CHAPTER 3:CHARACTERSAND MAGICShadowfadeIllusion (Shadow)Level: Sor/Wiz 5Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Personal and touchTargets: You and up to one touched creature/levelDuration: 1 minute/levelSaving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesYou open a portal onto the Plane of Shadow, allowingyourself and creatures you touch to pass into that area.Unlike the shadow walk spell, this does not grant you theability to open another such portal automatically, so thespell is often used as a temporary hiding place or amethod of gaining access to the Plane of Shadow.The portal remains for the duration of the spell, andother creatures may pass through it in either direction ifthey make a Will save. The portal is invisible from theMaterial Plane and looks like a white hole on the Planeof Shadow.As with the shadow walk spell, you must be in a regionof heavy shadows to cast shadowfade. The spell may onlybe cast on a plane coexistent with the Plane of Shadow,and it cannot be cast on the Plane of Shadow itself.Xorn MovementAlterationLevel: Sor/Wiz 5Components: V, S, FCasting time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: 1 round/level or see belowSaving Throw: Will negates (harmless)Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)The target of this spell may move through natural, solidmaterial such as earth and stone such as a xorn, burrowingthrough the earth but leaving behind no tunnel orsign of passage. The target cannot move through workedstone, brick, or metal. A move earth spell cast on an areacontaining a creature using xorn movement will fling thetarget back 30 feet and stun it for 1 round (a successfulFortitude save negates the stunning).The target of xorn movement is able to breathe normallywhile entombed in earth and natural rock.The xorn movement spell lasts a minimum of 1round/level. If the target has not emerged into a significantvolume of open air (a space large enough to containthe target comfortably) for the entire duration of thespell, xorn movement remains in effect until the targetdoes move into such as area.
