CHAPTER 2:EPIC SPELLSkills a creature of up to 80 HD. The subject is entitled to aFortitude saving throw to survive the attack. If the save issuccessful, it instead takes 3d6+20 points of damage. Foreach additional 80 HD affected (or each additional creatureaffected), increase the Spellcraft DC by +8.Alternatively, you can use the day seed in an epic spellto suppress the life force of the target by bestowing 2d4negative levels on the target (or half as many negativelevels on a successful Fortitude save). For each additional1d4 negative levels bestowed, increase the Spellcraft DCby +4. If the subject has at least as many negative levels asHit Dice, it dies. If the subject survives and the negativelevels persist for 24 hours or longer, the subject mustmake another Fortitude saving throw, or the negativelevels are converted to actual level loss.SEED: SUMMONConjuration (Summoning)Spellcraft DC: 14Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: 75 ft.Effect: One summoned creatureDuration: 20 rounds (D)Saving Throw: Will negates (see text)Spell Resistance: Yes (see text)You can summon an outsider. It appears where you designateand acts immediately, on your turn, if its spell resistanceis overcome and it fails a Will saving throw. It attacksyour opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicatewith the outsider, you can direct it not to attack,to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions.The spell conjures an outsider you select from the MonsterManual (or an alternative source allowed by your DM)of CR 2 or less. For each +1 CR of the summoned outsider,increase the Spellcraft DC by +2. For each additionaloutsider of the same Challenge Rating summoned,multiply the Spellcraft DC by ×2. When you develop aspell with the summon seed that summons an air, chaotic,earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, the completedspell is also of that type.If you increase the Spellcraft DC by +10, you cansummon a creature of CR 2 or less from another monstertype or subtype, such as giant, humanoid (goblinoid), orundead. The summoned creature is assumed to have beenplucked from some other plane (or somewhere on thesame plane). The summoned creature attacks your opponentsto the best of its ability; or, if you can communicatewith it, it will perform other actions. However, the summoningends if the creature is asked to perform a taskinimical to its nature, such as commanding a good creatureto attack an innocent, or commanding any creatureto commit suicide. For each +1 CR of the summonedcreature, increase the Spellcraft DC by +2.Finally, if you increase the Spellcraft DC by +60, youcan summon a unique individual you specify from anywherein the multiverse. You must know the target’sname and some facts about its life, defeat any magicprotection against discovery or other protection possessedby the target, and overcome the target’s spell resisance,and it must fail a Will saving throw. Again, thetarget is under no special compulsion to serve you.SEED: TRANSFORMTransmutationSpellcraft DC: 21Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: 300 ft.Target: One creature or inanimate, nonmagical objectDuration: PermanentSaving Throw: Fortitude negates (see text)Spell Resistance: YesSpells using the transform seed change the subject intoanother form of creature or object.
