Flay
Evocation
Level: Clr 4, Sor/Wiz4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Target: 1 creature

Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell was originally created by the clergy of Polshoath
merely as a means of bringing their goddess’ gift of pain to
others, but other drow soon learned of the potential of the
spell for uses both in combat and in interrogation.
If the spellcaster hits the target with a ranged touch attack,
flay strips away the skin of its victim one layer at a time.
This causes only 1d8 hit points of damage per round, but
the process is so exquisitely painful that the victim of the
spell must make a Fortitude saving throw every round or
be unable to take any action at all that round, immobilised
by the agony. There is no saving throw against the spell’s
damage. The damage from this spell may be healed
normally, and it may be dropped by the caster at any time.
Material Component: A small razor.

Effect: 10 ft. cube/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Initially developed as a means of keeping the air in drow
cities clean and breathable, freshen air was later discovered
to have other uses as well. This spell removes all harmful
gasses from the air in its area of effect, rendering it clean
and safe to breathe. Additionally, it removes all airborne
poisons and diseases in the area of effect. It has no effect
on any magical poisons or diseases.
Maw of the Earth
Evocation (Earth)
Level: Clr 7, Sor/Wiz 6
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: 10 ft. square area of a passageway per 2 levels of
caster
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: No
This spell is designed to be cast on enemies inside an
underground passage, of which there is no lack in the
Underdeep. It will work equally well in a tunnel of rough
stone or a corridor of finely-carved rock, so long as both
floor and ceiling are made of stone. Maw of the earth
causes stalactites and stalagmites to grow from the roof
and floor of the passageway, crushing the spellcaster’s
enemies between them like the jaws of a gigantic beast.
All creatures in the affected area take 1d6 damage per level
of the caster (maximum 15d6), with a Reflex save for half
damage.
Material Component: The tip of a stalactite or stalagmite.
Mirror Allies
Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/2 levels
This more powerful variant of mirror image allows
the created doubles to engage in combat alongside the
spellcaster. Mirror allies creates one duplicate of the
spellcaster for every four levels he possesses (maximum
five). These figments separate from the spellcaster and
remain in a cluster, each within five feet of at least one
other figment or the spellcaster. When the spellcaster and
the mirror allies separate, observers cannot use vision or
hearing to tell which is the spellcaster and which are the
mirror allies.
The mirror allies may fight alongside the spellcaster,
mimicking his actions. They may not cast spells, nor
may they use magic items, though they will appear to do
so. If the spellcaster engages in a melee attack against an
opponent, however, the mirror allies will strike at that same
