EPIC SPELLCASTING VARIANT

Epic spells in this system are slightly different from those found on other prime worlds. First off, the feat Epic
Spellcasting is unnecessary since the development costs alone more than make up for the power of an epic spell.
Another thing to note is that epic spells are not arbitrarily assigned to the ambiguous 10th-level strata. Rather, each
epic spell has its own unique spell level in accordance to its own power.
Furthermore, epic spells are not designed solely by use of the epic seeds presented in the Epic Level Handbook.
Instead, non-epic spells are used as unique seeds and modified according to a set of design parameters. Stock epic
seeds can be used to implement ideas that cannot be found in the developers spell lists.
Another major difference is the removal of the Spellcraft check needed to cast the spell. The development, the
required ability scores, Spellcraft check, and the needed epic spell levels are more than enough to compensate for
the power of most epic spells. While Spellcraft has no bearing on casting spells individually, a character can only
have a number of epic spells known equal to 1/10th their total Spellcraft check, not merely their ranks.
Lastly, epic spells are not handed out according to ones ranks in Knowledge (arcana) or similar skills the epic
spells spell level is just as responsible for its use as the creators designs. If you want to cast Olympian Bolt, for
instance, you would need access to 16th-level spells (via Improved Spell Capacity x7), a base relative ability of 26,
and spend the resources to develop the spell itself. The following are the steps typically needed to develop unique
epic spells of your own.

0. Design Concept
Sketch out a rough idea of what you want your spell to do.
1. Choose a Base Spell Seed
Now that you know what kind of spell effect you want, choose an existing spell(s) as the base seed. A spell seeds
base DC is equal to the minimum caster level for the developer to cast the spell + 13.

Adding Seed DCs: When two or more spell seeds are combined in an epic spell, their base Spellcraft DCs are added
together. Both contribute toward the spells final Spellcraft DC.
Determining School: When combining two or more spell seeds to develop an epic spell, the school of the finished
spell is decided by the caster from among the seeds that make up the epic spell.
Combining Descriptors: When two or more spell seeds are combined in an epic spell, all the descriptors from each
seed apply to the finished spell.
Combining Components and Casting Times: Almost every epic spell has verbal and somatic components and a 1
action time, regardless of the number of epic seeds combined.
Combining Range, Targets, Area, and Effect: One spell seed might have a range of Long, another seed might
have a range of touch feet, and a third seed might not have a range at all. Likewise, some spell seeds have targets,
while others have an effect or an area. To determine which spell seed takes precedence in the finished epic spell, the
caster must decide which spell seed is the base seed. The seed most important to the spells overall purpose is the
base seed, and it determines the casting time, range, target, and so on. The other spell seeds apply only their specific
effects to the finished spell. It is occasionally difficult to determine a base seed by examining the spells effects. If
no one seed is most important, simply pick one seed for the purposes of making this determination.
Combining Durations: When combining two or more spell seeds to develop an epic spell, the seed with the shortest
duration determines the duration of the finished epic spell. If any spell seed of an epic spell is dismissible by the
caster, the epic spell is dismissible.
Saving Throws: Even if more than one seed has an associated saving throw, the final spell will have only a single
saving throw. If two or more seeds have the same kind of saving throw (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will), then obviously
that will be used for the spells saving throw. If the spell seeds have different kinds of saving throws, simply choose
the saving throw that seems most appropriate for the final spell.
Spell Resistance: When combining two or more spell seeds to develop an epic spell, if even one seed is subject to
spell resistance, the finished epic spell is subject to it as well.
Combining Spells Seeds and Epic Seeds: Although this new epic spellcasting system now uses spells to form the
basis of its spell seeds it does not completely ignore the existing epic spellcasting seeds. Many of the pre-existing
epic seeds grant effects not found in published spells and in such cases it is permissible to use the epic seed as one of
your spell seeds. These epic seeds use the revised general Spellcraft DC modifiers that follow rather the pre-existing
ones, but the DC modifiers inherent to each seed, remain unchanged.
2. Factors
Factors are not part of epic seeds, but they are the tools Epic Spell Factors
used to modify specific parameters of any given seed. Casting Time DC Modifier

The caster cannot somehow avoid or make himself immune to backlash damage. For spells with durations longer than instantaneous, the
backlash damage is per round. If backlash damage kills a caster, no spell or method exists that will return life to the casters body without costing
the caster a levelnot even wish, true resurrection, miracle, or epic spells that return life to the deceased. Spells that normally penalize the
recipient one level when they return him or her to life penalize a caster killed by backlash two levels. Unlike the rules presented in the Epic Level
Handbook, epic spell designers in this variant are not restricted in the amount of backlash damage or XP expense. See below for more details.

When increasing the casting time of a spell in order to reduce the Spellcraft DC, a caster must first use up the maximum of 1 minute, then 10
minutes (for a total DC modifier of 36). After that, a caster can continue to add days to the casting time, with a further modifier of 2 per day, up
to the maximum of 100 days for a total of 238 to the DC, coming from a casting time of one round.

