IMBUE FAMILIAR WITH SPELL ABILITY
INFERNAL TRANSFORMATION, LESSER
Evocation [Cold]
Level: Cleric 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: Battleaxe-shaped weapon of swirling ice
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
A thin layer of frost forms around
your hand as shards of ice descend from the sky and coalesce into the form of a
battleaxe.
This spell creates a battleaxe-shaped
formation of jagged, fast-swirling ice shards in your hand. You are
automatically considered proficient with the ice axe. Attacks with the ice
axe are melee touch attacks. The axe deals 2d12 points of cold damage +1 point
per two caster levels (maximum +10) with a successful hit. You cannot be
disarmed of the ice axe nor can it be sundered. Since the axe is virtually weightless,
your Strength modifier does not apply on damage rolls. If your base attack
bonus is high enough to allow for multiple attacks in a round, you can make
them with the ice axe.
If you choose to hold something other than
the ice axe in your hand or use the hand in some other way, the ice axe
vanishes until the hand is empty again.
Material Component: A shard of ice, glass, or crystal.
Evocation [Cold]
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 7
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: 10-ft. ice claw
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
You finish this evocation and a great
white claw appears before you, cold air wafting off its crystalline surface.
This spell creates a massive reptilian claw
made of ice. The ice claw can make one grapple attack per round. Its attack
bonus and grapple modifier are equal to your caster level + your Int modifier
or Cha modifier (for wizards and sorcerers, respectively) + 7 for the claw’s
Strength (24).
In any round when the claw is grappling a
target, it deals 1d8 points of cold damage.
The claw can attack in the round it
appears.
Directing it to change targets is a
standard action.
It always attacks from your direction and
does not get a flanking bonus or help a combatant get one. The claw has as many
hit points as you do when undamaged and has AC 20 (+10 natural). It takes
damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that do not deal damage
do not affect it. The claw cannot push through a wall of force or enter an antimagic field. It suffers the full effects of a prismatic wall or prismatic sphere. The claw has your saving throw bonuses.
Disintegrate or a successful dispel magic destroys it. It has immunity to cold and
vulnerability to fire.
Focus: A white leather glove and a piece of clear
rock crystal.
Evocation [Cold]
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Dagger of ice
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
The melted ice cupped in your palm
crystallizes into a daggerlike shard of ice that then flies at your foe,
exploding into a ball of icy fragments at its feet.
The ice dagger created by this spell
launches itself at a target. Treat the attack as a thrown splash weapon (PH 158) that requires a ranged touch attack to hit. The ice dagger
deals 1d4 points of cold damage to the target per caster level (maximum 5d4),
and splash damage of 1 point of cold damage to adjacent creatures.
Material Component: A few drops of water made from melted
ice.
Transmutation [Cold]
Level: Cleric 6, druid 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 20-ft.-radius burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: No
A lance of ice and earth thrusts up
where you point, flinging pebbles, rocks, and dirt into the sky. Stone rains
down, covering the ground with debris.
This spell causes moisture in the ground at
a point you designate to freeze into a mound of solid ice covered by a layer of
soil, which bursts violently through the surface. This flings dangerous ice
shards and small stones throughout the area, turning the surface of the ground
in the spell’s area into dense rubble (DMG 90). The shards and
stones deal 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Half the
damage is cold damage. The origin point of the spell must be on the ground.
This spell has no effect in desert terrain or on solid stone.
Evocation [Cold]
Level: Cleric 1
Components: V, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
All warmth leaves your hand as at
first a sheen of white frost covers it, then larger crystals of clear ice form
around it. In seconds a large bristling ball of rock-hard ice spikes surrounds
your fist, a cold mist enshrouding your forearm.
You can attack with your fist in all
respects as if you were wearing a +1 spiked gauntlet. The +1 spiked
gauntlet deals normal damage
for your size and 1d4 points of cold damage. Damage reduction applies to the
ice gauntlet’s normal damage, but it does not affect the cold damage. If you
fail a saving throw against a fire effect, the ice gauntlet melts and the spell
ends.
Conjuration (Creation) [Cold]
Level: Assassin 2, sorcerer/wizard 2
Components: S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Effect: One icy missile
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial or Reflex half; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
You shake your hand as if to free it
from some substance you disdain. As you do, a magical shard of ice blasts from
your hand and speeds to its target, the sound of cracking ice following in its
wake.
You must succeed on a normal ranged attack
to hit (with a +2 bonus on the attack roll for every two caster levels). If it
