levitate spell is cast, the magic-user can place it upon his or her person, or upon some other creature, subject to a maximum weight limit of 1,000 gold pieces equivalence per level of experience, i.e., a third level magic user can Levitate up to 300 pounds (3,000 g.p.) maximum. If the spell is cast upon the person of the magic-user, he or she can move vertically at a rate of 20' per round. If cast upon another creature, the magic-user can levitate it at a maximum vertical movement of 10' per round. Horizontal movement is not empowered by this spell, but the recipient could push along the face of a cliff, far example, to move laterally. The spell caster can cancel the spell as desired. If the recipient of the spell is unwilling, that creature is entitled to a saving throw to determine if the Levitate spell affects it. The material component of this spell is either a small leather loop or a piece of golden wire bent into a cup shape with a long shank on one end.

Locate Object (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Reversible Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: This spell aids in location of a known or familiar object. The magic-user casts the spell, slowly turns, and knows when he or she is facing in the direction of the object to be located, provided the object is within range, i.e. 2" for 1st level magic-user, 4" for 2nd, 6" for 3rd, etc, The casting requires the use of a piece of lodestone. The spell will locate such objects as apparel, jewellery, furniture, tools, weapons, or even a ladder or stairway. By reversal (Obscure Object), the magic-user is able to hide an object from location by spell, crystal ball, or similar means. Neither application of the spell will affect a living creature.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the third level cleric Locate Object (q.v.) except that its range differs.)

Magic Mouth (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Special Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One object Type: Alteration Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user empowers the chosen object with an enchanted mouth which suddenly appears and speaks the message which the spell caster imparted upon the occurrence of a specified event. The Magic Mouth can speak any message of 25 words or less in a language known by the spell caster, over a 1 turn period from start to finish. It cannot speak magic spells. The mouth moves to the words articulated, so if it is placed upon a statue, for example, the mouth of the statue would actually move and appear to speak. Of course, the Magic Mouth can be placed upon a tree, rock, door or any other object excluding intelligent members of the animal or vegetable kingdoms. The spell will function upon specific occurrence according to the command of the spell caster, i.e. speak to the first creature that touches you - or to the first creature that passes within 30'. Command can be as general or specific and detailed as desired, such as the following: "Speak only when an octogenerian female human carrying a sack of great clusters sits cross legged within 1'." Command range is 1/2" per level of the magic-user, so a 6th level magic-user can command the Magic Mouth to speak at a maximum encounter range of 3", i.e. "Speak when a winged creature comes within 3" ". Until the speak command can be fulfilled, the Magic Mouth will remain in effect, thus spell duration is variable. A Magic Mouth cannot distinguish invisible creatures, alignments, level or hit dice, nor class, except by external garb. The material component of this spell is a small bit of honeycomb.

Melf's Acid Arrow (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One target Type: Evocation Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user creates a magic "arrow" which speeds itself to its target as if fired from the bow of a fighter of the same level as the magic-user casting the spell. The arrow is equal to a +1 weapon for hit determination purposes. The effect of a hit might inflict damage on the target even if it would not normally be harmed by an arrow or magic weapon of only +1 value. This is due to the acid. The arrow itself does 2-5 points of damage. The acid which gushes forth when it hits is equal to an acid missile of 8-ounce volume (1' diam. areaof effect, 2-8 hit points damage, plus item saving throw; splash does not apply). The acid's strength increases by one round's worth of damage for every 3 levels of experience of the spell caster above the 3rd, so that damage will occur over two rounds if the spell cast is from a 4th-6th level magic-user, unless the target can have the acid neutralized. The material components of the spell are a dart and powdered rhubarb leaf and adder stomach.

Mirror Image (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6' radius of spell caster Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: When a Mirror Image spell is invoked, the spell caster causes from 1 to 4 exact duplicates of himself or herself to come into being around his or her person. These images do exactly what the magic-user does, and as the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when it is effected, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the phantasms and which is the actual magic-user. When an image is struck by a weapon, magical or otherwise, it disappears. but any other existing images remain intact until struck. The images seem to shift from round to round, so that if the actual magic-user is struck during one round, he or she cannot be picked out from amongst his or her images the next. To determine the number of images which appear, roll percentile dice, and add 1 to the resulting score for each level of experience of the magic-user: 25 or less = 1 mirror image, 26-50 = 2, 51-75 = 3, 75 or more = 4. At the expiration of the spell duration all images wink out.

Preserve (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 rounds Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1/2 cu. ft. per level of caster Type: Abjuration Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: A Preserve spell enables the caster to retain some item fresh and whole until some later time when it is needed in a spell. Of course, the dweomer is ineffective in retaining the potency of material such as mistletoe, holly berries, and similar stuffs which must be gathered periodically. It is likewise ineffective in preserving the deceased for later resurrection. It is otherwise effectual. The sort of material which can be treated by a Preserve spell depends upon the level of the caster:

• Hard, relatively dry material: 2nd-4th level
• Soft, relatively wet material: 5th-7th level
• Semi-liquid and liquid materials: 8th level & up

A container is necessary only in cases where a relatively high degree of moisture is concerned. The material components of the spell are a pinch of dust, a bit of resin (or amber), and a drop of brandy.

Protection from Cantrips (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: None or Neg. Area of Effect: One creature or object Type: Abjuration Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: By casting this spell, the magic-user provides immunity to the effects of cantrips cast by other magic-users, apprentices, or creatures that use cantrip magic. The spell will protect the caster, or one item or person that he or she touches (such as a spell book or a drawer containing spell components), Any cantrip that is cast against the person or item in question dissipates with an audible popping sound, This spell is often used by a magic-user with mischievous apprentices, or one who wishes apprentices to clean or shine an area using elbow grease instead of magic. Any unwilling target of this spell must be touched (via a roll "to hit") and is allowed a saving throw versus spell to escape the effect.

Pyrotechnics (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10 or 100 times the fire source used Type: Alteration Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: A Pyrotechnics spell can have either of two effects. It produces a flashing and fiery burst of glowing, coloured aerial fireworks which lasts 1 segment per experience level of the druid casting the spell and temporarily blinds those creatures in the area of effect or under it or within 12" of the area (and in any event in unobstructed line of sight); or it causes a thick writhing stream of smoke to arise from the fire source of the spell and form a choking cloud which lasts for 1 round per experience level of the druid casting it, covering a roughly globular area from the ground or floor up (or conforming to the shape of a confined area), which totally obscures vision beyond 2'. The spell requires a fire of some sort in range. The area of Pyrotechnics effect is 10 times the volume of the fire source with respect to fireworks, 100 times with respect to smoke. In either case, the fire source is immediately extinguished by the employment of the spell.

(Original Explanation/Description: With the exception of the differences noted above, this spell is the same as the third level druid spell Pyrotechnics (q.v.).)

Ray Of Enfeeblement (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: 1" + 1/4"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: By means of a Ray Of Enfeeblement, a magic-user weakens an opponent, reducing strength--and attacks which rely upon it by 25% or more. For every level of experience beyond the third of the magic-user casting the spell, there is an additional 2% strength reduction, so that at 4th level, strength loss is 27%. Range and duration of the spell are also dependent upon the level of experience of the spell caster. For example, if a creature is struck by a Ray Of Enfeeblement it will lose the appropriate percentage of hit points of damage it scores on physical attacks (missiles, thrusting/cutting/crushing weapons, biting, clawing, goring, kicking, constriction, etc.). Your referee will determine any other reductions appropriate to the affected creature. If the target creature makes its saving throw, the spell has no effect.

