The subject
and all its gear become insubstantial, misty, and translucent. Its material
armor (including natural armor) becomes worthless, though its size, Dexterity,
deflection bonuses, and armor bonuses from force effects still apply. The
subject gains damage reduction 10/magic and becomes immune to poison and
critical hits. It can’t attack or cast spells with verbal, somatic, material,
or focus components while in gaseous form. (This does not rule out the use of
certain spells that the subject may have prepared using the feats Silent Spell,
Still Spell, and Eschew Materials.) The subject also loses supernatural
abilities while in gaseous form. If it has a touch spell ready to use, that
spell is discharged harmlessly when the gaseous form spell takes effect.
A gaseous
creature can’t run, but it can fly at a speed of 10 feet (maneuverability
perfect). It can pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks,
with all it was wearing or holding in its hands, as long as the spell persists.
The creature is subject to the effects of wind, and it can’t enter water or
other liquid. It also can’t manipulate objects or activate items, even those
carried along with its gaseous form. Continuously active items remain active,
though in some cases their effects may be moot.

Spell
Resistance: No
Casting a gate
spell has two effects. First, it creates an interdimensional connection
between your plane of existence and a plane you specify, allowing travel
between those two planes in either direction.
Second, you
may then call a particular individual or kind of being through the gate.
The gate itself
is a circular hoop or disk from 5 to 20 feet in diameter (caster’s choice),
oriented in the direction you desire when it comes into existence (typically
vertical and facing you). It is a two-dimensional window looking into the plane
you specified when casting the spell, and anyone or anything that moves through
is shunted instantly to the other side.
A gate has
a front and a back. Creatures moving through the gate from the front are
transported to the other plane; creatures moving through it from the back are
not.
Planar
Travel: As a mode of
planar travel, a gate spell functions much like a plane shift spell,
except that the gate opens precisely at the point you desire (a creation
effect). Deities and other beings who rule a planar realm can prevent a gate
from opening in their presence or personal demesnes if they so desire.
Travelers need not join hands with you—anyone who chooses to step through the
portal is transported. A gate cannot be opened to another point on the
same plane; the spell works only for interplanar travel.
You may hold
the gate open only for a brief time (no more than 1 round per caster
level), and you must concentrate on doing so, or else the interplanar
connection is severed.
Calling
Creatures: The
second effect of the gate spell is to call an extraplanar creature to
your aid (a calling effect). By naming a particular being or kind of being as
you cast the spell, you cause the gate to open in the immediate vicinity
of the desired creature and pull the subject through, willing or unwilling.
Deities and unique beings are under no compulsion to come through the gate, although
they may choose to do so of their own accord. This use of the spell creates a gate
that remains open just long enough to transport the called creatures. This
use of the spell has an XP cost (see below).
If you
choose to call a kind of creature instead of a known individual you may call
either a single creature (of any HD) or several creatures. You can call and
control several creatures as long as their HD total does not exceed your caster
level. In the case of a single creature, you can control it if its HD do not
exceed twice your caster level. A single creature with more HD than twice your
caster level can’t be controlled. Deities and unique beings cannot be
controlled in any event. An uncontrolled being acts as it pleases, making the
calling of such creatures rather dangerous. An uncontrolled being may return to
its home plane at any time.
A controlled
creature can be commanded to perform a service for you. Such services fall into
two categories: immediate tasks and contractual service. Fighting for you in a
single battle or taking any other actions that can be accomplished within 1
round per caster level counts as an immediate task; you need not make any
agreement or pay any reward for the creature’s help. The creature departs at
the end of the spell.
If you
choose to exact a longer or more involved form of service from a called
creature, you must offer some fair trade in return for that service. The
service exacted must be reasonable with respect to the promised favor or
reward; see the lesser planar ally spell for appropriate rewards. (Some
creatures may want their payment in “livestock” rather than in coin, which
could involve complications.) Immediately upon completion of the service, the
being is transported to your vicinity, and you must then and there turn over
the promised reward. After this is done, the creature is instantly freed to
return to its own plane.
Failure to
fulfill the promise to the letter results in your being subjected to service by
the creature or by its liege and master, at the very least. At worst, the
creature or its kin may attack you.
Note: When you use a calling spell such as gate
to call an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water
creature, it becomes a spell of that type.
XP Cost: 1,000 XP (only for the calling
creatures function).
Geas/Quest
Enchantment
(Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Brd 6, Clr 6, Sor/Wiz 6
Casting
Time: 10 minutes
Target: One living creature
Saving
Throw: None
This spell
functions similarly to lesser geas, except that it affects a creature of
any HD and allows no saving throw.
Instead of
taking penalties to ability scores (as with lesser geas), the subject
takes 3d6 points of damage each day it does not attempt to follow the geas/quest.
Additionally, each day it must make a Fortitude saving throw or become
sickened. These effects end 24 hours after the creature attempts to resume the geas/
quest.
A remove
curse spell ends a geas/quest spell only if its caster level is at
least two higher than your caster level. Break enchantment does not end
a geas/quest, but limited wish, miracle, and wish do.
Bards,
sorcerers, and wizards usually refer to this spell as geas, while
clerics call the same spell quest.

