When this spell is cast, the wizard can alter their appearance and form. Your body can undergo a limited physical alteration to change in size by up to 50%, as well as changing into any kind of human, demihuman, or other generally man-shaped bipedal creature, and your clothes and equipment can be similarly changed. If the selected form has wings, you can fly, but only at 1/3 the speed of the actual creature. If the form has gills, you can breathe underwater. However, you gain no combat-related bonuses based on the assumed form. Once the form is chosen, it remains for the duration, or until you dismiss it at will. A slain caster automatically reverts to their true form.
When this spell is employed, the wizard can command any nonliving ropelike object, including string, yarn, cord, line, rope, or even a cable. The spell affects 50 feet of normal rope (with a 1-inch diameter), plus 5 feet per caster level. This length is reduced by 50% for every additional inch of thickness and increased by 50% for each half-inch less. The possible commands are Coil (form a neat, coiled stack), Coil & Knot, Loop, Loop & Knot, Tie & Knot, and the reverses of all of the above. One command can be given each round. The rope can only enwrap a creature within 1 foot of itself. The rope does not inflict damage of any type, but can be used as a trip line or to entangle a single opponent who fails a save vs. spell.
The blindness spell causes the victim to become blind, able to see only a grayness before its eyes. Various cure spells will not remove this effect, and only a dispel magic or the spellcaster can do away with the blindness if the creature fails its initial saving throw vs. spell. A blinded creature suffers a -4 penalty to its attack rolls, and its opponents gain a +4 bonus to their attack rolls.
When a blur spell is cast, the wizard causes the outline of their form to become blurred, shifting and wavering. This distortion causes all missile and melee combat attacks against you to be made with -4 penalties on the first attempt and -2 penalties on all successive attacks. It also grants you a +1 bonus to your saving throws against any direct magical attack. A detect invisibility spell will not counter this effect, but the 5th-level priest spell True Seeing and similar magic will.
This spell is similar to a light spell, except that it is as bright as full daylight and lasts until negated by magical darkness or by a dispel magic spell. As with the light spell, it can be cast into the air, onto an object, or at a creature. When cast at a creature, the target gets a saving throw vs. spell, where success indicates that the spell affects the space about 1 foot behind the creature instead. Note that this spell can also blind a creature if it is successfully cast upon the creature's visual organs, reducing its attack rolls, saving throws, and Armor Class by 4. If the spell is cast on a small object that is then placed in a light-proof covering, the spell's effects are blocked until the covering is removed. A continual light brought into an area of magical darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect. A direct casting of continual light against a similar or weaker magical darkness cancels both. This spell eventually consumes the material it is cast upon, but the process takes extremely long. Extremely hard and expensive materials can thousands of years.
This spell causes total, impenetrable darkness in the area of effect. Infravision is useless. Neither normal nor magical light works unless a light or continual light spell is used. In the former event, the darkness spell is negated by the light spell, and vice versa.
This spell causes the recipient to become totally deaf and unable to hear any sounds. The victim is allowed a saving throw vs. spell. An affected creature has a -1 penalty to its surprise rolls unless its other senses are unusually keen. Deafened spellcasters have a 20% chance to miscast any spell with a verbal component. This deafness can be done away with only by means of a dispel magic spell or by the spellcaster.
This spell enables the wizard to specially prepare a garment so as to hold far more than it normally could. A finely sewn gown or robe of high-quality material (at least 50 gp value) is fashioned so as to contain numerous hand-sized pockets. One dozen is the minimum number. The deeppockets spell then enables these pockets to hold a total of 100 pounds (5 cubic feet in volume) as if it were only 10 pounds of weight. Furthermore, there are no discernible bulges where the special pockets are. Each special pocket is actually an extradimensional holding space. If the spell duration expires while there is material within the enchanted pockets, or if a successful dispel magic is cast upon the enchanted garment, all the material suddenly appears around the wearer and immediately falls to the ground. You can also cause all the pockets to empty with a single command. The garment loses its magic at the end of the spell's duration, but can be reused for the purposes of this spell.
This spell discovers emanations of evil (or of good in the case of the reverse spell) from any creature, object, or area. Character alignment is not revealed under most circumstances: Characters who are strongly aligned, do not stray from their faith, and who are at least 9th level might radiate good or evil if they are intent upon appropriate actions. Powerful monsters, such as ki-rin, send forth emanations of evil or good, even if polymorphed. Aligned undead radiate evil, for it is this power and negative force that enables them to continue existing. An evilly cursed object or unholy water radiates evil, but a hidden trap or an unintelligent viper does not. The degree of evil (faint, moderate, strong, overwhelming) can be noted. Note that priests have a more powerful version of this spell. You must concentrate for at least one round to receive a reading.
