Societ#= -ach aara%ocra tribe is led by a chieftain and a shaman, who is almost always a cleric of Air. Most important occasions in aara%ocra life, such as the ascension of a chieftain or a child's rite of passage, are sanctified by summoning an air elemental and receiving its blessing. Aara%ocra chieftains must win their position through some feat of great s%ill which benefits the tribe; no aara%ocra views simple combat prowess as a true sign of e!cellence. 9f an aara%ocra believes that the chief is leading the tribe poorly, he must both argue his case and perform a deed to match the one which earned the chief his position. 8imilarly, each shaman trains several apprentices, who are e!pected to compete for primacy within the tribe.

-lves view life as an opportunity for e!citement and pleasure, ma%ing them perhaps the greatest optimists on Athas. They roam the Athasian wastelands in nomadic tribes, always on the loo%out for an angle 7 an item of value, a reason to laugh, or >ust a chance to do something new and interesting. -lves prefer a short life of surprise and adventure to a long, dull e!istence. "ther races believe elves to be la4y and dishonest, which is true so far as it goes. -lves are notorious thieves, with no respect for any property that is not their own, and they prefer to avoid labor whenever possible. They would say, however, that leisure is a privilege and a sign of their own magnificence. "h#sical $escription= -lves are much taller than humans, but their thin and graceful forms give an impression of speed rather than ponderous bul%. -ven the strongest elf shows scarcely any muscle in his wiry frame. -lves tend toward a tanned comple!ion even when living out of the sun. Their ears come to long points, and combined with their slanting features ma%e them seem very e!otic an desirable. Homeland= -lves would say that the entire waste is -lven land, but most tribes show little interest in enforcing such claims. There are no %nown elven villages, and apart from the few elves who ta%e up permanent residence in the city/states, no claims of elven communities outside of the tribes. Societ#= -lven culture is based around the ideal of tribal unity. Any true elf would ma%e great sacrifices to benefit his tribe; selfishness is one of the greatest
sins among elves. All members of the tribe are e!pected to contribute, and to %eep up. Any elf who cannot run with the tribe is left to find his own way. -lves spurn the use of mounts for transport, believing that riding a beast is a sign of degeneracy. Relations= -lves prefer the company of their tribe and their personal friends whenever possible. They view strangers as enemies, mar%s, or both, so elves loo% for anything which might give them an edge. -lves always attempt to con, cheat, or steal from other races when given a chance, though if hostility brea%s out, they usually prefer flight to violence. 9f an elf believes that someone might be a worthy friend, he will arrange tests of loyalty to determine if that person would be willing to ta%e ris%s and ma%e sacrifices for him. "nce gained, an elf's trust is unsha%able. Ad%enturers= All elves are afflicted by curiosity and wanderlust, ma%ing them natural adventurers. Most choose to %eep their tribal affiliations, so that they may boast of their accomplishments when they return. Adventuring elves are e!pected to allow their chieftain periodic choice from their spoils; those who hold out are seen as disloyal and selfish. &aming) -lven children remain nameless until they are strong enough to %eep up with the tribe, usually around four years old. At this time, the child is taught to run in the elven fashion, and named after the first interesting thing it does during the training. All elven names have meaning, and an elf's name is believed to reveal his true nature and his destiny. &ames) 2otuu C$ater Bunner, Du%%oti C$ind ighter, -%ee C$ild Dancer, obuu Cirst Bunner, 8haanto Cire eaper, Traa%o CMetal 8tealer.

oliaths are a race of mountain/dwelling humanoids who live in the mountains of the Dead ands, south of the Tyr Falley. Their history tells of an ancient >ourney through the wrec%age of a dying land, which ended when they found their current home of #alatargasha, the Mountain That ives. Today, goliaths must e%e out their survival in the harsh obsidian wastes. oliaths have a deep/seated love of competition, %eeping score as a way of measuring their prowess compared to that of their companions. They believe strongly in the value of rules and fair play, and disapprove of cheating in any situation. #owever, they also value fitness above all other traits; goliaths have no sympathy for those who can't pull their own weight. "h#sical $escription= Most goliaths stand at least a head above any humans they meet, though they are still shorter than elves. #owever, the average goliath is half as wide as he is tall, and very muscular besides. oliaths have tough grey s%in, mottled with dar%er patches that form rippling patterns. Their faces are heavy/set, with a >utting eyebrow ridge and wide >aw. oliaths do not grow hair as such, but thin, fu44y organic growths similar to lichen sprout all over the upper bodies of both male and female goliaths. Homeland= The only goliath communities e!ist in the Dead ands, deep inside the trac%less obsidian wastes. A few goliaths have traveled to the Tyr Falley, but none have revealed the location of their home. Societ#= oliath society is deeply structured, guided by an intricate code of etiEuette called
Faimaranta%%a Coy the company of their friends and relatives. The natural goliath love of competition is channeled into specific outlets by the precepts of Faimaranta%%a, with the conseEuence that even a simple game or sport can become a contest for dominance between clans. Relations= oliaths are aware of the civili4ation of the Tyr Falley, and fear for their freedom from the rapacious sorcerer/monarchs. #owever, goliaths hold the only %nown adamantine mine in Athas, granting them the trading leverage to obtain wor%ed wood and other goods that they cannot produce themselves. Ad%enturers= Most goliaths find the struggle for survival in their obsidian hell to be adventure enough. Those who leave the Dead ands are usually outcasts from their clan, though >ust as many are e!iled for political e!pediency as for actual crimes. Honori!ics) Adult goliaths, once they have completed their rite of passage, receive an honorific name which highlights their greatest s%ill or deed. An honorific might change several times during each goliath's life to reflect new accomplishments. Male &ames= Au%an, -glath, autha%, 9li%an, @eothi, o/@ar, Maveith, Meavoi, Thotham, Fima%.

Those few e!plorers from the Tablelands who travel the Binging Mountains return with fantastic stories of a lush >ungle in the mountain heights. They also bring tales of the terrible dangers of the forest 7 ferocious beasts, deadly plants, and worst of all, tiny children who fight li%e demons. These are not children in truth, though halflings may appear to be human toddlers to the untrained eye. #alflings have had little contact with the people of the Tyr Falley, in part due to the dangers of the impassable mountains between them. More importantly, however, halflings are deeply !enophobic and see other races primarily as potential dinners. They are not true cannibals as some would claim, for no halfling would ever eat another halfling, but they are e!tremely predatory and do not see sentience as a relevant consideration in choosing their meals. #owever, halflings are also a deeply mystical people with strong ties to the land. They believe that they are the guardians of the most fertile land on all of Athas, and will ta%e any measure to protect their forest home from the depredations of lowlanders. "h#sical $escription= #alflings stand barely more than three feet high, but ma%e up for their si4e with an incredible ferocity.

#umans possess a drive to e!pand and control unmatched by any other race on Athas.

Most humans don't vocali4e this sense of superiority, but it colors all relationships with non/human races.

2orn from the unli%ely mi!ture of dwarf and human blood, muls combine the si4e and adaptable nature of humanity with the strength and resilience of dwarves. The whole is far greater than the sum of its parts; muls are tireless wor%ers who can toil or fight for hours without respite. Gnfortunately, this fact has been noted by human slave breeders, for muls are not easily born. #umans and dwarves do not share the interspecies fertility and attraction that gives rise to half/elves, meaning that even conception ta%es months. $orse, muls are unnatural children who can severely in>ure the mother. More often than not, an!ious overseers will save a mul child by cutting it from the body of its dying mother. Muls themselves are sterile, and cannot create more of their own %ind. 2ut despite the costs and trauma of mul breeding, it is still very common, for the sheer physical prowess of muls ma%es them ideal gladiators, the most valuable sort of slave. "h#sical $escription= 8econd only to half/giants, muls are the strongest of the common humanoid races of the Tablelands. Muls can grow as tall as seven feet, and both men and women are thic%ly muscled and broad shouldered. i%e dwarves, muls do not grow body hair of any sort, and their s%in tends toward dar% shades. Their faces ta%e after those of humans, e!cept for their ears, which are slanted and pressed close to their heads. ?early all muls have tattoos over most of their torso which identify their owner and their s%ills. These tattoos are e!cruciating to remove. Homeland= Muls have no homes e!cept those given to them by their human masters. Most slave
tribes include at least one or two escaped muls. Societ#= 2etween their birth into slavery and their inability to bear children, muls have almost no sense of racial identity. They are Euite literally incapable of forming a real culture without progeny to inherit that culture. #owever, muls can reasonably be said to understand the culture of slavery better than any other race. Their sheer value and their ability to ignore physical pain ma%e muls well able to survive life in the slave pits. Muls learn from their mista%es better than other slaves, not because they are more clever, but because they tend to survive those mista%es. Muls learn to manipulate their masters and fellow slaves ali%e, and often become the most popular slaves. Relations= Muls are remar%ably free of racial pre>udice. They disli%e their masters, but meet enough enslaved humans that they do not associate slavery with humanity as so many other races do. $ith their bac%ground as gladiators, muls assume that most people that they meet are strong and dangerous Cthough not as dangerous as themselves. 8ome escaped muls are surprised to learn that not all beings are trained in weaponry and combat from infancy. ree muls must constantly watch their acEuaintances, for slaver bands have found captured muls to be e!tremely profitable commodities. Ad%enturers= Most muls long for freedom from their captivity, and once they have escaped, they find that adventuring is one of the safest and most lucrative professions available. &ames) As a slave race, muls are normally given human names. 8ome are only given titles, to better indoctrinate them to their destiny in the arena. reed muls often choose new names to signify liberty, which are generally traditional dwarven names.

1terran history/chants tell that once, the pterrans were a race of simple hunter/gatherers, living in peaceful coe!istence with their environment. Most pterrans are too respectful to doubt their loremasters, but they find it difficult to believe that their perspective was ever so limited, or their race so wea%. 9n the intervening years, the pterrans encountered a terrible enemy who sub>ugated their whole species as slaves and food sources. A century of brutal guerilla warfare defeated this enemy, but left the pterrans permanently changed. All pterrans are trained in tactics and strategy from a young age; they instinctively assess their surroundings for ambush points and defensive positions, and approach challenges with calm, rational planning. 1terrans believe in conserving their energy for survival, and usually attempt to solve problems with diplomacy or subterfuge before resorting to force. #owever, as soon as a pterran decides that only violence can resolve his difficulties, he will attac% with relentless ferocity and e!pect others to do the same.

Fiolence among pterrans is strictly prohibited by law and custom, which has made most pterrans adept negotiators. 9ntractable disputes are resolved by psionic mediators, who have absolute authority to render >udgments.

A st level character starting as a templar priest is assumed to have already accomplished these tas%s.

This does not affect his ability to manifest those powers.
A discipline is one of si! groupings of powers, each defined by a common theme. The si! disciplines are clairsentience, metacreativity, psycho%inesis, psychometabolism, psychoportation, and telepathy. -ach discipline offers its specialists additional class s%ills, a uniEue talent, a special ability, and a list of restricted powers that only members of that discipline can learn.

A wilder %nows two different psychic aspects at st level, chosen from the list below. At 0th level, th level, and 0th level, she can learn an additional aspect. ild Surge 6Su9) A wilder can let her passion and emotion rise to the surface in a wild surge when she manifests a power. During a wilder surge, a wilder gains phenomenal psionic strength, but may harm herself by the rec%less use of her power. A wilder can choose to invo%e a wild surge whenever she manifests a power. $hen she does so, she gains to her manifester level for that power, and bonus points eEual to the manifester level bonus. These power points can only be used to augment that power, and are lost if not used immediately. The manifester level boost gives her the ability to augment her powers to a higher degree than she otherwise could. A wilder cannot use the "verchannel feat in con>unction with her wild surge. At (rd level, a wilder can choose to boost her manifester level by + instead of , and by a further for every four wilder levels thereafter. 8he does not need to use the strongest boost if she does not wish to; an th level wilder Cma!imum wild surge ) can surge for + manifester levels freely. A wild surge represents a dangerous burst of energy, which can easily harm the wilder. 9mmediately following a wild surge Cafter the power has manifested, a wilder may be overcome by psychic enervation. The chance of suffering psychic enervation is 0 per manifester level added with the wild surge. A wilder affected by psychic enervation is da4ed until the end of her ne!t turn and loses a number of power points eEual to her wilder level. Surging 0uphoria 60x9) 8tarting at +nd level, when a wilder uses her wild surge ability, she gains a morale bonus to all attac% rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws for a number of rounds eEual to the manifester level boost of the wild surge. A wilder who is overcome by psychic enervation does not gain this bonus. At 5th level, and every five wilder levels thereafter, this bonus increases by . Volatile Mind 60x9) A wilder's temperamental mind is hard to manipulate. $hen any telepathy power is manifested on a wilder of 0 th level or higher, the manifester must pay power point more than he would otherwise have spent. This e!tra cost cannot be used to augment the power; it is simply a wasted
power point. 1ower points that can only be used for augmentation cannot be used for this purpose. The manifester still cannot e!ceed the normal limits on how many power points he may spend at once; if this ability would raise the cost past that limit, the power fails and the power points spent on it are lost. 8imilarly, if the manifester does not have enough power points in his reserve to pay the e!tra cost, the power fails and the power points spent on it are lost. The additional cost increases by power point for every four wilder levels earned past 0 th , to a ma!imum of ) e!tra points at 5 th level. As a swift action, a wilder can choose to lower this effect for round Cfor instance, to allow an ally to manifest a beneficial telepathy power on her. Rapid $ispla#) At &th level, a wilder becomes able to Euic%ly display or change her psychic aspect. A number of times each day eEual to her 3harisma modifier, she may change her psychic aspect as a full/ round action. At ) th level, she can instead change her aspect as a standard action. At +th level, she can use this ability to switch aspects as a swift action. Resist 0ner%ation) At th level, a wilder can reduce the effects of psychic enervation by redirecting the energy into her aspect. 9f she does so, she suffers no ill effects from the enervation, but her aspect is suppressed for one round per manifester level gained from the wild surge. 8he cannot wild surge until she regains her aspect, and she still does not gain the benefits of surging euphoria. $iminished 0ner%ation) At 6th level, a wilder affected by psychic enervation is staggered for one round instead of da4ed. $ual,Aspect Mind) 8tarting at + th level, the wilder becomes a perfect master of her internal chaos. 8he can display two psychic aspects at once, and gain the benefits of both. 9f she uses resist enervation to avoid the harmful effects of psychic enervation, only one aspect of her choice is suppressed, and she can continue to use wild surge as long as at least one aspect is active.
A wilder's signature is her ability to display psychic aspects, towering emotional pro>ections which empower her with the ability to channel powerful emotions into nearby creatures.

Aspect S/ill 6Su9) -ach aspect is associated with a s%ill. A wilder gains a + bonus to the aspect s%ill associated with the aspect that she is displaying. This bonus increases by for every five wilder levels. This bonus does not stac% with itself. Surging "ro5ection 6Su9) $hen a wilder uses wild surge, she can choose to release a wave of emotion as well. The surging pro>ection occurs even if the wilder suffers from psychic enervation from the wild surge. Gnless otherwise noted, a surging pro>ection affects either all allies or all enemies within 0 feet per modified manifester level of the wilder. 9f the pro>ection calls for a saving throw, it is a $ill save CD3 wilder's 3harisma modifier. ;ranted Abilities) -ach aspect grants one or more special abilities that can only be used while displaying that aspect. 9f a granted ability specifies a limited number of daily uses, those uses do not reset when the wilder changes aspects. Aspect "o.ers) $hile displaying an aspect, a wilder gains access to a specific set of powers associated with that aspect. 8he can manifest these powers as if she %new them normally.

At his core, the assassin is an artisan, and his medium is death. Trained in a variety of %illing techniEues, assassins are feared and respected. Athasian assassins are notorious as s%illed poisoners, and the number of bards that fill the ran%s of the assassins does little to reduce this reputation. 8ome people become assassins with good intentions, see%ing to correct a terrible evil or avenge a past wrong. #owever, assassins must ma%e their living as hired %illers, and the good/at/ heart inevitably flee the profession or grow callous to the brutality that they employ.

#ealer adepts are mages who use their magical talents to restore life to the land. A healer adept believes that when magic has twisted and damaged the land, only magic has the power to restore that land to health. They match their arcane prowess with a druid's connection with the spirits of the land to channel their own life/energy into healing the scorched ecosystem. Gnli%e defilers, who steal from the land, and preservers, who merely attempt to balance the power they ta%e, a healer adept repays the land with more energy than he draws away. This drains their own life energy, wea%ening their health and shortening their lives. #owever, most healer adepts consider this a reasonable price to pay for the restoration of the land that they protect. uali!ications) "nly a character who is both a wi4ard and a druid can reasonably become a healer adept. 9t is theoretically possible for a high/level rangerIwi4ard to become a healer adept, but they gain little from the healer adept's s%ills.

To become a healer adept, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria. S/ills= @nowledge Carcana 0 ran%s, @nowledge Cnature 0 ran%s. 'eats) 3annot %now any Ba4e feats. Spellcasting) Ability to cast +nd level arcane spells, ability to cast + nd level primal spells. Special) The character must spend at least one wee% studying the energy flow of a fertile or abundant natural setting. This area must be in the wilderness, and not a cultivated region li%e a garden or farmland.
All the following are class features of the healer adept class. Hit $ie) d*. Class S/ills) 2luff, @nowledge Carcana, @nowledge Cnature, 8pellcraft, 8urvival. S/ill "oints) #ealer adepts receive + 9ntelligence modifier s%ill points at each level. eapon and Armor "ro!iciencies) #ealer adepts gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor. Spellcasting) $hen a new healer adept level is gained, the character gains new spells per day, caster levels, readied spells, and spells %nown as if he had increased his level in an arcane spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class and a primal spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. #e does not, however, gain any other benefits a character of that class would gain. 9f the healer adept had more than one arcane spellcasting class or more than one primal spellcasting class before becoming a healer adept, he must decide which class he improves with this feature. This choice may be changed at each level, but it cannot be changed retroactively. Oath o! -i!e) #ealer adepts ta%e sacred oaths to nourish and protect the land from defiling. Fiolation of this oath cuts the healer adept off from his abilities. A healer adept who defiles for any reason loses all class features of the healer adept class and his ability to cast primal spells, and must receive both an atonement and a conversion to recover his abilities. 3onsorting with defilers or others who see% the harm of the land may also result in the healer adept
brea%ing his oath. $raining Arcana 6Su9) The goal of a healer adept is to return to the land more energy than he ta%es. This process is accomplished in two different ways. irst, at the end of each day in which he cast arcane spells, the healer adept must e!pend a number of primal spell levels eEual to twice his healer adept level. This magical energy returns to the land and restores it, though the healer adept receives no direct benefit from doing so. 9f he cannot do so, he builds up a debt to the land eEual to the number of spell levels that he fell short. 9f a healer adept's debt ever e!ceeds twice his healer adept level, he loses the ability to cast divine spells until he pays off his debt. ?o other person or force can pay a healer adept's debt to the land 7 he must do so himself, using his own energy. 8econd, the healer adept supplements his own life energy with that of the land when he casts arcane spells. This imposes a terrible strain on his body, and causes him to age at twice the normal rate. or every year that passes, a healer adept ages two years. "nly a ish , miracle , or protection from time spell can prevent this aging from occurring. HealerEs Bond 6Su9) A healer adept forms a magical lin% to the land around him, allowing him to mingle his own energies with the land's when he casts spells. A healer adept can ignore terrain penalties to saving throw D3 and caster level chec%s for his arcane spells. #e does not gain bonuses from terrain modifiers when he would not normally, however. A healer adept can also cast arcane spells in areas without plant life, such as the Dead ands. Doing so is e!tremely draining, however, leaving the healer adept e!hausted for one minute per level of the spell. A healer adept cannot cast arcane spells in such an environment while e!hausted. Strength o! the -and 6Su9) At +nd level, the healer adept's deep ties to the land help fuel his druidic magic. 9f he would gain a terrain bonus to his arcane spells, he also gains that bonus for his primal spells. Combine Spells 60x9) At (rd level and beyond, a healer adept can merge his reservoir of primal power with his %nowledge of arcane magic. #e combines his daily st level spell slots for his primal and arcane classes. #e can use this combined pool to cast any readied primal or arcane spell. At 0 th level, and every odd/numbered level thereafter, the healer adept

applies this benefit to the ne!t highest level of spells, finally combining his *th level spell slots at (th level. Counter,RaGe 6Su9) At (rd level, a healer adept gains the ability to prevent a defiler from stealing enough energy to defile. $hen a mage with a caster level eEual to or lower than the healer adept's primal caster level defiles within feet per class level of the healer adept, he automatically senses it and can use an immediate action to counter the defiling. The defiler still spends the normal actions to defile, but he gains no additional benefit from doing so. The spell does not gain a bonus to its caster level or saving throw D3, Ba4e feats are not activated, and no creature or plant suffers from the defiling radius. The defiler's spell still goes off unless the healer adept uses some other means to counter it. Aura o! ;ro.th 6Su9) At )th level, a healer adept begins to pro>ect a healing energy into the land nearby, nourishing plants in his area. All mages within feet Healer Adept
per class level of the healer adept, including the healer adept himself, treat the terrain as one category higher for the purposes of casting arcane spells. 1lant creatures in the area gain fast healing unless the healer adept specifically wills otherwise. (imeless Bod# 60x9) At *th level, a healer adept's bond with the land stabili4es his body from the deleterious effects of aging. #e continues to age normally, but no longer ta%es ability score penalties for doing so. Any penalties that he has accrued remain in place, however. The healer adept also becomes immune to all forms of magical aging apart from that imposed by his draining arcana feature. 2onuses for aging still accrue, and the healer adept still dies of old age when his time is up. Aura o!

A defiler who attempts to defile land within feet per class level of the healer adept must ma%e a ortitude save CD3 class level $isdom modifier or ta%e + damage per healer adept level. This may cause the defiler to lose the spell if he fails a concentration chec%. "therwise, this ability does not prevent a defiler from successfully defiling, though the healer adept may still use his counter/ra4e ability as normal. HealerEs Restoration 6Su9) At th level, a healer adept may focus his energy to restore life to a desolate region. #e must choose an area of the wasteland with an infertile or worse terrain type. #e can then wor% powerful magic to reshape the land= moving groundwater from deep in the ground close to the surface, ad>usting soil acidity and consistency, building shielding roc% formations, and other such techniEues to ensure sustainable fertility. Doing so ta%es twelve hours of wor% each day for seven days, and reEuires the e!penditure of all arcane and primal spell slots that the healer adept possesses. #e can miss no more than two days in a row in this process before the effort is wasted and he must begin again. 9f the healer adept has access to a tree of life which he can root in the center of his terrain, this process only ta%es two days. Gpon completing this process, a region encompassing one sEuare mile is restored to verdant health. 9ts terrain type moves up three steps, to a ma!imum of abundant. ands restored by a healer adept are self/sustaining, reEuiring no special up%eep to continue their good health. Moreover, they e!pand naturally at a rate of 0 feet per month in all directions, or twice that rate if based around a tree of life. A healer adept who has restored the land in this fashion forms a permanent bond with that land. #e becomes immune to the negative effects of a defiler's defiling radius, regardless of that defiler's level. The rate at which he naturally recovers hit points and ability score damage doubles. inally, he can sense the presence and location of defiling in his restored land
at any distance, and can cast ,acklash and conservation within his restored land at any distance. $hile within his restored land, the healer adept gains damage reduction 0Ievil, fast healing +, and spell resistance eEual to his class level, and he gains a + bonus to caster level and saving throw D3 for his arcane and primal spells.

arge bands of cavalry are rare in the Tablelands, as active cavalry mounts reEuire vast supplies of water that are difficult to maintain in the wasteland. #owever, small groups of light cavalry serve vital functions as scouts and s%irmishers for city/state and raiding tribe ali%e. The most s%illed riders, however, are those rare individuals called wildling outriders. Able to form a nearly supernatural bond with their mounts, wildling outriders e!cel at the hit/and/run fighting style of a raider band. They use their superior mobility to harry their foes to e!haustion and defeat. $ildling outriders come from many different cultures and conte!ts; some are simple mercenaries, some are loyal soldiers, some are brigands, and some are simply wanderers. All of them, however, share the capacity to build an e!traordinary trust in their beasts. uali!ications) Most wildling outriders started their career as rangers, whose s%ill set combines the martial prowess and s%ill with animals that characteri4es the outrider's abilities.

