Introduction
Yes, that’s right. It’s yet another collection
of 99 new OGL spells from the good folks at Plain
Brown Wrapper Games. Use them in whatever foul,
depraved way you like best.
We have esoteric arcana, lost rites, creepy
private rituals and invocations by the barrel. And all
for less than six bucks! That’s your best value on the
dollar for unsavory occult weirdness. At prices like
this, you could buy the whole series and slurp down
blasphemous secrets and forbidden lore until you
burst.
How can I afford to give you so much high
quality product for such an incredibly low-low price?
It’s easy! I’ve got a day job, I think… (Can anyone tell
me, does kidnapping boy-bands on the high seas and
trading them to corrupt officials for tainted rum and
Pokemon cards count as a job? And if not, how do I
deduct all those N’Synch albums on my taxes?)
What Sinister Purpose
Guides This Book?
My guiding principle in creating this book
was to give you new spells that you could use without
having to change much else. New magical techniques
that you could drop into any campaign, either by
themselves or in a group, without sending game
balance off the rails. Ways to expand the options
available to spellcasters without screwing up the
balance of power between the various classes. Or, to
put it another way, cool stuff that won’t cause you
extra hassles.
This book is supposed to be a jumbled-up
toybox of random occult fun, for you to pick and
choose from as you like. It wasn’t my intention to
either replace the existing magic system (my basically
lazy nature recoils at the very thought of doing that
much work) or to force you to buy all the other books
in this series. Although it would be great if you did
buy them. Ideally, you should be able to bring all of
these spells into your campaign or, if you prefer, just
one.
To make this approach work, I’ve tried to
have as few new game mechanics cluttering up the
rules as possible, and never to have a spell that can’t
be used without adopting some other spell from the
collection.
One of the effects of doing things this way is
that we don’t have the same number of spells for all
the different spellcasting classes. Since these spells
are meant to supplement the existing set, rather than
replace it altogether, there’s no need for me to make
sure that there are, for example, as many 3rd level
Ranger spells as Bard Spells, or that Clerics get the
same number of 4th level offensive spells as Wizards,
or anything like that. Frankly, this approach works
better from a creative standpoint and ensures that you
get only my best material, since I’m spending less
time worrying about filling in all the blanks properly
and more about coming up with stuff you’ll think is
cool.
Another and perhaps less welcome effect of
taking this approach is that I may have to repeat
myself a lot during the course of the book. I want you
to be able to adopt these spells piecemeal. I don’t
want you to have to dig through the book looking for
another spell description in order to figure out how the
one you want works. None of this stuff: “Greater
Thramfobulation works just like Lesser
Thramfobulation (see page 496) except that it has a
lower Thramfobule Flunxion Cost (see the description
of the spell Least Thramfobulation on page 3 but
ignore the part about gnomes—it’s a typo).”
This means that you may see me describe
how an effect like Invisibility or Mental Domination
works five or six times, rather than just referring you
to another section. I apologize in advance if you find
that annoying. I frankly thought it would be more
annoying to make you constantly rifle through the
pages. This way it’s more work for me but less for
you, just as it ought to be.
Are These Spells Open Game
Content?
Certainly! Use ‘em in your own published
work however you please. You have purchased them
and now they are yours (although come to think of it,
some of you haven’t actually purchased your copies at
all—but that’s a topic for another time). I would
certainly appreciate it if you mention me in the credits,
but apart from that the only thing I might take issue
with is if someone tried to publish them in their own
collection of spells (Nasty Arcana and Unauthorized
Invocations, or some such).
But.. I Still Don’t Have
Enough Blasphemous
Secrets and Forbidden Lore
What? Still not satisfied?! Yeesh, is there
no end to your thirst for Blasphemous Secrets and
Forbidden Lore? Well, that’s all right. We
understand your monstrous cravings, even if we can’t
approve. So we’re bringing out another collection,
entitled “Still More Blasphemous Secrets and
Forbidden Lore” in just a few short weeks. Promise
us you won’t do anything rash before then.

