This spells brings a magical force resembling a flaming gauntlet to cover one of the casters hands and forearm (caster’s choice). While the gauntlet is in place, it draws fiery attacks to itself, granting the caster the effects of a protection from elements [fire]. the gauntlet can absorb a maximum of 1 level of fire spell as potential energy per caster level. Even area of effect spells like fireball and meteor swarm are drawn to the gauntlet rather than causing damage to the target area. The caster can release this stored spell energy as a fireball once per round as a full action utilizing as much of the stored potential as the caster wishes. Once the gauntlet has released all of its stored potential, it dissipates harmlessly, even if it could have held more capacity at a later time. If the gauntlet is overloaded by an attack, the remaining damage is visited on the caster only. The material components for the spell are a gauntlet made from finest leather, 1000gp of powdered fire opal, a lodestone, and a drop of red dragon’s blood.

The caster creates a bound globe of airless space. Any living creature within its confines must make a Fortitude Save with a –4 circumstance penalty or fall unconscious from the lack of oxygen. Holding one’s breath is of no help, for the dweomer pulls air out of lungs. Those failing the save will die on the following round unless air is provided to them. Creatures saving retain consciousness, but must flee the sphere or fall unconscious on the following round. The limits of the sphere are invisible to the unaided eye, so creatures can wander into it. The undead and outsiders are unaffected by this spell, as are constructs. A character employing a spell or item which negates the need to breathe is immune to this spell. The material component for this spell is a hollow glass globe containing a vacuum.