When the wizard casts this spell, they are able to see clearly any objects or beings that are invisible, as well as any that are astral, ethereal, or out of phase. In addition, it enables you to detect hidden or concealed creatures (for example, thieves in shadows, halflings in underbrush, and so on). It does not reveal the method of concealment or invisibility, except in the case of astral travelers (where the silver cord can be seen). It does not reveal illusions or enable the caster to see through physical objects.
When an ESP spell is used, the wizard is able to detect the surface thoughts of any creatures in range. The ESP is stopped by 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead foil. You are able to probe the surface thoughts of one creature per round. Probes can continue on the same creature from round to round or can move on to other creatures. You can use the spell to help determine if a creature lurks behind a door, for example, but the ESP does not always reveal what sort of creature it is. If used as part of a program of interrogation, an intelligent and wary subject receives an initial saving throw. If successful, the creature successfully resists and the spell reveals no additional information. If the saving throw is failed, you may learn additional information.
This spell creates a burning globe of fire within 10 yards of the wizard. This sphere rolls in whichever direction you point, at a rate of 30 feet per round. It rolls over barriers less than 4 feet tall, such as furniture, low walls, etc. Flammable substances are set afire by contact with the sphere. Creatures in contact with the globe must successfully save vs. spell or suffer 2d4 points of fire damage. Those within 5 feet of the sphere's surface must also save or suffer 1d4 points of heat damage. A successful saving throw means no damage is suffered. The DM may adjust the saving throws if there is little or no room to dodge the sphere. The sphere moves as long as you actively direct it. Otherwise, it merely stays at rest and burns. It can be extinguished by the same means as any normal fire of its size. The surface of the sphere has a spongy, yielding consistency and so does not cause damage except by its flame.
The fog cloud spell can be cast in one of two ways, at the wizard's option: as a large, stationary bank of normal fog, or as a harmless fog that resembles the 5th-level wizard spell Cloudkill. As a fog bank, this spell creates a fog of any size and shape up to a maximum 20-foot cube per caster level. The fog obscures all sight, normal and infravision, beyond 2 feet. As a Cloudkill-like fog, this is a billowing mass of ghastly, yellowish-green vapors, measuring 40 feet x 20 feet x 20 feet. This moves away from you at 10 feet per round. The vapors are heavier than air and sink to the lowest level, even pouring down sinkholes and den openings. Very thick vegetation breaks up the fog after it has moved 20 feet into the vegetation. The only effect of either version is to obscure vision. A strong breeze will disperse either effect in one round, while a moderate breeze will reduce the spell duration by 50%. The spell cannot be cast underwater.
Copper coins can temporarily be changed to gold pieces, or brass items turned to solid gold, for the spell duration by means of this magic. The area of effect is 10 cubic inches per level--i.e., a 1-inch x 1-inch x 10-inch volume or equivalent, equal to about 150 gold coins. Any creature viewing the gold is entitled to a save vs. spell, with a -1 penalty per experience level you have. Thus, it is unlikely that fools' gold will be detected if created by a high-level caster. If the gold is struck hard by an object of cold-wrought iron, there is a slight chance it will revert to its natural state, depending on the material used to cast the spell: 30% with citrine, 25% with amber, 10% with topaz, and 1% with corundum.
By means of this spell, the wizard causes creatures within the area of effect to forget the events of the previous round. For every three levels of experience you have, another minute of past time is forgotten. This does not negate Charm, Suggestion, Geas, Quest, or similar spells, but it is possible that the being who placed such magic upon the recipient could be forgotten. Up to four creatures in range can be affected, at your discretion. If only one is to be affected, the recipient saves vs. spell with a -2 penalty. If two, they save with -1 penalties. If three or four are to be affected, they save normally. A priest's Heal or Restoration spell, if specially cast for this purpose, will restore the lost memories, as will a Limited Wish or Wish, but no other means will do so.
This spell creates a cloud of glittering golden particles within the area of effect. Those in the area must roll a successful saving throw vs. spell or be blinded (-4 penalties to attack rolls, saving throws, and Armor Class) for 1d4+1 rounds. In addition, all within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Note that this reveals invisible creatures.
When this spell is cast, the wizard creates a weaving, twisting pattern of subtle colors in the air. This pattern causes any creature looking at it to become fascinated and stand gazing at it as long as you maintain the display, plus two rounds thereafter. The spell can captivate a maximum of 24 levels, or Hit Dice, of creatures. All creatures affected must be within the area of effect, and each is entitled to a save vs. spell. A damage-inflicting attack on an affected creature frees it from the spell immediately.
Like the 1st-level Phantasmal Force spell, this spell creates the illusion of any object, creature, or force, as long as it is within the spell's area of effect. The wizard can maintain the illusion with minimal concentration--thus, they can move at half normal speed, but not cast other spells. Some minor sounds are included in the effects of the spell, but not understandable speech. Also, the improved phantasm continues for two rounds after you cease concentrating upon it. The affected area can be 200 square feet, plus 50 square feet per level of experience you have.