Ace of Swords
Transmutation
Level: 4th Bard, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Area: 10 by 10 foot square
Duration: The spell itself lasts for 1 round per caster
level (but the effect is Instant, once triggered)
Saving Throw: Reflexes Negates
Spell Resistance: no
Description: Enchants a playing card and turns it into
a throwing weapon. For some reason the spell only
seems to work on aces. You throw the card at a
particular 10 by 10 foot square, and it rapidly expands
when it reaches the target, slicing neatly across the
square and effectively attacking anything inside it.
Anyone caught in the target square must
make a Reflexes Saving Throw vs. DC 15 or take 3d8
Slashing damage as the pane slices through their body.
If the caster rolls a critical hit, they can pick one target
who failed their saving throw to be slit cleanly in half,
and killed outright. There may be some really alien
monsters (for instance totally amorphous beings like
oozes, puddings and so forth) who aren’t particularly
inconveninced by being sliced in half. Anyone else is
extremely dead. The card then returns to its normal
size and drops to the floor, spattered with blood. The
caster is free to announce that they have won this hand
and collect their winnings from the corpses. No one is
likely to want to accuse them of cheating. The spell
must be re-cast for the card to be used again.
Only a real ace from an actual deck of cards
is safe to use. If the caster just draws an ace on a
piece of paper or uses a different card, there is a 40%
chance that the spell will fail to work (the caster will
only know the spell has failed when they fling the card
and watch it fall harmlessly to the ground or bounce
off an amused would-be target) and a 20% chance that
the spell will go off in the caster’s hand, attacking
everything in his/her square instead of the target’s.
If the caster uses an innapropriate or an
improvised card and the spell goes off prematurely,
the DM should make a “to-hit” roll, purely for the
purposes of determining whether or not the card gets a
critical hit and cuts them in half.
Alleviate Curse
Abjuration
Level: 2nd Bard, 2nd Cleric, 3rd Paladin, 3rd
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Works exactly like Remove Curse, but it
will only suppress the curse until the next sunrise.
Once the sun rises or 24 hours have elapsed,
whichever happens first, the curse will return in full
force. This time limit holds true even if the spell is
cast deep underground, or somewhere else that it is
impossible to see the sunrise.
If someone uses a diviniation spell on the
target to see if they are cursed, while the "Alleviate
Curse" spell is still in effect, they must make an
Intelligence Roll vs. DC 15. If they succeed, they can
tell both that the subject is laboring under a curse and
that it has been temporarily repressed. If they fail, the
subject does not appear to be cursed, yet there is
something funny about them--something not quite
right. True Seeing immediately tells the whole story.
Annihilate Evil
Transmutation [good]
Level: 4th Cleric
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level or until the first
time the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless--but see
the description)
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: A more powerful version of "Smite
Evil", with some additional side effects. The next
time the subject successfully scores a hit against an
Evil target, the blow will do an additional +4d6
damage, and require them to make a Willpower
Saving Throw or become Stunned. The extra damage
will be of whatever type the blow would normally do,
but it will never be non-lethal.
If the subject is striking for non-lethal
damage, the extra 4d6 will probably come in the form
of Bludgeoning damage, but there could be situations
(depending on the attack) where it could be something
else. This is a matter for the DM to adjudicate.
The extra damage cannot be held back or
kept in reserve. The next time a blow connects with an
evil creature, the target automatically takes the full
extra damage.
The spell can be placed an anyone,
regardless of their alignment, but at the DM's
discretion an Evil character may accidentally hurt
themselves if they have the spell on while they are
trying to get rid of a hangnail or extract a splinter.
It cannot be paced on a weapon or an inanimate
object, but it can be placed on golems and other
constructs, despite their Spell Immunity.
Evil creatures and characters react to anyone
under this enchantment at a -4, instinctively hating
them without knowing why. Good characters react to
them at a +2.
Anti-Abjuration
Abjuration
Level: 4th Cleric, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One creature, selected by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Strengthens any one creature who could
normally be affected by abjuration spells (outsiders
and certain types of undead, for example), giving them
a +2 bonus to resist. Neither the caster nor the
subject’s alignment have any effect on the spell. An
evil character can cast it on a good creature, a good
character can cast in on a neutral or evil creature, a
lawful character can cast it on a chaotic creature, etc.
However, at the DM’s discretion some deities might
take offense at one of their clerics casting this spell on
a creature with an opposed alignment. This spell has
no effect on a creature’s resistance to being “turned”
or “rebuked” by a cleric or paladin. It only guards
against actual spells or spell-like effects.
Assume the Spirit of the
Thief
Transmutation [mind-affecting]
Level: 4th Cleric, 6th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 Round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Imbues the subject with the skills of a
master criminal. For the duration of the spell, they
gain a +6 bonus to all Escape Artist, Forgery, Hide,
Innuendo, Move Silently and Open Lock skill rolls.
They also give off a sly, slinking kind of aura which
makes people reluctant to trust them. For the duration
of the spell, they will suffer a –1 penalty to all Bluff
and Diplomacy skill rolls.. The spell’s effect is subtle,
it does not change their appearance or voice, it just
makes people perceive them as less trustworthy.
Aura of Mystery
Enchantment (Charm)
Level: 2nd Bard, 2nd C 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (but the target can
only roll to resist the spell if they are aware that it is a
magical effect)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster cloaks themselves in a
fascinating, indefinable air of the mysterious. They
come and go without anyone noticing them, shadows
seem to gather on their face even in daylight, their
voice sounds strange and somehow otherworldly. It is
difficult to say how or why, but everything they say or
do seems shadowy, portentous and intriguing (which
makes this spell extremely sought after by the leaders
of low-rent teenage “vampire” covens).
For the duration of the spell the caster (or
whoever they have cast it on) will enjoy a +4 bonus to
Bluff, Diplomacy, Performance, Move Silently and
Concealment rolls. This bonus will stack with other
non-magical bonuses based on things like stats, skill
and circumstances, but it will not add to bonuses the
character has gained from another spell. In a case
where a character has more than one skill-enhancing
spell cast on them at a time, use the highest bonus,
rather than combining them.
People will react to them at anywhere from a
+2 to a -2, depending on how the NPC feels about
magic and the mysterious. The DM should adjudicate
this carefully, taking into account what they know
about the individual's personality, culture and the
circumstances under which they encounter the
spellcaster. Pimply 16 year old girls who are taking
AP English react may react a +3 or more.
Black Beneficence
Transmutation [Evil]
Level: 2nd Evil, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One fruit-bearing tree per caster level,
Duration: Indefinite
Saving Throw: See description
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: The caster enchants one fruit-bearing
tree per caster level, causing it to yield three times as
much fruit as usual. This doesn’t happen instantly—
the new fruit must grow at the normal rate. Within a
day any fruit already on the tree has grown
exceptionally huge and luscious, although prone to
peculiar flaws and blemishes. The fruit tastes just
slightly too sweet and a little too juicy for some
people.
From the moment the spell is first cast, the
fruit bears a subtle curse, and will erode the health of
anyone whose soul isn’t pledged to the forces of
darkness. Whenever a good or neutral character eats a
piece of that fruit, they must make a Fortitude Saving
Throw or lose a point of Constitution. One bite is
enough to force them to make the roll (although not if
they spit it out). If they stop eating a piece of affected
fruit and pick it up again later, they still only need to
make one roll.
Evil characters, on the other hand, thrive on
the tainted fruit. Every time an Evil character eats a
piece, they regain 1 lost hit point or one lost
characteristic point (their choice), if they are missing
any. They must consume the entire fruit to enjoy the
benefits. This takes a full round.
Juice or wine from the fruit has the same
effect. A character must consume a full pint within
one hour to enjoy or suffer the spell’s effect.
Both the fruit and the affected trees will test
positive for both evil and magic, as will any products
made from them. but a Detect Poison spell will not
reveal anything amiss.
Remove Curse will cure a victim of the fruit,
and dispel magic or Remove Curse will undo the spell
entirely if it is cast on the enchanted orchard (although
it won’t cure anyone who isn’t physically present at
the casting).
Focus: A tree or trees.
Blind-Strike
Transmutation
Level: 1st Ranger, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: Indefinite. Lasts until the first time the
spell effect is triggered.
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Negates the usual penalty to attack in
total darkness, to make an attack while blinded or to
strike a target that is invisible or behind you. This
spell does not improve your Armor Class, or negate
the bonus that an opponent gains for striking you from
behind. It is an purely offensive spell. It applies to
only one attack, but once the spell has been cast on
you, it doesn't have to be used immediately--you can
hold it until you need it or the duration runs out.
It's not possible to cast the spell on someone
multiple times and give them multiple strikes. You
can only have it cast on you again after you have used
it up.
The caster does not have a spell slot tied up
the whole time the spell is running. They will regain
1st level spells normally if the spell lasts longer than a
day.
Focus: Diagram painted on the subject’s forehead. If
this gets rubbed off or otherwise obliterated (this
happens purely at the DM’s discretion) the spell’s
effect is lost.
Bloodpower
Universal
Level: 6th Cleric, 5th Druid, 7th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Unlimited
Target: Affects one die roll, made on the following
round.
Duration: 1 round (see the Description)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: no
Description: The caster expends some of their blood
to control the whims of fate. To cast this spell they
must use some sharp implement to open up one of
their veins (biting yourself is not recommended, as it
takes an extra Standard Action and causes an addition
hit point to chew through your own flesh) and call out
imprecations to whatever unclean forces secretly rule
the cosmos. Amused by this grotesque and pathetic
display, the Lords of Fate deign to answer their prayer.
For every two hit points that pours out of
their veins, the caster can influence one die roll on the
following round by a single point, either up or down,
to a maximum equal to their level divided by two. The
caster must specify which roll they intend to influence
at the time the spell is cast. If nobody actually makes
that particular roll, the spell is lost.
If the caster is willing to spend an hour prior
to casting the spell on painting a big (10 by 10 foot)
weird design on the ground and on themselves,
chanting and shrieking and dancing wildly the whole
time, they can reduce the cost to 1 pt for every 1 hit
point spent.
Please note that the effects of the spell aren’t
immediately obvious. All the screaming and bleeding
and self-mutilation will certainly look strange and
unpleasant, but there are no blatantly magical special
effects associated with the spell. No glowing eyes or
voices from the clouds or bolts of energy shooting
anywhere. This can make it hard to tell whether you’re
dealing with a sorcerer or a maniac, but then again
isn’t it always?
Experience Point Cost: 50 per hp expended
Bridge of Blackness
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 4th Evil, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: Creates a bridge, 10 feet in width and up to 10
feet per caster level in length
Duration: 2 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: no
Description: Creates a bridge out of solid shadows.
The bridge is 10 feet wide and up to ten feet times the
caster’s level in length. The bridge weighs effectively
nothing, and can hold up to five hundred pounds times
the caster’s level. If at any point the total weight
placed anywhere on its length exceeds that limit, the
bridge winks out of existence and everything on it
falls.
If the bridge is placed between two crumbly,
unstable surfaces, and the total weight of everyone
passing across it exceeds the amount one of those
surfaces can bear, then that end of the bridge tears lose
and the whole thing vanishes. Anyone within ten feet
of an end-point can make a Jump roll vs. DC 20 to
leap to safety.
The bridge can slope up or down to reach a
point above or below the place where it is cast,
although the DM should feel free to demand climbing
rolls and impose other inventive cruelties on the player
characters if the bridge slopes at an angle of sixty
degrees or greater.
The bridge does not look wholesome,
comprised as it is out of pulsing congealed darkness
and both its slippery surface and its total lack of
handrails make climbing it a daunting prospect. But
this is not its worst feature. It will not bear any person
or creature that isn’t evil across its length. If a good or
neutral creature attempts to cross it (including sentient
magical items or items that have alignments), the
bridge lets them get ten feet across and then opens up
beneath their feet, letting them plunge through it to
their doom.
Constructs are not affected, but non-
intelligent animals and plants are. This can cause
problems if an evil character attempts to ride a horse
or other beast of burden across the bridge. An evil
character riding a neutral animal has their mount
dropped out from under them, but does not fall
themselves. The mount falls through the bridge, but it
remains solid to the rider. A rider who is somehow
tied or otherwise attached to their mount gets dragged
down with it anyway. It’s the DM’s call as to what
qualifies, but just wearing stirrups isn’t enough to
cause a problem.
Burning Coin
Transmutation [flame]
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 feet per caster level, can also be cast via
Scrying
Target: One coin, anyone who touches it and anyone
in a 15 foot radius of them when they do. See the
Description.
Duration: Lasts until triggered. Can only be triggered
once. Then it must be re-cast
Saving Throw: Reflexes save halves the damage
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Enchants a gold coin so that the next
time someone picks it up, it explodes in their hand,
doing 3d6 Piercing damage to them and 1d6 Piercing
damage to anyone in a 5 foot radius. A Reflexes
Saving Throw halves the damage.
This spell can only be triggered by picking
the coin up by hand. Wearing a glove or a gauntlet
offers no protection (unless it has Damage Resistance
that works against heat).
Only a coin can be enchanted in this way
and then only a gold coin. Counterfeit money does
not work. Nor do the gigantic coins used by creatures
like giants and titans. The coin must be no larger than
five inches across (which is one heck of a big gold
coin). If a caster attempts to put this spell on an
inappropriate object, it isn’t lost, it just fails to work.
Call on the Power of
Darkness
Evocation [Evil]
Level: 7th Cleric, 7th Evil, 7th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 10 feet per caster level
Target: Radius effect, always centered on the caster
Duration: 1 round per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Any Abjuration spells cast against Evil
targets within the spell's radius of effect suffer a -4
penalty. Spells like Dispel Magic or Remove Curse
suffer the same penalty if used against spells that were
set in place by an Evil caster. This spell does not
affect Abjurations that don't require any kind of dice
roll.
The penalty applies equally whether the
character casting the Abjuration is Good, Evil or
Neutral. The alignment that matters is the alignment
of the abjuration's target. It can even work against
Abjurations cast by its own caster, so be careful about
using this spell anywhere you plan on summoning
demons.
This makes the mechanics of the spell seem
more complicated than they are, so perhaps an
example would help clarify things. Let us suppose
that the evil wizard Malgigigus sends a thief to steal
some magic item from the lair of his arch-rival, the
wicked sorceress known as La Strega Norca. La
Strega catches the thief as he is poking around her
filthy cave, and turns him into a toad. The toad comes
hopping back to Malgigius' dread tower, where the
evil wizard has just finished casting "Call on the
Power of Darkness", as part of some other nefarious
scheme. When Malgigius attempts to cast Dispel
Magic on the toad to return the luckless creature to its
original form, the evil wizard finds to his chagrin that
he will suffer a -4 penalty to the roll, thanks to the
spell that he himself has cast on his tower.
Copy Scent
Illusion (Glamer) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 1st Druid, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, can also use a
Material Component--typically some object that
belonged to the character whose scent is being copied.
See Description.
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower disbelieves
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Perfectly copies the personal smell of
one other creature. This gives the caster (or the spell's
Target, if it is cast on someone else) a +1 on any
attempts to impersonate that creature with a disguise
roll. It gives them a +4 bonus for any animal handling
rolls made to control animals that belong to the
creature who is being impersonated (provided the
animal doesn't hate its master, as a devious DM may
feel free to decide). A clever player can no doubt
think up all kinds of other ways to use it during
roleplay. The DM should feel free to give out other
small bonuses where they seem appropriate to the
situation.
It is possible to cast this spell on an
unwilling target, in which case they are entitled to a
Willpower Saving Throw. In order to mimic another
creature's smell, the spellcaster must either be
personally familiar with it (that is, they must have at
some point stood close enough to the creature they are
impersonating to smell them, and must then be able to
make an Int roll vs. DC 15 to recall the scent properly)
or they must have some item that belongs to them, or
they must know the creature's true name.
It is up to the DM to decide what happens if
the caster tries to impersonate a scent from memory
and fails their Int roll. It probably just reduces their
bonuses, but it may have more embarrassing effects as
well, if it seems appropriate.
Crush Goodness
Transmutation [evil]
Level: 2nd Cleric, 2nd Evil
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level or until the first
time the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The target’s next blow will do an extra
2d6 damage to any Good character. This effect cannot
be held back. The next time the subject hits a “good”
being (within the spell’s duration) they will do 2d6
extra damage to them, no matter what. This happens
even if the spell’s subject is trying to pull their punch
or to do nonlethal damage. The effect is only
triggered by actually connecting with an evil target.
The extra damage takes the form of whichever type of
damage the attack normally does. If it is a piercing
attack then it does piercing damage. If it’s a slashing
attack then it does slashing damage. If the attack does
mixed types of damage then the extra dice apply to
whichever type the attack does more of, or whichever
the DM thinks is more appropriate. This spell does
not have any effect on damage that is done by other
spells. It only enhances actual physical attacks.
Curse of the Black Moon
Necromancy
Level: 4th Bard, 4th Cleric, 4th Druid, 5th
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus, Divine focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Circular area of effect, radiating outward
from the spellcaster. Only affects lycanthropes. See
the Description
Duration: Lasts until negated by a Cure Disease or
Remove Curse spell
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates, but there is a -4
penalty to the roll.
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Infects lycanthropes with a hideous
wasting disease. If the target fails their saving throw
(and remember that they suffer a -4 penalty), they
immediately lose 1pt of Constitution and will lose
another one each day until they die or receive a Cure
Disease or a Remove Curse spell (very powerful spells
like Limited Wish will also work). Once the spell’s
effect is broken, the victim will recover their lost
characteristic points at the rate of one per day.
The effects of the spell are extremely
gruesome. The victim bleeds constantly through their
skin, mouth and eyes. A buzzing, whispering sound
surrounds them, and some people claim to hear voices
muttering terrible things in it (while this may let other
characters know that the victim’s condition is
supernatural, it doesn’t have any other game effect).
After the second day these effects become so
pronounced that all creatures react to the Lycanthrope
at a –2 penalty, regardless of what form the
shapeshifter wears. After the fifth day, the penalty
grows to a –4 and any creature who encounters them
will intuitively know at once that they are cursed.
Any other Lycanthrope who comes into
contact with the victim must themselves make a
Fortitude Saving Throw (at no penalty) or become
afflicted with the same ailment. This disease is
extremely contagious. Coming within ten feet of an
infected character for one round is enough to merit a
Saving Throw.
Once a particular Lycanthrope has resisted
infection, they can no longer be infected by that one
particular carrier, but they can still get it from
someone else who the carrier has infected.
As you can see, the curse of the Black Moon
can run through an entire community of lycanthropes
like wildfire. Everyone who contracts the disease
must be cured individually, unless the original carrier
receives a Remove Curse and a Cure Disease, in
which case the whole plague lifts and everyone can
start to recover their lost Constitution points at the
normal rate. If the original carrier is already dead, then
the spells can be cast over their mortal remains for the
same effect.
Please note that while this spell only affects
were-creatures, the disease can be transmitted between
different types of were-beast. A were-rat can infect a
were-tiger who can infect a were-woodchuck who can
infect a were-shrub, etc.
Curse of He Who Walks in
Shadow
Transmutation [Darkness]
Level: 3rd Bard, 3rd Cleric, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Lasts until negated by a Dispel Magic or
Remove Curse spell
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: If the target fails their saving throw, they
become vulnerable to sunlight. For every round that
all or part of their body remains exposed to the direct
light of the sun, they will take 2d6 nonlethal damage.
If they are rendered unconscious by this damage and
left in the sunlight, they will then lose 1 point of
Constitution per ten minutes until they are rescued or
hit 0 Constitution and die.
It can be difficult to determine precisely
what counts as exposure to direct sunlight. If the DM
is playing with a contentious group and feels that this
would lead to complications and arguments, they
should feel free to simply declare that some squares
are sunlit and some are not. The character
automatically takes damage when they enter or remain
in a sunlit square.
Some resourceful players will try all kinds
of ways to get around this curse, covering their bodies
with greasepaint, walking around under parasols,
wearing smoked lenses and so forth. The DM may or
may not permit these ploys to work--its strictly their
call. However, even if a character does find a way to
walk around in the daylight, they are still impaired by
it, and will make all their rolls at a -2. People will also
react to their strange behavior. Walking around under
a sheet or with some other bizarre means of blocking
the sun in place should count as a least a -2 modifier to
reaction rolls. In a place where vampires are well
known, it could be considerably worse.
Dagger of the Void
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: Creates a magical dagger out of nothing. See
the Description.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: A dagger-shaped wedge of pure black
nothingness appears in the caster's hand. It can be
used like a weapon, and does 1d6 damage. This black
slice of emptiness can pass straight through normal
matter without leaving a mark. It ignores armor
completely and makes Touch Attacks, counting only
AC derived from the target's Dexterity bonus.
Hardness and Damage Resistance still count normally
against it.
Anyone who takes damage from the blade
must make a Fortitude Saving Throw or else be chilled
to the core by the awful and unnatural cold of the void,
and suffer a -2 penalty to all their rolls for the next 1-4
rounds. This effect does not work on the undead or on
other creatures with strong ties to the negative material
or the lower outer planes (it's the DM's call as to
exactly which creatures qualify-a demon or a Night
Hag probably wouldn't be affected, but a Hellhound or
a Lemure might be).
If for some reason a target is struck by more
than one Dagger of the Void, they will be chilled for
the highest period rolled--no matter how many times
they are hit they will not suffer the penalty for more
than four rounds.
If they are struck and then fail their Saving
Throw multiple times on different rounds, the duration
of the most recent blow's chilling effect cancels out
the effect of the one before it. For example, if a
character were struck by the Dagger of the Void,
failed their Saving Throw and were chilled for 4
rounds, and then struck again on the next round, and
chilled for one round, they would only remain chilled
for one more round (unless of course they get struck
again).
It does not require any concentration to
maintain the Dagger of the Void's presence in our
reality, but if the caster is rendered unconscious or
killed, it vanishes back to whatever nighted realm it
comes from. Nor can it be set down or handed to
anyone else. If the caster is somehow forced to drop
the thing, it disappears. The Disarm feat does not
work against the dagger, but a Disarm spell will.
Dampen Magic
Abjuration
Level: 2nd Bard, 2nd Cleric, 3rd Druid, 2nd Paladin,
2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: See the Description
Duration: 2 rounds per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Suppresses the effect of one spell or the
power of one magic item for 2 rounds per caster level.
Once the spell's duration runs out, the magic comes
back. A suppressed spell's duration continues to seep
away while it is dampened. If it expires before the
Dampening spell wears off, it is lost. If a Detect
Magic spell is cast while a Dampening spell is in
effect, the divination will reveal both that magic is
present and that it has been temporarily suppressed.
Dancing Blade
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One sword, dagger or knife
Duration: 4 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No (object)
Description: This spell can be cast on any one-handed
blade, from daggers to the largest one-handed swords.
It will not work on axes, for some technical reason
that Transmuters have difficulty explaining to non-
specialists. Once the spell has been cast on a blade,
the weapon can fight on its own, independently of its
wielder, hovering in mid-air as it parries and strikes.
It takes a standard action to loose the enchanted
weapon to fight on its own, or to retrieve it once its
wielder wants to take it back in hand. The weapon can
be released to fight on its own at any time within the
spell’s duration.
Please note that the spell’s duration begins
at the moment the spell is cast, rather than the first
moment the weapon is used. It doesn’t matter whether
the weapon is fighting on its own, being wielded
directly or resting in scabbard—the spell’s duration
expires at the same rate.
The dancing weapon fights using the base
attack bonus of the wielder who loosed it. While
dancing, it cannot make attacks of opportunity, and the
person who activated it is not considered armed with
the weapon.
While dancing, it takes up the same space as
the activating character and can attack adjacent foes. It
cannot move out of adjacent range. If the weapon is
physically removed from its place by its wielder’s
side, the spell is immediately broken.
The dancing weapon accompanies the
character who activated it everywhere, whether they
move by physical or magical means. If, for example,
they Teleport to a new location, the weapon goes with
them. It is always the character who loosed the
weapon who controls its actions, not the spell-caster.
If the wielder is rendered unconscious or
killed, the weapon will continue attacking the same
target until the target moves out of range or dies. It
will then hover passively in space until someone else
picks it up or the spell’s duration expires.
Deep-Drag-You Down
Evocation [Water]
Level: 2nd Bard, 1st Cleric, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard, 1st
Water
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature, selected by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: The next time the target ventures into
moving water higher than their waist, the water seems
to clutch at them with icy fingers and to whisper their
name. Not only is this gravely upsetting (-4 to any
concentration rolls they make, NPCs make an
immediate morale check) but it does 2d6 subdual
damage as well. No one but the target can hear the
whispering voices or feel the water plucking at them.
If the spell is cast on a four-legged creature,
the water must be up to their belly. The spell does not
work on creatures native to the water, or on beings
who are immune to cold. Damage Resistance against
cold protects against the subdual damage, but natural
toughness does not.
Either a Remove Curse or a Dispel Magic
can take the spell off before the target next ventures
into the water.
Demon Ram
Transmutation
Level: 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 Minute
Range: Touch
Target: One ram, mounted on a ship.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Enchants a ship's ram, giving it a +3
magical “To Hit” bonus and allowing it to do double
damage. This does not affect rolls made to control or
maneuver the ship. Only the actual roll to hit the other
vessel is affected by the bonus.
The spell will work on any size ram, made
from any materials. It will even work on one that has
been improvised on the spot. But it will only work on
the water and only on a ram.
A ram that has been enchanted on a boat and
is then brought ashore loses its magical bonuses. Yet
you could use it to ram a dock, a sea wall, a jetty or
some other land-based object—you just have to do it
from the water. Putting a boat in drydock does not
affect the magic unless you take the ram off the boat.
Demonic Howl
Evocation [evil, fear, mind-affecting]
Level: 3rd Bard, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Every living creature in a 20 foot radius.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster utters a bloodcurdling howl,
so horrible that it can make brave men faint. It is a
hellish, unnatural sound that organic life was clearly
never meant to hear. Every living thing in a 20 foot
radius takes 1d4 non-lethal damage per caster level
(maximum 10d4). If they make a Willpower Saving
Throw, they only take half damage.
Outsiders and the undead are totally
unaffected, as are deaf characters and Clerics who
embrace the Evil Domain and have more than ten
Experience Levels. Any character who has more than
fifteen levels in the Blackguard prestige class not only
takes no damage, they are so heartened by the sound
that they make all attack, morale and Willpower rolls
at a +2 for the next three rounds.
Detect Cheating
Divination
Level: 1st Bard, 1st Cleric, 1st Paladin, 1st
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Free Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: See the Description
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Reveals any form of cheating at any
game of chance, whether magical, psionic or
mundane. Detects any kind of interference that would
violate the rules or the game. It will even detect
cheating if the cheater isn’t physically present during
the game. The spell will detect a drugged horse or a
stacked deck of cards as easily as someone who slips
an extra ace into their hand.
It does not, however, tell the caster ether
who is cheating or how they are doing it. It reveals
absolutely nothing except that someone has unfairly
interfered with the game’s outcome. If for some
reason the caster observes two games simultaneously,
and someone cheats at one of them, the spell will
reveal which game the cheating took place in, but that
is as specific as it gets.
The caster must be able to observe the game
themselves—scrying works perfectly well for this
purpose. The term “observe” a little vague here. The
DM may have to adjudicate special cases where it is
unclear as to whether the caster has actually
“observed” the game or not. As a general set of
guidelines for handling this, overhearing the game
from the next room does count, while reading about it
in the newspaper does not.
This spell must be cast either while the game
in question is actually taking place or else cast just
before and then held in abeyance until the game takes
place (this last option enables the caster to use it to
detect cheating at games like coin tosses or target
shooting, where the actual contest itself may only take
a Standard Action to resolve, which would make it
difficult to correctly time the spell-casting). The spell
can only be held in abeyance for five minutes once it
has been cast, but if a contest that takes longer to
resolve is underway (a horse race, say, or a game of
cards) it will still detect cheating throughout the whole
contest.

