MAGIC-USER SPELLS (4TH LEVEL)Explanation/Description: This spell creates a magical sphere around thecaster which prevents any first, second or third level spells frompenetrating, i.e. the area of effect of any such spells does not include thearea of the minor globe of invulnerability. However, any sort of spells canbe cast out of the magical sphere, and they pass from the caster of theglobe, through its area of effect, and to their target without effect upon theminor globe of invulnerability. Fourth and higher level spells are notaffected by the globe. It can be brought down by a dispel magic spell. Thematerial <strong>com</strong>ponent of the spell is a glass or crystal bead.Monster Summoning II (Conjuration/Summoning)Level: 4Range: 4"Duration: 3 rounds + Iround/levelArea of Effect: SpecialComponents: V, S, MCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: This spell is similar to the third level monstersummoning I spell (q.v.). Its major difference is that 1-6 second levelmonsters are conjured up. The material <strong>com</strong>ponents ore the same as thoseof the lesser spell. There is also a 1-4 round delay.Plant Growth (Alteration)level: 4Range: l"/levelDuration: PermanentArea of Effect: 1 " X 1 " squarearea/levelComponents: V, SCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same as athird level druid spell, plant growth (q.v.).Polymorph Other (Alteration)Level: 4Range: %"/levelDuration: PermanentArea of Effect: One creatureComponents: V, S, MCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: Neg.Explanation/Description: The polymorph other spell is a powerful magicwhich <strong>com</strong>pletely alters the form and ability, and possibly the personalityand mentality, of the recipient. Of course, creatures with a lowerintelligence cannot be polymorphed into something with a higherintelligence, but the reverse is possible. The creature polymorphed mustmake a "system shock" (cf. CONSTITUTION) roll to see if it survives thechange. If it is successful, it then acquires all of the form and abilities ofthe creature it has been polymorphed into. There is a base 100% chancethat this change will also change its personality and mentality into that ofthe creature whose form it now possesses. For each 1 point of intelligenceof the creature polymorphed, subtract 5% from the base chance.Additionally, for every hit die of difference between the original form andthe form it is changed into by the spell, the polymorphed creature mustadjust the base chance percentage by +/-5% per hit die below or aboveits own number (or level in the case of characters). The chance forassumption of the personality and mentality of the new form must bechecked daily until the change takes place. (Note that all creaturesgenerally prefer their own form and will not willingly stand the risk ofbeing subjected to this spell!) If a one hit die orc of 8 intelligence ispolymorphed into a white dragon with 6 hit dice, for example, it is 85%(100% - [5% X 8 intelligence] + [(6 - 1) X 5%] = 85%) likely to actuallybe<strong>com</strong>e one in all respects, but in any case it will have the dragon'sphysical and mental capabilities; and if it does not assume the personalityand mentality of a white dragon, it will know what it formerly knew aswell. Another example: an 8th level fighter successfully polymorphed intoa blue dragon would know <strong>com</strong>bat with weapons and be able to employthem with prehensile dragon forepaws if the fighter did not take ondragon personality and mentality. However, the new form of thepolymorphed creature may be stronger than it looks, i.e. a mummychanged to a puppy dog would be very tough, or a brontosaurus changedto an ant would be impossible to squash merely from being stepped on bya small creature or even a man-sized one. The magic-user must use adispel magic spell to change the polymorphed creature back to its originalform, and this too requires a "system shock" saving throw. The material<strong>com</strong>ponent of this spell is a caterpillar cocoon.Polymorph Self (Alteration)Level: 4Range: 0Duration: 2 turns/levelArea of Effect: The magic-userMAGIC-USER SPELLS (4TH LEVEL)Components: VCasting Time: 3 segmentsSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able toassume the form of any creature - from as small as a wren to as large as ahippopotomus - and its form of lo<strong>com</strong>otion as well. The spell does notgive the other abilities (attack, magic, etc.), nor does it run the risk ofchanging personality and mentality. No "system shock" check is required.Thus, a magic-user changed to an owl could fly, but his or her vision wouldbe human; a change to a black pudding would enable movement underdoors or along halls and ceilings, but not the pudding's offensive ordefensive capabilities. Naturally, the strength of the new form must besufficient to allow normal movement. The spell caster can change his orher form as often as desired, the change requiring only 5 segments.Damage to the polymorphed form is <strong>com</strong>puted as if it were inflicted uponthe magic-user, but when the magic-user returns to his or her own form,from 1 to 12 (d12) points of damage are restored.Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer (Alteration)Level: 4Range: 0Duration: 1 dayArea of Effect: The magic-userComponents: V, S, MCasting Time: I turnSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: By means of this spell the mogic-user is able tomemorize, or retain the memory of, three additional spell levels, i.e. threespells of the first level, or one first and one second, or one third level spell.The magic-user can elect to immediately memorize additional spells or heor she may opt to retain memory of a spell cast by means of the Enhancer.The material <strong>com</strong>ponents of the spell are a piece of string, an ivory plaqueof at least 100 g.p. value, and an ink <strong>com</strong>posed of squid secretion andeither black dragon's blood or giant slug digestive juice. All <strong>com</strong>ponentsdisappear when the spell is cast.Remove Curse (Abjuration) ReversibleLevel: 4Range: TouchDuration: PermanentArea of Effect: SpecialComponents: V, SCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: SpecialExplanation/Description: Except as noted above, this spell is the same asthe third level cleric spell, remove curse (q.v.).Wall Of Fire (Evocation)Level: 4Range: 6"Duration: SpecialArea of Effect: SpecialComponents: V, S, MCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: This spell differs from the fifth level druid spell,wall of fire (q.v.) only as indicated above and as stated below: the flamecolor is either violet or reddish blue, base damage is 2-12 hit points (plus 1hit point per level), the radius of the ring-shaped wall of fire is 1" + 1/4"per level of experience of the magic user casting it, and the material<strong>com</strong>ponent of the spell is phosphorus.Wall Of Ice (Evocation)Level: 4Range: l"/levelDuration: 1 turn/levelArea of Effect: SpecialComponents: V, S, MCasting Time: 4 segmentsSaving Throw: NoneExplanation/Description: When this spell is cast, a sheet of strong, flexibleice is created. The wall is primarily defensive, stopping pursuers and thelike. The wall is one inch thick per level of experience of the magic-user. Itcovers a 1" square area per level, i.e. a 10th level magic-user would causea wall of ice up to 10" long and 1" high, or 5" long and 2" high, and soforth. Any creature breaking through the ice will suffer 2 hit points of78