Rope Trick (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 2 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast upon a piece of rope from 5' to 30' in length, one end of the rope rises into the air until the whole is hanging perpendicular, as if affixed at the upper end. The upper end is, in fact, fastened in an extra-dimensional space, and the spell caster and up to five others can climb up the rope and disappear into this place of safety where no creature can find them. The rope cannot be taken into the extra- dimensional space if six persons have climbed it, but otherwise it can be pulled up. Otherwise, the rope simply hangs in air, and will stay there unless removed by some creature. The persons in the extra-dimensional space must climb down the rope prior to the expiration of the spell duration, or else they are dropped from the height to which they originally climbed when the effect of the spell wears out. The rope can be climbed by only one person at a time. Note that the Rope Trick spell allows climbers to reach a normal place if they do not climb all the way to the rope's upper end, which is in an extra-dimensional space. The material components of this spell are powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment.

Scare (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 3-12 rounds Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: When this spell is directed at any creature with fewer than 6 levels of experience/hit dice, it must save versus magic or fall into a fit of trembling and shaking. The frightened creature will not drop any items held unless it is encumbered. If cornered, the spell recipient will fight, but at -1 on "to hit" and damage dice rolls and all saving throws as well. Note that this spell does not have any effect on elves, half-elves, the undead (skeletons, zombies, ghouls, shadows, ghosts, wights, wraiths), larvae, lemures, manes, or clerics of any sort. The material component used for this spell is a bit of bone from an undead skeleton, zombie, ghoul, ghost or mummy.

Shatter (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One object Type: Alteration Source: PH 71

Explanation/Description: The Shatter spell affects non-magical objects of crystal, glass, ceramic, or porcelain such as vials, bottles, flasks, jugs, windows, mirrors, etc. Such objects are shivered into dozens of pieces by the spell. Objects above 100 gold pieces weight equivalence per level of the spell caster are not affected, but all other objects of the appropriate composition must save versus a "crushing blow" or be shattered. The material component of this spell is a chip of mica.

Stinking Cloud (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 2" x 2" x 2" cloud Type: Evocation Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: When a Stinking Cloud is cast, the magic-user causes a billowing mass of nauseous vaporous to come into being up to 3" distant from his or her position. Any creature caught within the cloud must save versus poison or be helpless due to nausea from 2 to 5 turns (d4 + 1). Those which make successful saving throws are helpless only for as long as they remain within the cloud, and for the round after they emerge, because of its irritating effects on visual and olfactory organs. The material component of the spell is a rotten egg or several skunk cabbage leaves

Strength (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Person touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: Application of this spell increases the strength of the character by a number of points--or tenths of points after 18 strength is attained and the character is in the fighter class. Benefits of the strength spell last for the duration of the magic. The amount of additional strength accruing to a character upon whom this spell is cast depends upon his or her class and is subject to all restrictions on strength due to race, sex or class.

If a fighter (paladin or ranger as well) has an 18 strength already, from 10% to 80% is added to his extraordinary strength roll. All strength addition scores above 18 are likewise treated as 1 equaling an extra 10% on the extraordinary strength rating. The material component of this spell is a few hairs or a pinch of dung from a particularly strong animal--ape, bear, ox, etc.

Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 5" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: One creature Type: Evocation Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the caster to cause the subject to perceive everything as hilariously funny. The effect is not immediate, and the subject creature will feel only a slight tingling on the round the dweomer is placed, but on the round immediately following, it will begin smiling, then giggling, chuckling, tittering, snickering, guffawing, and finally collapsing into gales of uncontrollable hideous laughter. Although this magic mirth lasts only a single round, the affected creature must spend the next round regaining its feet, and it will be at -2 from its strength (or -2 "to hit" and damage) on the 3rd and 4th rounds following the spell casting. A successful save versus spell negates the effect. The saving throw depends on the intelligence of the creature. Creatures with intelligence of 3 or less are totally unaffected. Those with intelligence of 4-8 save at -6; those with intelligence of 9-12 save at -4; those with intelligence of 13-15 save at -2; and those with intelligence of 16 or greater have normal saving throw probability. The material components of the spell are a small feather, a tiny wooden paddle, and a minute tort. The tort is hurled at the subject, while the feather is waved in one hand and the paddle is tapped against the posterior of the spell caster.

Vocalize (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 5 rounds Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One spell-casting creature Type: Alteration Source: UA 54

Explanation/Description: This spell allows the recipient to cast spells that normally require a verbal component without having to make a sound, so long as the casting of the subsequent spell(s) takes place entirely within the duration of the Vocalize spell. This spell is of great use in situations where quiet is desired, or when the recipient is under the influence of a Silence spell. The Vocalize spell does not negate possible effects upon other vocal communication (a Message spell could be cast from within an area of magical silence, but no information would be transmitted back to the caster). The spell does not negate the effect of silence, but merely offsets it for the purpose of subsequent spell casting. If a spell cast by means of a Vocalize spell has some audible effect, that sound will be masked for as long as the silence remains in force. The material component of this spell is a bell without a clapper, or else a jailbird's tongue.

Web (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1/2"/level Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 2 turns/level Saving Throw: Neg. or 1/2 Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: A Web spell creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands similar to spider webs, but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more points--floor and ceiling, opposite walls, etc.--diametrically opposed.

The Web spell covers a maximum area of 8 cubic inches, and the webs must be at least 1" thick, so a mass 4" high, 2" wide, and 1" deep may be cast. Creatures caught within webs, or simply touching them, become stuck amongst the gluey fibers. Creatures with less than 13 strength must remain fast until freed by another or until the spell wears off. For every full turn entrapped by a Web, a creature has a 5% cumulative chance of suffocating to death. Creatures with strength between 13 and 17 can break through 1' of webs per turn. Creatures with 18 or greater strength break through 1' of webs per round. (N.B. Sufficient mass equates to great strength in this case, and great mass will hardly notice webs.) Strong and huge creatures will break through 1' of webs per segment. It is important to note that the strands of a Web spell are flammable. A magic flaming sword will slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire--torch, flaming oil, flaming sword, etc.--will set them alight and burn them away in a single round. All creatures within the webs will take 2-8 hit points of damage from the flames, but those freed of the strands will not be harmed. Saving throw is made at -2. If the saving throw versus Web is made, two results may have occurred. If the creature has room to escape then he is assumed to have jumped free. If there is no room to escape then the webs are only 1/2 strength. The material component of this spell is a bit of spider web.

