Spell Proposal

Transmute Defiler to Wormery (6th Level Alteration)

Range: 30 yards

Duration: Permanent

Area of Effect: 1 Defiler

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 5

Saving Throw: Vs. Spells


The Transmute Defiler to Wormery spell does exactly what it claims. If successful the target cannot be raised nor resurrected. All that is left is a mass of nutrient rich soil writhing with worms equal in weight to the targeted Defiler. The changes can be reversed by a Limited Wish if it is cast prior to the consumption of any produce grown from the soil. Wish will restore the subject back to life. The caster points at the target and speaks the verbal components; unless the target succeeds in a Saving Throw vs Spells, the transmutation takes effect. The soil created by this spell is under the effect of a Conservation spell for a number of seasons equal to the level of the transmuted Defiler (which cannot exceed the Casters Level). A defiler successfully saving still receives 2d8+1 points of damage.

Cannot affect defilers 5 levels or higher than the caster of this spell.

Material component is a singular gem of 100 CP or more in value that is consumed in the casting and a handful of grave dirt from a high level (9th level or higher) preserver.


Demi-Shadow Tangents (4th level Alteration, Enchantment/Charm, Illusion/Phantasm)

Range: 10 yards/Caster Level

Duration: 1d10 rounds/Caster Level

Area of Effect: One Psionicist

Components: V, M

Casting Time: 4

Saving Throw: Negate.



This spell is only useful against Psionicists. It feints an Attack Mode getting the target to commit to a Defense Mode and then blindsides them with an arcane confusion effect leaving them catatonic for the duration to any onlookers. Internally, they spend this time ‘righting the ship’ and correcting whatever acid trip mindscape chaos the spell occupies them with during this surrealist introspection. Targets make their saving throws with a -1 for every two Caster Levels. When they are no longer catatonic, they simply remember being overwhelmed by ‘psionic power unlike any they’ve previously experienced’ having no specific recall of the psychic contest itself.

The Material Component for this spell is the appropriate amount of PSP to pay for the best Attack Mode against the Defense Mode that the AoE uses. Beyond that, a quartz lens worth 1000cp must be on the casters person as well. The quartz lens is not consumed in casting. The Verbal component is a low resonant hum.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

The parenthetical (which cannot exceed the Caster's Level) is placed so that it implies that this only affects the Conservation part of the spell effect. Is this correct, or is the spell only supposed to work on defilers of your level or lower?

[AthasianLaborer]

I poorly articulated it, it is intended to mean that it can't be used on Defilers above the Casters Level but I don't disagree with Bob's edits either.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

It's a very interesting proposal but it is prone to fail often, as the saving throw is vs the strongest one a wizard class has. Maybe vs Petrification/Polymorph sav. throw stat as it'll be a change and not instantaneous?

I understand then that it's cast when the defiler is still alive then, right?
Could the spell be also used if casted in a defeated defiler too? Without saves as they'll be deceased.

[DM Bob]

Saves can be lowered via debuffs. I did not see the implied lower than caster level in the description, so that's why I threw the caveat of level in there to avoid players from one spelling a sorcerer monarch.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

S-Ms probably have magic resistance, too, and maybe even spell turning (not that it will hurt you on reflect if you're a preserver).

If you really wanna make something like this stick, open with spells like greater malison first. Or, if you're really high level, Otto's irresistable dance (which has no save and causes all subsequent saves to fail except on a 20).

Updated OP with new pitch.

Watching Past (4th Level Earth)

Range: Touch
Duration: 1 rnd/2 levels
Area of Effect: Self
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 5
Saving Throw: None


The caster can see & feel the last scenes that the rock presenced from its position about anything, anyone or any event that happened in its close vicinity.
The maximum span that the stone may remember will depend on the level of the caster and their own presence to trigger a better response, which then can request to visualise & feel anything within that range.

Cleric spell level (starting at 1 at 7th level)+Cha reaction adjustment modifier [Range span]
0- [1 day], 1 [1 week], 2 [1 month], 3 [1 year], 4 [10 years], 5 [100 years], 6 [250 years], 7 [500 years], 8+ [1,000 years].


A specific scene can be requested per round, but the range span is not rerolled, neither if casted in the same area of the rock/stone.

The components are a pinch of sand that must be sprinkle over whilst touching the rock.