hits, an ice knife deals 2d8 points of cold damage and 2 points of Dexterity
damage (a successful Fortitude save negates the Dexterity damage). Creatures
that have immunity to cold also take no Dexterity damage automatically.
A knife that misses creates a shower of ice
crystals in a 10- foot-radius burst (see Missing with a Thrown Weapon, PH 158, to determine where the shard hits). The icy burst deals 1d8
points of cold damage to all creatures within the area (Reflex half).
Material Component: A drop of water or piece of ice.
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Druid 3, sorcerer/ wizard 3
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: One lance of ice
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
You clutch the quartz in your hand,
focusing the energy of the spell into a sharp spear.
With a thought, you send it whistling
through the air at your foe.
You must succeed on a normal ranged attack
to strike a target with an icelance.
You gain a +4 bonus on your attack roll. If
you hit, the icelance deals 6d6 points of damage to the target. Half of this
damage is piercing damage; the rest is cold damage. In addition, the target
must make a Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. Regardless of the
result of the attack, the icelance shatters upon its first use.
Focus: A 50-gp clear quartz gemstone.
Alternatively, if you are in a cold region,
you can substitute 10 pounds of ice or snow for the quartz.
Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 40-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Your stomach growls as an entire
feast appears in the distance. You perceive the composition of the feast
continuously shifting, its contents sometimes appealing to the point where you
almost forget it is an illusion.
Tantalizing food and drink appears, causing
creatures in the area to stop what they are doing and eat. A creature in the
area that fails its save stops its current activities, drops held or carried
items, and begins consuming the illusory food and drink. The food looks, feels,
smells, tastes, and even sounds real to the affected creature, and it appears
to be whatever kind of food the creature prefers. The creature is considered
dazed. An attack on an affected creature frees it from the spell immediately.
Sightless creatures are affected by this spell due to its effect on all the
senses. Creatures that do not eat are unaffected by this spell.
Material Component: A piece of trail rations.
Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: 10-ft. cube/level
Duration: Concentration + 1 round/ level
Saving Throw: Will disbelief
Spell Resistance: No
You shove downward with your hand,
speaking the spell’s arcane words as you do so. The ground disappears where you
indicate, forming an impossibly deep pit.
You create the illusion of a pit, and each
creature entering or within the area is forced to make a Will save or believe
the floor on which it stands has become a bottomless chasm. Those that fail
their saves fall prone and are unable to take any action except clawing
desperately at the floor in the hopes of stopping their apparent fall. An
attack on an affected creature frees it from the effect of the illusion but
leaves it stunned for 1 round. Likewise, when the spell ends, creatures that
believed they were falling are stunned for 1 round.
Flying creatures passing over an illusory
pit are unaffected by the spell.
Universal
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Familiar touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
Upon completion of this spell, you
feel as if you had just cast a number of spells in quick succession. Your
familiar gives you a knowing nod.
This spell allows you to transfer a number
of your spells and the ability to cast them into your familiar. Spontaneous
spellcasters, such as sorcerers, can imbue a familiar with any spells they know
how to cast, subject to the restrictions below. Arcanists who prepare spells,
such as wizards, can imbue a familiar with any spell they have currently
prepared. In either case, you can imbue one spell per three caster levels, with
a maximum spell level of one-third your caster level, rounded down (maximum 5th
level). Multiple castings of imbue familiar with spell ability have no effect on these limits.
The transferred spell’s variable
characteristics (range, duration, area, and so on) function according to your
level. Once you cast imbue familiar
with spell ability on your familiar, both
the spell slot from which you cast the spell and the spell slots of the
transferred spells remain unavailable for the preparation or casting of new
spells until the familiar uses the transferred spells or imbue familiar with spell ability expires.
The spell can be dispelled; if this
happens, the spells transferred are lost as if the familiar had cast them.
In an antimagic field, the familiar loses the ability to cast the imbued spells, but
regains it again if it leaves the field (as long as the spell’s duration hasn’t
expired).
If any transferred spell requires a focus
or material component, you must have it on your person when the spells are cast
(components are consumed as normal without requiring you to bring them to
hand). Any XP costs from a transferred spell are deducted from your total when
the familiar casts the spell.
Necromancy [Fear, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 6
Components: S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: One living creature/level, no two of which are more than 30 ft. apart