Whip (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user creates a material, whip-like substance up to 1" distant from his or her person. The spell caster can then wield this whip by moving his or her hand as if it held an actual one, for the magical one will respond to movements made by its evoker. The lash can be used so as to make both a whistling crack and an actual strike each turn. The sound alone is sufficient to keep normal animals at bay unless they save versus spell. Any animal actually struck (as indicated by a normal "to hit" die roll) must save versus spell at -1 to -4 or else slink away and not return for at least an hour. Note that the whip does not do actual damage to the creature struck. Creatures with intelligence above 3 are not affected, nor are giant-sized animals above bear-size, nor are monsters. The whip can also be used in melee combat, a successful "to hit" roll indicating that the lash has struck and wrapped around an opponent's weapon. If that weapon is an edged one, the whip must make a saving throw versus crushing blow (13 or better); if the weapon is non-edged, the whip must save versus normal blow (6 or better). Success on this saving throw indicates that the whip has torn the weapon from the opponent's hand--unless the opponent succeeds on a saving throw versus spell. An affected weapon will be cast to the ground, and the opponent must take 1 round to recover it. The magic bonus of a target weapon applies as a penalty to the whip's saving throw versus crushing blow or normal blow, and the magic resistance of an intended target opponent must fail for a "to hit" roll to be possible in the first place. The material component of the spell is a small bit of silk braided so as to form a miniature whip.

Wizard Lock (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 30 square feet/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: When a Wizard Lock spell is cast upon a door, chest or portal, it magically locks it, The wizard-locked door or object can be opened only by breaking, a Dispel Magic, a Knock spell (qq.v.}, or by a magic- user 4 or more levels higher than the one casting the spell, Note that the last two methods do not remove the Wizard Lock, they only negate it for a brief duration. Creatures of extra-dimensional nature do not affect a Wizard Lock as they do a held portal (see Hold Portal).

Zephyr (Magic-User Level 2)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 2 segments Duration: 1 segment Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 1/2" per level in length Type: Evocation Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, a gentle draft of air moves from the spell caster and travels in the direction that he or she is facing. It continues until the maximum area of effect is reached. The force of the Zephyr is sufficient to cause small flames to waver and dance. It fans flames and fires of larger size, making them hotter (+1 on damage dice, if applicable). It will hold back moving clouds of vapors (such as a Cloudkill) for 1 round. It will weaken such vapors as Fog Cloud and Wall of Fog so as to reduce their duration by half. It will move stagnant air, vapors, or even poisonous gases backwards by 1", and this force likewise reduces their duration and potency by half, unless the vapor or gas is renewed by some source. The material component for this spell is a piece of fine parchment, accordion-folded and tacked near the bottom with a pin or ivory or silver.

MAGIC-USER LEVEL 3

Blink (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 0 Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Personal Type: Alteration Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user causes his or her material form to "blink" out and back to this plane once again in random period and direction during the duration at each minute the spell is in effect. (Cf. ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL, Blink Dog.) The segment of the round that the spell caster "blinks out" is determined by random roll with 2d4, and during this same segment he or she will appear again 2' distant from his or her previous position. (Direction is determined by roll of d8: 1 = right ahead, 2 = right, 3 = right behind, 4 = behind, 5 = left behind, 6 = left, 7 = left ahead, 8 = ahead.) If some object is already occupying the space where the spell caster is indicated as "blinking" into, his or her form is displaced in a direction away from original (round starting) position for any distance necessary to appear in empty space, but never in excess of an additional 10'. If that extra distance still dictates the magic-user and another solid object are to occupy the same space, the spell caster is then trapped on the ethereal plane. During and after the blink segment of a round, the spell caster can be attacked only by opponents able to strike both locations at once, e.g. a breath weapon, Fireball, and similar wide area attack forms. Those not so able can only strike the magic-user if they managed to attack prior to the "blink" segment. The spell caster is only 75% likely to be able to perform any acts other than physical attack with a hand-held stabbing or striking weapon during the course of this spell. That is, use of any spell, device, or item might not be accomplished or accomplished in an incorrect manner or in the wrong direction. Your referee will determine success/failure and the results thereof according to the particular action being performed.

Clairaudience (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Special Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: PH 72

Explanation/Description: The Clairaudience spell enables the magic-user to concentrate upon some locale and hear in his or her mind whatever noise is within a 6" radius of his or her determined Clairaudience locale center. Distance is not a factor, but the locale must be known, i.e. a place familiar to the spell caster or an obvious one (such as behind a door, around a corner, in a copse of woods, etc.). Only sounds which are normally detectable by the magic-user can be heard by use of this spell. Only metal sheeting or magical protections will prevent the operation of the spell. Note that it will function only on the plane of existence an which the magic-user is at the time of casting. The material component of the spell is a small silver horn of at least 100 g.p. value, and casting the spell causes it to disappear.

Clairvoyance (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Special Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Divination Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: Similar to the Clairaudience spell, the Clairvoyance spell empowers the magic-user to see in his or her mind whatever is within sight range from the spell locale chosen. Distance is not a factor, but the locale must be known--familiar or obvious. Furthermore, light is a factor whether or not the spell caster has the ability to see into the infrared or ultraviolet spectrums. If the area is dark, only a 1" radius from the center of the locale of the spell's area of effect can be clairvoyed; otherwise, the seeing extends to normal vision range. Metal sheeting or magical protections will foil a Clairvoyance spell. The spell functions only on the plane on which the magic-user is at the time of casting. The material component of the spell is a pinch of powdered pineal gland from a human or humanoid creature.

Cloudburst (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: None (& special) Area of Effect: 3" diam. cylinder up to 6" high Type: Alteration Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the caster causes the atmosphere to instantly precipitate all of its water vapor in the form of huge drops of rain, the resulting condensation not only causing a true downburst of rain but also sucking more vapor into the area to likewise be precipitated. The cloudburst will effectively drench everything in its area of effect within 1 segment, for its rain will fall at the rate of 1/10 inch per segment, or 1 inch of rainfall in 1 round. All normal fires within the area of effect will be extinguished by a cloudburst--small ones instantly, medium-sized ones in 3-5 segments, and large-sized ones in 8-10 segments. Magical fires will also be extinguished by a cloudburst, with the following general rules applying:

• Permanent magical fires will re-light in 1-2 rounds. Small, rekindlable magical fires such as that of a flame tongue sword will be affected only during the actual cloudburst.

• Spells such as produce fire and burning hands will be negated. Large-area spells such as fireball, flame strike, wall of fire, etc., will, in the course of being extinguished, vaporize the rain into a cloud of steam covering an area four times as large as the spell's area of effect (i.e., a cylinder of up to 12" in diameter and as much as 24" high). This steam will inflict 1-3 points of damage per round on normal creatures within its area, and will do twice that damage to cold-dwelling or cold-using creatures. The cloud of steam will persist for 2-5 rounds, half that if a breeze is blowing, or only 1 round if a strong wind is blowing.

In arid regions, the cloudburst will act only as a double-strength Precipitation spell. In hot and humid areas, the duration of the spell will be extended to 2 rounds. In areas with a temperature between 33º and 31ºF. inclusive, sleet rather than rain will fall, with ice and slush being formed when it accumulates. In temperatures of 30ºF. and lower, the cloudburst becomes a snowburst, with one inch of snow per segment falling. The material components for the spell are powdered silver and powdered iodine crystals.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is identical to the 3rd-level clerical spell of the same name, except that a holy symbol is not part of the material component.)

Detect Illusion (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Line of sight 1" wide, 1"/level long Type: Divination Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the illusionist is able to see an illusion and know it for exactly that. Note that it can be used to enable others to see illusions as unreal if the spell caster touches the creature with both hands and the creature looks at the illusion while so touched. The material component is a piece of yellow tinted crystal, glass, or mica.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is the same as the 1st-level illusionist spell detect illusion, except as noted above.)