Additional Participants: Epic spells can be developed that specifically require

additional participants. These spells are called rituals. An epic spell developed ADDITIONAL
as a ritual requires a specific number of additional participants, who each must PARTICIPANTS IN
use up one spell slot of a specified level for the day. During an epic spells RITUAL
development, the spells creator determines the number of additional
Spell Slot Level Spellcraft DC
participants and the level of the spell slots to be contributed. If the exact number
Contributed Reduction
of spellcasters does not partake in the casting, or if the casters do not each
1st 1
contribute the proper spell slot, the epic spell automatically fails. To participate,

each participant readies an action to contribute his or her raw spell energy when
the primary caster begins the epic spell. Additional participants in a ritual spell 3rd 5

whether the additional participants are arcane or divine spellcasters; only the 6 11
level of the spell slot contributed matters. A contributed spell slot is treated as if 7th 13
normally cast. A wizard may contribute either a prepared, uncast spell slot, or an 8th 15
open, unprepared slot. The Spellcraft DC adjustments for each additional 9th 17
participant stack. +1 spell level +(2)

Special: A ritual epic spell that takes longer than 1 action to cast requires all extra participants to stand as if casting
for the same amount of time. If an extra participant is attacked while contributing a spell slot, the participant must
make a Concentration check as if casting a spell of the same level as the slot contributed. If the attack disrupts the
participant in the ritual, the epic spell is not necessarily ruined. However, the Spellcraft DC reduction that would
have been provided by that additional participant cannot be applied to the final Spellcraft DC of the epic spell. Thus
the ritual epic spell will be harder for the primary spellcaster to cast. This may call for a bit of on-the-fly
adjustments, but the circumstances are rare and shouldnt bog down game play too much unless harried ritual
castings are a day-to-day affair at the gaming table.

Foci and Material Components: Epic spells can be mitigated by rare, expensive, and/or magical materials being
used as part of the casting process. Foci mitigate as if they cost half as much. Magic items mitigate as if they cost
twice as much (so a magical focus would mitigate as a non-magical component). It also bears mentioning that if a
component or focus must be manipulated by a magic spell before it is suitable (i.e. if it needs to have shrink item
cast upon it or something), then that magic is added to the formula as if it were contributed through ritual casting.
MATERIAL
Determine Costs: Total all factors and mitigating factors together to reach the
COMPONENTS AND final Spellcraft DC of the spell. The spells research cost in gold pieces is equal to
FOCI VALUES the final Spellcraft DC times 9000, and the spells experience point cost is equal to
Component/Foci 1/25th the research cost (or the Spellcraft DC times 360 XP).
DC GP Cost
1 1,250 Determine Level: Take the final DC determined previously and divide it by 10,
2 2,500 round down, and add +7. This is the level of the Improved Spell Capacity spell
3 5,000 slot needed to cast the spell. This also sets the base save DC of the epic spell.

5 20,000 Approval: This is the final step behind the curtains, and its critically important.

8 160,000 be developed. However, the GM should explain why the epic spell wasnt
9 320,000 approved and possibly offer suggestions on how to create an epic spell that will
10 640,000 be acceptable.
+(1) x2
Design: Now that the spell has been principally designed, its time for the
character to actually take the time and spend the resources. Once this step has been taken care of in-game, the
character has successfully developed the spell and can cast it normally, provided they have the required spell slots.

SPECIAL SPELL DESIGN RULES

Backlash & XP Costs: Epic spell design using this system does not place arbitrary maximums on the amount of
backlash damage a spellcaster can suffer as part of casting a spell nor how much XP can be spent as part of casting a
spell. The benefits and drawbacks are readily apparent the caster can cast more powerful spells at much greater
risk and expense. Remember that backlash damage occurs every round of a spells duration.

Dodge: Remember that no spell or magic item should ever grant a dodge bonus to a statistic.

Duration: Some spells are designed with unique durations. In many cases, epic conjurers will sacrifice the duration
of a summon spell in order to summon incredibly powerful monsters. In such cases, consider each round sacrificed
to be worth roughly 1/20th of the modifier to the Spellcraft DC derived from the weight of the summon in question.
For instance, knights of the heavens summons a DC 1944 worth of creatures but, since the duration is only 1 round,
reduces this value by 19/20ths. This reduction is represented by an ad hoc mitigating factor equal to -1847.
Other duration-based ad hoc modifiers can be eyeballed with safety. For instance, reducing a spells duration on a
round-for-round-basis should reduce the Spellcraft DC by roughly 1 point per round lost. Spells that lose half their
duration (such as going from 1 round per caster level to 1 round per two caster levels) should reduce the Spellcraft
DC by -10 (about 1 spell level after all is said and done).
Spells that have their duration increased see Spellcraft DC increases according to the Epic Spell Factors table on
page 2.
No matter how special duration effects are determined, DMs approval is the most important step in the design
process.

Integrating Non-epic Metamagic Effects: Foremost, epic spells using this system can apply certain metamagic
feats to epic spells just as easily as a non-epic spell. For flexibilitys sake, designers can hardwire a non-epic
metamagic effect into an epic spells design. Each spell level a metamagic effect would normally adjust a spells
level increases the Spellcraft DC by +7. For instance, making a spells casting time a free action as part of its design
increases the Spellcraft DC by +28, whereas maximizing a spells numerical effect as part of its design increases the
Spellcraft DC by +21. Only those metamagic feats possessed by the designer can be integrated in an epic spells
design in this fashion.

Range: Range is a big consideration when designing epic spells. In pre-epic games, the longest range one can
expect to see is equal to 400 ft. + 100 ft. per caster level; this is Long range. In an epic game, however, there is a
greater range category: extreme range. Extreme range is equal to 1000 ft. + 100 ft. per caster level.
Summoning: Epic level summon monster spells function differently that most spell seeds. Below is a general
guideline as the maximum CR and combat ability a summoned monster should possess based on spell level.

