The following is a imrpoved version of Reduce Person allowing all the benefits of a creature one size larger than normal.
Spell: Adjust Spatial Reality
Level: 4?
School: Transmutation
Range: Personal
Duration: 10 Mins/level
Casting time: 1 round
Target: Personal
Description:
When casting this spell the caster ties her body to the Ethereal Plane altering the spatial reality around her body. In doing so her body appears to be smaller in the plane that she casts this from. In effect the caster's form shrinks one(1) size catagory on the plane to which it is cast from.
While in the spatial altered (shrunken) form the caster suffers no penalties for having her size reduced, but is subject to attacks that would effect her from being on the Ethereal plan (ghost touch and similar effects). The caster can only reduce herself by a maximum of one(1) catagory via this spell. This spell only effects her size in relation to dimensions on the plane she is casting from, all other effects STR, movement speed, reach, etc still function normally. This is because she is still the normal size, and is reaching partially via the ethereal plane. She is not effected by miss chances from being on the Ethereal plane because she is also on the plane where she cast it.
The caster cannot use this spell in areas that are protected from reaching the Ethereal plane or are bound by Dimensional Lock. If such a spell goes off that breaks the connection or prohibits the connection the spell is ended immediately and the caster immediately returns to normal size., taking damage if the size is too small to fit her new forms size. This spell will not work while on the Ethereal plane.
If the caster is targeted by a size altering spell it effects her normally, either increasing her size or decreasing her size, but the adjustments are off her "true" size not her adjusted spatial size. So if the caster is large form and casts Adjust Spatial Reality while on the prime material plane, she appears as a medium size in relation to prime material plane, but is still a large creature. If she is then targeted by a Shrink spell she will decrease her size taking any penalties for such addjustments. Her size on the current plane will also be adjusted, so she will now appear to be a small creature while in fact she is only a medium creature.
Since this spell is a connection between the plane it is cast from and the Ethereal plane, anything that breaks or alters that connection also breaks this spell. So spells like Dimension Door or Teleport cast or used by the caster will break the spell effects returning her to her true size.
