Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (5 ft./level)
Target: One force bridge
Duration: Up to 30 minutes
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster creates a bridge of magical energy over a chasm or obstacle. The bridge is up to 10 feet wide and long per caster level; length increases with caster level not width. The bridge needs no supports other than a solid point of origin and bears any weight. The bridge is not subject to attack, except disintegration, which dispels it instantly. The absolute duration is 30 minutes, unless the caster wishes to end the dweomer sooner. For instance, the caster may wish opponents to cross midway and then have the bridge disappear.

Corwyn's Cloak of Comforts (Abjuration)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 hour/ level
Target: Special (see text)
Saving Throw: Yes (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The caster surrounds recipients in a protective field of force. The caster can generate one such field for each 3 caster levels he possesses. Each field covers a medium sized creature; thus, two small creatures could benefit from one field (which can be split), while a large creature requires four cloaks to be completely covered. Any cloaks used that partially cover a creature (i.e. 3 on a L) fail. Anyone covered by a cloak ignores the first 5 points of any damage as if covered by resist elements [all]. The body temperature of the protected creature remains stable, so the spell also negates any adverse environmental conditions. Lastly while under the protection of this dweomer, the recipient is kept completely dry, even if completely immersed. The cloak does not provide any means of breathing underwater, however. The material components for this spell are a scrap of oiled leather and a piece of cepracloth.
Corwyn’s Crystal Cage (Tranmutation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (30 ft. + 5 ft./level)
Target: One medium target/ 5 levels
Duration: 10 minutes + 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster entombs the target creature(s) within magic crystal; any creature failing its saving throw is completely immobilized for the spell’s duration. A successful Will Save shatters the crystal as it forms. The spell can be prematurely ended by the will of the caster, dispel magic, shatter, or unbinding; no physical blows have any effect upon the crystal. Note that the crystal cage prevents all physical movement and speech, but does not block concentration on spells already in effect. Creatures from the elemental plane of earth are not affected by this spell. The material component for this spell is a piece of quartz.
Dragonspell (Transmutation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M, XP
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Personal, Special
Target: Caster
Duration: 1 day
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster casts spells without material components as a dragon does. This spell mimics the benefits of the eschew components feat. When the mage prepares this spell, he prepares an alter containing all the normal material components for his spells. The mage then casts dragonspell over the area. Afterwards when the mage casts a spell, the appropriate material component disappears from the predweomered area. Components are consumed only if used but are not regenerated. Thus, if the mage doesn’t leave enough behind, loses count or runs out, a later cast spell may fail. It is a good idea to make sure an apprentice checks this area regularly to restock components. The spell must be renewed each day, but the caster the caster need not be in the predweomered area except for the original casting. A caster can only have one such area at any one time; if the mage creates a second area, the first one loses its abilities. The material component for this spell is a dragon’s scale which the caster must carry upon his person. This spell costs 200XP to attune the mage’s alter area to himself.
Dyzan’s Instant Readiness (Alteration)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: Quickened action
Range: Medium (120 ft.)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster assists another in quick preparation for battle. Upon pronouncement of the spell, the recipient’s armor fastens itself into place, shield (if applicable) goes to one arm and weapon to the other. The recipient finds himself mentally alert, making him instantly ready for melee. The material components for the spell are a scrap of metal taken from armor worn into battle and three coffee beans.
Dyzan’s Meticulous Scribe (Transmutation)
Level: Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Close (30 ft.)
Target: One spellbook, one spell level/ caster level
Duration: One hour/ level
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The wizard alters the spells within his spellbooks to maximize efficient use of space. The meticulous scribe goes through the wizard’s books, removing excess space and consolidating writings in such a way that they utilize less than the standard space for recorded spells. Spells of levels 0-3 take up half the listed space in the PH. Free space is moved to the end of the book for further use. This spell does nothing to improve the quality of the writing from the original and cannot function on magical writings of any sort. Once cast, the wizard need not concentrate on the spell to maintain its function, but the spell ends if the wizard moves out of range. It is permissible to recast the meticulous scribe as it is expiring to continue its work uninterrupted. The material component for the spell is a specially prepared quill once used by a master scribe and dusted with the ashes of a scroll which contained a magic spell. The quill is not consumed by the spell but is subject to normal wear and tear.
Emberswarm (Evocation [Fire])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (10 ft / level)
Duration: 1 minute/ 3 levels
Area: 10 ft. high x 30 ft. long x 30 ft. wide cloud/ 4 levels
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster creates a choking cloud of smoke and burning embers that engulfs her foes. Once cast, this spell is immobile. Creatures caught within the cloud will take a d4 points of fire damage/ 2 caster levels (maximum 5d4) from the embers and are affected by the smoke as if it were a stinking cloud. A successful Fortitude Save halves the fire damage and allows the creature to move at half of its normal movement rate to escape the cloud. A failed save indicates that the creature is helpless from smoke inhalation and cannot escape on its own for the spell's duration. After one round of exposure, any creature still within the cloud takes another round of fire damage from the burning embers. Casting spells within the cloud requires a successful Concentration check. Creatures immune to fire can still take damage from the smoke and vice versa. Movement within the cloud is difficult; normal vision is limited to 5 feet. An emberswarm is dispelled by unbinding, and a gust of wind reduces its duration by half. An air elemental dispels it on contact as well. The material components for this spell is greenwood from an evergreen.
Flamelance (Evocation [Fire])

