into the fabric of the sky itself. You can tap into this reservoir,called the spellpool, and call spells from this commonresource at need.Calling a Spell: Calling a spell from thespellpool can be done at any distancebut requires you to have anopen, unused spell slot ofthe appropriate level.When preparingspells forthe day, youdecide at that timewhether to leave some spell slots open.You can call only for a spell of alevel that you could normallycast. You can call a numberof spells per day whose totallevels are equal to orless than half your casterlevel (round down, minimumone). For example,a 7th-level cleric/1st-levelskypledged can callone 3rd-level spelland one 1st-levelJantril Sestriin, askypledged initiatespell, or two 2nd-level spells, assuming shehas slots available and isn’t considered apledgebreaker.When you call a spell, you take a full-round action toconcentrate (which does provoke attacks of opportunity).The spell appears in your mind at the beginning of yournext turn and can be used immediately. However, if youdo not cast the called spell within a number of minutesequal to your caster level, it fades from your mind asthough cast.Spell Availability: Three stages of access to the spellpoolexist. A new skypledged gains divine spellpool I privileges,which grants access to spells of 1st to 3rd level.Starting at 4th level, divine spellpool II allows accessto 4th- to 6th-level spells. Starting at 7th level, divinespellpool III grants access to 7th- to 9th-level spells. No0-level spells are available, but the spellpoolcan provide any other spell on thecleric or druid spell list in thePlayer’s Handbook—evencleric spells to a druidor druid spellsto a cleric. Theonly unavailablespellsare thosewith the fire,earth, or waterdescriptor,and those clericspells that appear as domain spells butnot on the main cleric spell list.Spellpool Debt: Every time you calla spell, you incur a debt. To pay this debt,you must return spell power to the spellpool, in the form ofa spell you have prepared of a level equal to that of the calledspell, or a number of spells whose combined levels equal thelevel of the called spell. For instance, the spellpool debt fora 5th-level spell is five levels, which could be paid off withanother 5th-level spell or any combination of spells whoselevels total five. Returning a spell’s power to the spellpool is afull-round action, like calling a spell, and depletes a preparedspell slot as if the spell had been cast.The debt must be repaid within a number of days equalto your skypledged class level; otherwise, you becomea pledgebreaker (see below) and you cannot access thespellpool again until you repay your debt and atone foryour transgression. You must repay this debt as a part ofany atonement for being a pledgebreaker. You can’t buildup a positive balance with the spellpool by paying off a debtbefore incurring it.Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells perday and an increase in caster level (and spells known, ifapplicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divinespellcasting class to which you belonged before adding theprestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other classfeature a character of that class would have gained. If you hadIllus. by J.
