I'm trying to convert some of the spells from the 2nd Ed supplement Pages from the Mages, and I came across one that I'm having problems with. Specifically, Prismatic Eye (PftM,p12).
The spell in 2nd Ed was a 6th level Alteration/Evocation spell, which creates an eyeball resembling that of wizard eye/arcane eye. once every four rounds the eye could emit a single target ray (requiring an attack roll) that functioned exactly as a color spray spell. In lieu of the color spray effect, the eye could glow as per a light spell for four rounds.
I'm thinking:
a) drop the level to 5th; the feats that repeat spells only raise it a maximum of 4 levels, and this isn't as effective as those.
b) making it an Evocation spell; my poblem with this is that Color Spray is an Illusion[Pattern] spell, so it seems odd to have an evocation spell duplicating an illusion, but there is some precedent in the Prismatic Wall/Sphere/Spray spells.
What do people think?