Target: One Target
Duration: 2 rounds
Saving Throw: Reflex partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
The mage creates a continual gout of flame from his hand which flares forth to scorch its target. The lance unerringly hits its initial target and does a d4 per level of the caster in damage (maximum 10d4); a successful Reflex Save halves damage. On the second round of the lance’s existence, the mage must make a successful “to hit” roll against his intended target (which may be the same or different). If successful, the lance does damage as per its first round; if the caster misses, the lance fades away in a puff of sulfurous smoke. The material components of this spell are charcoal and sulfur.
Fluid Armor (Conjuration [Calling])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: The caster
Duration: 1 hour/ level
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster covers herself in a protective, watery skin. The caster gains a +5 defensive bonus to armor class as well as fire resistance 10. Fluid armor moves upon the caster and can be used to form any clothing or disguise the caster desires by concentrating for a full round. This adaptability gives a +2 circumstance bonus on disguise checks. Such 'clothing' is always a watery hue and is cool to the touch. The material component is a vial of holy water. Water from Merleau's temple improves the armor class bonus to +6 and the fire resistance to 15.
Glimlis’ Globe (Evocation [Force])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (10 feet/level)
Target: Special
Duration: 1 minute/level or Special
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
When the mage casts this spell, a blue globe of energy flies from his fingertips. The globe unerringly strikes its intended target, and unless the victim makes a Will Save, it becomes englobed and immobilized for the spell’s duration. From within, nothing can destroy or affect the globe, and escape is impossible once a save is failed. On the outside, the spell’s duration must end, the caster must will the dweomer to end, or a dispel magic must be attempted to bring down the globe. While the globe is intact, nothing can harm the creature within. Communication is possible through the globe and parley can take place. The caster may attempt to shrink the globe and its contents with a reduce or item spell . At this point, a second save at –2 is allowed; if this save is made, the creature breaks free.

