DETECT POISON { divination }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
target or area: one creature, one object, or a 5-ft. cube
duration: instantaneous
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

you determine whether a creature, object, or area has been poisoned or is poisonous. you can determine the exact type of poison with a dc 20 wisdom check. a character with the craft (alchemy) skill may try a dc 20 craft (alchemy) check if the wisdom check fails, or may try the craft (alchemy) check prior to the wisdom check. the spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

MAGE HAND { transmutation }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
target: one nonmagical, unattended object weighing up to 5 lb.
duration: concentration
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

you point your finger at an object and can lift it and move it at will from a distance. as a move action, you can propel the object as far as 15 feet in any direction, though the spell ends if the distance between you and the object ever exceeds the spell’s range.

TOUCH OF FATIGUE { necromancy }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: touch
target: creature touched
duration: 1 round/level
saving throw: fortitude negates
spell resistance: yes

you channel negative energy through your touch, fatiguing the target. you must succeed on a touch attack to strike a target. the subject is immediately fatigued for the spell’s duration. this spell has no effect on a creature that is already fatigued. unlike with normal fatigue, the effect ends as soon as the spell’s duration expires.

CHARM PERSON { enchantment }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: close (40 ft.)
target: one humanoid creature
duration: 6 hour
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

this charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally. if the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw. the spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. you can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (retries are not allowed). an affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but a charmed fighter, for example, might believe you if you assured him that the only chance to save your life is for him to hold back an onrushing red dragon for "just a few seconds". any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. you must speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

COLOR SPRAY { illusion }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: 15 ft.
area: cone-shaped burst
duration: instantaneous; see text
saving Throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

a vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious. each creature within the cone is affected according to its hit dice.

2 hd or less: the creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (only living creatures are knocked unconscious). sightless creatures are not affected by color spray.

3 or 4 hd: the creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.

5 or more hd: the creature is stunned for 1 round.

COMPREHEND LANGUAGES { divination }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: personal
target: you
duration: 60 min.

you can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages. in either case, you must touch the creature or the writing. the ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. the spell enables you to understand or read an unknown language, not speak or write it. written material can be read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. magical writing cannot be read, though the spell reveals that it is magical, but comprehend languages is often useful when deciphering treasure maps. this spell can be foiled by certain warding magic (such as the secret page and illusory script spells). it does not decipher codes or reveal messages concealed in otherwise normal text.

DETECT SECRET DOORS { divination }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: 60 ft.
area: cone-shaped emanation
duration: concentration, up to 6 min. (d)
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

you can detect secret doors, compartments, caches, and so forth. only passages, doors, or openings that have been specifically constructed to escape detection are detected by this spell—an ordinary trapdoor underneath a pile of crates would not be detected. the amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.

first round: presence or absence of secret doors.

second round: number of secret doors and the location of each. if an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

each additional round: the mechanism or trigger for one particular secret portal closely examined by you.

DISGUISE SELF { illusion }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: personal
target: you
duration: 60 min. (d)

you make yourself -- including clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment -- look different. you can seem 1 foot shorter or taller, thin, fat, or in between. you cannot change your body type. for example, a human caster could look human, humanoid, or like any other human-shaped bipedal creature. otherwise, the extent of the apparent change is up to you. you could add or obscure a minor feature such as a mole or a beard, or look like an entirely different person. the spell does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen form, nor does it alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of you or your equipment. a battle axe made to look like a dagger still functions as a battle axe. if you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on the disguise check. a creature that interacts with the glamour gets a will save to recognize it as an illusion. for example, a creature that touched you and realized that the tactile sensation did not match the visual one would be entitled to such a save.

EXPEDITIOUS RETREAT { transmutation }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: personal
target: you
duration: 6 min. (d)

this spell increases your base land speed by 30 feet. (this adjustment is treated as an enhancement bonus.) there is no effect on other modes of movement, such as burrow, climb, fly, or swim. as with any effect that increases your speed, this spell affects your jumping distance.

HYPNOTISM { enchantment }

casting time: 1 round
range: close (40 ft.)
area: several living creatures, no two of which may be more than 30 ft. apart
duration: 2d4 rounds (d)
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

your gestures and droning incantation fascinate nearby creatures, causing them to stop and stare blankly at you. in addition, you can use their rapt attention to make your suggestions and requests seem more plausible. roll 2d4 to see how many total hit dice of creatures you affect. creatures with fewer hd are affected before creatures with more hd. only creatures that can see or hear you are affected, but they do not need to understand you to be fascinated. if you use this spell in combat, each target gains a +2 bonus on its saving throw. if the spell affects only a single creature not in combat at the time, the saving throw has a penalty of -2. while the subject is fascinated by this spell, it reacts as though it were two steps more friendly in attitude. this allows you to make a single request of the affected creature (provided you can communicate with it). the request must be brief and reasonable. even after the spell ends, the creature retains its new attitude toward you, but only with respect to that particular request. a creature that fails its saving throw does not remember that you enspelled it.