Saving
Throw: Will negates
Spell
Resistance: Yes
A lesser
geas places a magical command on a creature to carry out some service or to
refrain from some action or course of activity, as desired by you. The creature
must have 7 or fewer Hit Dice and be able to understand you. While a geas cannot
compel a creature to kill itself or perform acts that would result in certain
death, it can cause almost any other course of activity.
The geased
creature must follow the given instructions until the geas is
completed, no matter how long it takes.
If the
instructions involve some open-ended task that the recipient cannot complete
through his own actions the spell remains in effect for a maximum of one day
per caster level. A clever recipient can subvert some instructions:
If the
subject is prevented from obeying the lesser geas for 24 hours, it takes
a –2 penalty to each of its ability scores. Each day, another –2 penalty
accumulates, up to a total of –8. No ability score can be reduced to less than
1 by this effect. The ability score penalties are removed 24 hours after the
subject resumes obeying the lesser geas.
A lesser
geas (and all ability score penalties) can be ended by break enchantment,
limited wish, remove curse, miracle, or wish. Dispel
magic does not affect a lesser geas.

The spellcaster creates a

are very small, very minor planes.
A character can only cast this spell while on the Ethereal Plane. When
he or she casts the spell, a local density fluctuation precipitates the
creation of a demiplane. At first, the fledgling plane grows at a rate of 1
foot in radius per day to an initial maximum radius of 180 feet as it rapidly
draws substance from surrounding ethereal vapors and protomatter.
The spellcaster determines the environment within the demiplane when he
or she first casts genesis, reflecting most any desire the spellcaster

Ghost
sound allows you to
create a volume of sound that rises, recedes, approaches, or remains at a fixed
place. You choose what type of sound ghost sound creates when casting it
and cannot thereafter change the sound’s basic character.
The volume
of sound created depends on your level. You can produce as much noise as four
normal humans per caster level (maximum twenty humans). Thus, talking, singing,
shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost
sound spell produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume
limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans
running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from sixteen humans,
while a roaring dire tiger is equal to the noise from twenty humans.
Ghost
sound can enhance
the effectiveness of a silent image spell.
Ghost
sound can be made
permanent with a permanency spell.

grown depends on your level; see the table below.
Any giant
vermin created by this spell do not attempt to harm you, but your control of
such creatures is limited to simple commands (“Attack,” “Defend,” “Stop,” and
so forth). Orders to attack a certain creature when it appears or guard against
a particular occurrence are too complex for the vermin to understand. Unless
commanded to do otherwise, the giant vermin attack whoever or whatever is near
them.

