dragon-magic-oef

You create a burst of icy energy that
flash-freezes any creatures within the
spell’s area. The spell deals 1d6 points
of cold damage per caster level (maximum
25d6 points). Any living creature
reduced to –1 or fewer hit points is not
killed, but instead turned to solid ice
(similar to flesh to stone, but with ice
instead of stone). Effectively, the spell
can’t reduce a creature’s hit points
below –9. A successful Fortitude save
halves the damage.
A creature turned to solid ice by this
spell gains hardness 10 as well as immunity
to cold and electricity. However, it
also gains vulnerability to fire, and any
frozen creature reduced to –10 or fewer
hit points by fire damage immediately
melts (and dies). Once this occurs, the
creature can be brought back to life
only with a miracle, true resurrection, or
wish spell.
Special: A character who learns this
spell gains resistance to cold 5, which
stacks with any other resistance to cold
he already possesses.
CALL OF THE
TWILIGHT DEFENDER
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: Druid 6, sorcerer/wizard 6
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One twilight guardian
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The very ground erupts in a shower of stone
and dirt, accompanied by a thunderclap.
Standing in the center of the damaged
ground is a creature of stone, wood, and
plant parts resembling the regal form of a
guardian dragon.
This spell summons one twilight guardian
(see page 121) to fight for you. The
spell functions like a summon nature’s
ally spell, but with one exception. At any
time, a summoned twilight guardian
can sacrifice itself by simply touching
you (a standard action); the twilight
guardian is immediately destroyed, and
you gain a number of hit points equal to
1/2 the twilight guardian’s remaining
hit points before its sacrifice.
Special: A character who learns this
spell gains a +1 competence bonus on
Knowledge (nature) checks.
CHANNEL THE
DRAGON
Transmutation
Level: Wu jen 7 (all)
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You feel the mighty force of elemental
wyrms flood your spirit and reinforce
your body. Your flesh hardens, and your
eyes gleam.
Few creatures represent both the mystic
and the elemental more than dragons.
You tap into the spiritual might of these
magnificent creatures to gain a breath
weapon and a defensive ability based on
your favored element (and the dragon
variety channeled by the spell). See the
table below for details.
The breath weapon takes the form
of a 15-foot cone-shaped burst. Using
the breath weapon requires a standard
action, and each time you breathe, you
must wait 1d4 rounds before breathing
again. Spell resistance does not apply
against the breath weapon’s effect.

CURSE OF THE
ELEMENTAL LORDS
Necromancy
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Medium
(100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature/4 levels
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Ghostly images of elemental beasts fly from
your outstretched arm, striking foes and
placing a shadowy curse upon them.
This spell places a curse on the targets,
making them more susceptible to your
magical attacks. When you cast this
spell, select acid, cold, electricity, or fire;
any creature affected by the spell takes
an extra 1d6 points of damage from any
of your spells that deal damage of that
energy type. The extra damage isn’t
added to other effects, such as a weapon’s
fl amin g special ability, nor does it apply to
damage dealt by other characters.
As part of the casting of this spell,
you can sacrifice one additional sorcerer
spell slot of up to 9th level; doing this
increases the extra damage from the
spell by 1 point per level of the sacrificed
slot. For example, if you spend a 4th-level
spell slot to cast curse of the elemental lords
and a 6th-level spell slot to augment it,
the resulting curse adds 1d6+6 points of
damage to the damage taken by targets
of your spells of the chosen energy
type. Curse of the elemental lords can’t be
dispelled, but it can be removed by any
effect that would remove a curse.
Special: If you are of the dragonblood
subtype (see page 4), the extra damage
from this spell also applies to your
breath weapon (assuming that it deals
the appropriate type of damage).