MAGE ARMOR { conjuration }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: touch
target: creature touched
duration: 6 hour (d)
saving throw: will negates (harmless)
spell resistance: no

an invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject of a mage armor spell, providing a +4 armor bonus to ac. unlike mundane armor, mage armor entails no armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, or speed reduction. since mage armor is made of force, incorporeal creatures can’t bypass it the way they do normal armor.

OBSCURING MIST { conjuration }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: 20 ft.
effect: cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius from you, 20 ft. high
duration: 6 min.
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

a misty vapor arises around you. it is stationary once created. The vapor obscures all sight, including dark-vision, beyond 5 feet. a creature 5 feet away 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). a moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the fog in 4 rounds. a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. a fireball, flame strike, or similar spell burns away the fog in the explosive or fiery spell's area. a wall of fire burns away the fog in the area into which it deals damage. this spell does not function underwater.

ROUSE { enchantment }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: close (40 ft.)
area: 10-ft.-radius burst
duration: instantaneous
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

with a loud snap of your fingers, you cause any sleeping creatures in the spell's area to awaken. this spell has no effect on creatures that are unconscious due to being reduced to negative hit points, or that have taken nonlethal damage in excess of their current hit points.

SILENT IMAGE { illusion }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: long (640 ft.)
effect: visual figment that cannot extend beyond four 10-ft. cubes + six 10-ft. cubes (s)
duration: concentration
saving throw: will disbelief (if interacted with)
spell resistance: no

this spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as visualized by you. the illusion does not create sound, smell, texture, or temperature. you can move the image within the limits of the size of the effect.

SLEEP { enchantment }

casting time: 1 round
range: medium (160 ft.)
area: one or more living creatures within a 10-ft.-radius burst
duration: 6 min.
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

a sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 hit dice of creatures. creatures with the fewest hd are affected first. among creatures with equal hd, those who are closest to the spell's point of origin are affected first. hit dice that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.

for example, mialee casts sleep at one rat (1/4 hd), one kobold (1 hd), two gnolls (2 hd), and an ogre (4 hd). the rat, the kobold, and one gnoll are affected (1/4 + 1 + 2 = 3-1/4 hd). the remaining 3/4 hd is not enough to affect the last gnoll or the ogre. mialee can't choose to have sleep affect the ogre or the two gnolls.

sleeping creatures are helpless. slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action). sleep does not target unconscious creatures, constructs, or undead creatures.

WHELM { enchantment }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: close (40 ft.)
target: one living creature
duration: instantaneous
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

you thrust one arm forward toward your foe, palm open and fingers splayed. the creature reels as an invisible surge of power invades its mind. you launch a magical assault that wears at the target's mind, dealing 1d6 points of nonlethal damage if it fails its saving throw. for every two caster levels beyond 1st, you deal an extra 1d6 points of nonlethal damage to the subject, to a maximum of 5d6 at 9th level.

ARCANE SIGHT { divination }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: personal
target: you
duration: 6 min. (d)

this spell makes your eyes glow blue and allows you to see magical auras within 120 feet of you. the effect is similar to that of a detect magic spell, but arcane sight does not require concentration and discerns aura location and power more quickly. you know the location and power of all magical auras within your sight. an aura’s power depends on a spell’s functioning level or an item’s caster level, as noted in the description of the detect magic spell. if the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (make one check per aura; dc 15 + spell level, or 15 + one-half caster level for a nonspell effect.) if you concentrate on a specific creature within 120 feet of you as a standard action, you can determine whether it has any spellcasting or spell-like abilities, whether these are arcane or divine (spell-like abilities register as arcane), and the strength of the most powerful spell or spell-like ability the creature currently has available for use. arcane sight can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

CLAIRAUDIENCE/CLAIRVOYANCE { divination }

casting time: 10 minutes
range: long (640 ft.)
effect: magical sensor
duration: 6 min. (d)
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

clairaudience/clairvoyance creates an invisible magical sensor at a specific location that enables you to hear or see (your choice) almost as if you were there. you don’t need line of sight or line of effect, but the locale must be known -- a place familiar to you or an obvious one. once you have selected the locale, the sensor doesn’t move, but you can rotate it in all directions to view the area as desired. unlike other scrying spells, this spell does not allow magically or supernaturally enhanced senses to work through it. if the chosen locale is magically dark, you see nothing. if it is naturally pitch black, you can see in a 10-foot radius around the center of the spell’s effect. clairaudience/clairvoyance functions only on the plane of existence you are currently occupying.

CROWN OF VEILS { illusion }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: touch
target: creature touched
duration: 6 hour (d) or until discharged
saving throw: will negates (harmless)
spell resistance: yes (harmless)

a shimmering halo of energy surrounds the target’s head like a crown. it flashes a spectrum of colors before fading away. this spell creates a magic crown infused with illusion magic. the spell’s recipient gains a +2 competence bonus on disguise and hide checks. as an immediate action, the creature wearing the crown of veils can discharge its magic to gain a +8 competence bonus on a single disguise or hide check. the spell ends after the wearer uses the crown in this manner. the crown occupies space on the body as a headband, hat, or helm. if the crown is removed, the spell immediately ends.

