========================================================================== Seventh Level Spells ========================================================================== Awaken Forest (Enchantment/Charm, Divination) Sphere: Plant Range: 10 + 1 mile per level radius Components: VSM Duration: 1 hour per level Casting Time: 2 hours Area of Effect: 10 + 1 mile per level radius Saving Throw: None With this ceremony, the druid call upon and wakens the spirit of the forest. The effects are that the druid becomes one with the trees in the area of effect. Whatever happens in that area, the druid instantaneously knows. He has the power to cause 1 tree per level within that area to animate as if it were a treant. Any real treants in the area become aware of him and are receptive to any suggestions made by the druid. A Changestaff (cf. Changestaff spell) is needed to if any trees are animated. Each tree animated reduced the Changestaff by one hit die. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henley's Digit of Disruption (Evocation) Sphere: Combat Components: VS Range: 1/2" per level Casting Time: 7 segments Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: Target creature This spell is a powerful weapon against undead creatures. When it is cast, a thin ray about 1 cm in diameter springs forth from the cleric's pointing finger and strikes the selected target. Any undead creature so struck must save versus magic or take 6d8 of damage and roll on percentile dice as if hit with a Mace of Disruption. If the save is made, the affected creature takes 4d8 of damage, with the remaining 2d8 striking the cleric in a backlash of energy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lifeforce (Alteration, Evocation) Sphere: Combat Range: 9" Components: VSM Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: Caster and target creature Saving Throw: None Through the use of this spell, the caster is pitting his or her lifeforce against that of the target creature. This is the pure confrontation of two being's will to live. Each rolls 1d20 and adds it to his or her or its CURRENT hit points. This can be modified by bless, chant, prayer, ring of protection, cloak of protection, luckstone, luck sword, wisdom bonus, etc. If the target creature's total is less than 1/2 the caster's total, then the target creature is overwhelmed and dies (in this case, the caster suffers fatigue equal to 1/2 the target's roll in hit points). If the target creature's total is less than the caster's total but more than 1/2 the caster's total, then the target is stunned for 2d4 rounds (-5 to AC, initiatives, saves, "to hit" and damage rolls) and the caster suffers fatigue equal to the difference in totals. If the target's total is more than the caster's, then the caster dies and the target suffers damage equal to the difference in totals. Fatigue is recovered at a rate of 1 hit point per round. The material component for this spell is the cleric's holy or unholy symbol, a pair of ivory six-sided dice (worth 200 gp) and a drop of the caster's blood. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Razorwind (Alteration, Evocation) Sphere: Elemental (Air), Combat Range: 5 yards per level Components: VSM Duration: 1 Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: One creature Saving Throw: Special By means of this spell, the caster brings about a transformation of the air about himself, "compressing" large volumes of it into a minute area and sending it at a target. Though this wind has no actual "edge," it is highly effective when it strikes its target, causing 1d8 (1-8) points of damage per level of the caster. In addition, the victim of the Razorwind must make a saving throw vs. Rods or an extremity will be severed (as per a blow from a Sword of Sharpness)! This saving throw is modified by "+1" for each plus of magical armour the target is wearing (ONLY armour; not shields, rings, bracers, etc). In addition persons wearing plate mail or better receive an extra "+1" on the saving roll. Because such a large volume of air is needed to create the Razorwind, this spell can only be cast outdoors or in a chamber of vast size (DM's discretion). If it is cast in a smaller, confined area (e.g., indoors or underground passage), it will not function and everyone in the area will suffer a momentary loss of air. The material components for this spell are the holy symbol of the caster, a bloodstone, and a small, flat piece of steel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Treegrowth (Alteration) Sphere: Plant Range: Touch Components: VSM Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 7 rounds Area of Effect: one hit die per level of caster, one creature, or one building Saving Throw: Negates Causes a plant of desired type to start growing upon the target, which can be a person, building.. whatever. This plant shall feed on the life force of the target creature, or if cast on something that has none, then on whatever other energy it can find and use. If the target is a building, then the plant shall simply grow in/on/around it, possibly causing structural damage, as specified by the druid. It takes seven hours for the plant to grow to full size, so this spell shall not work as an Instant Ladder. It can, on the other hand, be used to hide an entrance or make a treasure cache quite undetectable. If the target is a creature with life force (or other energy, undeads and golems are not immune), the plant shall feed on the life force of the target creature, draining one level of energy until the target is dropped to -1 hit dice, and dies. The abilities fall as fast as the hit dice. So, a ninth level character with strength 18 and intelligence 9 would lose 2 points of strength, 1 hit die, and 1 point of intelligence, among other things, for nine rounds, and then die. The corpse of the target creature shall then turn into parts of the plant. For this, Raise Dead etc. is not possible, having intelligence zero makes Speak with Dead impossible. On the other hand, such a victim can Reincarnate, and Talk with Plants is not hindered, as the mind remains within the plant. A spell that is very seldom used by druids because of its long casting time and obvious evilness. It is used on old druids that feel their life is at an end and wish to live on in the grove, or as a partial retribution on those who destroy plant life needlessly or violate any dryad, supposing either is within the protection of a druid.