Detect Shapeshifter
Divination
Level: 1st Bard, 1st C. 1st Druid, 1st Ranger, 1st
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 40 foot radius, plus 5 feet for every caster
level.
Target: Area: Circular radius of effect, centered on
the spellcaster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: no
Description: Reveals the presence of anyone with the
ability to change their shape, but does not reveal what
their true shape might be. Nor does it reveal whether
or not they currently wear their true form. Nor does it
distinguish between natural shapeshifters and
spellcasters. If the caster concentrates for an
additional round, they can detect the location of any
shapeshifters present, but nothing more than that.
Disarm
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 feet
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: The target must make a Willpower
Saving Throw or drop one weapon. A sentient
magical weapon can elect to use its own Willpower
Saving Throw instead of its master’s. If they are
carrying two or more weapons in their hands, the
caster can decide which weapon they drop. If it is
used on someone who is holding a bow in one hand
and an arrow in the other, it will make them drop the
bow.
Please note that only actual weapons or
items intended for use as weapons can be affected by
this spell. It could be used to make someone drop a
Molotov cocktail, but not a tankard of ale, unless they
picked the tankard up with the specific intent of using
it as weapon (or have already used it as weapon in this
combat). If the target is carrying an item that isn’t
specifically intended for combat but is effectively a
large bludgeoning weapon like a walking stick, a fire
poker or a tree branch, the spell will err on the side of
caution and can be used to compel them to drop the
object whether or not they specifically intend to use it
as a weapon.
A quiver of arrows does not qualify as a
weapon for the purposes of this spell, nor does a bag
full of slingstones or a satchel full of grenades. The
caster can only make the target drop a potion if the
potion directly causes damage to a target. It will not
compel a subject to drop a magic scroll, even if the
scroll has an offensive scroll on it. It will force a target
to drop a magic staff, but not a rod or a wand. Nor
will it force anyone to take off a magic ring or other
piece of magic jewelry. It will force someone to drop a
vial of poison, but only if they are aware that this is
what the vial contains.
If the target of the spell is carrying a weapon
in one hand and a shield in the other, the spellcaster
cannot force them to drop the shield instead of the
weapon, unless the shield is designed to do damage
itself (a spiked buckler, for example).
This spell can be cast via scrying. The caster
does not have to know anything about the target, but
they do have to be able to see or hear them when they
cast the spell.
Doorway Into Pain
Conjuration [teleportation]
Level: B 3rd, W 3rd, Travel 3rd
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Creates a Medium sized teleportation portal
which affects anyone who cares to step through it.
Duration: Lasts for as many rounds as the spellcaster
cares to concentrate on keeping the portal open.. See
the description for more details
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: The caster rips a hole through the
delicate membranes of reality, leaving a jagged red
portal in the air that leads to somewhere else. The
other side isn’t visible—the doorway just looks like a
big wound in the air. The doorway looks big enough
for one Medium sized character to pass through, but a
Large or Huge creature can push its way in—the hole
will stretch and rip to accommodate them.
Like a Teleport spell, the portal can lead to
anywhere on this plane, but it must be somewhere the
caster has seen. The caster can attempt to reach a
location that they’ve never seen with their own eyes, if
they know precisely where it is. However, this
requires an Intelligence roll vs. DC 23. If the caster
fails, the DM is justified to send them anywhere at all.
The portal won’t dump anyone out in the middle of the
sky, on the bottom of the ocean or inside solid matter,
but it could easily lead them into danger.
This spell is hideously painful to cast. It
costs the caster 1 Hit Point per round to keep the
portal open. Each Medium-sized (or smaller) creature
who passes through costs them another hit point.
Large or Huge creatures cost 2 hit points.
Nor is the experience pleasant for those who
travel through the portal. It costs 2d4 points of
Subdual damage to travel this way. For 1-4 rounds
afterwards anyone who passed through is in so much
discomfort that they make all their rolls at a –4 and
automatically fail any attempts to Concentrate.
Creatures that are immune to pain or have no sense of
touch (the undead, for example, or constructs) take no
penalty from passing through the portal.
Unlike most spells that create portals to
other places, the caster cannot pass through the
Doorway Into Pain themselves. It always closes
before they reach it.
Drink the Vampire’s
Blood
Necromancy
Level: 8th Cleric, 7th Death, 8th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: 5 Minutes
Range: Touch
Target: Personal, affects only the caster
Duration: Lasts until the next dawn
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: This unsavory ritual allows the caster to
temporarily assume the powers of a vampire, through
the rather drastic method of drinking their blood.
After performing some complex and unclean
rites to the forces of madness, death, night, etc. the
caster quaffs a full pint of vampire blood (taking care
to munch down any scabs that may be floating in it)
and collapses in a shuddering heap for one round. As
they lie there twitching and spasming, they are unable
to take any action, physical or mental (except perhaps
for thinking “Aaaugh! I just drank a vampire’s
blood!” or who knows “Whoopee! I just drank a
vampire’s blood!”)
At the beginning of the next round they rise,
with the worst breath of the day. Also the powers of a
vampire. Until the next dawn they enjoy all the
benefits and limitations of the “Vampire” template.
To keep you from having to rummage through your
Monster Manual for the specifics, here they are.
The character’s natural armor bonus
improves by +6. They gain 10 pts of DR, which magic
and silver weapons ignore, as well as 10 points of
Resistance to Cold and Electricity.
Their Characteristics are temporarily
enhanced: Strength +6, Dexterity +4, Intelligence +2,
Wisdom +2, and Charisma +4. Unlike a real vampire,
they still have a Constitution score and can still make
Fortitude saving throws. They are however immune
to poison, disease and the effects of inclement
weather, just like any undead monster. If the spell
wears off after they have been exposed to poison or
disease within the past two hours, the DM can ask
them to make a Fortitude Saving Throw at a +2 bonus
or suffer the effect.
The spell’s subject regenerates 5 Hit Points
worth of damage every round so long as they have at
least one point left. If they hit zero hit points, they’re
in serious trouble. They are immediately reduced to
Gaseous form once they lose their last hit point. A
real vampire would try frantically to reach its coffin
and regain its strength, but of course the spellcaster
doesn’t have a coffin to take refuge in. If the effects
of the spell don’t wear off or get dispelled within two
hours, their gaseous body dissipates and they die. It is
going to be extremely difficult for a cleric to bring
them back from the dead, since they haven’t left any
mortal remains.
For the duration of the spell, the subject
gains a +8 bonus to the skills Bluff, Hide, Listen,
Move Silently, Search, Sense Motive, and Spot. They
also gain the feats Alertness, Combat Reflexes,
Dodge, Improved Initiative, and Lightning Reflexes, if
they meet the prerequisites and didn’t already have
them.
While their Wisdom score has been
enhanced, they do not enjoy an undead monster’s total
immunity to mental attacks. They are temporarily
immune to attacks which cause Fear, but can still
perceive illusions or fall victim to a Dominate Person
spell.
They can climb walls exactly as though they
were using the spell Spider Climb. To be more
specific, they can climb any surface, even vertical
walls or ceilings at a rate of 20 feet per round, without
hoving to make any skill checks. They retain their
Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while
climbing, and their opponents get no special bonus to
their attacks against them.
The spellcaster can now make Slam Attacks,
if they couldn’t before. A Medium sized character
does 1d6 damage with a slam attack, a Large character
does 1d8 and a Small character does 1d4 (beware the
Vampire Gnome!). If the character already had an
unarmed attack that did more damage than this, they
can keep it. Anyone hit by the Slam Attack (or for
that matter any of the character’s unarmed attacks)
must make a Fortitude Saving Throw vs. 10 + one half
the attacker’s level plus their Charisma bonus or gain
two Negative Levels. For every level the attacker
manages to drain out of some poor hapless victim,
they gain 5 temporary hit points. The attacker can
only use this Energy Drain ability once per round,
even if they have multiple attacks.
If they succeed in grappling a foe, they can
latch onto one of their major blood vessels and slurp
off 1d4 points of Constitution. Every round they feast
on a victim’s hot blood, they gain another 5 temporary
hit points (and a healthful rosy glow in their cheeks).
The vampir-o-fied character can take a
standard action to make a kind of modified gaze attack
at anyone within 30 feet. Whoever they target must
make a Willpower Saving Throw vs. vs. DC 14 or
become their willing slave, exactly as though they
were under the effects of a Dominate spell put on them
by a 12th level caster. To summarize the effect, the
dominated character will do whatever the vampire
verbally tells them to, and while their behavior may
seem odd, they won’t look like a spaced-out zombie.
It takes a Sense Motive check vs. DC 15 to determine
that they’ve been placed under mental domination.
If the dominater and the dominated character
don’t speak the same language, then the dominator can
still convey a few simple commands via telepathy.
What’s a simple command? That’s for the DM to
decide, but as a general rule of thumb it shouldn’t be
anything more complex than “Come here,” “Go
there,” “Fight,” or “Stand still.”
The Dominating character has a vague sense
of what is happening to the dominated character at all
times, but they can’t actually see through their eyes.
Nor can they send the dominated character telepathic
commands at a distance—they have to be at the kind
of range where the dominated character could hear
them if they spoke. If the sham-pire takes a round to
concentrate, they can get a much clearer picture of
what the dominated character’s current situation is, but
without directly perceiving things through their body
(I know that sounds like an unclear distinction, but it’s
the way they wrote it in the Player’s Handbook, so
we’re stuck with it).
If a dominated character is asked to do
something utterly contrary to their nature (the DM will
have to adjudicate things carefully here), they
immediately get to make a new Saving Throw at a +2.
If you order a dominated character to kill themselves
they won’t do it, and immediately get to make a new
Saving Throw at a +2 bonus. You can of course order
them to do dangerous things, just not immediately
suicidal ones. “Climb that slippery cliff in the rain” is
fine, “throw yourself off that cliff” is not.
As soon as the effects of “Drink the
Vampire’s Blood” wear off at the next dawn, the
mental domination ends, so we don’t have to talk
about the need to re-establish contact with the
dominated character once per day.
In adition to clouding the minds of men, the
temporary vampire can also call the lesser creatures of
the night to serve them. Once per day they can call
forth 1d6+1 rat swarms, 1d4+1 bat swarms, or a pack
of 3d6 wolves. Calling on the “children of the night”
takes a standard action. The creatures arrive in 2d6
rounds and serve the spellcaster for up to 1 hour. If
the summoner is in some place where there couldn’t
possibly be any rats, bats or wolves (the middle of
Antarctica, the bottom of the sea or the astral plane, to
name a few examples) then either some local
equivalent creatures with the same hit dice and attacks
show up in answer to their call, or nothing happens.
It’s up to the DM to determine which it is.
The caster can also assume the shape of a
bat, dire bat, wolf, or dire wolf. The transformation
takes a standard action. This ability is similar to a
polymorph spell cast by a 12th-level character, except
that the choice of forms is more limited and the caster
does not regain hit points for changing form. While in
an alternate form, they can no longer make slam
attacks or use their power to dominate the minds of
others, but gain all the natural weapons and
extraordinary special attacks of its new form. The
spellcaster can remain in their new form until they
choose to turn back or until the next sunrise. They
automatically revert to their natural shape once the
spell wears off, which is usually harmless but can
cause problems if they were flying in the shape of a
bat at the time.
The caster can also assume Gaseous Form.
This too takes a standard action. They can remain in
gaseous form for as long they like or until the next
dawn. While in gaseous form, they can move at 20
feet per round and enjoy perfect maneuverability in
the air. If the dawn breaks while the spellcaster is still
floating around in gaseous form, things can get a little
awkward for them. If they are creeping under a door
or through some narrow passageway when the spell
ends, they are pushed out whichever side is nearest.
If they are up in the air, they have one full round to
reach the ground (or at least a safer altitude) before
they assume their natural form and start to fall.
The spellcaster gains all the usual
disadvantages as well as the advantages of being a
vampire. They don’t cast shadows or reflections.
They can be Turned or Rebuked like any undead
creature, although they have a +4 bonus to resist it.
They have to remain at least 5 feet away from any
character holding a mirror or holy symbol and they
can’t make any kind of melee attacks against them.
They can’t willingly cross running water under their
own power (although they can be carried across it—on
a boat, for example).
Sunlight is deadly to them. If they are
exposed to sunlight, they become disoriented for a
round, in and can take only a single move action or
attack action. If they don’t get out of the sun on the
next round, they die. It’s important to remember that
the first rays of dawn won’t kill them if that’s when
the spell is due to run out.
Running water is nearly as dangerous to
them as sunlight. Each round they are immersed in
running water, they lose a third of their hit points. It
doesn’t matter whether or not they can swim, the hit
point loss is magical and automatic—their Damage
Resistance doesn’t protect against it either. If they
haven’t left the water by the end of the third round
then they are dead.
Strangest of all, the spellcaster can’t enter a
home or other private building unless someone
verbally invites them. If they have mentally
dominated the person who utters the invitation, it still
counts.
It is important to remember that when
casting the spell, you must have both arms free to
make the ritual gestures, and must be able to loudly
shout all kinds of frightful imprecations to the forces
of Unspeakable Awfulness.
This is a loud spell and at the DM’s cruel
whim it may alert passing monsters, gangs of villagers
with torches and pitchforks, etc.
Material Component: A whole pint of vampire
blood, or blood a vampire has drunk from somebody
else, and kept in their body for at least an hour. And if
you think drinking a pint of animal blood is nasty (go
on, admit it—we’ve all tried) just wait until you taste
blood that’s been all clotted up and cold for a century!