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
You regard your foes with a steely
glare that would peel paint from a wagon. Motes of dark energy dance before
your eyes and they, to a body, freeze in fear.
The targets must make successful Will saves
or cower. The saving throw DC to resist this effect is either the normal save
DC for the spell or the save DC for your natural frightful presence ability,
whichever is higher. You cannot cast this spell if you do not have a frightful
presence ability, either natural or magically bestowed (such as from the aura of terror spell, for example).
Divination
Level: Assassin 4, blackguard 4, ranger 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level); see text
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
With this spell, you become an
unerring tracker, instantly aware of your quarry’s location whenever it’s on
the move.
The implacable pursuer spell gives you the direction and distance to the target creature
whenever it finishes a turn more than 10 feet away from where it started. If
you are a ranger, you apply your favored enemy bonus to the DC of the Will
save.
Once you successfully target a creature
with implacable
pursuer, you know its location
as long as the subject is moving, no matter where it goes on the same plane.
Even if it leaves the plane, implacable pursuer tells you what plane the subject creature went to. The spell then
provides no further information until you and the subject creature are on the
same plane, in which case the spell resumes functioning normally.
Transmutation
Level: Bard 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
With an elaborate flourish and call
for luck, you toss the dice in your hand into the air.
Immediately you feel as though fate
favors you, filling you with confidence.
You gain access to a floating “pool” of
luck, which manifests as bonus points you can use as desired to improve your
odds of success at various tasks. This bonus pool consists of 2 points per
caster level, which you can spend as you like to improve attack rolls, skill
checks, and ability checks, although no single check can receive a bonus
greater than one-half your caster level.
You must declare any bonus point usage
before the appropriate roll is made.
Used points disappear from the pool, and
any points remaining when the spell ends are wasted. These points count as luck
bonuses for the purpose of stacking.
For example, a 14th-level bard pauses while
chasing a pickpocket to cast improvisation.
At any time during the next 14 rounds, he could use the points to provide
himself a +7 luck bonus on a Spot check, a +7 luck bonus on a Climb check, and
a +7 luck bonus on two of his attacks.
Material Component: A pair of dice.
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Bard 1, cleric 1, sorcerer/ wizard 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: Creatures in a 10-ft. burst
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
You cast this spell and your opponent
is swallowed in a spiral of sparkling motes that urge your targets to act.
Affected creatures are not allowed to delay
or to ready an action. If a subject is currently delaying, it acts as soon as
the spell is cast. If the subject currently has an action readied, it loses
that action.
Necromancy [Evil]
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One incorporeal undead/ level
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Calling upon the dark power of the
Plane of Negative Energy, you bolster the power of incorporeal undead.
The undead affected by this spell gain a +1
deflection bonus to Armor Class, +1d8 bonus hit points, a +1 enhancement bonus
on attack rolls, and a +2 bonus to turn resistance. Each of these enhancements
improves by the base amount for every five caster levels beyond 5th, so that a
20th-level caster grants undead +4 to AC, +4d8 bonus hit points, +4 on attack
rolls, and +8 to turn resistance.
Necromancy [Death]
Level: Cleric 5, sorcerer/wizard 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: 50-ft.-radius burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
A nova of dissolution dissipates the
immaterial bodies of incorporeal and gaseous creatures, destroying them
instantly.
The spell destroys 1d4 HD worth of
creatures per caster level (maximum 20d4) in the area. Usually, creatures such
as shadows, wraiths, spectres, ghosts, and similar creatures are destroyed,
though vampires and living creatures in gaseous form are also affected, as are
other incorporeal creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first;
among creatures with equal HD, those that are closest to the point of origin of
the burst are affected first. No creature with 9 or more HD is affected, and HD
that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.
Abjuration
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 minute/level or until discharged
Saving Throw: None (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The spell’s energy makes you feel
impervious to wounds, if only for a limited time.
The indomitability spell protects its recipient from the first incapacitating attack
the creature suffers during the spell’s duration. An incapacitating attack is
one that would reduce the recipient to fewer than 1 hit point.
The attack must be one that deals damage;
the indomitability spell offers no protection from nondamaging
effects or attacks that kill or destroy without dealing any damage, such as
death effects. Regardless of how much damage the attack deals, the recipient of
