Elements of Magic - Spell Creation and Critique

I am creating this thread for people to post their spell ideas, so that others can see them, use them, or correct any possible mistakes. Eventually I would love to have a large collection of premade spells, to help gamers see the system in action and to make it so that those who don't want to create all their own spells can just borrow some from here.

Any spells posted on this thread may some day be used in an Elements of Magic compilation. If you would prefer not to have your spells used in such a way, please just mention that in your post.

Thanks.

Is there any way we can merge the thread I already started on this? There are only a few so perhaps we could repost.

A few spells from old (but good) fantasy novels...

Hi! First of all, congratulations on a job well done to RangerWickett for a great book. Much improved from the original. And congrats on the graduation. Good luck on the job hunt situation. AND get to work on that Lycean Arcana. My credit card and me are getting restless…

Anyways, here are a few spells based on some of my favorite fantasy books. Please review them and double check my math. Comments and criticism are welcomed.



Werelight
Create light 1/ Move Force 1/ Gen 1
Total MP: 3
Range: 30 feet
Area of effect: point in space (20’ radius light)
Target: A point in space
Duration: Concentration

This spell creates a globe of colored light, which moves as the caster wishes within the 30’ range, at a base speed of 30 feet.

Costs: 0MP create light effect, 0MP duration effect, 1MP Move Force (spell) effect


Variations: 1) Range increase to 150 ft, add +1MP
2) Duration increase to 10 minutes, add +1MP


Based on the spell of the same name in Ursula K. LeGuin’s A Wizard of Earthsea.


Transform Blade of Grass into Staff
Transform Nature 0
Total MP: 0
Range: Touch
Target: A blade of grass or other piece of vegetable matter.
Duration: 1 minute (D)

With this spell, the mage transforms an ordinary piece of grass into a normal quarterstaff.

Costs: 0MP transform nature spell


Help here would be useful. I am uncertain if the De-animate (2 MP) enhancement is necessary. That would make the spell a Transform Nature 2 spell, with a total MP cost of 2.

Based on a spell in Ursula K. LeGuin’s A Wizard of Earthsea.


Lord’s Fire
Create Fire 1
Total MP: 1
Range: Touch
Target: A staff
Duration: 1 minute (D)

Conjures blue flames around the mage’s staff, which do not harm the wielder, but add +1d6 fire damage to attacks.

Costs: 1MP elemental weapon effect

Based on spell in Stephen R. Donaldson’s Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever




Banefire
Create Fire 1 / Infuse Force 2
Total MP: 3
Range: Touch
Target: A staff
Duration: 1 minute (D)

Conjures red flames around the mage’s staff, which do not harm the wielder, but add +1d6 fire damage to attacks. Additionally, the staff is reinforced and strenghthened, adding +2 to to hit and damage with each attack.

Costs: 1MP elemental weapon effect, 2 MP enhance attack effect


Variations:
1) increase fire damage by 1d6 for each additional MP spent on Create fire.
2) increase to hit and damage bonus by +1 for each MP spent on Infuse Force.


I came up with this variant of the Lord’s Fire spell, which I think is much more useful.


The Wrath of Fenris
Transform Life 2
Total MP: 2
Range: Touch
Target: Self
Duration: 1 minute (D)

The mage assumes the shape of a wolf (CR 1), usually as a last resort, to engage in melee combat.

Costs: 2MP Strong Creature enhancement


Variations:
1) Add +2 MP, assumes the shape of a worg (CR 2). Total MP cost: 4
2) Add +4 MP, assumes the shape of a dire wolf (CR 3). Total MP cost: 6


This one is mine. Just something I've always wanted my wizard to do, but as a 1st or 2nd level spell. 4th level always seemed too high to me for polymorph. And people always wind up shape changing into four armed ogrillons and such, just for the number crunched attacks...

Shouldn't The Wrath of Fenris be a Transform Animal rather than Transform Life. Transform life is used for animation of inanimate objects.

Other than that, these are some interresting spells.

OOOps! That's right. Wrath of Fenris should be Transform Animal 2.

Thanks.

How about transform blade of grass to staff? Does it need the Deanimate enhancement? Is a blade of grass plucked from the ground considered alive, or is it dead, having been torn from its root? This makes a difference from a 0 MP spell to a 2MP spell.

I would say the grass is dead. This would be an interesting point to clear, as one may want to transform, say a dead orc's corpse into an inanimate object, for example, to hide the body... or does that require Deanimate as well?

I think it is pretty much a DM call but I would say that a plucked blade of grass is dead so it would be usable. I would also say that there would be a number of dead blades of grass on the average lawn that could used without plucking. For balance reason I think it matters little.

