        First something creative for all of you.

Roland's Disrobement (conjuration/summoning)
Level: 1
Range: 1 yard/level
Area of effect: self
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1
Saving Throw: none
Duration: Instantaneous

        This spell allows the caster to romove all of his clothing and replace
it with another set of clothing in a single segment.  This clothing can be
normal or magical, metal armor or leather, anything the wizard is currently
wearing.  However, the spell cannot place armor onto the caster's body.  The
clothes to be donned must be within the spell range.  The material component for
this spell is a piece of parchament with the word "wardrobe" written in elvish.
The somatic and material components consist of the cast pointing at himself and
syaing the magic words "Hannskrischenandersun!"

Origins:  A grey elf mage/thief once lived in Furyondy and was apprenticed under
his uncle the magister of a castle deep in the heart of the country.  He was
always having to take off his leather armor in order to cast spells, so he
decided to research a spell that would allow him to change out of it in an
instant.
        Unfortunately for poor Roland he was executed by the new magister who
hated elves.  However, it was fortunate that he did not research it because it
wouldn't have worked the way he wanted it to.  You see having a 4 wisdom,
Roland never figured out that you can't ever cast this spell in armor.


In the spirt of Roland, here are some more of his ideas on mages and clothing.

Roland's Wonderous Wardrobe (Alteration)
Level: 3
Range: Touch
Duration:  5 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 3
Components: V,S,M
Area Of Effect: 1 person or being
Saving Throw: Neg.

Description:  This spell allows the caster to change the cut and design of the
target's clothes and armor as he sees fit during the duration of the spell.
This spell may be used to alter the caster's clothing into armor and change them
back again at will during the duration of the spell. If the target is not the
caster then the recipient is allowed to make a saving throw each time his outfit
is changed or altered.  The material component for this spell is a miniature
wardrobe carved out of wood.  The verbal and somatic gestures consist of
dancing around in a little jig and saying "Seven with one blow!"

Origins:  Roland thought that this spell would be more useful because he would
be able to change in and out of armor at will.  In addition he thought that if
anyone were to annoy him or try casting spells he could make thier clothes
ill-fitting or clad them in heavy armor, making spell casting difficult if not
impossible.  However, he again never saw his short-sightedness and never forsaw
the possibility of having to take his armor off in the first place in order to
cast this spell.

Maybe more Roland the Tailor-Mage later on.
