Blinds creatures within 20 ft.

Antimagic Field
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
None - See text APeace 8, Arc 8, Clr 8, Magic 6, Protection 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Spell 8 V, S, M/DF
10 min./level (D) 10 ft. General
Area: 10-ft.-radius emanation, centered on you

Negates magic within 10 ft.

An invisible barrier surrounds you and moves with you. The space within this barrier is impervious to most magical effects, including spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. Likewise, it prevents the functioning of any magic items or spells within its confines.

An antimagic field suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area, but does not dispel it. Time spent within an antimagic field counts against the suppressed spell's duration.

Summoned creatures of any type and incorporeal undead wink out if they enter an antimagic field. They reappear in the same spot once the field goes away. Time spent winked out counts normally against the duration of the conjuration that is maintaining the creature. If you cast antimagic field in an area occupied by a summoned creature that has spell resistance, you must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against the creature's spell resistance to make it wink out. (The effects of instantaneous conjurations are not affected by an antimagic field because the conjuration itself is no longer in effect, only its result.)

A normal creature can enter the area, as can normal missiles. Furthermore, while a magic sword does not function magically within the area, it is still a sword (and a masterwork sword at that). The spell has no effect on golems and other constructs that are imbued with magic during their creation process and are thereafter self-supporting (unless they have been summoned, in which case they are treated like any other summoned creatures). Elementals, corporeal undead, and outsiders are likewise unaffected unless summoned. These creatures' spell-like or supernatural abilities, however, may be temporarily nullified by the field. Dispel magic does not remove the field.

Two or more antimagic fields sharing any of the same space have no effect on each other. Certain spells, such as wall of force, prismatic sphere, and prismatic wall, remain unaffected by antimagic field (see the individual spell descriptions). Artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.

Should a creature be larger than the area enclosed by the barrier, any part of it that lies outside the barrier is unaffected by the field.

Banishment
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
Will negates - Yes APeace 6, Arc 6, Balance 6, Clr 6, Exorcism 6, Portal 6, Retribution 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 7 V, S, F
Instant Close General
Targets: One or more extraplanar creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Banishes 2 HD/level of extraplanar creatures.

A banishment spell is a more powerful version of the dismissal spell. It enables you to force extraplanar creatures out of your home plane. As many as 2 Hit Dice of creatures per caster level can be banished.

You can improve the spells chance of success by presenting at least one object or substance that the target hates, fears, or otherwise opposes. For each such object or substance, you gain a +1 bonus on your caster level check to overcome the targets spell resistance (if any), the saving throw DC increases by 2.

Certain rare items might work twice as well as a normal item for the purpose of the bonuses (each providing a +2 bonus on the caster level check against spell resistance and increasing the save DC by 4).

Cloudkill
Conjuration (Creation) 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial; see text - No Arc 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 5, Wmg 5 V, S
1 min./level Medium General
Effect: Cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius, 20 ft. high

Kills 3 HD or less; 4-6 HD save or die, 6+ HD take Con damage.

This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a fog cloud, except that its vapors are yellowish green and poisonous. These vapors automatically kill any living creature with 3 or fewer HD (no save). A living creature with 4 to 6 HD is slain unless it succeeds on a Fortitude save (in which case it takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage on your turn each round while in the cloud).

A living creature with 6 or more HD takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage on your turn each round while in the cloud (a successful Fortitude save halves this damage). Holding ones breath doesn't help, but creatures immune to poison are unaffected by the spell.

Unlike a fog cloud, the cloudkill moves away from you at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground.

Figure out the clouds new spread each round based on its new point of origin, which is 10 feet farther away from the point of origin where you cast the spell.

Because the vapors are heavier than air, they sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down den or sinkhole openings. It cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater.

Contingency (F)
Evocation 10 minutes; see text SRD
- Arc 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Time 6 V, S, M, F
1 day/level or until discharged (D) Personal General
Target: You
Focus: A statuette of you carved from elephant ivory and decorated with gems (worth at least 1,500 gp). You must carry the focus for the contingency to work.