Hot foot!
Evoke Lava 5/ Move Death 6/ Gen 2
Total mp: 13
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 10 minutes

By melting the ground with a combination of gravitational and thermal manipulation, this spell anchors the target to the ground, which is itself, baked. The target cannot be moved from this spot at all, and everyone in 5 ft. of the target (including the target itself) take 2d6 damage per round. 1 Mp duration, 5 mp Major side effect, 1 mp range.

New Spells

These are some spells I whipped up for a 6th level mage I'm playing. They are inspired from the Dr. Strange comic book series.

I'm not sure if I did the Hook of Hoggoth correctly. I was trying to simulate the spell in the comic, while combining the game effects of Spiritual Weapon. Any suggestions on that spell or any of the others for that matter?

Hook of Hoggoth
Evoke Force 4/Create Force 1/Gen 1
Total MP: 6
Range: Close
Area: one scythe
Duration: Concentration (up to 1 minute)
Save: none
Spell Resistance: yes
Description: This spell summons a large mystical scythe made of pure force that the caster can wield as a weapon attacking opponents at a distance as directed dealing 2d6 force damage per hit (x4 on a critical). It strikes the opponent you designate, starting with one attack in the round the spell is cast and continuing each round thereafter on your turn. It uses your base attack bonus plus your Intelligence modifier as its attack bonus. It strikes as a spell, not as a weapon, so, for example, it can damage creatures that have damage reduction. As a force effect, it can strike incorporeal creatures without the normal miss chance associated with incorporeality. The weapon always strikes from your direction. It does not get a flanking bonus or help a combatant get one. Your feats or combat actions do not affect the weapon. If the weapon goes beyond the spell range, if it goes out of your sight, or if you are not directing it, the weapon returns to you and hovers.
Each round after the first, you can use a move action to redirect the hook to a new target. If you do not, the weapon continues to attack the previous round’s target.
The hook cannot be attacked or harmed by physical attacks, but dispel magic, disintegrate, a sphere of annihilation, or a rod of cancellation affects it. It’s AC against touch attacks is 12 (10 + size bonus for Tiny object).
If an attacked creature has spell resistance, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against that spell resistance the first time the weapon strikes it. If the weapon is successfully resisted, the spell is dispelled. If not, the weapon has its normal full effect on that creature for the duration of the spell. Costs: 4 MP enduring damage, 1 MP elemental weapon, 1 MP range.

Hand of Hoggoth
Move Force 4/Gen 2
Total MP: 6
Range: Medium
Area: one hand of force
Duration: Concentration
Save: special
Spell Resistance: yes
The caster’s hand bursts into non-damaging flames which harden into a large gauntlet of force. The caster can manipulate objects with the hand as well as use the following combat maneuvers with the hand: trip, disarm, grapple, and bull rush. Its attack bonus to make contact equals your caster level + your Intelligence + 12 for the hand’s Strength score (35) + 0 for being Medium sized. The hand holds but does not harm creatures it grapples. The bonus for bull rushing an opponent is +14 (+12 for Strength 35, +2 bonus for charging). The hand can affect creatures of up to size Huge and objects weighing up to 50,000 lbs. Creatures (who are grappled) and objects can be picked up and moved at a speed of 30’ per round. As an object of force the hand can affect incorporeal creatures just as easily as corporeal ones. The hand has as many hit points as you do when you’re undamaged, and its AC is 20 (+10 natural). It takes damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that don’t cause damage do not affect it. The hand never provokes attacks of opportunity from opponents. The hand makes saving throws as its caster. Costs: 4 MP effective strength, 2 MP range.

Additional Spells for review and comment.

Here are some spell I use in my campaign, The mage in question just turned 5th level So all of the spells are 5 MP or below.

BITTER AIR
Evoke Acid 3/Gen 2
DC: 12
Total MP: 5 + 1 cantrip
Range: Short (30 ft.)

Saving Throw: Reflex half
Corrosive acid fills the area of effect, dealing 3d6 points of acid damage per round. Costs: 3 MP acid damage and extra duration, 1 MP + 1 cantrip circular area, 1 MP range.

NOTE: We use a house rule that allows a cantrip to be used to extend the area of a circle by 5 foot. At least one 1 MP must be use to to create a circular area and only 1 cantrip can be added per spell. Without this rule the above spell looks like this:

BITTER AIR
Evoke Acid 3/Gen 2
DC: 12

Duration: Two rounds
Area: 10-ft. radius circle
Saving Throw: Reflex half

Note: The creature gets a plus for every HD above the HD threshold.

Comment: this isn't as strong as the Turncoat spell in the handbook, The target only has to attack the nearest creature. If they are fighting an ally of the mage then it won't do much good.
