[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1815608, member: 12153"] Spell Creation and Critique.. We've seen creation, now we see Critique. Because Subtle Charm is a Charm enhancement, and not a General Enhancement, the HD limit of this spell is 8, not 5. Otherwise, this is perfect. That'll teach ya to power down yer own spells. I'm not sure this spell can do what's being asked of it. The blindness looks alright, except that the dazzled effect lasts for a minute, not simply the rest of the duration (you're getting a free round, whoohoo.) The Create Metal is a problem, however. Because this spell combines two spell lists, it's not a "Simple Spell" and you forfeit any Free Cantrip effects. Any Spell Lists after the first force all spell lists involved to be 1 MP at the minimum. This, as described, is a 5 MP spell, minimum.