The bonus damage improves to +d* at 0 th level, and to (d* at 6 th level. 8tarting at (rd level, whenever the wildling outrider's mount moves at least feet in a round, both mount and rider gain a dodge bonus to Armor 3lass until the beginning of her ne!t turn.

S/illed Rider 60x9) A wildling outrider gains a bonus to Bide chec%s eEual to his class level. ildbond Mount 60x9) A wildling outrider's greatest advantage is his ability to form a special bond with his mount. 3reating the wildbond ta%es one wee% of intensive training with the mount.

The scarcity of metals in Athas has forced technology to develop in different directions. "nly rare and special weapons incorporate any metal at all, and the solid steel plates of medieval armor are entirely impossible. Athasian armor is made from bone plates and wood, weapons from sharpened bone and obsidian. 8pecial materials such as adamantine are vanishingly rare, and too valuable to be used for such mundane creations as adventuring gear.
9n general, the Athasian economy in the cities is relatively stable than%s to the merchant houses. Gnder normal conditions, supply of basic necessities and materials is maintained by the caravans traveling bac% and forth between the cities. The constant flow of e!ports and imports necessitated the creation of a unified currency among the city/states, which resulted in the creation of the water standard.-ach merchant house and city/state maintains a reservoir specifically designated to uphold the currency. The standard unit of e!change, the ceramic piece, is worth e!actly five gallons of water. This system may ma%e the Athasian economy sound more stable than it actually is. 2arter is still very common in the cities, and in out/lying communities and desert villages, ceramic is often worth no more than the clay it's made from. 9ron, silver, gold, >ewels, and water are universally accepted items of value over the whole of the Tablelands; the same cannot be said of ceramic pieces. Conversion: "ne gold piece from the Pathfinder Core Rules is worth one ceramic piece in Dar% 8un. A silver piece from Pathfinder is worth one bit, and so on.

Heartpic/) This weapon is named for its purpose. 9t consists of a heavy hammer with a short haft and a long spi%e >utting out from the hammer. mpaler) Designed for arenas, the impaler is made from two long blades of serrated bone attached in a curving
construction is no secret. The blades are made from thin treated wood, lined along one edge with alchemically/bonded metal to give them a cutting edge. -lven longblades are pri4ed both for their craftsmanship, for building one is difficult, and for the rare metal Cusually bron4e which is necessary for their construction. An elven longblade counts as a light weapon for the purpose of the $eapon inesse feat. -otulis) The lotulis is a double/weapon with a long haft tipped with two straight bone blades. 2efore the sorcerer/%ing @ala%'s death, the lotulis was a popular weapon in the arenas of Tyr. The sight of the blade is now repulsive to the many liberated gladiators of the ree 3ity. Macahuitl) These oddly/named weapons are among the most comple! in common use. A macahuitl is built around a solid core of flawless wood, carefully etched to create grooves for the do4ens of ra4or/sharp obsidian shards that are slotted into the wood. The effect is much li%e a chainsaw of volcanic glass. The
11
name is of Dra>i origin, and apparently only the Dra>i are able to pronounce it properly Ci swords: or aggedness. Those of e!ceptional s%ill can wield the largest versions of these swords in one hand. "uchi/) 3ommon in the arena, the puchi% is a punching dagger with a wide bas%et and crossguard. The blade is made from obsidian or bone. Sloda/) These wooden shortswords are carved from hardwood trees, usually by halflings, who are the most common wielders of this weapon. The green wood is treated with sap and id fiend blood to allow it to hold an edge. Travelers unfamiliar with the halfling customs are often contemptuous of the wooden blades, usually a fatal mista%e. Spear+ $ouble,(ipped) 1ossibly originating in a desperate improvisation, the double/tipped spear is simply an ordinary spear with a second tip where the butt should be. They are most commonly found in arenas, and also surprisingly among elves, who en>oy the weapon's versatility and lightness. Splashbo.) This bow loo%s li%e an outsi4ed crossbow with an unnaturally wide notch. 8plashbows are not able to fire ordinary bolts; instead, they are used to fire pelota or hinged pelota. Alchemists with an interest in personal defense often wor% to master the splashbow, as it can hurl their concoctions much further than they could be thrown. S.atter) The swatter is a popular name for a half/ giant weapon consisting of a heavy spi%ed club made from hardwood, with a bron4e or lead core in the tip for added weight. The swatter earned its name from the legend of a half/giant soldier who reputedly used a similar weapon to defeat an entire thri/%reen hunting party. #alf/giants love the legend, as it is one of the few to portray their people in a positive light, and thus many half/giants develop weapons along the lines of the swatter. ew other races would be inclined to carry the vast weight of the weapon in any case. (alid) The talid, also %nown as the gladiator's gauntlet, is a blade/studded gauntlet strapped to its wielder's arm. Thic% blades and spi%es >ut from the leather frame at all angles= spi%es from each %nuc%le, blades along the bac% of the hand and the thumb, and a si!/inch spi%e from the elbow. Talids are strapped to
the wielder's arm, and cannot be disarmed. (hana/) The thana% is a chopping weapon most commonly found among pterrans. 9t consists of multiple thin wooden boards compressed together, with teeth, claws, or obsidian shards pressed into the gaps between the wood. 1terran warriors ta%e pride in crafting their own thana%s from the shed teeth of their own pterra! mounts. (/aesali) The t%aesali is a simple anti/infantry polearm, made from a long haft with a half/moon blade at the end. (on!a) The tonfa is a police weapon, especially popular among ?ibenese templars. Tonfas are short stic%s with heavy cores of alchemical lead and holes drilled through the shaft. The holes create the tonfa's characteristic shrie%ing noise when it is swung, and also raise painful welts on any unarmored creature stuc%. A larger, heavier version of the tonfa also e!ists, designed to be wielded with both hands. (ri/al) Three serrated blades pro>ect radially from the end of the tri%al's five/foot haft, each tooth cut deep and >agged to catch in flesh. The tri%al, unli%e most polearms, has a heavy pommel to balance the weight of the blades. hip+ MasterEs) Despite the name, few slaveholders wish to ris% maiming their property in the ways that this deadly ob>ect promises. A master's whip is thic%er and heavier than an ordinary whip, braided from leather or giant hair, and its tip ends in bone or chitin blades designed to tear flesh. ido.Es ni!e) Another weapon associated with assassins, the widow's %nife has a reputation for cruelty and brutality. The %nife itself is an ordinary straight dagger with a strange triangular hilt, which ma%es it difficult to grasp properly. 3oncealed within the hilt on either side of the blade are two curving spi%es, which can be released as a free action when a wielder hits with the widow's %nife. The spi%es deal additional damage eEual to the %nife's normal damage, and can be coated with poison, potentially allowing the widow's %nife to apply two doses of poison to a target. Beloading the spi%es is a full/round action. rist RaGor) A flashy favorite among many mon%s, the wrist ra4or has a vast range of designs, from the simple/but/effective >ury/rigged obsidian shard strapped to one's armor with leather ties, to
11!
fitted and tooled leather braces with several different thin blades. All, however, are based on the simple principle of avelin, with an e!tra/ large head and curving blades running down the haft. $hen it stri%es its target, it has a chance to lodge in and inflict additional pain if the target fails a Befle! save CD3 0 damage dealt. "nce lodged, the 4er%a drags on the target, who cannot charge or run, moves at half speed, and has difficulty concentrating C/0 penalty to concentration chec%s to cast or manifest. Additional 4er%as do not increase these penalties. Bemoving a 4er%a reEuires a move action.
Athasian armor is crafted from animal hides, bones, wood, and resin. Despite these primitive materials, s%illed armorcrafters can create armor with an air of refined elegance. 8ome masterwor% armor has metal pieces, but this is rare and often e!pensive.
Athasians use of a variety of special ammunition. Arro.+ Blunt) 2lunt arrows have heavy, weighted heads instead of points. 2lunt arrows ta%e a / penalty to attac% rolls, but deal bludgeoning damage. They can be used to deal nonlethal damage without penalty. Arro.+ S.i!t.ing) -lves li%e to claim that they can outrun these fast arrows. 8wiftwing arrows halve the range increment penalty, reducing it to / per increment. Bolt+ Blunt) These heavy bolts are adaptations of blunt arrows, and have the same properties. Bolt+ Repeater) These bolts are specially designed to wor% with a repeating crossbow. Bolt+ Siege Crossbo.) These enormous three/foot bolts can only be fired from siege crossbows. "elota) 1elota are small, hollow ceramic spheres. They are often drilled through with holes to ma%e a loud whistling as they fly. 1elota are ammunition for

de>ada and splashbows. "elota+ Hinged) The hinged pelota is not commonly seen, but always feared. They are li%e normal pelota, but instead of the holes, they are designed with a special hinged compartment that opens when the pelota hits its target. These compartments are usually filled with poison or alchemical compounds, which inflict their effects on the target of the pelota. #inged pelota are sold empty, and must be filled after each use. illing a hinged pelota ta%es a standard action. "elota+ Spi/ed) These pelota are not truly spi%ed, but rather covered in sharp obsidian shards. They deal slashing damage as well as bludgeoning damage. 8plashbows cannot fire spi%ed pelota, as the shards catch in the notch.
Though most of the special materials discussed in the Pathfinder Core Rules do not e!ist in Athas, there are local eEuivalents. 9n addition, the normal bone and chitin materials used in Athas have their hardness and hit points listed here. Adamantine) Also %nown as ect's hardness and from a monster's damage reduction before dealing damage. CThis cannot reduce hardness or damage reduction below . Adamantine weapons can bypass
all damage reduction against iron or adamantine. Armor made from adamantine is even stronger than iron, and grants DB (I/, or )I/ if it is heavy armor. Adamantine shields grant DB I/. As with iron, items without metal parts cannot be made from adamantine. An adamantine item is always masterwor%. Adamantine has ) hit points per inch of thic%ness and hardness +. $eapons and armor made from adamantine have half again as many hit points as an iron item of their type. Aga!ari) A rare wood found in isolated groves in the orest Bidge and the 3rescent orest, agafari is harder and lighter than bron4e, and almost as easy to wor%. Any wooden or mostly wooden item made from agafari is considered a masterwor% item and weighs only half as much as a normal wooden item of its type. $ooden armor and shields made from agafari have their ma!imum De!terity bonus increased by + and their armor chec% penalties reduced by (. Medium and heavy armors made from agafari are treated as one category lighter than normal for the purposes of movement and other limitations Cheavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors as light. This does not affect the proficiency reEuirements for the armor. 9tems made from agafari cost ten times as much as normal. Agafari has the same hardness and hit points as iron. Bone) The best crafting bones come from the bodies of large beasts. Many a!es are fashioned from a me%illot's shoulder blades, while >ha%ar ribs form the bladed hoo%s of ala%s. 2one items have hit points per inch of thic%ness and hardness *. 2one weapons and armor have one/half the hit points listed in the Pathfinder Core Rules for iron items. Chitin) 3hitin is obtained from the many insects of the Athasian wastes, usually %an%s. Thri/%reen chitin is also used, though any '%reen who sees such armor will do its best to eviscerate wearer and seller ali%e. 3hitin items have hit points per inch of thic%ness
11'
and hardness *. 3hitin armor has one/half the hit points listed in the Pathfinder Core Rules for iron armor. $asl) This strange crystal is mined and treated by the thri/%reen, who often use it to create weapons. Dasl is harder than many metals, and therefore highly valued in the Tyr region. 9t also resonates with psionic energy, and can build a psionic charge. As a free action, the wielder of a dasl weapon can channel power point into the crystal to cause it to deal an additional d* damage on its ne!t stri%e. Dasl remains charged for one minute or until its charge is e!pended. An item crafted from dasl costs ten times what it would normally cost. Dasl has the same hardness and hit points as iron. $ra/e Hide) The s%in of a dra%e is of such value that most sorcerer/%ings forbid its sale. They have instructed templars to confiscate any such items that appear in the mar%et for the monarch. 2ecause dra%es are so rare it is easy for templars to claim that the item was stolen from the sorcerer/%ing and have the seller e!ecuted or enslaved. -lves, of course, defy these edicts at every turn, and ma%e a fair profit selling dra%e materials one step ahead of the Templarate. Dra%e hide is usually around one inch thic%, and so tough that dra%e hunters must carry masterwor% steel s%inning %nives to successfully pare it away from the corpse of their prey. "ne dra%e produces enough hide for four suits of masterwor% hide armor, three suits of masterwor% banded armor, two suits of masterwor% half/plate, or one suit of masterwor% full/plate armor for a Medium creature. Armor made from dra%e hide is immune to the energy type associated with its dra%e's element, and provides resistance + to that energy for its wielder. This resistance stac%s with any magical effects that grant energy resistance or absorption. 2ecause dra%e hide is not metal, druids can wear dra%e hide armor without penalty. Armor made from dra%e hide is always masterwor%, and costs three times as much as a normal masterwor% armor of the same type. Dra%e hide has 0 hit points per inch of thic%ness and hardness . $ra/e %or#) Dra%e ivory is e!traordinarily strong and easy to wor% compared to the bone that most weaponsmiths must use. 8ince it can only be obtained from the claws and teeth of the rare dra%es, it is uncommon, e!pensive, and illegal Csee dra%e hide,
above. $eapons made from dra%e ivory cost an additional +, 3p. A double weapon that is only half crafted using dra%e ivory increases its costs by 0. or purposes of damage reduction, dra%e ivory is considered eEuivalent to cold iron. Dra%e ivory has the same hit points and hardness as iron. ;iant Hair) iant hair is very strong and freEuently woven together to form a strong cord. $hile sometimes used in armor, its most common purpose is creating rope. $i4ards also use giant hair to form comple! te!tural spellboo%s. iant hair rope costs 3p per foot, and has hardness * and + hit points per inch of thic%ness. Cor comparison, normal rope has no hardness at all. ron) 9ron, li%e most other metals, is very rare on Athas, but it is still used in creating many weapons and armors. ew craftsmen are able to wor% iron, but there are at least a couple in each city/state. The only current source of new iron is the Tyrian iron mine, which itself is the remnant of an older mine which had been e!hausted of useful Euantities of the metal by the standards of its age. Most iron ob>ects available for sale have been scavenged from ruins. $eapons and armor made from iron or iron alloys Csuch as steel are vastly superior to their bone, wood, and chitin counterparts. An iron weapon grants its wielder a inherent bonus to attac% and damage rolls. 9ron weapons can also bypass the damage reduction of some Athasian monsters. 9ron armor provides DB I/ to its wearer, and reduces armor chec% penalties for medium and heavy armor by . 9ron shields reduce armor chec% penalties by . 9tems without metal parts cannot be made from iron. 9ron and its alloys have ( hit points per inch of thic%ness and hardness . An iron item costs times its normal price, and is sub>ect to availability restrictions, even in Tyr. -eather) eather is usually obtained from the many giant li4ards that roam the Athasian wastes. Me%illot and ini! hides are the most common source of leather armor. eather and hide have 0 hit points per inch of thic%ness and hardness +. Sil%er+ Alchemical) The process of binding silver to weapons has been greatly refined on Athas. Fery little silver is actually needed for the process. Alchemical silver can be applied to adamantine, bone, dasl, iron, and obsidian weapons. Applying
11)

BlitG) This common drug is widely traffic%ed by elves and bards. 2lit4 is used as often for its ability to improve the reaction speed of its users as it is for the euphoric rush that it provides. The drug is made into a fine powder, which is inhaled through a straw. 2lit4 users view the entire world in slow motion, and their own actions feel floaty and distant.

Hol# 0arth) #oly water is Euite rare, as it is valued more for its nutritive value than its ability to harm the undead. #owever, blessed silt, earth, or obsidian are common substitutes. ronthorn Resin) The thic% resin of the ironthorn bush, %nown for its tenacity in the wastes, is one of the staples of the armorcrafter's trade. 9ronthorn resin is used to harden leather, bone, and chitin into armor plates. $ith proper alchemical treatment, it can provide similar benefits to ordinary cloth. An item treated with ironthorn resin is waterproof and gains a bonus to its hardness. 3lothing treated with ironthorn resin also provides a armor bonus to its wearer's A3. 9tems that already provide an armor bonus do not gain this benefit. 9ronthorn resin lasts for one wee%, or until the item is thoroughly washed. 3reating ironthorn resin reEuires a D3 0 3raft CAlchemy chec%. &ir!)

Shine) "ne of the most popular drugs, shine is also one of the most addictive. 9t is made from powdered leaves of the shinethorn cactus, which are mi!ed with into alcohol and swallowed. 8hine fills its users with a deep, constant pleasure similar to orgasm, combined with a persistent disassociation.

The items described below are useful either in specific

situations or to characters who have speciali4ed s%ills. Concealing ea%e) This %it consists of one or more related articles of clothing specifically designed to shroud the wearer's arms, ma%ing their movements difficult to see and interpret. $earing a concealing weave grants a + bonus to 2luff chec%s made to conceal spellcasting. $istillation it) $ater is often more precious than life in the deserts of Athas Cor at least, more precious than someone else+s life. This simple %it uses sunlight and ambient heat to evaporate pure water from bodily or coo%ing waste, salt la%es, to!ic mud, or other water/ rich but dangerous substances. This ust
a few minutes for travel and storage. "arasol) 1arasols range in design from simple practicality to refined fashion statement, but all serve a useful purpose during an Athasian noon. Most parasols are simple constructions of wood with hide or cloth strapped over the top to create a spot of shade. More comple! designs are available for the upper classes, often involving comple! folding agafari leaves and painted sil% cloth covers. A parasol reEuires a free hand to use, and provides sufficient shade to protect from sun glare and sunburn. 9t also provides a bonus to saving throws against dehydration.
9n addition to the outfits in the Pathfinder Core Rules , Athasians can benefit from wearing these outfits. 0l%en Out!it) Although varying from tribe to tribe, all elven clothes are based on two concepts= functionality and flattery. This set of clothes usually includes a hooded cloa% or styli4ed robes, although some ma%e use of tight leather wraps or other heat/ shielding materials. An elven outfit is custom/tailored for its wearer, and designed to show that wearer's form to ma!imum effect. -lven outfits are often viewed as lewd by those who consider the elves licentious. -lven outfits are peculiar to each tribe, and any elf can easily identify the tribe of the wearer by the mar%ings on their clothes. -lven outfits are not normally available to outsiders at all. 9n addition, various portions of an elven outfit are designed to be reversible, and carry camouflage patterns on the reverse. Beversing an elven outfit ta%es one minute, and provides the wearer a + circumstance bonus to 8tealth chec%s in desert terrain. -lven outfits also provide a + bonus to any 2luff or Diplomacy chec%s made to seduce someone. inally, an elven outfit provides heat protection and immunity to sunburn Csee the 3ombat N 8urvival chapter. An elven outfit can be crafted as masterwor%, for the normal price for masterwor% armor. Masterwor% elven outfits can be worn over light armor. Heatsuit Out!it) This heavy suit is designed to protect against the brutal heat of the desert. 9t consists of heavy pants and coat, a specially treated leather apron, thic% mittens, a thic% hood, and goggles. A heatsuit provides ( heat protection and immunity to sunburn Csee the 3ombat N 8urvival chapter.

Although the outfit consists of heavy clothing, its heat/resistant materials negate the usual penalty for wearing heavy clothes in hot environments. High (emplarEs Out!it) The ultimate symbol of ran%, the high templar's outfit differs between each city/state. This set of clothing is made of the best material produced in each city/state and is tailored to each individual. $earing the proper high templar outfit for a city's Templarate grants a + bonus to Diplomacy chec%s in 8ecular Authority contests. Ro#al $e!ilerEs Out!it) Boyal defilers, who practice sorcery with the bac%ing of a sorcerer/%ing, must clearly indicate their protected status if they are to be spared the mob's wrath. This set of clothing is made from the best materials available in a city/state, and is second in Euality only to a templar's uniform. $earing the proper defiler's outfit for a city provides a + circumstance bonus to 9ntimidate chec%s against citi4ens of that city. Sla%eEs Out!it) This simple set of clothes consists of a loincloth, or a short s%irt and sleeveless tunic, all made of rough/hewn materials. astelanderEs Out!it) 8imilar to the clothing of the elven tribes, this set of clothes usually includes a large hooded clothes, layers of heat/resistant cloth, and reinforced leather padding designed to protect against blowing sand and sharp roc%s.

A wastelander's outfit can be crafted as masterwor%, for the normal price of masterwor% armor. Masterwor% wastelander's outfits can be worn over light armor.
ine+ Cactus) Most Athasian wine is made from pressed and fermented cactus >uices, carefully sweetened and filtered to eliminate to!ins. 3actus wine varies from region to region, and along with broy is the common alcoholic beverage of the lower and middle classes. ine+ 'aro) "nce every ten years, the temperamental faro cactus blooms and produces fruit. aro fruits are either sold plain or, more commonly, turned into valuable preserves and even more valuable wines. aro wine is cool and dry, and generally considered far superior to ordinary cactus wine. 9ts scarcity and cost, however, restrict faro wine to the upper classes, to the point that simply possessing faro wine without a patent of nobility is a crime in Baam and ?ibenay.
Traveling across the Athasian wastes is dangerous and slow. Mounts can speed the crossing and provide valuable protection for wanderers and caravans. These mounts replace those in the Pathfinder Core Rules. Crodlu) A crodlu is a large bipedal li4ard, resembling a scaled ostrich. A cordlu is an appropriate mount for a Medium humanoid. 3rodlu can be difficult to control in battle without combat training. 3rodlu benefit from stabling, can wear barding, and reEuire feeding. 0rdland) These creatures are large, flightless birds that weigh around + tons and can stand up to 0 feet tall. -rdlands are usually used to pull caravans, but are also often found as mounts for Medium or arge creatures. -rdlands are comfortable in battle, and do not reEuire special combat training. -rdlands benefit from stabling, can wear barding, and reEuire feeding. 0rdlu) -rdlus are a smaller variety of erdland, Many Athasian travelers can find free lodging and sustenance courtesy of psionic academies, merchant mostly used as herd beasts.

These insects cannot be used as food, as their meat is rancid and to!ic to humanoids, but they regularly produce highly nutritious globules of honey when well maintained. @an%s can be encouraged to grow to various si4es, and serve as effective mounts for 8mall, Medium, or arge creatures. Any %an% bred for a non/Medium creature costs 0 more than the listed price, and is usually more difficult to obtain. A %an% is difficult to control in battle without combat training. @an%s benefit from stabling, but do not wear barding.

