Reality Maelstrom
Evocation
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 9
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: 20-ft.-radius emanation centered on a point in space, and 40-ft.-radius emanation centered on the same point; see text
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Will negates, Reflex negates; see text
Spell Resistance: YesA lightning strike and a tearing sound as loud as thunder fills the area as a hole in space opens. Wind rushes into the void, and objects nearby lift into the air as everything is drawn inexorably toward the rip in reality.
You tear a temporary hole in reality itself that sucks all loose material and living creatures into it, sending them to a random plane (see sidebar). Everything sucked into the reality maelstrom goes to the same plane.
Reality maelstrom has a primary area and a secondary area. The primary area is the hole itself: a sphere with a 20-foot radius centered on the spell’s point of origin. Within that area, all unattended objects weighing 100 pounds or less are sucked into the maelstrom, as are all individuals who fail a Will saving throw.
The rip also creates a windstorm of air that affects objects and creatures in the secondary area of the spell. The secondary area is all the space farther than 20 feet from the spell’s point of origin but not farther than 40 feet away. All unattended objects within the secondary area that weigh 50 pounds or less are drawn into the primary area of the maelstrom. Individuals within the secondary area must make a Reflex saving throw. Those who fail are sucked into the primary area and must then make a Will saving throw to avoid being drawn into the maelstrom. Individuals who succeed on either saving throw can move and attack as normal.
A reality maelstrom is a one-way portal, so nothing ever emerges from the hole the spell makes.
Material Component: A golden hoop no less than 1 inch across.

Masterwork Transformation
School transmutation; Level bard 2, cleric/oracle 2, druid 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, witch 2; Subdomain greed 2; Elemental School void 2CASTING
Casting Time 1 hour
Components V, S, M (see below)EFFECT
Range touch
Target one weapon, suit of armor, shield, tool, or skill kit touched
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance noDESCRIPTION
You convert a non-masterwork item into its masterwork equivalent. A normal sword becomes a masterwork sword, a suit of leather armor becomes a masterwork suit of leather armor, a set of thieves’ tools becomes masterwork thieves’ tools, and so on. If the target object has no masterwork equivalent, the spell has no effect. You can affect 50 pieces of ammunition as if they were one weapon. You decide if the object’s appearance changes to reflect this improved quality.
The material component for the spell is magical reagents worth the cost difference between a normal item and the equivalent masterwork item (typically 300 gp for a weapon, 150 gp for armor, or 50 gp for a tool). If an object has multiple masterwork options (such as a double weapon, or a spiked shield that could be made masterwork as a weapon or armor), you choose one option of the object to affect (though you can cast the spell again to affect another option).

Gravity Bow
School transmutation; Level ranger 1, sorcerer/wizard 1; Elemental School metal 1, void 1CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, SEFFECT
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.

Unseen Crafter
(Races of Eberron, p. 191)Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Artificer 2, Bard 2, Cleric 2, Sorcerer 2, Wizard 2,
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One invisible, mindless, shapeless servant
Duration: 1 day/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: NoThis spell functions as unseen servant, except that the unseen crafter can be assigned any one task that can be accomplished by the use of the Craft skill. Appropriate tools and materials must be provided for the unseen crafter; it makes Craft checks using your ranks in the skill plus your bonus for the relevant spellcasting ability (Intelligence for artificers, wizards, and magewrights, Charisma for bards and sorcerers, and Wisdom for clerics).
An unseen crafter can take 10 or attempt to work more quickly (as described in the Craft skill description, page 70 of the Player’s Handbook), but this must be part of the command it is given when the spell is cast. Once the unseen crafter has completed the assigned task, the spell ends as if dismissed. If the unseen crafter leaves work undone, any creature or another unseen crafter can continue it.
Special: When the unseen crafter is commanded to repair a warforged, it receives a +10 bonus on its Craft check.