Jaquara's Missile Mirror (Abjuration)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, F, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10' radius aura surrounding caster
Duration: 10 minutes + 1 minute/ level
Area: Caster
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster protects the area of effect from missile attacks. All missile attacks, and ranged magical attacks requiring a ranged touch attack or automatically hitting, such as magic missile and Melf's Acid Arrow, rebound upon the sender. The attack uses the same rolled DC to determine if it hits and causes damage, and a save applies as applicable. In any case, spells over 3rd level are not reflected by this spell and affect the caster normally. The spell lasts until its duration expires or it has reflected 150 points of damage; a hit which surpasses 150 points in damage is reflected, but the sender only takes the damage that the spell absorbed. The material components are a silver mirror worth at least 50gp (focus) and a small ball of rubber.
Lycanthropy (Enchantment)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Target: One creature
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
The mage is inflicts the target with lycanthropy. This spell works only on a subject who drinks the material component. If the victim is willing to become a lycanthrope, there is no save; otherwise, a successful Fortitude Save negates the spell. Outsiders, undead, lycanthropes, or any creature with damage reduction are not subject to this spell, even if willing. The mage prepares a potion containing powdered moonstone, wolvesbane, wine, and the blood of some lycanthrope. The creature drinks the potion at night while the mage casts the spell. The creature becomes the same kind of lycanthrope as the blood used in the potion, adding lycanthrope to its template. The new lycanthrope must spend time developing his new powers as outlined in the DMG, but is already a “natural” lycanthrope and not subject to curing. Only a wish or miracle can restore the subject to its prior form. This spell is considered a curse in some areas and casting it is punishable by death.
Navigator (Divination)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous
Area: Caster's position
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The mage gains detailed information about the spot on which he stands for future teleportation. Navigator gives the caster a detailed impression of his current location. This information is enough to allow the mage to teleport to and from the area as though it were under the category of “very familiar”. Magics which prevent scrying will foil the navigator.
Reflector (Abjuration)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: NoneTarget: Caster
Duration: 1 minute /2 levels
Saving Throw: Special
Spell Resistance: No
The mage alters the his body to absorb light energy instead of reflect it. After casting this spell, the mage is completely protected from any light based spell attack, including light, color spray, hypnotic pattern, rainbow pattern, prismatic and chromatic spells, sunbeam and sunburst. Upon striking the mage, the energy of the magic gathers in his aura instead of having the desired effect. On any subsequent round prior to the spell’s duration, the caster may redirect these energies in the form of an electrical discharge, to any opponent within 30 feet; this action is considered a partial action. The conversion factor for the discharge is one d6 for every level of absorbed spell; for spell-like abilities, substitute the caster level or CR of the attacking creature. Any form of magical darkness negates this spell, as will a successful dispel magic.
Reling's Arctrap (Evocation [Electricity])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch Duration: Until discharged then 1 minute/ level
Target: One item with a frame
Area: 5’ radius around protected object
Saving Throw: Reflex partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
The mage enchants the target object to electrocute those who disturb it. Reling devised this spell to accommodate those thieves who knew about or had survived the claw of fire. The target object of this spell must have a frame of some kind (a door frame, chest top, arch, etc.). The mage specifies up to three other persons other than himself who may pass through the frame without triggering the dweomer. Reling's Arctrap can be detected by a successful Search check (Rogues only; DC = 29; the same DC to attempt a disable). When activated, the spell sends bolts of electricity arcing through the enchanted frame. Any creature caught within the frame takes a d6/ caster level in electrical damage. A successful Reflex Save halves damage. Creatures immune to electrical attacks activate the spell but take no damage from it. The spell then spreads around the object in a 5 foot radius bathing it in a protective aura of electricity. This aura does not damage the object but remains for one minute per caster level, damaging any who touch it. A dispel magic does not dispel the trap, but rather activates it to protect its charge. (When used in conjunction with a paralyzing trap, this spell becomes deadly. -Reling) The material component for this spell is 500gp of powdered sapphire.
Replay (Illusion [Figment])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 turn
Range: Close (10 ft.)
Duration: 1 minute/ level
Area: 20 ft. diameter around focus
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The illusionist replays a scene which occurred in the target area. To employ this spell, the illusionist pre-casts this spell on some small object (weighing under 5#) and having a reflective surface somewhere upon it. At any later time, the illusionist may leave this item in the target area and activate the dweomer from up to 120 ft. away. The item records all action within the area of effect for the spell's duration. The illusionist then retrieves the object and commands it to replay. The reflective surface reflects the actions previously recorded and replays sound. After each use, the item must be re-enchanted. This spell is especially useful for spying, because it succeeds against blocking magics of 3rd level and below. A dispel magic or erase can destroy the recording before it plays. An identify will reveal a replay item but not its message.
Shadowboxing (Illusion [Phantasm])
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (30 ft. + 5 ft./ level)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 minute/ level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
The mage creates a shadowy threat from his enemy’s shadow. If the target fails a Will save, he finds himself assailed by his own shadow. The shadow attacks with the same abilities as the creature it mimics, including base attacks, AC, and damage; however, the shadow has the hit points of the mage that created it. For example, a mage casts this spell on a 10th level fighter. If the fighter fails to save, his shadow attacks him as a 10th level fighter with the same AC, hits per round, and feats the fighter has. This spell is negated when its duration lapses, the caster so wills, it receives more damage than it has hit points, hostility towards the caster ends, it is dispelled, or magical darkness or light is cast upon it.

The shadows relate complete descriptions as required as if they had above normal intelligence. Note that the shadows must have been present when and in existence since a given event occurred in order to relate it to the caster. The material component for this spell is a small silver cone with a hole at the apex.

Unless otherwise specified, the sheet materializes at the caster's waist level at the desired range.

While under the effects of the Sleep of Death, the target is unaffected by poisons, loss of ability scores, level draining, or any mind affecting spells. Thecaster may end this spell at any time by force of will; the target will revive normally over the course of the next round. The material components for this spell are sand and aconite.
