All creatures within the swarm suffer 1 hit point of damage every round, spell-casting is impossible, and any creatures of 2 Hit Dice or less will immediately attempt to flee the cloud as quickly as possible - creatures of 5 Hit Dice or less must make a Will save to remain with the swarm.  Undead and constructs are unaffected by insect plague.

Iron Skins

• Level: Clr 5, Rgr 5
• Range: Caster
• Duration: 8 hours
• Casting Time: 1 round
• Area of Effect: Caster
• Saving Throw: None

This spell provides the caster with a damage reduction of 10/- to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.  This resistance bonus only applies to a number of attacks equal to 1 attack for every 2 levels of the caster up to a maximum of 8, after which the spell will dissipate.  This spell is not cumulative with itself or similar magicks (such as the 4th level wizard spell Stoneskin).

Raise Dead

• (Necromancy)
• Level: Clr 5, Lathander 5
• Range: Sight of Caster
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Casting Time: 1 round
• Area of Effect: 1 creature
• Saving Throw: None

The person has but 1 hit point when raised and must regain the rest by natural healing or curative magic.  Raise Dead will not work on someone killed by a Death Spell, Finger of Death, Destruction, or Disintegrate.

Note that when this spell is inscribed on a scroll, its power is diminished.  A scroll of Raise Dead may not work unless invoked at the place where the target died.

Shield of Lathander

• (Conjuration) [Good]
• Level: Clr 5, Lathander 4
• Range: Touch
• Duration: 2 rounds
• Casting Time: 8
• Area of Effect: 1 creature

• Range: Touch
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Casting Time: 1 round
• Area of Effect: 1 creature
• Saving Throw: Fortitude partial

This spell imbues the caster's hands with destructive negative energy that will release when a successful touch attack is made.  This attack will instantly slay a living creature unless a Fortitude save is made, in which case the creature takes 3d6 + 1/level points of magic damage instead.  This spell has no affect on undead or constructs.

Spell Resistance

• (Transmutation)
• Level: Clr 5, Pal 5
• Range: Touch
• Duration: 1 minute / level
• Casting Time: 1 round
• Area of Effect: 1 creature
• Saving Throw: None

This spell grants the recipient a spell resistance of 12 + 1 per level of the caster.  This effect will last for the duration of the spell or, ironically enough, until dispelled.  This spell will replace whatever spell resistance that the creature already has, so it is possible that the recipient could have his spell resistance lowered by the spell. This spell may be cast only on party members and allies of the caster.

Summon Monster 5

Undead Ward

• (Necromancy)
• Level: Clr 5, Pal 5, Selune 5
• Range: Caster
• Duration: 10 rounds
• Casting Time: 7
• Area of Effect: 20-foot radius
• Saving Throw: None

This spell amplifies the influence the caster has over undead, though it is tied to the area surrounding the caster where cast and does not move.  Any undead creature entering the area of effect is affected as if turned by the caster that invoked this spell.  If the turning fails, the undead creature is immune to further turning attempts by the spell unless it leaves and reenters the area of effect.
