need not be consecutive rounds.
Type: Wondrous Item (magic); Caster Level: 5th; Purchase DC: 34; Weight: 1 lb.

archmagi provides the following benefits to its wearer.

orichalcum threaded brocade, aiguillettes, and runes embroidered along the edges. Powerful and
ancient magics are weaved into these robes, providing great protection and facilitating the wearer's
ability to cast incantations. The robes provide the following benefits to the wearer:

The Eye of Odin

This heavy medallion is of a closed eye with Norse runes encircling it. When worn, The Eye of Odin
protects the wearer as if under a continuous Nondetection spell. Furthermore, the Eye can be
commanded to open. This nullifies the Nondetection effect for as long as it's open, but allows the
wearer to see as if under the effects of a True Seeing spell. Commanding the Eye to close ends the True
Seeing effect and initiates the Nondetection effect.
Type: Artifact (magic); Caster Level: 10th; Purchase DC: 60; Weight: 1 lb.

New Incantations
Baltazar's Clypeus
Abjuration
Skill Check: Knowledge (Arcane Lore) DC: 30, 12 successes; Failure: 2 consecutive failed skill checks;
Components: V, S, M, XP; Casting Time: 12 hours (minimum); Range: Touch; Target: Willing creature
touched; Duration: Permanent; Saving Throw: None; Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
Factors: Ward Seed (+30), nullify one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th level spell (+12), increase duration from
hours to days (+6), increase duration from days to permanent (+10); Mitigating Factors: Increase Casting
Time to 12 hours (-12), XP Cost: 1,000 (-10), Expensive Material Component: Purchase DC 30 (-4), Caster
is exhausted (-2).
This incantation weaves together a network of abjuration magic that permanently protects the target
from a single 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th level spell, chosen at the time the incantation is performed. The
caster of this incantation must also be able to cast the spells to be protected against. If the spells target
the warded person, those spells simply do not manifest. If the spells have an area effect, the space the
warded person occupies is unaffected (for example, a Fireball's blast warps around the warded person,
but affects the rest of the area normally). If a spell has an area effect that persists (for example, Web),
the warded person is able to move through the affected area without consequence, as if the spell effect
simply doesn't exist for the warded person. The caster becomes exhausted for 24 hours after completing
the incantation.
Failure: The caster is deluded and believes the incantation worked as intended, but the incantation
provides no actual protection against the chosen spells.
Material Component: Miniature of the target made from solid gold and encrusted with gems (Purchase
DC 30).
XP Cost: 1,000

This incantation conjures forth ten non-magical swordcanes that surround the caster in a circling motion.

waiting. Each swordcane attacks with the caster's base attack bonus, and can only attack once per
round.
Failure: The conjured blades attack the caster instead.
Focus: Baltazar's dancing & defending +3 swordcane.

Epic Feats
Enhance Spell [Metamagic][Epic]
Prerequisite: Maximize Spell.
Benefit
The damage cap for your spells increases by 10 dice (for spells that deal a number of dice of damage
equal to caster level) or by 5 dice (for spells that deal a number of dice of damage equal to half caster
level). An enhanced spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level. This feat has
no effect on spells that don’t specifically deal a number of dice of damage equal to the caster’s level or
half level, even if the spell’s effect is largely dictated by the caster’s level.
Normal
Without this feat, use the damage dice caps indicated in the spell’s description.
Special
You may gain this feat multiple times. Each time you select this feat, the damage cap increases by 10 dice
or 5 dice, as appropriate to the spell, and the enhanced spell takes up a spell slot an additional four
levels higher.

SELU'TAAR (HIGH MAGE)

There are archmages, and then there's the selu'taar of the elves, or more commonly known, high mages.
These elven masters of magic have spent centuries dedicated to learning their craft and can weave magic
in ways lesser archmages can only dream. They are especially adroit at complex incantations, able to
master certain rituals to such a degree that they can perform them with little effort.