 EPIC SPELLS
The following is a collection of pre-made epic spells. Most of these spells are either undeveloped or are not
attributed to any contemporary entities if they have been developed. Several, such as the Grim spells, were made by
cosmic-level beings in times unrecorded, but their effects are so unforgettable that record of their existence has
traveled along the streams of time to the present. Grim herself is lost to the annals of time no one knows where she
is, and many feel thats for the best. Unfortunately, the power scale in Tanj is growing very swiftly compared to the
past several generations. It is only a matter of time before the dust-caked tomes containing the secrets of these
tremendous magic spells are opened up and the raw, awesome power of epic spellcasting rears its head once again.

A nimbus of swirling, glowing tendrils surrounds the heads
of the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them
resistance to spells cast by lawful creatures, and causing
lawful creatures to become blinded when they strike the
subjects. Like cloak of chaos, this abjuration has four effects.
First, each warded creature gains a +10 deflection bonus to
AC and a +10 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection
from law, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just
against attacks by lawful creatures.
Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 40
against lawful spells and spells cast by lawful creatures.
Third, the abjuration blocks possession and mental influence,
just as protection from law does.
Finally, if a lawful creature succeeds on a melee attack
against a warded creature, the offending attacker is blinded
(Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against
anarchic auras save DC).

cloudkill (DC 22). Factors: increase area by +300% (+12),
increase HD of creatures slain by +150% (+30 ad hoc),
increase Con damage die two steps (+20).
This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a fog cloud,
except that its vapors are black and poisonous. These vapors
automatically kill any living creature with 9 or fewer HD (no
save). A living creature with 10 to 15 HD is slain unless it
succeeds on a Fortitude save (in which case it takes 1d8
points of Constitution damage on your turn each round while
in the cloud).
A living creature with 15 or more HD takes 1d8 points of
Constitution damage on your turn each round while in the
cloud (a successful Fortitude save halves this damage).
Otherwise, this spell behaves identically to cloudkill.

granted a fly speed of 300 feet for 10 minutes per level. As
with the fly spell, the subject will float gently to the ground
for 1d6 rounds at 300 feet per round if the spell's duration
ends while they are aloft. If they do not reach the ground in
that time, they fall the remaining distance, taking 1d6 points
of damage for every 10 feet of fall.

This spell unleashes terrible destruction in fire and ice. When
you cast it, four 2-foot diameter spheres spring forth and
streak in straight lines to the spots you select. The meteors
leave trails of thick black smoke and sparks of white heat.
If you aim a sphere at a specific creature, you must succeed at
a ranged touch attack to hit. Any creature struck by one of
these meteors suffers 10d10 points of bludgeoning damage
(no save) and receives no saving throw against the sphere's
fire and cold damage (see below). If a targeted sphere misses
its target, it simply explodes at the nearest corner of the
target's space. You may aim more than one meteor at the
same target.
Once a sphere reaches its destination, it explodes in a 120-
foot-radius spread, dealing 20d10 points of fire damage and
20d10 points of cold damage to each creature in the area. If a
creature is in the area of more than one sphere, it must save
separately against each. Cold and fire resistance apply to each
sphere separately.
Summoning up the power to cast this awesome spell wreaks
havoc on the caster's body, dealing 10d6 points of backlash
damage.

Factor: change range to personal (DC), burn 800 XP (-8)
After casting crown of vermin, thousands of angry buzzing
locusts erupt from the very air around the caster. This swarm
forms a living aura around the caster to a radius of 10 feet.
The caster is immune to his own crown of vermin. The
swarm goes where the caster goes at his or her speed, even if
the caster takes to the air or water (though water drowns the
vermin after 1 full round of immersion, unless the spell is
cast underwater, in which case aquatic or marine vermin
answer the call and cannot leave the water). Any creature in
the area of effect automatically takes the swarms damage
(12d6). The vermin have damage reduction 1/epic, so the
vermins natural weapons are treated as epic for the purpose
of overcoming damage reduction.
The caster has utter control over the vermin in his or her aura,
and can force them into areas that would normally deter
common vermin. The caster can completely suppress his or
her vermin aura as a free action so that no vermin are visible
at all. The time that vermin are suppressed does not count
toward the spells duration. Alternatively, the caster can
roughly shape and move the vermin in any fashion he or she
desires within the limits of the 10-foot-radius spread as a
move-equivalent action.
The vermin cannot be wrested from the casters control
through any means. A crown of vermin has ten hit points per
caster level, and the vermin make all saving throws to avoid
damaging effects using the casters base saving throw
bonuses. They gain the casters spell resistance, if any, and
they get saving throws against spells that would otherwise

Mitigating Factors: suffer 10d6 points of backlash damage

When cast epic unbinding releases a burst of force from the
casters body and destroys all effects that contain, constrain,
or seal, with the exceptions noted below:
Unbinding negates charm and compulsion effects of all types,
arcane locks and similar closures, spells that create physical
or magical barriers (wall of stone, wall of force, prismatic
sphere/wall), guards and wards, temporal stasis, and slow
spells, among others. The effects of a statue spell are ended.
A magic jar is shatteredforever destroyedand the life
force within snuffed out. In addition, any spell or powers that
holds magical/psionic effects, including other spells or
powers, immediately releases them at a range of 0 feet
(including magic mouth, imbue with spell ability, and so on).
Protective spells such as protection from evil, shield, globe of
invulnerability, and similar spells are not affected by epic
unbinding. Petrified, polymorphed, or otherwise transmuted
creatures are restored to their true form. Individuals bound to
service including commanded undead and outsiders
compelled via magic are freed from service. An antimagic
field is destroyed, but epic unbinding does not affect anything
contained within the antimagic field. A magic circle spell that
currently holds a creature imprisoned is dispelled.
Curses and are negated only if the caster is of a level equal to
or greater than that of the original caster.
All these effects occur without regard to the casters wishes.
Spell effects on the person of the caster or being carried or
worn by the caster remain undisturbed, but any others within
the burst are affected, including allies. The opening of locks
or other closures triggers any alarms or traps attached to
them. Any released creature may or may not be friendly to
the caster.

