- Immediately upon completion of the casting of this spell and as often as once per round thereafter, you can cause the ground to shake along a 30-foot line. You can produce a number of these tremors equal to your caster level (maximum five).
- The tremors begin at your location and extend in the direction you indicate; any creature caught standing within the area must make a Reflex save or fall prone. A spellcaster caught standing on one of these squares must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spell that was being attempted.
- You need not produce a tremor immediately upon finishing the casting of this spell. You can perform other actions, even the casting of other spells, between producing new tremors. Calling up a new tremor in any round after the spell has been cast requires a standard action (as you refocus your concentration on the spell).

- The attack does not get a flanking bonus or help a combatant get one. The subject uses its highest melee attack bonus, and deals damage normally if it hits.

- Level: Cleric 3

- Duration: Instantaneous
- Saving Throw: None

- A spiritual charger deals 2d8 points of force damage, +1 point per three caster levels (up to a maximum of 2d8+5 at 15th level). A spiritual charger threatens a critical hit on a natural 20 and deals triple damage on a successful critical hit.
- INVOKE THE CERULEAN SIGN
- Evocation
- Level: Bard 3, cleric 3, druid 2, paladin 3, ranger 2, sorcerer/wizard 3
- Components: S
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: 30 ft.
- Area: Multiple aberrations whose combined total Hit Dice do not exceed twice caster level in a spread emanating from the character to the extreme of the range
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
- Spell Resistance: No
- The cerulean sign is an ancient symbol said to embody the purity of the natural world, and as such it is anathema to aberrations.
- While druids and rangers are the classes most often known to cast this ancient spell, its magic is nearly universal and can be mastered by all spellcasting classes.
- When you cast this spell, you trace the cerulean sign in the air with a hand, leaving a glowing blue rune in the air for a brief moment before it fl ashes and fills the area of effect with a pulse of cerulean light. Any aberration within the area must make a Fortitude saving throw or suffer the following ill effects. Closer aberrations are affected first.
- Aberration Hit Dice Effect
- Up to caster level +10 None
- Up to caster level +5 Sickened
- Up to caster level Nauseated
- Up to caster level –5 Dazed
- Up to caster level –10 Stunned
- Each effect lasts for 1 round.
- None: The aberration suffers no ill effect, even if it fails the saving throw.
- Sickened: The aberration takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for 1 round.
- Nauseated: The aberration cannot attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything but take a single move action for 1 round.
- Dazed: The aberration can take no actions, but has no penalty to its Armor Class, for 1 round.
- Stunned: The aberration drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) for 1 round.
- Once a creature recovers from an effect, it moves up one level on the table. Thus, a creature that is stunned by this spell is dazed the round after that, nauseated the round after that, sickened the round after that, and then recovers fully the next round.
- Slashing Darkness
- Evocation
- Level: Clr 3
- Components: V, S

- Level: Brd 2, Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Personal
- Target: You
- Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
- After you cast this spell, the next spell you cast within the duration that requires concentration to maintain is maintained for you until the sonorous hum spell expires. This effect allows you to cast other spells, even another spell that also requires concentration.
- If the spell maintained by the sonorous hum has a shorter duration than that of this spell, the maintained spell expires as it normally would and you gain no further benefits from this casting of sonorous hum.
- The sound created by the spell is as loud as a person in armor walking at a slow pace trying not to make noise (normally a DC 5 Listen check to detect).
- You may end the sonorous hum as a free action.
- For example, you could cast this spell, then cast detect thoughts, and this spell maintains the concentration on detect thoughts while you cast discern lies and maintain concentration on that spell yourself. You control all aspects of both spells, so you could change the orientation of the detect thoughts effect and select a different target for your discern lies spell in the same round.
- SOUND LANCE
- Evocation [Sonic]
- Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3
- Components: V, S

- A sound lance cannot penetrate the area of a silence spell.
- Stars of Arvandor
- Evocation [Force, Good]
- Level: Cleric 4, druid 4, ranger 4, sorcerer/wizard 3

- Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
- Targets: Up to one creature or object
- per round
- Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
- Saving Throw: None
- Spell Resistance: Yes
- You create one tiny, twinkling star per level (maximum 10 stars). These minute starbursts orbit your head like ioun stones. As a free action, you can launch one star per round at a target your designate within range. Alternatively, as a standard action, you may launch up to three stars per round at one or more targets within range. Each star requires its own ranged touch attack roll.
- A nonevil target takes 1d8 points of damage, half of which is nonlethal (round down). Evil targets take 1d8 points of lethal damage instead. The stars are magical force, so they ignore incorporeality.
- Celestial Brilliance
- Evocation [Good, Light]
- Level: Cleric 4, Glory 4, sorcerer/wizard 4
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Touch
- Target: Object touched
- Duration: 1 day/level (D)
- Saving Throw: None
- Spell Resistance: No
- The object touched sheds light brighter than bright sunlight, channeled directly from the celestial realms. The light extends to a 120-foot radius: bright light to 60 feet and dim light in another 60 feet.
- Creatures with light sensitivity take twice the usual penalty when they are within 60 feet of the object. Undead creatures take 1d6 points of damage each round they are within the bright light. Evil outsiders, as well as undead creatures that are specifically harmed by sunlight, take 2d6 points of damage each round in the bright light.
- Celestial brilliance brought into an area of magical darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect. Celestial brilliance counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level, such as deeper darkness.
- CASTIGATE
- Evocation [Sonic]
- Level: Cleric 4
- Components: V
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: 10 ft.
- Area: 10-ft. radius emanation
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Saving Throw: Fortitude half
- Spell Resistance: Yes
- This spell allows you to verbally rebuke foes. By shouting your deity’s teachings about other alignments, you inflict pain on those who hear, and those in the area need not understand your divine words to be affected. This spell has no effect on creatures that cannot hear. Otherwise, you deafen foes of the same alignment for 1d4 rounds (save for half). Foes within one alignment step of your alignment (lawful, neutral, chaotic; good or evil) take 1 point of damage per caster level (maximum 10). Foes whose alignment is more than one step different from yours take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d4). A Fortitude saving throw is allowed for half damage from this spell.

- When you cast energy vortex, you choose one of five energy types: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. A blast of that energy type bursts in all directions from you, dealing 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20) to nearby creatures other than you. If you are willing to take the damage yourself, you deal twice as much damage. You don’t get a Reflex save, but spell resistance applies, as do any resistances and immunities you have to the energy type.
- Winter’s Embrace
- Evocation [Cold]
- Level: Cleric 4, druid 3, Winter 3
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
- Area: One creature
- Duration: 1 round/level
- Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
- Spell Resistance: Yes
- Winter’s embrace covers the victim with sheets of ice and lumps of snow. If the subject succeeds on its Fortitude save, the ice and snow instantly slough from its body, causing a mere 1d4 points of cold damage and ending the effect. If the subject fails its saving throw, the ice and snow cling tenaciously to its body and cause 1d8 points of cold damage each round. On the subject’s action each round, it can attempt a new Fortitude saving throw to avoid taking damage that round. If a creature takes damage twice from a single casting of winter’s embrace, it becomes fatigued. The fourth time a creaturetakes damage from the same spell, it becomes exhausted.

An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to effective Dexterity; the entangled target can move at half speed but can’t run or charge.

All sighted creatures in the area are dazzled (no save), and the heat from the blistering radiance deals 2d6 points of fire damage to all creatures and objects in the area each round on your turn (Fortitude save for half). Like fireball, blistering radiance erupts if it strikes any material body or solid barrier before attaining the prescribed range, and you must make a successful ranged touch attack to send the sphere through a narrow opening or passage.
- Blistering radiance counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level.
- Material Component: A bit of tinder and a small lens.

