CHAPTER 3ARCANEFEATS76Illus. by D. CrabapplePrerequisites: Spell Focus (necromancy), caster level 7th.Benefit: Any necromancy spell you cast can be cast insteadas a Moilian spell, dealing an extra 1d6 points of negativeenergy damage +1d6 per two spell levels (+1d6 for 1st-levelspells, +2d6 for 2nd- or 3rd-level spells, and so on). If thespell normally allows a saving throw, the target takes halfthe negative energy damage on a successful save, regardlessof the outcome of the save on the spell’s normal effect.In addition to its normal spell components, a Moilian spellrequires the creation and expenditure of a Moilian runebone—asmall human bone (often a fingerbone) scribed with carefully prepared arcanemarkings. Only a character trainedin the Black Lore of Moil knows thesecrets of creating a runebone,which takes 1 hour to craft and requiresspecial inks and powderscosting 25 gp per die of negativeenergy damage to be generated.For example, a runebonecapable of adding 3d6points of negativeenergy damage to aspell costs 75 gp tocraft.While the maximumnegative energydamage dealt by a Moilianspell is based on thespell’s level, the actualdamage is limited by therunebone. For example,if a sorcerer casts fingerof death (a 7th-level spell,so normally +4d6) with a75-gp (3d6) runebone, thespell deals only 3d6 pointsof additional negative energydamage.A Moilian spell uses aspell slot of the spell’s normallevel.A student of theBlack Lore of MoilBORN OF THE THREE THUNDERS[METAMAGIC]You have learned to marry the power of lightning and thunderin your electricity and sonic spells.Prerequisites: Knowledge (nature) 4 ranks, EnergySubstitution (electricity).Benefit: When you cast a spell with either the electricitydescriptor or the sonic descriptor that deals hit point damage,you can declare that spell to be a spell of the three thunders,with half its damage dealt as electricity damage and halfdealt as sonic damage. In addition, the spell concludes with amighty thunderclap that stuns all creatures that take damagefrom the spell for 1 round unless they succeed on a Fortitudesave, then knocks stunned creatures prone unless they succeedon a Reflex save (both saves at the same DC as the basespell). Channeling the three thunders is costly, though, andyou are automatically dazed for 1 round after doing so.A three thunders spell uses a spell slot of the spell’snormal level. In addition, its descriptor changes to includeboth energy types—for example, a lightning bolt of the threethunders is an evocation [electricity, sonic] spell.CHAIN SPELL [METAMAGIC]You can cast spells that arc to other targets in addition to theprimary target.Prerequisite: Any metamagic feat.Benefit: Any spell that specifies a single target and hasa range greater than touch can be chained so as to affectthat primary target normally, then arc to a number ofsecondary targets equal to your caster level (maximum20). Each arc affects one secondary target chosenby you, all of which must be within 30 feet of theprimary target, and none of which can be affectedmore than once. You can choose to affect fewersecondary targets than the maximum.If the chained spell deals damage, the secondarytargets each take half as much damageas the primary target (rounded down) and canattempt Reflex saving throws for halfdamage (whether the spell allows theoriginal target a save ornot). For spells that don’tdeal damage, the saveDCs against arcingeffects are reducedby 4. For example, ifa 10th-level wizard normallycasts cause fear atDC 14, a chained causefear could target a goblinchieftain at DC 14 andup to ten of his nearbyguards at DC 10.A chained spell uses up a spell slot three levelshigher than the spell’s actual level.COMMUNICATORYou possess a magical understanding of the essence oflanguage.Benefit: An innate talent for magic grants you the followingspell-like abilities as a 1st-level caster: 1/day—arcanemark, comprehend languages, message.COOPERATIVE SPELL [METAMAGIC]You can cast spells to greater effect in conjunction with thesame spell cast by another individual.Prerequisites: Any metamagic feat.Benefit: While the two of you are adjacent, you and anotherspellcaster with the Cooperative Spell feat can simultaneously
