Summoner 3.5 - Spells

[RuleSpectre]

Level 0 Spells

Anticipate Teleportation
(Complete Arcane, p. 97)

Abjuration
Level: Sorcerer 4, Wizard 4, Spellthief 4, Summoner 0
Components: V, S, AF,
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: One willing creature touched
Area: 5-ft./level radius emanation from touched creature
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

The subject of the spell is surrounded with an invisible aura that anticipates and delays the teleportation of any creature into the spell's area. Any teleportation spell or effect (including all spells with the teleportation descriptor) can be anticipated, making the spell's recipient instantly aware of the exact location where the teleporting creature will arrive (subject to the restrictions below), the creature's size, and how many other creatures (and their sizes) are arriving with the teleporting creature. The spell also delays the arrival of the teleporting creature by 1 round (so that it arrives on its initiative count immediately before its next turn), generally giving the recipient of the spell and anyone else made aware of the information 1 round to act or ready actions. The teleporting creature does not perceive this delay.
Since a teleporting creature doesn't necessarily arrive at the precise location it intends, the spell also functions against a creature that arrives in range even though its intended destination was elsewhere. For a creature that intends to teleport into range but inadvertently arrives outside the spell's area, the spell gives the recipient awareness that a creature has attempted to teleport into range and delays the creature as normal, but doesn't give any awareness as to the actual location of its imminent arrival.
The spell has no effect on creatures attempting to teleport away from the spell's area, though if their destination is within the area, the spell will affect their reentry as normal.
Focus: A tiny hourglass of platinum and crystal costing 500 gp, which must be carried or worn by the spell's recipient while the spell is in effect.


Caltrops
(Spell Compendium, p. 42)

Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sorcerer 0, Wizard 0, Summoner 0
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25ft. + 5ft./2 levels)
Area: See text
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You speak the words and spread your palm open, as if you were throwing jacks. Coppery sparks spring from your palm, filling the corridor with small four-pronged spikes.
A caltrops spell covers one 5-foot-by-5-foor square with caltrops. Every time a creature moves into an area covered by caltrops or spends a round fighting while standing in such an area, it might step on one. The caltrops make one attack roll (+0 melee) against the creature. For this attack, the target 's shield and deflection bonuses do not count, nor does its armor bonus for armor worn. A target wearing shoes or other footwear gains a +2 armor bonus to Armor Class (which does count). If the caltrops succeed on the attack, the creature has stepped on one.
A successful attack by a caltrop deals 1 point of damage. If the target is Small, Medium, or Large, its land speed is reduced by one half because of the injury. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours, until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check, or until it receives at least 1 point of magical healing. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it steps on a caltrop. Any creature moving at half speed or slower can pick its way through a bed of caltrops with no trouble.
The DM judges the effectiveness of caltrops against unusual opponents or opponents outside the size range given above. A giant centipede, for example, can scramble among the caltrops with no chance of hurting itself, and a fire giant wearing thick, massive boots might be immune to their attacks.
For every two caster levels beyond 1st, you can affect an additional 5-foot-by-5-foot square, and the caltrops' attack bonus increases by 1. Thus, you affect two squares at 3rd level (+1 melee), three at 5th level (+2 melee), four at 7th level (+3 melee), and a maximum of five at 9th level or higher (+4 melee maximum).
Multiple caltrops spells (or mundane caltrops) occupying the same space have no additional effect.


Resist Planar Alignment
(Spell Compendium, p. 174)

Abjuration
Level: Cleric 1, Druid 1, Paladin 1, Ranger 1, Sorcerer 1, Wizard 1, Spellthief 1, Consecrated Harrier 1, Hades (SpC) 2, Limbo (SpC) 2, Summoner 0
Components: V, S, DF,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 10 minutes/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You can tell that your target feels the oppression of the plane around you, the rank evil of the place. A few spoken phrases, backed by magical power, and that oppression seems to lift.
This abjuration grants a creature limited protection from a plane's alignment traits (DMG 149). When the subject visits a plane with an alignment trait, this spell grants it immunity to penalties on its Charisma-based checks that mildly aligned planes impose on visitors of opposed alignments. The Charisma-, Wisdom-, and Intelligence based check penalties associated with strongly aligned planes are halved while the spell's duration lasts.
 
SRD:Darkness

Evocation [[[SRD:Darkness Effect|Darkness]]]

Level:
Asn 2, Blg 2, Brd 2, Clr 2, Sor/Wiz 2, Summoner 0

Components:
V, M/DF
Casting time:
1 standard action

Range:
Touch
Target:
Object touched
Duration:
10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw:
None
Spell Resistance:
No

This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.
Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of brightening the area, as are light spells of lower level. Higher level light spells are not affected by darkness.
If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell’s effect is blocked until the covering is removed.
Darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower spell level.
Arcane Material Component: A bit of bat fur and either a drop of pitch or a piece of coal.


