Quick Spell Descriptions, please

[svwilson]

I'm prepping for Friday's game and someone suggested that I learn to use one of the following spells. I won't have access to a Spell Compendium until that night, but could anyone briefly describe the effects of these spells for me? (By "briefly" I mean don't violate the rules by copying the whole thing.)

Arrow Mind
Hunter's Mercy
Nightstalker's transformation
Recitation

Thanks!

Hunter's Mercy - your first hit with a bow (not a crossbow) in the round after you cast this spell is an automatic critical hit. Rgr1, standard casting time, lasts 1 round.

2cents on Nightstalkers, while it's in effect you can't cast. It's (Tensors) Mages Transformation but with roguelike bonuses. For a straight caster it won't make you a good fighter, or good rogue in this case. If put into a spell storing ring or ioun stone and used by a rogue or fighter however....

That last bit should be "3d6 Sneak Attack." And I did mention the part about no casting.