A wide, booming, white ray of unnamed energy bolts from
your open mouth. You must make a successful ranged touch
attack to hit. Any creature struck by the ray takes 2d10 points
of damage per caster level (to a maximum of 100d10). Any
creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this spell is
entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine
dust. A disintegrated creatures equipment is unaffected.
When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as
much as one 50-foot cube of nonliving matter. Thus, the spell
disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure
targeted. The ray affects even objects constructed entirely of
force, such as forceful hand or a wall of force, but not
magical effects such as a globe of invulnerability or an
antimagic field. A creature or object that makes a successful
Fortitude save is partially affected, taking only 5d6 points of
damage. If this damage reduces the creature or object to 0 or
fewer hit points, it is entirely disintegrated.
Only the first creature or object struck can be affected; that is,
the ray affects only one target per casting.
Casting this spell is draining, shocking the casters system
and dealing 10d6 points of backlash damage.

This spell creates a powerful cyclone of raging wind that
moves through the air, along the ground, or over water at a
speed of 60 feet per round. You can concentrate on
controlling the cyclones every movement or specify a simple
program. Directing the cyclones movement or changing its
programmed movement is a standard action for you. The
cyclone always moves during your turn. If the cyclone
exceeds the spells range, it moves in a random, uncontrolled
fashion for 1d3 rounds and then dissipates. (You cant regain
control of the cyclone, even if comes back within range.)
Any Gargantuan or smaller creature that comes in contact
with the spell effect must succeed on a Reflex save or take
25d10 points of damage. A Medium or smaller creature that
fails its first save must succeed on a second one or be picked
up bodily by the cyclone and held suspended in its powerful
winds, taking 25d10 points of damage each round on your
turn with no save allowed. You may direct the cyclone to
eject any carried creatures whenever you wish, depositing the
hapless souls wherever the cyclone happens to be when they
are released.

Fireball Sr. functions as delayed blast fireball. It can be
delayed for up to 5 rounds and, if handled within one round
of detonation there is a 25% chance that the globe detonates
while being handled. Upon detonation, this spell deals 1d12

When discharged, this charm makes any creature with whom

etc. Creatures are not entitled to a save if you keep within the
50% range, but for every 10% you remove yourself from this
range, the target receives a +4 bonus on a Will save to resist
being coerced by this charm. For instance, trying to haggle an

GOODTIME TELEPORT
Conjuration (Teleportation
Spellcraft DC: 68
Level: 13
Components: V, F
Casting Time: 5 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level
To Develop: 612,000 gp; 13 days; 24,480 XP. Seeds: legend
lore (DC 24), plane shift (DC 26), teleport (DC 22). Factors:
increase duration to 1 hour/level (+10 ad hoc), remove
possibility of error (+4 ad hoc), remove random distance
from target (+4 ad hoc), enable automatic transfer (+4 ad
hoc), make spell dismissible by caster (+2). Mitigating
Factors: change from touch to personal (-2), increase casting
time by +9 rounds (-18), increase casting time by +4 minutes
(-8), ceremonial clothes valued at no less than 5000 gp (-2).
This spell is the work of extravagant spellcasters who love a
good time really love it. During the five minute casting
time, the caster dresses in his chosen outfit and dictates what
he considers to be a good time what kind of party,
specifically. During the spell's duration, at any moment the
caster isn't in such an environment, the spell instantly probes
the universe (using the power of legend lore) to find a place
more suited to the caster's predeterminations and instantly
shunts him there with no chance of error.
The caster is given a moment's notice of the impending shift
and is allowed to prevent it without dismissing the spell. The
shunting effect can be held indefinitely by the caster in the
hopes that the current situation will come around or just long
enough for the caster to get the last word. In any case,
goodtime teleport can transport the caster all across the
universe, even across planar boundaries, in search of a good
time.
Focus: an expensive suit of clothes worth no less than 5000
gp.
GRIM'S BLACK BOLT
Necromancy
Spellcraft DC: 92
Level: 16
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (50 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Ray
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No
To Develop: 828,000 gp; 17 days; 33,120 XP. Seeds:
enervation (DC 20) ray of enfeeblement (DC 14). Factors:
increase range to Medium (+4), add +1d4 negative levels
(+4). Layered Effects: ignore SR (+50).
An impossibly dark ray crackles from your extended finger.
You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target.
The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+5 as
well as 2d4 negative levels. The subjects Strength score
cannot drop below 1. The penalty to Strength lasts for 1
minute per caster level.
There is no saving throw to avoid gaining the negative levels,
but 24 hours after gaining them, the subject must make a
Fortitude saving throw (DC = Grim's black bolt save DC) for
each negative level. If the save succeeds, that negative level
is removed. If it fails, the negative level also goes away, but
one of the subjects character levels is permanently drained.
An undead creature struck by the ray gains 2d45 temporary
hit points for 1 hour.

