[QUOTE="Destil, post: 578156, member: 1980"] Ball lightning should either be Evocation or Conjuration [creation] if it creates a creature. Unless you have these in some odd place in your game, like the para-elemental plane of lightning (or is lightning quasi?) Also you should get SP against the initial 10d6 damage in either case, because this is a [b]direct[/b] component of the spell. If it does indeed summon / create a creature then not allowing SR on the secondary attack makes sense. Balance looks OK, hard to compare to [i]chain lightning[/i] since chain scales and this is fixed (possibly even too good for a 15th level caster, really). Crown of Fire should most likely be transmutation, or possibly evocation. In third edition the school of enchantment is entirely restricted to mental magic, not the "making magical items" as in earlier editions. What level sorcerer / wizard would you peg kindling as? 2 looks ok for a sorcerer or wizard. I'm not really familiar with the red magi class, but it should work for a 2nd level sorcerer / wizard spell. No mercy, no quarter is interesting. It's really an odd spell, though I suppose it would work best on single powerful opponents.... though if they have power attack it could get very messy.... Very hard to comment on, because it has such a serious drawback. Given how powerful it is the 8th level [b]should[/b] work. But even with play testing this one I think will be hard to set a level for. Transmute rock to lava is very cool. You should most likely also list how very large creatures deal with the spell, though, those too large to be submersed. (greater than a 20'x20' face). [/QUOTE]