Earthpact
Transmutation [earth]
Level: 3rd Bard, 2nd Cleric, 2nd Druid, 2nd Earth,
2nd Protection, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 Minute
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject--ether the castet
themselves or another character.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: For the duration of the spell the subject
has 10 points of Damage Resistance vs. any weapon
made of earth (a baked clay brick, for example) or
stone and 5 points of Damage Resistance vs. any
weapon made of wood or metal. It provides no
protection at all against weapons made of bone, horn
or other animal materials.
Only the part of the weapon that actually
comes into contact with the target should be
considered when deciding what a given weapon is
made of. The spell would, for example, provide a full
10 points of Damage Resistance against a wooden
arrow tipped with a stone arrowhead, or a stone axe
with a wooden handle.
In addition to the Damage Resistance, the
subject of the Earthpact can walk through solid stone
and earth, moving at their standard movement rate in
any direction. They cannot see through solid matter
without some other kind of magical assistance. Nor
can they move through materials like metal, wood or
ice.
They do not need to breathe while they are
immersed in the earth, but if they were to suddenly
encounter a pocket of water while moving through the
ground, they would have to roll for drowning normally
until they extricated themselves.
If the duration of the spell expires while the
subject is still embedded in the earth, they are instantly
ejected at the nearest possible point. Not the most
convenient or the least deadly—the nearest. The DM
should carefully determine what happens if the spell
pushes the subject into a crowded armory full of
weapons, or out the side of a cliff or into the bottom of
a lake or some other awkward place. Try to be fair.
The spell will not eject the subject into a space too
small to hold them.
Ease Your Burden
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Cleric, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: The objects carried by one living subject,
selected by the caster.
Duration: 4 hours per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Anything the subject picks up has its
weight reduced by half, for as long as they keep it on
their person. This effectively doubles their carrying
capacity for the duration of the spell.
The caster may place this spell on
themselves or on some other character. They do not
need to touch the subject to enchant them.
Please note that the spell is cast on the
creature who is bearing the burden, not on an object to
be carried. As soon as the object leaves their
possession, it resumes its normal weight. This means
that the spell cannot be used to enhance the subject's
throwing distance, or the range of a missile weapon.
As soon as the object passes out of their grasp, it
weighs as much and will fly no further than before.
The spell will however help the subject lift a melee
weapon that they might not otherwise be able to wield.
For simplicity's sake, the DM should assume that the
spell eliminates all Strength-based penalties for using
large weapons, unless the wielder is two or more size
classes smaller than the weapon itself. So for example
a Halfling, (size Small) would be able to use a human-
sized sword (size Medium) while under the influence
of this spell, but a Pixie (Size Tiny) could not. It does
not add to a character's melee bonus-it just alleviates
weight-related penalties.
For the purposes of the game, any object
that the subject is personally carrying counts as being
"in their possession." It does not matter whether the
item is in their pocket, their backpack, a scabbard or in
their hand, but they must actually be carrying it
themselves. If the subject is riding a horse or other
such animal, then anything the subject is carrying on
their person has its weight reduced by half, but the
subject's own weight and the weight of the items in the
saddlebags remains unchanged. It relieves the
subject’s burden, not their horse’s (unless it’s cast on
their horse).
It is not possible to cast this spell on a given
subject more than once, to reduce their burden down
to a quarter, an eighth, etc. If the spell is cast on an
animal pulling a cart, then both the cart and everything
in it has its weight reduced by half, but only for the
purposes of pulling it along. If a character were to
stand in the cart and try to lift one of the objects that it
bears, the object would appear to weigh the same as it
always does.
Odd situations may occur if the spell is cast
separately on both a horse and its rider. In the unlikely
event that this occurs, then from the horse's point of
view the weight of the rider is halved, and the weight
of anything they are carrying (including their armor, if
any) is reduced by ¾. From the rider's point of view,
their own weight is unaffected, but the items they are
carrying, including their armor, only seem to weigh
half as much.
The spell cannot be cast separately on a pack
animal and the cart they are pulling-it must be cast on
a creature, not an inanimate object. Despite this
stipulation, it will work normally on the undead. It
does not work on golems (their spell immunity blocks
it). Whether it works on other constructs is up to the
DM.

Ectoplasmic Ladder
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (at least one end of the ladder must be
within 25 feet +5 feet for every two caster levels)
Target: Creates a ladder, up to forty feet in length.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Creates a shimmering transparent ladder
out of pure magical energy. The ladder can be any
length from one to forty feet, but once it has formed it
cannot change size. It has an AC of 8, 5 points of
Damage Resistance and 5 Hit Points. If it loses all its
Hit Points it dissolves back into nothingness. The
ladder will bear up to 1,000 pounds. Each round that it
holds more than this amount of weight, it takes a point
of damage The caster can end the spell with a
thought--this takes effectively no time and can provide
a sudden surprise to enemies who are climbing up the
ladder after them.
Enchanted Implement
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Bard, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One tool, used to perform a Craft or
Profession skill.
Duration: 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw: None, unless cast on an object
(object)
Spell Resistance: Yes, if for some reason the targeted
implement has Spell Resistance (object)
Description: Enchants a tool so that anyone who uses
it to perform a Professional or Craft skill gets a +3
bonus. They must complete the phase of the work that
the tool is used for within the spell’s duration, or lose
the bonus. This spell does not work on lockpicks,
since “Pick Locks” is neither a Profession nor a Craft
skill. Nor will it enchant, for example, a musical
instrument to enhance a “Performance” roll or a pair
of slippers for a bonus to “Move Silently.” It only
enhances Craft and Profession rolls.
Everyone Drop Their
Weapon
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 30 foot radius
Target: Everyone holding a weapon in a 30 foot
radius
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Compels 2 characters per caster level to
each drop one weapon. If any of the affected creatures
are holding more than one weapon, the spellcaster can
choose which weapon they drop. This is a more
powerful spell than “Disarm” and isn’t subject to the
same limitations. It can compel a target to drop any
one object, whether that object is technically speaking
a weapon or not. It has no effect on rings, gauntlets,
medallions, hats and other such items, unless the target
is for some reason holding the item in their hand
instead of wearing it. A sentient magical item affected
by this spell can elect to use its own Willpower Saving
Throw instead of its master’s.
Evil Lurks
Illusion (Glamer) [evil, mind-affecting]
Level: 6th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 2 rounds
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One ten-foot square per caster level, arranged
in whatever pattern the caster wants (the squares must
be contiguous)
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Creates a zone up to ten feet by ten feet
times the caster’s level, in which anyone with an Evil
alignment becomes invisible. If there are inanimate
objects present that somehow have alignments (certain
magic weapons, for example) then they too become
invisible. The caster can pick and choose which
subjects are initially rendered invisible, and can shape
the spell’s area of effect however they like.
Any evil creature or object that enters the
spell’s area of effect for the first time becomes
invisible, whether or not they wish to, with no saving
throw. If anyone or anything affected by this spell
leaves or is removed from the spell’s area of effect,
then they become visible and can’t turn invisible again
just by stepping back into the zone.
The form of invisibility provided by this
spell works exactly like the standard “Invisibility”
spell. The affected subjects can’t be seen and anyone
trying to hit them suffers a –8 penalty. As with
standard invisibility, the spell is broken if they attack
anyone while invisible. However, only the character
who made the attack is rendered visible in this way.
Everyone else affected by the spell remains invisible
until its duration expires, they move out of the area of
effect or they make an attack themselves

Exploding Rat
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One small animal, selected by the caster.
When the spell's effect is triggered, it affects
everything in a 10 foot radius of the animal's current
position.
Duration: 2 rounds per caster level
Saving Throw: Anyone caught in the exploding rat's
blast radius can make a Reflexes Saving Throw vs.
DC 15 to take half damage. A Fortitude save negates
the foul disease borne on the flying rat-shrapnel.
Spell Resistance: yes (but they still must Save to keep
from contracting the disease, which is not
supernatural)
Description: Converts an ordinary rat into a living
weapon, which will scuttle up to a designated target
and then explode.
The rat is effectively transformed into a
Tiny Construct, under the spellcaster’s mental control.
The rat-bomb has an AC of 16, 8 hit points and an
Attack Bonus of +4. It is immune to Fear, Emotion
Control and Illusions but not Sleep, Paralysis or
mental domination (although any attempt to mentally
dominate the rat will instantly detonate it) It can move
30 feet per round under its own power and effectively
has a Stealth Skill of +7.
The rat is in constant telepathic contact with
the mind of its user, who can order it to change targets
or to withdraw. It is not smart enough to undertake
any kind of strategy on its own and must be carefully
guided through every step of anything it does. The
creature’s tiny mind has been completely obliterated
by the spell, and apart from its stealth, it retains none
of its former skills, memories or instincts. The
spellcaster can see through its eyes if they concentrate.
It’s sense of hearing remains as sharp as ever (+6 to
any Listen rolls the spellcaster makes through it’s
ears) but it’s sense of smell is too alien for a human
mind to properly interpret through a mental link.
An exploding rat does draw attacks of
opportunity when it attacks, which almost doesn’t
matter, since if it takes any damage at any point after
the spell has been cast, it immediately explodes.
When it explodes, the rat does 3d6
Bludgeoning damage to anything in a 10 foot radius.
A Reflexes Saving Throw will halve the damage. It
also sprays the area with a vile disease. Anyone who
takes damage from the exploding rat must make a
Fortitude Saving Throw or contract an unsavory
infection. They won’t notice any effects for 1d6 days,
but after that they will begin to lose 1 point of
Constitution every two days. When they hit 0
Constitution, they die. The afflicted character is
entitled to make a new Saving Throw every week, if
the disease hasn’t killed them yet, to shake off the
illness. A Cure Disease will also work, although
Dispel Magic and Remove Curse will not (the disease
isn’t actually magical, it’s just the natural effect of
having a rat explode all over you).
If for some reason the spell reaches the end
of its duration and the rat still hasn’t exploded, it lies
down and dies.
It should be mentioned that a rat under the
influence of this spell looks sick and it’s behavior is
clearly peculiar. It lurches around stiffly, bleeding and
slobbering from its mouth, staggering toward the
target without blinking its eyes. Anyone who has seen
an Exploding Rat before will know at once what is
wrong with it.
Find That Thing
Divination
Level: 1st Bard, 2nd Cleric, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard, 1st
Travel
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Unlimited, provided the object the caster is
seeking is on the same Plane of Existance
Target: Any one object that the caster has previously
handled.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Points the caster in the direction of any
one particular object that they have previously
handled. The spell will not reveal the object's precise
location or even how far away the object is. It will
only show its direction. The caster need only have
touched the object briefly and it does not matter
whether their skin came into contact with it or if they
touched it through a glove, gauntlet, etc. It can't locate
a living creature but it can find an animate construct if
the caster has touched it before.
Flail of Screaming
Nothingness
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch (although the Flail itself has a Reach of
15 feet)
Target: Creates a 15 foot whip, which the caster can
use to make attacks.
Duration: 1 round per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates incapacitating
effect, see description
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: Creates a shrieking black tentacle of
nothingness, which the caster can use like a whip. No
weapon proficiency is required, anyone who can cast
the spell can use the flail. It has an effective reach of
15 feet and unlike most weapons with reach, it can
strike anything within that range at no penalty.
Although it doesn't have a "to hit" bonus, it counts as a
+1 magic weapon for the purposes of striking
creatures that can't be hurt by normal weapons. The
flail's fanged black mouth does 1d6 Piercing damage,
and anyone who takes damage must make a
Willpower Saving Throw or fall to the ground and
writhe in agony for a full round (this doesn’t affect
creature like undead monsters and constructs, who feel
no pain). Incapacitated characters can’t concentrate or
take any action except to defend themselves. It takes a
standards action to stand back up. The flail can be
used to make Trip attacks and there is no risk of it
tripping the caster if they don’t succeed in tripping up
their opponent. If it is used to Disarm an opponent,
the caster has a +2 bonus to their roll.
This is a noisy spell—the flail screams and
howls so loud that it is difficult to hear normal
conversation over it. The sound may attract unwanted
attention, but it’s so horrible that it’s just as likely to
scare prospective attackers away. Anyone who has
had a Flail of Screaming Nothingness used on them
before must make a morale check the moment they
hear the sound of one. Being struck by that frigid,
gobbling mouth is a hard thing to ever forget.
Fly Swift, My Steed
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Animal, 2nd Bard, 2nd Druid, 3rd Ranger,
2nd Sorcerer/Wizard, 2nd Travel
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 feet
Target: One riding animal or riding vehicle (a
bicycle, for example, or a motorcycle)
Duration: 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Doubles the movement speed of one
riding beast—but only while it is actually being
ridden. It does not aid an unburdened animal, a pack
animal loaded down with bags who doesn’t have a
living rider, or an animal that is drawing a cart or
chariot. The subject must actually be ridden to gain
any benefit. Placing a tame insect on top of a pack
mule would not allow this spell to double the mule’s
speed, since the insect isn’t really riding in any real
sense, it’s just sitting uncomprehendingly on top of a
mule. An unconscious human being slung across a
horse’s back couldn’t gain the benefit of the spell
either, since they aren’t using the skill “riding.”
Apart from this stipulation about riding, the
spell is totally indiscriminate about what it will affect.
It works equally well on horses, dolphins, dragons,
giant mosquitoes, motorized vehicles (but only if they
are “ridden” like a motorcycle, rather than driven like
a car) or even one person carrying another on their
shoulders. It affects swimming speed as well as
running, flying, etc.
If the rider dismounts (or gets knocked off),
their mount loses the bonus to tits movement, but the
spell isn’t automatically broken. If they re-mount the
beast before the spell expires, they can still gain the
benefit of the spell for the rest of its duration. So
could someone else who mounts the beast after its first
rider gets knocked off, whether or not the original
rider approves. It is important to remember, however,
that the clock is still ticking while the mount isn’t
being ridden.
This spell adds no bonus to the subject’s
initiative, skill rolls, Armor Class or reflexes saving
throw—just their movement speed.
A Fool is Blind
Transmutation [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 2nd Bard, 3rd Ranger, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One creature or object, selected by the caster.
Duration: 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw: See description
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless--spell resistance will
also shield the person who is supposed to be affected
by the invisibility)
Description: Renders one object, animal or person
invisible, but only to one person. Anyone else can see
the “invisible” subject. They enjoy all the usual
benefits of being invisible, although only against that
one target. They have full Concealment, detecting
them with a “spot” roll becomes a DC 20 task (30 if
they’re standing still and 40 if the spell is cast on a
stationary inanimate object) and to pinpoint their
location with a “Listen” roll requires beating the DC
by a full 20 points. Even if the person who can’t see
them manages to pinpoint their location, they still
have full Concealment for the purpose of being
attacked (50% chance of a miss).
As with most invisibility spells, the objects
that the character is holding also become invisible, but
if they drop something, it suddenly reappears. While a
torch or other light source becomes invisible while it
is being held, the light it emits is still perfectly
visible—it just has no clear source. The spell does not
have to be cast with it’s unwitting victim present, but
the caster either needs to know their name or to have
met them and remember them (make an Intelligence
roll vs. DC 15). The spell can only be cast on subjects
that are smaller than “huge” in size.
Glass Dagger
Transmutation
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One piece of glass
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: no
Description: Gives one piece of glass 10 points of
Hardness for the duration of the spell Only one piece
of glass is affected and it can be no larger than a foot
and a half in length. If the piece of enchanted glass
has an edge, it can be used as a slashing weapon,
doing 1d4 points of damage. Please note that this
spell does not imbue the enchanted glass with any
additional hit points—only hardness. If it takes even a
single point of damage, it immediately shatters into
useless fragments. If anyone is holding the piece of
glass when it breaks, they must immediately make a
Reflexes Saving Throw vs. DC 15 or take a point of
damage. Hellwind

