Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: 2-foot-radius sphere
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
You conjure a featureless black sphere of nothingness that disintegrates
almost anything it touches. It flies at up to 30 feet
per round and attacks the creature or object you indicate. You
must succeed at a ranged touch attack to strike a creature with
the sphere. The sphere stops
moving for the round when you
make an attack on a creature or
object. You must actively direct
the sphere on your action to
move it to a new target; this requires
a move-equivalent action
on your part. The sphere winks
out if it exceeds the spell’s range.
If the sphere ends its movement
in a square occupied by a
creature or object, the target
must succeed at a Fortitude save
or be subject to a disintegrate
effect. If successful, the creature
or object is only partially affected
and takes 5d6 points of
damage instead. If the sphere is
directed to strike an object or
part of an object, it disintegrates
the 5-foot cube it occupies.
The sphere may destroy one
creature, object, or 5-foot cube of
matter per round, provided it is
directed to a suitable target.
The sphere of ultimate destruction
counts as a disintegrate
spell for the purpose of destroying
a wall of force (or any other
spell or effect specifically affected by a disintegrate spell).
Material Component: A pinch of dust from a disintegrated
creature.

MAGIC AND SPELLS

The subject gains the ability to see in total darkness, with no
limitation to the range of vision. Terrain, distance, and line
of sight are the only limitations to the subject’s ability to see,
and the normal Spot check penalties apply on attempts to
descry distant or small objects or creatures.
Darkvision is black and white only but otherwise like
normal sight. Superior darkvision does not grant the target
creature the ability to see in magical darkness.
Material Component: A chip of agate.
WATCHWARE
Abjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Effect: Object touched
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You create a mystical connection
with a single inanimate
object. When that
object is damaged, moved,
or touched at any later
time, you are instantly
aware of the fact. If another
creature physically
touches the object, you also
receive a mental image of
the creature, which counts
as firsthand knowledge of
the creature should you
later choose to cast scrying
or a similar spell on that
creature. The watchware
is activated when the item is disturbed for any reason, whether
someone touches it or pokes it with a pole, a cat walks on it,
or an earthquake knocks it over.
The watchware functions only once and is then discharged.
Since its components are expensive, most sorcerers
and wizards reserve watchware to protect valuable, out-of-theway
items.
A watchware is a magical trap. A rogue can find a watchware
with a successful Search check (DC 25 + spell level, or
30 for watchware) and disarm it with a successful Disable
Device check (DC 25 + spell level, or 30 for watchware). You
can designate a password that allows another creature to
handle the object without sounding the mental alarm if you
so choose.
Material Component: A sprinkling of rare sands and
powdered reagents worth at least 500 gp.