a ring of fire with a radius of up to 10 ft. per two levels;
either form 40 ft. high
Duration: Concentration + 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
To Develop: 1,980,000 gp; 40 days; 79,200 XP. Seeds:

by +100% (+4), increase size of wall by +100% (+4),
increase cold damage needed to put out 5-ft. sections by +80
(+80 ad hoc).
An immobile, blazing curtain of smoldering black fire springs
into existence. One side of the wall, selected by you, sends
forth waves of immense heat, dealing 10d8 points of fire
damage to creatures within 20 feet and 5d8 points of fire
damage to those past 20 feet but within 40 feet. The wall
deals this damage when it appears and on your turn each
round to all creatures in the area. In addition, the wall deals
10d10 points of fire damage +1 point of fire damage per
caster level (maximum +100) plus 5d4 negative levels to any
creature passing through it. If a subject has at least as many
negative levels as HD, it dies. Each negative level gives a
creature a -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill
checks, ability checks, and effective level (for determining
the power, duration, DC, and other details of spells or special
abilities). Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell
slot from his or her highest available level. Negative levels
stack.
There is no saving throw to avoid gaining the negative levels,
but 24 hours after gaining them, the subject must make a
Fortitude saving throw (DC = Grims black curtain save DC)
for each negative level. If the save succeeds, that negative
level is removed. If it fails, the negative level also goes away,
but one of the subjects character levels is permanently
drained. The wall deals no damage to undead creatures. An
undead creature passing through the wall gains 5d45
temporary hit points for 1 hour.
If you evoke the wall so that it appears where creatures are,
each creature takes damage as if passing through the wall.
If any 5-foot length of wall takes 100 points of cold damage
or more in 1 round, that length goes out. (Do not divide cold
damage by 4, as normal for objects.)

Area: Cylinder (60-ft. radius, 120 ft. high)
Duration: 1d4+1 full rounds
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
To Develop: 1,512,000 gp; 31 days; 60,480 XP. Seeds:

of cold damage to every creature in the area. A thick, oily
black rain also falls, and each living creature caught within it
suffers 3d4 negative levels.

spell's area gain 3d45 temporary hit points for 1 hour. A -10
penalty applies to each Listen check made within the spells
effect, and all land movement within its area is at half speed.

HALO OF THE HEAVENS
Abjuration [Good]
Spellcraft DC: 160

Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 40 ft.
Targets: One creature/level in a 40-ft.-radius burst centered
on you
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
To Develop: 1,440,000 gp; 29 days; 57,600 XP. Seed: holy
aura (DC 28). Factors: increase range by +100% (+4),
increase deflection bonus by +6 (+36), increase resistance
bonus by +6 (+36), increase SR by +15 (+60). Mitigating
Factors: a golden scepter worth 10,000 gp (-4).
A brilliant divine radiance surrounds the heads of the
subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them
resistance to spells cast by evil creatures, and causing evil
creatures to become blinded when they strike the subjects.
Like holy aura, this abjuration has four effects.
First, each warded creature gains a +10 deflection bonus to
AC and a +10 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection
from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just
against attacks by evil creatures.
Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 40
against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.
Third, the abjuration blocks possession and mental influence,
just as protection from evil does.
Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against
a warded creature, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude
save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against halo of the
heavens save DC).
Focus: A golden scepter that costs at least 10,000 gp.
HAND OF HRONMERE
Evocation [Fire, Force]
Spellcraft DC: 68

crushing hand (DC 30), fireball (DC 18). Factors: increase
fire damage by +10d6 (+20), increase fire damage dice by
one step (+10).
This spell acts as a crushing hand that deals 20d8 fire damage
each round to any who touch it, whether by being grappled or
by attacking the hand itself. The spell takes the form of a 10
ft. sphere of fire with lava-encrusted fingers and thumbs
jamming out from all angles.
HELLBALL
Evocation [Acid, Electricity, Fire, Sonic]
Spellcraft DC: 71
Level: 14

damage (-10).
A hellball deals 10d6 points of acid damage, 10d6 points of
fire damage, 10d6 points of electricity damage, and 10d6
points of sonic damage to all creatures within the area.
Unattended objects also take this damage. You point your
finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which
the hellball is to detonate. A sun-bright, fist-sized globe of
energy streaks forth and, unless it impacts a material body or
solid barrier prior to attaining the indicated range, expands
into its full area.
This spell is taxing on the body, dealing to caster 10d6 points
of backlash damage.
HELLFIRE RAIN

damage dealt by +6d6 (+12), increase damage die by one step
(+10), increase range to Long (+8), increase distance between

damage dealt is force damage (-12 ad hoc)
You blast your enemies with fiery rays. You may fire one
ray, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd
(to a maximum of twenty rays at 79th level). Each ray
requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 10d8 points of
damage, half of which is fire damage; the other half is force
damage and thereby not subject to fire resistance.
The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all
bolts must be aimed at targets within 90 feet of each other
and fired simultaneously.

To Develop: 360,000 gp; 8 days; 14,400 XP. Seed:
irresistible dance (DC 28). Factor: change target to 20-ft.-
radius (+12), switch V with S (+0).
This spell functions identically to irresistible dance with the
exception of the spell's area and number of targets.
The effect imposes a -4 penalty to Armor Class and a -10
penalty on Reflex saves, and it negates any AC bonus granted
by a shield the targets hold. The dancing subjects provoke
attacks of opportunity each round on their turns.

caster designates and acts immediately, on the casters turn. It
attacks the casters opponents to the best of its ability. If the
caster can communicate with the creature, he or she can
direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to
perform other actions. Summoned creatures act normally on
the last round of the spell and disappear at the end of their
turn.
This is the equivalent of a summon monster XVI spell.