Dispel Magic (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 12" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of *Type: Abjuration Source: PH 73 Effect:* 3" cube

Explanation/Description: When a magic-user casts this spell, it neutralizes or negates the magic it comes in contact with as follows: A Dispel Magic will not affect a specially enchanted item such as a scroll, magic ring, wand, rod, staff, miscellaneous magic item, magic weapon, magic shield, or magic armor. It will destroy magic potions (they are treated as 12th level for purposes of this spell), remove spells cast upon persons or objects, or counter the casting of spells in the area of effect. The base chance for success of a Dispel Magic spell is 50%. For every level of experience of the character casting the Dispel Magic above that of the creature whose magic is to be dispelled (or above the efficiency level of the object from which the magic is issuing), the base chance increases by 5%, so that if there are 10 levels of difference, there is a 100% chance. For every level below the experience/efficiency level of the creature/object, the base chance is reduced by 2%. Note that this spell can be very effective when used upon charmed and similarly beguiled creatures. It is automatic in negating the spell caster's own magic.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the third level cleric spell Dispel Magic (q.v.).)

Explosive Runes (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 1" radius Type: Alteration Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: By tracing the mystic runes upon a book, map, scroll, or similar instrument bearing written information, the magic-user prevents unauthorized reading of such. The E xplosive Runes are difficult to detect, 5% per level of magic use experience of the reader, thieves having only a 5% chance in any event, When read, the Explosive Runes detonate, delivering a full 12 to 30 (6d4 + 6) hit points of damage upon the reader, who gets no saving throw, and either a like amount, or half that if saving throws are made, on creatures within the blast radius. The magic-user who cast the spell, as well as any other magic-users he or she instructs, can use the instrument without triggering the runes. Likewise, the magic-user can totally remove them whenever desired. They can otherwise be removed only by a Dispel Magic spell, and the Explosive Runes last until the spell is triggered. The instrument upon which the runes are placed will be destroyed when the explosion takes place unless it is not normally subject to destruction by magical fire.

Feign Death (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment Duration: 6 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Necromantic} Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the caster or any other creature whose levels of experience/hit dice do not exceed the magic-user's own level can be put into a cataleptic state which is impossible to distinguish from actual death. Although the person/creature affected by the Feign Death spell can smell, hear, and know what is going on, no feeling or sight of any sort is possible; thus, any wounding or mistreatment of the body will not be felt and no reaction will occur and damage will be only one-half normal. In addition, paralysis, poison, or energy level drain will not affect the individual/creature under the influence of this spell, but poison injected or otherwise introduced into the body will become effective when the spell recipient is no longer under the influence of this spell, although a saving throw is permitted. Note that only a willing individual can be affected by Feign Death. The spell caster is able to end the spell effects at any time desired, but it requires 1 full round for bodily functions to begin again.

Fireball (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 10" + 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 2" radius sphere Type: Evocation Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: A Fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low roar, and delivers damage proportionate to the level of the magic-user who cast it, i.e. 1 six-sided die (d6) for each level of experience of the spell caster. Exception: magic Fireball wands deliver 6 die fireballs (6d6), magic staves with this capability deliver 8 die Fireballs, and scroll spells of this type deliver a Fireball of from 5 to 10 dice (d6 + 4) of damage. The burst of the Fireball does not expend a considerable amount of pressure, and the burst will generally conform to the shape of the area in which it occurs, thus covering an area equal to its normal spherical volume. (The area which is covered by the Fireball is a total volume of roughly 33,000 cubic feet [or yards]). Besides causing damage to creatures, the Fireball ignites all combustible materials within its burst radius, and the heat of the Fireball will melt soft metals such as gold, copper, silver, etc. Items exposed to the spell's effects must be rolled for to determine if they are affected. Items with a creature which makes its saving throw are considered as unaffected. The magic-user points his or her finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the Fireball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body prior to attaining the prescribed range, flowers into the Fireball. If creatures fail their saving throws, they all take full hit point damage from the blast. Those who make saving throws manage to dodge, fall flat or roll aside, taking half the full hit point damage--each and every one within the blast area. The material component of this spell is a tiny ball composed of bat guano and sulfur.

Flame Arrow (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 segment/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Each arrow/bolt touched Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: Once the magic-user has cast this spell. he or she is able to touch one arrow or crossbow bolt (quarrel) per segment for the duration of the Flame Arrow. Each such missile so touched becomes magic, although it gains no bonuses "to hit". Each such missile must be discharged within 1 round, for after that period flame consumes it entirely, and the magic is lost. Fiery missiles will certainly have normal probabilities of causing combustion. and any creature subject to additional fire damage will suffer +1 hit point of damage from any flame arrow which hits it. The material components for this spell are a drop of oil and a small piece of flint.

Fly (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 turn/level + 1-6 turns Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the magic-user to bestow the power of magical flight. The creature affected is able to move vertically and/or horizontally at a rate of 12" per move (half that if ascending, twice that if descending in a dive). The exact duration of the spell is always unknown to the spell caster, as the 1-6 turns variable addition is determined by the Dungeon Master secretly. The material component of the Fly spell is a wing feather of any bird.

Gust Of Wind (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 segment Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1" path, 1" per level in length Type: Alteration Source: PH 73

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, a strong puff of air originates from the magic-user and moves in the direction he or she is facing. The force of this Gust Of Wind is sufficient to extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. It will cause protected -flames such as those of lanterns to wildly dance and has a 5% chance per level of experience of the spell caster to extinguish even such lights. It will also fan large fires outwards 1' to 6' in the direction of the wind's movement. It will force back small flying creatures 1" to 6" and cause man-sized ones to be held motionless if attempting to move into its force, and similarly slow large flying creatures by 50% for 1 round. It will blow over light objects. Its path is 1" wide by 1" of length per level of experience of the magic-user casting the Gust Of Wind spell i.e. an 8th level magic-user causes a Gust Of Wind which travels 8". The material component of the spell is a legume seed.

Haste (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 6" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4" x 4"area, 1 creature/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, affected creatures function at double their normal movement and attack rates. Thus, a creature moving at 6" and attacking 1 time per round would move at 12" and attack 2 times per round. Spell casting is not more rapid. The number of creatures which can be affected is equal to the level of experience of the magic-user, those creatures closest to the spell caster being affected in preference to those farther away, and all affected by Haste must be in the designated area of effect. Note that this spell negates the effects of a Slow spell (see hereafter). Additionally, this spell ages the recipients due to speeded metabolic processes. Its material component is a shaving of licorice root.

Hold Person (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V Range: 12" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One to four persons Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: This spell holds immobile, and freezes in places, from 1-4 humans or humanoid creatures (see below) for 5 or more melee rounds. The level of the magic-user casting the Hold Person spell dictates the length of time the effect will last. The basic duration is 5 melee rounds at 1st level, 6 rounds at 2nd level, 7 rounds at 3rd level, etc. If the spell is cast at three or four persons, each gets a saving throw at the normal score; if only two persons are being enspelled, each makes their saving throw at -1 on their die; if the spell is cast at but one person, the saving throw die is at -3. Persons making their saving throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Partial negation of a Hold Person spell, such as would be possible by a ring of spell turning, causes the spell to function as a Slow spell (q.v.) unless the saving throw is successful. Creatures affected by a Hold Person spell are: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, and troglodytes. The spell caster needs a small, straight piece of iron as the material component of this spell.