Energy Siege Shot
School transmutation [variable]; Level sorcerer/wizard 5, summoner 5CASTING
Casting Time 10 minutes
Component V, S, M (a ball of pitch)
EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one Large siege engine
Duration 10 minute/level
Saving Throw Fort negates (harmless, object); Spell Resistance yes (harmless, object)DESCRIPTION
This spell transforms any ammunition fired by the target ranged siege engine into ammunition made of pure energy. When casting the spell, the caster picks a one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, sonic, or force. The ammunition within the siege engine now deals that type of energy damage on a hit, though the amount of damage dealt by the ammunition does not change, nor does it change any of the other effects of the ammunition. Unlike other forms of energy damage, this energy damage does full damage to objects.
Based on the type of energy the caster chose while casting, the ammunition also gains one of the following effects.
Acid: The ammunition deals half its damage in a splash to all creatures and unattended objects within 15 feet of the target hit by the siege engine. Creatures can halve the splash damage with a Reflex saving throw. The DC of the splash is the same as the DC of the spell.
Cold: The ammunition creates an ice sheen within a 20-foot-radius burst around the target of the siege engine’s attack. That sheen lasts 1d6 rounds. Creatures within the ice sheen are entangled. Any creature within the area of the ice sheen at the start of its turn takes 2d6 cold damage.
Electricity: Creatures hit by the siege engine attack or within 15 feet of the attack are staggered for 1 round.
Fire: Creatures and wood objects within 15 feet of the attack may catch on fire.
Sonic: Creatures hit by the attack or within 20 feet of the attack must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be deafened for one hour. The DC of this effect is the same as the spell DC.
Force: No extra effect.

Surge of Fortune
(Complete Champion)Transmutation
Level: Cleric 5,
Components: V, S, DF,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level or until dischargedThe power of your deity flows through you, guiding your movements and honing your instincts.
Upon casting this spell, you gain a +2 luck bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and spell penetration checks, as well as to Armor Class.
At any point before the spell expires, you can channel some of its remaining power into a single instant of perfect fortune as an immediate action.
The result of the next attack roll, saving throw, skill check, ability check, or spell penetration check you attempt is treated as a natural 20, as long as it occurs within 1 round of the time you invoked this power.(If you use it for an attack roll, you must still roll to confirm the critical hit normally).
Using this option instantly ends the spell. -

School transmutation (polymorph); Level occultist 6, sorcerer/wizard 9, witch 9
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, F (a book bound in precious metals and treated with rare oils, worth 1,000 gp per HD of the target)EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target creature touched
Duration permanent
Saving Throw Fort negates; Spell Resistance yesDESCRIPTION
This spell binds a single creature into a prepared book, sustaining it in suspended animation and filling the book with its experience and knowledge. The tome weighs 10 pounds and has one page for every day of the subject’s life. The cover and binding transform to reflect the subject’s appearance, interests, and tastes. Every thought and memory—including those the target may have forgotten long ago—are perfectly transcribed within the enchanted pages, penned in excruciating detail in the language that the creature was thinking or speaking in when the event occurred. If a memory includes dialogue in a language the subject didn’t understand, that dialogue is reproduced phonetically, and must be translated by a reader who knows that language. Any alterations to a subject’s memories—such as by a modify memory spell—appear in a subtly different script; a successful DC 35 Linguistics check is needed to identify this.
Spells that modify or remove text—such as erase or secret page—also affect the target’s memory if they persist after its release. Modify memory can be used to repair any changes to its original state, or alter the accounts recorded within the book.
A creature imprisoned by scribe’s binding automatically fails any saving throws against effects to change or modify its memories.
A target bound by this spell can be freed by only freedom, miracle, or wish. Polymorph any object restores the target’s normal form for 24 hours. Scribe’s binding makes the imprisoning tome supernaturally durable (hardness 20, 10 hp per HD the imprisoned creature had). Destroying the tome immediately slays the creature imprisoned within.