the indomitability spell takes only enough damage to be reduced
to 1 hp.
The remaining damage from the attack is
ignored. Once the spell protects the subject in this manner, the spell is
discharged.
Evocation [Evil, Sonic]
Level: Bard 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 50 ft.
Area: 50-ft.-radius emanation centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
The melody you create is a low but
melodious dirge that blankets the area in a barely perceptible red aura. You
feel invigorated with dark power.
You can strike up a pulsing, powerful
rhythm that temporarily boosts by 2 the effective caster level of each
evil-aligned divine spellcaster within range. This increase does not grant
access to additional spells, but it does improve all spell effects that are
dependent on caster level. Within the spell’s area, each evil-aligned divine
spellcaster gains a +4 profane bonus on Charisma checks to rebuke undead, and
each good-aligned divine spellcaster takes a –4 profane penalty on Charisma
checks to turn undead.
Transmutation [Evil]
Level: Cleric 7
This spell functions like lesser infernal transformation, except when you cast this spell, you assume
the physical appearance and many of the qualities and abilities of a bone devil
(MM 52).
While under the effect of the spell, your
creature type changes to outsider (baatezu, evil, lawful), and your size
changes to Large. You have the space and reach of a bone devil (10 feet/10
feet). You gain a +4 profane bonus to Strength and Constitution and darkvision
out to 60 feet. You gain damage reduction 5/good.
You also grow a tail like that of a
scorpion. Whenever you take a full attack action, you can use the tail to make
an additional attack each round at your highest attack bonus. A successful
attack deals 3d4 points of damage + your Str modifier. This attack overcomes
damage reduction as if it were an evil weapon. Creatures hit by the tail attack
must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + Con modifier)
or be subjected to poison (injury, initial damage 1d6 Str, secondary damage 2d6
Str). Your equipment grows to match your new size and form, allowing the tail
attack to function even if you are wearing heavy armor or other restrictive
clothing.
You gain the ability to speak and
understand Infernal.
Transmutation [Evil]
Level: Cleric 4
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Your blood runs cold as a feeling of
utter evil imbues you with unholy power. A cackle of sadistic glee escapes your
changing mouth, and you feel your body grow in both size and power.
When you cast this spell, you assume the
physical appearance and many of the qualities and abilities of a bearded devil
(MM 52). While under the effect of the spell,
your creature type changes to outsider (baatezu, evil, lawful), and your size
changes to Medium. You have the space and reach of a bearded devil (5 feet/5
feet). You gain a +2 profane bonus to Strength and Constitution and darkvision
out to 60 feet.
You grow a snaky beard.
Whenever you take a full attack action, you
can use the beard to make an additional attack each round at your highest
attack bonus plus all appropriate modifiers. A successful attack deals 1d8
points of damage + your Str modifier.
This attack overcomes damage reduction as
if it were an evil weapon.
Creatures hit by the beard attack must make
a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + Con modifier) or be
affected by the devil chills disease (DMG 292). You gain the
ability to speak and understand Infernal.
Transmutation [Evil]
Level: Cleric 2, sorcerer/wizard 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Weapon touched
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You wave your hands over the blade
and it takes on a gray pallor. Its attacks will now leave a lingering, painful
memory in their wake.
A creature injured by a weapon with infernal wound cast upon it loses 2 additional hit points
each round for the duration of the spell (regardless of how many times it is
struck during that time). The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a
Heal check (DC 10 + spell level + your relevant ability modifier), a cure spell, or a heal spell.
Transmutation [Fire]
Level: Druid 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./ 2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: 6 rounds; see text
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates and Reflex partial; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
Singling out the target, you call
upon elemental forces to surround it in fire.
The target of the inferno takes 6d6 points of fire damage unless it
makes a Fortitude save. In each round thereafter, the fire deals 1d6 fewer
points of damage (minimum 1d6) until the spell ends or the subject manages to
extinguish the flames. Thus, the fire deals 5d6 points of damage in the second
round, 4d6 points in the third round, and so forth.
Flammable, nonmagical items carried by the
target automatically fail their saves to resist this damage.
After the first round, the subject can
attempt a DC 15 Reflex save as a full-round action to extinguish the flames
before taking additional damage. Rolling on the ground (the subject becomes
prone) allows the target a +2 bonus on this save. Leaping into a large body of
water or magically extinguishing the flames automatically ends the effect.
Material Component: A gob of beeswax.
Necromancy
Level: Druid 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 round/2 levels