bestow curse (DC 22), summon monster (DC 14). Factors:
Summon CR 25 hoary hunter and CR 9 steed (+100).
This cruel spell is more of a curse than a summon, affecting a
target creature that fails a Will save with an invisible sort of
mark. This mark is the signal of the hoary hunters, a powerful
fey spirit.
Each night that is cold and moonlit, a hoary hunter will come
for the target, attempting to overcome him in combat and
making off back to its realms with the victims soul bound
into its blade. A hoary hunter cannot be killed while on the
hunt, merely destroyed. It returns on the next night that is
both cold and moonlit with an increased force to continue the
hunt. The cycle repeats itself until either the target is
overwhelmed or five such nights have passed.
Moving to a warmer climate will only delay the inevitable.
The hoary hunters will wait for years until the opportune
night arises again and they can continue the hunt. Traveling
to another plane will not end the hunt either. The hoary
hunter and its companions can follow the target within an
hour and continue the hunt so long as there are cold and
moonlit nights.

round, he drops to 10 hit points and dies.
On the third round of exposure to the vacuum, a creature
must succeed on a Constitution check (DC 20) each round or
suffer from aeroembolism (the bends). A creature that fails
the save experiences excruciating pain as small air bubbles
form in its bloodstream; such a creature is considered stunned
and remains so until returned to normal atmospheric pressure.
A creature that fails the Constitution check by 5 or more falls
unconscious.
Finally any creature caught in the area of effect for at least 1
round must make a Fortitude save (DC 12) or contract mild
radiation sickness (Incubation: 1 day, 1d4-2 Con*). A
creature that survives for a day or more must make a
Fortitude save (DC 15) or contract low radiation sickness
(incubation 4d6 hours, DC 15, 1d6-2 Con*).

To Develop: 900,000 gp; 18 days; 36,000 XP. Seeds:
blindness/deafness (DC 16), enervate (DC 20), vampiric
touch (DC 18). Factors: add +2d4 negative levels (+8),
increase maximum damage drained by +40d6 (+40), increase
damage die by one step (+10), gain negative levels as
positive levels for 1 round per caster level (+8 ad hoc).
Mitigating Factors: suffer 10d6 points of backlash damage
(-10).
You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch
permanently blinds the victim on a failed Fortitude save and
deals 3d4 negative levels plus 1d8 points of damage per two
caster levels (maximum 50d8). There is no save for the latter
two effects. As with vampiric touch, you gain temporary hit
points equal to the damage you deal. However, you cant gain
more than the subjects current hit points plus their Con
score, which is enough to kill the subject. The temporary hit
points disappear 1 hour later.
Any negative levels dealt to the target are also absorbed by
the caster, benefiting him as an equal amount of positive
levels. This effect lasts for one round per caster level and
works regardless of whether the caster is living or undead.
Despite the boon this spell grants its caster, it is a taxing spell
to cast and deals 10d6 points of backlash damage.
OLYMPIAN BOLT

damage die two steps (+20). Mitigating Factors: 5d6
backlash damage (-5), gem with bound soul of a great wyrm
blue dragon (roughly 40,000 gp) as focus (-6)
This spell is favored by extravagant spellcasters capable of
showing off their powers. All creatures in the area must
succeed on a Reflex save or suffer 1d10 points of electricity
damage per caster level (max 60d10). This spell shocks the
caster's soul, synchronizing it for a split-second with the
focus of the spell and causing 5d6 points of backlash damage.
The Olympian bolt sets fire to combustibles and damages
objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting
point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze. If the
damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks
through it, the bolt may continue beyond the barrier if the
spell's range permits; otherwise, it stops at the barrier just as
any other spell effect does.

Mitigating Factors: burn 3000 XP (-30), secondary targets
save at +4 (ad hoc -4).
The target of this spell must succeed on a Fortitude save or
contract a terrible mutation of filth fever instantly. Those so
infected suffer 2d8 points of damage to both Constitution and
Dexterity and must succeed on three consecutive saving
throws to fight off the disease. Worse than a mere epidemic,
carriers of the pandemic leave behind a lingering trace of
their disease for 1 minute. Anyone coming within 20 feet of
where an infected has been in the past 1 minute runs the risk
of contamination and must succeed at a Fort save or contract
the same disease. Symptoms of the illness are a swelling of
the glands, high fever, vomiting, and severe dysentery.

Increase casting time by +9 minutes (-18)
Ranged attacks targeted against the caster rebound on the
original attacker. Any time during the duration, ten attacks
are automatically reflected back on the original attacker; the
caster decides which attacks before damage is rolled. The
reflected attack rebounds on the attacker using the same
attack roll. Once ten attacks are so reflected, the spell ends.

increase area by +100% (+4), increase poison damage die one
step (+10). Mitigating Factors: burn 1000 XP (-10)
This spell is a nightmare on the battlefield, creating an
immobile wall of whirling green blades made from pure
force. Any creature passing through the wall takes 1d8 points
of force damage per caster level (max 35d8), with a Reflex
save for half damage.
If you evoke the barrier so that it appears where creatures are,
each creature takes damage as if passing through the wall.
Each such creature can avoid the wall (ending up on the side
of its choice) and thus take no damage by making a
successful Reflex save.
Anyone damage by the blades must pass an additional
Fortitude save or suffer 1d12 points of Constitution damage.
An additional save is required 1 minute later to avoid another
1d12 points of Constitution damage.