Me%illots are %nown for their s%ittish nature and foul temper, and usually reEuire psionic handlers to manage. They are too large to serve as personal transportation, but are commonly employed as combat troop transports or for hauling heavy cargo or caravans. Me%illots benefit from stabling, can wear barding, and reEuire feeding. A me%illot needs eight times as much food as a normal mount.
drive the chariot while the other wields a bow or other ranged weapon. reat chariots are built for four people and are very heavily constructed, reEuiring at least two mounts. $ar chariots and great chariots offer cover to their occupants. reat chariots are fitted with blades on their wheel spo%es which deal d damage to any creature ad>acent to the chariot while it is moving. Ho.dah) A howdah is an enclosure mounted on a riding animal containing space for one or more people. #owdahs can be fitted for ini!es or me%illots, and provide shade and cover from the elements. An ini! howdah can hold only one person, while a war howdah can hold up to four. A me%illot howdah can hold up to two people, but a war howdah is much larger, a two/level tower that can hold up to si!teen. $ar howdahs for either beast provide cover to their occupants. agon) $agons are a critical element of the Athasian economy, as they facilitate the caravans that ma%e life in the wastes possible. "pen wagons are basic, open/topped carts that can carry a certain amount of cargo. -nclosed wagons have thin walls which can e!clude the elements, and generally carry people or light, fragile cargo. As Athasian wagons are built with little or no metal, their carrying capacity is strictly limited. "pen and enclosed wagons reEuire two beasts or one erdland to draw them. Armored wagons are a form of enclosed wagon uncommon outside merchant house caravans, designed to protect contents and riders. Their walls are reinforced by agafari wood, creating sturdy barriers.

occasionally possible to commission an enchanted item from a psion, but such commissions are costly indeed. Those interested in obtaining magical gear are best advised to see% the 2ardic Huarter of the local city/state, where bards and alchemists can offer healing tonics and even, with a word in the right ear, connections to less/reputable enchanters such as mages. Do not be sEueamish about the nature of the enchantments that you receive, however= enchanter/ mages are often defilers who deal incredible damage to the land for ease in their labor.
-!cept as noted here, creating an enchanted item wor%s e!actly as described in the Pathfinder Core Rules. 2e aware that new item creation feats, which can be found in the 3haracter "ptions chapter, have replaced the original Pathfinder item creation feats. Spell no.ledge= -nchanters no longer need to %now specific spells to create enchantments. Any item may be created by any enchanter. The only e!ceptions are those items which cast or manifest specific spells or powers Cscrolls, wands, dor>es, etc.. 9f the enchanter is a spellcaster, he must have the spell on his class list and be able to cast it. 9f the enchanter is a psion, he must %now the power in Euestion. "o.er Source= As a direct conseEuence of the rule on spell %nowledge presented above, nearly any item may be crafted by any enchanter. 9t is irrelevant for most items whether the enchanter uses psionics, arcane magic, or divine magic. Though the enchanter's power source might affect the item's appearance, it will not change the item's function. $e!iling) A wi4ard/enchanter faces a uniEue temptation, and has a uniEue tool= his ability to defile. The energy granted from defiling allows a mage to create enchanted items Euic%ly and at little cost. Doing so halves the creation time of the enchanted item and reduces the material cost by Cto )0 of the mar%et price of the item. #owever, the mage must defile an area of sEuare feet per caster level of the highest level enchantment on the item. or e!ample, a sword with a enhancement bonus C3 ( and the flaming enchant C3 would reEuire the enchanter to defile an area of , sEuare feet. 9tems enchanted by defiling cannot be discerned from items enchanted by other means.
Athas can provide any classical sort of enchanted item, plus several new %inds designed for psionicists. 9tems can be crafted in a wide variety of forms, limited only by the creativity of their creator. #owever, some forms are more common than others. 9tems in this chapter have common shapes which might be une!pected, or may be entirely new types of items. "otions= Athasian potions ta%e all sorts of forms. They are rarely found in glass vials, because glass is a valuable and rare commodity. 9nstead, potions often come in the form of oils, which can be Euic%ly rubbed into the s%in, or small fruits, which grant the potion's benefits when consumed. 1otion/fruits are easy to discern from ordinary fruits, as they are often designed to glow slightly or tingle to the touch. The strangest of all are tattoos, which usually contain psionic powers rather than spells. Tattoos are made from a thic%, oily in% which is applied directly to the s%in. -ven if scraped off, enchanted tattoos retain their shape when applied to another user. A tattoo can be activated by tapping it in a specific pattern. Scrolls= 9n the illiterate Tablelands, where even many mages are incapable of understanding the written word, scrolls are poorly designed to serve their purpose. They are usually replaced by small figurines carved from wood or bone, often designed to reflect the nature of the power that they carry. 8croll figurines crumble into dust when their magic is spent. Sta%es= -nchanted staves are not common in Athas, as the image of a staff/bearing mage is too ingrained in the public consciousness for most real mages to feel comfortable in providing any fuel for the fires of superstition. #eavy sets of lin%ed bracelets are the most common substitute, each individual bracelet enchanted with a different spell. 8tave/li%e ob>ects called psicrons can be crafted by psionic enchanters to hold powers >ust li%e a staff holds spells. 1sicrowns follow all rules for staves, e!cept as noted below. -ach psicrown has a fi!ed manifester level which applies to all of its powers. The minimum manifester level for a psicrown is eEual to the power point cost of the most e!pensive power stored in the crown. As with staves, the manifester level of the psicrown may be increased by spending more money to create the item.
12!
A psicrown is created with a power point reserve rather than charges. A psicrown contains 0 power points per manifester level of the psicrown. The powers within the psi/crown may be manifested and augmented freely from the psicrown's power point reserve, though the user may not spend more power points than the psi/crown's manifester level on any single power. ands= i%e staves, wands are so strongly associated with arcane magic that mages fear to carry them. $ands have appeared in many forms, and are possibly the most variable of enchanted items, but one common variety is made to loo% li%e small weapons, such as daggers or saps. These items function Euite handily as ordinary weapons, but can also be used to create magical effects li%e a wand. $and/li%e ob>ects called dor'es can be crafted by psionic enchanters to hold powers >ust li%e a wand holds spells. Dor>es follow all rules for wands, e!cept as noted below. Gnli%e wands, a dor>e can hold a power of any level. A dor>e's manifester level can be increased when it is created by increasing the cost of the dor>e, >ust li%e with a wand. 9f the power contained in the dor>e is augmentable, it is augmented to the limit allowed by the dor>e's manifester level. 9f multiple different augmentations are possible, the precise allocation of augmentations must be chosen when the dor>e is created. Manifesters cannot augment a dor>e's power with their own power points.

The world of Athas is harsh and unforgiving. Bec%less use of defiling magic has caused ecological collapse, dimming the sun and turning the land into a desert wasteland. The air itself is full of cho%ing dust, and water is rare and precious. This chapter features new and e!panded rules for surviving the ha4ardous wastes.
3ombat is dangerous. This, above all other things, should be understood. -ven the greatest of heroes should attempt to avoid fights. "bviously, death is a ris%, but seasoned adventurers also fear even simple wounds, for a hard blow in the wrong place can wrec% havoc on the body for days or wee%s to come. $orse yet, a wound left untreated can become aggravated and inflict permanent disability.
A character struc% by a severe blow in combat might become in>ured. $henever a character suffers a critical hit, or ta%es damage in e!cess of his wound threshold from a single attac%, he must ma%e a ortitude save or suffer a minor wound CD3 one/Euarter of the damage dealt. A character's wound threshold eEuals one/Euarter of his hit points plus his 3onstitution score. 9f he fails the save, roll on the table below to determine what sort of wound he ta%es. All penalties from minor wounds stac%. Minor wounds persist until they are treated with the #eal s%ill Csee the 3haracter "ptions chapter or until the character receives magical healing. -ach
healing spell automatically cures one minor wound, plus an additional minor wound for every hit points it restores. 9f a character is restored to full hit points by any means, all of his minor wounds are immediately healed.
$hen a character is rendered unconscious by damage Ceither lethal or nonlethal, he automatically suffers a ma>or wound. Boll on the table below to determine what sort of wound he suffers. 9f the same character is rendered unconscious by damage a second time before his ma>or wound is treated, he gains a new ma>or wound from the table and his e!isting ma>or wound becomes a severe wound. 9f the character is rendered unconscious three or more times before his wounds are treated, he continues to gain a new ma>or wound each time, his e!isting ma>or wounds become severe wounds, and any e!isting severe wounds may become permanent in>uries Csee below. Minor wounds, ma>or wounds, severe wounds, and permanent in>uries all stac%. or e!ample, when a character with a ma>or leg wound becomes unconscious, he now has both a ma>or leg wound and a severe leg wound Cas well as another unspecified ma>or wound. A ma>or wound persists until the character is restored to full hit points, no matter what means are used to accomplish this goal. 3haracters without access to magical healing must accept the necessity of bed rest to recover. 8evere wounds ta%e the form of

Heat Reduction) A character with heat protection is able to reduce the danger of heat ha4ards. #igh levels of heat protection reduce the effective temperature band that the character inhabits. A character with heat protection + treats the temperature as one band lower; heat protection 0 allows him to treat the temperature as two bands lower; and heat protection & allows him to treat the temperature as three bands lower. This also reduces a character's water needs by the same number of steps Csee below. or e!ample, a character with heat protection 0 would treat wasteland terrain as shaded for the purpose of determining water loss and dehydration.

9n the wastes, food is much scarcer than it seems. Many of the creatures that inhabit the Tyr Falley are poisonous, whether by way of being actually venomous or by consuming enough to!ins to ma%e their meat nauseatingly foul. 1sionic beasts present a special ha4ard 7 many rely on their natural psychic abilities to maintain eEuilibrium in their bodies, and after death their flesh rapidly becomes to!ic. 1lants are also often dangerous; for every safe and nutritious bit of vegetation found in the wastes, there are five which cause a tearing illness when eaten. A @nowledge chec% will indicate which things are edible and which are too dangerous to eat. The 8urvival s%ill can be used to deto!ify food to ma%e it edible. A Medium creature reEuires at least one pound of food every day to avoid starvation. Double this amount for each si4e category above Medium, and halve it for each si4e category below Medium. Thus, a 8mall creature reEuires only half a pound of food, while a arge creature needs two pounds. This food must be reasonably nutritious 7 cactus needles can provide a filling brea%fast, but they are hardly nourishing, while food that is too to!ic to %eep down cannot provide its nutrients to the body. A creature can go without sufficient food for ( days without penalty. After that time, it must ma%e a 3onstitution chec% each day CD3 per previous chec%. "n failure, it ta%es ta%es d* points of nonlethal damage and begins starving. This damage cannot be healed by any means until the creature can consume a day's worth of food. A starving creature is fatigued until it has eaten; if it has also ta%en damage from dehydration or heat, it is instead e!hausted. A starving creature which has ta%en nonlethal damage eEual to its total hit points treats all further damage from starvation as lethal damage.
$hile starvation is always a ha4ard in the wastes, 9n the wasteland, basic necessities are often difficult to the true %iller is thirst. 2urning heat and dessicating winds can reduce even the strongest man to a come by. The local animals are few, and usually shambling wrec%, and eventually to another set of dangerous or to!ic. $ater is scarce, scattered across tiny oases. 9n such conditions, starvation and thirst are bleached bones in the desert. Fery little moisture can be found in the Athasian wastes; even the 3rescent an ever/present ris%, especially as the heat of the orest is dry, a woodland of evergreens and other burning sun pulls all moisture from the body. plants which need little water. The little rainfall in the
10
wastes comes from irregular storms coming over the Binging Mountains, which are usually accompanied by vast mudslides and destructive floods. 3onsistent water supplies can be found at oases, well/%nown and well/mar%ed locations around the wastes where groundwater has tric%led to the surface. "asis/water is usually tainted with heavy mineral deposits, but the thirsty travelers rarely care, for water spells life. A Medium creature reEuires one gallon of water each day. Double this amount for each si4e category above Medium, and halve it for each si4e category below Medium. Thus, a 8mall creature reEuires only half a gallon of water each day, while a arge creature needs two gallons. The terrain that the creature is traveling or living in affects these water reEuirements; see the table below for details. $ater contaminated by to!ins still provides its nourishment, but at the cost of illness and disease. 9n a $arm or cooler environment, a creature can last +) 3on score hours without water before being affected by thirst. This time is reduced in particularly hot environments; see the table below for details. A salt flat is even less hospitable than the wasteland, and the 1lane of ire burns water directly out of the s%in. A creature with heat protection sufficient to grant immunity to effects of the local heat can use the $arm times for dehydration. After this time, it must ma%e a successful 3onstitution chec% every hour CD3 per previous chec% or ta%e d* nonlethal damage and become dehydrated. Damage from dehydration cannot be healed by any means until the dehydration is treated. A dehydrated creature is fatigued until it has been treated; if it has also ta%en damage from starvation, it is instead e!hausted. urthermore, if a dehydrated creature would ta%e nonlethal damage from heat, that damage is instead treated as lethal damage.

9t would be a mista%e to imagine Athas as a desert world, a place of sand dunes and >agged escarpments. The more appropriate general term is ungles in the lands beyond the Tyr Falley. -ach sort of terrain has its own characteristics and ha4ards which travelers must ta%e into account.
The roc%y badlands of the Tyr Falley are labyrinths of narrow, twisting canyons winding their way through a region of high ground. The canyons are walled by cliffs of crumbling roc%, and the hilltops consist of little more than %nife/sharp ridges separating one canyon from the ne!t. There tend to be concentrations of oases in the badlands, so they are a natural haven for hermits, raiding tribes, and creatures of all sorts. Mountains lie at the heart of the badlands, although they are usually little more than massive pinnacles of
.
11
roc% rising from the surrounding hills. "ccasionally, however, they are true mountains, rising thousands of feet high. Traveling through the badlands is not especially difficult so long as one is willing to stay in the bottom of the canyons and has no interest in moving in a straight line. Those wishing to go somewhere other than where the canyon leads Euic%ly discover that scaling the canyon walls 7 often sheer cliffs 7 is practically impossible, especially if they have much cargo. The gulches of the badlands are often covered with diminutive trees bearing tiny silver, gold, or purple leaves. There is also an abundance of low/lying brush with serrated silver leaves. The twigs of the trees ma%e e!cellent gra4ing for any reptile, but should not be fed to %an%s, which die within days of eating even a mouthful of the stuff. The serrated leaves of the low bushes should not be eaten by any creature, as the edges are lined with sharp fragments that tear apart the insides of whatever eats them.
The other notable forest is a rather different proposition. #igh in the Binging Mountains, the stony cliffs suddenly give way to a gently falling ridgeline covered in bamboo and towering birch stands. The orest Bidge is an ecological marvel, one of the few environments %nown which remains lush and green. or some reason, a wide band west of the summit of the Binging Mountains is surprisingly moist. ?early every morning, a gentle dri44le falls, and at night there is sometimes snow. As a traveler enters the forest, he Euic%ly discovers that the vegetation is so thic% that he must cut a path through it. The unstable gravel footing of the mountains has been replaced by soft, thic% moss. The slopes are still steep, the cliffs >ust as roc%y, and the plunging abysses >ust as deep and fatal, but they are hardly visible behind the curtain of vegetation. ew large predators lur% in the thic% >ungle, strangely enough. Most of the fauna of the orest Bidge are small and inoffensive, albeit poisonous enough to drop a half/giant in his trac%s. They are timid and flee from travelers, and little threat so long as one watches where one steps. The true threat of this land are the halfling tribes, who view all other species orests are a rare sight in the parched wastes, but there are two worthy of the title. The most accessible is as potential food. The more savage tribes prefer to eat the 3rescent orest in the center of the Tablelands, and foreigners alive and screaming. "thers are more so valuable that it boasts two city/states that compete civili4ed, and have the decency to slaughter and coo% their meals first. #alflings traveling with a party of for its resources. The 3rescent orest contains the most green life east of the Binging Mountains, and its agged, often leading nowhere at warriors of ulg and ?ibenay better armed than any all. ?avigating the mountains is treacherous without a e!cept the metal/bearing soldiers of Tyr, and also fuel guide, and those are difficult to find at all. There are the endless conflict between the two cities. There are almost no roads through any inland mountains; what many worthy natural ha4ards in the 3rescent orest, paths do e!ist are little better than goat trails. from deadfalls to animate thorn briars to its uniEue Dangerous creatures lur% in the deep caves of the high venomous sparrows, but the greatest ris% of all is to be passes, adding yet another danger to any crossing found by ulg's roving bands of guerilla/rangers and attempt. e!ecuted for trespassing on the "ba's lands. The Binging Mountains are a special danger, for
12
they are far larger than any of the inland mountains. To the north and south, the wall of the mountains have been carved away as if with a %nife, possibly the remnant of an ancient cataclysm or war. These gashes in the mountain ma%e egress possible, but with the Dead ands to the south and endless arrays of desert and twisted waste to the north, travel outside the Tablelands is scarcely encouraged. The western mountains rise sharply from foothills to proper pea%s, a series of steep, scree/covered slopes that are impossible to cover while mounted. The only passable regions follow winding, >agged cliffs into the heights, eventually plateauing at the orest Bidge. The Binging Mountains are characteri4ed by deep abysses where the ground falls away with almost no warning. Many would/be e!plorers have fallen to their deaths by traveling too long into the dar%. The eastern e!panse of the mountains are as parched as the barrens below; when rainfall does pass over from the orest Bidge, it usually causes flooding which can sweep the mountainside clean. Travelers who hear the rumble of thunder to the west are well advised to see% shelter from the mudslide that could follow.
8cattered through the 8ea of 8ilt, and even in the smaller silt basins, are small areas where ground water beneath the 8ea has filtered up to the surface and turned the dust into mud. Mud flats are usually between and feet in diameter. Their water/ rich soil ma%es them incredibly fertile, and they are often covered in lush vegetation that po%es out over a layer of the ever/present silt. 9f the wind has blown away this dusty shield and e!posed the mud beneath, the surface may be solid enough to support a humanoid. More li%ely, however, a man will find himself wallowing in waist/deep mud and dust. $hile this may seem more hospitable than the normal fall to the silt bed in the rest of the 8ea, mud flats are often the home of strange, ferocious, and above all territorial creatures who view travelers as a meal waiting to leap into their >aws. The vegetation is also hostile, and occasionally carnivorous. Mud flats produce the closest thing to a >ungle that most inhabitants of the Tablelands could hope to see= towering, na%ed/trun%ed trees capped by frond/li%e leaves and strung with winding lianas, the floor
beneath full of heavy ferns and long grasses. The grasses are a particular ha4ard, as the sharp/edged blades have an edge superior to ground obsidian and can slice to the bone in an instant. 2ubbling pools of mud should be avoided, for all their promise of easy water; such mud is both scalding hot and incredibly to!ic.
The environment of the Dead ands is even harsher than the worst desert. -ven sand and salt are more amenable to life than solid obsidian. ?o one %nows how deep the obsidian coating may be, or what sort of cataclysm could create such desolation. ro4en rivers of blac% obsidian cover the land to the hori4on and beyond, forming an eerie mimicry of the natural flow the land before the disaster. Dipping river beds and towering cliffs of volcanic glass show that this land was once at least as hospitable as the Tyr Falley, which only seems an improvement when compared to the blasted emptiness of the Dead ands. 8ometimes the ground opens in >agged gashes, which vent ash and to!ic fumes. Most of the ground is covered in a thin layer of ash and dust, scarcely enough to conceal the pure obsidian beneath. That obsidian itself is rarely smooth anymore, having shattered into shards which can rend a traveler's feet to tatters. 8imilar environments can be found near large, active volcanoes, though not nearly so large as the Dead ands. 9t seems that nothing should be able to survive in such a terrible environment, and indeed few things can. There are no plants worth mentioning 7 the very few that can grow in ash are scattered and incredibly to!ic to all beings. Farious supernatural beasts ma%e their home in the Dead ands, especially elemental beasts of -arth and Magma. oliaths are believed to live somewhere deep in the interior of the Dead ands, though where their home may be and how they survive is a mystery to all. The most common deni4ens of the Dead ands, however, are the undead. ombies of all sorts roam obsidian wastes, drawn there by an un%nown hunger. $hy the undead prefer such desolate environments is unclear, but most people in the Tablelands may be grateful that it is so.

