[QUOTE="HarrisonF, post: 7662531, member: 58230"] From reviewing the low-level spells, I don't see anything that is obviously broken. Caustic Spittle is the closest one, but I suspect it will end up killing a bunch of wizards as well. Some of the high level spells are really crazy, but again, high level spells are pretty crazy anyways so I'm OK with that. Most of these would end up being plot level, campaign defining spells. For example, Creation's Fury allows a druid to destroy entire mountains or lakes, but then prevents other spells from being cast for 30 days. Quicken Assassin allows you to replace someone with an exact duplicate you control. Examples given in the spell include replacing a ruler with a duplicate you control. The only concern I have with power level is how it relates to Concentration. There are some buff-type spells that do not require concentration. Examples include a few of the Heraldric shield spells and a few of the luck spells (Bead of Luck, Iron Core). Most of them are relatively low powered compared to the required spell level, but the fact they don't require concentration is big. I think Iron Core is the most concerning to me since it basically gives advantage on saving throws for 5 times in a day. [/QUOTE]