cone area (+12), increase damage dice by +5d6 (+10),
increase damage dice by one step (+10).
This spell is named after the squishing sound made when
numerous targets perish noisily by its effect. This spell
instantly slays those within the area and consumes their
remains (but not their equipment and possessions) utterly in a
gory, bloody fashion. If a target's Fortitude saving throw
succeeds, it instead takes 15d8 points of damage. The only
way to restore life to a character who has failed to save
against this spell is to use true resurrection, a carefully
worded wish spell followed by resurrection, or miracle.

spell by directing her attention at the target creature and
shouting "NO!"
Whatever action that creature was about to take is instantly

This spell summons forth a walking apocalypse - a

where the caster designates and acts immediately, on the
casters turn. It attacks the casters opponents to the best of
its ability. If the caster can communicate with the creature, he
or she can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies,
or to perform other actions. Summoned creatures act
normally on the last round of the spell and disappear at the
end of their turn. Only mad spellcasters develop and use this
atrocity, as it benefits almost nothing save the desire for
destruction and mayhem.
This is the equivalent of a summon monster XXV spell.

When a caster casts this spell, he or she is temporarily able to
take control of another sentient creature with whom the caster
is familiar (by meeting, observing, or successfully scrying the
subject). The target receives a Will save, and if successful,
prevents the caster from making the telepathic connection.
The target is aware of the attempted takeover as a strange,
momentary tingling. If the Will save fails, the caster is able to
control the subjects body as if it were his or her own,
hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, and tasting everything the
target senses. Once the caster dismisses the spell or its
duration ends, the target resumes control of its body, fully
aware of all events that occurred, having been a helpless
witness trapped inside its own body. The target knows the
name and general nature of its possessor if it succeeds at an
additional Will saving throw. A caster cannot control undead
or incorporeal creatures with soul dominion.

attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other
actions. Summoned creatures act normally on the last round
of the spell and disappear at the end of their turn.
This is the equivalent of a summon monster XVI spell.
SUPREME MISSILE
Evocation [Force]
Spellcraft DC: 103
Level: 17
Range: Extreme (1000 ft. + 100 ft./level)
Targets: Up to forty creatures, no two of which can be more
than 75 ft. apart
To Develop: 927,000 gp; 19 days; 37,080 XP. Seed: magic
missile (DC 14). Factors: increase range to Extreme (+8),
increase maximum number of missiles by +35 (+35 ad hoc),
increase damage die by three steps (+30), increase space
between targets by +400% (+16 ad hoc).
As magic missile except as noted above. Each missile deals
1d10+1 points of damage.
For every two caster levels beyond 1st, you gain an additional
missile to a maximum of forty missiles at 79th level or higher.
SUREWARD
Abjuration
Spellcraft DC: 124
Level: 19
To Develop: 1,116,000 gp; 23 days; 44,640 XP. Seed:
greater globe of invulnerability (DC 24). Factor: increase
spell levels warded by +5 (+100).
This spell functions like lesser globe of invulnerability,
except that it excludes up to 9th-level spells and spell-like
effects.
You may use Heighten Spell on sureward, with every two
additional spell levels increasing the warded spell level by
+1.
THE WAY
Universal
Spellcraft DC: 112
Level: 18
Components: V, XP
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: See text
Target, Effect, or Area: See text
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: Yes
To Develop: 1,008,000 gp; 21 days; 40,320 XP. Seed:
miracle or wish (DC 30). Factors: duplicate spells of 11
levels higher (+110 ad hoc), increase nonmagical item value
limit by +300% (+30 ad hoc), increase number of creatures
aided by +900% (+36 ad hoc), increase the number of
afflictions removed by +300% (+30 ad hoc), restores level or
Con loss from death and resurrection (+50 ad hoc), increase
number of creatures transported by +900% (+36 ad hoc),
undo one round (+40 ad hoc). Mitigating Factors: burn
25,000 XP (-250)
The way is by far one of the mightiest spells anyone can cast.
By simply speaking aloud, you can alter reality to better suit
you.
Even such unbridled power, however, has its limits.
The way can produce any one of the following effects.
Duplicate any spell of 17th level or lower, provided the
spell is not of a school prohibited to you.
 Duplicate any spell of 16th level or lower even if its of a
prohibited school.
Undo the harmful effects of many other spells, such as
geas/quest or insanity.
Create a nonmagical item of up to 100,000 gp in value.
Create a magic item, or add to the powers of an existing
magic item.
Grant a creature a full +5 inherent bonus to an ability
score.
Remove injuries and afflictions. A single casting of the
way can aid ten creatures per caster level, and all subjects are
cured of up to four kinds of affliction. For example, you
could heal all the damage you and your companions have
taken, remove all poison effects from everyone in the party,
clear all negative levels amongst the party, and remove any
charms or compulsions all with a single casting. Unlike
miracle and wish, the way can restore the level or
Constitution loss from being raised from the dead.
Revive the dead. The way can bring a dead creature back
to life by duplicating a true resurrection spell. The way
cannot prevent a character that was brought back to life from
losing an experience level, though an additional casting can
restore the lost level.
Transport travelers. The way can lift ten creatures per
caster level from anywhere on any plane and place those
creatures anywhere else on any plane regardless of local
conditions. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the
effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.
Undo misfortune. The way can undo a single recent
event. The spell forces everyone to relive the last round.
Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result, though
the caster can never undo his own casting of the way. An
unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and
spell resistance (if any) applies.
You may try to use the way to produce greater effects than
these, but doing so is dangerous. (The spell may pervert your
intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a
partial fulfillment.)
Duplicated spells allow saves and spell resistance as normal
(but save DCs are for 18th-level spells).
Material Component: When the way duplicates a spell with a
material component that costs more than 10,000 gp, you must
provide that component.
XP Cost: The minimum XP cost for casting the way is 25,000
XP. When the way duplicates a spell that has an XP cost, you
must pay 25,000 XP or that cost, whichever is more. When
this spell creates or improves a magic item, you must pay
twice the normal XP cost for crafting or improving the item,
plus an additional 25,000 XP.
TIME DUPLICATE
Transmutation [Teleportation]
Spellcraft DC: 61
Level: 13
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 free action
Effect: You
Duration: 1 round (see text)
Saving Throw: None (harmless)
Spell Resistance: None (harmless)
To Develop: 549,000 gp; 11 days; 21,960 XP; Quicken
Spell. Seed: transport (to move future you back in time 1
round) (DC 27). Factors: move to time stream (+8 DC),
stretch the base temporal effect (ad hoc +8 DC), quickened
(+28 DC). Mitigating Factors: suffer 10d6 backlash damage
(-10 DC)
The caster snatches him or her self from 1 round in the future,
depositing this future self in an adjacent space as a swift
action. The casters future self is technically only a possible
future self (the time stream is a maelstrom of multiple
probabilities), but snatching that future self from 1 round in
the future collapses probability, and the possible future
becomes the definite future. The caster and his or her future
self are both free to act normally this round (the caster has
already used up the limit of one quickened spell per round,
but his or her duplicate hasnt). The future self has all the
resources the caster has at the moment he or she finishes
casting time duplicate. Because the future self was previously
only a possibility, his or her resources are not depleted as a
result of whatever might occur this round (even if the caster
dies this round). Likewise, he or she doesnt have any special
knowledge of what might occur during this round. Because
the future self is still part of the time stream, the round it
spends with the caster is a round it misses in its own future.
Because the characters future duplicate is also the caster, the
caster misses the next round as well. He or she simply isnt
there. Tampering with the time stream is a tricky business.
Here is a round-by-round summary.
Round One: The caster casts time duplicate, the future self
from round two arrives, and both act normally.
Round Two: The future selfthe castergets snatched back
in time to help the past self. During this round, there are no
versions of the caster present.
Round Three: The caster rejoins the time stream. The caster
arrives in the same location and condition that the future self
ended with at the end of the first round. Any resources
(spells, damage, staff charges) the future self used up in
round one are gone for real. Record them now. Using this
spell to snatch a single future self stretches time and
probability to its limit; more powerful versions of time
duplicate are not possible. A caster cannot bring more than a
single future version of him or her self back at one time, nor
can a caster snatch a version of him or her from farther in the
future.
TIME STOP, MASS
Transmutation
Spellcraft DC: 59
Level: 12
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 300 ft.
Targets: You and one other willing creature
Duration: 1d4+1 rounds
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
To Develop: 531,000 gp; 13 days; 21,240 XP. Seed: time
stop (DC 30). Factor: change from personal to area (+15),
change area to target (+4), add one additional target within
300 ft. (+10).
This spell functions identically to time stop with the addition
that the caster may designate one additional creature within
300 feet to also gain the benefit of the spell. The caster makes
one roll for himself and the creature, and both speed up at the
same 'rate', and may interact normally 'during' the spell.
The caster may use Heighten Spell on mass time stop, each
level allowing the caster to designate an additional target
within 300 feet. The caster may not designate a number of
creatures greater than his caster level.
TRANSMOGRIFY

