Cat's Grace
Transmutation 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - Yes Adp 2, Arc 2, Artificer 2, Asn 2, Brd 2, Celerity 2, Drd 2, Duskblade 2, Elf 2, EmBarachiel 2, Halfling 2, Hoard 2, Rgr 2, Shu 2, Sor/Wiz 2, Wuj 2 V, S, M
1 min./level Touch 5 minutes
Target: Creature touched

Subject gains +4 to Dex for 1 min./level.

The transmuted creature becomes more graceful, agile, and coordinated. The spell grants a +4 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, adding the usual benefits to AC, Reflex saves, and other uses of the Dexterity modifier.

Invisibility
Illusion (Glamer) 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) or Will negates (harmless, object) - Yes (harmless) or Yes (harmless, object) Adp 2, Arc 2, Asn 2, Beguiler 2, Brd 2, Duskblade 2, HB 2, Hoard 2, Shu 3, Sin-L 2, Slayer of Domiel 3, Sor/Wiz 2, Trickery 2, Wuj 2 V, S, M/DF
1 min./level (D) Personal or touch 5 minutes
Target: You or a creature or object weighing no more than 100 lb./level

Subject is invisible for 1 min./level or until it attacks.

The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If you cast the spell on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless you can normally see invisible things or you employ magic to do so.

Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible.

Of course, the subject is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). The spell ends if the subject attacks any creature. For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe. (Exactly who is a foe depends on the invisible characters perceptions.) Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. If the subject attacks directly, however, it immediately becomes visible along with all its gear. Spells such as bless that specifically affect allies but not foes are not attacks for this purpose, even when they include foes in their area.

Invisibility can be made permanent (on objects only) with a permanency spell.

Knock
Transmutation 1 standard action SRD
None - No Beguiler 2, Greed 3, Hoard 2, Sor/Wiz 2, Wuj 2 V
Instant; see text Medium 5 minutes
Target: One door, box, or chest with an area of up to 10 sq. ft./level

Opens locked or magically sealed door.

The knock spell opens stuck, barred, locked, held, or arcane locked doors. It opens secret doors, as well as locked or trick-opening boxes or chests. It also loosens welds, shackles, or chains (provided they serve to hold closures shut). If used to open a arcane locked door, the spell does not remove the arcane lock but simply suspends its functioning for 10 minutes. In all other cases, the door does not relock itself or become stuck again on its own. Knock does not raise barred gates or similar impediments (such as a portcullis), nor does it affect ropes, vines, and the like. The effect is limited by the area. Each spell can undo as many as two means of preventing egress.

Locate Object
Divination 1 standard action SRD
None - No Arc 3, Brd 2, Clr 3, Hoard 2, Meditation 3, Shu 2, Sin-A 3, Sor/Wiz 2, Travel 2, Wuj 2 V, S, F/DF
1 min./level Long 30 minutes
Area: Circle, centered on you, with a radius of 400 ft. + 40 ft./level

Senses direction toward object (specific or type).

You sense the direction of a well-known or clearly visualized object. You can search for general items, in which case you locate the nearest one of its kind if more than one is within range. Attempting to find a certain item requires a specific and accurate mental image; if the image is not close enough to the actual object, the spell fails. You cannot specify a unique item unless you have observed that particular item firsthand (not through divination).

The spell is blocked by even a thin sheet of lead. Creatures cannot be found by this spell. Polymorph any object fools it.

Resist Energy
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) Adp 2, APeace 2, Arc 2, Blg 2, ChamGwyn 2, Clr 2, Dragon 2, Drd 2, Duskblade 1, Fire 3, HB 2, Hoard 2, KotC 2, Pal 2, Rgr 1, Shu 2, Sor/Wiz 2, Vassal of Bahamut 2, Wuj 2 V, S, DF
10 min./level Touch 1 hour
Target: Creature touched

Ignores 10 (or more) points of damage/attack from specified energy type.

This abjuration grants a creature limited protection from damage of whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The subject gains energy resistance 10 against the energy type chosen, meaning that each time the creature is subjected to such damage (whether from a natural or magical source), that damage is reduced by 10 points before being applied to the creature’s hit points. The value of the energy resistance granted increases to 20 points at 7th level and to a maximum of 30 points at 11th level. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well.

Resist energy absorbs only damage. The subject could still suffer unfortunate side effects.

Note: Resist energy overlaps (and does not stack with) protection from energy. If a character is warded by protection from energy and resist energy, the protection spell absorbs damage until its power is exhausted.

Spider Climb
Transmutation 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) Arc 2, Asn 2, Beguiler 2, Drd 2, Duskblade 2, HB 2, Hoard 2, Slayer of Domiel 1, Sor/Wiz 2, Spider 1, Wuj 2 V, S, M
10 min./level Touch 1 hour
Target: Creature touched

Grants ability to walk on walls and ceilings.

The subject can climb and travel on vertical surfaces or even traverse ceilings as well as a spider does. The affected creature must have its hands free to climb in this manner. The subject gains a climb speed of 20 feet; furthermore, it need not make Climb checks to traverse a vertical or horizontal surface (even upside down). A spider climbing creature retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it. It cannot, however, use the run action while climbing.
