Message: <blockquote data-quote="DogBackward" data-source="post: 3495873" data-attributes="member: 50642">I'm working out a sorceror based almost exclusively on manipulating raw magical energy. I've even gone so far as to take Nystul's Magical Aura as one of my precious few spells. The character is generally based on detecting, dispelling and manipulating magic.However, I've run out of thematic spells to take, and decided to whip up a few of my own. Also, I got inspired and made a feat to go along with them. I'd just like to ask what you guys think of them and all that. They seem pretty well-balanced to me, but then I tend not to worry about tiny details, or think about possible twinky combinations.Also, it's for a Forgotten Realms game, which I'm not familiar with. I'm sure FR has a ton of magic-manipulating spells, so if you guys wanna suggest some good spells for my remaining 5th, 2nd and 1st spells known, that would work, too. At least a minor explanation of the spell would help, if you don't mind.But that's secondary, as I plan on introducing these new things in my own games, so still need to see what everybody thinks. Anyway, I'm gonna stop rambling now and just show you the stuff...[sblock=Crown of Suppresion (Spell)]TransmutationLevel: Cleric 6, Sorceror/Wizard 5Components: V, S, FCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: 1 hour per level (D) or until dischargedSaving Throw: Will negates (harmless)Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)A solid black crown of cold iron appears upon the recipient's head. The only ornamentation is a single small ruby inset in the front of the crown. The ruby flashes with soft red light whenever magic is used nearby.   This spell creates a crown of magical energy that grants the recipient a +2 bonus on spellcraft checks made to identify spells. In addition, the ruby on the crown dimly whenever a spell is cast or a spell-like ability is used within 30ft. The light is not sufficient to provide illumination, and gives no other indication of what kind of spell was cast, or where.   As an immediate action, the creature wearing the crown may discharge its energy to gain a +8 bonus on a single dispel check used to dispel magic or a caster level check made to counterspell. This bonus applies to all forms of dispelling magic.   The crown occupies space on the body as a headband, hat or helm. If the crown is removed, the spell immediately ends.Focus: A cold iron hoop 6 inches in diameter.[/sblock][sblock=Suppress Magic (Spell)]AbjurationLevel: Bard 2, Cleric 2, Drd 3, Sorceror/Wizard 2Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: Close (25ft + 5ft/2 levels)Target: One spellcaster, creature or objectDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoAs a targetted Dispel Magic, except that any spells or effects that would be dispelled are instead suppressed for 1d4+1 rounds. The time suppressed still counts against the duration of the effect.[/sblock][sblock=Manipulate Magic (?) (Feat)]This feat could use a better name, if anybody's got any ideas. Thanks.Prerequisites: Spellcraft 12 ranks, Knowledge (Arcana) 6 ranks, able to cast Dispel Magic and Detect MagicBenefits: You gain a +2 bonus to all spellcraft checks made to identify a spell being cast. You also gain a +2 bonus on all dispel checks and caster level checks to counterspell. You gain additional benefits when you use a Detect Magic, Arcane Sight or Greater Arcane Sight spells:   When using one of the above spells, you may take a standard action and make a spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level) to determine whether all magic auras originate from a magic item or an actual spell that has been cast. You may take a standard action and make a spellcraft check (DC 25 + spell level) to concentrate on a single aura and determine the exact spell that produces the aura, as long as you have already identified the school of the spell in question.   Finally, your caster level for the Detect Magic, Arcane Sight or Greater Arcane Sight spells is increased by +1.[/sblock]</blockquote>