have some object that belonged to the target. See
Description
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Unlimited, provided the character the caster is
seeking is on the same Plane of Existance. See the
Description for more details.
Target: One character, whom the caster either knows
or has some personal artifact of. See the Description
for more details.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Reveals to the nearest GP the state of the
target's finances, counting the sum total worth of all
their possessions. It will not tell the caster what goods
or lands the target owns, just what they're worth. It
presents the whole figure as a lump sum and does not
in any way distinguish between cash and assets. It
will also tell whether the target is married and how
many wives or husbands they have at present. If there
is some sort of ambiguity as to whether they actually
own a particular item, the spell ignores the value of
that object when making its calculations. It also won't
reveal funds that the target has loaned out to someone
else.
The caster must know the target's real name,
and have some item that once belonged to the target in
order to cast this spell.
If the target is dead, the spell will give very
strange readings. Any goods or money that someone
else has inherited from them are no longer theirs. Any
spouses they may have had in life are released from
them, unless the target's culture doesn't allow second
marriages or they are buried in the same tomb. Any
goods buried with them and any treasure they may
have hidden while they were alive is still officially
theirs, as is the worth of their tomb itself. Unless of
course the target believes that the dead renounce all
their possessions, in which case they own nothing.
Hypnotic Voice
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 1st Bard, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch (although once the spell has been cast
the subject's voice will affect anyone who can hear
and understand it)
Target: Affects one subject (usually the caster) and
anyone they attempt a Bluff or Diplomacy roll on.
Duration: 1 hour per caster level or until the first time
the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster will make their next
Diplomacy or Bluff roll at a +8 bonus, if the spell's
duration has not yet expired. The spell is expended
after one Diplomacy or Bluff roll. It can't be used to
enhance any other skill rolls.
This spell will have no effect if the caster (or
whoever they have placed it on) is trying to
communicate non-verbally. If for example they are
trying to use Diplomacy to write a letter that is
intended to persuade the reader, they can't use their
Hypnotic Voice to aid the roll.
It is important to note that this is not a mind-
control spell. You can't use it convince the target to
do anything that you couldn't persuade them to do
with an ordinary Bluff or Diplomacy roll. You can't
use it to talk someone into betraying their king or
jumping off a bridge-unless of course they were
already considering it.
Ice-Storm Arrow
Transmutation [cold]
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One arrow, which then explodes on impact,
causing damage to everything in a 10 foot radius.
Duration: 1 round per level
Saving Throw: Anyone caught in the spell's Area of
Effect can make a Reflexes Saving Throw vs. DC 15
to take half damage, unless they have been hit by the
arrow itself, in which case the do not get a Saving
Throw.
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Enchants an arrow so that it explodes on
impact, whether or not it has hit the target, doing 2d8
Frost damage to everything in a 10 foot radius. If the
arrow does in fact hit the target, then the target takes
normal piercing damage for the arrow, plus the 2d8
Frost for the Ice Storm effect, plus an additional 1d4
Frost damage from having an incredibly cold object
stuck in their body. It is possible to place this
enchantment on an arrow that is already enchanted,
stacking the two effects. It is not however possible to
stack it with another "Frost" based effect, or with a
"Flame" effect.
The Idiot’s Arcanum
Transmutation
Level: 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 3 rounds
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Up to 100 GP worth of gold or other precious
metal per caster level
Duration: Instant (although the effects are permanent)
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: The dream of every alchemist for
centuries—gone horribly, stupidly wrong. The Idiot’s
Arcanum allows the caster to transform precious
metals into base ones. They can change up to one
hundred GP per caster level worth of any precious
metal into lead, iron, or antimony. Why they would
want to remains unclear. The caster doesn’t actually
have to see the metal they are transforming (if for
example it’s in a chest or a money pouch), but they
have to know how much of it is there.
The spell works on pieces of jewelry as well
as it does on coins or ingots. In this case the value of
the object is calculated only in terms of what the
precious metal would be worth by itself. The Idiot’s
Arcanum has no effect on gems or jewels.
 In a medieval setting this spell is chiefly
useful for annoying rich burghers and tricking gullible
patrons into thinking that you may be on the verge of
being able to turn lead into gold. In a D20 Modern
setting it has one unexpected additional use. It will
render up to twenty pounds per caster level of
radioactive material inert. The isotope degrades to the
closest non-radioactive metal. So for example U-235
would change into U-238. In the right sort of
emergency, this could turn out to be exactly the spell
you need.
Imbue With the Thunder
Transmutation [Electricity]
Level: 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One missile weapon, and anything in a 10
foot radius of where it impacts.
Duration: 1 round per caster level
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Enchants one missile weapon so that
when it strikes home, it will do 2d6 electrical damage
and 1d6 Nonlethal damage (also electrical, if that
affects things) to both the target and to anything else
in a 10 foot radius. Anyone but the target can make a
Reflexes Saving Throw to take half damage.
Please note that only the actual missile itself
can be enchanted in this way, not the weapon that
launches it. You could not, for example, enchant a
bow, only the arrows it launches. It can be cast on
throwing weapons like shuriken or chakram disks, but
if it is cast on a knife, the effect will only be triggered
if the knife is thrown at the target. It can be used as a
melee weapon without triggering the electrical attack.
If the weapon misses its target, roll to see
where it lands as though it were a grenade-like
weapon—it will still detonate on impact.
This spell cannot be stacked with other
spells that enhance the damage done by missile
weapons (acid arrow, flaming arrow, etc.) If you
attempt to cast it on a missile that has already had one
of these spells cast on it, the spell isn’t lost, the casting
just doesn’t work.
Invoke the Power of the
Blood-Spirits
Abjuration
Level: 2nd Cleric, 2nd Protection
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: For the duration of this spell, the subject
gains a +8 bonus to resist both magical and non-
magical attempts to drain points from their
Constitution. This applies to both Fortitude and
Willpower Saving Throws, but not to Reflexes Saving
Throws, should one be called for.
If the character still fails their Saving Throw
or suffers a Constitution-Draining attack that doesn't
permit them to make a Saving Throw, they will lose
only half the points indicated (round down). This also
applies if the attack does a reduced amount of damage
to its target's Constitution even if they make their
throw. It's hard to say what kind of attack would
cause this, but if it should happen, they will take only
half the damage to their Constitution.
If they suffer a Constitution-draining attack
that also does ordinary damage to their hit points, their
bonus to the Saving Throw remains the same, but they
won't get to halve the Hit Point damage, just the
Constitution drain.
Is This Sickness Natural?
Divination
Level: 1st Cleric, 1st Paladin
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Determines whether or not a given
illness has been caused by magic. It also reveals the
nature of the affliction and the probable course it will
take. The DM can either tell the caster the name of
the spell and describe its effects from the book or else
use a more abstract way of describing it, but the
description should be specific enough to be helpful. It
should always reveal whether the disease is lethal and
how long the victim can expect to live. If a specific
condition has been set to break the curse, this spell
will reveal that fact, but it won’t reveal what the
condition is.
The caster will get a very vague mental
picture of whoever put the disease spell on the victim.
They can tell only the following about the other caster.
Are they young or old? Male or Female? Living,
Dead or Undead? Humanor non-human? Whole or
maimed (missing an eye, ear or limb)? It will reveal
nothing else about them.
Kiss of the Serpent
Evocation
Level: 3rd Cleric, 4th Druid, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level or until the first
time the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates the effect of the
poison (although it doesn't actually end the spell)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster's kiss becomes venomous, as
does their bite. Anyone who comes into direct contact
with the caster's mouth must make a Fortitude Saving
Throw or take 4d8 poison damage. This is not a touch
attack, the target must either willingly allow
themselves to be kissed, or the attacker must find their
way past the target's armor with an unarmed attack.
However, if the target has an armor class from a tough
hide or a thick skin, it does not count against this
attack. You can combine this attack with a Bite and
do as much damage as your bite would normally
cause, in addition to the venom.
At the DM's discretion, there may be a few
special situations where common sense would make it
impossible to use this attack. You could, for example,
use this spell against a target in full plate mail, even
with their visor down, but you could not use it if you
were sealed in a spacesuit, or had your hands tied
behind your back with a fishbowl over your head. As
always, the DM should adjudicate these situational
modifiers carefully. As a general rule of thumb,
circumstances where you can't use the Kiss of the
Serpent should be rare and justified carefully.
Liquefy Metal
Transmutation
Level: 5th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 25 foot radius
Target: Anything made of metal within a 25 foot
radius of the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None, unless cast on a magic item or
a construct or a living being. Then a Willpower
Saving Throw completely negates the effect. (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Does 1d8 damage per caster level
(maximum of 15d8) to anything made of metal in a 25
foot radius. It ignores up to 10 points of Damage
Resistance or Hardness. Inanimate objects take the full
amount of damage, rather than the usual one quarter.
Neither walls nor other physical barriers
block the effect of this spell, unless they are enchanted
and have at least 3 points of Damage Resistance or are
made of energy (so a Prismatic Sphere or a Wall of
Force would block the effect of this spell, but a Wall
of Earth would not)
It is not possible to hold back the effect of
this spell. It always does its full load of damage and it
can’t be instructed to spare anything in its radius. If
part of a larger metal object intrudes into that space
then only that section will take damage.
Living beings made of metal and magic
items are entitled to a Willpower saving throw. If they
succeed, they take no damage at all.
The spell does damage by making metal turn
to liquid at room temperature. It is perfectly safe to
hold a metal object or wear a piece of armor that is
liquefied by this spell (although it is a distinctly
unnerving experience). It doesn’t even grow warm to
the touch.
A metal object that takes damage from this
spell looks like a partly melted candle, but will
probably still be useable unless it’s lost too many Hit
Points (this is strictly the DM’s call, based on the
nature of the specific object and its function—
although frankly the spell does such a monstrous
buttload of damage that the question is unlikely to
come up very often).
Any object that loses all its hit points from
this spell evaporates into nothing and is lost forever.
The sole exception would be a living being made of
metal, who instead is reduced to a half-molten pile of
slag and can be Raised or Resurrected by whatever
means are available in your game.
Magic Picture
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 6th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus, Material
Casting Time: 5 Minutes
Range: Touch (to actually create the picture--once it
has been created, it will affect anyone who can see it
clearly, usually at a range of about 20 feet, although
this may vary for characters with unusually strong or
weak eyesight)
Target: One painting and the first character to view it.
Duration: Lasts until triggered. Can only be triggered
once.
Saving Throw: None, but of course the spell encoded
into the picture might allow a saving throw. See
Description.
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Encodes a spell into a drawing or
painting so that it will take effect on the first character
who sees it. No skill roll is required to create the
magic drawing—even a very crude drawing will do.
The spell could be harmful, helpful or
neither. Once it has been triggered, it is gone, although
the drawing remains in place.
If the spell is a ranged attack then it will
strike at the character who activated it. If it is an area
effect attack then it goes off with the drawing at the
center of its radius. If it is a grenade-like attack spell
(the spell “Fireball” for example) then it simply
detonates on the spot, with the drawing at the center of
the blast. If it is a cone shaped attack then it goes off
pointing directly at the target. If it is a defensive spell
like a Wall of Force or a Globe of Invulnerability then
it will surround the drawing, but if it is a defensive
spell that is specific to a target rather than a location
(“Bless” or “Protection From Evil” or “Armor”) then
it affects whoever triggered it. If it is a spell that
would usually require a Touch Attack, it takes effect
on the character who triggered it without having to
make a roll and without them having to touch the
drawing. If it is a spell with a variable effect
(“Polymorph Other” is a good example) then the
caster must decide what the specific effect will be at
the time they create the drawing. So, for example, if
you were to use a Magic Drawing to encode the spell
“Polymorph Other” then you would have to specify at
the time you create the drawing whether you want the
target turned into a toad, a chicken or what have you.
If a prospective target knows that the
drawing is waiting for them and wishes to avoid
triggering it, they can make a Reflexes Saving Throw
to approach it without looking at it, provided that they
move at no more than half their usual speed. Creatures
that can’t see can approach it with impunity.
It takes only one point of damage to destroy
the drawing and at the DM’s discretion there may be
ways to destroy it (splashing it with water, putting a
mark across it and so forth) that don’t even require
you to attack it. The DM should adjudicate this based
on how the drawing was made. A sand painting, for
example, would be considerably easier to obliterate
than a drawing scratched into a stone wall.
Touching the drawing will not trigger it,
although the DM might make an exception for a blind
character who feels a drawing cut into a surface and
figures out what it is supposed to look like. Seeing the
drawing while scrying will trigger the spell, but if it’s
a spell that has only direct, physical effects (“Magic
Missile”, “Lightning Bolt”, “Cone of Frost”, etc) then
it won’t of course hurt the triggerer. “Bestow Curse”
on the other hand, most certainly will, as will
“Polymorph Other”, Cause Disease” and any number
of other nasty magical effects. The DM should judge
this carefully. The observer is only safe from the spell
if its effects are strictly physical and immediate.
Material Component: Paints and pigments,
Magnetic Flux
Evocation [Electricity]
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 foot radius per caster level
Target: All magnetic compasses within a radius of 10
feet per caster level.
Duration: 1 round per caster level
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: This spell sets all the compasses within
its area of effect spinning wildly. It can also be used
to make them all point in a single direction of the
caster's choice. The caster does not have to know a
compass' location to affect it with this spell. The caster
can change the direction as many times as they like
within the spell's Duration. It has little utility apart
from misdirecting sailors, although an ingenious caster
might be able to use it to spell out a message.
In a modern setting Magnetic Flux is
somewhat more powerful. It will cause distortions on
television screens and has a 55% chance of ruining
any floppy disks inside its range (roll separately for
each disk). It also has a 30% chance of wrecking any
given hard drive in its range, and the caster can choose
to focus it on a particular computer, in which case the
chance goes up to 75% for that one computer.
Melting Glance
Evocation [flame]
Level: 2nd Druid, 2nd Flame, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: None. Does not require so much as a
single word or gesture
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 20 feet, plus 5 feet per level
Target: One object made of snow or ice, or a 10 foot
square area.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Fortitude save reduces damage by
half, if the spell is cast on a creature rather than an
inanimate object.
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Does 1d8 damage per caster level to any
object, wall or surface made of snow or ice (maximum
of 5d8). The ice and snow suddenly melt, turning into
mist and vanishing. This happens even in conditions
of unbelievable cold, where the water really should re-
freeze. Instead it just turns into vapor and disperses.
If the spell is used on an area or on an object larger
than size Huge, it will affect a ten-foot by ten foot
section. Creatures and magic objects that are made of
snow and ice are entitled to make a Fortitude Saving
Throw to take half damage.
Negate Lightning
Abjuration [Electricity]
Level: 7th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 2 rounds
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One ten-foot square per caster level, arranged
in whatever pattern the caster wants (the squares must
be contiguous)
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Creates an area in which no lightning-
based attack spells but "Shocking Grasp" have any
effect. Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Call
Lightning and any other such electrical attacks spells
simply will not function within this Abjuration's area
of effect. If a spellcaster attempts to cast one of these
spells inside the protected area, they do not lose the
stored spell--it simply fails to go off.
If a spellcaster standing outside this area of
effect were to cast a bolt of lightning into or across the
protected zone, the spell's effect would be neutralized
and they would lose the spell charge. This happens
even if the target is on the far side of the protected
area. Once a bolt of lightning tires to cross the
protected zone, it simply winks out of existence.
Negate Lightning will also block the spell-
like effects used by monsters and magic items. A
Blue Dragon’s electircal breath weapon, for example,
is completely negated by the field. The spell also
blocks natural, non-magical lightning
It has no effect on electrical Touch Attacks.
A Shocking Grasp spell, an electric eel or grabbing the
end of an exposed high-tension wire would all do
damage normally. Nor would a robot or other
electronic device (in the unlikely event that these exist
in your campaign) be shut down by this spell. The
sole exception would be an arc-welder, which will fail
to work inside the spell's area of effect, but function
normally once again when it is moved out of range.
No One Gets Out of Here
Abjuration
Level: 5th Bard, 5th Cleric, 6th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Affects a 25 foot (+5 feet for every two caster
levels) radius, which is always centered on the caster
Target: Radius effect, always centered on the caster
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (but roll at a -2
penalty)
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Anyone within this spell's range who
attempts to cast any type of transportation, movement
or telepotation spell must first make a Willpower
Saving Throw at a -2.
Anyone who passes into this spell's Area of
Effect while using a transportation spell (Flight, for
example) must make a Willpower Saving Throw at a –
2 to keep from having their spell dispelled. This effect
happens the moment they enter the affected area, so if
for example someone were to attempt to magically fly
across the spell's radius of effect and failed their
Saving Throw, their Flight Spell would be negated just
at the very edge of the spell's radius.
It is possible to Teleport from one side of
the spell's range to the other without being interfered
with (so long as you don't enter the radius of effect on
either end) but if you attempt to cross it with a
Dimension Door, you must make the usual Saving
Throw or be dumped out at some random spot inside
the affected area (it's the DM's call as to exactly where
they appear--they won't materialize inside a solid
object, but that's the only rule). It does not matter
whether the beginning or end-point of the Dimension
Door are outside the affected area. If a straight line
drawn between them would cross the area of this
spell's effect, then anyone traveling through the
Dimension Door must make a Saving Throw to keep
from having their trip interrupted.
Pease note that it is possible to accurately
teleport into the spell's radius of effect--you just can't
teleport back out again without making the Saving
Throw.
The Saving Throw takes effectively no time
to make and does not require an additional "action" on
the part of the Target. The -2 penalty does stack with
other penalties to casting spells, if any apply, unless
they are the direct result of some other spell (a curse,
for example) in which case only the largest bonus
applies, per usual.
Nose of the Dog
Transmutation
Level: 2nd Animal, 1st Druid, 4th Ranger, 2nd
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 20 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The spellcaster (or whoever else they
cast the spell on) gains a remarkable sense of smell.
For the rest of the spell's duration, they will make any
Tracking rolls at a +10, unless the DM decides that the
quarry has used some magical or other means to mask
their scent. As a general rule of thumb, it should be
extremely difficult to hide from the subject. Just
crossing a stream or kicking dirt over your tracks
shouldn't do it.
The spell’s subject can also make an
Intelligence Roll vs. DC 10 to detect poisons or to
identify particular character by scent. At the DM's
discretion a resourceful player may come up with
other uses as well.
However, having a hypersensitive nose is
not without its disadvantages. For the spell's duration,
they will suffer a -2 penalty to Saving Throws made
against smell based attacks (Reeking Cloud, for
example)
Phantom Dagger
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: Creates a magical dagger out of nowhere
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Creates a short sharp blade out of pure
mental force, that does 1d4 damage. Only the caster
can see the Phantom Dagger. A spell or magic item
designed to see through invisibility won't perceive the
dagger, but True Seeing will reveal its presence, as
will any non-visual divination spell.
The phantasmal weapon itself has a +2 "to
hit" bonus, but only vs. Armor Class derived from the
target's Dexterity (it's hard to dodge an invisible blade,
but armor still protects against it). The Phantom
Dagger is strictly a melee weapon, and cannot be
thrown. It is unlikely that anyone will find themselves
in a position to attempt to break it, but if they do, the
dagger has an effective Hardness of 10 and 1 Hit
Point. If broken, it ceases to exist and the spell is at an
end, whether or not its duration has expired. It will
also vanish if the caster is killed or rendered
unconscious, or if they decide to get rid of the dagger
to free up that hand to hold or grab something else.
It is not possible to give the phantom dagger
to someone else to use. Only the caster may use it, so
it's fortunate that daggers are the one bladed weapon
that most spellcasters are Proficient with.
Plague of Ill Fortune
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Bard, 3rd Cleric, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Lasts until negated by a Remove Curse
spell
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Curses the target with a -4 penalty to all
their rolls, whether for skills, saving throws, stat
checks or what have you. Anyone the target touches
(or who spends one hour in their company) must
themselves make a Willpower Saving Throw or
become afflicted with the same curse. The rules on
what constitutes being "in the company of" are rather
loose. Just sitting next to a stranger in a tavern for an
hour would do it, even if they went out to the privy
from time to time. We leave it up to the DM to resolve
iffy cases. Their rulings are not obliged to be
consistent--magic isn't known for being logical.
There is only one "carrier" of this epidemic
of bad luck, it doesn't spread in a geometric
progression from everyone who contracts it.
A Remove Curse will take the affliction off
any one of the victims, but if it is cast on the original
carrier, the entire curse is broken. This makes
important not to just lynch the carrier on sight! If they
die, the curse will have to be broken one victim at a
time (but at least it won't spread any further).
Power of the Mind
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 1st Cleric, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Gives the subject conscious control over
all their internal bodily functions. For the duration of
this spell they can substitute a Willpower Saving
Throw for a Fortitude Saving Throw. They are not
obliged to do this, however. If they would prefer to
make a Fortitude Saving Throw then they are welcome
to do so.
The spell remains in effect if the character is
forced to sleep or rendered unconscious. Some
portion of their mind retains a faint awareness of what
is going on, although they won't remember anything
that happened while they were unconscious once they
wake up.
Pressure Point Blow
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Assassin, 2nd Ranger, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: Lasts until it has been triggered three times.
Then it must be re-cast
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The next three unarmed attacks the
target makes will do 1d3+Strength Bonus normal
damage rather than Subdual damage. The duration of
the spell is effectively indefinite--it lasts until the next
time the target makes a successful unarmed attack.
Any amount of time can go by between attacks, but
the target cannot choose not to take their bonus and
save it for another blow. It happens automatically,
whenever a blow connects. It will not be triggered by
a miss, you have to hit the target to burn up a use.
Please note that the caster does not have a spell slot
tied up the whole time the spell is running. They will
regain spells normally if the subject holds back their
next unarmed attack for longer than a day.
Resist Paralysis
Abjuration
Level: 2nd Cleric, 2nd Protection, 3rd
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The subject gains a +10 bonus to resist
any form of paralysis, whether magical or mundane. It
enhances both Fortitude and Willpower saves (and
Reflexes Saves as well, in the unlikely event that one
is called for) This bonus only applies toward resisting
paralysis and has no effect on being Stunned, put to
sleep, rendered unconscious, etc. There is no limit to
the number of enhanced Saving Throws they can
make-they can roll as often as they suffer paralyzing
attacks until the spell's Duration runs out.
Resist Sleep
Abjuration
Level: 1st Bard, 1st Cleric, 1st Ranger, 2nd
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The caster (or whoever else they have
cast the spell on) gets a +10 bonus to resist any form
of magical sleep for the duration of the spell. This
provides equal protection against spells, magic items,
potions, etc. It also gives them a +10 bonus to resist
any form of drug-induced sleep. Furthermore, for the
duration of the spell the subject is able to go without
normal sleep and incur no penalties. They feel rested
and alert, no matter how much sleep they have missed.
Be warned, however, the penalties for going without
sleep will continue to accumulate while the spell is in
effect and the moment it wears off, the effects of
staying awake suddenly catch up with them.
Resounding Blast
Evocation [Sonic]
Level: 4th Bard, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch (to enchant the horn that will emit the
Resounding Blast--once it has been enchanted the
blast itself affects a 60 foot cone)
Target: Area: 60 foot cone
Duration: Lasts until the first time it is triggered, then
dissapates
Saving Throw: Reflexes reduces damage by half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Imbues a horn, flute or similar musical
instrument with the one-time ability to emit a
thunderous, devastating blast of sound. This destroys
the musical instrument itself, and isn’t much good for
the health of anyone caught in the blast, either.
Anyone in the cone-shaped area of attack will take
1d6 damage per caster level (maximum of 10d6) and
must make a Fortitude Saving Throw or become Deaf
for the next 2d6 hours. A Reflexes Saving Throw
halves the physical damage. Creatures or objects
made of crystalline materials take 1 ½ times the usual
amount of damage from this attack. It is up to the DM
to determine precisely what counts.
The DM should also consider the fact that
the noise can be heard for approximately three miles
in every direction and consider whether or not anyone
or anything is likely to come investigate.
Material Component: A musical instrument--see
above.
Ruin Book
Transmutation
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 feet per caster level, can also be cast via
Scrying
Target: One book or document, selected by the
spellcaster
Duration: Instant (although the effects are permanent)
Saving Throw: None, unless cast on a magic item
(object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: This spell permanently removes all the
ink from a book or document, leaving it blank. This
works on paper, parchment, reed scrolls or anything
else that can be written on in ink or paint. It works on
clay tablets, leaving them smooth and blank, but it
does not work on stone inscriptions. Nor can it be
used on any object larger than “Medium” in size. It
will not affect tapestries or other pieces of cloth with
markings woven into them. Nor will it work on
paintings, drawings or other works that don’t contain
any words. It will remove illustrations from a text, but
won’t have any effect on anything that isn’t intended
primarily as a written document. This can create a
few ambiguous situations for the DM to resolve. If it
ever comes up, just remember that the important
question is whether or not the work’s creator thought
of it as a document.

