It is considered an enhancement bonusBlade Barrier: Blade barrier is now a standard action to cast and lasts 1 min/level; it can now ONLY be cast as a vertical wall (either a plane or a cylinderBurning Hands: Burning hands is now evocationCall Lightning: Call lightning storm is exactly like 3.5 call lightning, except damage dealt is 5d6 per bolt (or 5d10 outdoors in a storm), with maximum 15 boltsCalm Emotions: Calm Emotions now affect all in 20 ft. radius, not xd6 HDClairaudience/voyance: Clairaudience/Clairvoyance reduced to Long Range.Cloudkill: Cloudkill changed to 1d4 Con poison damage, from 1d10 poison damageCreate Undead: Create undead and create greater undead are now not only Clr spells, but also Sor/Wiz spells of the same level (i.e., 6 and 8, respectively).Darkness: Darkness and Deeper Darkness now shed supernatural shadow rather than the unpenetrable darkness of yore.Death Ward: Death Ward now blocks death effects, energy drains, and spells that use negative energy.; This includes Harm and Inflict Spells.Deathwatch: Deathwatch has the [evil] descriptor, so good clerics can no longer use it to keep an eye on their companions' status.Delayed Blast Fireball: Delayed Blast Fireball specifies its max damage is 20d6Destruction: Destruction has been clarified - it consumes the creature, but not the phat loots on its personDimension Door: Conjuration spell; Dimension door lets you take 1 additional medium sized creature per 3 caster levelsDisintegrate: Disintegrate is an insane spell. 2d6/level damageDivine Power: Divine Power is +6 enhancement bonus to strength and 1 temporary hitpoint per level, and fighter BABEndure Elements: Endure Elements (1st level) no longer gives resistance 5 to an element, it just protects you from natural temperature extremesEnlarge: Enlarge person now grants all of it's bonuses up front to a first level caster no more referencing a chart to find the % change it is now a flat +100% to height.Evard’s Black Tentacles: Evard's Black Tentacles now 1 round/level an incredible grapple check bonus and immune to damage from everything.Eyebite: Eyebite is now a necromancy spell, and an [evil] one at that, that has only one effect, to sicken the target.Feeblemind: Feeblemind now lets CHA drop to 1, too. Also, INT- and CHA-related skills can't be used anymore.Fire Seed/Flame Strike: Fire Seeds and Flame Strike are down to d6's.Flame Arrow: Flame Arrow now simply gives the flaming property to projectiles (+1d6), so no unlimited fiery bolts anymore... but the duration is up to 10 min / lvlFlame Strike: Fire Seeds and Flame Strike are down to d6's.Fly: Fly lasts 1 min/level and gives you a fly speed of 60 feet, or 40 feet if in medium or heavy armorForbiddance: The passworded version of forbiddance is a lot cheaper now, 1,000 extra gp vice 5,000 gpForcecage: Forcecage now requires the material component at the time of casting, not during preparation of the spell. So finally sorcerers can cast it, tooFreedom of Movement: Freedom of Movement now provides automatic freedom from grapplesGlitterdust: Glitterdust does what it did before (reveals creatures) and gives a -40 penalty to Hide checksGrease: Grease now forces you to make a DC 10 balance check to move within or through the greased area, and if you fail you can't stop, and if you fail by more than 5 you fall down. ; It also grants a +10 bonus on Escape Artist or Grapple checks to escape a grapple or being pinnedGreater Magic Fang: Greater magic fang can indeed be applied as a +1 bonus to all extremities with one casting. Furthermore, both GMF and MF can be made permanent with a permanency spellGust of Wind: Anyone read the new Gust of Wind? They changed it a lot. First they gave it a lot of power, like a strong wind in the environment section. Then, they made it last for a duration (don't remember how long) so the wizard can avoid missile attacks and reduce Listen checks for the time. Then they made all that completely useless because it is a line effect! All any creature has to do is step 5 feet and continue shooting arrows at you!Haste: Haste no longer gives an extra partial action (since partial actions dont exist anymore). Instead, you get an extra attack during a full-attack action. The AC bonus was reduced from +4 to +1, but you also get +1 to attacks and reflex saves. All modes of speed get an enhancement bonus of +30 ft.; Haste affects 1 creature/level instead of just 1 creatureHeal: Heal heals 10/level hit points, up to 150. Mass heal caps out at 250Holy Sword: Holy sword no longer