The Tear will just have to get creative when working in complete darkness.“Shadow Well” and “Dark Way” are both from Magic of Faerun (FR).I changed “Shadow Mask” to a Tear1 spell because it didn’t seem useful enough to a Tear to fill a second-level slot.  However, I liked the save bonus it gave against “light” and “darkness” spells. Since this is the Mistress’s main sphere of influence, she was able to “lower the hurdle” for her Tears to gain access earlier than most other spell casters. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I did move Improved Familiar up to third-level and brought SA+1d6 back to second.  Waiting until fourth level to receive the first Sneak Attack bonus seemed a little long.The spell tables are a confection of several of the core tables.  I'm not  really sure which I used.  For as much as I've tweaked them, my guess is I used all the tables in one way or other. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Here’s how I fixed the whole spell casting and bonus spell issue:“… When determining a Tear’s effective caster level, add any of the character’s sorceress levels to her level as a Tear.  For example, a character with two levels of sorceress and one as a Tear would be considered a third-level spell caster.  However, the character’s Charisma based spell bonus is only granted once and may be allocated between the two classes in whatever manner the player desires.”    Thanks again.- Minaret</blockquote>
