I have just a few suggestions.Lesser Crystal Orb - This spell does very little damage, especially for a 2nd level spell. I recommend adding a special effect on top of the damage for each orb. For example: Blue Orb: 1d4 cold damage/level. (Max 5d4), [fortitude save or be slowed for 1d4 rounds.]Red Orb: 1d4 fire damage/level (Max 5d4), [reflex save or ignite on fire.]Yellow Orb: 1d4 electricity damage/level (Max 5d4), [fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round.]Orange Orb: 1d4 acid damage/level (max 5d4), [reflex save or take 5d4 damage on the following round.]White Orb: 1d4 sonic damage/level (max 5d4), [fortitude save or be deafened for 1d4 +1 rounds.]Green Orb: Crystalline vines entangle target, -2 effective Dex, movement reduce by half, -2 all attack rolls for 1d4 rounds, [reflex save or be unable to move while entangled.]Purple Orb: [deals 1d4 magic damage per level (max 5d4), will save or be confused for 1d3 rounds.]Black Orb: Subject is blinded for 1d4 rounds. Fort negates.[deals 1d4 negative energy damage/level (Max 5d4)]Lesser Crystalline Shield - I would have the Lesser Crystaline Shield absorb 5 points of damage each round of any type (up to 5 points of damage/ level (max 50)) rather than supply an armor bonus. This would make it more compatible with other spells like Mage Armor, and, IMHO, better represents what a crystal shard that moves to intercept attacks would do.Crystalline Orb - same thing as the lesser orb. Should do damage and a negative effect that can be avoided with a save.Greater Crystalline Shield - same as cystaline shield, but with a higher damage cap and absorption per round. 20/round up to 20/level (max 200)sound good for an 8th level spell.[EDIT] I also recommend that the crystalline shield spells have an expensive material component (i.e. a 25 gold crystal for lesser shield, 500 gold crystal for greater shield).</blockquote>