shapechange (DC 30). Factor: increase duration by +500%

TRUE GOSPEL
Evocation [Good, Sonic]
Spellcraft DC: 80
Level: 15
Range: 80 ft.

word (DC 26). Factors: increase area by +100% (+4).
Layered Effects: ignore SR (+50).
To Develop: 1,800,000 gp; 36 days; 72,000 XP. Seed:
irresistible dance (DC 28). Factor: change target to 20-ft.-
radius (+12), permanent (x5).
This spell functions identically to irresistible dance with the
exception of the spell's area, duration, and number of targets.
The effect imposes a -4 penalty to Armor Class and a -10
penalty on Reflex saves, and it negates any AC bonus granted
by a shield the targets hold. The dancing subjects provoke
attacks of opportunity each round on their turns. Eventually,
fatigue and malnutrition will kill the subjects of this spell.
VERDIGRIS
Transmutation
Spellcraft DC: 40

Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 100-ft.-radius hemisphere
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: No
To Develop: 360,000 gp; 8 days; 14,400 XP. Seed: plant
growth (DC 20). Factors: deal 10d6 damage during growth
(+20 ad hoc)
This spell creates a tsunami of grass, shrubs, and trees that
overgrows the area like a tidal wave. The plant growth creeps
and curls across everything in the area, ensnaring it and
coiling around it as if it had been growing there for a century
or more.
Creatures in the area must make a Reflex saving throw to
avoid the fast-moving growth, which otherwise deals 10d6
points of bludgeoning damage from the crushing press.
Buildings are engulfed and they likewise take 10d6 points of
damage. Those destroyed by the damage have their
foundations uprooted and walls crumbled. Speed drops to 5
feet, or 10 feet for Large or larger creatures. The area must
have brush and trees in it for this spell to take effect. You
may designate places within the area that are not affected.

As holy word, except as noted above. VERDIGRIS TSUNAMI

This potent magic allows the caster to designate one weapon
within range, to which he has line of sight, and enhance that
weapon with the vorpal weapon enchantment. This effect
lasts for 1 round per caster level.
The caster may use Heighten Spell on vorpal weapons, each
level allowing the caster to designate an additional target
within range. The caster may not designate a number of
creatures greater than his caster level.
