| Custom Spirit Sorcerer Spells Alcohol Spirit Transmutation Level: Spirit Sorcerer 0 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 full round Range: Close (25 ft., +5 ft./2 levels) Target: 1 humanoid or monstrous humanoid of Medium-size or smaller Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes You point at one target creature in range and transmute miniscule amounts of their bloodstream into alcohol, immediately nauseating them for 3 rounds. A spirit of alcohol and intoxication manifests within the target, making them feel sick, unbalanced, and somewhat befuddled by alcohol. The subject receives a Fortitude save each round to resist the effect, and any successful Fortitude save against it ends the spell. Only humanoids and monstrous humanoids of Medium-size or smaller may be affected, and creatures immune to natural poisons are not affected (including druids who have acquired the Venom Immunity class feature). This is a magical poison effect for other purposes, however. A nauseated creature cannot attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, activate spell-like abilities, concentrate on spell-like abilities, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a creature can take is a single move action (or move-equivalent action) on their turn. Binding Spirit Abjuration (Force) Level: Spirit Sorcerer 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft., +5 ft./2 levels) Target: 1 creature of Large size or smaller Duration: 1 minute/level (D) Saving Throw: Reflex negates (see text) Spell Resistance: Yes Requesting the aid of a restraining spirit, you try to bind an opponent. Only creatures of Large size or smaller can be affected. The Binding Spirit attempts to wrap itself about the subject like a greyish-blue phantom chain, and the subject is allowed a Reflex save to avoid being held by it. If the subject succeeds on their first saving throw against the spell, it is negated and does not take effect. A creature held by the Binding Spirit cannot move, except to speak (with a bit of difficulty), breathe, move their eyes, and so on (no movement any more significant than these is possible while held by the spirit). They are otherwise considered paralyzed and immobilized, though mental actions are still useable. If the Reflex save fails, they are held by the Binding Spirit for the duration of the spell or until they free themselves, as follows. As a standard action on the subject's turn, they may attempt either a Strength check or an Escape Artist check against DC 20, and if successful they are temporarily freed from the Binding Spirit's hold. If the subject fails the initial saving throw but later succeeds on one of these Strength or Escape Artist checks, the Binding Spirit attempts each round to hold them again, at the start of the caster's turn. This means the subject must attempt a new Reflex save each round that they are free of the spirit, until they are held by it again or the spell's duration expires. These later Reflex saves gain an extra +1 bonus, however, for each previous Reflex save, Strength check, and/or Escape Artist check that succeeded against this individual casting. If the Binding Spirit is suppressed by antimagic effects or the like, the subject makes a new Reflex save in this manner once the spell is no longer suppressed, on the caster's turn, unless this spell's duration has expired. This spell is a force effect, so the chain-like Binding Spirit can be destroyed through any means that would destroy a force effect as with a Wall of Force or the like (so for instance, a Disintegrate spell will destroy it). However, the Binding Spirit can be dispelled like any other spell, unlike some other force effects. Fury Spirit Enchantment (Compulsion) (Mind-Affecting) Level: Spirit Sorcerer 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft., +5 ft./2 levels) Target: 1 living creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The spirit sorcerer sends out a spirit of fury to enrage one living creature in range, forcing the subject into a state of violent rage. The subject gains all the benefits of a 1st-level barbarian's rage and suffers all the drawbacks of such, with the exception of the rage's duration, as the rage lasts only as long as this spell. Once the rage ends, the subject suffers fatigue until the end of the encounter or, if there is no encounter during the rage, they instead suffer fatigue for 1 minute. Rage provides a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saving throws, while inducing a -2 penalty to Armor Class and preventing the subject from taking actions that require patience, concentration, or calm, though the subject is still mostly in control of their actions. Fatigue incurs a -2 penalty to Strength, a -2 penalty to Dexterity, and the inability to run or charge. Refer to the barbarian class description for further details. Hope Spirit Enchantment (Mind-Affecting) Level: Spirit Sorcerer 3 Components: V Casting Time: 1 action Range: 15 ft. Subjects: Caster and all allied creatures within range of the caster Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) A spirit of hope empowers you and your allies, infusing you all with strong feelings of hope and valor. The caster and all allies within a 15-foot radius of him or her at the time of casting enjoy a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, Will saving