I haven't written a 1st level spell in ages, especially for DS, so here
goes. Tell me what you think:


Sand Glass (Alteration)

Range: 1 ft.
Components: V,S,M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 round (see below)
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

  This simple spell allows wizards to create small glass objects (up to 3 
pounds) out of sand. If used creatively, it is a handy spell for many 
situations. The caster can shape the glass in any way he wants, but trying 
to duplicate an existing object or creating something complex or valuable 
will require the proper artistic proficiencies. The caster can produce 
either transparent or translucent glass. Common products of this spell are 
cups, bowls, vials, small windows, crystal bullets, cutting shards, and so 
on. The spell itself doesn't produce sharp enough edges for cutting, but 
this can be done after the glass is made. It takes at least one round to 
prepare the glass, plus a variable time for the shaping, dependant on the 
object's complexity (DM's discretion).
  The material component of this spell is a small crystal lens to 
concentrate any light source stronger than torchlight on the sand. The lens 
is not expended.