SRD:Detect Magic

Divination

Level:
Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0, Summoner 0

Components:
V, S
Casting time:
1 standard action

Range:
60 ft.
Area:
Cone-shaped emanation
Duration:
Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D)

Saving Throw:
None
Spell Resistance:
No

You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
1st Round: Presence or absence of magical auras.
2nd Round: Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.
3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)
Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras.
Aura Strength: An aura’s power depends on a spell’s functioning spell level or an item’s caster level. If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two.
Spell or Object Aura Power
Faint Moderate Strong Overwhelming
Functioning spell (spell level)
3rd or lower 4th–6th 7th–9th 10th+ (deity-level)
Magic item (caster level)
5th or lower 6th–11th 12th–20th 21st+ (artifact)
Lingering Aura: A magical aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a spell) or is destroyed (in the case of a magic item). If detect magic is cast and directed at such a location, the spell indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power:
Original Strength
Duration of Lingering Aura
Faint 1d6 rounds
Moderate 1d6 minutes
Strong 1d6x10 minutes
Overwhelming 1d6 days
Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are summoned, the conjuration spell registers.
Each round, you can turn to detect magic in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
Detect magic can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
 

SRD:Detect Poison

Divination

Level:
Asn 1, Clr 0, Drd 0, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 0, Summoner 0

Components:

Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target or Area:
One creature, one object, or a 5-ft. cube
Duration:
Instantaneous
Saving Throw:
None
Spell Resistance:
No

You determine whether a creature, object, or area has been poisoned or is poisonous. You can determine the exact type of poison with a DC 20 Wisdom check. A character with the Craft (alchemy) skill may try a DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check if the Wisdom check fails, or may try the Craft (alchemy) check prior to the Wisdom check.
The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
 
SRD:Light

Evocation [[[SRD:Light Effect|Light]]]

Level:
Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0, Summoner 0

Components:
V, M/DF
Casting time:
1 standard action

Range:
Touch

Saving Throw:
None
Spell Resistance:
No

This spell causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 20 feet) from the point you touch. The effect is immobile, but it can be cast on a movable object. Light taken into an area of magical darkness does not function.
A light spell (one with the light descriptor) counters and dispels a darkness spell (one with the darkness descriptor) of an equal or lower level.
Arcane Material Component: A firefly or a piece of phosphorescent moss.
 

SRD:Protection from Evil

Abjuration [[[SRD:Good Effect|Good]]]

Level:
Clr 1, Good 1, Pal 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Summoner 0

Components:
V, S, M/DF
Casting time:
1 standard action

Range:
Touch
Target:
Creature touched
Duration:
1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw:
Will negates (harmless)

Spell Resistance:
No; see text

This spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects.
First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.
Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting the protected creature, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from evil effect. If the protection from evil effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature. Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment.
Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Good summoned creatures are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.
Arcane Material Component: A little powdered silver with which you trace a 3-foot -diameter circle on the floor (or ground) around the creature to be warded.
 

SRD:Read Magic

Divination

Level:
Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 0, Summoner 0

Components:
V, S, F
Casting time:
1 standard action

Range:
Personal
Target:
You
Duration:
10 min./level
Saving Throw:
None
Spell Resistance:
{{{sr}}}

By means of read magic, you can decipher magical inscriptions on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, and the like—that would otherwise be unintelligible. This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a cursed scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and you have read the magical inscription, you are thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of read magic. You can read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. The spell allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a DC 13 Spellcraft check, a greater glyph of warding with a DC 16 Spellcraft check, or any symbol spell with a Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level).
Read magic can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
Focus: A clear crystal or mineral prism.
 

Resist Planar Alignment

Level 1 Spells

Avoid Planar Effects
(Manual of the Planes)

Abjuration
Level: Cleric 2, Druid 2, Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3, Spellthief 3, Summoner 1
Components: V,
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 20 ft.
Target: One creature/level in a 20-ft.-radius burst centered on you
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