Sets trigger condition for another spell.

You can place another spell upon your person so that it comes into effect under some condition you dictate when casting contingency. The contingency spell and the companion spell are cast at the same time. The 10-minute casting time is the minimum total for both castings; if the companion spell has a casting time longer than 10 minutes, use that instead.

The spell to be brought into effect by the contingency must be one that affects your person and be of a spell level no higher than one-third your caster level (rounded down, maximum 6th level).

The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. In all cases, the contingency immediately brings into effect the companion spell, the latter being "cast" instantaneously when the prescribed circumstances occur. If complicated or convoluted conditions are prescribed, the whole spell combination (contingency and the companion magic) may fail when called on. The companion spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether you want it to.

You can use only one contingency spell at a time; if a second is cast, the first one (if still active) is dispelled.

Control Weather
Transmutation 10 minutes; see text SRD
None - No Air 7, APeace 7, Arc 7, Blg 7, Clr 7, Cold 7, Drd 7, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 7, Storm 7, Summer 7, Weather 7, Winter 7, Wuj 6 V, S
4d12 hours; see text 2 miles General
Area: 2-mile-radius circle, centered on you; see text

Changes weather in local area.

You change the weather in the local area. It takes 10 minutes to cast the spell and an additional 10 minutes for the effects to manifest. You can call forth weather appropriate to the climate and season of the area you are in.

SeasonPossible Weather
Spring Tornado, thunderstorm, sleet storm, or hot weather
Summer Torrential rain, heat wave, or hailstorm
Autumn Hot or cold weather, fog, or sleet
Winter Frigid cold, blizzard, or thaw
Late winter Hurricane-force winds or early spring (coastal area)

You control the general tendencies of the weather, such as the direction and intensity of the wind. You cannot control specific applications of the weatherwhere lightning strikes, for example, or the exact path of a tornado. When you select a certain weather condition to occur, the weather assumes that condition 10 minutes later (changing gradually, not abruptly). The weather continues as you left it for the duration, or until you use a standard action to designate a new kind of weather (which fully manifests itself 10 minutes later). Contradictory conditions are not possible simultaneously.

Control weather can do away with atmospheric phenomena (naturally occurring or otherwise) as well as create them.

A druid casting this spell doubles the duration and affects a circle with a 3-mile radius.

Greater Dispel Magic
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
None - No APeace 6, Arc 6, Beguiler 6, Blg 6, Brd 5, Clr 6, Drd 6, Drow 6, Liberation 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Wuj 6 V, S
Instant Medium General
Target or Area: One spellcaster, creature, or object; or 20-ft.-radius burst

As dispel magic, but +20 on check.

This spell functions like dispel magic, except that the maximum caster level on your dispel check is +20 instead of +10.

Additionally, greater dispel magic has a chance to dispel any effect that remove curse can remove, even if dispel magic can't dispel that effect.

Fire Seeds
Conjuration (Creation) [Fire] 1 standard action SRD
None or Reflex half; see text - No Arc 6, Blg 6, Drd 6, Fire 6, Shu 6, Sun 6, Wmg 6, Wuj 6 V, S, M
10 min./level or until used Touch 1 hour
Targets: Up to four touched acorns or up to eight touched holly berries

Acorns and berries become grenades and bombs.

Depending on the version of fire seeds you choose, you turn acorns into splash weapons that you or another character can throw, or you turn holly berries into bombs that you can detonate on command.

Acorn Grenades: As many as four acorns turn into special splash weapons that can be hurled as far as 100 feet. A ranged touch attack roll is required to strike the intended target. Together, the acorns are capable of dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 20d6), divided up among the acorns as you wish.

Each acorn explodes upon striking any hard surface. In addition to its regular fire damage, it deals 1 point of splash damage per die, and it ignites any combustible materials within 10 feet. A creature within this area that makes a successful Reflex saving throw takes only half damage; a creature struck directly is not allowed a saving throw.

