Thresher
First Post
Hi, just a few of the spells me and my GM have been working on, most are my own from a long time character that Ive managed to carry over from 2E into 3E with it.
Dunno how relevent they are now in the new system, but I always liked some of the home cooked spells anyway, let me know what you think. Be kind, the character is a gimp.

Micarlin's voracious skirmisher
Conjuration
Level: Sorc/wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Duration: 10mins per caster level
A melee enhancement spell that channels the elemental power of the earth through a fighter's weapon making it hit harder, but not more accurately. It will not combine with other magical melee weapon enhancements apart from any permanent ones on the weapon itself.
It only effects hand held melee weapons, no arrows or bolts will gain any benefit and only 1 weapon at a time per spell can be done.
Caster level- 1-5 adds an additional 1d4 damage to the weapon
Caster level- 6-10 adds an additional 1d6 damage to the weapon
Caster level- 11-15 adds an additional 2d4 damage to the weapon
Caster level- 16-20 adds an additional 2d6 damage to the weapon
No bonuses to hit are conferred, but the weapon counts as being magical +1 for the purposes of hitting creatures if it is only a standard weapon. A small piece of hard clay is the material component.

Area: 15ft radius spread
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Whilst lacking the display, range and damage of the fireball spell, this energy attack is somewhat more debilitating to living enemies and can do substantial damage to fortifications and buildings. Unlike the fireball it does have immense pressure at the direct centre which will buckle, break objects and structures.
Caster points at the range and height that they want the epicentre and unless intercepted by some other solid barrier. Streaks away as a glowing blue ball about the size of a large marble before erupting in an ear shattering explosion.
Damage is 1D4 per caster level up to 10D4, save for half.
Additional effects for creatures in the area of effect are stun for 1D3 rounds and deafened for 1D6 rounds. A save halves both the damage and deafness effects with no stunning. Undead are immune to the effects of stun and deafness but take damage as per normal.
The effects are of hitting objects and structures are detailed on pg135 of the PHB, for the purposes of damage type- sonic attack.
The material component is a glass bead

Micarlin's tenebrous mantle
Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Sorc/wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting time: 1 action
Range: Caster only
Duration: 12hrs
Drawing on the plane of shadow, this spell dampens noise and makes it harder to see the caster as wreaths of shadow mimic the surrounding area. Whilst the spell doesn't completely make the caster invisible or silent they do receive a +30 bonus to Hide and Move Silently. The downside of the spell is that they do have an extra 5% to spell failure on spells requiring a verbal component and a -5 to Listen and Spot checks.
Micarlin's Greater Earthen Fury

Level: Sorc/wiz 6
Components: V, S, M

Level: Sorc/wiz 6
Components: V, S, M, F
Casting time: 10mins
Range: Touch
Area: Single target
Duration: 30days
Saving Throw: no
Spell Resistance: no
This spell empowers a 6ft across, lens shaped obsidian disk into a rudimentary flying device. The disk itself costs 2000gp to fabricate if the caster is unable to make one themselves. Although it is relatively slow (40ft per round- no double move) the disk can carry up to 2500pds and is quite manoeuvrable (Good). Once the spell has empowered the disk it is under the control of the caster for the next 30 days and only they may operate it. Once the duration ends the disk floats gently to the ground and will require a recast of the spell, though it can be recast at anytime before then.
The material components are a lodestone worth 20gp and 100gp worth of ground Turquoise rock.

A more advanced energy attack is somewhat more debilitating to living enemies and can do substantial damage to fortifications and buildings. Unlike the fireballs, it does have immense pressure at the direct centre, which will buckle, break objects and structures.
Caster points at the range and height that they want the epicentre and unless intercepted by some other solid barrier. Streaks away as a glowing blue ball about the size of a large marble before erupting in an ear shattering explosion or can be set up to 5 rounds before it goes off. Picking up the ball will result in a premature detonation, with no save for the creature touching it.
Damage is 1D4 per caster level up to 20D4, save for half.
Additional effects for creatures in the area of effect are stun for 1D3 rounds and deafened for 1D6 rounds. A save halves both the damage and deafness effects with no stunning. Undead are immune to the effects of stun and deafness but take damage as per normal.
The effects are of hitting objects and structures are detailed on pg135 of the PHB, for the purposes of damage type- sonic attack.