At the worst, a tornado wind pushes the sand at incredible speed, rending flesh from bone in mere minutes. 1lants are few and far between in the sandy wastes, for they must fight a constant losing battle with the wind as it wor%s to bury them beneath the ever/shifting earth. 8till, there are occasional clumps of tough grass or scrawny salt brush bushes. 8andy/ growing plants are rarely nutritious, though not harmful. 8ome are %nown to have strange psychotropic effects on reptiles, however, and should be %ept away from any me%illots, ini!es, or other giant li4ards.
The sandy wastes fulfill the normal e!pectations of the open desert= vast e!panses of yellow sand, either piled into dunes or forming an e!pansive flat plane. The blowing winds form dunes, which come in many types. The most notable of these are me%illot dunes and star dunes. Me%illot dunes are formed when the local winds are strong and uniform, constantly pushing more sand in a single direction. "ver the years, this creates veritable mountains of sand. The name comes from the great si4e and shape of the dunes, which resemble the hump of a me%illot's bac%. Me%illot dunes can stretch for many miles, and rise as high as , feet, ma%ing them an oft/cursed phenomena for those who must travel through the deep desert. 8tar dunes, by contrast, are usually relatively low, and are created where winds from many different directions meet. The shifting pattern of the air currents creates a writhing shape with many radial arms of sand. 8tar dunes seldom change and do not move far or Euic%ly, and for this reason they serve as e!cellent landmar%s in the deep desert. $hen the desert is open and not covered in dunes, it is usually a flat or rolling e!panse of yellow sand as endless as the 8ea of 8ilt. Dunes are relatively solid, for all their tendency to collapse, but open sand is much more difficult to traverse. The conditions are brutal and e!hausting, much li%e wading through
8crub plains are small tracts of dusty land dotted with clumps of grass, thorny bushes, and occasionally even spindly trees. These tracts are relatively scarce in the Tablelands, and valued for their relative fertility. Most city/states grew in the center of an especially large scrub plain, and rely on them for the agriculture that supplies the population, but there are others scattered around the Tyr Falley which are uncultivated. 2ecause the scrub provides the best forage available, herders tend to overgra4e these plains, stripping the land of all foliage and reducing it to a barren or sandy waste. $hat herders do not destroy from their ignorance, defilers often annihilate from greed. Although the scrub plains are not lush by any ob>ective standard, they contain more vegetation than nearly any other Athasian terrain. 2ecause of this, defilers are often attracted to these areas when first learning their blac% arts or see%ing a magic/rich refuge. 2etween these twin pressures, it is a wonder that there are any scrub plains at all in the Tablelands. The survivors are defended either by the sorcerer/monarchs or druids. The former strictly enforce the laws against defiling in their farmlands, %nowing the inevitable conseEuences of destroying their cities' food supply. The outlying scrublands are often inhabited by a druid, who will defend his territory from encroaching defilers with incredible ferocity. Druids are more friendly toward
1!
herders, but always prioriti4e the good of the land over the herders' livelihood. The fertility of the scrub plains ma%e them a natural home for all sorts of creatures and people. Their scarcity ma%e them a source of conflict, more often than not. #erder tribes have engaged in all/out wars over foraging grounds, and >o4hal and gith view this terrain as ideal. "ases are relatively common in scrub plains, which helps account for their fertility, and they also tend to receive more rainfall than normal. A scrub plain which has seen recent rain is instantly recogni4able, as it is usually covered with Euic%/growing ground cover and wild flowers. Most plants in a scrub plain are edible for any creature, though dwarves and halflings should avoid anything with purple spots.
To the east of the Tablelands lies an enormous basin %nown as the 8ea of 8ilt. illed with tiny particles of dust and silt, this enormous and intimidating geographic feature commands the same awe as the half/mythical oceans of the distant past. 8imilar bodies can be found inland, albeit much smaller. 3ollectively, they are %nown as silt basins, although the 8ea of 8ilt is truly a silt ocean for any practical purpose. 8ilt basins are very similar to la%es of water= they are mostly flat, they have moon/lin%ed tides, and heavy ob>ects sin% to the bottom. This last characteristic represents the true danger of silt basins. Their bottoms are rarely less than feet down, and any unwary creature that steps out onto the seemingly/solid dust will fall through it as rapidly as if it were Euic%sand. 8uch an e!perience is almost always fatal 7 the bones of all sorts of beings are carried ashore at high tide. "n the rare still day, silt basins loo% li%e endless plains of shining powder, usually pushed by previous wind currents into enormous dunes. Gsually, however, a silt basin is not even visible. The slightest bree4e stirs up a silvery pall of dust that clings to the surface li%e fog. 9t becomes impossible to tell where the silt/laden air ends and the dust/bed begins. A stronger wind can raise a vast cloud of dust that obscures vision as thoroughly as the worst sandstorm. "n these days the silt claims many victims, who wal%ed too near the edge of the sea and fall into a
deep silt drift, never to see the surface again. 8trong silt/storms bloc% out the sun entirely for a day or more after the wind itself has died, and it may ta%e as much as a wee% before the dust has settled out of the air. The giant clans of the 8ea of 8ilt have, over the centuries, maintained their freedom by ensuring that they alone %now the safe crossings of the 8ea's estuaries. A giant's height allows him to cross through most blowouts and siltdrops without danger, and over time, the giants have literally stamped out solid pathways beneath the ever/shifting layers of surface silt. These safeways are winding and treacherous, and are never taught to non/giants. iant lore%eeepers pride themselves in their %nowledge of the safeways, which are passed down through the communities in a comple! oral tradition that is incomprehensible to outsiders.
8tony barrens are the most common type of terrain in the Tablelands. They consist primarily of large sheets of e!posed bedroc% 7 mostly orange/red sandstone. "f course, the bedroc% is constantly weathered away, so the barrens are littered with stones ranging in si4e from pebbles to boulders. arge areas of roc% are covered by a thic% layer of red dirt, as well as waist/ high drifts of coarse orange sand and puffy heaps of yellow dust. Most travelers prefer to avoid the open ground of barrens, for wandering off a well/worn path ta%es one into a field of loose roc%s, which ma%e for treacherous footing. arge beasts simply grind the stones to powder, but most humanoids must move carefully along the roc% fields, and vehicles will see their a!les snap and their wheels pulveri4ed within a few miles. or every roc% in the stony barrens, there are a do4en thorns. 3actus grows everywhere and in every conceivable shape= needles, twisted masses of ground/ hugging tubes, tall spine/covered barrels rising as high as twenty feet with tree/li%e limbs. Many of these cacti are sources of both food and water, provided you are willing to wor% your way past their thorns, provided that you are familiar with the cactus. An un%nown cactus is more threat than opportunity. Many cacti are to!ic, and some even shoot poisoned needles at passing animals. The infamous cannibal cactus e!pels a cloud of paraly4ing gas before its roots

shoot up from the dirt and consume its now/helpless prey. The assassin cactus may be even more horrible, as its long, willowy tendrils conceal mobile needles that drive into the flesh of any creature they touch, there to move through the body to impale the heart. $hen moving off of a road or other path in stony barrens, any creature smaller than argantuan treats the land as difficult terrain. All vehicles treat the land as difficult terrain in such conditions, and have a cumulative 0 chance per mile traveled of brea%ing an a!le, wheel, or other critical component. or e!ample, a wagon that travels mile off/road in stony barrens has a 0 chance of brea%age after the first mile. 9f it then travels a second mile, once it completes that travel, it must roll again with a chance of brea%age. A successful 1rofession Cdriver chec% CD3 0 reduces the brea%age chance by ; such a chec% may be made every mile.
?orth of the Tyr Falley, through the gaping passes of the Binging Mountains, the land Euic%ly grows strange and unnatural. 9t still holds all the normal dangers of the wasteland, where appropriate, but all things are subtly changed. $anderers have returned with tales of stone mesas that melt into the ground during the day and reform by the ne!t dawn, of strangely verdant trees growing happily in salt flats that seem to move if you loo% away, and of all manner of deformed and altered creatures. The effects are mild at first, but the further north one travels, the stranger and more perilous the land becomes. 8ome say that a great, pristine spire stands far to the north, and that the changes are all the result of ancient magic tied to that spire. "thers claim that a defiler of supreme power, perhaps another Dragon, has gone mad and shaped the chaotic landscape to suit his twisted nightmares. $hatever the cause, any traveler %nows that the north is an unpredictable and dangerous place.
The weather and environment of Athas are >ust as much a danger as monsters or raiders. 8helter can protect travelers from its worst ravages, as can some of the speciali4ed items shown in the -Euipment chapter.
The greatest defense, however, is %nowledge. The ability to watch a storm front and predict its path and intensity can save lives and fortunes out in the wastes.
"ne of the most feared ha4ards of the desert is the sandstorm, strong windstorms which throw ash, sand, silt, or other gritty materials at high speeds. A typical sandstorm lasts for several hours, but it may ta%e a day or even longer for the dust to settle out of the s%y. 3ontrary to popular belief, normal duststorms and sandstorms do not bury people alive. The accumulation does not occur so Euic%ly as to prevent escape or digging, but a sandstorm can still suffocate and %ill victims by burying them under the accumulation. 8uffocation, in fact, is the greatest danger of most sandstorms, followed by the e!haustion and pain caused by the swift/moving particles hitting the body. 8ee the table above for the effects of high winds and sandstorms. $uststorms) Duststorms arise in waste areas when the wind speed rises above ( miles per hour.

Most people immediately thin% of sand dunes when they imagine the desert, but in fact only the sandy wastes of Athas contain any notable dunes. 8and dunes are wandering things, although they travel no more than a few hundred feet each year. This is enough to eventually overrun other types of terrain, but rarely an immediate ha4ard. #owever, the constant action of wind on sand produces potentially ha4ardous situations.
Shallo. Sand) 8hallow sand is more common than deep sand. Areas covered by this terrain have a layer of loose sand about foot deep. 8hallow sand counts as difficult terrain. $eep Sand) Deep sand is most often found deep in the heart of sandy wastes, though it is also common where a sandstorm has >ust passed. 3reatures unfamiliar with the desert often mista%e deep sand for Euic%sand, though it bottoms out several feet down. Areas covered by this terrain have a layer of loose sand up to ( feet deep. 9t costs Medium or larger creatures ( sEuares of movement to move into a sEuare with deep sand, and creatures 8maller than Medium must spend ) sEuares of movement to do so. 9t is not possible to use the Acrobatics s%ill to tumble in areas of deep sand. Sand Crust) A sand crust appears as normal solid ground. Gsually formed from a hardened crust of dried mud or salt, sand crusts sometimes cover areas of shallow or deep sand. 8and crusts cannot support more than lbs., and anything above that limit falls through the crust and must deal with the effects of shallow sand or deep sand, as appropriate. 3reatures moving through an area of sand crust leave a trail in their wa%e, turning the sand crust sEuares they pass through into shallow or deep sand sEuares. A successful 8urvival chec% CD3 can identify sand crusts. Collapse) A sand dune has a long, shallow bac% slope shaped by the wind and a sharp leading edge

A successful D3 + 1erception chec% can give characters advance warning of the collapse when it is still d ! 0 feat away, away, though lines of sight that long are less than common in the deep desert. 9f all characters fail their 1erception chec%, the collapse moves closer and they automatically become aware when it closes to half the original distance. At that distance, the sound of the collapse, a heavy slithering noise, becomes very obvious. 9n loud conditions, such s uch as in the middle of a sandstorm, characters might need to ma%e another 1erception to hear the collapse. CD3 0 or higher, depending on the conditions. A dune collapse consists of two distinct areas= the bury 4one Cin the direct path of the sand mass and the slide 4one Cthe area that the sand spreads to encompass. A typical collapse has a width of d* ! feet from one edge of the slide 4one to the other, with a bury 4one half that si4e precisely in the middle. To determine the location of the 13s, roll d* ! +; the result is the number of feet from the bury 4one's path to the center of the party's location. 3haracters in the bury 4one cannot avoid ta%ing damage from the collapse, but characters in the slide 4one might be able to avoid serious harm. Anyone in the bury 4one ta%es &d* damage and becomes buried, or only half as much damage with a successful D3 0 Befle! save. 3haracters in the slide 4one ta%e (d* damage, or half as much with a successful s uccessful D3 0 Befle! save. 3haracters in the slide 4one become buried if they fail their save.

Areas of white sand, salt, gypsum, or similar light/colored material reflect the sun's glare into the eyes even without loo%ing directly. directly. 8un glare is doubly dangerous in the winter, when the sun is low on the hori4on and thus difficult to avoid loo%ing at. 3haracters traveling in the wasteland must cover their eyes with a veil or a similar covering, or ma%e use of the alchemical compound blac%eye to avoid sun glare. Those without eye protection are automatically da44led.

Many %inds of waste terrain in Athas have been created by supernatural means, usually as the result of disastrous defiling bac%fires. 9n such places, magical and supernatural perils add even more formidable ha4ards to those of the mudane waste. 'la#.inds) 8ometimes, 'la#.inds) 8ometimes, winds from the north sweep down with an unnatural speed, carrying anything from ordinary sand to cutting glass shards. 9n other places, a natural sandstorm that crosses magic/blighted land might be amplified by the magic into an awful maelstrom. 8uch storms are called flaywinds. A typical flaywind flaywind lasts for d) ! hours, often hovering malevolently over a single area. laywinds are always storms of at least sandstorm grade, but with much worse effects. 3reatures and ob>ects caught in a flaywind ta%e d* damage per round from the cutting force of the wind. $earing heavy clothing or any form of armor reduces the damage to d) points per round. 9n general, creatures in an area about to be struc% by a flaywind are entitled to a 8urvival 8urvival chec% CD3 + to receive minute of warning before the storm engulfs them. This might not be enough time to escape the storm's path, but it could provide a chance to see% shelter or ma%e other preparations. ;lass!ields) Fery ;lass!ields) Fery high temperatures can melt sand into glass. ightning stro%es or magical flames can produce small regions of bro%en glass, while a sustained all of fire spell might create a wide e!panse of fused sand that stretches for miles. The Dead ands are most notable glassfield in Athas, covering hundreds of sEuare miles. Traveling across a glassfield is treacherous. The surface is as slic% as an ice sheet, and counts as difficult terrain. 8egments are often fractured, with >agged shards stic%ing out in all directions along huge

A leech salt flat appears to be normal terrain to ordinary sight, although it radiates a faint aura of necromancy. necromancy. iving creatures that travel across a leech salt field reEuire five time as much water as normal, as the environment draws the moisture from their bodies. Those who run out of water are in even more danger, however however..

The 3erulean 8torm periodically spins off small storm fronts, which move rapidly over the 8ea of 8ilt in an unpredictable pattern. 8ome of these storms come to land in the Tyr Falley, where they are called Tyr/8torms. Tyr/8torms. A Tyr/8torm is a hurricane of incredible power, with the normal destructive force of its winds augmented by an unearthly cold and lightning stri%es so constant that they almost form walls of electricity rather than discrete bolts. Treat a Tyr/8torm as a tornado/force wind, which causes a sandstorm if the environment permits. The environment inside a Tyr/ 8torm is below /0O , ma%ing it an area of -!treme 3old. All creatures inside a Tyr/8torm ta%e +d& damage each round from the free4ing rain, hail, and ever/present lightning stri%es. Tyr/8torms tend to flatten anything in their path, though the power of the sorcerer/%ings has %ept them well away from the city/ states and their valuable croplands. A Tyr/8torm Tyr/8torm covers a d* mile radius at any given moment, though its e!act shape and si4e change unpredictably. The storms move Euic%ly, but are instantly recogni4able and usually allow characters appro!imately fifteen minutes to find what shelter they may. A Tyr/8torm usually covers a single area for no more than 0d* minutes, after which time its movement has dragged it away. The ,anish %r6#torm spell allows a character to redirect the path of a Tyr/ 8torm.

talents or courage to become adventurers, the one career path that grants real social mobility. -ven in ree Tyr, e!treme poverty is the norm. The average free Athasian laborer ma%es roughly ) 3p each wee% 7 barely enough to cover poor food, enough water to survive, and the normally usurious rent payments. 3hild labor is very common, and an economic necessity for most families. This is >ust as true in Tyr as any other city/state; Tyr's famed glass industry is built on the Canemic bac%s of child glass/blowers, who can be trained to blow simple ob>ects and are less of a loss when they die from lead poisoning. 1rostitution is omni/present, and while most whores are slaves, some are women and men who have a desperate need for income, whatever its origin. $hile se! is not especially taboo or restricted in most Athasian cities, the conditions of the average brothel are too terrible to ma%e many inclined to ta%e up the prostitute's trade. Members of the psionic academies and merchant houses have e!pense accounts and guarantees of basic necessities, both at their homes and wherever they might travel. The houses and academies have a controlling interest in many businesses, and mil% their stoc%s for all the money that they may. Gnfortunately, the politics of these organi4ations are scarcely less brutal than those of the Templarate, and members must scheme constantly to maintain their positions, much less improve their lot. Thus, it is only the nobles and high/ran%ing officials that have anything resembling a stable lifestyle, and they are sure to ma%e the most of their advantage. The power of the nobility varies greatly between each city/state, from Baam, where the nobles often have as much authority as the Templarate, to old Tyr, where @ala% once held the livelihood of the upper class in an iron fist. 9n all cities, however, anyone deserving the title of

ater) $ater is the giver of life, but the elemental lords of water give of their gifts only grudgingly. The 1lane of $ater has suffered terribly, as the devastation of the Athasian environment resonated across the planar bridge. $ater clerics protect and preserve what water remains, often rationing it against greater need. Despite this, water clerics are beloved as restorers and healers, for the waters of their calling follow where they go.
Magic in Athas is relatively scarce and universally feared, while psionic powers are a common and accepted part of life. $hile the supernatural is Euite common in Athas, it follows somewhat different strictures than those described in the Pathfinder Core Rules.
Divine magic is granted to the practitioner by a specific outside power 7 either a being of great power, such as a sorcerer/monarch, or the chaotic energies of the elemental planes. A divine spellcaster %nows all spells on her class list. 3lerics have access to domains, which provide additional spells %nown. 8ee the 3lasses chapter for details on the spells provided by domains. -!cept as noted in this chapter, divine magic wor%s e!actly as described in the Pathfinder Core Rules.
-lemental magic is the most common source of
The paraelements e!ist as dar% shadows of the true elements, admi!tures of multiple elements infused with the eldritch essence of the 2lac%. The paraelements are not evil, but they are ambitious, and see% to overthrow the true elementals as the primary governors of Athasian life. 1araelemental worshippers are more li%ely to care about power, and more li%ely to draw their powers from individual beings rather than the impersonal energy of the plane. Magma) Though volcanic activity is rare in the Tyr Falley, both the twisted lands to the north and the Dead ands are home to many followers of Magma. 3lerics of Magma emphasi4e the ine!orable power of their element, and allow nothing to stand between themselves and their goals. Rain) Bain is the wea%est element of Athas, for all that the parched land cries for it. Bain clerics revel in the fury of their patron's storms. They believe that all creation is balanced by destruction, and love the storm for its personification of that duality. Bain clerics are less beloved than water clerics, but most will argue that the source of the water is irrelevant ne!t to its sheer e!istence. Silt) 8ilt worshippers may be found all along the 8ilt 8ea. They protect villages by %eeping silt storms at bay, and are in great demand for their ability to see% out the giants' safeways through the 8ea. 8ilt worshippers tend to be highly pragmatic and ruthless, and are %nown to turn to piracy to supplement their lifestyle. Sun) 8urely the most powerful element in the wastes, the 8un is a deadly danger to all life. 8un
1!
worshippers are Euic% to ta%e offense, and believe that they are >ustified in burning down those who oppose them. The paraelemental lords of 8un desire to reduce Athas even further, to scour it of life until it is nought but an endless, sun/scorched desert. 1eople who follow the 8un usually do so for power, without care for the conseEuences for others. 8un clerics are the only ones li%ely to consort with defilers.
1rimal magic is functionally identical to divine magic, but instead of being drawn from a specific being or e!traplanar force, the power and %nowledge for primal magic is drawn from the land. Druids and rangers cast primal spells. i%e divine spellcasters, a primal spellcaster automatically %nows all spells on her class list. Druids are able to gain the powers of cleric domains, but their power still comes from the land rather than an e!ternal agent. 1rimal magic uses techniEues very similar to divine magic. 1rimal spellcasters count as divine spellcasters for the purpose of feats, prestige classes, and other things which reEuire divine magic.
Arcane magic reEuires intense study, and its power comes from the life/force of living things. "nly wi4ards can cast arcane spells; they are also %nown as
Arcane spells are divided into three categories= 8imple, 3omple!, and -!otic. -ach category represents the comple!ity of the spell and how widely it is %nown among mages. #imple spells are the easiest and most common. They reEuire the least understanding of the nature of magic and the simplest words and gestures. $i4ards %now all 8imple spells automatically. Complex spells reEuire a genuine understanding of
magical theory, as well as greater mental focus and more comple! words and gestures. 8pecialist wi4ards %now 3omple! spells from si! schools; universalist wi4ards %now all 3omple! spells. Exotic spells are the most complicated and rarest spells of all. Most -!otic spells are the uniEue creation of a single mage. ew mages are willing to share the %nowledge of an -!otic spell. 8pecialist wi4ards cannot learn or create an -!otic spell from an opposed school. earning another mage's -!otic spell reEuires a series of 8pellcraft chec%s, which must be made in succession. The caster must spend eight hours studying the spell, after which he may ma%e a 8pellcraft chec% CD3 0 twice the spell's level. #e must succeed on one such chec% per level of the spell; after doing so, he may record the spell in his spellboo% and may ready and cast it as his own. ?o more than one day may pass between each 8pellcraft chec%, or the entire process is wasted and must be underta%en from the beginning.
The inevitable danger of arcane magic is its reliance upon, and damage to, the local environment. Most communities fear mages for their tendency to defile. All plants near a spellcasting defiler turn into blac% ash, without even the useful properties of ordinary ash. ?othing can grow in a defiled area for years. -ven if the ash is blown away, the ground beneath remains lifeless and barren. The common people of Athas revile defilers out of superstitious dread, but the learned also shun defiling magic for the desolation it creates. Many believe that the world was once green and flowing with life, and that it was mages who turned this paradise into the wasteland that is now Athas. They are not wrong.

the power of those spells, based on the abundance of plant life. 2arren and desolate terrains wea%en spells, while fertile regions empower them. The table above shows the effects of terrain. 8ome regions, most notably the Dead ands and the rey, have no plant life at all. 9f arcane spellcasters have no other energy sources, they are unable to cast spells in these areas.
All casters must read spells before they can cast them. This simply means choosing the spells that they will be able to access when the time comes to use their spell slots to cast them. 9n effect, the caster is mystically
All spellcasters cast their spells spontaneously, and therefore must ta%e a full/round action to cast any spell modified by a metamagic feat. 3asters with the Metamagic 1reparation feat can choose to ready spells modified by metamagic feats. Thus, an empoered ,urning hands Ca st/level spell modified by a + level metamagic feat would occupy a ( rd/level readied slot. 8pells readied with metamagic feats cannot be cast without those feats, but they can be cast using their normal casting time. Defiling while casting a metamagic/enhanced e!tends the spell's casting time to one full round Cthat is, the spell ta%es effect at the beginning of the caster's ne!t turn. Gse of the Metamagic 1reparation, ast Ba4e, andIor 9nstantaneous Ba4e feats can reduce this time.
ower/level spell slots can be woven together to power a higher/level spell, if the caster can cast spells
of the higher level. A caster can combine three slots of one level to cast one spell of the ne!t higher level. 3onversely, she can convert the energy of one spell slot of a higher level to power two spells of the ne!t lower level. ?o spellcaster is able to
$here magic uses energy from outside the caster, psionics focuses the manifester's own power to create its effects. 1sionicists tal% of the $ill and the $ay as their primary tools. The former is the energy and focus that the manifester brings to the tas% of using psionic abilities; the latter is the set of disciplines and e!ercises that the manifester uses to focus his $ill. The $ay is taught in psionic academies found in every city in the Tablelands, ma%ing psionics the most common form of supernatural power on Athas. -!cept as noted in this chapter, psionics function e!actly as described in the Expanded Psionics $and,ook.
9n Athas, psionics and magic are fundamentally different forces that do not interact well with one another. Gse the following guidelines to determine how magical effects interact with psionics, and vice versus. $etection) Detect magic does not detect psionic auras. Detect psionics does not detect magical auras. ?ew spells and powers have been introduced to perform these functions. $ispelling) 9t is difficult for magic to remove psionic effects. $hen using dispel magic or similar spells against psionic effects, the caster ta%es a /0 penalty to his caster level chec% to dispel. The same is true for a manifester using dispel psionics against a magical effect. Dispel psionics cannot be used to counterspell against spells, and dispel magic cannot be used to counterspell against psionic powers. &egating 'ields) An antimagic field or similar effect does not prevent the use of psionic powers. A null psionics field does not bloc% spellcasting.
1!$
Resistance) 8pell resistance does not have any effect against psionic powers. 1ower resistance does not have any effect against spells. Many creatures now have both spell resistance and power resistance.
Any character with a power point reserve has the ability to tap an internal reservoir of psychic energy. This ability is represented by the psionic focus. Many psionic class features and feats reEuire that the user either maintain or e!pend his psionic focus. aining psionic focus reEuires a standard action to perform a rapid meditative seEuence. "nce a character has gained psionic focus, he does not lose it until he chooses to e!pend it Cunless he has the Gnfocused flaw; see the 3haracter "ptions chapter for details. Any psionic character can e!pend their psionic focus to ta%e 0 on a concentration chec%. 9t can also be e!pended to activate certain psionic feats and class abilities. The 8wift ocus feat allows a character to gain psionic focus as a move action.
Talents are psionic powers that manifesters can use without limit. Talents do not cost power points to manifest, and cannot be augmented or benefit from metapsionic feats. 9n all other respects, talents are identical to powers.

