Area of Effect: Humanoid of Medium-size or smaller
Saving Throw: Will negates

This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person receives a Will save to avoid the effect. If the spell recipient fails his saving throw, he regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give him orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible. If the caster harms, or attempts to harm, the charmed person by some overt action, or if a dispel magic spell is successfully cast upon the charmed person, the charm spell is broken. If two or more charm effects simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while he was charmed.

This spell turns a creature invisible and makes it undetectable by normal vision or darkvision.

Enchantment

Range: Sight of Caster
Duration: 10 rounds
Casting Time: 2

Duration: 3 rounds/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

When a Mirror Image spell is invoked, the spellcaster causes two to eight duplicates of himself to come into being around him. These images do exactly what the wizard does. Since the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when it is cast, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which ones are the illusions and which is the actual wizard. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attack, magical or otherwise, it disappears, but any other existing images remain intact until struck. The images shift from round to round so that an enemy must first hit every image before being able to hit the wizard.

Through this spell, the caster is able to enter a state where she is constantly phasing between the material and ethereal planes.

Thus, the creature will fight enemies of the caster, even former allies. The spell is limited in the same manner as Charm Person Spell. The spell can affect any humanoid medium-sized or smaller. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. A successful Will save will negate any effect.

Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be held, while an ogre could not. The effect selects the enemies closest to the target and holds them. Enemies making their Will saves are totally unaffected by the spell. Undead creatures cannot be held. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subject's condition due to wounds, disease, or poison. A successful Will save negates any effect.

Saving Throw: None

This spell causes all creatures within 10' of the caster to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even darkvision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or his gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible, items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the wizard or recipient cancels it, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until the duration has expired. Thus the invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc., but if he attacks, he immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables him to attack first.

In addition, the target gains +6 strength, +2 constitution, and a bonus to his/her movement rate. The spell has several disadvantages, however.

Mordenkainen's Force Missiles

Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Range: Sight of Caster
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special

This spell creates a brilliant globe of magical energy that streaks forth from the caster's hand to unerringly strike its target, much like a Magic Missile spell. The wizard creates one missile at 7th level, and an additional missile at every third level after 7th - in other words, two missiles at 10th level, three at 13th, four at 16th, and so on, to a maximum of seven missiles at 25th level. Each missile inflicts 2d4 points of damage to the target and then bursts in a 5-foot radius concussive blast that inflicts 1 point of damage per level of the caster - for example, a 12th-level wizard could conjure two force missiles, each of which strikes for 2d4+12 points of damage. Creatures taking damage may attempt a Reflex save to negate the concussion damage, but those struck directly by a force missile receive no saves and will receive full damage. The 1st level wizard spell Shield will absorb the force missiles harmlessly, including the concussion damage.

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere

Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Range: Sight of Caster
Duration: 1 round / level
Casting Time: 1

The resilient sphere will contain its subject for the duration of the spell. The sphere is completely immune to all damage; the only method of removing the sphere is by the use of a Dispel Magic spell. Hence the creature caught inside the globe is completely safe from all attacks, but at the same time is completely unable to affect the outside world.

Duration: 5 rounds/level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

In addition, the Spirit Armor will not work cumulatively with any other armor, however, dexterity, deflection, and shield bonuses still apply. While in effect, the armor bonus is +6, as if he were wearing splint mail. Also, due to the magical nature of the spell, the recipient will receive a +3 bonus to Fortitude saves. There is a danger to using the target's life force to power the spell, as when the spell expires, the external portion of the spirit is temporarily lost and 2d4 points of damage is incurred.

Vitriolic Sphere

Conjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Range: Sight of Caster
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Reflex half

This spell conjures a sphere of glowing emerald acid that the caster can direct to strike any target within range. When it reaches its target, the sphere explodes and drenches the victim in potent acid. The victim suffers 1d4 points of acid damage per caster level, to a maximum of 12d4 points of damage (Reflex half). After the initial damage, the victim must make a Reflex save every round which will reduce the damage for that round by half and also stop any further acid damage. If unsuccessful, the victim continues to suffer acid damage in the following rounds, sustaining two less dice of damage each round. For example, an 8th-level wizard inflicts 8d4 damage with this spell on the first round, 6d4 on the second round, 4d4 on the third round, 2d4 on the fourth round, and the spell ends on the fifth round. Each round the victim is entitled to a Reflex save to avoid further damage in any remaining rounds. The vitriolic sphere also splashes acid in a 5-foot radius around the primary target. Any creatures within the splash radius must make a Reflex save or suffer a splash hit that inflicts 1d4 points of damage per every five levels of the caster. Splash hits do not cause continuing damage.