Holly Berry Bombs: You turn as many as eight holly berries into special bombs. The holly berries are usually placed by hand, since they are too light to make effective thrown weapons (they can be tossed only 5 feet). If you are within 200 feet and speak a word of command, each berry instantly bursts into flame, causing 1d8 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level to every creature in a 5-foot radius burst and igniting any combustible materials within 5 feet. A creature in the area that makes a successful Reflex saving throw takes only half damage.

Fires of Purity
    SPC
  Arc 6, Drd 6, Purification 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6  
    General

Target bursts into magical flame, becoming a dangerous weapon.

Greater Glyph of Warding (M)
Abjuration 10 minutes SRD
See text - No (object) and Yes; see text Arc 6, Clr 6, Rune 6, Shu 6 V, S, M
Permanent until discharged (D) Touch General
Target or Area: Object touched or up to 5 sq. ft./level
Materials: You trace the glyph with incense, which must first be sprinkled with powdered diamond worth at least 400 gp.

As glyph of warding, but up to 10d8 damage or 6th-level spell.

This spell functions like glyph of warding, except that a greater blast glyph deals up to 10d8 points of damage, and a greater spell glyph can store a spell of 6th level or lower.

Heal
Conjuration (Healing) [Positive] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) Adp 5, APeace 6, Arc 6, Clr 6, Drd 7, Healing 6, Hlr 6, Shu 6 V, S
Instant Touch General
Target: Creature touched

Cures 10 points/level of damage, all diseases and mental conditions.

Heal enables you to channel positive energy into a creature to wipe away injury and afflictions. It immediately ends any and all of the following adverse conditions affecting the Target: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, sickened, stunned, and poisoned. It also cures 10 hit points of damage per level of the caster, to a maximum of 150 points at 15th level.

Heal does not remove negative levels, restore permanently drained levels, or restore permanently drained ability score points.

If used against an undead creature, heal instead acts like harm.

Move Earth
Transmutation [Earth] See text SRD
None - No Arc 6, Artificer 6, Drd 6, Halfling 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Wuj 6 V, S, M
Instant Long 1 hour
Area: Dirt in an area up to 750 ft. square and up to 10 ft. deep (S)

Digs trenches and builds hills.

Move earth moves dirt (clay, loam, sand), possibly collapsing embankments, moving hillocks, shifting dunes, and so forth.

However, in no event can rock formations be collapsed or moved. The area to be affected determines the casting time. For every 150-foot square (up to 10 feet deep), casting takes 10 minutes. The maximum area, 750 feet by 750 feet, takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to move.

This spell does not violently break the surface of the ground. Instead, it creates wavelike crests and troughs, with the earth reacting with glacierlike fluidity until the desired result is achieved. Trees, structures, rock formations, and such are mostly unaffected except for changes in elevation and relative topography.

The spell cannot be used for tunneling and is generally too slow to trap or bury creatures. Its primary use is for digging or filling moats or for adjusting terrain contours before a battle.

This spell has no effect on earth creatures.

Permanent Image (M)
Illusion (Figment) 1 standard action SRD
Will disbelief (if interacted with) - No Arc 6, Brd 6, Creation 7, Moon 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Wuj 6 V, S, M
Permanent (D) Long 24 hours
Effect: Figment that cannot extend beyond a 20-ft. cube + one 10-ft. cube/level (S)
Materials: A bit of fleece plus powdered jade worth 100 gp.

Includes sight, sound, and smell.

This spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as visualized by you.

The figment includes visual, auditory, olfactory, and thermal elements, and the spell is permanent. By concentrating, you can move the image within the limits of the range, but it is static while you are not concentrating.

Rapid Resurrection (M)
Conjuration (Healing) [Ectomancy] 1 standard action Drew
None; see text - No Arc 6, Clr 6, Hlr 6, SaveLife 6, Shu 6 V, S, M, DF
Instant Touch General
Target: Dead creature touched.
Materials: Diamond dust worth a total of least 10,000 gp.

Restores a person to life who died within the last 2 rounds and damages caster.