Conjuration (Creations) [Acid] Level: Decaying Touch 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. / level) Area: 20 ft. cube Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: No A mustard–colored cloud whirls into being. It unleashes a foul–smelling rain accompanied by sizzling noises as it eats through metal, cloth and flesh. A toxic shower covers the area of effect. Anything caught beneath the rain takes 4d4 points of acid damage. It is easy to move out of the cube, but if a creature cannot, it continues to take damage for each round spent in the rain. If a creature fails its saving throw, an item it holds could take damage, as if the creature had rolled a natural 1 (PH 177). Unattended objects also take damage from the falling acid. When the spell expires the acid that had rained down instantly evaporates.
Transmutation [Air] Level: Tmp 5, Sun Flare 5 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Magical lens Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw: No Spell Resistance: Yes A lens flare appears in the sky as you raise your divine focus to harness the power of the sun, accompanied by the smell of burnt hide. You shape the air into a magical lens that you can use to direct intensified sunrays. If sunlight becomes unavailable, the spell prematurely ends. You can make ranged touch attacks with the air lens. It uses your base attack bonus (possibly allowing multiple attacks per round). The lens inflicts 2d6 points of fire damage +1 per caster level. Creatures that are especially vulnerable to sunlight (such as some undead) take double damage. You can use an air lens attack to ignite unattended combustible materials such as dry sticks, straw, parchment and cloth.

Evocation Level: Drd 6 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level A tangible, glowing, white–green aura surrounds you like a sheath of flame and your eyes glow with life–giving energy as you are infused with the protective powers of the spirits of the land. You call upon the spirits of the land to protect you from harm. You receive 1 temporary hit point per caster level and a +5 enhancement bonus to your natural armor bonus. You ignore the first 15 points of energy damage per round. (For example, if you take 13 points of fire damage and then 5 points of electricity damage, you suffer only 3 points of electricity damage that round).
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drd 6, Living Waters 6 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 hour Range: See text Target: 1 body of water; see text Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Your touch sends ripples through the water. A tingling sensation fills your mind as you witness the sentience of the summoned water spirit coming to life. You give sentience to a natural body of water. To awaken a body of water, you must touch the water’s surface while calling on a water spirit. You can communicate with any body of water that you have awakened from any distance on the same plane. Awakened water spirits are initially friendly towards you, but not obliged to follow you. The awakened water spirit has no offensive or defensive combat ability and cannot move; it has no Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution score. The awakened water spirit has an Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma of 3d6. The water spirit can sense any creature within 200 feet of its location. The water spirit can also channel spells cast by you. Any spell of 3rd level or lower can be cast through the water spirit as if the caster was actually the location of the water spirit. The water spirit must be willing for you to use this function of the spell. Dispel magic and similar spells and powers destroy the water spirit if successful—the water spirit gets no saving throw to resist being dispelled. The spirit is treated as a 10–Hit Dice creature for purposes of turning and rebuking water creatures.
Abjuration Level: Drd 1, Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 40–ft–radius spread (S) Duration: 1 day/level or until discharged (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes The ground glows with a translucent sheen of green light, as you complete the casting of the preserver’s scourge. Also known as the preserver’s scourge , this spell makes the ground dangerous to defilers. Should a defiler try to tap into land that is protected by a backlash, she automatically takes 1d6+1 points of damage for every two caster levels you have (maximum 5d6+5). The defiler must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + spell level + damage dealt) in order to continue casting her spell. Once it has inflicted damage, the spell is discharged and the ground returns to normal. Only one backlash can be cast on any given plot of ground. Material Component: A thorn.
Abjuration Level: Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Holding up your blue lens, you feel the power of the Tyr Storm surging through you. At your trembling command the storm changes the direction of its destructive wake. This spell repels Tyr–storms from a particular area. You are able to force the storm to leave its normal path and head off in a direction of your choice. The storm continues to rage and causes normal damage wherever it goes, but the spell allows you keep it out of an area you want to protect. Focus: A blue lens worth 100 Cp.
Conjuration (Healing) Level: Tmp 2 Components: V, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None (harmless) Spell Resistance: No (harmless)

You call upon the power of your king to save those who have fallen on the battlefield, who have yet to succumb to the Grey. Their bloody and battered bodies continue to breathe for a little longer. You stabilize each selected, dying creature within range. A dying creature has between –1 and –9 current hit points. Upon stabilization they lose no further hit points. The spell has no effect on undead creatures.
Divination Level: Drd 1, Tmp 1 Components: V, S, F, DF Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Long (400 ft, + 40 ft./level) Area: Circle, centered on you, with a radius of 400 ft. + 40 ft./level. Target: One corpse within range Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No A cold breeze carrying the scent of rotting flesh raises the hairs on your neck. Its direction reveals the direction of the corpse you seek if it is nearby. This spell allows helps you determine the direction of one specific corpse (animal or otherwise) within the spell’s radius. If the corpse is within range, you sense the direction to the corpse. Focus: An item which belonged to or has been in contact with the corpse.
Evocation [Fire] Level: Smoldering Spirit 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 min./level (D) Your body bursts into magnificent flames as you call upon the true power of Fire. A wreath of divine flame surrounds you and leaves a fiery trail behind you as you move, devouring everything in your path. Your body is shrouded in flames that damage opponents and protect you. Any creature within 10 feet of you takes 2d8 points of fire damage each round on your turn. Any creature that strikes you with an unarmed attack or with a natural weapon catches on fire (DMG 303). Any nonmagical weapon that strikes you must make a Reflex save or be destroyed. The flames grant you damage reduction 15/magic, and total immunity to fire. When you move, a blazing wall forms in your wake in each square you pass through. The
blazing wall deals 2d6 points of fire damage +1 point of fire damage per caster level (maximum +20) to any creature passing through it. The blazing wall dissipates when the spell ends. The blazing wreath produces light as a daylight spell (bright light in a 60–foot radius, shadowy illumination for an additional 60 feet).
Transmutation [Good] Level: Clr 1 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Element touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates (object) Spell Resistance: Yes (object) You channel divine energy into a physical manifestation of your element. It glows for a moment as it is charged with positive power. This transmutation imbues a small amount (no more than 1 lb of solid, or 1 pint of fluid) of your patron element with positive energy, turning it into a holy element. Holy elements deal 2d4 points of damage to creatures vulnerable to them, such as undead and evil outsiders. Using a holy element in this way expends the positive energy. No matter the element, it functions as a grenade–like weapon with a range increment of 10 ft. and deals 1 point of splash damage to creatures within 5 ft. of impact. Specifics for the elements follow: Air: An air cleric can bless the air around him. After this spell is cast, the air remains blessed for 1d4 minutes. As a standard action, the cleric can direct the blessed air at a creature. Earth: An earth cleric can bless dirt, soil or sand. Fire: A fire cleric can bless flames (ranging in size from candles to torches) or obsidian. Blessed fire may deal fire damage in addition to any damage to undead or evil outsiders. Magma: A magma cleric can bless lava or any igneous rock. Blessed lava may deal fire damage in addition to any damage to undead or evil outsiders. Rain: A rain cleric can bless rain in a 5‐ft.–radius area within 30 ft. that is currently receiving rain. Silt: A silt cleric can bless silt or dust. Sun: A sun cleric can bless the light around him. The light remains blessed for 1d4 minutes. As a standard action, the cleric can direct the blessed light at a creature. Water: A water cleric can bless water in a flask. Alternatively, he can throw a small amount of water into the air. This water forms a blessed cloud that lasts 1d4 minutes and can be directed as a standard action. Material Component: A small amount of powdered silver worth 25 Cp.

Evocation [Fire] Level: Smoldering Spirit 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (200 ft. + 20 ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude save partial Spell Resistance: Yes As you hold out your palm and utter incantations of fire, your enemy’s face is engulfed in painful crimson flames that scorch his eyes. The smell of charred flesh and burnt hair fills the air. You burn the face of one opponent. The subject takes 1d4 points of fire damage per level (maximum 10d4) and is permanently blinded. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage and negates the blindness.
Necromancy Level: Drd 3, Wiz 3 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. per level) Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes You viciously slice the air in front of you with a boneclaw knife. Wounds appear on your target’s flesh, which bleed profusely. The victim of the boneclaw s cut suffers wounds as if from a boneclaw’s talons. The victim receives one cut per four caster levels (to a maximum of five cuts at 20th level). Each cut inflicts 2 point of damage and continues to bleed, dealing an additional 2 points of damage per round for 10 rounds (for a total of 20 points of damage per cut). A successful Heal check (DC 15) or use of a cure spell prevents the wounds from bleeding further. Focus: A knife made from a boneclaw’s talon. ʹ
Transmutation Level: Drd 2, Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature or object Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes
The targeted bones emit a cracking sound as they swell. You complete the gestures for your spell, spilling mortar from your hand. When this spell is cast, it causes bone to harden and become less brittle. Bones under the affect of this spell are harder to break than normal. If used on an inferior bone weapon, this spell removes the normal penalties to attack rolls. If cast on a creature, the creature’s bones harden, causing them to ache and the joints to swell. This gives the creature a –4 penalty to Dexterity. Creatures without a skeleton (elementals, oozes, plants and most constructs) are unaffected by this spell. Material Component: A bit of mortar.
Transmutation Level: Clr 6, Drd 5, Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 min./level (D) Your skin hardens into chitin plates that grant you natural protection, and spikes grow on your body, emerging from your skin with a burst of pain. You get a +5 enhancement bonus to natural armor, but you suffer a –2 penalty to Dexterity and an additional 20% chance of arcane spell failure. The spikes act as +5 armor spikes , and you gain proficiency with them. You also gain damage reduction 10/metal. Material Component: A piece of braxat hide.
Divination [Air] Level: Ill Winds 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 min/level You inhale the air from the breeze, becoming attuned to the scents and flavors carried on it. Your sense of smell become as keen as a klar’s – a new world of sensory impressions opens to you. You gain the scent ability ( MM 314) allowing you to notice creatures by scent at a 30–foot distance (60 feet if downwind, 15 feet if upwind). In addition, you can track by scent and gain a +4 competence bonus on Survival checks to track. You get a +4 competence bonus on Craft (poisonmaking) checks to identify poisons. Enhanced scent even gives you a limited reading of the emotions of others—fear has a distinct smell, for example. You get a +4 competence bonus on Sense Motive checks if you are within 10 feet of the person that you are observing. With a
144
successful Wisdom check (DC 15) with a +4 competence bonus, you can determine by scent whether a person is a defiler, freeman, slave, templar, or noble. Elemental priests who can cast this spell claim that defilers carry a bitter scent of smoldering flesh, that nobles can be noted by the faint lingering smell of luxurious spices in their skin, etc.
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Wiz 5, Cold Malice 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 20‐ft.–radius spread Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Reflex half and special (see text) Spell Resistance: No When you let a drop of water fall into a pinch of dust, a deep blue–black cloud forms over the area and it rains blue hailstones that fall with a piercing scream. The hailstones deal 1d6 points of damage per caster level to all creatures and structures in the area of effect (maximum 15d6). Half the damage is cold damage, and the other half is bludgeoning damage. Creatures who make a successful Reflex save reduce the damage by half. The cloud remains for one full round, but the hailstones are instantaneous – they fall only once and evaporate upon impact. All creatures with 10 HD or less who come within 60 feet of the cloud must make a Will save or become panicked for 1d4 rounds, fleeing from the storm. Material Component: A drop of water mixed with a pinch of dust.
Evocation [Electricity] Level: Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level (D) or until discharged Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes The air hums and tiny electrical discharges spring from the body of your target. Setting the charge, you wait for your enemy to make the mistake of moving. The target of this spell is imbued with static electricity. If the target leaves its occupied square, the built–up electrical charge is discharged, inflicting 2d6 points of electrical damage, plus another 2d6 per 4 caster levels. If the affected creature touches someone or something before the spell is discharged, both the target and whatever it touched receives the damage.
Material Component: Small piece of glass and a clump of fur.
Conjuration [Air] Level: Ill Winds 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 15 ft. Area: Cone–shaped burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: No You draw in a deep breath and expel it towards your opponents. Noxious odors are channeled through your breath and ejected in a vile cone of stench. All breathing creatures within the cone must make a Fortitude save. Those who fail become nauseated for 1d6 rounds. Those who succeed instead become sickened for 1d6 rounds. Creatures with 5 or more Hit Dice are immune to this effect.
Necromancy Level: Drd 3, Rgr 3, Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) You feel an intense pain as vicious claws spring forth from your hands, similar to those of a tembo. You grow vicious claws similar to those of a tembo. You may make two claw attacks per round, each dealing 1d6 (1d8 if you are Large, or 1d4 if you are Small) points of damage plus your Strength modifier. Like the dreaded tembo, your claws can drain a victimʹs life force and transfer it to you. Every time you hit with a claw, the creature struck must make a Fortitude save. If it fails, it takes an additional 1d4 points of damage, and you heal that many hit points. If the transferred hit points bring your total above your normal maximum, the additional hit points are temporary hit points. You are unable to cast spells with somatic components while this spell is in effect. Material Component: A scale from a tembo.

Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes
By performing a throwing gesture as you complete the spell, you launch an arrow–shaped, pure, white flame. A hissing noise is heard as it darts towards its target. You create a bolt of flame that strikes its target, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). This spell can only affect defilers, templars whose sorcerer‐kings are defilers, creatures with the defiled template, creatures with the evil subtype, and undead. The bolt strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can’t be singled out. A creature killed by this spell has its remains utterly consumed (but not its equipment and possessions). The only way to restore life to a creature that was killed in this way is to use wish , true resurrection , reality revision , or miracle.
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drd 2, Living Waters 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: 1 gallon of water/level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Impurities and imperfections are removed, as you change the regular water into a truer elemental form with your magic. You make water twice as effective at quenching thirst and nourishing plant life. A creature only needs to drink half as much clear water as it would need to drink normal water. For example, an active human needs only 1/2 gallon of clear water each day to avoid dehydration, instead of the normal one gallon. When used to grow plants, clear water can double the yield of fruit or grain– bearing plants, but this benefit only comes if clear water is used to irrigate the crop every day.
Evocation [Force] Level: Drd 3, Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 50 ft. Area: Cone–shaped burst Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes
A roaring stream of force spreads from your fingertip towards your enemies, deflecting their arrows before slamming them off their feet. This spell functions like gust of wind; except that the effect is force–based and that the creature sizes affected by the spell are increased by one size category (i.e. Large creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the blast). The roaring blast is sufficient to tear objects from unsuspecting hands within the area of effect. (A Reflex save allows a creature to maintain its grasp on an object.) Arrows, bolts, and spears are deflected away and miss. (A giant–thrown boulder, a siege engine projectile, and other massive ranged weapons are not affected.) Incorporeal creatures, gases, most gaseous breath weapons, and creatures in gaseous form are shunted away from the area of the blast.
Divination [Fire] Level: Burning Eyes 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Ashes touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You receive a smoky vision of the scene before the moment the item was destroyed by touching its ashes. Echoes of screams resonate within your ears as its fate is revealed. The vision begins from the time the object was destroyed or killed, going backward in time up to 1 min./level. For example, a 4th–level cleric would see the last 4 minutes of the item’s existence. You can also tell whether the object was destroyed by defiler destruction or not. If vegetation destroyed by defiling is tested, you can make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell level) to determine the school of magic cast.
Conjuration [Water] Level: Desert Mirage 4, Drd 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One creature Duration: 24 hours Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Spilling the contents of your waterskin, you watch as mists rise from the ground where the water lands. The mist coalesces around your target, enveloping it in a bluish shroud.
146
You gather a magical mist around a creature. The mist absorbs the first 5 points of damage from any fire–based effects each round. It also provides the same protection against hot weather as the endure elements spell, and grants the creature concealment (20% miss chance) as the blur spell. Further castings of coat of mists do not have any effect, and coat of mist’s damage absorption does not stack with any other kind of energy resistance. Material Component: 1 gallon of water.
Evocation [Fire] Level: Burning Eyes 8, Tmp 7 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 level) Target: 1 creature/round Duration: 1 minute Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes With pupils like glowing embers you turn towards the victims of your interrogation, knowing that your truth is the only that matters. They will confess or die resisting. This spell allows you to demand questions of any creature within range. If the creature does not reply with what you consider to be the correct answer to the question, within one round, part of the creature’s body bursts into flame. While some claim that this spell detects falsehoods, in fact the answer is pre–determined by the caster. Subjects can avoid damage by telling you exactly what you want to hear. Ignorance or silence is no defense. Targets can escape by leaving the spell’s range or by silencing or killing you, preventing you from asking more questions. The spell is limited to 10 questions – one per round. You can pose all the questions to one creature, or shift your questioning to another creature within range, as suits your whim. The first time that a question is answered “incorrectly” (or not answered) a target takes 1d12 fire damage, the second time, 2d12 damage, the third time, 3d12 damage, and so on. A target must answer your question (correctly) within one round or take damage. Focus: An open flame.
Evocation [Fire] Level: Fiery Wrath 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: 20– ft.–radius spread Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: Yes
You grin as this gruesome spell explodes in a fiery burst, setting creatures on fire, incinerating their hair, clothing, and one layer of flesh at a time – slowly roasting them alive. Creatures caught in the blast suffer 10d6 points of fire damage (no save) and automatically catch on fire (DMG 303). Creatures on fire suffer 2d6 points of fire damage for each round. Unlike mundane fire, this fire cannot be put out by normal means. Spraying a creature caught on fire by this spell with water or sand only creates a billowing cloud of steam or hot dust out to 20 ft. from the target; instead of the normal damage, creatures within the cloud suffer 5d6 points of fire damage and are sickened for one round. Complete immersion in a large amount of water, or burial beneath the sand, reduces damage to 1d6 point per round for both the creature on fire and those within 20 ft. A successful dispel magic or quench spell puts out the fire.
Abjuration Level: Drd 2, Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 40‐ft.–radius spread Duration: 1 day/level or until discharged. Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) Upon completing the ritual of ash, blood and water, a mysterious pattern appears on the ground. As it is absorbed by the land, it secures its energy from those who would siphon it. If a defiler tries to use land that is under a conservation spell to power his spells, he must make a Will save or be unable to use the land at all. Even if he succeeds, the land is considered as barren terrain for the purposes of determining the spell’s DC and level check modifier. The area of ash the defiler actually creates when tapping land under a conservation spell is half that of normal. A second attempt to pull power from the same area for the duration of the spell fails completely, regardless of any success achieved the first time. Material Component: A drop of water, a drop of blood, and a sifting of ash.
Transmutation [Water or Earth] Level: Clr 4, Drd 4, Wiz 6, Tmp 6 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: Water or silt in a volume of 10 ft./level x 10 ft./level x 2 ft./level (S) Duration: 10 minutes/level (D) Saving Throw: None: see text Spell Resistance: No
147
Stretching your hands towards the sky and shouting incantations that echo off into the distance, you witness the instant changing of the tide. Depending on the version you choose, the control tides spell raises or lowers the level of water or silt. Lower Tide: This causes silt (or water or similar liquid) to sink away to a minimum depth of 1 inch. The depth can be lowered by up to 2 feet per caster level. The surface is lowered within a squarish depression whose sides are up to 10 feet long per caster level. In extremely large and deep bodies of silt, such as deep in the sea of silt, the spell creates a whirlpool that sweeps ships and similar craft downward, putting them at risk and rendering them unable to leave by normal movement for the duration of the spell. When cast on water or silt elementals and other water– or silt–based creatures, this spell acts as a slow spell (Will negates). The spell has no effect on other creatures. Raise Tide: This causes silt (or water or similar liquid) to rise in height, just as the lower tide version causes it to lower. Silt skimmers raised in this way slide down the sides of the hump that the spell creates. If the area affected by the spell includes riverbanks, a beach, other land near the raised water or silt, the water or silt can spill over onto dry land. With either version, you may reduce one horizontal dimension by half and double the other horizontal dimension. Arcane Material Component: A pinch of dust. Note: This spell replaces the control water spell in the Player’s Handbook.
Abjuration Level: Drd 5 Components: V, S, M, F, XP Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You share the herb concoction with the repentant wizard, establishing a link between the two of you. You take upon yourself the burden of sacrifice to remove his taint. As if sucking poison from a wound, you feel a sharp sting as it courses through your veins, slowly being diluted by your blood until it is gone. This spell removes the burden of acts of defiling from an arcane spellcaster. The wizard seeking atonement must be truly repentant and desirous of setting right their destruction of plant life. If the subject defiled while under some sort of magical or psionic compulsion or was otherwise unwilling, conversion operates normally at no cost to you. However, if the defiling was deliberate and willful, you must expend personal energy to cleanse the subject. This costs the caster 500 experience points to expunge the subject’s taint of defiling. Naturally, many
casters first assign the subject some sort of quest (via geas/quest) or similar penance to make sure the creature is truly repentant before casting conversion on its behalf. The caster must be at least one level higher that the subject. Conversion may be cast for one of several purposes, depending on being cast on a preserver or a defiler: Preserver: This removes all taint of defiling from the spellcaster. Thus, the Will save DC to resist falling to the path of the defiler is now reset to 10 + level of spell cast by defiling. Defiler: A repentant defiler becomes a preserver and can cast spells without damaging plant life. XP Cost: When cast for the benefit of a creature whose guilt was the result of deliberate acts, the cost to you is 500 XP. If the subject is a defiler, this cost is doubled. Material Component: Burning incense. Focus: Rare plants and herbs worth at least 500 Cp.
Conjuration (Creation) [Water] Level: Clr 1, Drd 1, Rgr 1, Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Duration: 12 hours Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) A blue cloud gathers in the sky above your target, providing shade from the sun’s searing rays. When cooling canopy is cast, a 30‐ft.–radius blue cloud gathers in the sky far above the target’s head. This cloud blocks the direct rays of the sun and provides shade for anyone within the spell’s radius. Those so protected need only one–half their normal water ration (or one–quarter if resting instead of traveling) needed to prevent dehydration. A creature must spend the majority of the 12 hours underneath the cooling canopy to decrease their required water intake. Material Component: A drop of water. Focus: A filmy bit of material (anything will do) stretched over the top of a stick or twig.