Scream of the Damned
Evocation [Sonic]
Level: 4th Bard, 3rd Cleric, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 40 foot semicircle
Target: Area: Semicircle
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: The caster utters a frightful shriek, so
awful and horrifying that it seems as though no human
throat could produce it. Anyone in a 40 foot
semicircle from the caster’s position must make a
Fortitude Saving Throw or take 3d6 Subdual damage
and become deaf for 2d6 minutes. They must also
make a Willpower Saving Throw or take an additional
1d4 Subdual damage and flee in panic.
Characters who have fallen under the
influence of the spell’s fear effect must abort all their
other actions and do nothing but flee the scene by the
most direct available route. They can take no action
apart from dodging or defending themselves while
they flee, can’t make missile attacks at all, and can
only use melee attacks that can be made while fleeing
(with the “Move-By Attack” feat, for example). They
can’t concentrate, or perform any actions that require
concentration. If they are somehow prevented from
leaving the area, they will cover, and can take no
actions apart from defending themselves.
Sense Weakness
Divination
Level: 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level or until the first
time the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Allows the spell’s subject to use the feat
“Great Cleave” once, even if they don’t meet any of
the feat’s requirements. The subject can pick and
choose when to perform the feat, it doesn’t
automatically happen on their next attack. They can
even choose to use it after they make their attack roll,
to make sure the spell effect doesn’t get wasted. The
feat must be performed within the spell’s duration.
Someone who already has the feat “Cleave”
or “Great Cleave” can’t use this spell to perform the
feat twice in one round, unless of course they have
multiple attacks (but then what’s the point?) Nor can
the spell be used to extend the effect of a “Great
Cleave” so as to hit more targets.
The Seventh Wind
Evocation
Level: 5th Bard, 5th Cleric, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 40 foot cone, plus 5 feet for every caster level.
Target: Area: Cone
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates the effect of the
nausea. A second Fortitude Save is needed to keep
from contracting a disease. See the Description for
more details.
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: A foul wind blows up from nowhere,
blighting everything in it’s path. No, it’s not a new
Brittany Spears tour, it’s the Seventh Wind, a vile
exhalation of nastiness from who knows what
forbidden dimension (which I suppose makes it more
like Courtney Love than Brittany Spears).
Anyone caught in the cone shaped area of
effect must make a Strength roll vs. DC 15 to avoid
being knocked down by the force of the evil-smelling
wind. Small creatures resist at a –2 and anything Tiny
or smaller resists at a –4. It takes a standard action to
stand up.
The wind will also blow any loose papers or
small objects in the direction the caster is facing,
although this is an effect for the DM to adjudicate.
Unless there’s a big bowl of piping hot sulpheric acid
sitting on a rickety table in the wind’s path, this
secondary effect isn’t likely to do any actual damage
to anything.
The reek of the Seventh Wind is so awful
and rank that anyone caught in the cone takes 1d3
damage and must make a Fortitude Saving Throw or
become so nauseated that they can’t do anything but
lie on the ground, gasping for breath, for the next 2d4
rounds (which I guess does make it more like Brittany
Spears, after all). Even creatures that don’t have a
sense of smell are afflicted, for this is No Wind of
This Earth, although of course constructs, immaterial
creatures and the undead are completely immune.
Anyone who failed the initial Fortitude
Saving Throw and became nauseated must attempt a
second Fortitude Save or contract a gruesome disease.
The Affliction of the Seventh Wind will rob them of
one point of Constitution per day for the first week.
By the second week it has become unpleasant enough
that they lose 1 point of dexterity and one of Wisdom
per day as well.
Medical science (should such a thing exist in
your campaign world) will be baffled by the malady
and unable to cure it. Only a Dispel Magic or Remove
Curse will be able to stop the course of the disease
before the victim reaches 0 Constitution and dies.
Shatterstaff
Transmutation [force]
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: The caster's staff (or perhaps some other
staff).
Duration: Lasts until triggered. Can only be triggered
once.
Saving Throw: Reflexes reduces damage by half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Enchants a staff so that the next time it
makes a successful Touch Attack (counting only
Armor Class from the target's Dexterity bonus) it
explodes, doing 1d8 Bludgeoning damage per caster
level to the target (maximum of 10d8). Since this also
destroys the staff, it is generally used as an attack of
last resort. Even though the caster is holding one end
of the staff when it explodes, the attack does no
damage to anyone but the target.
Although the explosion is triggered by
physically coming into contact with the target, the
staff can't just be left lying around like a land mine,
ready to explode whenever someone brushes up
against it. Nor can someone be thrown onto the staff
to trigger it involuntarily. The staff's wielder must
make a conscious intentional effort to strike the target
and trigger the explosion, or else nothing happens.
There may be situations where a player tries
to use this spell on an improvised staff. This may
work and it may not, depending on the materials they
use. Shatterstaff can only be cast on an object that
meets the definition of a "staff" as it is listed in the
weapons and equipment section of the Players
Handbook. It must weigh the same, be roughly the
same length and do the same amount of damage to
properly qualify as a staff. The spell cannot be cast on
maces, clubs or any other type of bludgeoning weapon
except for staves.
Skullbane
Transmutation [Evil, Light]
Level: 1st Cleric, 1st Evil, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch (to enchant the skull--once it has been
enchanted it will affect anything in a 15 foot radius)
Target: Enchants one skull of any type, large or
small.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates the damage, but
only for one round.
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Causes a skull to shine with a hellish
glow, illuminating everything in a 15 foot radius and
doing 1 point of damage per round to any Good
characters who stand within its fearful light. A
Willpower Saving Throw negates the damage, but a
good character must roll every round.
Any kind of skull can be used to cast this
spell, but if it is the skull of a Tiny Creature (or
smaller) then the radius of effect is reduced to five
feet. The skull must be in reasonably good condition--
roughly 60% intact. It is not consumed by the spell
and could easily be used to cast it again.
Focus: A skull.
Smash Law
Transmutation [chaos]
Level: 2nd Cleric
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 1 minute per caster level or until the first
time the spell is triggered, whichever comes first.
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The target’s next blow will do an extra
2d6 damage to any Lawful creature, character or
object. This effect cannot be held back. The next time
they hit a Lawful target (within the spell’s duration)
they will do an extra 2d6 damage to them, even if they
don’t want to, even if they’re trying to pull their punch
or to do nonlethal damage.
The effect is only triggered by actually

This effect cannot be held back. The next time they hit
one of the minions of chaos (within the spell’s
duration) they will do an extra 2d6 to them, whether
they wish to or not. The effect is only triggered by

actual physical attacks.