Requirements
To qualify to become a selu'taar, a character must fulfill the following criteria
Skills: Knowledge (arcane lore) 20 ranks, Concentration 20 ranks.
Special: Ability to cast 5th level arcane spells. Know at least three incantations, including at least
one custom incantation made by the character. An elf selu'taar is known as a high mage, while a human
selu'taar is known as a grand magus.
Class Information
Hit Die
Selu'taar gain 1d6 hit points per level. The character's Constitution modifier applies.
Action Points
Selu'taar gain a number of action points equal to 7 plus one-half their character level, rounded down,
every time they advance a level in this class.
Class Skills
The Selu'taar's class skills are as follows: Computer Use (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (chemical,
electronic, mechanical, pharmaceutical) (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Demolition (Int), Disable Device (Int),
Investigate (Int), Knowledge (arcane lore, art, behavioral sciences, business, civics, current events, earth
and life sciences, history, physical sciences, popular culture, streetwise, technology, theology and
philosophy) (Int), Profession (Wis), Read/Write Language (none), Repair (Int), Research (Int), Speak
Language (none), Spellcraft (Int).
Skill Points at Each Level: 7+Intelligence modifier.
Class Features
The following pertain to the Selu'taar prestige class.

Incantation Mastery
Starting at 1st level, the Selu'taar chooses a single Incantation to master. From now on, he recieves a
competence bonus to all skill checks for casting that incantation equal to his Selu'taar class level +
Charisma modifier. For each additional level of Selu'taar, choose another incantation to master.

Incantation Efficiency
At 2nd level, the Selu'taar decreases the casting time of incantations he has mastered by 50%, rounded
up. This does not decrease the number of skill checks necessary to cast an incantation.

Incantation Preparation
At 3rd level, the Selu'taar can prepare any single incantation that he has mastered, just like a normal
spell. To prepare an incantation in this manner the Selu'taar must perform the incantation as normal,
expending the time, resources, and XP accordingly. The effect is then suspended in a magical matrix
around the caster. If the incantation requires a target, the Selu'taar must choose the target at the time
of preparation. However, the Selu'taar can later change the target by expending an Action Point. A
prepared Incantation lasts for 24 hours. If it hasn't been cast within that time limit, the preparation is
lost.

High Arcana
At each level the selu'taar gains the opportunity to select a special ability from among those described
below by permanently eliminating one existing spell slot. A selu'taar may choose to eliminate a spell slot
of a higher level than that required to gain a type of high arcana.

Arcane Fire (Su)

The selu'taar gains the ability to change arcane spell energy into arcane fire, manifesting it
as a bolt of raw magical energy. The bolt is a ranged touch attack with long range (400 feet + 40
feet/level of selu'taar) that deals 1d6 points of damage per class level of the selu'taar plus 1d6
points of damage per level of the spell used to create the effect. This ability costs one 5th-level spell
slot.

Reach Spell
The selu'taar can use spells with a range of touch on a target up to 30 feet away. The
selu'taar must make a ranged touch attack. This ability costs one 3rd-level spell slot.

Improved Counterspelling
When counterspelling, the selu'taar may use a spell of the same school that is the same
level or higher than the target spell. This ability costs one 3rd-level spell slot.

Mastery of Elements
The selu'taar can alter an arcane spell when cast so that it utilizes a different element from
the one it normally uses. This ability can only alter a spell with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic
descriptor. The spell’s casting time is unaffected. The caster decides whether to alter the spell’s
energy type and chooses the new energy type when he begins casting. This ability costs one 4th-level
spell slot.

Mastery of Shaping
The selu'taar can alter area and effect spells that use one of the following shapes: burst,
cone, cylinder, emanation, or spread. The alteration consists of creating spaces within the spell’s area
or effect that are not subject to the spell. The minimum dimension for these spaces is a 5-foot cube.
Furthermore, any shapeable spells have a minimum dimension of 5 feet instead of 10 feet. This ability
costs one 2nd-level spell slot.

Spell Power
This ability increases the saving throw DC of the selu'taar's spells by +1. This ability costs
one 1st-level spell slot.