throws, and damage with weapons, natural weapons, unarmed strikes, and grapple checks. Affected subjects each also gain 1d4 temporary hit points at the time of casting, which are lost before other hit points when damaged. If any of these temporary hit points remain at the end of this spell's duration, they disappear when the spell ends. At the time of casting, any subjects affected by this spell receive a new saving throw against any fear effects upon them at the time. However, any subject who succeeds on their new save against such fear gains no other benefits from this casting of Hope Spirit. Any subjects may elect to forego the new save against fear, unless panicked. Pain Spirit Necromancy Level: Spirit Sorcerer 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft., +5 ft./2 levels) Target: 1 living creature Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes Calling forth a minor spirit of suffering, you cause sharp, lingering pain to afflict a single living creature within range. Each round the subject suffers 1 point of subdual damage, takes a -1 penalty on attack rolls, takes a -1 penalty on ability checks and skill checks, takes a -1 penalty on saving throws, cannot cast or concentrate on spells, and cannot activate or concentrate on spell-like abilities. The exception is that the subject can still cast or activate spells and spell-like abilities that have a casting or activation time of 1 free action. Also, the subject is allowed to attempt a Concentration check at the start of each of his or her turns, against a DC of 30, and if successful the subject may attempt to cast spells and activate spell-like abilities that turn but with an extra +10 to any Concentration check DCs. The subject is allowed a new saving throw each round after the first, at the start of the caster's turn. Shatter Spirit Transmutation Level: Spirit Sorcerer 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 action Range: Medium (100 ft., +10 ft./level) Target: 1 inanimate and unintelligent object Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes You invoke a destructive spirit to fracture an object and tear it apart explosively. The Shatter Spirit flies forth from the spirit sorcerer's gesturing hand, appearing somewhat like an undulating dust devil or whirlwind with shards spinning about it, and tries to strike the target object. In order to affect an object with this spell, the spirit sorcerer must succeed at a ranged touch attack against the object. The AC of an object is 10 + its size modifier; for instance, a shortsword has AC of 11, while a greatsword has AC of 9. However, objects that are in motion, such as those worn or carried by a creature (so long as that creature is not immobilized), receive that creature's Dexterity, dodge, deflection, haste, sacred, profane, luck, circumstance, and competence bonuses to AC, if any. Those in motion but not worn or carried by a creature instead get +2 AC against the Shatter Spirit ranged touch attack. Cover bonuses to AC apply, and as normal, if the cover AC causes the attack to miss, the cover is stricken instead, though Shatter Spirit has no effect if it strikes anything other than an object. If successful, this spell deals 1d4 damage per three caster levels to the target object, to a maximum of 6d4 damage at 18th-level. The Shatter Spirit ignores up to 1 point of hardness per caster level, to a maximum of ignoring 10 points of hardness, and is not subject to the normal halving or quartering of damage that an object would normally benefit from. Unattended, nonmagical objects are not allowed a saving throw, but magical objects or attended objects get a Will save to negate the effect. An attended object uses its attendant's save bonus if better than its own (however, it does not benefit from any other personal defensive abilities of, or effects on, the attendant, such as Spell Resistance, except those that specifically affect objects that creature has on their person). Any object that is destroyed by this spell explodes, shattering into tiny pieces and dealing 1 point of damage to creatures within 5 feet if the object was Small or Medium-sized, or instead 2 damage if the object was Large or Huge, or 3 damage instead if the object was Gargantuan or larger. This is considered splash piercing damage, and does not affect objects except those with hardness of 0. The Shatter Spirit is insufficiently powerful to cause any greater explosive detonation. The material component for this spell is a Diminutive-sized shard of steel, worth 2 copper pieces (such shards are not normally found in a spell component pouch). Spirit Integration Transmutation Level: Spirit Sorcerer 4 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Targets: Caster and 1 creature touched (see text) Duration: See text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No With this spell, the spirit sorcerer temporarily fuses their body with that of a spirit creature, using that creature's form but taking direct control over it. The caster must touch a spirit creature that they had summoned through a Summon Monster spell, and that is the creature they fuse with. Spirit Integration lasts until the end of the Summon Monster spell's duration, or until Spirit Integration is dispelled, whichever comes first. The summoned creature cannot resist this fusion. The resulting fused creature is of the same type and