This spell causes the creature touched to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible
This spell affects the epidermis of 1-4 creatures within range. This spell can be cast in two forms, Itch or Rash. ITCH can target up to 4 creatures within range, and if one round is not immediately spent scratching the irritated area, the creature is so affected that the next 3 rounds are spent squirming and twisting, effectively worsening their AC by 4 and their attack rolls by 2. Spell preparations are ruined during the first round of this effect only. RASH, however, can only target one creature. When cast, the subject notices nothing for 1d4 rounds, but thereafter its entire skin breaks out in red, itchy welts. It lowers Charisma by 1 point per day to a maximum of -4, and Dexterity is reduced by 1 after one week. The rash lasts until a Cure Disease or Dispel Magic spell is cast upon it. When targeting only two creatures, the targets receive a -1 penalty to their save vs. spell. When targeting only one creature, the target has a -2 penalty.
The knock spell opens stuck, barred, locked, or held doors. It opens secret doors, as well as locked or trick-opening boxes or chests. It also loosens welds, shackles, or chains. If used to open a wizard-locked door, the spell does not remove the former spell, but simply suspends its functioning for one turn. Note that the effect is limited by the area. A 3rd-level wizard can cast a knock spell on a door of 30 square feet or less (for example, a standard 4-ft. x 7-ft. door). Each spell can undo up to two means of preventing egress through a portal. Thus if a door is locked, barred, and held, or triple locked, opening it requires two knock spells. In all cases, the location of the door or item must be known. The reverse spell, lock, closes and locks a door or similar closure, provided there is a physical mechanism. It does not create a weld, but it locks physically operated locking mechanisms, set bars, and so on, up to two functions.
This spell enables the priest to exactly read the aura of a creature or an aligned object (unaligned objects reveal nothing). You must remain stationary and concentrate on the subject for a full round. If the creature rolls a successful save vs. spell, you learn nothing about that particular creature from the casting. Certain magical devices negate the power of the know alignment spell. The reverse, Undetectable Alignment, conceals the alignment of an object or creature for 24 hours.
This false trap is designed to fool a thief or other character attempting to pilfer the wizard's goods. The wizard places the spell upon any small mechanism or device, such as a lock, hinge, hasp, screw-on cap, ratchet, etc. Any character able to detect traps, or who uses any spell or device enabling trap detection, is 100% certain a real trap exists. Of course, the spell is illusory and nothing happens if the trap is sprung--its primary purpose is to frighten away thieves or make them waste precious time. If another Leomund's Trap is within 50 feet when the spell is cast, the casting fails.
This spell causes one target weighing up to 100 pounds per level of experience to begin floating. If cast on the wizard, they can move vertically up and down at a movement rate of 2. If cast on another object or creature, you can levitate it at the same speed according to your command. This spell does not empower horizontal movement, but the recipient can push off of things in order to move horizontally. You can cancel this spell at any time. Unwilling targets get a save vs. spell to avoid its effects. Levitating creatures have a cumulative -1 to attack on each missile attack, but can stabilize to reset.
This spell aids in locating a known or familiar object. The wizard casts the spell, slowly turns, and senses when they are facing in the direction of the object to be located, provided it is within range. The spell can locate such objects as apparel, jewelry, furniture, tools, weapons, or even a ladder or stairway. Note that attempting to find a specific item, such as jewelry or a crown, requires an accurate mental image--if the image is not close enough to the actual, the spell does not work. Desired but unique objects cannot be located by this spell unless they are known by you. The spell is blocked by lead. Creatures cannot be targeted by this spell. The material component is a forked twig. The reversal, obscure object, hides an object from location by spell, crystal ball, or similar means for eight hours.
When this spell is cast, the wizard imbues the chosen object with an enchanted mouth that suddenly appears and speaks its message when a specified event occurs. The message, which must be of 25 words or less, can be in any language known by you, and can be delivered over a period of one turn. The mouth moves to the words articulated--if it is placed upon a statue, the mouth of the statue would actually move and appear to speak. The magic mouth can be placed upon any object or non-intelligent plant. The spell functions when specific conditions are fulfilled, according to the command of the spellcaster. Commands can be as general or as detailed as desired, although only visual and audible triggers can be used, such as the following: Speak only when a venerable female human carrying a sack of groat clusters sits crosslegged within 1 foot. Such visual triggers can react to a character using the disguise ability. A magic mouth cannot distinguish invisible creatures, alignments, level, Hit Dice, or class, except by external garb.
By means of this spell, the wizard creates a magical arrow that speeds to its target as if fired from the bow of a fighter of the same level as the wizard. No modifiers for range, nonproficiency, or specialization are used. The arrow has no attack or damage bonus, but it inflicts 2d4 points of acid damage (with saving throws for items on the target). There is no splash damage. The acid, unless somehow neutralized, lasts for another round, inflicting another 2d4 points of damage each round.