You gain a temporary respite from the natural effects of a specific plane.
These effects include extremes in temperature, lack of air, poisonous fumes, emanations of positive or negative energy, or other attributes of the plane itself.
Avoid planar effects provides protection from the 3d10 points of fire damage on a plane with the fire-dominant trait.
Avoid planar effects lets a character breathe water on a water-dominant plane and be immune to suffocation on an earth-dominant plane.
A character protected by avoid planar effects can't be blinded by the energy of a major positive-dominant plane and automatically stops gaining temporary hit points when they equal the character's normal hit point total.
Negative-dominant planes don't deal damage or bestow negative levels to characters protected by avoid planar effects.
In addition, some effects specific to a plane are negated by avoid planar effects.
In the D&D cosmology, avoid planar effects negates the deafening effect of Pandemonium and the cold damage on the Cania layer of the Nine Hells.
You can add additional protections for a cosmology you create.
If you have an Elemental Plane of Cold, for example, avoid planar effects protects against the base cold damage suffered by everyone on the plane.
The effects of gravity traits, alignment traits, and magic traits aren't negated by avoid planar effects, nor is the special entrapping trait that some planes have (Elysium and Hades in the D&D cosmology).
The spell does not provide protection against creatures, native or otherwise, nor does it protect against spells, special abilities, or extreme and nonnatural formations within the plane.
This spell allows you to survive on the Elemental Plane of Earth, but it won't protect you if you walk into a pool of magma on that same plane.


SRD:Comprehend Languages

Divination
Level: Brd 1, Clr 1, Mind 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Summoner 1
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 10 min./level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: {{{sr}}}

You can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages. In either case, you must touch the creature or the writing. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. The spell enables you to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write it.

Written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. Magical writing cannot be read, though the spell reveals that it is magical. This spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the secret page and illusory script spells). It does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text.

Comprehend languages can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

Arcane Material Component: A pinch of soot and a few grains of salt.


SRD:Grease

Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Summoner 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target or Area: One object or a 10-ft. square
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.

Material Component: A bit of pork rind or butter.


Portal Beacon
(Manual of the Planes)

Transmutation
Level: Cleric 1, Sorcerer 1, Wizard 1, Spellthief 1, Summoner 1
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One interplanar portal
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You may alter a magic portal so it sends out a mental beacon for up to six creatures, including yourself if you choose.
These individuals must be known to you but need not be present at the time of casting.
Once you cast portal beacon, these creatures always knows the direction and distance to the targeted portal.
Moving to a plane other than the two connected by the portal ends portal beacon for that creature but leaves it intact for others.
You may have any number of portal beacons tuned to you without impairing other abilities or actions.


Conjure Ice Beast I
(Frostburn)

Conjuration (Creation) [Cold]
Level: Cleric 1, Druid 1, Ranger 1, Consecrated Harrier 1,
Components: V, S, DF,
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One conjured ice creature
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell creates a creature constructed from magical ice.
It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn.
It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability.
If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions.
The spell conjures one of the creatures from the 1st-level list of either the summon monster table or the summon nature's ally table (pages 287-288 of the Player's Handbook).
The conjured creature cannot have the fire subtype.
You choose which kind of creature to conjure, and you can change that choice each time you cast the spell.
The conjured creature is a construct made of magical ice, gaining the ice beast template (see page 138).
In all other ways, conjure ice beast I functions like summon monster I.



SRD:Summon Monster I

Conjuration (Summoning, [see text])
Level: Blg 1, Brd 1, Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, F/DF
Casting time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One summoned creature
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider, elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions.

The spell conjures one of the creatures from the 1st-level list on the accompanying Summon Monster table. You choose which kind of creature to summon, and you can change that choice each time you cast the spell.

A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities. Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that cannot support them.

When you use a summoning spell to summon an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.

Arcane Focus: A tiny bag and a small (not necessarily lit) candle.

Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One summoned creature
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

The undead you summon appear in a burst of smoke and fog. The vapor swiftly dissipates, but you can't shake the impression of screaming faces in the cloud's tendrils.

This spell functions like summon monster I (PH 285), except that you summon an undead creature.

Summon undead I conjures one of the creatures from the 1st-level list in the accompanying sidebar. You choose which creature to summon, and you can change that choice each time you cast the spell. Summoned undead do not count toward the total Hit Dice of undead that you can control with animate dead or the other command undead abilities. No undead creature you summon can have more Hit Dice than your caster level +1.

Focus: A tiny bag, a small (not lit) candle, and a carved bone from any humanoid.

Effect: A straight wall whose area is up to one 10-ft. square/level (S)
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text
Spell Resistance: No

This spell creates a thin wall of black smoke. The wall is stationary once created. The wall blocks sight to a limited degree. Creatures on opposite sides of the wall that cannot see over it gain concealment from each other. A creature can pass through a wall of smoke, but must make a Fortitude save to avoid being nauseated for 1 round.

A moderate wind (11+mpg), such as from a gust of wind spell, destroys the wall in 1 round.