Spell Resistance: Yes
You touch your foe with the dust of
dead flies on your fingers, giving birth to hundreds of writhing maggots in his
flesh.
With a successful melee touch attack, you
infest a creature with maggotlike creatures. If the touched creature fails a
Fortitude saving throw, the magical maggots deal 1d4 points of Constitution
damage each round at the beginning of your turn. The subject makes a new
Fortitude save each round
to negate the damage in that round and end
the effect.
The infestation can be removed with a remove disease or heal spell.
Material Component: A handful of dead, dried flies.

Black bubbles of ink boil up from the
vial in your hand and quickly spread to fill all the water around you with
darkness, blocking your vision.
You create an inky cloud that billows out
from your location. The cloud obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond
5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment. Creatures farther away have
total concealment.
A moderate current disperses the cloud in 4
rounds; a strong current disperses the cloud in 1 round.

your foot in time. With a wink and a grin you mark your target, who shortly
thereafter follows suit.

Intelligence-based skill checks and Concentration checks due to an endlessly
recycling melody stuck in its mind. Whenever the subject attempts to cast,
concentrate on, or direct a spell, it must succeed on a Concentration check (DC

attempt.

You concentrate on assisting your
friends as you begin the short chant and simple handchopping motion necessary

As you finish, the spell’s chant
allows you to segue easily into bolstering your allies.
While this spell is in effect, the morale
bonus granted by your inspire courage bardic music increases by 1.

50 pounds) to a locale you name.
When casting instant refuge, you must specify the locale and detail up
to six specific conditions that trigger the spell.