148
This spell creates a small amount of the caster’s patron element. Specifics for each element follow: Air: An air cleric can conjure a lungful of pure air. This air can be breathed by any one character within range. If that character is holding his breath or suffocating, he is no longer suffocating and if he must continue to hold his breath, he does so as if he had taken a deep breath of air. The pure air also invigorates a creature if it is not drowning or suffocating. The creature receives a +4 bonus on any check made for prolonged physical activity (as the Endurance feat), provided the check is made within one minute. Earth: An earth cleric can conjure a small amount of elemental earth. This earth can weigh no more than 1 lb./level, but can be either loose earth or unworked stone. This conjured earth appears level to the ground. Fire: A fire cleric can conjure a torch–sized flame in the palm of his hand. (This deals no damage to the cleric and has no danger of setting him or his equipment on fire.) This flame provides light as a torch and lasts 1 round/level. The torch can be used to light flammable objects aflame or as a weapon that deals 1 point of fire damage (like a normal torch). If the flame is used in this way, it dissipates after hitting an object or creature. Magma: A magma cleric can summon a small amount of red–hot magma. The magma appears anywhere in range at ground level, provided that space is not occupied by a creature. The magma is a 5‐ft.–radius circle. It deals 1d6 points of fire damage to any creature or object touching it. It cools after one round into a block of stone that weighs 10 lbs. Rain: A rain cleric can conjure a small rainstorm. This storm rains 1 gallon of water/level over a 5‐ft.–radius circle. It puts out any torch–sized or smaller fires in the area. Silt: A silt cleric can conjure a cloud of silt that surrounds the head of a creature within range. This silt obscures vision, inflicting a –1 penalty on attack rolls made for 1 round if the target fails a Fortitude save. Sightless creatures are not affected by this cloud. Sun: A sun cleric can conjure bright light. This functions as the daylight spell but lasts only 1 round. Water: A water cleric can conjure up to 2 gallons of water/level. This function exactly like the create water spell from the Player’s Handbook. Note: This spell has the same type as the element conjured. This spell replaces the create water spell from the Player’s Handbook.
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Drd 6 Components: V, S, M, DF, XP Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: See text Effect: A magic oasis Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No
Between the four stone markers etched with druidic symbols water sprouts from the ground as your ritual is completed, bringing into existence what will be a lush oasis – a source of life in the wastes. You create a lush oasis within the confines of a ring of standing stones of your creation. The maximum radius of the oasis is 50 feet per caster level beyond 10th; you may create a smaller oasis if desired. Before the spell can be cast, you must erect a circle of stones. Each stone must be at least 12 feet tall and no more than 4 feet wide or thick, rough–hewn and oblong, and set into the ground to stand on end. Four stones must be placed around the area the oasis will fill: one to the north, east, south and west points of the oasis. Cutting and placing a single stone requires 48 worker–hours, provided stones are readily available in the area and the workers have appropriate tools (chisels, spikes, hammers, rollers). If tools or ready stones aren’t available, this time may increase or, at the DM’s discretion, the preparation may be impossible. Also, particularly skilled or capable workers may cut the time by as much as half. You can erect the stones yourself through physical or magical labor, or you may enlist the help of any number of other creatures. After the last stone is placed, you must cast create oasis from the exact center of the ring. Interruptions during the placement of stones do not negate the spell, provided all the stones are in place at the time of casting. Once cast, the circle inside the stones is instantly transformed into a plant–filled, water–rich oasis. The trees and bushes are laden with nourishing, delicious fruits, and small game birds and animals appear, supported by springs and pools of fresh, cool water. The oasis can also sustain one Medium creature for every 50 square feet of the oasis. Each night, lost animals, fruits, and water are automatically replenished. Defiling magic still causes permanent damage; subtract the damaged area when considering the oasis’ ability to support living creatures. The oasis remains intact until you physically move beyond the ring of standing stones or until you voluntarily end the spell. Once ended, the oasis and the standing stones vanish, leaving the exact terrain that existed before. The spell also ends if you are slain. Material Component: Four standing stones. XP Cost: 100 per 50‐ft.‐radius of oasis created.

This includes wading or walking on the top of the silt by spell or magical devices, but not the use of a siltskimmer or floater.

An elemental strike produces a vertical column. The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Half the damage is energy damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to energy–based attacks. The type of energy damage, as well as the energy descriptor of the spell, is chosen at the time of casting. Clerics must choose the energy type that corresponds to their patron element.

Transmutation [see text] Level: Clr 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Your weapon Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The weapon is imbued with elemental energy, providing additional offensive capability to its strikes. You imbue a melee weapon with the powers of your worshipped element. The weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls for the duration of the spell, and an additional special ability depending on your patron element. You are treated as being proficient with the enchanted weapon. Creatures other than you wielding the enchanted weapon do not benefit from the spell. If the weapon is a double–weapon, only one end is affected. At 9th level and every 3 levels thereafter, the enhancement bonus of the armor or shield increases by 1, to a maximum of +5 at 18th level. Air: Throwing. Earth: Mighty cleaving. Fire: Flaming. Magma: Flaming. Rain: Shock. Silt: Keen. Sun: Spell storing. Water: Frost. This spell’s subtype is the same as the type of energy you cast.
Abjuration Level: Wiz 2, Clr 3, Drd 3, Furious Storm 2, Rgr 3 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Area: 30‐ft.–radius emanation centered on you Duration: 1 hour/level. Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You create a magical calm in the center of the storm, an area safe from powerful winds, rain and sand. You create a pocket of calm in a 30 ft. radius centered on you. The circle moves with you. Within the circle, the air is calm, and people may converse at a normal volume. Outsider the circle, there may be a raging sand storm or a terrifying Tyr–storm. Like the eye of a hurricane, the area affected by the spell remains unharmed. The storm roars by but has no effect on those within the sheltered eye. Eye of the storm does not exclude storms created by spells or the storm–like abilities of creatures. Material Component: A few grains of sand thrown into the wind.
Divination [Fire] Level: Burning Eyes 4 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A fiery spark appears that follows the path of a creature as doggedly as a desert hound follows a scent. The caster identifies a target when casting the spell, either by name or by physical description (e.g., “the man who stole the high templar’s purse today,” or “the woman I saw wearing the gray eye patch”). A spark of flame appears harmlessly at the caster’s fingertip—the faithful “hound” ready for the hunt. If the target has not been within range during the last 24 hours, then the flame leaps off the caster’s finger, lands on the ground nearby, and extinguishes itself. If the target has been within range, the flame leaps off the caster’s fingertip and flies toward the target’s trail, striking the ground as soon as it “picks up the scent.” The fire track is like a brilliant flame traveling along a fuse. In its wake is a faint line of scorched earth and dust, marking the path of its prey. (The scorch marks are easily swept clean.) The flame moves from 0 to 240 feet per round, at a speed chosen by the caster, which can be changed as a free action once per round. The fire track burns with the strength and brightness of a torch. It
154
inflicts 1d6 points of damage upon those who get in its way and sets combustible materials aflame. (A wise spellcaster does not use this spell to investigate burglaries in a cotton warehouse.) The fire track can be foiled in a number of ways. It cannot cross water and is extinguished by doing so, but it can cross silt. It can be snuffed out while in motion by strong breezes, blowing sand, and heavy rain. If the pursued individual takes to the air or teleports, the fire track circles in place until its time expires. Mere climbing, leaping, or jumping (even across a chasm), however, cannot foil the fire track, which always pursues in the correct direction. Material Component: A fragment of antennae from a cilops, wrapped in wax. The wax is melted to cast the spell.
Transmutation Level: Sky Blitz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./level) Target: One gallon of water/level Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: No The water smells and tastes as normal, but it has the poisonous qualities of fermented cactus milk. You give water the intoxicating properties of brewed spirits, such as wine or broy. A cup of this water acts as a poison (the Fortitude save DC is equal save DC this spell would have) that deals no initial damage, and 1 point of Wisdom damage and 1 point of Dexterity damage, as secondary damage. Detect poison positively detects firewater , but the water tastes and smells like normal water.
Evocation [Earth] Level: Mountain’s Fury 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) Effect: See text Duration: Permanent until closed Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No The very earth itself comes alive with furious anger, which is unleashed in the form of a great maw spewing forth deadly elemental matter, ravaging any creature unfortunate to be near it. You open a fissure in natural earth or stone; you can seal the fissure with a word (a free action). You can leave a fissure open for rounds, minutes, or decades, but you
can only have one fissure open at a time—until you close a fissure that you created, you cannot create another. Fissure offers several possible variant effects: Aqueous Fissure: You crack open the ground in a cylinder with 5 ft. radius and up to 200 ft. deep. The fissure stops when it reaches underground water, if any exists. In all but the wettest areas of Athas, that ground water will not rush up to the surface of the new well; someone needs to climb down into the fissure to retrieve the water. Billowing Fissure: You cause the earth to first burst in an immediate shower of rocks, then, the next round, to belch a gout of flame from the fissure, and afterward to emit nauseating gasses until sealed. The initial burst of rocks inflicts 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage to creatures within 40 feet (Reflex save for half damage). Treat the gout of flame as an elemental strike (fire), and the nauseating gasses that follow as a stinking cloud that persists until 1d6 rounds after you seal the fissure. Cavernous Fissure: This variant effectively opens a jagged cave or tunnel into the rock, 10 feet long per caster level. Gaping Fissure: You open a crack in the ground in the shape of a cylinder with 5 ft. radius and depth 5 ft. per caster level. Creatures standing in the fissure or within 5 ft. take 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (no saving throw), and must make a Reflex save or fall into the crack. Until you seal the crack, trapped creatures can attempt to climb out (the fissure walls are natural rock). Oily Fissure: Like with a billowing fissure, you cause a burst of stones (8d6 points of bludgeoning damage within 40 ft., Reflex save for half damage), but in the second round, a double–radius oil spray issues from the ground, covering everything within a 40‐ft. radius with flammable oil. In the third and subsequent rounds, oil continues to seep from the earth, but at an almost imperceptible rate. Until you seal the fissure, the ground within 40 feet of the fissure will remain oily. Steaming Fissure: Like with a billowing fissure, you cause a burst of stones (8d6 points of bludgeoning damage within 40 ft., Reflex save for half damage), but in the second and following rounds, scalding steam bursts from the ground, continuing to issue from the fissure until you seal it. The steam cloud has a 10‐ft. radius and is 40 ft. high. A creature that starts his turn within the cloud takes 4d6 points of fire damage. Volcanic Fissure: Like with a billowing fissure, you cause a burst of stones (8d6 points of bludgeoning damage within 40 ft., Reflex save for half damage). In the second round, magma issues in a spurt from the fissure, inflicting 10d12 points of fire damage to those still within 40 ft. Each subsequent round, victims take an addition 1d12 points of fire damage for 10 rounds as the magma cools. Each gallon of water used to cool the magma on one victim reduces the magma cooling time by 1 round, preventing 1d12 points of damage. Material Component: A sculpture made of igneous rock worth at least 50 Cp. You dash this sculpture against the ground at casting time.
155
Evocation [Fire] Level: Drd 8, Fiery Wrath 7 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Area: Up to 36 5‐ft. by 5‐ft. squares (S) Duration: See text Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes You slowly walk the area to be trapped for an hour, envisioning the rising flames and setting on the conditions that will trigger its activation. You create a trap in a large field, copse of wood, or other flammable area, to be triggered by predefined conditions. You may leave the area, and the trap remains set for 1 month. The trigger conditions may be as simple or as complex as you like, but they cannot be changed once the spell is placed. You should be careful about the wording, lest the trap trigger unintentionally. Some possible conditions are: whenever anyone sets foot in this grove, or whenever a templar draw his or her weapon. When the trap triggers, the area is engulfed in flames, dealing 8d8 points of fire damage to creatures and objects in the area. The site continues to burn normally, and creatures in the area takes 1d6 points of fire damage until the fire burns itself out.
Conjuration (Creation) [Water] Level: Drowning Despair 8, Drd 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: One mile upstream and downstream of a chosen point, or a 100‐ft.–radius circle Duration: Instantaneous or 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You open a gateway to the elemental planes, conjuring forth a powerful wave of water, which floods the land. The flood is accompanied by the roars of the raging sea. This spell is most effective in a river or stream’s flood plain, or another contained area, such as a twisted canyon in a mountain pass, in rocky badlands terrain, or even a dried–out riverbed. Flood Plain: If cast in a river or stream’s flood plain, flash flood causes the river to overflow its banks as its level rises 40 feet from the current level with fast–moving water. You choose a point of the river. From that point to a mile upstream and a mile downstream, the river’s flood plain becomes full with water. All creatures caught in the flood must make successful Swim checks (DC 20) or go under. Each round underwater, a victim suffers 1d8
points of nonlethal damage from battering. If a creature stays afloat, it must continue to make a Swim check every round. After 5 successful Swim checks, the creature successfully reaches the bank of the fast–flowing river. The flood carries creatures along with it downstream until it empties into a larger channel, or a distance of 10 miles (in which case the flood has run its limit), whichever occurs first. Creatures caught in the flood are carried at a speed of 90 feet per round. Outside a Flood Plain: This spell is far less devastating in an open plain. Water pours from the sky, seemingly out of nowhere, absolutely drenching a 100–foot–radius area and reducing visibility to 10 feet. Tiny creatures are swept off their feet and must make a Swim check (DC 10) each round to stay afloat; Small and Medium creatures are checked, and verbal communication is impossible for the duration of the storm (1 minute per caster level). All fires within the area of effect are instantly quenched, and fire spells such as fireball are impeded (as if underwater).
Transmutation Level: Tmp 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) Target: Feast for one creature/level Duration: 1 hour plus 12 hours; see text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) Let the fools feast, lulling themselves into perceived safety. Little do they know that each bite makes them all the more susceptible to your ploys. You turn an ordinary banquet into a nourishing feast with the same 12–hour blessing effect as the food and drink provided by the heroes’ feast spell. In addition, you receive a +4 circumstance bonus to interaction checks (such as Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive) when dealing with those who have consumed the feast. This spell can only be cast on a sufficient supply of clean, unpoisoned, edible food and wine. This spell enhances the food’s appearance, flavor, and texture to resemble the ambrosia and the sumptuous food available through heroes’ feast.
Divination Level: Rgr 2, Tmp 2, Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level (D) If your quarry has passed through here during the last 24 hours, its path shall be revealed to you in the form of ghostly footprints.
156
This spell allows you to follow the tracks of a specific creature or person named at the time of casting. The person so named must have traveled through the area within the last 24 hours. The spell creates a line of footprints that lead in the direction taken by the person being tracked. The footprints fade into invisibility once you have passed. You are treated as having the Track feat and receive a +20 bonus on Survival checks to follow tracks of you quarry. If the quarry travels in a way other than on land, the trail ceases. Only after the quarry has resumed traveling by land does the trail continue. This spell works against trackless step or other forms of concealing tracks. Material Component: A piece of straw and a bone needle.
Necromancy [Death] Level: Wiz 4 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Range: 40 ft. Area: Cone–shaped burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes After uttering the chant, a geyser of nebulous light springs forth from your hand, covering your enemies in a crimson hue. Then as the hue fades they begin to scream, as the flesh from their bodies pours off. This spell functions like circle of death , except that the spell slays 2 HD worth of living creatures per caster level (maximum 40 HD) and no creature of more than 5 HD can be affected.
Evocation [Air, Earth] Level: Broken Sands 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 0 ft. Area: Sphere with 50‐ft.–radius minus 10‐ft.–radius eye Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No A cyclone rises from the ground, whirling up sand and silt. Tiny crystal shards are separated from the particles, and they are propelled by the howling wind. This powerful version of the sand spray spell not only lifts and separates tiny crystal shards from sand or silt; it creates a 100 mph wind to propel them. The particles
whip about the storm’s area, leaving a 10‐ft. diameter eye where you and your companions may stand unharmed. In addition to the effects of hurricane force winds (DMG 94), creatures and unattended objects take 2d8 points of damage per round until they leave the area. All unprotected flames in the spell’s area are extinguished. Note that this spell does not create the tiny shards; sand or silt must be within range for this spell to take effect.
Enchantment [Mind–Affecting] Level: Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature Effect: Cloud that hovers over target’s head Duration: 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes A gloomy cloud appears over a creature that becomes despaired and succumbs to apathy, leaving it little more than helpless. Gloomcloud creates a small, gray cloud over the creature’s head. Only the creature affected by the cloud can see it and it moves with the creature. The despair caused by the gloomcloud is so profound that the victim can do nothing but walk slowly, sit silently, or weep in frustration. If attacked, his actions are determined by rolling d% at the beginning of his turn: 01–50, do nothing; 51–70, defends himself but is considered shaken and also suffers a –1 penalty to AC; 71–100, reacts normally. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking an affected creature. Note that an affected character will not make attacks of opportunity. Material Component: A drop of dirty water and a small, twisted length of chain.
Conjuration (Summoning) [Evil] Level: Dead Heart 6, Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: One or more summoned zombies Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No A small vortex appears accompanied by the stench of decaying flesh. A rotting hand appears, as a powerful zombie claws its way out of the dimensional portal. This spell briefly opens a conduit to the Gray, allowing negative energy to slip through and form Gray zombies (TotDL 42). You may summon one Gray zombie per caster level. Summoned zombies attack you unless
157
you promise them payment for their services; the undead can be satisfied by devouring living victims with total HD equaling the number of zombies summoned. When destroyed or when the spell ends, the summoned zombies become insubstantial and melt back into the Gray. Material Component: A gray cloth and a piece of bone.
Conjuration (Creation) [Evil] Level: Dead Heart 7, Tmp 9, Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) Effect: Diamond–shaped rift 30 ft. high and 15 ft. wide in the middle Duration: Concentration + 1d6 rounds Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: No Calling upon the negative energy of the Gray to bolster the unliving, you conjure a two–dimensional diamond–shaped rift. An overwhelming stench of decay assaults your nose, confirming the connection to the plane of the dead. This spell tears and holds open a rift between Athas and the Gray. The rift itself is a two–dimensional, diamond–shaped plane 30 feet high and 15 feet wide in the middle. Any creature that touches the rift is affected as if you cast harm on it. A character that attempts to dispel the rift and fails is also subjected to harm. Once per round as a move action, you can move the rift 30 feet in any direction within range. If you cease concentration or are slain, the rift lingers for 1d6 rounds without moving and then dissipates. All undead creatures within range gain a +4 profane bonus to Strength, 3 bonus hit points per hit die, and fast healing 1.
Conjuration (Creation) [Acid] Level: Drd 5, Wiz 6 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Effect: Cylinder (20‐ft. radius, 5 ft. high) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes A glob of fluorescing green gas spews from the ground. In the blink of an eye, it changes color to vibrant blue. Then a blinding flash and all of your enemies are in suffering. A highly corrosive mist deals 1d6 points of acid damage per caster level (maximum 15d6) to each creature in the area.
Abjuration Level: Tmp 1 Components: V, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 min./level You call upon your sorcerer‐king’s protection to shield you from malignant spells. You receive a +2 sacred or profane bonus to all saving throws against spells and spell–like abilities, depending on the alignment of your sorcerer‐king.
Transmutation Level: Clr 9, Drd 9, Forged Stone 8 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: One piercing weapon Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None; Fortitude partial Spell Resistance: No You transform the pointed weapon into a true harbinger of death, a weapon which sprouts roots when it hits its target. The roots and branches seek out vital organs, instantly killing or lethally wounding the victim. This terrible spell is cast on a piercing weapon made partially of wood, usually a spear or an arrow. When the weapon damages a creature, the wooden shaft of the weapon begins to sprout as if growing. The roots and branches seek out vital organs as a source of nutrients. If the creature fails a Fortitude save, the vines burst through the victim’s vital organs, killing him instantly. If the save is successful, the creature manages to pull the weapon out but takes 10d8 points of damage. The weapon is destroyed after being used. Creatures immune to critical hits automatically make their Fortitude save. XP Cost: 100 XP.
Evocation [Fire] Level: Clr 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. per level) Target: One creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text Spell Resistance: Yes A gust of heat strikes your foe, as if exiting a cool cellar establishment to face the sun at noon in the city‐states.
158
The target suffers 1d4+1 points of fire damage and is knocked back 5 feet by the sudden heat. A successful save reduces the damage by half and prevents the creature from being knocked back.
Illusion (Glamer) Level: Wiz 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: You plus up to one willing creature Duration: 10 min./level Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with) Spell Resistance: No You disguise any imperfections in your act through magical assistance, making it appear that you are far more skilled than which is the case. You make it seem as though you and a single other willing person possess talent in performance ability. You both receive a +10 bonus on Perform checks. This spell does not actually impart any skill or learning; you do not perform any better than you could before, but it appears to observers that you do. However, simply watching or listening to the performance counts as “interaction,” and observers may make a Will save to notice the illusion. Otherwise, the performance appears flawless.
Necromancy [Fear, Mind–Affecting] Level: Tmp 3 Components: V, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature or creatures touched (up to one/level) Duration: 10 minutes; see text Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes Upon touching your enemy with your sigil, it receives a frightening vision of your sorcerer‐king. This spell protects the sorcerer‐king’s agents from aggressors. You may make a melee touch attack with your sigil up to one time per caster level. A touched creature must succeed on a Will save or become frightened. On a successful save the target is shaken for one round. Creatures with more than 10 Hit Dice are unaffected by the spell.
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Clr 7, Drd 6, Ruinous Swarm 6, Wiz 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Living creatures in a 10‐ft.–radius sphere
Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: Yes
You hold your palm in front of your face and gently blow the magical parasites into the air. They dart towards your enemies, taking root in clothes, hair and flesh. Tiny parasites take root in the clothes, hair, and skin of living creatures within the area. The victims rarely realize a spell has been cast on them—they must make a Wisdom check (DC 20) to sense the parasites—so the symptoms are usually the first sign of the spell’s effects. It takes 1 day before infestation sets in. A remove disease or heal spell removes the parasites, as do spells that repel or destroy insects. Even if the infestation is removed, a creature must heal its effects separately. Those who have lost their sight to eye mites, for example, need a spell that could restore vision, such as remove blindness/deafness. A heal spell, however, cures all injuries. You choose the type of parasite from the following list: Ear Mites: These microscopic creatures cause permanent deafness in 1d6+6 days. Eye Mites: Eye mites cause permanent blindness in 1d6+6 days. Desert Lice: Desert lice cause their host to feel generally unhealthy, uncoordinated, and dizzy. The victims suffer a –4 penalty on all saving throws. Sand Fleas: While these tiny creatures aren’t deadly, they are a source of constant itching and discomfort. Anyone infected by sand fleas cannot heal wounds naturally, due to misery and discomfort. The victim becomes cranky and irritable, resulting in a –2 penalty on all interaction checks (such as Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive) and initiative rolls. Sand fleas notoriously leap from host to host, almost like a contagious disease. Anyone coming into contact with an afflicted creature must make a Fortitude save or become infested as well. Mind Worms: These tiny vermin infest a victim’s hair and secrete a drug that excites certain portions of the brain, causing hallucinations, delirium, and hysteria. The worms’ effects grow in time, so the first few hallucinations are mild and probably undetectable by the victim’s companions. Eventually, his condition deteriorates, and it becomes obvious that he is suffering from some mind–altering ailment. Whenever in combat (or other stressful situations) the character becomes confused (as the spell). Each day, he must make a Will save or become permanently confused.
Transmutation Level: Drd 4, Tmp 5 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: 20 ft. Target: All living creatures within a 20‐ft. burst, centered on you
159
Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You transform nearby creatures into beings as fierce as klars, increasing their fighting capacity. You magically enhance the combat ability of all living creatures, allies and enemies alike, within 20 feet (including you). Subjects of the spell receive a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and +1d4 temporary hit points per two caster levels. When the spell ends, any remaining temporary hit points from its effect are lost.
Transmutation Level: Forged Stone 9 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Target: You and other willing creatures within range Duration: 12 hours; see text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Time slows to a halt when you embrace solitude. Tyr was not built in one day, but you will perform great acts of construction before nightfall. This spell can only be cast at sunrise, in an isolated location with no onlookers. Legendary stonecraft stretches out the duration of the day with respect to stonecraft— digging ditches, quarrying stone, building masonry, carving stone, etc. While the spell endures, the sun seems to stay still in the sky, and neither you nor your fellow stone workers have need of food, drink, or sleep. The day seems endless, and indeed, for you, it virtually is. You can choose how long to make the day last in terms of your labor; however, you cannot make creatures work for more than a year. Every subject must willingly participate in this spell at its casting. If any other creature enters the spell’s range, or even views its effects, legendary stonecraft abruptly terminates. Similarly, if anyone uses the time to do anything other than stonecraft, the spell terminates. All subjects age as normal for the number of workdays. For example, if you stretched the day to the maximum one year’s worth of work, you and all your co– workers would age one year during this time, even though only a day passed for the rest of the world. XP Cost: 10 XP per subject per workday. For example, if you have 19 workers (plus you) and wish to stretch the day into 100 work days, it would cost 2,000 XP.
Transmutation Level: Clr 3 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creatures touched Duration: 2 hour/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The rancid smell of a kank herd floats past you as you imbue creatures with increased strength for carrying. You increase the carrying capacity of up to one creature per caster level. Divide the duration by the number of subjects. The subjects’ carrying capacity is quadrupled.
Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sky Blitz 8 Saving Throw: Fortitude half; Reflex half; see text; You prepare a deadly trap that will electrocute those who dare approach the water. This spell functions as water shock , except as noted above and as follows. An effect similar to chain lightning strikes the first creature to touch the water, with secondary bolts striking all creatures within 60 feet. The creature that triggers the trap suffers 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) and is paralyzed for 1d6 minutes if it fails its Fortitude save. Secondary targets receive half damage and are not paralyzed.
Conjuration (Creation) [Water] Level: Drowning Despair 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5ft./2 levels) Target: One breathing creature Duration: Concentration (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You spit towards your foe. As the phlegm trickles, your enemy’s eyes widen as it coughs up water and begins to suffocate. This spell magically creates water inside a victim’s lungs, drowning it if it cannot cough the stuff up. Creatures that do not need to breathe are unaffected by this spell. If the target succeeds on a Fortitude save when you cast lungs of water, it is unaffected. If it fails its save, it can
160
still continue to take choking breaths each round with a standard action. An affected creature can attempt to take actions normally (instead of consciously controlling its breathing), but each round it does so, beginning in the round when it failed its Fortitude save, the subject risks blacking out from lack of oxygen. It must succeed on a Fortitude save at the end of any of its turns in which it did not consciously take a breath. The DC of this save increases by 1 in every consecutive round after the first one that goes by without a breath; the DC drops back to its original value if the subject spends an action to take a breath. If a subject fails a Fortitude save, it begins to drown (0 hp). In the following round, it drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, it drowns. Curing spells or powers can revive a dying subject normally, so long as this power’s duration has expired; if the power is still in effect, a revived creature is still subject to Fortitude saves in each round when it does not consciously breathe. Material Component: Your saliva, spat at the intended victim.
Divination Level: Wiz 4, Tmp 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch. Target: One object used as focus Area: 20 ft. + 20 ft./level radius circle centered on you Duration: 1 day Saving Throw: No Spell Resistance: No The pointer swirls until it comes to a rest, pointing out the direction of the most potent wizard to be here the last day and night. When mage seeker is cast, the selected object (see below) glows slightly and pivots to point in the direction of the most potent wizard (not you) who has been in the area of effect within the last 24 hours. The item becomes a sort of compass that continually readjusts to point the direction of the wizard it first located. If a name or description of a wizard is stated at the time the spell is cast, the seeker will home in on that particular wizard if he has been within the area of effect within the last 24 hours. If the particular wizard is not detected, the seeker stays immobile to indicate failure and can be used normally 1 round afterwards to seek out the most potent wizard who has been in the area of effect. Focus: The object that is to be used as the seeker (an arrow, dart, or piece of bone or wood that is shaped like a pointer) and a few grains of sand.
Illusion (Phantasm) [Mind–Affecting] Level: Wiz 2 Components: F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20‐ft.–radius spread Duration: 1 min/level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You perform your tricks, concealing the fact that you use magic to aid you. While everyone focuses on your little mask, they fail to notice your lips moving and your hand gestures. First developed by arena mages ( APXII 7) who used it to help disguise their spellcasting, this spell conceals the casting of other magic. When cast, magic trick makes other magic seem to be the result of ordinary prestidigitator’s tricks. You receive a +10 circumstance bonus on resisted Bluff checks made to disguise spellcasting while the spell is in effect. Focus: A tiny cloth mask with no eyeholes.
Transmutation [Earth, Fire] Level: Mountain’s Fury 8, Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 0 ft. Area: 10‐ft. diameter tunnel Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: No By heating the very fabrics of earth, you create a flow of magma, which burrows a tunnel. The magma is accompanied by a sulphurous smell and misty vapors. When the magma hardens, you can pass through unharmed. You can tunnel through solid earth, rock, sand, or silt, by liquefying it into flowing magma. The liquid rock moves out of the way to allow you to pass, and hardens in that position, creating a permanent, nonmagical tunnel. The tunnel forms at a rate of 30 ft./round through sand, silt, or wood, 20 ft./round through solid earth and 10 ft./round through rock or metal. Any creatures or objects caught in the magma current while the tunnel is being created suffer 10d6 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half damage). It takes one day for the heat to dissipate enough for the unprotected to enter, although you are magically protected for the duration of the spell. Creatures entering the tunnel unprotected during this time suffer 1d6 points of fire damage per round from the extreme heat. The tunnel is formed at a rate of 30 ft/round through sand, silt or wood, 20 ft/round through solid earth and 10 ft/round through rock or metal. Any creatures or objects