This spell does not function underwater.

Analyze Portal
(Manual of the Planes)

Divination
Level: Bard 3, Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3, Spellthief 3, Summoner 2
Components: V, S, M,
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 60 ft.
Area: A quarter circle emanating from you to the extreme of the range
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

You can tell whether an area contains a magic portal.
If you study an area for 1 round, you know the sizes and locations of any portals in the area.
Once you find a portal, you can study it.
(If you find more than one portal, you can only study one at a time).
Each round you study a portal, you can discover one property of the portal, in this order:

Any key or command word needed to activate the portal.
Any special circumstances governing the portal's use (such as specific times when it can be activated).
Whether the portal is one-way or two-way.
Any of the usual properties described in the Magic Portals section of Chapter 2.
Finally, a glimpse of the area where the portal leads.

You can look at the area where the portal leads for 1 round; the range of the caster's vision is the spell's range.
Analyze portal does not allow other divination spells or spell-like abilities to extend through the portal.
For example, you cannot also use detect magic or detect evil to study the area where the portal leads while viewing the area with analyze portal.
For each property, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against DC 17.
If fail, you can try again the next round.
Analyze portal has only a limited ability to reveal unusual properties, as follows:
Random Portals: The spell reveals only that the portal is random and whether it can be activated now.

It does not reveal when the portal starts or stops functioning.
Variable Portals: The spell reveals only that the portal is variable.

If the caster studies the portal's destination, the spell reveals only the destination to which the portal is currently set.
Creature-Only Portals: The spell reveals this property.

If the caster studies the portal's destination, the spell reveals where the portal sends creatures.
If it is the kind of portal that sends creatures one place and their equipment another place, the spell does not reveal where the equipment goes.
Malfunctioning Portals: The spell reveals only that the portal is malfunctioning, not what sort of malfunction the portal produces.

Material Components: A crystal lens and a small mirror.


Baleful Transposition
(Miniatures Handbook)

Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Sorcerer 2, Wizard 2, Summoner 2
Components: V,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: Two creatures of up to Large size
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

Two target creatures, of which you may be one, instantly swap positions.
The creatures must be connected by a solid object, such as the ground, a bridge, or a rope.
Both targets must be within range.
Objects carried by the subject creatures (up to the creatures'
maximum loads) go with them, but other creatures do not, even if they are carried.
The movement is instantaneous and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
If either creature succeeds on its Will save, the spell is negated.



Dimension Hop

Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Duskblade 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, Summoner 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

Pale motes of light dance and swirl about your fingertips. When you touch the creature, it disappears, leaves a cloud of motes in its wake, and reappears somewhere nearby.

You instantly teleport the subject creature a distance of 5 feet per two caster levels. The destination must be an unoccupied space within line of sight.


SRD:Daylight

Evocation [[[SRD:Light Effect|Light]]]
Level: Brd 3, Clr 3, Drd 3, Pal 3, Sor/Wiz 3, Summoner 2
Components: V, S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

The object touched sheds light as bright as full daylight in a 60-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 60 feet beyond that. Creatures that take penalties in bright light also take them while within the radius of this magical light. Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by bright light.

If daylight is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a light- proof covering, the spell’s effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

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

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



SRD:Deeper Darkness

Evocation [[[SRD:Darkness Effect|Darkness]]]
Level: Ass 3, Blg 3, Clr 3, Summoner 2
Components: V, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: One day/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 60-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.

Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of brightening the area, as are light spells of lower level. Deeper darkness counters and dispels any light spell of equal or lower level, including daylight and light.

If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell’s effect is blocked until the covering is removed.

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



SRD:Entangle

Transmutation
Level: Drd 1, Plant 1, Rgr 1, Summoner 2
Components: V, S, DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: Plants in a 40-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex partial; see text
Spell Resistance: No

Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the area, holding them fast and causing them to become entangled. The creature can break free and move half its normal speed by using a full-round action to make a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Escape Artist check. A creature that succeeds on a Reflex save is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. Each round on your turn, the plants once again attempt to entangle all creatures that have avoided or escaped entanglement.

Note: The effects of the spell may be altered somewhat, based on the nature of the entangling plants.


SRD:Phantom Steed

Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3, Summoner 2
Components: V, S
Casting time: 10 minutes
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: One quasi-real, horselike creature
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You conjure a Large, quasi-real, horselike creature. The steed can be ridden only by you or by the one person for whom you specifically created the mount. A phantom steed has a black head and body, gray mane and tail, and smoke-colored, insubstantial hooves that make no sound. It has what seems to be a saddle, bit, and bridle. It does not fight, but animals shun it and refuse to attack it.

