Wand Modulation
(Complete Scoundrel, p. 105)Transmutation
Level: Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3, Spellthief 3,
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Touch
Target: One touched wand
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw: Yes (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object)Manipulating the very magic that infuses your wand, you alter that energy, opening the magic item to a new power of your choosing.
By casting wand modulation on the target wand you hold, you temporarily alter it to cast a different spell. After casting this spell, the next spell you cast upon the target wand affects the remaining charges, allowing the wand to discharge that spell instead of the one it was created to cast.
The spell cast after wand modulation must be of a lower level than the spell the wand normally casts. Replacement spells cast from the affected wand are cast at the minimum caster level. Each use of an affected wand now expends 2 charges from the wand instead of the usual single charge. If the wand holds insufficient charges to invoke the new spell, it cannot be activated. You can’t use wand modulation to change a wand’s spell to one with a costly material component or focus or with an
XP component, even if the original spell has a similar component or focus.For example, a 5th-level wizard facing an angry fire elemental wishes to cast magic missile (a 1st-level spell) from his wand of scorching ray (a 2nd-level spell), which happens to have a caster level of 5th. He casts wand modulation and in the following round casts magic missile. The wand can now cast magic missile as a 1st-level caster (the minimum caster level), but each use expends 2 charges. The wizard can now use the wand to cast magic missile for 5 minutes, after which it reverts back to a normal wand of scorching ray.

Anyspell
(Spell Compendium, p. 14)Transmutation
Level: Spell 3,
Components: V, S, M, AF, DF, XP,
Casting Time: 15 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: InstantaneousAlthough there is no visible effect from this spellcasting, you channel divine power through your mind, shaping and transforming this energy into the potential to cast one arcane spell.
Anyspell allows you to read and prepare any arcane spell of up to 2nd level. You must have an arcane magical writing (a scroll or spellbook) on hand to cast anyspell. During the spell’s 15-minute casting time, you can scan the spells available and choose one to read and prepare.
Once you choose and prepare an arcane spell, you retain it in your mind. The prepared spell occupies your 3rd-level domain spell slot. If you read the spell from a spellbook, the book is unharmed, but reading a spell from a scroll erases the spell from the scroll.
When you cast the arcane spell, it works just as though cast by a wizard of your cleric level except that your Wisdom score sets the save DC (if applicable). You must have a Wisdom of at least 10 + the arcane spell’s level to prepare and cast it. Your holy symbol substitutes for any noncostly material component. If the spell has a costly material component (one to which a gold piece value is assigned), you must provide it. If the spell has another focus, you must provide the focus. If the spell has an XP component, you must pay the experience point cost.
Anyspell, Greater
(Spell Compendium, p. 15)Transmutation
Level: Spell 6,
Components:This spell functions like anyspell, except you can read and prepare any arcane spell of up to 5th level, and the prepared spell occupies your 6th-level domain spell slot.

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.

This allows you the ability to cast a single spell of 4th level or lower, which then ends the spell’s effect.
Casting invoke magic is a swift action, like casting a quickened spell.
You can perform only one swift action each round.
Normally, you cast invoke magic and then immediately follow it by casting another spell as a standard action.
Material Component: A diamond worth at least 1,000 gp. -

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 80 ft.
Area: 80-ft.-radius emanation, centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: YesThis spell creates an invisible aura of divine power around the caster.
All intelligent creatures within the spell’s area suddenly become aware that any hostile actions they take will be met with dire consequences.
Any creature in the spell’s area that makes an attack takes 20d6 points of damage.
The caster decides whether the spell deals lethal or nonlethal damage but cannot change her mind once the spell is cast.
Creatures with multiple attacks take the damage after every attack they make.
Targets outside the area of the spell may freely attack creatures in the area without taking damage from this spell. -
Elemental Swarm
(Player’s Handbook v.3.5, p. 226)Conjuration (Summoning) [see text]
Level: Druid 9, Warmage 9, Air 9, Earth 9, Fire 9, Water 9, Ocean 9, Dwarf 9,
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: Two or more summoned creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: NoThis spell opens a portal to an Elemental Plane and summons elementals from it. A druid can choose the plane (Air, Earth, Fire, or Water); a cleric opens a portal to the plane matching his domain.
When the spell is complete, 2d4 Large elementals appear. Ten minutes later, 1d4 Huge elementals appear. Ten minutes after that, one greater elemental appears. Each elemental has maximum hit points per HD. Once these creatures appear, they serve you for the duration of the spell.
The elementals obey you explicitly and never attack you, even if someone else manages to gain control over them. You do not need to concentrate to maintain control over the elementals. You can dismiss them singly or in groups at any time.
When you use a summoning spell to summon an air, earth, fire, or water creature, it is a spell of that type. For example, elemental swarm is a fire spell when you cast it to summon fire elementals and a water spell when you use it to summon water elementals.
Special
When casting elemental swarm as an Air Domain spell, only Air elementals may be summoned.
When casting elemental swarm as an Earth or Dwarf Domain spell, only Earth elementals may be summoned.
When casting elemental swarm as a Fire Domain spell, only Fire elementals may be summoned.
When casting elemental swarm as a Water or Ocean Domain spell, only Water elementals may be summoned. -

Mirror Move
Transmutation
Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/levelMirror move allows you to reproduce any general feat with an obvious physical effect that you observed another perform within the past 10 rounds, providing you meet the prerequisites for that feat.
For example, Mialee is proficient with the shortbow but does not possess the Point Blank Shot feat. However, she can watch Soveliss perform the feat, then, using mirror move, she can mimic his Point Blank Shot feat to better attack an orc advancing on her. When the spell dissipates, Mialee can no longer access this feat (unless she later acquires it herself or recasts mirror move for the same effect).
With a single casting, you may mirror move a number of feats equal to your Intelligence bonus, but always at least one. That is, a caster with an Intelligence of 10 can mirror one feat, while a caster with 18 Intelligence can mirror up to four feats with a single use of the spell. The effects of multiple castings of mirror move do not stack. Each new casting wipes out the previous one.
You can mirror move the following feats:You can mirror move the following feats:

Weapon FocusThe DM may allow mirroring of feats from sources other than the Player’s Handbook, as long as they are feats with observable physical effects.
Spellcasters who do not meet the prerequisite(s) for the feat they wish to mirror can sometimes find clever ways around this limitation. For example, Mialee has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat but a Dexterity of only 11. She casts cat’s grace on herself, receiving 2 additional Dexterity points for a 13 Dexterity. She then casts mirror move, adopting Ember’s Deflect Arrows feat. When mirror move dissipates, Mialee retains her heightened Dexterity until her cat’s grace spell ends but she loses access to Deflect Arrows. If she somehow lost the effects of cat’s grace before the end of mirror move’s duration, she would lose access to the Deflect Arrows feat.
One interesting note about mirror move is that the spell conveys all the nuances of the mirrored character’s style. Using the previous example, Mialee not only gains the ability to Deflect Arrows but the arcane power results in her deflecting arrows exactly as Ember would do it. Although Ember may not be with Mialee when she cast the mirror move spell, anyone familiar with Ember’s style (for instance, a lifelong enemy or former trainer) may recognize that Mialee’s arrow deflection is actually borrowed from Ember. Anyone familiar with Ember’s defensive style should be allowed a Spot check (DC 15) to recognize the similarities.It’s worth noting that Item Creation Feats and Special Feats can not be duplicated by mirror move. Likewise, Metamagic Feats are too subtle and/or complex to be mirrored.
Material Component: Any reflective surface, including highly polished shields or armor and even surfaces of water, can be used for this spell. Many spellcasters carry small mirrors with them for material components.