If a magical
effect is used against you that would detect your lies or force you to speak
the truth the user of the effect must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 +
caster level) against a DC of 15 + your caster level to succeed. Failure means

An immobile,
faintly shimmering magical sphere surrounds you and excludes all spell effects
of 3rd level or lower. The area or effect of any such spells does not include
the area of the lesser globe of invulnerability. Such spells fail to
affect any target located within the globe. Excluded effects include spell-like
abilities and spells or spell-like effects from items. However, any type of
spell can be cast through or out of the magical globe. Spells of 4th level and
higher are not affected by the globe, nor are spells already in effect when the
globe is cast. The globe can be brought down by a targeted dispel magic spell,
but not by an area dispel magic. You can leave and return to the globe
without penalty.
Note that
spell effects are not disrupted unless their effects enter the globe, and even
then they are merely suppressed, not dispelled.
If a given
spell has more than one level depending on which character class is casting it,
use the level appropriate to the caster to determine whether lesser globe of
invulnerability stops it.

(object) and Yes; see text
This
powerful inscription harms those who enter, pass, or open the warded area or
object. A glyph of warding can guard a bridge or passage, ward a portal,
trap a chest or box, and so on.
You set the
conditions of the ward. Typically, any creature entering the warded area or
opening the warded object without speaking a password (which you set when
casting the spell) is subject to the magic it stores. Alternatively or in
addition to a password trigger, glyphs can be set according to physical
characteristics (such as height or weight) or creature type, subtype, or kind. Glyphs
can also be set with respect to good, evil, law, or chaos, or to pass those
of your religion. They cannot be set according to class, Hit Dice, or level. Glyphs
respond to invisible creatures normally but are not triggered by those who
travel past them ethereally. Multiple glyphs cannot be cast on the same
area. However, if a cabinet has three drawers, each can be separately warded.
When casting
the spell, you weave a tracery of faintly glowing lines around the warding
sigil. A glyph can be placed to conform to any shape up to the
limitations of your total square footage. When the spell is completed, the glyph
and tracery become nearly invisible.
Glyphs cannot be affected or bypassed by
such means as physical or magical probing, though they can be dispelled. Mislead,
polymorph, and nondetection (and similar magical effects) can
fool a glyph, though nonmagical disguises and the like can’t. Read
magic allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a DC 13
Spellcraft check. Identifying the glyph does not discharge it and allows
you to know the basic nature of the glyph (version, type of damage
caused, what spell is stored).
Note: Magic traps such as glyph of
warding are hard to detect and disable. A rogue (only) can use the Search
skill to find the glyph and Disable Device to thwart it. The DC in each
case is 25 + spell level, or 28 for glyph of warding.
Depending on
the version selected, a glyph either blasts the intruder or activates a
spell.
Blast
Glyph: A blast
glyph deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to the
intruder and to all within 5 feet of him or her. This damage is acid, cold,
fire, electricity, or sonic (caster’s choice, made at time of casting). Each
creature affected can attempt a Reflex save to take half damage. Spell
resistance applies against this effect.
Spell
Glyph: You can store
any harmful spell of 3rd level or lower that you know. All level-dependent
features of the spell are based on your caster level at the time of casting the
glyph. If the spell has a target, it targets the intruder. If the spell
has an area or an amorphous effect the area or effect is centered on the
intruder. If the spell summons creatures, they appear as close as possible to
the intruder and attack. Saving throws and spell resistance operate as normal,
except that the DC is based on the level of the spell stored in the glyph.
Material
Component: You trace
the glyph with incense, which must first be sprinkled with powdered
diamond worth at least 200 gp.
Glyph of Warding, Greater
Abjuration

Grasping Hand
Evocation
[Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 7, Strength 7
Components: V, S, F/DF
This spell
functions like interposing hand, except the hand can also grapple one
opponent that you select. The grasping hand gets one grapple attack per
round.
Its attack bonus
to make contact equals your caster level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or
Charisma modifier (for wizards, clerics, and sorcerers, respectively), +10 for
the hand’s Strength score (31), –1 for being Large. Its grapple bonus is this
same figure, except with a +4 modifier for being Large instead of –1. The hand
holds but does not harm creatures it grapples.
Directing
the spell to a new target is a move action.
The grasping
hand can also bull rush an opponent as forceful hand does, but at a
+16 bonus on the Strength check (+10 for Strength 35, +4 for being Large, and a
+2 bonus for charging, which it always gets), or interpose itself as interposing
hand does.