caught in the magma current while the tunnel is being created suffer 10d6 points of fire damage per round
Transmutation [Earth, Fire] Level: Broken Sands 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Up to one 5‐ft. cube/level (S) Duration: Concentration; see text Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No Rock and sand heats to its melting point, causing blisters and searing wounds for creatures in contact with the earthen ground. Concentrating, you cause the earth to burst open with smoky flames, incinerating those still around. This spell heats rock or sand to its melting point in a matter of rounds: 1st Round: Earth dries; rock or sand heats up. Creatures in contact with the ground take 4d8 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half damage). 2nd Round: Creatures in contact with earthen ground take 2d6 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half damage). Rock continues to heat up, increasing the damage to 8d6 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half damage). Sand liquefies into glass; any creature still standing in the area falls into the molten glass, taking 16d6 points of fire damage (no save). Creatures outside or above the area but within 10 feet take 1d6 points of fire damage (no save). 3rd Round: Earth bursts into smoky flames, and creatures in area take 10d6 points of fire damage (Reflex save for half damage). Rock melts into magma; any creature still standing in area falls into the lava, taking 20d6 points of fire damage (no save). Molten sand continues to burn immersed creatures. Creatures outside or above the area but within 10 feet take 2d6 points of fire damage (no save). When you cease concentrating, the spell terminates, and the molten area begins to gradually cool. Every hour that passes, reduce the damage inflicted by stepping into the area by one die of damage. Eventually molten sand cools to solid glass, while scorched earth and molten rock cool into igneous rock and ash. Material Component: A small piece of obsidian or glass.
Abjuration Level: Drd 0, Rgr 1 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Up to 10 seeds touched Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No
With utmost care you prepare a dung casing to protect the delicate seeds and cuttings, so that they may be transported elsewhere and sprout new plants. You render up to 10 cuttings or seeds dormant and suitable for transport. The seeds or cuttings can then be taken to an area where inclement weather, lack of moisture, or other problems have kept plants from growing. The dormant seeds or cuttings are planted there and will magically take root and can be used to start new patches of vegetation, anchoring the soil and creating an environment suitable for more plants to survive. This spell protects the transplants from normal weather conditions, but defilers, hungry animals, or unnatural phenomenon (like Tyr–Storms) can still destroy the plants. Material Component: A tiny bit of dung and a drop of water.
Conjuration Level: Mountain’s Fury 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 20‐ft.–radius spread Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: No Fountains of flammable oil spout up from the ground, showering everything in vicinity with sticky, black liquid. When you cast this spell over rough earth or sand, fountains of flammable oil spout up from the ground, covering everything within a 20–foot radius. Creatures in the area must make a Reflex save or be covered in oil. The spell effectively causes the area to suffer the effects of a grease spell. The oil itself isn’t particularly dangerous unless ignited. Burning oil inflicts 2d8 points of fire damage + 2 points per caster level its first round, and 1d8 points of fire damage + 1 point per caster level in the second round. The oil burns off by the third round, but creatures that were covered in oil still burn, as they have caught fire, suffering 1d6 points of fire damage per round until the fire is put out. If the oil isn’t ignited, it will remain until removed by no less than 30 minutes of scrubbing or washing. Thus, any creature that is covered with the oil is at risk of being ignited by as little as a spark. A creature that enters the oil–covered area after the initial gush is not at risk of being ignited because it was not doused by the oil, but it still takes damage if it enters the area when it is aflame.
Necromancy Level: Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M
162
Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: One summoned shadow giant Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Surrounded by shadowy illumination, you cut your finger, letting a drop of blood fall to the ground – sealing your pact with the shadow giant, which accepts your obsidian spheres as payment for its services. To use the pact of darkness spell, you must be in an area of shadowy illumination. You create a pact between you and a shadow giant. If you know an individual giant’s name, you may request that individual by speaking the name during the spell (though you might get a different giant anyway). You may ask the giant to perform one task taking up to one hour in exchange for a payment of 10 perfect spheres of obsidian. This payment must be made before the giant agrees to perform any services. The bargaining takes at least 1 round, so any actions by the giant begin in the round after it arrives. At the end of its task, the creature returns to the Black (after reporting back to you, if appropriate and possible). This spell cannot be cast in areas of absolute darkness. Material Component: The obsidian spheres (100 gp value minimum) and a drop of the caster’s blood.
Necromancy Level: Living Waters 5, Tmp 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Two touched creatures Duration: 1 year Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You clearly recite the terms of the pact, and fill a silver cup with water. Both subjects entering the pact drink one half of the cup, and the last few drops of the cup are poured into the dust. You formalize a pledge between two living creatures, one of which can be yourself. A creature that violates the terms of the pact of water is struck with a curse of the choking sands (no save). Both subjects of the water pact must be willing and fully informed of the terms of the pact; otherwise the spell has no affect. No creature can be coerced or deceived into making a water pact, but the terms themselves may be coercive—for example, party A pledges not to kill party B or any of his tribe, as long as party B delivers 10 silver pieces per month to party A. There is an old story of the desert in which a water cleric offers a water pact to a wanderer dying of thirst, in which the wanderer pledges himself into slavery in exchange for the half‐cup of water.
Focus: The silver cup (worth at least 50 Cp), which is ornamented with drawings of rain.
Transmutation Level: Drd 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: One plant Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Your caring touch restores the dying plant to life. Its color returns, and the air feels fresher for a moment. You revive a single plant that has been mostly wilted or dried out, but not completely turned to ash. The plant may have suffered from a lack of water, partial defilement, or insect predation that has left it on the verge of destruction. This spell revives it and makes it hardy enough to transplant elsewhere. If the plant then receives proper care, it will survive and thrive, living out its appointed time and possibly leaving seeds from which other plants may grow. If neglected or misused, the plant does not remain artificially alive. This spell has no effect on plant creatures. Material Component: A drop of water.
Conjuration (Creation) [Air] Level: Ill Winds 7, Tmp 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 30 ft. Effect: Line–shaped gust of poisoned wind emanating out from you to the extreme of the range Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes A gust of toxic green fumes flows from your mouth in a straight line, a debilitating poison to those who inhale it. This spell resembles gust of wind , except that the range is shorter and the wind is filled with inhaled poison. You choose the ability score you would like the poison to damage. Poison gale creates a poison that deals 2d8 points of temporary ability damage as primary and secondary damage. The exception is Constitution, which is damaged 1d8 points. The ability score damaged does not have to be the same for the primary and secondary damage. For example, you could create a poisoned gale that deals 2d8 points of primary Wisdom damage and 1d8 points of secondary Constitution damage. Each instance of damage can be negated by a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your caster level + your Wis or Cha modifier).
163
Material Component: The stinger or fang of a poisonous creature.
Abjuration Level: Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: One creature or object touched Duration: 1 month/2 levels Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The sand in the hour glass freezes to a halt, as does the aging process of the spell’s recipient. You protect the target from the adverse effects of aging. This spell makes a living creature immune to natural, magical, and psionic aging. This spell continues on beyond the creature’s death, and time limits for spells like speak with dead or raise dead do not count the time that protection from time is in effect. This spell can be cast on a dead creature. The target moves through time at the same rate as other beings. A living subject must still eat, drink and rest as usual; it simply does not age. This spell does not affect the duration of other spells. Material Components: An hourglass. XP Cost: 3,000 XP.
Evocation [Sonic] Level: Wiz 5 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Several rays Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A beam of white light silently shoots from your fingertip towards your enemy. A white ray of subsonic energy springs from your hand. You may fire seven rays, plus one additional ray for every other level beyond 10th (to a maximum of twelve rays at 19th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 8d6 points of sonic damage. The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all bolts must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.
Evocation [Electricity] Level: Clr 5, Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 30‐ft.–radius emanation centered on a creature or object Effect: One storm Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes Lightning flares up the sky accompanied by a great thunderclap. Dark clouds appear above a creature, and in an instant, the sky opens to unleash rain, hail, winds and lightning. Ragestorm creates a miniature Tyr–storm, the affected target becoming the focus of an intense force of rain, hail, high winds, and lightning strikes for the duration of the spell. The storm inflicts 4d8 points of damage to anyone within its radius on a failed save due to high winds, dangerous hail, and electrical discharges. A creature that fails its saving throw can’t run out of the area of effect, for they carry the storm with them wherever they go. If some container is left in the area (and it survives the deluge), up to two gallons of water can be collected. Material Component: A drop of water, a pinch of dirt, and a tiny replica of a lightning bolt carved in wood or bone.
Illusion (Shadow) Level: Clr 5, Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Melee weapon touched Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes As you touch the weapon, it takes on a ghostly, ethereal, gray hue. One melee weapon touched by you takes on a ghostly, ethereal gray hue. For the duration of the spell, the wielder of the weapon can strike opponents at a distance, just as if he was standing directly next to them. The maximum range for attacks with the rangeblade is 5 ft. + 5 ft. per 2 caster levels. Creatures struck by the rangeblade see a faded, ghostly image of the weapon strike them, but the damage dealt to them is real. A rangeblade threatens no area and cannot provide a flanking bonus. This spell does not grant the wielder proficiency in the weapon.
Transmutation Level: Clr 6, Drd 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
164
Area: Circle of ground extending out to range Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: None
Ash and dust is whirled up into the air and takes on a bright green glow, resembling that of fireflies. As they fall on the sterile land, the ground feels soft and moist once more. You grant the ability to support vegetation to an area of ground. In the case of ground made sterile by defiler magic, rejuvenate dispels the ground’s sterility, making it immediately capable of supporting vegetation. A circle of ground extending out from you is enriched and moistened, and a blanket of fine grass appears instantly. The soil and grass are not magical, however, and are subject to normal weather conditions. However, the grass will survive for at least a week, even in the worst of weather. The spell may also be cast on any ground short of solid rock. If cast on an area that can already support plant life, rejuvenate increases the ground’s fertility as the enrichment effect of the spell plant growth, and the range is a half mile. Material Component: A seed (any kind) and a drop of water.
Necromancy Level: Clr 2, Drd 3, Decaying Touch 1, Tmp 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: Corpses or corpse–like creatures Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Throwing dust at the body and uttering a prayer of destruction, you make the creature wither and decompose at an unnatural rate. It dries to become a lifeless husk before it decomposes into dust. You can decompose a body just by casting dust or earth at it. You need to spend 4 rounds to decompose a Medium corpse. (Double the time required for each size category larger than Medium; halve the time for each size category less than Medium, to a minimum of 1 round). Corpses decomposed by this spell can still be restored to life, but cannot be turned into undead. You may throw earth or dust as a ranged touch attack (maximum range 10 ft., no range increment); the earth deals 1d12 points of damage to corporeal undead and constructs that are composed of dead flesh or bones.
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Wiz 3, Clr 3, Broken Sands 1, Tmp 3 Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Cylinder (30 ft. radius, 50 ft. high) Duration: Concentration (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No
As you cast this spell, sand and dust within a circle is randomly dispersed, and an indentation appears in the sand. This spell only works in silt, sand, or loose gravel; it has no effect on rock, rich soil, or tightly packed earth. A cylinder–shaped pit appears in the sand. Any objects other than dust and sand that were in the excavated area become visible, lying at the bottom of the pit. This spell lasts as long as you concentrate; when concentration ceases, silt immediately collapses into the empty area, while sand takes 1d6 minutes to do so. This spell is particularly useful in excavating ruins that have fallen beneath silt or sand, or for retrieving companions that have been buried by sand storms or have fallen into the silt.
Evocation [Earth] Level: Wiz 4, Clr 4, Broken Sands 3, Tmp 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 60 ft. Area: Cone–shaped burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes Small, glassy particles of sand or silt spray towards your opponents’ eyes. Creatures within the area are blinded for 1d6 minutes and take piercing damage: 2d6 nonlethal and 2d6 lethal. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and blinds a creature for only one round. Note that this spell does not create the tiny shards; sand or silt must be within range for this spell to take effect.
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Wiz 5, Broken Sands 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: Sand up to 100 ft. + 10 ft./level in radius Duration: 1 day/level Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: Yes Tearing the map to tiny pieces that disappear with the wind, you put a curse on the sand in the area, providing a nasty surprise for those who would cross it.

Papyrus Faded Fragile Brittle Crumbled Dust — — — — — — —
You trap an area of sand. You must designate a 30– foot radius “trigger area” somewhere within the larger area. When a creature sets foot inside the trigger area, the trap is sprung, and all of the entrapped area is affected with one of the following effects (your choice): Drum Sand: Every footstep taken within the entrapped area of sand is amplified so loudly that it can be heard for miles, typically attracting predators. Sand Spikes: Treat the entire entrapped area as though affected by spike stones. Slip Sand: The entire area of sand becomes difficult to travel. Treat the area as if affected by the grease spell. Material Component: A paper map of the area affected.
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Broken Sands 5, Tmp 5, Wiz 5 Components: V, S The work of 50 slaves is performed at the snap of your fingers, as huge barrows of sand are excavated at your command. This spell functions like move earth , except that this spell can only be used to move sand.
Transmutation Level: Clr 7, Decaying Touch 5, Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: Item touched up to 10 cubic ft./level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You can reconstruct materials of the past or deteriorate them further through presenting either an hourglass or sundial during your casting of this spell. This spell has two modes. Restoration: You can reverse the effects of aging and erosion on any nonliving, material object. The amount of aging that can be reversed depends on your caster level, according to the following table.
Wood — — Faded Fragile Brittle Crumbled — Dust — — — —
Soft Stone — — — — — Paint — Etching Relief Form 1/2 mass 3/4 mass
Hard Stone — — — — — — — — Paint — Etching —
Metal — — — — — — — — — Paint — Etching
Erosion: You to speed up erosion dramatically on any nonliving object. The table also indicates the average effects of time and the elements on various materials (items protected from the elements may take longer to erode, but use these times for all restoration). Papyrus and wooden objects fade over time, making it difficult, but not impossible, to read or identify surface features. Fragile objects only possess half of their original hardness and hit points. Crumbled items are unusable but still identifiable as papyrus or wood; dust is completely unidentifiable and unusable. Stone and metal items wear away over time, and their shapes smooth out until the item is completely worn away. Paint indicates that artificial coloration is gone or unrecognizable; etching means carved letters or pictures are worn away; relief indicates that deeply carved letters or images are severely eroded; form indicates that time has eroded away all but the basic form of the original stone or metal. The fractions 1/2 and 3/4 tell when the item has lost that amount of its original mass (and also means the item’s present hardness and hp total). Dust means the original item is completely gone, eroded away to nothing. A 15th–level cleric could, for example, turn even a pile of dust back into the new, clean piece of papyrus it once was, or turn the crumbled remains of a staff back to its original form, or even restore a painted map on the wall of a temple constructed of soft stone. This spell cannot restore damage done to an object by anything other than natural aging or erosion. Use the above table as a guide for other objects that don’t exactly fit into these categories. Focus: A tiny hourglass (during the spell, the sands run upward), if restoring, or a miniature sundial that has timed the passage of at least one year, if eroding
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Forged Stone 1, Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: 5‐ft. square/level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No Sand and gravel clumps into sandstone at your touch.
166
You can transform into sandstone one 5–foot block of sand or gravel per level. This spell allows you to reinforce ditches made in sand, building makeshift walls. Sandstone does not have the resilience of normal stone: It has a hardness of 6 and only 10 hit points per inch of thickness. A 1–foot–thick wall of sandstone created by this spell has hardness 5, 25 hit points, and a break DC of 30. Sandstone is useless for the purpose of making weapons.
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind–Affecting] Level: Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20‐ft.–radius spread Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You casually throw a stone in the direction of your target and then, by the top of your lungs, cry “Wizard!” This spell causes all creatures within 20 feet of the target to believe he is to blame for all troubles or difficulties they have. All creatures in the area become hostile towards the target. Affected creatures with Intelligence 3 or greater are allowed to make a Will save to come to their senses. Material Component: A strand of hair and a stone thrown in the chosen target’s direction.
Transmutation [Light] Level: Wiz 6, Desert Mirage 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Sphere (20 ft. radius) Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: No The sand shifts, every single grain of sand realigning to reflect sunlight to your convenience. This spell can only be cast outside, in sand, during the daytime. It can be cast one of two ways: Reflected Outward: All creatures outside the area but within 60 feet of its center are blinded for 1 round unless they make a Fortitude save. A creature must save each round it remains in the area. Reflected Inward: All creatures within the area are blinded unless they make a Fortitude save, but creatures outside the area can look into it with no risk of being blinded.
Necromancy Level: Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: Cloak touched Duration: 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) The cloak reflects no light and feels heavier after you cast your spell. The silver you sprinkled on it has disappeared, but you spot a faint trace line which leads to another dimension. You imbue an ordinary cloak with magical power. While wearing it, you gain damage reduction 5/magic, darkvision out to 60 feet and a deflection bonus to AC equal to your Charisma bonus. The cloak also allows you to enter and exit the Black as a standard action. If you enter an area without any source of illumination, the spell ends. Focus: A gray cloak. Material Component: A pinch of silver dust (worth 1 sp).
Evocation [Air] Level: Drd 8, Furious Storm 6 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) and cylinder (1,000 ft. radius, 400 ft. high) Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You conjure forth a terrible sandstorm, the dreaded sirocco. An uncontrollable force which sweeps up anything on the ground not tied down, and tearing at the flesh with stinging sand and chips of stone. You create a raging storm over a vast area. To cast this spell, you must be able to see the sky, and you must be in an area covered with sand or loose stone. Calling up a sirocco is perilous, since you cannot control it, and you are as affected by the storm as anyone else. Once formed, the sirocco sweeps along the ground, whipping up small objects, dust, and sand, and carrying them along with terrific speed. Each round of exposure to the storm inflicts 2d8 points of piercing and bludgeoning damage to all creatures and objects in the area. Creatures with total cover take no damage. In addition, winds of windstorm force buffet the area.
167
Evocation [Fire] Level: Drd 5, Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Three 5‐ft.–radiuses spreads; see text Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None or Reflex half; see text Spell Resistance: Yes Three bolts of crimson flame spurt from the end of your fingers, quickly moving towards their target, exploding on a fiery blast upon contact. This spell functions like meteor swarm , except that you create three egg–sized spheres that inflict 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage (no save), and 3d6 points of fire damage in a 5‐ft.‐radius spread.
Divination Level: Wiz 0 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes You smell the air, searching for the unnaturally musky scent of sweat slaves are tainted with by their very existence. This spell reveals whether or not the target is a slave, runaway slave, freeman, or noble. If the target is from a classless society (such as an elf tribe or a small village), the spell reveals him as a freeman.
Evocation [Force] Level: Wiz 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./ level) Target: One creature or object Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes A bright, silver and gold flare shoots out of your hand, filling the air with the smell of melting copper. As it strikes its target it explodes in a deafening cascade of red and blue sparks. A sparkrain spell allows you to hurl a bolt of force that has two effects. You must make a ranged touch attack to strike a target, and if you succeed you automatically dispel any defensive spell or power with the force
descriptor that affects the target, with no limit on the level of the effect dispelled. As the bolt strikes it explodes in a shower of sparks, affecting creatures and objects within a 20‐ft.–radius burst. All defensive spells or powers of 1st level with the force descriptor within the area of effect are automatically dispelled.
Divination (Scrying) Level: Burning Eyes 9 Duration: 1 hour/level In the dancing flames you see a remote vision of an area surrounding another fire. Your face appears in the fire as a dark silhouette. If you will it, you appear at the site you see. This spell functions like the watch fire spell, except as noted above and as follows. In addition to being able to observe and communicate from any fire within range, you can cast spells as if you were actually within the flames. Spells cast through the fire cannot require somatic components. The risk of this spell is that creatures can target you through the fire with light– and sonic–based attacks, and with mind–affecting effects. In addition, you can walk into a fire and greater teleport to any other fire up to the limit of your range. If you choose to go blindly, you will appear by the nearest fire within range. If the original fire that you used to scry is put out, you can still use other fires within range.
Necromancy Level: Drd 2, Rgr 2, Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; see text Spell Resistance: Yes The dried out barb of the gold scorpion once more seethes with poison as you finish casting your spell, being careful not to hurt yourself on the barb. You magically enliven the barb of a gold scorpionʹs tail and immediately make a normal melee attack against a living creature. (You are considered armed and do not provoke an attack of opportunity.) If you hit the target with the scorpion barb, the victim suffers as if he had been stung by a real gold scorpion. He must make a Fortitude save immediately or suffer 1d6 points of temporary Strength damage. The victim must make a second Fortitude save 1 minute later. If the secondary save fails, the victim suffers 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage. This spell does not affect creatures immune to natural venoms or poisons. The barb becomes useless once it is used.
168
Material Component: The barb of a gold scorpion.
Transmutation [Air] Level: Drd 9, Furious Storm 8 Components: V, S, F, DF Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Target: You and other creatures with total Hit Dice 5/caster level Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The powerful winds of the storm tear at your party’s bodies, painfully dissolving layer by layer of skin, then bone and organs, until you are completely dissolved. The storm carries your essence for a distance you have specified, upon which your bodies are reassembled from raining bone, tissue and blood. You transport willing corporeal creatures via a storm system. The storm may not be created magically; it must be a natural storm, such as a dust storm, sandstorm, windstorm, or lightning storm produced by natural weather. Note that Tyr–storms are magical in origin and thus cannot be used for storm legion. The storm dissolves the subjects of the spell and all of the possessions that they were carrying. Only you retain consciousness, and you control the storm’s direction. The storm moves at 8d6 miles per hour and cannot be affected by any further weather–affecting magic, including another storm legion spell. Once you travel the desired distance, or if the storm legion is dispelled or the duration expires, you and the other traveling creatures begin to rain down from the sky as fragments of bone, tissue, and blood. This lasts for 1 minute, as the fragments reassemble into the transported creatures. A creature is helpless as its body is reassembled. Focus: A storm in the sky overhead.
Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Wiz 6 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 round Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area: Circle, centered on you, with a radius of 400 ft. + 40 ft./level Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: No You summon a Tyr–storm. Ominous cerulean clouds fill the sky. Hail, lightning, hurricane winds, slashing rain, acidic vapors, and furious thunder rock the area. The spell draws a Tyr–storm into an area designated by you. The storm is typical of those spun off from the
Cerulean Storm, lasting for 2d10 minutes and inflicting 2d8 points of damage per round. A Tyr–storm is a violent tempest and can’t be used to bring water. This spell does not imbue you with the ability to control the Tyr–storm. Focus: A blue lens worth 100 Cp.
Evocation [Light] Level: Fiery Wrath 4 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. / level) Effect: Rays Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Rays of brilliant sunlight fly from your fingertips. Those struck gasp for air and break in sweat, as if having spent the afternoon in the smoldering heat of the Smoking Crown. Casting this spell allows you to fire rays of brilliant sunlight that cause the creatures struck by a ray to overheat as if suffering from sunstroke or fever. You may fire one ray per round. With a successful ranged touch attack, each sun ray strikes for 4d4 points of nonlethal damage and causes the target to become fatigued. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage and negates the fatigue. Creatures immune to heat effects or nonlethal damage (such as constructs) are unaffected, except for undead, who suffer lethal damage from the sun rays. This spell can only be cast in the sunlight. Focus: A small mirror worth 1 sp.
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drowning Despair 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) Area: Water in a 20‐ft.–radius circle Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes The water becomes cohesive and resilient, making it impossible to drink but possible to cross on foot. You greatly increase the surface tension of water within the affected area. This change has different effects, depending on the size and shape of the affected water. Bodies of water become cohesive and resilient, allowing creatures to walk on the water at half speed (as the water surface bends under their weight). However, if a creature is already running when it reaches the water’s surface, it can continue running at the same speed, much
169
as some tiny insects can run across the surface of normal water. A swimmer can move from the spell’s area underwater, but the water’s surface proves difficult to breach. A creature attempting to break through the water’s surface must make a Strength check (DC 5 + caster level); a creature without a swim speed takes a –5 penalty on this check. You may affect smaller amounts of water with surface tension, creating balloon–like containers that can be burst with the same Strength check. You can carry gallons of water without a water skin, or bounce them like a ball. A creature could even wield a water bubble as an improvised sap. Drinking the water, on the other hand, becomes virtually impossible.
Transmutation Level: Clr 3, Drd 3, Rgr 3, Tmp 3 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: 1 touched creature/level Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) As the spell is completed, the recipients feel lighter, as if they are floating on air. They hover slightly above the ground, allowing them to walk on any surface. The transmuted creatures can tread on an unstable surface as if it were firm ground. Mud, oil, silt, snow, quicksand, running water, ice, and even lava can be traversed easily; since the subjects’ feet hover an inch or two above the surface (creatures crossing molten lava still take damage from the heat). The creatures can walk, run, charge, or otherwise move across the surface as if it were normal ground. If the spell is cast underwater or under silt (or while the subjects are partially or wholly submerged in whatever liquid they are in), the subjects are borne toward the surface at 60 feet per round until they can stand on it. Note: This spell replaces the water walking spell from the Player’s Handbook.
Transmutation Level: Drd 9, Ruinous Swarm 9 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour/level (D) Your skin bulges and it feels as if hundreds of insects crawl beneath it. In an explosion of flesh and blood, a swarm of agony beetles burst from your body, taking the shape of your form, accompanied by a loud buzzing.
Your body and equipment transform into a swarm of agony beetles with a collective will. This spell functions as shapechange: You gain all extraordinary and supernatural abilities (both attacks and qualities) of the assumed form, but you lose your own supernatural abilities. You also gain the type of the new form in place of your own. The new form does not disorient you. Parts of your body or pieces of equipment that are separated from you do not revert to their original forms. If the swarm disperses, you die.