The mount has an AC of 18 (–1 size, +4 natural armor, +5 Dex) and 7 hit points +1 hit point per caster level. If it loses all its hit points, the phantom steed disappears. A phantom steed has a speed of 20 feet per caster level, to a maximum of 240 feet. It can bear its rider’s weight plus up to 10 pounds per caster level.

These mounts gain certain powers according to caster level. A mount’s abilities include those of mounts of lower caster levels.

8th Level: The mount can ride over sandy, muddy, or even swampy ground without difficulty or decrease in speed.

10th Level: The mount can use water walk at will (as the spell, no action required to activate this ability).

12th Level: The mount can use air walk at will (as the spell, no action required to activate this ability) for up to 1 round at a time, after which it falls to the ground.

14th Level: The mount can fly at its speed (average maneuverability).

Target: One interplanar portal
Duration: 2 hours/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

Portal alarm sounds a mental or audible alarm each time a creature of Tiny or larger size passes through the magic portal the spell is cast upon.
You decide at the time of casting whether the portal alarm will be mental or audible.
Mental Alarm: A mental alarm alerts you (and only you) as long as you remain within one mile of the warded area and on the same plane.
You notice a mental tremor that would awaken you from a normal sleep but does not otherwise disturb concentration (it would not interfere with spellcasting).
A silence spell has no effect on a mental alarm.
Audible Alarm: An audible portal alarm produces the sound of a hand bell, buzzer, or other similar repeating sound that can be heard quite clearly up to 60 feet away, and it pierces closed doors and extends onto other planes.
The ringing may be heard faintly up to 180 feet away and lasts for 1 round.
Creatures within the area of a silence spell cannot hear the ringing, and if the portal itself is within the area of a silence spell, no alarm is sounded.
Ethereal and astral creatures trigger the portal alarm if they pass through the portal.
You may set the portal alarm with a password, determined at the time of the casting, and this password may be discerned with the analyze portal spell.
Those speaking the password before passing through the portal do not set off the alarm.
Material Component: A tiny bell.

Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

The sleet extinguishes torches and small fires.

Arcane Material Component: A small clay model of a ziggurat, which shatters when the verbal component is pronounced.


SRD:Web

Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 2, Summoner 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Webs in a 20-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex negates; see text
Spell Resistance: No

Web creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. These strands trap those caught in them. The strands are similar to spider webs but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears. Creatures caught within a web become entangled among the gluey fibers. Attacking a creature in a web won’t cause you to become entangled.

Anyone in the effect’s area when the spell is cast must make a Reflex save. If this save succeeds, the creature is entangled, but not prevented from moving, though moving is more difficult than normal for being entangled (see below). If the save fails, the creature is entangled and can’t move from its space, but can break loose by spending 1 round and making a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 25 Escape Artist check. Once loose (either by making the initial Reflex save or a later Strength check or Escape Artist check), a creature remains entangled, but may move through the web very slowly. Each round devoted to moving allows the creature to make a new Strength check or Escape Artist check. The creature moves 5 feet for each full 5 points by which the check result exceeds 10.

If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover.

The strands of a web spell are flammable. A magic flaming sword can slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire can set the webs alight and burn away 5 square feet in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames.

Web can be made permanent with a permanency spell. A permanent web that is damaged (but not destroyed) regrows in 10 minutes.

Material Component: A bit of spider web.



SRD:Wind Wall

Evocation [[[SRD:Air Effect|Air]]]

Level: Air 2, Clr 3, Drd 3, Rgr 2, Sor/Wiz 3, Summoner 2
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Wall up to 10 ft./level long and 5 ft./level high (S)
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes

An invisible vertical curtain of wind appears. It is 2 feet thick and of considerable strength. It is a roaring blast sufficient to blow away any bird smaller than an eagle, or tear papers and similar materials from unsuspecting hands. (A Reflex save allows a creature to maintain its grasp on an object.) Tiny and Small flying creatures cannot pass through the barrier. Loose materials and cloth garments fly upward when caught in a wind wall. Arrows and bolts are deflected upward and miss, while any other normal ranged weapon passing through the wall has a 30% miss chance. (A giant-thrown boulder, a siege engine projectile, and other massive ranged weapons are not affected.) Gases, most gaseous breath weapons, and creatures in gaseous form cannot pass through the wall (although it is no barrier to incorporeal creatures).

While the wall must be vertical, you can shape it in any continuous path along the ground that you like. It is possible to create cylindrical or square wind walls to enclose specific points.

Arcane Material Component: A tiny fan and a feather of exotic origin.