subtypes as the summoned creature, and has all the traits and capabilities of the summoned creature, except where noted otherwise in this spell description. While Spirit Integration is active, any spell-like or supernatural abilities the summoned creature possessed that were normally useable at-will (but not always active) become useable only 4 times per day, excluding any uses before the Spirit Integration and excluding any uses after Spirit Integration ends. The spirit sorcerer is in control of the fused creature, and so the fused creature has the spirit sorcerer's Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, but retains the summoned creature's Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores. The spirit sorcerer retains their class levels and such, and the spirit sorcerer's total hit dice is used as the fused creature's effective total hit dice or level. The fused creature has the summoned creature's hit points, but upon Spirit Integration the fused creature gains additional hit points to its current total equal to the spirit sorcerer's current hit points, and likewise adds the spirit sorcerer's maximum hit point total to the fused creature's maximum hit point total. However, the fused creature also immediately suffers any subdual damage that the spirit sorcerer had just before Spirit Integration was cast. While the fused creature retains the summoned creature's form, traits, and abilities, it also gains the spirit sorcerer's spellcasting ability, familiar, supernatural abilities, and spell-like abilities, except for any that necessarily require certain parts of the spirit sorcerer's own body. The fused creature does not gain any racial, natural, or extraordinary abilities or traits of the spirit sorcerer. The fused creature can cast spells using the spirit sorcerer's spell slots and spells known as normal, but cannot cast spells with somatic components unless it has humanlike hands, and cannot cast spells with verbal components unless it has the ability to speak like a humanoid. Thus, most animal spirit creatures are poor choices for Spirit Integration if the spirit sorcerer intends to try spellcasting while fused. While Spirit Integration is active, the fused creature does not possess any inherant capacity to see directly into the Ghostlands, unless the spirit sorcerer somehow possessed that ability from some magical effect, like a Wish spell. The fused creature retains the feats and skills of the summoned creature, but also gains the feats and skill ranks of the spirit sorcerer, though restricted or modified as normal by the fused creature's ability scores and traits. For instance, a fused creature who does not have a high enough Strength score could not use the Power Attack feat if the spirit sorcerer had it before, nor any feats that require Power Attack. Any skills or feats that depended on, or were modified by, the spirit sorcerer's natural, extraordinary, or physical traits would no longer be modified by such with the fused creature. If the summoned creature and the spirit sorcerer had ranks in any given skill, use whichever has the greater number of ranks in that skill. If the summoned creature and the spirit sorcerer had the same feat, the fused creature retains only the summoned creature's copy of that feat, unless the spirit sorcerer's copy was applied to a different skill, weapon, or ability as appropriate (if appropriate). The exception to this is that multiple copies of Toughness feats stack as normal, and Toughness feats modifiy the fused creature's hit points normally even if they were gained through the spirit sorcerer. Any equipment on the spirit sorcerer's person is fused with the creature when Spirit Integration is cast, and any such equipment that was magical ceases functioning during this spell's effect. The exception is that any equipment the spirit sorcerer had which the summoned creature could normally have worn (considering the size, shape, and weight of the equipment, for instance) becomes worn on the fused creature. Thus, if the spirit sorcerer wishes to cast any spells, wield weapons, or use other gear while fused, he or she must not hold or wear the equipment, material components, or focus components at the time of casting. At the time of Spirit Integration's casting, any spells or effects on the spirit sorcerer, including damage or ability drain for instance, are not carried over to the fused creature, and are effectively suppressed while the spirit sorcerer is fused; their durations continue normally, they simply have no effect while the spirit sorcerer is fused. Such effects resume normally after the spirit sorcerer is separated, unless their durations have expired. If the fused creature is slain, or if either Spirit Integration or Summon Monster is dispelled or suppressed, the Summon Monster spell ends and the spirit sorcerer is separated. After separation the spirit sorcerer suffers none of the fused creature's damage, afflictions, or other statuses, as the fused creature uses only the summoned creature's body. Even mental afflictions, statuses, and ability score damage or drain do not carry over to the spirit sorcerer. Any parts separated or removed from the fused creature remain normally as part of the summoned creature, but disappear as normal when the Summon Monster spell ends; the spirit sorcerer is not fused with any such separated parts. |