The save DC is Constitution–based.
Transmutation [Water] Level: Living Waters 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: Cylinder (15‐ft. radius, 20 ft. high) Duration: 1 day Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No You create a honey–flavored cocoon of purified water, imbued with positive energy. The water sparkles in the sun, a testament to its healing qualities. You neutralize all poisons, diseases, curses, or other maladies in water in the spell’s area, but water leaving the area becomes as foul as before. Any breathing creature
170
can breathe normally in the water. Creatures who drink a gallon of sweet water gain a +4 resistance bonus on saves against poisons for the duration of the spell and they heal 1d8 hit points. A creature can benefit from this healing only once per single casting of sweet water.
Evocation Level: Wiz 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: 20‐ft.–radius spread Effect: One storm Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reflex negates Spell Resistance: Yes You create a monstrous storm, with, ominous cerulean clouds rolling into the area and unleashing the full fury of the Cerulean Storm. Hail, lightning, hurricane winds, slashing rain, acidic vapors, and furious thunder rock the area. Any living creatures in the designated area must make a Reflex save or be completely obliterated. Material Component: A waterskin full of water, a tiny replica of a lightning bolt carved of wood or bone, and a pinch of powdered silver.
Necromancy [Cold, Death] Level: Wiz 4 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: 40 ft. Area: 40‐ft.–radius burst, centered on you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes You open a conduit to the Black, gating forth an inky–black cube of numbing cold nothingness, sapping the life–force of anything it touches. This spell calls into being a 40–foot cube of inky–black nothingness that chills everything inside it and deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Those who are successful take only half damage from the numbing cold. All within the cube take a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for the next 1d4+1 rounds whether they succeed or not. Material Component: A shard of obsidian or glass.
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 7, Dead Heart 5, Wiz 7 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch Target: One zombie Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: See text Spell Resistance: See text In a macabre ritual, you sacrifice some of your essence to imbue a mindless zombie with a sentience of its own. You restore its memory and skills it once knew in life. You recall a mindless zombie’s consciousness from the Gray, transforming it into a thinking zombie (TotDL 78). This spell restores personality, memory, identity, skills, class levels—everything but life. The creature remains undead, and if you previously controlled the zombie, you may elect to retain control of it, but its Hit Dice count against the total you can control with animate dead; if you exceed that number, excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled. Many creatures prefer not to return from the Gray to inhabit an undead body. If the creature is unwilling to return, it can make a Will save using its save bonus from life (not that of the target zombie). The spirit’s spell resistance, if any, also applies. Some clerics and all druids transformed into thinking zombies become ex–members of their class. The “good vs. evil” component of the thinking zombie’s alignment becomes evil, but creatures who were nonevil in life usually gain the death wish weakness (TotDL 18). Material Component: An item significant to the zombie’s former life, such as an article of clothing, a favorite piece of equipment, etc. XP Cost: 20 XP per HD of the thinking zombie to be created.
Necromancy [Evil] Level: Dead Heart 9, Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Target: Living, corporeal creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes The powerful being heaves for breath, as you leech off its life force. Your grey hairs are reduced and wrinkles smoothened somewhat, while the other appears much older. This spell makes you younger at the expense of another creature. The victim must have Hit Dice equal or greater than your character level and must be at full hit points when you cast the spell. The caster and the victim must be in continuous contact throughout the casting of this spell; any interruption negates the spell. At the completion of this spell, the victim ages ten years while you become one year younger. Outsiders and plants are immune to this spell.
171
Enchantment Level: Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You force a creature to remain awake for an extended period of time. Bloodshot eyes that see tiny sparkling lights will not close before the spell ends, when the creature collapses from exhaustion. The subject of this spell cannot naturally fall asleep. When this spell ends, the subject becomes exhausted. Another wakefulness cast before the previous expires allows the subject to stave off exhaustion, but the subject must afterwards get eight hours of sleep for each casting to remove exhaustion or fatigue. This spell counters, and is countered by, spells that induce magical slumber (such as sleep).
Divination (Scrying) Level: Burning Eyes 7 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 round Range: 10 miles/level Effect: Fiery sensor Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No In the dancing flames you see a remote vision of an area surrounding another fire. Your face appears in the fire as a dark silhouette. You use a small fire to scry through other fires within range. You know how many fires burn within range and the approximate location of each. Once per minute, you may choose one of these fires and peer out of it as if you were actually within the flames. Anyone watching the fire sees a dark face within but can only dispel the visage by extinguishing the flame or casting some form of protection from scrying. You may communicate through the flames but cannot cast spells or use other abilities. If your flame is put out, then the spell ends prematurely. Focus: A fire as small as a candle flame that you light yourself.
Transmutation [Electricity] Level: Sky Blitz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level)
Area: 30‐ft.–radius emanation Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: Yes Tiny, glowing algae appear on the hide and flesh of those with bodies containing water. The algae illuminate the area with a bright light. With the exception of you and everything that you are carrying, all living creatures and objects that contain more than one gallon of water glow as if affected by a light spell. Once per round, as a free action, you may cause an affected creature or object to emit lightning. The affected creature or object takes 5d8 points of electricity damage. Creatures within 10 feet of the target also take 5d8 points of electricity damage (Reflex save for half damage).
Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sky Blitz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: A quantity of water between 1 and 100 gallons Duration: 1 hour/level or until discharged Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance: Yes A low hum is heard as you touch the water, preparing your trap. Anyone touching the body of water will experience a strong electrical current. This spell entraps a small body of water (ranging from 1 pint to 100 gallons) with an electric charge. The first creature to touch the water receives a shock that inflicts 1d6 points of electricity damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). The water instantly evaporates when the spell discharges.
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drowning Despair 5 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Target: Body of water up to 20 ft. in diameter Duration: 1 day/level (D) Saving Throw: Reflex negates Spell Resistance: Yes Tiny air bubbles rise from the water, as if a creature lurks near the surface. As the bubbles disappear, there is no evidence of the trap set in place. When a creature of Large size or smaller (but no larger than the body of water) touches the pool, oasis, or watering hole altered by this spell, it must make an immediate Reflex saving throw. Failure indicates that the
172
victim is instantly pulled under the surface and trapped. Creatures pulled under by this spell will find that the surface of the water now has a tough, rubbery consistency that makes escape very difficult. Treat the water’s surface as if affected by the surface tension spell.
Transmutation [Water] Level: Drd 7, Living Waters 7 Components: V, S, M, XP Casting Time: 8 hours Range: Touch Target: One gallon of liquid Duration: See Text Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: No You create an elixir of potent herbs that heals wounds and other ailments. The serum smells sweetly, like kank honey, only purer, and glows in the darkness. You transform one gallon of any liquid into sweet– smelling serum that cures hit point damage, blindness, disease, poisoning, and fungal growth (such as the transformation of flesh into green slime), regenerates lost organs and limbs, and ends magical enchantments. You give half of the potion to the subject and drink the rest yourself. Drinking the half gallon requires one minute. If the subject is unconscious, then you can wet the subject’s lips with the elixir and anoint its face and body with the rest of its share. Once you drink your half, the subject is healed as though it received the spells heal , break enchantment , and regenerate. The subject’s ailments transfer to you. You suffer all hit point damage, ability damage, poisons, curses, and diseases—everything that previously afflicted the subject. You fall into a near–comatose state for 1 hour while your body fights off infections and repairs the damage. At the end of the hour, you awaken and must make a Fortitude save (DC 20). If you succeed, you are healed as the subject was, and all is well. If you fail, you retain every injury and ailment the subject had suffered, and you are exhausted. You can use rare and expensive herbs to reverse even death itself, as long as the subject could be raised by the raise dead spell. On drinking the elixir, the subject suffers a loss in level. Raising the dead with this spell brings your Fortitude save DC to 25; you die if you fail the save. As a third option, you may instead divide the waters of life into 8 pint–sized flasks, which require only a standard action to drink. The flask heals 3d8 points of damage and cures one of the conditions listed above. These smaller doses do not require you to drink them and do not cause a coma. XP Cost: 1,000 XP. Material Component: Local herbs with a value no less than 100 Cp. If you wish to raise the dead, you must use rare herbs costing 5,000 Cp.
Conjuration [Teleportation, Water] Level: Living Waters 9 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: You plus 1 creature/level (see text) Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes Your skin takes on a bluish, translucent scaly appearance. Submerging yourself in water, you resurface in another locale. You can use natural water sources (such as wells, springs, lakes, or rivers) as conduits for teleportation. This spell functions as greater teleport , except you must leave from and arrive at a body of water. As long as this spell endures, water does not adhere to any of the spell subjects, so you step out of the water as dry as a bone. The waterways spell does not terminate when you reach your destination. As long as the spell duration persists, you can reenter any natural water source and attempt to travel again. Thus, you could use this spell to travel from an oasis pool to a noble’s private well, rescue a prisoner from the noble’s dungeons, dive back into the noble’s well and “swim” to yet another body of water far away.
Transmutation [Earth] Level: Earthen Embrace 7 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 round Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Cylinder (20‐ft. radius, 50 ft. deep) Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Reflex negates Spell Resistance: No The ground collapses, drawing desperate creatures into a whirlpool of rock and sand. Those disappearing in the vortex will slowly suffocate to death. This spell turns earth or sand into a swirling sea of rock and earth. Anyone standing in the area must make a Reflex save. Failure indicates that they have been sucked into the center of the whirlpool and must make a Swim check (DC 20) each round. Creatures that make three successful checks in a row are able to make their way to the edge of the pool and pull themselves free. Failing a single skill check means that the creature is pulled below the surface (and must hold its breath) until it succeeds at a Swim check. Failing two Swim checks in a row means that the character has been pulled 1d6x5 feet under the earth.
173
Enchantment [Mind–affecting] Level: Drd 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: 4 hours Range: 1 mile/level Area: Emanation with radius 1 mile/level, centered on a natural object Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No The smell of raw meat and sickly sweet flowers permeates the air and is caught by the wind, attracting wild creatures to your location. An object you designate attracts wild animals and magical beasts. It must be a natural object, such as a tree or boulder, of at least Medium size. Wild animals and magical beasts gravitate slowly over several weeks to occupy the area of effect. Druids use this spell to protect their guarded lands. Each week, creatures with total HD equal to the caster’s level are attracted to the site and remain if the environment can support them. If there is not sufficient plant and animal life to support the creatures, they will leave. Wild lands can be dispelled by destroying the object that serves as the focal point of the spell.
Conjuration (Creation) Level: Ill Winds 9 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level Area: Cylinder (50‐ft. radius, 30 ft. high) Duration: 1 year or until discharged (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes You meticulously trace the path of the area to be trapped. As you complete the pattern, you smear yourself with the dried egg yolk, and bury the bronze sun dial in the ground. This spell traps a large area, and the trap is triggered by certain conditions that you must define ahead of time. When the conditions that you specify are met, the trap discharges, creating a cloud of fumes 30 feet high. You can designate these fumes to duplicate stinking cloud , cloudkill , acid fog , or incendiary cloud , or you can use this cloud to distribute a contact or inhaled poison used as a material component. Casting this spell is a largely mental process; you slowly walk the area to be trapped for ten minutes, envisioning the rising fumes and deciding on the conditions that will trigger its activation. When the meditation period ends, you may leave the area and the trap remains set for 1 year.
You set the conditions under which a creature in the area will trigger the trap. The conditions may be as simple or as complex as you like, and they cannot be changed once the spell is placed; the caster should be careful about the wording lest the trap trigger unintentionally. Some possible conditions are: whenever anyone steps foot in this grove, whenever a templar draw his or her weapons. When the condition is met, the area is engulfed in fumes, and everyone inside is affected. The fumes dissipate after 1 round per caster level. A moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from the gust of wind spell, disperses the trap in 4 rounds. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the trap in 1 round. Material Component: A bronze sundial and the dried yolk of an erdlu egg. If the cloud duplicates a poison, you also need a dose of that poison.
Transmutation Level: Tmp 6 Components: DF Casting Time: 1 swift action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round The omnipotence of your liege is manifested as your sigil attains an ominous yellow sheen, allowing you to unleash a spell with maximum potential. This spell grants spellcasting power directly from your sorcerer‐king. You may apply one of the following metamagic feats to a spell of 4th level or lower you cast this turn: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Maximize Spell, Silent Spell, or Still Spell.
Transmutation Level: Clr 3, Drd 3, Rgr 3, Tmp 3, Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Living creatures touched Duration: 2 hours/level (see text) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The skin crawls and sharp pain stings in the chest, as the body ceases to breathe with its lungs, instead absorbing oxygen into the capillaries under the skin’s surface. The transmuted creatures can breathe freely regardless of being submerged in water, silt, or earth. Divide the duration evenly among all the creatures you touch. The subjects can breathe normally in silt–filled air (commonly known as the gray death), but otherwise get no benefits against inhaled poisons or gaseous contact poisons of any sort.

Divination Level: Tmp 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 20‐ft.–radius burst Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None; Will negates (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes Clenching your sigil, you call upon the omniscience of your king to reveal transgressions of the law, and to allow you to swiftly exact justice. With this spell, you know whether creatures in the spell’s area have broken the laws of your city‐state, and you can exact punishment on them if they have. You instantly know what crimes the creatures committed, when, and under what circumstances. There is no save to avoid the divination. If you have one of the following spells available, you may immediately cast it at a creature within the area. Casting the spell is a free action, like casting a quickened spell, and it counts toward the normal limit of one quickened spell per round. You may choose from cause fear , command , dispel magic , and hold person. The target can make a Will save to avoid the effect (except for dispel magic), and the spell functions normally in all other ways.
Transmutation Level: Drd 3, Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: 1d4 berries from a zombie plant Duration: 1 day/level; see text Saving Throw: None; see text Spell Resistance: No; see text Purple fumes and a sickly sweet odor momentarily seep from the berries you enchant with the enslaving feature of the zombie plant. Casting zombie berry on a handful of berries from a zombie plant temporarily alters them so that instead of becoming enslaved by the zombie plant, the one who consumes such a berry becomes your loyal servant instead. You can always tell which berries you have affected. Any humanoid eating one of the berries must succeed at a Will save or be affected as by the charm person spell (this is a mind–affecting effect).
Unlike arcane magic, psionics is an accepted part of life on Athas. Wild talents and psionicists aren’t feared. Instead, a community’s psionic members are valued as vital assets and encouraged to improve. In many ways, psionics has become the edge needed to compete and survive in this unforgiving and dangerous world.
Many creatures have learned to shape portions of their own psyche to attack other psyches, to defend their own psyche in unusual ways, or to directly affect the physical world. The general term psionics refers to the ability to use one’s psychic energy to affect the world outside of the mindscape. Various animals, monsters, humanoids, and even plants use psionics in various degrees and applications. Those who specialize in psionics are called psions; those whose psionic abilities are a lesser part of their lives are called wild talents; those who use any type of telepathic psionics are called mindbenders.
Athasian magic works in a very different way than psionics and most forms of protection do not apply to both. Therefore, all Dark Sun 3 materials uses the Psionics is Different variant rule (XPH 65).
Most Athasians who can afford supernatural services resort to psionics, because it is much easier to find, and cheaper. Almost every major city‐state or settlement has some sort of psionic academy that can perform services. However, most sorts of services are still mundane, especially when compared to other settings. This section discusses in general terms the kinds of psionic services that are available and their impact on society. Specific prices are given in Chapter 5: Equipment.
The specialist area of many telepaths, long‐distance communication is only one of the many services provided by the adepts of telepathy, with abilities such as mindlink and correspond. In addition, they can also serve as interpreters with psionic tongues , and repair mental damage with psychic chirurgery.
Psionic transportation is available in a variety of forms and controlled by nomads in Athas. Certain psiologists from city academies can use psionic teleport to travel limited distances, carrying passengers for a fee. Many kineticists create and operate several psionic ships powered with obsidian engines, making them able

The amount of information you discern about the target depends on how long you focus on the subject. 1st Round: Social class of the target, such as slave, freeman, templar or noble. If the target is from a classless society (such as an elf tribe or a small village), the spell reveals him as a freeman. 2nd Round: Primary allegiance of the target, such as a patron element, sorcerer–monarch, a slave’s master, or a druid’s guarded lands (reveals a brief glimpse of the land, not its specific location). This doesn’t need to be an allegiance the character embraces, such as a slave, only the primary one in her life. This only reveals the allegiance the character regularly projects, not any hidden or secret allegiances. 3rd Round: Most commonly used name of target. 4th Round: Profession of the target. Again, this only reveals information the target openly projects. So if a wizard masquerades as a bricklayer, this power reveals that they are a bricklayer. 5th+ Round: Any additional professions held by the character, currently or previously.

(Damage sacrificed this way counts towards massive damage as described in the Player’s Handbook.) Every living creature in the area of effect must make a Fortitude save or receive negative energy damage equal to the amount you sacrificed.