You restore life to a deceased creature. You can raise a creature that has been dead for no longer than 2 full rounds. In addition, the subject's soul must be free and willing to return. If the subject's soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work; therefore, a subject that wants to return receives no saving throw. The caster takes 1d6 non-lethal damage per Hit Die of the target (before the target loses the level from being raised.)

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The subject of the spell loses one level (or 1 Hit Die) when it is raised, just as if it had lost a level or a Hit Die to an energy-draining creature. If the subject is 1st level, it loses 2 points of Constitution instead (if this would reduce its Con to 0 or less, it can't be raised). This level/HD loss or Constitution loss cannot be repaired by any means. Upon completion of the spell, the creature is immediately restored to full hit points, vigor, and health, with no loss of prepared spells.

The condition of the remains is not a factor. So long as some small portion of the creatures body still exists, it can be resurrected, but the portion receiving the spell must have been part of the creatures body at the time of death. (The remains of a creature hit by a disintegrate spell count as a small portion of its body.)

You can resurrect someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. You cannot resurrect someone who has died of old age. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be resurrected.

Stone Tell
Divination 10 minutes SRD
- Arc 6, Drd 6, Dwarf 6, Shu 6 V, S, DF
1 min./level Personal 30 minutes
Target: You

Talk to natural or worked stone.

You gain the ability to speak with stones, which relate to you who or what has touched them as well as revealing what is covered or concealed behind or under them. The stones relate complete descriptions if asked. A stones perspective, perception, and knowledge may prevent the stone from providing the details you are looking for.

You can speak with natural or worked stone.

Stoneskin (M)
Abjuration 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (harmless) - Yes (harmless) Adp 4, Arc 4, Dragon 6, Drd 5, Earth 6, Endurance 5, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 4, Strength 6, Wuj 4 V, S, M
10 min./level or until discharged Touch General
Target: Creature touched
Materials: Granite and 250 gp worth of diamond dust sprinkled on the targets skin.

Ignore 10 points of damage per attack.

The warded creature gains resistance to blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes. The subject gains damage reduction 10/adamantine. (It ignores the first 10 points of damage each time it takes damage from a weapon, though an adamantine weapon bypasses the reduction.) Once the spell has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per caster level (maximum 150 points), it is discharged.

Summon Nature's Ally VI
Conjuration (Summoning) 1 round SRD
None - No Arc 6, Drd 6, Shu 6 V, S, DF
1 round/level (D) Close General
Effect: One or more creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Calls creature to fight.

This spell functions like summon nature's ally I, except that you can summon one 6th-level creature, 1d3 5th-level creatures of the same kind, or 1d4+1 lower-level creatures of the same kind.

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.

1) May be summoned only into an aquatic or watery environment.

2) Can't cast irresistible dance.

Teleport
Conjuration (Teleportation) 1 standard action SRD
None and Will negates (object) - No and Yes (object) Arc 6, Portal 5, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 5, Travel 5, Wuj 5 V
Instant Personal and touch 4 hours
Target: You and touched objects or other touched willing creatures

Instantly transports you as far as 100 miles/level.

This spell instantly transports you to a designated destination, which may be as distant as 100 miles per caster level. Interplanar travel is not possible. You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent (see below) per three caster levels. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you. As with all spells where the range is personal and the target is you, you need not make a saving throw, nor is spell resistance applicable to you. Only objects held or in use (attended) by another person receive saving throws and spell resistance.

You must have some clear idea of the location and layout of the destination. The clearer your mental image, the more likely the teleportation works. Areas of strong physical or magical energy may make teleportation more hazardous or even impossible.

To see how well the teleportation works, roll d% and consult the Teleport table. Refer to the following information for definitions of the terms on the table. Familiarity: Very familiar is a place where you have been very often and where you feel at home. Studied carefully is a place you know well, either because you can currently see it, you've been there often, or you have used other means (such as scrying) to study the place for at least one hour. Seen casually is a place that you have seen more than once but with which you are not very familiar. Viewed once is a place that you have seen once, possibly using magic.

