[QUOTE="Al, post: 1202174, member: 2486"] Foul Desire has a major loophole...cast Foul Desire to get a Heal. Cast Heal upon self, curing all ability damage *and* all the useful benefits of Heal. Alternately, use Foul Desire repeatedly to get a bunch of high-level smackdown spells, and then simply cast a spell such as Heal to restore all ability damage. For example, I am a 20th level cleric with 18 Con (not unreasonable). I can probably cast this spell five or six times safely (can't be bothered to crunch the numbers since the Fort save drops after each casting) then simply cast Heal. Net result: 6 3rd level spells + 1 6th level spell = 6 9th level spells. Another loophole is for undead casters. It's a nice idea, but needs to be totally reworked. Even Limited Wish can only allows spells up to 6th level, and has an XP hit (worse than Con damage); Wish can only go up to 8th level, and has a serious XP hit. For a spell that can grant 9th level spells as a *3rd level spell* with only a measly few points of Con damage, I'm afraid it is broken. [/QUOTE]