Evocation [Language-Dependent]
Level: Cleric 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Target: One creature
Duration: 24 hours/level or until discharged
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
Your spell creates a bond between
yourself and the creature you touch, a bond unbroken even by the distance
between planes.
This spell allows you to send a limited
message of twenty-five words or less to the targeted creature, who can be on
another plane when the message is received.
Casting the spell takes a standard action,
during which you touch the creature you intend to communicate with.
That creature should be able to understand
a language you know (otherwise, when the magic is activated, the creature knows
that you sent the message, but has no idea what the message is). At any time
afterward, you can send your interplanar message to that creature.
The message pops into the target’s mind,
awake or asleep, and the target is aware that the message has been delivered.
If the message arrives when the target is asleep, it might appear as a vivid dream
that the target remembers upon awakening.
This spell does not obligate nor force the
creature you communicate with to act. The target cannot reply to tell you its
plans or intentions. The message travels through the Astral Plane to reach its
target, so the spell cannot reach planes separate from (not coterminous to or
coexistent with) the Astral Plane.
You can have only one interplanar message
active at any given time.

As you complete the spell, your
senses dull somewhat. Upon releasing the spell’s energy on your desired
subject, your senses clear, although the spell’s recipient can no longer be
perceived.
This powerful glamer functions like invisibility (PH 245), except that it masks image,
scent, and sound alike, concealing the subject from all senses except touch. As
with greater
invisibility, this spell doesn’t end
if the subject attacks. While invisible, the subject exudes no scent and is
undetectable by scent, blindsense, tremorsense, and blindsight.
Superior invisibility renders the recipient immune to detection
by see
invisibility, faerie fire, glitterdust, invisibility purge, and dust of appearance, although creatures under the effect of the spell can be detected
by true seeing. Certain mundane conditions (such as leaving
footprints) can also render a subject detectable.

A
brief flash engulfs your undead ally, and through its flesh you can see its
skeleton. The skeleton glows a dusky red for a moment.

creature’s skeleton changes to iron.
The creature gains a +6 natural armor bonus
to AC.

steel.

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One suit of armor touched/ 3 levels
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object)
As you imitate a clanking noise you
brush your hand over the armor you wish to silence. The armor glows softly
orange for a moment before the glow fades. A closer look reveals what looks
like orange grease in the joints of the armor.
While this spell is in effect, the armor
check penalty from the affected suit or suits of armor does not apply on Hide
and Move Silently checks. Only wearers proficient in the armor’s use get this
benefit when wearing the affected armor. The armor check penalty still applies
to other skill checks as normal.
Abjuration
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 7
Components: V, S, F, M This spell functions like lesser ironguard, except that the subject you touch is immune
to magic metal as well.
Material Component: A tiny shield of wood, glass, or crystal.
Focus: A small nugget of adamantine worth 100 gp.
Abjuration
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You watch as your target’s skin
lightens and takes on a translucent look.
The subject of lesser ironguard becomes immune to nonmagical metal. Metal
items (including metal weapons) simply pass through you, and you can walk
through metal barriers such as iron bars. Magic metal affects you normally, as
do spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural effects. Attacks delivered by
metal items (such as poison on a dagger) affect you normally. If the spell
expires while metal is inside you, the metal object is shunted out of your body
(or you away from the metal, if it is an immovable object such as a set of iron
bars). You and the object each take 1d6 points of damage as a result (ignoring
the object’s hardness for determining damage to it).
Because you pass through metal, you can
ignore armor bonuses from nonmagic metal armor on opponents you attack with
unarmed attacks.
Material Component: A tiny shield of wood, glass, or crystal.
Abjuration
Level: Bard 1, cleric 1, sorcerer/ wizard 1
Components: V, S, M

You mutter the spell and uncork a
bottle with a noxious concoction of scorpion venom, toad sweat, adder venom,
and the strained brains of carrion crawlers. The poisonous liquid evaporates
into a black cloud that surrounds your hand as you reach out to touch the target.
You enable a creature to better fight off
the effect of poison. The subject is filled with antitoxin and gains a +5
alchemical bonus on Fortitude saves against all kinds of poisons, whether
injury, contact, ingestion, or inhalation. After the spell ends, the subject is
nauseated for 1 round.
Material Component: A vial containing the diluted poison of
four different creatures.
