Slowly it rises from your hand, emitting a soft beam that illuminates thechosen area. Then it disappears, and you place the spell within the magic trap.You create a lingering zone of transformative magic that absorbs magic energyfrom magic items or spellcasting and uses it to power another spell tied tothat location. For example, you could have an energy transformation field tiedto a summon monster V spell that would summon a monster when the field hadabsorbed enough magic.  The field absorbs the magic of spells cast, spell-like or supernatural abilities that are activated, and magic items used within its dimensions. Each source of magic provides spell levels of energy to the field equal to the spell level of theeffect used. Supernatural abilities that emulate spells provide energy equalto the spell level of the effect. Supernatural abilities that do not emulatespells provide energy equal to the HD of the creature using the ability. Forexample, a cast fireball spell or a charge from a wand of fireball would add threespell levels to the field’s store, a potion of cure light wounds would add one, anda wish from a ring of three wishes would add nine. Items that don’t have a clearlydefined spell level (such as the effects of most rods) use the prerequisite casterlevel needed to create that item (so an immovable rod would provide twospell levels every time it was activated because of its levitate prerequisite).Effects that are absorbed give no indication of where the magic went; theysimply vanish.  The field absorbs only magic that is actually used within its area. Ongoingmagical effects that enter the area, including spells cast from outsidethe area into the field or continually functioning items such as a +1 mace,are often visibly reduced, but do not have their actual effects hindered. Forexample, a continual flame would dim slightly, but its overall magic wouldnot be affected.  An energy transformation field has a single spell linked to it. When thefield has absorbed spell levels equal to the spell level of its linked spell, itautomatically casts that spell at a point within the field designated by you atthe time of the casting of the field. This expends those absorbed spell levels(although unused levels remain until they are used or expire). The cast spellfunctions as if cast by you in terms of duration and all level-based spelleffects. Absorbed spell levels fade at a rate of one per day if not used. The field automatically triggers its linked spell if it has enough stored spell levels and the durationof its previous casting has expired. If a linked spell requires concentrationto maintain, the field expends one spell level for every hour of concentration(the field’s concentration is interrupted only by its complete destruction).Spells that require a target will target the living creature nearest to thefield.  Typical spells linked to an energy transformation field are blindness/deafness,fireball, suggestion, summon monster, or wall of force. Spells that have a costlymaterial component or an XP cost cannot be linked to a field, but thosewith a costly focus can if the focus object is present within the field (typicallysealed into a wall or in a secret compartment).  Only Mordenkainen’s disjunction, limited wish, wish, or similar spells can destroy the energy transformation field.Spells of lower level, such as dispel magic and greater dispel magic, are absorbed byit, and an antimagic field prevents it from absorbing magical energy within thefield but does not otherwise hamper this spell. If two or more field spellsshare an overlapping area, each field has an equal chance of absorbing a spelleffect in that area. Material Component: Three drops of your blood, an eye from any humanoid, and 5,000 gp worth of powdered diamond.XP Cost: 250 XP.</blockquote>