- If you choose a chromatic dragon, then dragon breath gains the evil descriptor. If you choose a metallic

- Evocation [Cold]
- Level: Bard 5, cleric 5, druid 4, sorcerer/wizard 5

- Duration: 1 round + 1 round/2 levels
- Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
- Spell Resistance: Yes
- You create a strong blast of arctic air that originates from your fingertips and moves in the direction you are facing. As a stronger form of gust of wind, this boreal wind automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar protected or unprotected flames, including lanterns. Large fires (such as bonfires, a blacksmith’s coals, or even a house fire) have a 50% chance to be extinguished by the boreal wind. Forest or grassland fires are too large to be extinguished by this spell.
- All creatures caught in the area take 1d4 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 15d4). A successful Fortitude saving throw negates the gust’s effects. Those that fail the save are pushed away from the caster a distance of 3 feet per caster level. Creatures that remain in the area past the first round must make an additional saving throw each round.
- A boreal wind can do anything a sudden blast of wind would be expected to do. It can create a stinging spray of sand or dust, overturn tents and blow down small huts, scuttle a small boat, and blow gases or vapors to the edge of the range.
- The wind can change direction if you actively direct it (a move action for you); otherwise, it merely blows in the same direction.

In addition to the possible effects of the wind, creatures within the area of a flaywind burst spell take 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) from the scouring sands. A successful Reflex save halves this damage.
- A creature within the area of flaywind burst must make a Fortitude save or experience the effects of the wind’s force. A Small or smaller creature is knocked down and rolled 1d4×10 feet, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet. If flying, a Small or smaller creature is blown back 2d6×10 feet and takes 2d6 points of nonlethal damage. Medium creatures are knocked prone, or if flying are blown back 1d6×10 feet. Large or Huge creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the blast, or if flying are blown back 1d ×5 feet. Gargantuan or larger creatures can move normally within a flaywind burst. Flaywind burst can’t move a creature beyond its range.
- In addition to the effects noted, flaywind burst can do anything else that a windstorm-force sandstorm would be expected to do, such as briefly obscure vision, heel over a boat, or blow gases and vapors to the limit of its area.