Song of the Red Moon

Evocation [evil, sonic]
Level: 3rd Bard, 3rd Cleric, 3rd D
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: See the Description
Duration: 2 rounds per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: A terrible howl comes up from the
Smite Evil caster's throat and strange wild music echoes across
Transmutation [good] the hills. All evil or neutral were-beasts within the
Level: 2nd Cleric spell's range are emboldened and make all their rolls at
Components: Verbal, Somatic
a +2 bonus for the spell's duration. Good were-
creatures are demoralized, must make an immediate
morale check, and suffer a -2 penalty on all their rolls
for the spell's duration. It does not matter what shapes
the lycanthropes wear or whether it is night or day.
If the spell is cast outside, at night you can
actually see an angry red caul creep across the moon's
face. This effect is only visible within the area of the
spell's effect.
The caster must concentrate and continue to
howl, taking no other actions, for as long as the spell
lasts. If their concentration is broken, the Song of the
Red Moon ends.
Steel Spirit
Abjuration [mind-affecting]
Level: 6th Cleric, 6th Protection, 7th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Grants the subject a temporary +10
bonus to resist any form of Enchantment or mental
domination with a Willpower Saving Throw.
Suggestion, Hypnosis, Geas, Fascination, Charm
Person, Sleep, Fear, Dominate, etc. all are blocked by
this spell. It also grants the subject a +8 bonus to
maintain their concentration if they are interrupted at
some task (this spell does not itself require them to
concentrate).
It does not provide them with any defense
against illusions, or against any magical attack that
requires a Reflexes or Fortitude Saving Throw. It does
not enhance any Willpower Saving Throw that is not
directly used to resist a magical attack. This is armor
for the outside of your spirit-it does not bolster your
spirit from within.
Strength of Stones
Transmutation [earth]
Level: 2nd Druid, 2nd Earth, 2nd Strength
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster. The
subject must be physically in contact with a mass of
stone.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level (but see the
Description)
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: Temporarily imbues the Target with an
extra five points of Strength and six points of
Constitution, but it only works while they are
physically in contact with a large mass of stone. The
moment they are no longer touching, the spell's effect
ends. If they come back into contact with a
sufficiently large mass of stone before the spell's
duration ends, the effect will resume
The DM must carefully adjudicate what
constitutes a "large mass" of stone. Here are some
rules to help make it less ambiguous. If the subject of
the spell is touching or standing on a mass of stone
that has more than twice their own weight, they gain
the spell's full protection. If the stone is between one
and two times the subject's weight, they gain only two
points of Strength and four of Constitution. If the
stone weighs less than they do, they don't gain
anything. If they aren't directly touching the stone (if
for example they are standing on a stone outcropping,
but wearing boots, or touching a stone wall through a
glove) then subtract one point of Strength and one
point of Constitution from the enhancement (minimum
of +0).
For one hour after the spell has been cast,
magical creatures associated with stone will make
reaction rolls to both the subject and the caster at a +2.
This bonus is only a +1 if the spell wasn't cast at full
strength.
Suppress Magic
Abjuration
Level: 2nd Bard, 2nd Cleric, 3rd Druid, 3rd Paladin,
2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: See the Description
Duration: Special, see the Description
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Removes a spell or suppresses the power
of a magic item until the next sunset. Once the sun
sets or 18 hours have elapsed, whichever happens first,
the magic will return This effect cannot be used to
extend a spell's Duration. When a spell has been
suppressed, its duration continues ticking away, and if
it expires before the Suppression wears off, it is lost.
A Detect Magic will reveal nothing until the magic
comes back.
Theophrastic Compass
Transmutation
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch (although once it has been cast there is
no limit to the range of the effect)
Target: Any two inanimate objects touched by the
caster
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Enchants two objects so that if they are
separated, one of them will always point toward the
other. There is no range limitation on this effect. If
the two objects are still on the same plane, one will
always point in the direction of the other. This is not a
strong pull. Anyone can easily resist the tendency of
the objects to twist in their grasp without even making
a roll. You have to suspend the object, perhaps from a
cord, and let it dangle for the length of a Standard
Action to get an accurate impression.
It is common for one object to be something
of great value and the other one to be something small
light and thin, like a stick or a needle, to make it easy
to track the larger object's whereabouts if it gets
stolen. Also commonly used on pairs of compass
needles, to help ships find each other at sea. It cannot
be cast on living things, or on objects that are larger
than Huge in size.
If you were to cast the spell on a pair of
Huge Objects, the DM would have to carefully
adjudicate what sort of apparatus you would have to
build in order to suspend one of them enough that you
could measure the direction it tends to point towards.
Should such a peculiar situation arise, the DM should
feel free to make the character spend a lot of money
building the necessary contraption takes considerably
longer than a Standard Action to use.
They Watch
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: 6th Cleric, 5th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: Area: 10 by 10 foot square
Duration: Lasts until the first time it is triggered, then
dissapates
Saving Throw: Reflexes save halves the damage
Spell Resistance: no
Description: This fiendish spell enchants a 10 by 10
foot square, drawing it to the attention of certain
sinister forces that lurk just outside the threshold of
time and space. They watch that spot, and they wait.
When the caster sets up the spell, he or she
will specify the conditions that will finally trigger it.
Something has to happen inside the enchanted area to
set the spell off. It’s up to the caster as to what that
something is. The set of conditions can be as complex
and as detailed as the caster likes. The instructions can
include proper names or pre-existing conditions, or
events that happen months or years apart. It could be
as simple as “the spell goes off the first time anyone
bigger than a fly walks into the square” or as complex
as “the spell goes off if the woman I am one day to be
betrothed to ever insults my family while standing on
that spot—but only if the neighboring kingdom has
won a war within the past five years (not just any
neighboring kingdom, but the one ruled by my
family’s hereditary enemies).”
In fact there’s just about no set of
instructions that would be too arbitrary or complex.
For They know things. They understand. They can
figure out what you meant. If the DM is capable of
understanding what the spellcaster intends when they
set up the spell, They do as well.
Nor will They attempt to pervert the caster’s
intent. They are certainly evil, but They disdain the
affairs of mortals enough that They are uninterested in
playing games with us. Beyond that, we understand
nothing of their motives, except that They like to rip
and rend and crush.
When the conditions of the spell are finally
met, a swarm of tentacles, claws and pincers
materialize out of thin air and attack everything in the
designated square. There is no escaping their clutch—
They’re everywhere. Everything in the affected square
will take 9d6 Slashing Damage. A Reflexes Saving
Throw will halve the damage. At the end of the round,
They disappear back to wherever They came from.
Anyone They killed vanishes too, never to be seen
again.
A character in the affected square can attack
the tentacles, pincers and so forth if it makes them feel
any better (each one is AC 16 and has 3 Hit Points)
but it won’t stop them from taking damage. The
spectral attackers are immune to mind-affecting spells,
and if someone tries to read their thoughts, they get
nothing but 2d6 Subdual damage for their efforts.
It is not good to be one who They have
touched. For 1d6 hours after the attack, any survivors
will find that everyone reacts to them at a –2,
somehow sensing the unnatural taint that clings to
them. Aberrations actually respond to them at a +2,
although this is unlikely to have much effect on things,
since few PCs who encounter a Beholder or a Black
Pudding will attempt to make conversation with them.
This Door Belongs to
Darkness
Transmutation [Evil]
Level: 4th Cleric, 3rd Evil, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 2 rounds
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One door or doorway, no bigger than "Huge"
in size
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Enchants a doorway so that only evil
creatures can safely pass through it. Only works on
artificial doorways, although the portal does not need
to have a hinged door attached.
 For the duration of the spell, any neutral or
good creature who passes through that door, in either
direction, takes 3d6 damage, and hears a voice
whisper angrily “this door belongs to darkness”. No
one but the character being damaged can hear the
voice, and the damage isn’t immediately visible,
although painful bruises will appear on their skin
within an hour or so and they will pass blood in their
waste for one or two days. There are no bolts of
lightning or other flashy magical effects.
For the next week, anyone who took damage
from this spell will resist disease at a –2 penalty.
The spell can affect as many creatures at
once as try to cross the threshold at the same time. It
won’t affect doors that are bigger than “Huge” in size,
but this is the only effective limit to how many
creatures it can affect at one time.
To trigger the spell, you must put at least
one foot over the door’s threshold. Being flung over
the threshold against your will does qualify and does
set off the spell. If a character puts one foot through
the door, takes damage and decides to withdraw,
effectively canceling their movement action, they
don’t take damage twice. Unfortunately, a character
who has passed all the way through the door and then
needs to go back out again isn’t so lucky. They will
take damage again as they pass through the doorway
from the other side, and hear the hateful voice whisper
its admonishment as they do.
The spell must be cast on an actual door or
doorway. A natural cave mouth won’t work, nor will
a hole than someone has bashed through a wall. It
must be a real doorway, created for that specific
purpose. This can create a few odd situations for a
DM to adjudicate. Does a blanket draped over the
mouth of a cave to keep out the cold make the opening
qualify as a doorway? My answer would be, only if
it’s meant to be a permanent or semi-permanent
arrangement, set up by someone who actually intends
to live in the cave and isn’t just stopping there for the
night. Does the mouth of a bear’s den qualify? I
would say no, without any clearly defined reason—it
just doesn’t feel like a doorway to me somehow. Your
answers may be different.
Focus: A door or doorway
This Water is Angry
Transmutation [water]
Level: 1st Sorcerer/Wizard, 2nd Cleric, 1st Druid
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 20 feet
Target: One quart of liquid
Duration: 1 round per caster level
Saving Throw: See Description
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Turns roughly one quart worth of water
into a boiling, bubbling froth of hate. A flask, pitcher
or skin full of the angry water can be used as a
grenade like weapon, doing 1d6 damage to the target
and 1 point of damage to anything else in a 5 foot
radius (a Reflexes Saving Throw negates the splash-
effect damage, but will not help the target). Anyone
can fling angry water at a target, it does not need to be
thrown by the spell’s caster. Touching the stuff will do
1d6 heat damage to whoever touches it and also break
the spell.
The spell can only be cast on liquids that are
mostly water. It will work on a bottle of wine or a
bowl of soup, but not on a pail of milk, a can of paint
or on an opponent’s internal body fluids. Nor will it
work on a volume of liquid greater than about a quart.
The sole exception to this last rule is if the
the spell is cast underwater, in which case it will
create a mobile globe of raging liquid that the caster
can fling at an opponent without any sort of
containment vessel. It will do only 1d4 damage to the
target if used underwater, plus 1 point of damage to
anything within a 5-foot radius. As on land, once the
caster makes the attack, the spell is broken whether the
angry water hit the target or not.
If the liquid is poured into a tub or small
pool where someone is bathing, the water dissipates
the effect to some degree. The target will
automatically take damage, but only 1d4 worth.
Thrumble's Thaumaturgic
Triple-Lock
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One door, trapdoor, or other portal that opens
and closes
Duration: Indefinite
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: Widespread use of the spell "Knock"
has created all kinds of security problems in the
magical world, since not even a "Wizard Lock" spell
is able to fully secure a room or chest against it.. Nor
is "Knock" a difficult or obscure spell—almost any
student of the arcane arts can be expected to know it
and so your treasures aren't safe from any of them.
The Thaumaturgic Triple-Lock goes a long
way toward rectifying this problem. It magically
locks doors, chests, etc. so securely that even a Knock
will not open them. Either the spellcaster who
enchanted the door must take the spell off of it, or the
door will have to be destroyed for anyone to get
through it.
The spell also reinforces whatever it is cast
on with an extra 5 points of Hardness and an extra 10
points of Resistance to Flame.
The caster can set simple conditions under
which the door will open without breaking the spell.
They could, for example, set it so that the door can
only be opened from one side, or so that it can only be
opened by the caster themselves, or so that it can only
be opened by someone wearing the caster's mark. The
conditions, if any, must be set at the time the spell is
cast and can't be changed.
As is always the case with spell conditions,
the magic isn't clever enough to cope with any
ambiguity. Unless the conditions are clearly and
unquestionably met (and this is of course exclusively
the DM's prerogative to asses) the door stays closed.
Nor can the spell cope with instructions that would
require it to read someone's mind. So, it cannot be set
to "admit only creatures who are friendly to me" since
it has no way of telling who is friendly and who is not.
The door will always stay closed if it can't determine
whether or not it should open.
Thunderous Blast
Transmutation [sonic]
Level: 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Focus
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Caster must touch the musical instrument to
enchant it. The attack it generates affects a 70 foot
cone, and the Deafening effect affects a 70 foot
semicircle
Target: Affects one musical instrument, which then in
turn emits a cone-shaped attack, surrounded by a
wider, semicircular area of effect.
Duration: Lasts until the spell has been triggered
three times.
Saving Throw: Reflexes halves, second Reflexes
Throw negates Deafening effect
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
Description: This spell imbues a horn with the ability
to unleash a devastating cone-shaped sonic attack. The
horn can be used three times before the magic runs
out. In addition to taking damage, anyone caught
within a 70 foot semicircular radius of the caster must
make a Reflexes Saving Throw or become Deaf for
2d8 rounds. Please note that it is possible to be
deafened without taking any damage from the
attack—the radius of this effect is much wider.
Deaf characters can’t use the skill “listen”
and suffer a –2 penalty to avoid being Surprised, but
also become immune to Bluff and Diplomacy rolls
(and mercifully unable to hear talk radio).
Focus: A horn. It can be any kind or horn, in any
condition, but no other sort of musical instrument will
do. Bagpipes qualify as horns (I’m sorry to say).
Total Awareness
Divination
Level: 2nd Cleric, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: 15 foot radius per caster level, always
centered on the caster
Duration: Concentration plus one round per caster
level (if the spell is cast on someone other than the
caster themselves, then it is the spell's recipient who
must concentrate to maintain the spell past the initial
rounds)
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The caster (or whoever the spell has
been cast upon) gains 360% perception. This sense is
not vision, although it does reveal things like color and
brightness, and it is not obscured by anything but a
solid object in its path. Smoke, mist, darkness, etc,
does not provide concealment or cover against this
kind of perception. Only hiding behind an actual
solid obstacle will do. Darkness doesn’t affect it
either—the new sense isn’t dependant on light.
If the character using this spell has been
blinded, deafened or otherwise had their senses
compromised, it has no effect whatever on this other,
magical sense. Magically invisible objects and
creatures are still invisible to them, but only have a
+4 AC bonus rather than the usual +8.
No one attacking the character from the
back or the side will gain any of the usual bonuses to
hit them, and the character can themselves attack
opponents flanking them at no penalty. They can even
even strike opponents standing directly behind them
with just a -2 penalty.
Trapdoor to Nowhere
Conjuration [teleportation]
Level: 6th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature, selected by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Reflexes Negates
Spell Resistance: no
Description: An unwelcome surprise for even the
doughtiest adventuter, this spell opens a small
interspatial portal under the target’s feet. If they fail
their Reflexes Saving throw, they fall through it, and
reappear four hundred feet above their starting
position. Apply standard falling damage. The spell
can’t be cast on any target bigger than “Large” in size.
While this spell can usually be cast on only
one target at a time, it will work just fine on a
character who is mounted on a riding animal (so long
as the beast isn’t any bigger than “large”), or on two or
more characters who are standing on each other’s
shoulders. To certain sorcerers, they’re no funnier
sight that a noble paladin plummeting to his doom
atop his valiant steed, their limbs flailing wildly as
they fall.
If the spell is cast underground, it will send
the targeted character either four hundred feet above
their present location, or up to the nearest empty
space, whichever is closer. It won’t dump them inside
solid matter.
The spell works on inanimate objects as well
as living ones, provided that they’re no bigger than
“Large”
A four hundred foot drop will take three
combat rounds, which might give the target time to
prepare some kind of magical defense, or perhaps to
write a very short will. The target’s companions could
use the time to find some way to rescue the
plummeting character, or to argue over how to divide
up their stuff. But then again, perhaps there is no need
to discuss how to distribute the target’s personal
belongings, since they will shortly distribute
themselves over a fairly wide area.
The White Death
Necromancy
Level: 4th Bard, 4th Cleric, 4th Druid, 5th
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 feet
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Lasts until negated by a Dispel Magic or
Remove Curse spell
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Infects the target with a particularly
gruesome and fast-acting pestilence. The White Death
will eat away one Hit Point per round until the target
either dies or is cured.
Its effects are amazingly unpleasant to
watch—the victim’s flesh turns white and crumbles
away like stale bread. This costs the victim 1 point of
Charisma per every five rounds.
After they have lost half their Hit Points, the disease
begins to damage their central nervous system,
eroding one point of Intelligence and one of Wisdom
every five rounds. In this stage of the disease, the
victim becomes prone to fits of dementia and must
make a Willpower Saving Throw every round or
suffer the effects of Confusion as per the spell. To
keep you from having to rumage through your
Player’s Handbook, here are the specifics.
Roll on the following table at the beginning
of each subject’s turn each round to see what a
confused character does in that round.
d% Behavior
01– Attack caster with melee or ranged weapons
10 (or close with caster if attack is not possible).
11– Act normally.
20
21– Do nothing but babble incoherently, rock in
50 place, clap hands, twitch, etc.
51– Flee away from caster at top possible speed.
70
71– Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a
100 familiar counts as part of the subject’s self).
A confused character who can’t carry out the
indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently
in a slobbering spastic frenzy. Attackers are not at any
special advantage when attacking a confused
character. Any confused character who is attacked
automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as
long as it is still confused when its turn comes. A
confused character will not make attacks of
opportunity against any creature that it is not already
devoted to attacking.
The Confusion caused by the White Death
only lasts for one round, although on the next round
the subject must make another Saving Throw.
Because the victim’s disintegrating mind
will have increasing difficulty fending off the
dementia, most victims of the White Death spend their
final moments in frothing madness. This is
particularly unfortunate, since once they lose half their
Hit Points, they will also become infectious. Anyone
who touches an infectious victim of the White Death
must make a Fortitude Saving Throw or become
infected with it themselves. Their clothing and any
personal gear they were carrying when they contracted
the disease are equally infectious. This effect lasts
until the moon next rises. Objects the victim has
merely touched, breathed on, etc, are not hazardous to
handle. Only their personal gear is contaminated.
The White Death is not a natural malady and
anyone with any experience or skill at treating the sick
will see at once that this is no illness born of this earth,
and that it must be the work of bad magic. Because of
its arcane nature, Dispel Magic, Cure Disease and
Remove Curse are all equally effective against it.
While any one of these spells will stop the disease and
cure any lingering dementia, only Remove Curse will
immediately restore the lost Hit Points and Stats.
Fortunately, because most of the White
Death’s victims go crazy and die within ten rounds,
outbreaks of the disease burn themselves out very
quickly. There has never been an actual epidemic—
yet.
Material Component: A small wad of contaminated
filth, the nastier, the better.
Unsavory Flavor
Transmutation
Level: 1st Druid, 1st Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The Spell’s target becomes unpleasant
for amorphous horrors to smell and taste. Slimes,
oozes, puddings, jellies and gelatinous cubes will only
attack the spell’s target if there is no other prey
available, and even then there is a 50% chance that
they will ignore them altogether. Please note that if
you encounter the same monstrosity on two seperate
occasions while the spell is still on, they are still
disinclined to eat you.
If an amorphous abberration is attacked by
someone who is using this spell, the creature will
reluctantly defend itself. If their attacker has
companiuons, it will try to attack the other characters
first unless that isn’t physically possible.
Venomous Glance
Evocation
Level: 4th Cleric, 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: None. Does not require so much as a
single word or gesture (but the caster must be able to
make eye contact with the target--see the Description)
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Fortitude save reduces damage by
half.
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The spellcaster shoots the target an evil
look. So evil, in fact, that it kills. This is a silent spell
that requires no gestures or other somatic components.
It requires direct line of sight and it can be cast only
on targets that are facing the caster and can see them.
It cannot be cast via scrying.
The caster must make eye contact with the
target to hurt them. In game terms this means that
they must overcome the target’s Dexterity with their
Charisma. If the caster fails, they lose the spell. If
they succeed, the target feels the sinister gaze knife
into them and fill their veins with poison. They must
make a Fortitude Saving Throw or take 1d8 poison
damage per round for 3 rounds. Despite the fact that
the damage is spread out over 3 rounds, they only get
to make one saving throw.
Even though the spell’s effects are invisible,
the target will know exactly who did this to them,
although whether or not they can convince anyone else
is another matter. The spell will not work on blind
characters or on creatures that are immune to natural
poisons. If a spellcaster attempts to use the Venomous
Glance on someone who is immune, the spell is lost.
Special magical items and spells that enhance the
target’s resistance to poison will help them make their
saving throw.
Wall of Bones and Filth
Conjuration (creation)
Level: 5th (Cleric), 4th (Sorcerer /Wizard)
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: Effect: Creates a wall of bones and rotting
garbage, up to 20 ft. long per caster level, or a ring-
shaped wall with a radius of up to 5 ft. per two levels;
in either either form it is 20 ft. high (S)
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: no
Description: This unwholesome spell creates a barrier
of bones, rotting trash and other yet more smelly and
less easily identifiable things, all constantly moving
and roiling with a nauseating motion.
The wall can be any size up to the maximum
(20 ft. long per caster level, or a ring-shaped wall with
a radius of up to 5 ft. per two caster levels), but it must
be continuous (it can’t start, stop and start again), and
nothing can block its path while it is being formed.
It’s quite unpleasant to be anywhere near
that wall. Just standing within ten feet of it requires
everyone but the spell’s caster to make a Fortitude
Saving Throw or suffer a –2 penalty on all their
actions.
 The wall cannot be seen through and
provides one hundred percent cover to anyone
standing on the far side of it. To pass the wall, you
have to dig your way through it. Each five-foot
section can absorb 60 points of damage (it has no
Hardness). Once you have dug out that section
(leaving bones and filth splattered everywhere) it
breaches the barrier and anyone can pass through that
spot. This does not break the spell.
Anyone who passed through or otherwise
came into physical contact with the wall will suffer a –
2 penalty on all Bluff, Diplomacy and Performance
rolls for the next three hours. Unless of course the
DM decides that they are trying to impress someone
who likes the smell of bones and filth.
Material Component: Some bone fragments mixed
together with some reeking filth. Best to keep this one
in a sealed vial until it’s needed.
everyone really is, how the whole world is suffering
every instant of its existence, etc. If they take any
damage, it snaps them out of their funk, and for the
rest of the spell’s duration they can function as though
they made their Saving Throw. Unless of course they
touch the wall again, in which case they whole process
starts over.
The wall itself can cover 1 ten foot square
per caster level. It can pass through the middle of a
square or along it’s edge—that’s up to the caster. The
wall can be any shape, but it must be continuous. It
cannot start, stop, and start again unless it has been
cast more than once. The spell “Permanency” can be
cast on a Wall of Grief, in which case characters who
touch it will suffer its effects for 1 minute per caster
level.

