I would rename protection of diamond to something like diamond shield, or diamond cloak, or something like that, the name just doesn't fly with me

I the DR should be limited to 15/adamantine and magic maximum. No DR is higher than that now, and shouldn't be imo.

I like reinforce, good solid spell. I would even lower than casting time to one minute, I think 10 minutes is not really necessary.

Personally, I don't see werelight being a replacement for the light spell. Now one thing I think you could do is change it to a conjuration spell, and have it summon a creature called a werelight. That way conjurations specialists who give up evoc has a light source.

I'm not sure your entirely correct about that...but I dont think 16 at 16th 17 at 17th etc is a big deal.

Probably right

Its not really ment to be. I just think its stupid that you have to cast Light on an object.

Interesting idea, although I'd have it be a glowing orb not a creature.

Actually, he is. DR 15/x is the max for non-epic. Personally, I'd make it either adamantine or magic; generally, a creature is one or the other, not both. And how many people have magical adamantine weapons anyway?


Reinforce: We have a spell just like that: it's 2nd-3rd level, increases the hardness by 5 and the hp by 2/level, and is permanent (only one casting/object).

Werelight: Yeah, I think it's silly that it has to be cast on an object too. I long for the days of the old "cast it in the air", but hey... What you could do, instead, is make it a 0-level spell, and reduce the radius of light to, say, 5 feet. That's what I think of when I think of a werelight anyway - just something a mage would use to read by, or something like that.