Casting Time: 1 standard actionComponents: V, S, F (great wyrm gold dragon heart scale)

Magic Castle
School: Conjuration (Creation); Level: Sor/Wiz 9
Casting Time: 30 minutes
Components: V, S, M (rod of security)
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Effect: One magical castle
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None; Spell Resistance: No
With a grand display of magical energies, you instantaneously
create a castle of your design that has two rooms
per caster level. The entire square footage of the castle
cannot exceed 100,000 square feet. The castle walls are
made of stone, the doors of wood (with DC 30 locks), although
the hardness of all materials is increased by 5. The
interior of the castle is fully furnished, and each room is
magically lit with a brightness level that varies with your
whim (from daylight to magical darkness). The castle also
automatically contains weapons (melee and ranged) and
chain hauberks enough to outfit 50 guards or defenders. In
addition, you can choose one of the following options:
• The castle exists on another plane (an otherwise empty
pocket dimension), with the only doorway existing on
the plane on which you cast the spell. The doorway you
attach the spell to must be in range at the time of casting
or the spell creates a freestanding doorway to you
specifications.
• The castle floats in the air at a height of your choosing.
The magic keeping the castle in the air cannot be
dispelled or suppressed.
• The castle is surrounded by a ward through which one
general type of creature, chosen by you, cannot pass
(undead, aberrations, humanoids, etc.).
Lastly, you can choose to have any portion of the castle
disappear or fall apart upon your death, or you can choose
to have the whole place collapse at the time of your demise.
If the castle floats, you can have it fall when you die.[Reference: 1001 Spells, Page 153, Rite Publishing]

Sunfire Tomb
School: Conjuration (Teleportation) [Light]; Level: Clr
9, Drd 9
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S, DF
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates; Spell Resistance: YesYou transfer a target, body and soul, into the sun, where
he remains (with all of his equipment), held entombed in
stasis forever. For the subject, time ceases to flow and he
grows no older. His bodily functions virtually cease, and
no force or effect can harm him. He is, however, painfully
aware of the heat and light around him—those sensations
are all he experiences while entombed in the sun. The subject
remains there unless someone casts a freedom spell at
the locale where sunfire tomb was originally cast, whereupon
the subject reappears in that locale. Magical search
by scrying, a locate creature spell, or similar divination
does not reveal the fact that a creature is entombed, but
discern location does. A miracle or wish spell will not free
the recipient but will reveal where he is entombed.
The sunfire tomb spell functions only if the target’s name
and some facts about his life are known.[Reference: 1001 Spells, Page 230, Rite Publishing]

Spellbore
School: Abjuration; Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Components: V
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: See text
If the caster casts another spell in the same round, and that
spell creates a ray or energy missile, that ray or missile can
travel through antimagic effects without being suppressed

Dweomer Nova
School: Transmutation; Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S, M (a firefly)
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
When you use this power, you tap into massive amounts
of arcane energy that you can use to fuel future spells you
cast, but you lose a great amount of mobility. Upon casting
this spell you radiate a bright multi-colored light. You
provide bright illumination in a 40-foot radius, and shadowy
illumination for an additional 40 feet. Your feet lift
off the ground and you hover six inches in the air. For the
duration of this spell, as the spell is not dismissible, you
cannot move from your spot, and you lose your Dexterity
bonus to AC, but you gain a +8 bonus to CMD, and it requires
a successful Strength check (DC 20+ your primary
caster ability modifier) for another creature to move you
from that spot.
You also benefit tremendously from the spell. You gain a
+8 inherent bonus to your primary casting ability score
(Intelligence for wizards or Charisma for sorcerers) and
a +5 bonus to your caster level. You gain spell resistance
equal to 11 + your (modified) caster level.[Reference: 1001 Spells, Page 101, Rite Publishing]