Wall of Grief
Conjuration (Creation) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 4th Bard, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: Creates a barrier 10 feet in width per caster
level
Duration: 1 minute per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower save reduces the effect,
and keeps the character from being incapacitated

Spell Resistance: yes
Description: Creates a shimmering, semi-solid wall of
utter and absolute misery. Anyone who touches it will
be consumed with sorrow, and fall to the ground,
weeping wretchedly.
The wall is only an inch or so thick and it’s
semi-transparent, like a thin sheet of water. Anything
on the far side of it effectively has 20% cover from the
rippling distortion of the light. It’s surface seems to

way for spells that have been stored on scrolls. If
either the magus who enchanted the scroll or the
character reading the spell off of the scroll is Evil,
then the target is protected by the warding and can use

If for some reason the target actually wants
to be subjected to an Enchantment which has been cast
by an Evil character they still must apply the +6

What is its True Worth?
Divination
Level: 2nd Bard, 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 10 feet per caster level
Target: One inanimate object or non-sentient animal,
selected by the caster
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Reveals the amount of money that
someone would reasonably be expected to pay for this
item. If an item is a fake, it doesn't reveal that it's
fraudulent, but it does reveal that it is worthless. If an
item is cloaked in an illusion to disguise its real worth,
the spell will reveal its actual value, but not what it
really looks like or even that it has an illusion on it
(although of course the caster is free to infer this for
themselves).
The spell usually goes by the prices listed in
the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master's
Guide, but adjusts its internal price list to take special
circumstances into account. So for example if
someone offered to sell the caster a flask of water in
the middle of the desert, the spell would reveal the
correct price for a flask of water under these
circumstances-the price that a savvy camel driver
would insist on.
If the caster is offered a poisoned, booby-
trapped or other harmful item, the spell will reveal
how much money it would cost to acquire this item to
use on someone else. The price of the poison or how
much the workmanship on the booby trap cost. Of
course a cautious character might at once guess that
something is wrong with an item if its cost reads
funny. Caveat emptor!
Who Am I?
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 2nd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One living subject touched by the caster, and
anyone who encounters them. See the Description for
details.
Duration: 10 minutes per caster level
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: For the spell’s duration, anyone who
meets the spell’s subject for the first time must make a
Willpower Saving Throw to be able to remember their
face. They only get one roll per encounter—if they
fail it they will never recall the face clearly.
If you have failed the roll once it has no
effect on subsequent Willpower Saving Throws. If
you encounter the same person again, and they are
once again using this spell, you have the same chance
to beat the spell as you did the first time you saw
them.
This spell does not keep anyone from
remembering the subject’s weight, height, age or
voice, but their face will be impossible to recall. The
DM should adjudicate this carefully. It would be an
excellent way for a healthy young male human to
conceal their identity, but it would be much harder for
say, a hunchbacked dwarf to use effectively (unless
for some reason there are a lot of hunchbacked dwarfs
around).
Wind of Razors
Evocation
Level: 3rd Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 10 foot wide path, 10 feet long per caster level
Target: Area: 10 foot wide straight path
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: A Reflexes save halves the damage
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Glittering shards of metal fly out of the
caster’s mouth, with a whistling, tinkling sound,
slashing everything in a 10 foot wide path for 1d6
point of damage per caster level (maximum of 15d6).
The razors vanish into nothingness once the spell is
over, although forensic science (if there is such a thing
in your campaign) will find traces of metal residue in
the wounds made by this spell. The residue is
microscopic, too small to alert a Detect Magic spell,
although it does have a few odd little magical
properties (for example it defies spectrographic
analysis, and vanishes from any bottle where more
than a microgram of it is collected at once)
Witch-Hammer
Evocation
Level: 2nd Cleric, 2nd Destruction, 2nd
Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 20 foot radius
Target: Any spellcasters within a s0 foot radius.
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Does 2d6 damage to any and every
spellcaster in a 20 foot radius (except of course for the
character who is casting the spell). It doesn’t matter
what Class they are—if they have the capacity to cast
spells without using a magic item, they will suffer the
damage. There is no way to hold back the effect of
the spell. Everyone who can be affected by it will be.

Saving Throw: See description
Spell Resistance: yes (harmless)
Description: The caster draws a circle on the ground
around the target, enclosing a space with a 5 foot
diameter. This takes a full round, so while the spell
can certainly be used on an unwilling target, they’re
unlikely to sit still for it unless they’re too badly
wounded to escape.
The spell gives the target back 1d6 Hit
Points if the target has lost any, and more importantly,
it stops them from losing any more hit points or
characteristic points from any disease, curse, or other
progressive debilitating condition. If for example a
character has been reduced to –5 HP from a sword-
wound, once the circle is drawn around them they will
regain 1-6 HP and even though they probably won’t
be restored to more than zero HP, they won’t lose any
more hit points from internal bleeding until they leave
the circle.
Alas, once the character leaves the circle
they also lose the hit points the spell has given them
back and if they are diseased or cursed they will
continue to lose points from their characteristics. If
they step back in, don’t re-roll the mount of hit points
they gain back, just make it the same number they
gained the first time.
To keep patients from wandering off, there
is a mild Compulsion worked into the spell. In order
to leave the circle, the spell’s subject must first make a
Willpower Saving Throw.
It’s one patient to a circle—you can’t cram
more people into the space, piling them on top of one
another or making them stand on one another’s toes.
The spell only works on the individual who the
spellcaster drew the circle around, so there’s no point
in kicking the patient out of their circle and trying to
use it yourself.
Focus: A circle, drawn on the ground.
You’re So Hideous,
Cringe in Shame
Transmutation
Level: 5th Bard, 3rd Cleric, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One creature, selected by the caster.
Duration: Indefinite, lasts until cured or dispelled
Saving Throw: Willpower negates
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: The target grows hideous, stupid, foul
and violent (and if they were already, then they grow
more so). If the target fails their saving throw, they at
once lose 2d6 Charisma (down to a minimum of 1pt)
and 2d6 Intelligence (also down to a minimum of 1
pt), but gain 2d6 points of Strength.
Characters with an animal-like intelligence
(4 or less) can’t speak, use tools, or use any of their
skills or feats, but can recognize their friends and will
follow them around to keep from feeling anxious and
alone. Characters with a Corey Feldman-like
Charisma (4 or less) are just really damn ugly.
The subject’s behavior grows violent,
pensive and erratic. Every round that they remain
under the effects of this curse, they must make a
Willpower Saving throw or become randomly
homicidal, attacking the nearest living creature with
whatever hand weapon is most convenient until it
stops moving. They are not capable of using Missile
weapons when they are homicidal A homicidal
character who hasn’t lost too much intelligence to
speak can warn their companions to stay way from
them or request help or in any other respect
communicate normally.
They can continue rolling every round to
shake off the homicidal compulsion, if they’re the sort
of character who doesn’t actually want to kill
everyone around them. However, if they make their
roll and recover their wits for a round, they still have
to roll again on the next one. Only a Dispel Magic,
Remove Curse or some super-powerful spell like Wish
can actually cure their condition.
Your Weapons Hate You
Now
Transmutation
Level: 3rd Bard, 4th Sorcerer/Wizard
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Close (25 feet +5 feet for every two caster
levels)
Target: One living subject, selected by the caster.
Duration: Lasts until negated by a Dispel Magic or
Remove Curse spell
Saving Throw: Special--see Description
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The target must make a Charisma-based
Saving Throw, or lose their Martial Weapon
proficiency until the spell runs out. Worse, every
round they hold a martial weapon, they take one point
of non-lethal damage. This effect applies even to
intelligent weapons that have some kind of special
bond with the target.
To take damage, the subject must
intentionally hold the weapon in their hand (or
whatever equivalent they use, if the creature doesn’t
have hands in the conventional sense). You can't hurt
them by, for example, holding the flat of a sword
against their skin. It does not matter whether they hold
the forbidden weapon in their bare hand, or whether
they wear a glove or gauntlet. It affects them just the
same.
The spell can be broken with either a Dispel
Magic or a Remove Curse. The caster can also set a
simple, one sentence condition for breaking the spell,
of no more than five words in length. This spell has
no effect on characters that do not have the Martial
Weapon proficiency. It fails and is lost if it is cast on
them.

Spell Resistance: yes
Description: Creates an area 10 feet by ten feet times
the caster’s level in size, where any living being starts
to hemorrhage, doing 1d6 damage to themselves every
round (up to a maximum of 20d6). This damage
completely bypasses both armor and toughness.
Damage Resistance has no effect on it. The victims’
veins start to rupture and leak from the inside, where
they don’t have any armor.
The caster can shape the area however they
like, although once they’ve set its boundaries they
can’t change it without re-casting the spell. Its edges
are not visible to the naked eye—the zone doesn’t
glow or anything like that. But you’ll certainly feel it
once you step inside. If nothing else, you may start to
wonder why your boots are filling up with blood.
The effects are subtle for the first two or
three points of damage. Bloody spots appear on the
whites of the victim’s eyes, bluish bruises emerge all
over their skin, scattered around like the blotches on a
withering banana. Once they’ve taken more than three
points of damage the effects become blatant and
gruesome. Blood starts leaking out of their noses,
mouths, ears, the corners of their eyes and the pores of
their skin.
Anyone who takes four or more points of
damage should start making Reflexes Saving Throws
vs. DC 15 each round to keep from getting blood in
their eyes. Anyone who fails the roll will suffer a –2
penalty until they leave the Zone of Blood and take a
standard action to wipe their face.
The caster cannot decide to spare certain
creatures and let others take damage. Anyone who has
blood will suffer the effects of the spell. If the caster
wanders into the zone themselves, they too will
rupture and bleed.
Creatures who don’t have blood are
unaffected by the zone. Constructs, immaterial
beings, creatures in gaseous form, plant-beings,
entities made out of shambling piles of glop (oozes,
puddings, slimes, etc.), and most of the Undead are
totally immune to this spell. Vampires are the sole
exception. If a vampire has fed within the past six
hours, they take 1d3 damage per round from the Zone
of Blood, up to a maximum of 15d3. Otherwise the
zone does not affect them. There may be other
creatures (certain types of extra-planar beings, for
example) who don’t have blood and who therefore
aren’t harmed by the Zone. The DM should
adjudicate this carefully. Most extra-planar creatures
who resemble earthly animals (Ki-Rin, Coatls, Devas)