(Original Explanation/Description: Similar to the second level cleric Hold Person (q.v.). this spell immobilizes creatures, within range, as designated by the magic-user. If three or four persons are attacked, their saving throws are normal; but if two are attacked, their saving throws are made at -1 and if only one creature is attacked, the saving throw versus the Hold Person spell is made at -3 on the die. Partial negation of a Hold Person spell, such as would be possible by a ring of spell turning, causes the spell to function as a Slow spell (q.v.) unless the saving throw is successful. Creatures affected by the spell are: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, and troglodytes.)

Infravision (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 2 turns + 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the magic-user enables the recipient of Infravision to see light in the infrared spectrum. Thus, differences in heat wave radiations can be seen up to 6". Note that strong sources of infrared radiation (fire, lanterns, torches, etc.) tend to blind or cast "shadows" just as such light does with respect to normal vision, so the infravision is affected and does not function efficiently in the presence of such heat sources. (Invisible creatures are not usually detectable by infravision, as the infrared light waves are affected by invisibility, just as those of the ultraviolet and normal spectrums are.) The material component of this spell is either a pinch of dried carrot or an agate.

Invisibility, 10' Radius (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' radius of creature touched Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: This spell causes the recipient to vanish from sight and not be detectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced with respect to noises normal to it. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, or the magic-user or the other recipient cancels it or until he, she or it attacks any creature. Thus, the spell caster or recipient could open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc., but if any form of attack is made, the invisible creature immediately becomes visible, although this will allow the first attack by the creature because of the former invisibility. Even the allies of the spell recipient cannot see the invisible creature, or his, her or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Note that all highly intelligent creatures with 10 or more hit dice, or levels of experience, or the equivalent in intelligence/dice/levels have a chance to automatically detect invisible objects. The material components of the Invisibility, 10' Radius spell are an eyelash and a bit of gum arabic, the former encased in the latter.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is essentially the same as Invisibility (q.v.). Those affected by it cannot see each other. Those affected creatures which attack negate the invisibility only with respect to themselves, not others made invisible, unless the spell recipient causes the spell to be broken.)

Item (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 6 turns/level (Duration quadrupled if used on non-living material) Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 2 cu. ft. per level of caster Type: Alteration Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user is able to touch any normal, non-magical item of a size appropriate to the allowable area of effect and cause it to shrink to one-twelfth of its normal size. Optionally, the caster can also change its now-shrunken composition to a cloth-like one. Only living things are entitled to a saving throw versus spell, but each such save is at +4. Objects and creatures transformed to cloth make saving throws normally (as if not altered) against subsequent attacks. Objects changed by an Item spell can be returned to normal composition and size merely by tossing them onto any solid surface or by word of command from the original spell caster. It is possible to affect a fire and its fuel with this spell.

Leomund's Tiny Hut (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' diameter sphere Type: Alteration Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user causes an opaque sphere of force to come into being around his or her person, half of the sphere projecting above the ground or floor surface, the lower hemisphere passing through the surface. This field causes the interior of the sphere to maintain at 70 degrees F. temperature in cold to 0 degrees F., and heat up to 105 degrees F. Cold below 0 degrees lowers inside temperature on a 1 degree for 1 degree basis, heat above 105 degrees raises the inside temperature likewise. The Tiny Hut will withstand winds up to 50 m.p.h. without being harmed, but wind force greater than that will destroy it. The interior of the Tiny Hut is a hemisphere, and the spell caster can illuminate it dimly upon command, or extinguish the light as desired. Note that although the force field is opaque from positions outside, it is transparent from within. In no way will Leomund's Tiny Hut provide protection from missiles, weapons, spells, and the like. Up to 6 other man-sized creatures can fit into the field with its creator, and these others can freely pass in and out of the Tiny Hut without harming it, but if the spell caster removes himself from it, the spell will dissipate. The material component for this spell is a small crystal bead which will shatter when spell duration expires or the hut is otherwise dispelled.

Lightning Bolt (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 4" + 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: Special Type: Evocation Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: Upon casting this spell, the magic user releases a powerful stroke of electrical energy which causes damage equal to 1 six-sided die (d6) for each level of experience of the spell caster to creatures within its area of effect, or 50% of such damage to such creatures which successfully save versus the attack form. The range of the bolt is the location of the commencement of the stroke, i.e. if shot to 6", the bolt would extend from this point to n inches further distance. The Lightning Bolt will set fire to combustibles, sunder wooden doors, splinter up to 1' thickness of stone, and melt metals with a low melting point (lead, gold, copper, silver, bronze). Saving throws must be made for objects which withstand the full force of a stroke (cf. fireball). The area of the Lightning Bolt 's effect is determined by the spell caster, just as its distance is. The stroke can be either a forking bolt 1" wide and 4" long. or a single bolt 1/2" wide and 8" long. If a 12th level magic-user cast the spell at its maximum range, 16" in this case, the stroke would begin at 16" and flash outward from there, as a forked bolt ending at 20" or a single one ending at 24". If the full length of the stroke is not possible due to the interposition of a non-conducting barrier (such as a stone wall), the Lightning Bolt will double and rebound towards its caster, its length being the normal total from beginning to end of stroke, damage caused to interposing barriers notwithstanding. Example: An 8" stroke is begun at a range of 4", but the possible space in the desired direction is only 3 1/2"; so the bolt begins at the 3 1/2" maximum, and it rebounds 8" in the direction of its creator. The material components of the spell are a bit of fur and an amber, crystal or glass rod.

Material (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S Range: 1" Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 1 cu. ft. per level of caster Type: Evocation-Conjuration Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: A Material spell allows the magic-user to actually bring into being certain common things. There is no great difficulty in causing common basic materials such as stone, earth (soil), or wood to appear. These sorts of materials in raw, unworked form are easily gained by means of this spell. Similarly, other inorganic or non-living materials such as water, air, dung, straw, etc., can be conjured. When simple plants are concerned, such as when the caster attempts to bring into being an area of grass, there is a base 100% chance of total failure, modified downward by 1% per level of the spell caster. Animal life can never be affected by this spell. In no event can worked, refined, or fabricated items be brought into being by a Material spell, nor can tough gems or precious metals. The spell essentially enables the magic-user to create common things of a basic nature.

Material (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 5 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One target per missile Type: Evocation/Alteration Source: UA 55

Explanation/Description: This spell is unusual in two respects. First, the dweomer enables the caster to cast small globes of fire, each of which bursts into a 1 ft. diameter sphere upon impact, inflicting 1-4 points of damage upon the target creature--or otherwise igniting combustible materials (even solid planks). These meteors are missile weapons thrown by the mage, with misses being treated as grenade-like missiles. This ability continues from round to round until the caster has fired off as many of these "meteors" as he or she has levels of experience, until he or she decides to forego casting any additional missiles still remaining, or until a Dispel Magic spell is successfully cast upon the magic-user. Second, once Melf's Minute Meteors is cast, the magic-user has the option to discharge the available missiles at the rate of 1 every 2 segments, as desired, or 1 every round (beginning with the initial round of casting). The magic-user may not switch between these options once one of them is chosen.

