I created these my self and keep in mind I have a warped sense of humor

Weird Trans-dimensional Fun (WTF) [Conjuration/Alteration] (Teleporting)
Level: Mage 3; Components: V; Casting Time: Attack action; Range: personal Area: 30-ft.-radius burst; Duration: 1 round/level ;Saving Throw: Will negates ; Spell Resistance: Yes.
This causes the very walls of reality to break down and other realities will impose upon this one depending upon those in the area of effect. Everyone with in the area must make a will save each round or have there reality altered by other around them. The cast cast this spell and makes a will save if he makes it his will is imposed from his point of reality. Everyone else has to make this save as well to be subjected to his reality. Other wise from there point of reality the caster is just gone, he has shifted to an alternate reality. This only connects the area to the multiple realities and this is a two way bridge so things from here can cross over from there.
Most often this is used to by pass something or some one and making the object or person not there. The effect is stationary once cast centered on the caster, once the caster leaves the area of effect the reality ends and the dimensions are restored. There is a 20% chance that the reality you chose for what ever reason is not hospitable to you due to environmental or or hostile creatures, in this case you can shift the dimension to another Concentration DC20 other wise you are stuck with this one.

The caster conjures up a Pissed off Chimpanzee just like in the commercials, he will defend the target with what ever weapon he is summoned with (Roll below). This is only triggered if the target is attacked and then the monkey appearers and reciprocates with an ass whuppin. The person has no control over this creature and it will continue to defend the target and attack all who attacked him. It will always arrive via a door out of a trunk or from behind an object and surprises the target is flat footed.

On a successful hit, the darts deal 1d6 points of electricity damage and the target must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 15) or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds. Reloading a taser is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
** If with in the first 10' weapon gets knock down.

Note: The spell caster who made this spell was not right in the head and was obsessed with monkeys use at own risk.

Vortex [Evocation]

A vortex is a swirling mass of magical energy, barely controllable by the caster. After casting the spell, a 7 foot tall, multicolored sphere appears. From this moment on, the caster must maintain concentration DC 20 +1 per round active in order for the vortex to remain.
Each round, the caster can move the vortex 60 feet. However, control of direction is not perfect. If the caster fails to concentrate just for a moment, the Vortex moves on on its own.
The vortex is composed of raw magical energy. Once per round, all creatures close to the vortex suffer one of the fallowing effects.

The caster is held immobile for the whole duration of the spell; he can't cancel it, even when he completely lost control over the vortex.


What Time is it? [Enchantment] [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Arcane 1; Components: V, S, M; Casting Time: Attack action; Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels); Target: One creature; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throw: Will negates; Spell Resistance: Yes.
This spell causes the target to be so distracted that he draws attacks of opportunity from all those around him. If no one can attack this person then the target just loses a full action this round and can only do a partial action, while he checks his watch to see what time it is. This will only work if the target understands that the caster is talking about. The semantic component is the act of looking at your own wrist.
Material Component: a broken watch.


Trap The Soul [Transmutation]
Level: Acolyte 1, Mage 1; Components: S, M; Casting Time: Attack action; Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level); Target: One creature; Duration:1round/level; Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell causes the targets foot wear to become bonded to that of the surface he is on, he can still fight but can not move his feet so suffers a -5 to reflex saves and can not run or other wise move his feet. This can not be cast on a target who does not have both feet on the ground the spell will fail. If cast on a person or a creature not wearing foot wear (horse shoes do count) the target gets a +5 to the save. Also if the person wearing foot wear removes or unties it to slip out there feet they draw an attack of opportunity from all around, but he can then move freely.
Semantic Component is chewing the gum and sticking it to the bottom of the shoe.
Material Component: A shoe and a piece of chewing gum


These are other spells I found and altered

Corporeal Instability [Alteration]
Level: Arcane 4; Components: S, M; Casting Time: Attack action; Range: Touch; Target: One person or creature touched; Duration: 1 round/level; Saving Throw: Fort negates; Spell Resistance: Yes
Corporeal Instability temporarily distorts the various bonds that hold the victim's body together. When the spell is cast on a creature, it has to save or be liquefied. When failing the saving throw, the victim takes 1d20 points of damage as his body destabilizes into an amorphous, ever-shifting mass. The victim is unable to take any action but move at 5' per round. This effect lasts for 1 round per level of the caster, the creature is also immune to anything save magical damage from area effect spells of which he only suffers Half damage.

What Time Is It feels kinda strong. But I'm in a party that has a lot of melee, and summons a lot of creatures, so it would probably just be must-use for me.
I feel like the target should gets +1 to save per adjacent enemy.

It might sound like it is powerful but its all situational so would only come in to play in that case. And as stated only works one if target hears and understands the person and is effected by this type of magic and is a low level spell so DC not very high given average stats for players. Now if they have high stats and are in melee a lot then this does play in to there hand, key is to keep it balanced and don't make every fight about melee. Also some creature are not effected by spell effects like this undead for one and some targets just might not under stand the players language or what he is saying. Key thing to remember the game is ran by you the GM not the players let them have fun and make it fun but don't just let them walk though things my game almost everyone is ranged so this will not get used much if in yours there all melee change it up from time to time and hit them in the weak spot. This will show them were improvements are needed and that not every thing can be handled at the point of a sword. I like working with a master mind that uses others The game has been on going for a while about 6 months and they have just now have found out that a old one Cthulhu is coming and his agents are calling him they have to stop the ritual. but what they don't know the master mind has been using them by causing them to react and not think about what there doing. right now they have it in there heads that they need to get a book the first bible. But in reality if they just left it there he could not touch it as only an immortal can take it. And thanks to the one player who was sent to get an old key, who I thought would be the one to be imbued with the immortal essence, but turned out to be another. point was he was sent for the key so it could be broken and be infused so that when the group heard about the temple of the first bible they would run and the one person with the power only one would take the book off the pedestal thus full filling the prophecy. Which they will find after words on the wall written by the Tibetan monks. This all leads up to wait I am getting side tracked ok a sniper with a 50 caliber rifle can shoot and hit a person with no trouble is that too powerful no its situational if not in the area it would not happen and can not be done all the time. As your the GM go ahead and give a +1 in the case you stated I have not had this come up too much so I will have to see what happens.
