What Happened to '[Insert 1E/2E Spell Name Here]'?

There is a specific license for converting old products on the WotC licensing page. Does Eldritch Sorcery's Section 15 mention anything wierd the way Tome of Horrors does?

That was a great spell... very flavorful. Straight out of the Bible.

You can find what I imagine to be the official update of Sticks to Snakes in DRAGON # 317, page 71, in the Silicon Sorcery article on D&D Heroes. Enjoy.

Necro's Eldritch Sorcery is a great tome...I've been using it a little with C&C. I was very happy to see Wyvern Watch and Chant in there as well.

The old, incredibly handy Write spell is gone too.

As is, for no reason that I can ascertain, the classic Staff of Striking.

Violates the 3e 'staff' paradigm.

So refresh my memory. What did 'Write' and the Staff of Striking do? The Temple of Elemental Evil computer game has a staff of striking which lets you burn charges for extra damage. I suppose if you wanted to stick to 3.5 rules, you could do it as a charged spell-effect item based on Inflict Light Wounds.

I can't remember for the life of me what Write did, though.

I have a grudge against Sticks to Snakes, resulting from my first cleric character. The way my brother ran the campaign, Sticks to Snakes would be better described as "Make all stick-like objects mysteriously absent from the vicinity." Even outside in the woods he said there were no suitible sticks.

Just like the old Call Lightning spell ensured you'd have perfect weather.