In the first option, the caster must point at the desired target on the second segment after the spell is cast, and a missile will be discharged. This process is repeated every 2 segments thereafter until all of the missiles are so released. Naturally, this usually will mean that the spell actually carries over into at least the following round.

If the second option is chosen, the magic-user can withhold or discharge missiles as he or she sees fit, so long as one missile is let go during each subsequent round. This option has the benefit of enabling the spell caster to actually discharge one of the "meteors" and conjure some other spell as well in the same round. The other spell must be of such a nature as to not require the continuing concentration of the spell caster, or else he or she will involuntarily forego the casting of any further missiles from the original spell. However, the magic-user's opportunity to discharge a missile and cast a spell in the same round is of such benefit that the potential loss is not of concern. If the magic-user fails to maintain an exact mental count of the number of missiles remaining, this is an unfailing indication that he or she has involuntarily foregone the remaining portion of the spell.

The components necessary for the casting of this dweomer are nitre and sulphur formed into a bead by the admixture of pine tar, and a small hollow tube of minute proportion, fashioned from gold. The tube costs no less than 1,000 gp to construct, so fine is its workmanship and magical engraving, but it remains potent throughout numerous castings of the spell--unless damaged by accident or abuse.

Monster Summoning I (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: PH 74

Explanation/Description: Within 1-4 rounds of casting this spell, the magic- user will cause the appearance of from 2-8 first level monsters (selected at random by the referee, but whose number may be either randomly determined or selected personally by the referee, according to the strength of the monster randomly determined). These monsters will appear in the spot, within spell range, desired by the magic-user, and they will attack the spell user's opponents to the best of their ability until he or she commands that attack cease, or the spell duration expires, or the monsters ore slain. Note that if no opponent exists to fight, summoned monsters can, if communication is possible, and if they are physically capable, perform other services for the summoning magic-user. The material components of this spell are a tiny bag and a small (not necessarily lit) candle.

Phantasmal Force (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 8" + 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 8 square inches + 1 square inch/level Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user creates a visual illusion which will affect all believing creatures which view the Phantasmal Force, even to the extent of suffering damage from phantasmal missiles or from falling into an illusory pit full of sharp spikes. Note that audial illusion is not a component of the spell. The illusion lasts until struck by an opponent--unless the spell caster causes the illusion to react appropriately--or until the magic-user ceases concentration upon the spell (due to desire, moving, or successful attack which causes damage). Creatures which disbelieve the Phantasmal Force gain a saving throw versus the spell, and if they succeed, they see it for what it is and add +4 to associates' saving throws if this knowledge can be communicated effectively. Creatures not observing the spell effect are immune until they view it. The spell can create the illusion of any object, or creature, or force, as long as it is within the boundaries of the spell's area of effect. This area can move within the limits of the range. The material component of the spell is a bit of fleece.

Protection From Evil, 10' Radius (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10' radius sphere around creature touched Type: Abjuration Reversible Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, it acts as if it were a magical armor upon the recipient. The protection encircles the recipient at a ten foot (10') distance, thus preventing bodily contact by creatures of an enchanted or conjured nature such as aerial servants, demons, devils, djinn, efreet, elementals, imps, invisible stalkers, night hags, quasits, salamanders, water weirds, wind walkers, and xorn. Summoned animals or monsters are similarly hedged from the protected creature. Furthermore, any and all attacks launched by evil creatures incur a penalty of -2 from dice rolls "to hit" the protected creature, and any saving throws caused by such attacks are made at +2 on the protected creature's dice. This spell can be reversed to become Protection From Good, although it still keeps out enchanted evil creatures as well. To complete this spell, the magic-user must trace a 3' diameter circle upon the floor (or ground) with powdered iron and silver.

(Original Explanation/Description: This spell is the same as the first level Protection From Evil spell except with respect to its area of effect. See also the first level cleric Protection From Evil spell for general information.)

Protection From Normal Missiles (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 turn/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Abjuration Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the magic-user bestows total invulnerability to hurled and projected missiles such as arrows, axes, bolts, javelins, small stones and spears. Furthermore, it causes a reduction of 1 from each die of damage inflicted by large and/or magical missiles such as ballista missiles, catapult stones, and magical arrows, bolts, javelins, etc. Note, however that this spell does not convey any protection from such magical attacks as Fireballs, Lightning Bolts, or Magic Missiles. The material component of this spell is a piece of tortoise or turtle shell.

Secret Page (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Until dispelled Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One page of any size up to 2 ft. square Type: Alteration Source: UA 56

Explanation/Description: When cast, a secretpage spell alters the actual contents of a page to appear to be something entirely different. Thus, a map can be changed to become a treatise on burnishing ebony walking sticks; the text of a spell can be altered to show a ledger page or even another form of spell, etc. Confuse languages and explosive runes may be cast upon the secret page, but a comprehend languages will not reveal the actual contents of the secret page. The caster is able to reverse the effect of the spell by the mere utterance of a command word, then peruse the actual page, and return it to its secretpage form thereafter. The caster can also remove the spell by double repetition of the command word. Others noting the dim magic of a page with this spell cloaking its true contents can attempt a dispel magic, but if it fails, the page will be destroyed. Short of an alterreality or wish spell, only will-0-wisp or boggart essence will reveal the true nature of the subject of a secret page spell, if that page is not subjected to dispel magic. The material component of the spell is powdered herring scales.

Sepia Snake Sigil (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1/2" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One sigil Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 56

Explanation/Description: There are three forms of this spell, but each eventually causes the conjuration of a deep brown snake-like force. This so-called sepia snake springs into being and strikes at the nearest living creature (but the sepia snake will not attack the magic-user who cast the spell). Its attack is made as if it were a monster with hit dice equal to the level of the magic-user who cast the dweomer. If it is successful in striking, the victim is engulfed in a shimmering amber field of force, frozen and immobilized until the caster releases the dweomer or until a Dispel Magic spell does so. Until then, nothing can get at the victim, move the shimmering force surrounding him or her, or otherwise affect the field or the victim. The victim does not age, grow hungry, sleep or regain spells when in this state, and is not aware of his or her surroundings. If the sepia snake misses its target, it dissipates in a flash of brown light, with a loud noise and a puff of dun-colored smoke which is 1" in diameter and lasts for 1 round. The three applications are: 1) as a glowing sigil in the air drawn by the spell caster and pointed at the intended target; 2) as a glyph of umber marked on some surface that is touched or gazed upon; and 3) as a small character written into some magic work to protect it. The components for the spell are 100 gp worth of powdered amber, a scale from any snake, and a pinch of mushroom spores.

Slow (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 9" + 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 4" x 4" area, 1 creature/level Type: Alteration Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: A Slow spell causes affected creatures to move and attack at one half of the normal or current rate. Thus, it negates a Haste spell (q.v.), has cumulative effect if cast upon creatures already slowed, and otherwise affects magically speeded or slowed creatures. The magic will affect as many creatures as the spell caster has levels of experience, providing these creatures are within the area of effect determined by the magic-user, i.e. the 4" x 4" area which centers in the direction and at the range called for by the caster. The material component of this spell is a drop of treacle.

