You cant cas't this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk's unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.

Obscuring Mist
Conjuration (Creation) 1 standard action SRD
None - No Adp 1, Air 1, APeace 1, Arc 1, Asn 1, Beguiler 1, Clr 1, Darkness 1, Drd 1, Duskblade 1, Shadow 1, Shu 1, Slayer of Domiel 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Water 1, Weather 1, Wuj 1 V, S
1 min./level 20 ft. General
Effect: Cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius from you, 20 ft. high

Fog surrounds you.

A misty vapor arises around you. It is stationary once created. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

A moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the fog in 4 rounds. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. A fireball, flame strike, or similar spell burns away the fog in the explosive or fiery spell's area. A wall of fire burns away the fog in the area into which it deals damage.

This spell does not function underwater.

Ray of Enfeeblement
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 1, Blg 1, Decay 2, Duskblade 1, Necro 1, Sin-E 2, Sor/Wiz 1 V, S
1 min./level Close General
Effect: Ray

Ray deals 1d6 +1 per two levels Str penalty.

A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5). The subjects Strength score cannot drop below 1.

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.

Shocking Grasp
Evocation [Electricity] 1 standard action SRD

Instant Touch General
Target: Creature or object touched

Touch delivers 1d6/level electricity damage (max 5d6).

See text Personal 5 minutes
