I don't know. This spell alows the recipient to see in darkness as if it isnormal daylight. This does not grant vision in magical darkness. If the person under the effect of this spell encounters a non-dark area where he can see normally, the spell will end, and he will not be able to see in darkness any more. ----------------------------------------- Sound proof bubble Level 4 Wiz Sphere Alteration Duration 2 Round per level of caster Range 5 feet per level of caster Area of Effect 10' rad around target Saving Throw Negate Components Who cares. If the caster casts this spell, he brings about an invisible bubble with rad of 10' centered at the target he selects. Depending on the caster's choice, the spell can work in one of 2 Ways : a) No sound can enter the bubble, and no sound can leave the bubble, but sound inside the bubble, and outside the bubble, stays normal. I.e. The caster and a few companions can have a nice and quiet conversation inside this bubble while a deafening noise is raging (whatever) outside. b) He opt to allow sound to pass in or out through the bubble, or both or none. He can change the function of the bubble anytime before the duration ends, but this version of the spell requiers (sp?) the caster to concentrate the whole time he want to maintain the bubble. THe bubble's function can be changed 1'ce per round. Also this version of the spell have to be centered on the caster. This spell will proof safety to sound based attacks, but each such attack has a commulative 15% chance of bursting the bubble. I.e. the first attack has a 15% chace, the second has a 30 percent chance, etc. Note that the attacker can walk into the bubble, and then attack those inside the bubble, and any1 outside won't hear the sound/attack. Wizzards and priests CAN cast spells with verbal components inside the bubble, but if the spell uses a sound based effect, those sounds will not be able to pass through the bubble. If the sound originates from an ilusion outside the bubble, You won't be able to hear it inside the bubble. Also, If I remember correctly, There is a wizzard spell that allows the caster to make a sound with his mouth, and will sound as if it originated from somewhere else. How you rule the effect of this spell, is up to you (DM) when cast inside the bubble. Please tell your players before hand how you will handle it. If you want to cast the spell on an unwilling recipient, (For example someone with a horn of disruption) he is allowed a saving throw versus spell to negate the spell.

Reshape Spell (level 4) -------------- Components: S Range: nil Area of Effect: Caster Casting Time: 1 round Duration: N/A Saving Throw: N/A By casting this spell, the caster can select any one of his spells currently memorized, and then reshape the pattern it has taken in his brain into that of another spell, while looking at a scroll or his spell book to select the new pattern he wants it to be in. It can only make a spell's energy into that of a lower spell, since some of the energy will go lost, and the two spells have to be in the same school. And the new spell has a maximum spell level of 6. (When the caster can cast 7th level spells, he has to shape a 7th, 8th or 9th level spell into a 6th level spell) This spell is there to use in emergencies when you studied the wrong spell, and you have only a short time to relearn a new spell. If the caster is desturbed while casting this spell, the energy is lost.