Suggestion (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 6 turns + 6 turns/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: One creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast by the magic-user, he or she influences the actions of the chosen recipient by utterance of a few words--phrases, or a sentence or two--suggesting a course of action desirable to the spell caster. The creature to be influenced must, of course, be able to understand the magic-user's suggestion, i.e., it must be spoken in a language which the spell recipient understands. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the action sound reasonable; a request asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act will automatically negate the effect of the spell. However, a suggestion that a pool of acid was actually pure water, and a quick dip would be refreshing, is another matter; or the urging that a cessation of attack upon the magic-user's party would benefit a red dragon, for the group could loot a rich treasure elsewhere through co-operative action, is likewise a reasonable use of the spell's power. The course of action of a Suggestion can continue in effect for a considerable duration, such as in the case of the red dragon mentioned above. If the recipient creature makes its saving throw, the spell has no effect. Note that a very reasonable suggestion will cause the saving throw to be made at a penalty (such as -1, -2, etc.) at the discretion of your Dungeon Master. Undead are not subject to Suggestion. The material components of this spell are a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil.

Tongues (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round /level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 6" diameter circle Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: This spell enables the magic-user to speak the language of any creature inside the spell area, whether it is a racial tongue or an alignment language. The reverse of the spell cancels the effect of the Tongues spell or confuses verbal communication of any sort within the area of effect. T he material component is a small clay model of a ziggurat, which shatters when the spell is pronounced.

(Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as the fourth level cleric spell, Tongues (q.v.). Also, the material component is a small clay model of a ziggurat, which shatters when the spell is pronounced.)

Water Breathing (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 3 turns/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Creature touched Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: The recipient of a Water Breathing spell is able to freely breathe underwater for the duration of the spell, i.e. 3 turns for each level of experience of the magic-user casting the spell. The reverse, Air Breathing, allows water breathing creatures to comfortably survive in the atmosphere for an equal duration. The material component of the spell is a short reed or piece of straw.

(Original Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, and that the material component of the spell is a short reed or piece of straw, this is the same as the third level druid spell, Water Breathing (q.v.).)

Wind Wall (Magic-User Level 3)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 3 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: An area 1" wide and 1/2" high per level of caster Type: Alteration Source: UA 56

Explanation/Description: This spell brings forth an invisible curtain of wind of considerable strength--sufficient to blow birds as large as crows upward, or to tear papers and like materials from unsuspecting hands. (If in doubt, a saving throw versus spell determines whether the subject maintains its grasp.) Normal insects cannot pass such a barrier. Loose material, even cloth garments, caught in a wind wall will fly upward. The material components are a tiny fan and a feather of exotic origin.

MAGIC-USER LEVEL 4

Charm Monster (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S Range: 6" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: Special Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 75

Explanation/Description: This spell is similar to a Charm Person spell (q.v.), but it will affect any living creature--or several creatures of lesser level as explained hereafter. The magic-user casts the Charm Monster spell, and any affected creature regards the spell caster as friendly, an ally or companion to be treated well or guarded from harm. If communication is possible, the charmed creature will follow reasonable requests, instructions, or orders most faithfully (cf. Suggestion spell). Affected creatures will eventually come out from under the influence of the spell, and the probability of such breaking of a Charm Monster spell is a function of the creature's level, i.e. its number of hit dice:

Naturally, overtly hostile acts by the person charming the monster will automatically break the spell, or at the very least allow the monster a new saving throw versus the charm. The spell will affect from 2-8 1st level creatures, 1-4 2nd level creatures, 1 or 2 3rd level, or 1 creature of 4th or higher level.

Confusion (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 2" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Up to 6" x 6" Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: This spell causes Confusion in one or more creatures within spell range. Confused creatures will react as follows:

The spell lasts for 2 rounds plus 1 melee round for each level of experience of the spell caster. It will affect 2-16 creatures, plus a possible additional number of creatures determined by subtracting the level or number of hit dice of the strongest opponent creature within the spell range and area of effect from the level of the magic-user who cast the spell of Confusion. If a positive number results, it is added to the random die roll result for number of creatures affected; a negative number is ignored. All creatures affected will be those closest to the magic-user within the area of effect. Each affected creature must make a saving throw each round, unless they are caused to "wander away for 1 turn" in which case they will go as far away from the magic-user as is possible in one turn of normal movement, as conditions permit. All saving throws are at -2. Confused creatures act according to the table of actions shown above, but saving throws and actions are checked at the beginning of each round. The spell's material component is a set of three nut shells.

(Explanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is identical to the seventh level druid spell, Confusion (q.v.). However, it affects a basic 2-16 creatures. Its material component is a set of three nut shells.)

Dig (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: 5' cube per level of the magic-user Type: Evocation Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: A Dig spell enables the caster to excavate 125 cubic feet of earth, sand, or mud per round. The hole thus dug is a cube 5' per side. The material thrown from the excavation scatters evenly around the pit. If the magic-user continues downward beyond 5', there is a chance that the pit will collapse: 15%/additional 5' in depth in earth, 35%/additional 5' depth in sand, and 55%/additional 5' depth in mud. Any creature at the edge (1') such a pit uses its dexterity score as a saving throw to avoid falling into the hole with a score equal to or less than the dexterity meaning that a fall was avoided. Any creature moving rapidly towards a pit area will fall in unless it saves versus magic. Any creature caught in the center of a pit just dug will always fall in. The spell caster uses a miniature shovel and tiny bucket to activate a Dig spell and must continue to hold these material components while each pit is excavated.

Dimension Door (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V Range: 0 Casting Time:1 segment Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Spell caster Type: Alteration Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: By means of a Dimension Door spell, the magic-user instantly transfers himself or herself up to 3" distance per level of experience of the spell caster. This special form of teleportation allows for no error, and the magic-user always arrives at exactly the spot desired whether by simply visualizing the area (within spell transfer distance, of course) or by stating direction such as "30 inches straight downwards," or "upwards to the northwest, 45 degree angle, 42 inches." If the magic-user arrives in a place which is already occupied by a solid body, he or she remains in the Astral Plane until located by some helpful creature willing to cast a Dispel Magic upon the person, for he or she is stunned and cannot successfully perform any spell casting. If distances are stated and the spell caster arrives with no support below his or her feet (i.e. in mid-air), falling and damage will result unless further magical means are employed. All that the magic-user wears or carries, subject to a maximum weight equal to 5,000 gold pieces of non-living matter, or half that amount of living matter, is transferred with the spell caster. Recovery from use of a Dimension Door spell requires 7 segments.

Dispel Illusion (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S Range: 1/2"/level Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Abjuration Source: UA 56

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the spell caster can dispel any Phantasmal Force--with or without Audible Glamour--cast by a non-illusionist; and the spell has the same chance of dispelling any illusion/phantasm spells of an illusionist as a Dispel Magic spell (q.v.) does but the magic-user casting Dispel Magic is considered at two levels below his actual level, i.e. 50% base chance adjusted by 2% downward, or 5% upward for each level of experience lesser/greater of the magic-user (minus two levels) casting the Dispel Illusion compared to the illusionist casting the spell to be dispelled.

(Original explanation/description: This spell is similar to the 3rd-level illusionist spell of the same name. A magic-user attempting to dispel an illusion is considered at two levels below his actual level with respect to illusion/phantasm spells cast by an illusionist.)