False destination is a place that does not truly exist or if you are teleporting to an otherwise familiar location that no longer exists as such or has been so completely altered as to no longer be familiar to you. When traveling to a false destination, roll 1d20+80 to obtain results on the table, rather than rolling d%, since there is no real destination for you to hope to arrive at or even be off target from.

On Target: You appear where you want to be.

Off Target: You appear safely a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10x1d10% of the distance that was to be traveled. The direction off target is determined randomly.

Similar Area: You wind up in an area thats visually or thematically similar to the target area.

Generally, you appear in the closest similar place within range. If no such area exists within the spells range, the spell simply fails instead.

Mishap: You and anyone else teleporting with you have gotten scrambled. You each take 1d10 points of damage, and you reroll on the chart to see where you wind up. For these rerolls, roll 1d20+80. Each time Mishap comes up, the characters take more damage and must reroll.

1 min./level Touch General
Target: Creature touched
Materials: An ointment for the eyes that costs 250 gp and is made from mushroom powder, saffron, and fat.

Lets you see all things as they really are.

You confer on the subject the ability to see all things as they actually are. The subject sees through normal and magical darkness, notices secret doors hidden by magic, sees the exact locations of creatures or objects under blur or displacement effects, sees invisible creatures or objects normally, sees through illusions, and sees the true form of polymorphed, changed, or transmuted things. Further, the subject can focus its vision to see into the Ethereal Plane (but not into extradimensional spaces). The range of true seeing conferred is 120 feet.

True seeing, however, does not penetrate solid objects. It in no way confers X-ray vision or its equivalent. It does not negate concealment, including that caused by fog and the like. True seeing does not help the viewer see through mundane disguises, spot creatures who are simply hiding, or notice secret doors hidden by mundane means. In addition, the spell effects cannot be further enhanced with known magic, so one cannot use true seeing through a crystal ball or in conjunction with clairaudience/clairvoyance.

Veil
Illusion (Glamer) 1 standard action SRD
Will negates; see text - Yes; see text Arc 6, Beguiler 6, Brd 6, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 6, Wuj 6 V, S
Concentration + 1 hour/level (D) Long 12 hours
Targets: One or more creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Changes appearance of group of creatures.

You instantly change the appearance of the subjects and then maintain that appearance for the spell's duration. You can make the subjects appear to be anything you wish. The subjects look, feel, and smell just like the creatures the spell makes them resemble. Affected creatures resume their normal appearances if slain. You must succeed on a Disguise check to duplicate the appearance of a specific individual. This spell gives you a +10 bonus on the check.

Unwilling targets can negate the spells effect on them by making Will saves or with spell resistance. Those who interact with the subjects can attempt Will disbelief saves to see through the glamer, but spell resistance doesn't help.

Wind Walk
Transmutation [Air] 1 standard action SRD
None and Will negates (harmless) - No and Yes (harmless) APeace 6, Arc 6, Celerity 6, Clr 6, Drd 7, Shu 6, Sky 6 V, S, DF
1 hour/level (D); see text Touch 24 hours
Targets: You and one touched creature per three levels

You and your allies turn vaporous and travel fast.

You alter the substance of your body to a cloudlike vapor (as the gaseous form spell) and move through the air, possibly at great speed. You can take other creatures with you, each of which acts independently.

Normally, a wind walker flies at a speed of 10 feet with perfect maneuverability. If desired by the subject, a magical wind wafts a wind walker along at up to 600 feet per round (60 mph) with poor maneuverability. Wind walkers are not invisible but rather appear misty and translucent. If fully clothed in white, they are 80% likely to be mistaken for clouds, fog, vapors, or the like.

A wind walker can regain its physical form as desired and later resume the cloud form. Each change to and from vaporous form takes 5 rounds, which counts toward the duration of the spell (as does any time spent in physical form). As noted above, you can dismiss the spell, and you can even dismiss it for individual wind walkers and not others.

For the last minute of the spells duration, a wind walker in cloud form automatically descends 60 feet per round (for a total of 600 feet), though it may descend faster if it wishes. This descent serves as a warning that the spell is about to end.
