    For future reference, the spire was crystalline star metal. Exact properties are yet undefined. DM leanings are that it is manacite that is formed in a star and has properties that make it conducive to spelljamming. Mostly used in spelljamming helms.

    bullet point #3 is slightly incorrect - if it prevents speech, it’d block VERBAL components of spellcasting, not somatic (which means gestures)

    Locate City (Races of Destiny) Divination Level: Bard 1, Ranger 1, Sorcerer 1, Wizard 1, Spellthief 1, Consecrated Harrier 1, Components: V, Casting Time: 1 round Range: 10 miles/level Area: 10 miles/level radius circle, centered on you Duration: Instantaneous You sense the distance and direction to the nearest community of a minimum size designated by you at the time of casting. For instance, you could choose to find the nearest community at least as large as a village, or you could choose to locate only the nearest metropolis. This spell measures the distance to the “nearest” community as the minimum distance one would have to travel to reach the city without moving through solid objects. Thus, a caster on the surface isn’t likely to locate a subterranean city half a mile beneath his feet, even if the next closest community is 5 miles away overland.

    Searing Spell ( Sandstorm, p. 53) [Metamagic] Your fire spells are so hot that they can damage creatures that normally have resistance or immunity to fire. Prerequisite Benefit A searing spell is so hot that it ignores the resistance to fire of creatures affected by the spell, and affected creatures with immunity to fire still take half damage. This feat can be applied only to spells with the fire descriptor. Creatures with the cold subtype take double damage from a searing spell. Creatures affected by a searing spell are still entitled to whatever saving throw the spell normally allows. A searing spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

    Gravity Bow School transmutation; Level ranger 1, sorcerer/wizard 1; Elemental School metal 1, void 1 CASTING Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S EFFECT Range personal Targets you Duration 1 minute/level (D) DESCRIPTION Gravity bow significantly increases the weight and density of arrows or bolts fired from your bow or crossbow the instant before they strike their target and then return them to normal a few moments later. Any arrow fired from a bow or crossbow you are carrying when the spell is cast deals damage as if one size larger than it actually is. For instance, an arrow fired from a Medium longbow normally deals 1d8 points of damage, but it would instead deal 2d6 points of damage if fired from a gravity bow (see table on this page for associated increase/decrease in damage due to size change). Only you can benefit from this spell. If anyone else uses your bow to make an attack the arrows deal damage as normal for their size. Table: Weapon Damage Size Conversion Tiny Weapon Damage Small Weapon Damage Medium Weapon Damage Large Weapon Damage Huge Weapon Damage — 1 1d2 1d3 1d4 1 1d2 1d3 1d4 1d6 1d2 1d3 1d4 1d6 1d8 1d3 1d4 1d6 1d8 2d6 1d4 1d6 1d8 2d6 3d6 1d6 1d8 1d10 2d8 3d8 1d8 1d10 1d12 3d6 4d6 1d4 1d6 2d4 2d6 3d6 1d8 1d10 2d6 3d6 4d6 1d10 2d6 2d8 3d8 4d8 2d6 2d8 2d10 4d8 6d8

    Sakkratar’s Triple Strike (Lost Empires of Faerûn) Transmutation Level: Sorcerer 5, Wizard 5, Components: V, S, M, Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creature/level, no two of which may be more than 30 ft. apart Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) This spell, created by a coronal of Cormanthyr from days long past, imbues a number of targets with devastating speed in battle.

These extra attacks are made using the subject’s full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. In addition, each affected creature’s melee weapon bursts into pure white flame, gaining the keen and flaming burst special abilities for the duration of the spell. This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as a haste spell or a weapon of speed, nor does it grant an extra action. Material Component: A three-faceted prism.

    Staff Expertise [Epic] [Epic Insights; Epic Level Magic by Andy Collins; Wizards Archive - 03/14/2003] You can activate staffs with the speed that an archer fires arrows. Prerequisites: Craft Staff, Master Staff, Quicken Spell, Spellcraft 30 ranks. Benefits: You may activate a staff in place of an attack instead of as a standard action. As a full-round action, you could thus make as many staff activations as you could normally make ranged attacks. For instance, if your base attack bonus is +11, you could activate a staff three times as a full-round action. If you also had the Rapid Shot feat, you could activate the staff four times as a full-round action. Each activation after the first costs one additional charge from the staff, cumulative. Thus, the second activation in a round costs 2 extra charges, the third activation 3 extra charges, and so forth.