A grease spell
covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the
area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This
save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the
area. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal
speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and
must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it
falls (see the Balance skill for details).
The spell
can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in
use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a
creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial
saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw
must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased
item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10
circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist
or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.

This
powerful spell is primarily used to defend your stronghold. The ward protects
200 square feet per caster level. The warded area can be as much as 20 feet
high, and shaped as you desire. You can ward several stories of a stronghold by
dividing the area among them; you must be somewhere within the area to be
warded to cast the spell. The spell creates the following magical effects
within the warded area.
Fog: Fog fills all corridors, obscuring
all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has
concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total
concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the
target). Saving Throw: None. Spell Resistance: No.
Arcane
Locks: All doors in
the warded area are arcane locked. Saving Throw: None. Spell Resistance:
No.
Webs: Webs fill all stairs from top to
bottom. These strands are identical with those created by the web spell,
except that they regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while the
guards and wards spell lasts. Saving Throw: Reflex negates; see text for
web. Spell Resistance: No.
Confusion:
Where there are
choices in direction—such as a corridor intersection or side passage—a minor confusion-type
effect functions so as to make it 50% probable that intruders believe they are
going in the opposite direction from the one they actually chose. This is an
enchantment, mind-affecting effect. Saving Throw: None. Spell Resistance: Yes.
Lost
Doors: One door per
caster level is covered by a silent image to appear as if it were a
plain wall. Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with). Spell
Resistance: No.
In addition,
you can place your choice of one of the following five magical effects.
1. Dancing
lights in four corridors. You can designate a simple program that causes
the lights to repeat as long as the guards and wards spell lasts. Saving
Throw: None. Spell Resistance: No.
2. A magic
mouth in two places. Saving Throw: None. Spell Resistance: No.
3. A stinking
cloud in two places. The vapors appear in the places you designate; they
return within 10 minutes if dispersed by wind while the guards and wards spell
lasts. Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; see text for stinking cloud. Spell
Resistance: No.
4. A gust
of wind in one corridor or room. Saving Throw: Fortitude negates. Spell
Resistance: Yes.
5. A suggestion
in one place. You select an area of up to 5 feet square, and any creature
who enters or passes through the area receives the suggestion mentally.
Saving Throw: Will negates. Spell Resistance: Yes.
The whole
warded area radiates strong magic of the abjuration school. A dispel magic cast
on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect. A successful Mage’s
disjunction destroys the entire guards and wards effect.

A Tiny or
smaller creature on the ground is knocked down and rolled 1d4x10 feet, taking
1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet. If flying, a Tiny or smaller

to battering and buffeting.
Small
creatures are knocked prone by the force of the wind, or if flying are blown
back 1d6x10 feet.
Medium
creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the wind, or if
flying are blown back 1d6x5 feet.
Large or

Any
creature, regardless of size, takes a –4 penalty on ranged attacks and Listen
checks in the area of a gust of wind.
The force of
the gust automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar
unprotected flames. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to
dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish those lights.
In addition
to the effects noted, a gust of wind can do anything that a sudden blast
of wind would be expected to do. It can create a stinging spray of sand or dust,
fan a large fire, overturn delicate awnings or hangings, heel over a small
boat, and blow gases or vapors to the edge of its range.
Gust of
wind can be made
permanent with a permanency spell.