doubles the damage dealt, instead it adds +2d6 holy damageHoly Word: Banishment via holy word now allows the target a Will save with a -4 penalty; Blasphemy, holy word, dictum, and whatever the chaotic one is now have different effects based on the targets' hit dice relative to your caster level instead of using flat HD numbers.Identify: Identify now takes one hour to cast, affects only one item, and reveals all powers, activation requirements, and charges. Still costs a 100gp pearl for arcane castersInvisibility: Invisibility is now 1 minute/level.Keen: Keen spell and weapon enhancement no longer stack with Improved CriticalMagic Stone: Magic stone now deals 1d6+1 damage per stone, or 2d6+2 verses undead. It is now a druid spell as wellMagic Vestment: Magic vestment is no longer +1 AC per 3 levels, instead it is +1/4Mass Cure: All mass cure spells are now close range and affect one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart. This is a step up from 3.0's healing circleMass Heal: Heal heals 10/level hit points, up to 150. Mass heal caps out at 250Maze: Maze requires the target to make an INT check (DC20) each round to escape, or wait until 10 minutes have passed. Plus, SR appliesMirror Image: Mirror image has been clarified: an attacker must be able to see the images to be fooled. If you are invisible or the attacker shuts their eyes, the spell has no effect. By extension then, if a creature closes its eyes and uses blindsight to find you, you're hosed. Also, it is made very clear that the images occupy a cluster of spaces within 5 feet of at least one other figment or youNeutralize Poison: Neutralize Poison now lingers for 10 minutes/levelNystal’s Magic Aura: Also note that undetectable aura is part of Nystul's magic auraOtto’s Irresistable Dance: Otto's irresistible dance actually tells you what it means to be "unable to do anything but caper and prance", namely: It gives a -4 penalty to AC, -10 penalty to reflex saves, negates the AC bonus from a shield, and you draw attacks of opportunity every round.Planar Ally: All versions of planar ally now cost lots of money to use, plus a little XP. For instance, to get a planar ally from the median spell to aid you in a single combat will cost 100 gp per HD of the creature called, plus 250 XPRaise Dead: In my (second printing, ie 'corrected') copy of the PHB, the description of Raise Dead states that the material component is a diamond worth 500gp. In the 3.5 PHB, this diamond component is described as costing 5000gp. I do not believe this to be a typo, on the grounds that the 5000gp component cost is also referred to in the 3.5 DMG.; In PHB 3.0, a first level character who's raised loses a point of Constitution in lieu of a level. In PHB 3.5, this becomes 2 points of Constitution. Again, reference to this increased Con loss is also made in DMG 3.5.Ray of Enfeeblement: it does not stack.; Ray of Enfeeblement doesn't grant a saving throw anymoreReincarnation: Reincarnation now only gives humanoid forms to choose from.Resurrection: Resurrection costs 10,000 gp and you still lose a levelRighteous Might: Righteous Might is +8 size bonus to strength and +4 size bonus to constitution and +4 enhancement to natural armor and 5 10 or 15/evil (or good if you channel negative energy) damage reduction at 9th, 12th, and 15th levels respectivelyShapechange: Shapechange now gives the caster the Su abilities of the form. You can now change into a dragon and breathe, then change into a Beholder and hit opponants with eye rays or Anti-MagicShield: Shield now provides a +4 shield bonus to AC, and you dont have to keep track of facing.Shocking Grasp: Shocking Grasp now does 1d6/level (max 5d6) instead of 1d8 +1/level (max +20).Shout: Shout now does 5d6 sonic damage, not 2d6Silence: Silence spell now a 20 ft. radiusSpiritual Hammer: Spiritual hammer has been buffed. It now does 1d8 force damage +1 point per 3 caster levels (max +5). Also, it now uses your BAB + Wis modifier to hit instead of just BABTasha’s Hideous Laughter: Tasha's Hideous Laughter now lasts 1 round/levelTelekinesis: Telekineses violent thrust is clarified, and there is an excellent option to use it 1r/level for "special combat manouvers" (grapple, disarm etc)Teleport: Conjuration spell; Teleport is only good for 100 miles/caster levelWall of Force: Wall of Force no longer has the hemisphere choiceWeb: Web entangles even if save made, you're just not stuckWish: The text now clearly states that a wish spell always costs at least 5000 XP to castcraftyrat</blockquote>