- This spell creates a binding agreement between a deity and the target that grants the target a measure of divine power to crush the deity’s enemies.
- Once this spell is cast, the pact remains dormant until the target successfully hits a foe whose alignment is exactly opposite that of the deity. The target’s subsequent melee attacks gain a +4 bonus, deal double damage, and automatically confirm critical hits for the spell’s duration. Furthermore, the target’s melee attacks have alignment descriptors that match the deity with whom you’ve made the pact.
- The target is compelled to attack foes of opposite alignment every round if able to do so. The target knows which creatures within 60 feet are of opposite alignment (as if the relevant detect spells had been cast).
- If you create a zealot pact with a completely neutral deity such as Obad-Hai, choose one alignment from the following list that triggers the zealot pact: lawful good, lawful evil, chaotic evil, or chaotic good.
- A creature can be subject to only one zealot pact at a time. Casting zealot pact on a target who already has an untriggered zealot pact voids the earlier pact.
- XP Cost: 500 XP.
- SPIRITUAL GUARDIAN
- Evocation [Force]
- Level: Cleric 6
- Components: V, S, DP
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: 5 ft.
- Effect: A phantasmal knight
- Duration: 1 minute/level or 1 round/level; see text
- Saving Throw: None
- Spell Resistance: No
- The sound of hoofbeats begins in the distance and draws swiftly nearer. As though leaping down from an invisible charger, a translucent knight, clad head to toe in heavy plate, appears by your side. The holy symbol of your deity is emblazoned across his tabard and shield.
- By casting this spell, you create a translucent knight made of force. It remains within 5 feet of you at all times, constantly matching your speed and mode of travel—even if you are mounted or magically accelerated. Any time you are attacked, it moves to parry the attack with its shield or longsword, granting you a +6 deflection bonus to Armor Class. As a standard action in any round, you can command the knight to make a single attack against any creature within 5 feet. It strikes with its longsword, using your base attack bonus and applying your Wisdom modifier to the roll. The attack deals ld8 points of force damage +1 extra point per three caster levels (maximum +10).
- At any point before the spell expires, you can turn the knight loose and order it to fight on its own. It then moves at a speed of 60 feet to attack any foe you designate. It continues to use your base attack bonus and your Wisdom modifier for its attack rolls, and it can make as many attacks per round as your base attack bonus allows. You need not concentrate on the knight as long as it is fighting a specific opponent, but commanding it to change foes requires a move action. If its opponent falls, the knight waits for your direction.
- Once you have turned the knight loose, you lose the deflection bonus to Armor Class that it provided, and you cannot regain it. Furthermore, the remaining duration of the spell converts from minutes per level to rounds per level on a one-to-one basis.
- WEIGHT OF SIN
- Evocation [Chaotic, Evil, Good, or Lawful]
- Level: Cleric 6
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. /level)
- Target: One creature
- Duration: Instantaneous, then 1 round/level or permanent; see text
- Saving Throw: Fortitude partial, then Will partial; see text
- Spell Resistance: Yes
- You use the raw power of your deity to reach into your target's soul and pull forth its sins, leaving their horror exposed for all to see.
- You affect the target differently based on how its alignment compares to your own.
- If the target's alignment is the same as yours, weight of sin has no effect.
- If the target's alignment differs from yours but contains no directly opposing components (for example, the target is neutral good and you are lawful neutral), the spell deals 1 point of damage per caster level (maximum 15) and has no secondary effect.
- If the target's alignment has one aspect opposed to yours (such as law/chaos), but not both, the spell deals ld4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d4), and the subject suffers a minor secondary effect (see the table).
- If the target's alignment is diametrically opposed to yours (such as lawful good/chaotic evil), the spell deals ld6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6), and the subject suffers a moderate secondary effect (see the table).
- If you cast this spell on the same target in 2 consecutive rounds, any secondary effect the spell has increases by one "step" in severity. That is, if the spell caused a minor effect on the first casting, it now causes a moderate effect, and if it caused a moderate effect, it now causes a major effect. Minor and moderate effects end in 1 round per caster level, but major effects are permanent until dispelled.
- In all cases, the subject is entitled to a Fortitude save for half damage, and then a Will save to negate the secondary effect, if any. The target is entitled to this Will save even if the spell duplicated by the secondary effect normally does not permit one.

- When you cast ice rift, an intense but highly localized tremor rips through the ice. The shock knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ice, and more. The effect lasts for 1 round, during which time creatures on the ice can’t move or attack. A spellcaster on the ice must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spell he or she tries to cast. The ice rift affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The specific effect of an ice rift spell depends on the nature of the terrain where it is cast.
- Ice or Snow Cave, Cavern, or Tunnel: The spell collapses the roof, dealing 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage to any creature caught under the cave-in (Reflex DC 15 half ) and burying that creature in snow. An ice rift cast on the roof of a very large ice or snow cavern could also endanger those outside the actual area but below the falling debris.
- Edge of a Glacier: Ice rift causes a glacier’s edge to crumble, creating a landslide that travels horizontally as far as it fell vertically. An ice rift cast at the top of a 100-foot glacier would sweep debris 100 feet outward from the base of the glacier. Any creature in the path takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half ) and is pinned beneath rubble (see below).
- Open Glacier: Each creature standing in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or fall down. Fissures open in the ice, and every creature on the ice has a 25% chance to fall into one (Reflex DC 20 to avoid a fissure). At the end of the spell, all fissures grind shut, killing any creatures still trapped within.
- Frozen Water: Fissures open in the ice, and every creature on the ice hasa 25% chance to fall into the freezing water (Reflex DC 20 to avoid a fissure).
- Characters who fall into a fissure are immediately subject to hypothermia and take 2d6 points of cold damage from the frigid water. At the end of the spell, all rents in the ice grind shut, sealing any creatures in the icy water beneath (for additional rules on characters in cold water, see Hypothermia, page 10).
- Arcane Material Component: A bit of earth and a pinch of snow.

- The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) to evil creatures (or 1d8 points of damage per caster level, maximum 20d8, to evil outsiders) and blinds them for 1d4 rounds.
