To use this ability, the recipient must spend one round "switching" his sensory input. While using this capability, he must keep his eyes closed. This spell will reduce a thief's move silently percentages by 50%. Also invisible creatures may be "seen" using this spell. When using this ability, if the recipient is within the effect of a shout spell, horn of blasting, or similar phenomenon, then he must make a save versus death or be stunned for 1d6 rounds and have a 40% chance of becoming deaf (eardrum ruptures). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command II (Enchantment/Charm) Sphere: Charm Range: 3" + 1" per level (and within hearing range) Components: V Duration: 2 rounds Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: One creature Saving Throw: None This spell is an improved version of the Command spell (see the first level priest spell Command).

The base damage is 2d6 +1 per level for small or medium, and 3d6 + 1 per level for large creatures. The creature saves for 1/2 damage, and those that fail are affected as follows: Large: Creature falls down. Medium: Creature pushed back 4+1d4 feet, Dex check to stay on feet. Small: Creature thrown back the number of feet equal to the damage they took. They also take another 1d6 points of damage when they land. This spell does not insure a safe landing, and if the creature is in a position where a fall would do extra damage, like mounted on a horse for example, extra damage may occur. The material component is a carved (or created) stone hand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flame/Frost Blade (Evocation) Sphere: Creation, Combat Range: 0 Components: VSM Duration: 1 round per level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 3' long, sword-like blade Saving Throw: None When a druid casts this spell, he or she causes a blazing ray or red-hot fire or a freezing icicle to spring forth from his or her hand. This blade is actually wielded as if it were a scimitar (but it is not a scimitar), and is the druid scores a successful hit while employing the blade, the creature struck will take 2d6 points of damage - with a damage bonus of +2 if the creature is especially vulnerable to that attack form (i.e. fire vs undead, ice para-elementals and frost vs red dragons or fire elementals). The flame blade will ignite combustible materials. The blade will not affect creature that can be hit by magic weapons except with respect to undead monsters. In addition to mistletoe, the druid must have a leaf of sumac in order to cast this spell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heliot's Healing Sleep (Necromancy) Sphere: Healing Components: VSM Range: 0 Duration: 4 hours + 2 hours per level Area of Effect: 1 person Casting Time: Special Saving Throw: None This spell causes the healing benefits of sleep to be threefold (i.e. 3 HP per day rested). Additionally this spell causes any and all curative spells cast during its duration to have maximum effect plus 1 HP. The individual to be effected must be able to sleep, and must be asleep during the spells effect. The casting time of this spell is 6 turns minus the caster's level, with a minimum of one turn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inaudibility (Alteration) Sphere: Protection Range: 0 Components: VSM Duration: 5 rounds per level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Caster Saving Throw: None This spell causes the cleric's movements to become completely silent for the duration of the spell. All sounds made by his or her equipment from the neck down are muted into inaudibility. Intentional shouting or spell casting can be heard, and will negate the inaudibility for the duration of said noise. Attacking completely negates the spell effect (Cf. Invisibility). The material component is a piece of sea sponge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nausea (Enchantment/Charm) Reversible (Abjuration) Sphere: Charm, Healing, Protection Range: 30 yards Components: VSM Duration: 1 round per level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: One creature Saving Throw: Negates This spell causes the recipient to fall to its knees and choke, gag and vomit for 1 round per level of the caster. No actions are allowed other than crawling. The material component for this spell is a bucket. The reverse of this spell removes nausea or protects a character from such things as Stinking Clouds and seasickness for 1 turn per level of the caster. The material component for the reverse is some food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planar Vision (Divination) Sphere: Astral, Divination Range: 0 Components: VS Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: Line of sight Saving Throw: None Using this spell, the priest can perceive creatures in the Border Ethereal, out of phase beings (i.e. phase spiders), Dimension Doors, creatures viewing his location through Colour Pools, and boundaries of plane-travel-proof areas; he can also identify portals to other planes (but he cannot say what plane is on the other side). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protection from Charm, 10' Radius (Abjuration) Sphere: Protection Range: 0 Components: VSM Duration: 2 rounds per level Casting Time: 5 segments Area of Effect: 10' radius Saving Throw: None While this spell is in operation, all creatures in the area of effect have a percentage immunity to all forms of charm (spell, item, or whatever) equal to 20% plus 5% per level of the cleric. Thus, if cast by a 5th level cleric, any creature in the area of effect targeted by a charm spell would not need to make a saving throw if 45% or lower was rolled on percentile dice. The material component is a miniature cloth blindfold. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resist Eye Contact (Abjuration) Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Components: VSM Duration: 1 round per level Casting Time: 2 segments Area of Effect: One creature per level of the cleric Saving Throw: None This spell gives +4 on all saving throws versus gaze weapons for each creature touched. Note: this does not apply to beings whose gaze weapons do not require the victim to meet the attacker's gaze. The material component is a small disc of translucent material such as mica or smoked glass. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stone Message (Evocation) Sphere: Divination Range: Special Components: VSM Duration: 1 minute once contact (if any) is made Casting Time: 1 round Area of Effect: Two special prisms Saving Throw: None The caster casts this spell directly into the prism on his holy symbol (this spell was created for a diety whose symbol is a hand grasping a prism). The caster then names (not by truename) the person he or she wants to talk to. If this target person is within 1" of a holy symbol to the same diety (thus that holy symbol also has a prism in it), then the target person will notice that the prism flashes. Only the target person will notice the flashes of light. When the target person touches the holy symbol, the prism will show the face of the caster, and the caster's prism will show the face of the target person. The caster can then talk into his prism and hold a short conversation with the target person. If the target person is not within 1" of a specified holy symbol, the caster will feel like the spell was a dud. The spell will wait 1 minute for the person answer. If the person did not answer, the caster will know that the person did not answer. Idle chatter is not being appreciated by the diety (noise pollution on his holy waves). Quick conversations are appreciated. There is also a 5% chance that someone or something associated with the diety (one of his clerics or minions) will notice and remember the conversation. This does not mean the cleric or minion will do anything, just that others may be listening in. The material components for this spell are the two needed holy symbols, and are obviously not consumed in the casting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stop (Enchantment/Charm) Sphere: Charm Range: 3" Components: VS Duration: 1 round per level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: A cone, 1" per level long, 2" per level wide at base Saving Throw: Negates This spell is intended for those times an army is racing toward you in a charge. Each creature in the cone will have to save vs. spell or come to a sudden full stop as if it ran into a solid wall (no damage is caused, they just stop). For the rest of the duration, those that did not save can not move towards caster. Those that did make their save can move towards the caster only at half rate. To cast this spell, the cleric puts his or her open hand forward and yells stop (like a traffic cop). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summon Swarm (Conjuration/Summoning) Sphere: Animal, Summoning Range: 3" + 1" per level above 5th Components: Duration: 1 + 1 per level above 3rd Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1" per level Savings Throw: None This spell is similar to Insect Plague, but the insects summoned are of a specific type (with specific effects) depending on the cleric's deity, for example: Deity Insect Effect --------- ------- ------------------------------------- Beelzebub Flies 15% + 2% per level chance of causing disease Seth Locusts 2 hp per round to creatures caught in swarm + infestation of food. For other effects, see the fifth level cleric spell Insect Plague. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracking (Divination) Sphere: Divination Range: 0 Components: VSM Duration: 1 turn + 1 turn per level Casting Time: 2 rounds Area of Effect: Caster Saving Throw: None With this spell, the casting druid is temporarily endowed with tracking ability similar to that of a ranger. However the tracking spell is better. Using this spell, the druid becomes not only aware of all physical traces, but psychic traces too. Thus a creature who has traveled using pass without trace. This makes almost anything trackable, even aerial creatures (those who leave strong enough psychic impressions at least). There are some restrictions though. The druid must have an item that belonged to the creature being tracked. Furthermore tracking with this spell must begin at a point that the creature has been within the past half hour. The other component for the spell is mistletoe of course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wild Deer Speed (Alteration, Enchantment) Sphere: Animal Range: 0 Components: VSM Duration: 1 turn + 1 round per level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Caster Saving Throw: None This spell confers the speed of a deer upon the spell caster. It allows the druid to increase his or her running rate (double normal movement speed, usually 18" or 24") by 1" per 2 levels of the druid. Also, while under this spell's effect, the druid does not become fatigued or winded by running at such a fast pace. Furthermore, the druid can leap forward for 10' + 1' per level when running. The material component for this spell is mistletoe plus a chip of deer's hoof.