Enchanted Weapon (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: 5 rounds /level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Weapon(s) touched Type: Alteration Reversible Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: This spell turns an ordinary weapon into a magical one, The weapon is the equivalent of a +1 weapon but has no bonuses whatsoever. Thus, arrows, axes, bolts, bows, daggers, hammers, maces, spears, swords, etc. can be made into enchanted weapons. Two small (arrows. bolts, daggers, etc.) or one large (axe, bow, hammer, mace, etc.) weapon can be affected by the spell. Note that successful hits by enchanted missile weapons cause the spell to be broken, but that otherwise the spell duration lasts until the time limit based on the level of experience of the magic-user casting it expires, i.e. 40 rounds (4 turns) in the case of an 8th level magic-user. The material components of this spell are powdered lime and carbon.

Evard's Black Tentacles (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 3" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 30 sq. ft. per level of caster Type: Conjuration/Summoning Source: UA 56

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the caster creates many rubbery, black tentacles in the area of effect of the dweomer. These waving members seem to spring forth from the earth, floor, or whatever surface is underfoot--including water. Each tentacle is 10' long, AC 4, and takes as many points of damage to destroy as the magic-user who cast the spell has levels of experience. Furthermore, there will be one such tentacle for each of the levels of experience of the spell caster. Any creature within range of the writhing tentacles is subject to attack. If more than one target is within range of a tentacle, the probability of attack on each is determined and the result found by die roll. A victim of a tentacle attack must make a saving throw versus spell. If this succeeds, the victim takes 1-4 hit points of damage from initial contact with the tentacle, and it then is destroyed. Failure to save indicates that the damage inflicted will be 2-8 points, the ebony member is wrapped around its victim, and damage will be 3-12 points on the second and succeeding rounds. Since these tentacles have no intelligence to guide them, there is the possibility that they will entwine any object--a tree, post, pillar--or continue to squeeze a dead opponent. Once grasped, a tentacle remains wrapped around its chosen target until the tentacle is destroyed by some form of attack or it disappears due to the expiration of the dweomer's duration. The component for this spell is a piece of tentacle from a giant octopus or giant squid.

Extension I (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V Range: 0 Casting Time:2 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special Type: Alteration Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: By use of an Extension I spell the magic-user prolongs the duration of a previously cast first, second, or third level spell by 50%. Thus, a Levitation spell can be made to function 1 1/2 turns/level, a Hold Person spell made to work for 3 rounds/level, etc. Naturally, the spell has effect only on such spells where duration is meaningful.

Fear (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: Special Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 6" long cone, 3" diameter at end, 1/2" at base Type: Illusion/Phantasm Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: When a Fear spell is cast, the magic-user sends forth an invisible ray which causes creatures within its area of effect to turn away from the spell caster and flee in panic. Affected creatures are likely to drop whatever they are holding when struck by the spell; the base chance of this is 60% at 1st level (or at 1 hit die), and each level (or hit die) above this reduces the probability by 5%, i.e. at 10th level there is only a 15% chance, and at 13th level 0% chance. Creatures affected by Fear flee at their fastest rate for the number of melee rounds equal to the level of experience of the spell caster. The panic takes effect on the melee round following the spell casting, but dropping of items in hand will take place immediately. Of course, creatures which make their saving throws versus the spell are not affected. The material component of this spell is either the heart of a hen or a white feather.

Fire Charm (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1" Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Neg. Area of Effect: 30' diameter of fire Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 76

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the magic-user causes a normal fire source such as a brazier, flambeau, or bonfire to serve as a magical agent, for from this source he or she causes a gossamer veil of multi-hued flame to circle the fire at 5' distance. Any creatures observing the fire or the dancing circle of flame around it must save versus magic or be charmed into remaining motionless and gazing, transfixed at the flames. While so charmed, creatures are subject to Suggestion spells of 12 or fewer words, saving against their influence at -3. The Fire Charm is broken by any physical attack upon the charmed creature, if a solid object is interposed between the creature and the veil of flames so as to obstruct vision, or when the duration of the spell is at an end. Note that the veil of flame is not a magical fire, and passing through it incurs the same type and amount of damage as would be sustained from passing through its original fire source. The material component for this spell is a small piece of multicoloured silk of exceptional thinness which the dweomer crafter must throw into the fire source.

Fire Shield (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 0 Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 2 rounds + 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Personal Type: Evocation-Alteration Source: PH 77

Explanation/Description: By casting this spell the magic-user appears to immolate himself or herself, but the flames are thin and wispy shedding light equal only to half that of a normal torch (15' radius of dim light), and coloured blue or green if variation A is cast, violet or blue if variation B is employed. Any creature striking the spell caster with body or hand-held weapons will inflict normal damage upon the magic-user, but the attacker will take double the amount of damage so inflicted! The other spell powers depend on the variation of the spell used: A) The flames are hot, and any cold-based attacks will be saved against at +2 on the dice, and either half normal damage or no damage will be sustained, fire-based attacks are normal, but if the magic-user fails to make the required saving throw (if any) against them, he or she will sustain double normal damage. The material component for this variation is a bit of phosphorous. B) The flames are cold, and any fire-based attack will be saved against at +2 on the dice, and either half normal damage or no damage will be sustained; cold-based attacks are normal, but if the magic-user fails to make the required saving throw (if any) against them, he or she will sustain double normal damage. The material component for this variation is a live firefly or glow worm or the tail portions of 4 dead ones.

Fire Trap (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 rounds Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: Object touched Type: Evocation Source: PH 77

Explanation/Description: Any closable item (book, box, bottle. chest, coffer, coffin, door, drawer, and so forth) is affected by a Fire Trap spell, but the item so trapped cannot have a second spell such as Hold Portal or Wizard Lock placed upon it except as follows: if a Fire Trap / Hold Portal is attempted, only the spell first cast will work, and the other will be negated (both negated if cast simultaneously). If a Fire Trap is cast after a Wizard Lock, the former is negated, if both are cast simultaneously both are negated, and if a Wizard Lock is cast after placement of a Fire Trap there is a 50% chance that both spells will be negated. A Knock spell will not affect a Fire Trap in any way--as soon as the offending party enters/touches, the trap will discharge. The caster can use the trapped object without discharging it. When the trap is discharged there will be an explosion of 5' radius, and all creatures within this area must make saving throws versus magic. Damage is 1-4 hit points plus 1 hit point per level of the magic-user who cast the spell, or one-half the total amount for creatures successfully saving versus magic. The item trapped is NOT harmed by this explosion. There is only 50% of the normal chance to detect a Fire Trap, and failure to remove it when such action is attempted detonates it immediately. To place this spell, the caster must trace the outline of the closure with a bit of sulfur or saltpeter.

Fumble (Magic-User Level 4)

Components: V, S, M Range: 1"/level Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: 1/2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Type: Enchantment/Charm Source: PH 77

Explanation/Description: When a Fumble spell is cast, the magic-user causes the recipient of the magic to suddenly become clumsy and awkward. Running creatures will trip and fall, those reaching for an item will fumble and drop it, those employing weapons will likewise awkwardly drop them. Recovery from a fall or of a fumbled object will typically require the whole of the next melee round. Note that breakable items might suffer damage when dropped. If the victim makes his or her saving throw, the Fumble will simply make him or her effectively operate at one-half normal efficiency (cf. Slow spell). The material component of this spell is a dab of solidified milk fat.

Hallucinatory Terrain (Magic-User Level 4)