Bastion of Pure Magic
School: Abjuration; Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Components: V, S, M (a spherical opal worth at least
500 gp)
Range: Touch
Area: 15-ft.-diameter emanation centered on the caster
Effect: One charged gemDuration: See text
Casting this spell stores magical energy within the gem
that can be later released. The gem continues to store
this energy until activated or dispelled; there is no time
limit. As long as the gem remains prepared, one 8th level
spell slot is unavailable to the caster. Dispelling the gem’s
charge has no effect on the gem and returns the spell slot
(empty) to the caster. When the gem is activated (a standard
action that requires only that the gem be in hand), it
is destroyed, crumbling to powder. However, an area of
pure magic surrounds the caster and suppresses any antimagic
effects that overlap the emanation. The emanation
lasts for one round per caster level. Only the caster may
activate the gem; if the gem leaves the caster’s possession
at any time, the charge is dispelled.[Reference: 1001 Spells, Page 46, Rite Publishing]

Transmutation
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 7
Components: V, S, M, XP
Casting Time: 4 rounds
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 40-ft.-radius spread
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: YesYou hold the eye in your palm, sprinkle it with blood and diamonds, and speak the words. Slowly it rises from your hand, emitting a soft beam that illuminates the chosen area. Then it disappears, and you place the spell within the magic trap.
You create a lingering zone of transformative magic that absorbs magic energy from magic items or spellcasting and uses it to power another spell tied to that location. For example, you could have an energy transformation field tied to a summon monster V spell that would summon a monster when the field had absorbed enough magic.
The field absorbs the magic of spells cast, spell-like or supernatural abilities that are activated, and magic items used within its dimensions. Each source of magic provides spell levels of energy to the field equal to the spell level of the effect used. Supernatural abilities that emulate spells provide energy equal to the spell level of the effect. Supernatural abilities that do not emulate spells provide energy equal to the HD of the creature using the ability. For example, a cast fireball spell or a charge from a wand of fireball would add three spell levels to the field’s store, a potion of cure light wounds would add one, and a wish from a ring of three wishes would add nine. Items that don’t have a clearly defined spell level (such as the effects of most rods) use the prerequisite caster level needed to create that item (so an immovable rod would provide two spell levels every time it was activated because of its levitate prerequisite). Effects that are absorbed give no indication of where the magic went; they simply vanish.
The field absorbs only magic that is actually used within its area. Ongoing magical effects that enter the area, including spells cast from outside the area into the field or continually functioning items such as a +1 mace, are often visibly reduced, but do not have their actual effects hindered. For example, a continual flame would dim slightly, but its overall magic would not be affected.
An energy transformation field has a single spell linked to it. When the field has absorbed spell levels equal to the spell level of its linked spell, it automatically casts that spell at a point within the field designated by you at the time of the casting of the field. This expends those absorbed spell levels (although unused levels remain until they are used or expire). The cast spell functions as if cast by you in terms of duration and all level-based spell effects. Absorbed spell levels fade at a rate of one per day if not used. The field automatically triggers its linked spell if it has enough stored spell levels and the duration of its previous casting has expired. If a linked spell requires concentration to maintain, the field expends one spell level for every hour of concentration (the field’s concentration is interrupted only by its complete destruction). Spells that require a target will target the living creature nearest to the field.
Typical spells linked to an energy transformation fi eld are blindness/deafness, fireball, suggestion, summon monster, or wall of force. Spells that have a costly material component or an XP cost cannot be linked to a field, but those with a costly focus can if the focus object is present within the field (typically sealed into a wall or in a secret compartment).
Only Mordenkainen’s disjunction, limited wish, wish, or similar spells can destroy the energy transformation field. Spells of lower level, such as dispel magic and greater dispel magic, are absorbed by it, and an antimagic field prevents it from absorbing magical energy within the field but does not otherwise hamper this spell. If two or more field spells share an overlapping area, each field has an equal chance of absorbing a spell effect in that area.
Material Component: Three drops of your blood, an eye from any humanoid, and 5,000 gp worth of powdered diamond.
XP Cost: 250 XP.Source Description: Spell Compendium
