Duration: 1 hour/ level or see text
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The caster gives the subject creature low-light vision, (In the case of the Elf or Gnome classes the target is the caster. The Elf or Gnome caster activates the spell by placing his hand to his forehead to screen out other light sources.) the ability to see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. The subject retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Arcane Material Component: A small candle.
All Power Attack, All the Time
Enchantment (Compulsion)[Mind-Affecting]
Level: Brb 0
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: part of attack action
Range: Reach
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: AC negates
Spell Resistance: No
Not all casters are capable of this spell. The feat Power Attack is a required Focus Component. The caster is exceptionally powerful with melee attacks. On the action, before making attack rolls for a round, the caster may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed the caster’s BAB. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until the caster’s next action.