DEEP SLUMBER { enchantment }

casting time: 1 round
range: close (40 ft.)
area: one or more living creatures within a 10-ft.-radius burst
duration: 6 min.
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

this spell functions like sleep, except that it affects 10 hd of creatures.

DISPEL MAGIC { abjuration }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: medium (160 ft.)
target or area: one spellcaster, creature, or object; or 20-ft.-radius burst
duration: instantaneous
saving throw: none
spell resistance: no

you can use dispel magic to end ongoing spells that have been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, to end ongoing spells (or at least their effects) within an area, or to counter another spellcaster’s spell. a dispelled spell ends as if its duration had expired. some spells, as detailed in their descriptions, can’t be defeated by dispel magic. dispel magic can dispel (but not counter) spell-like effects just as it does spells. (the effect of a spell with an instantaneous duration can’t be dispelled, because the magical effect is already over before the dispel magic can take effect.)y ou choose to use dispel magic in one of three ways: a targeted dispel, an area dispel, or a counterspell:

targeted dispel: one object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make a dispel check (1d20 + your caster level, maximum +10) against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. the dc for this dispel check is 11 + the spell’s caster level. if you succeed on a particular check, that spell is dispelled; if you fail, that spell remains in effect. if you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by monster summoning), you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature. of the object that you target is a magic item, you make a dispel check against the item’s caster level. if you succeed, all the item’s magical properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers on its own. a suppressed item becomes non-magical for the duration of the effect. an interdimensional interface (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily closed. a magic item’s physical properties are unchanged: a suppressed magic sword is still a sword (a masterwork sword, in fact). artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this. you automatically succeed on your dispel check against any spell that you cast yourself.

area dispel: when dispel magic is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot radius. for each creature within the area that is the subject of one or more spells, you make a dispel check against the spell with the highest caster level. if that check fails, you make dispel checks against progressively weaker spells until you dispel one spell (which discharges the dispel magic spell so far as that target is concerned) or until you fail all your checks. the creature’s magic items are not affected. for each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, you make dispel checks as with creatures. magic items are not affected by an area dispel. for each ongoing area or effect spell whose point of origin is within the area of the dispel magic spell, you can make a dispel check to dispel the spell. for each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the dispel magic spell, you can make a dispel check to end the effect, but only within the overlapping area. if an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by monster summoning) is in the area, you can make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel spells targeting the creature or object. you may choose to automatically succeed on dispel checks against any spell that you have cast.

counterspell: when dispel magic is used in this way, the spell targets a spellcaster and is cast as a counterspell. unlike a true counterspell, however, dispel magic may not work; you must make a dispel check to counter the other spellcaster’s spell.

DISPLACEMENT { illusion }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: touch
target: creature touched
duration: 6 rounds (d)
saving throw: will negates (harmless)
spell resistance: yes (harmless)

the subject of this spell appears to be about 2 feet away from its true location. the creature benefits from a 50% miss chance as if it had total concealment. however, unlike actual total concealment, displacement does not prevent enemies from targeting the creature normally. true seeing reveals its true location.

GLIBNESS { transmutation }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: personal
target: you
duration: 60 min. (d)

your speech becomes fluent and more believable. you gain a +30 bonus on bluff checks made to convince another of the truth of your words. (this bonus doesn’t apply to other uses of the bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo.) 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 the effect does not detect your lies or force you to speak only the truth.

HALT { transmutation }

casting time: 1 immediate action
range: close (40 ft.)
target: one creature
duration: 1 round
saving throw: will negates
spell resistance: yes

you utter the word "HALT!" and, in that instant, the creature’s feet stick to the floor. the subject creature’s feet (or whatever pass for its feet) become momentarily stuck to the floor. the creature must stop moving, and cannot move farther in its current turn. this spell has no effect on creatures that are not touching the ground (such as flying creatures), and the subject can still use a standard action (if it has one available in this round) to move by means of teleportation magic. you can cast this spell even when it’s not your turn; however, you must cast it before your opponent finishes its movement on its current turn to gain the benefit.

HASTE { transmutation }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: Close (40 ft.)
targets: six creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
duration: 6 rounds
saving throw: fortitude negates (harmless)
spell resistance: yes (harmless)

the transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. this extra speed has several effects: when making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. the attack is made using the creature’s full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (this effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a weapon of speed, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can’t use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)a hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to ac and reflex saves. any condition that makes you lose your dexterity bonus to armor class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. all of the hasted creature’s modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject’s normal speed using that form of movement. this increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for increased speed. multiple haste effects don’t stack. haste dispels and counters slow.

HESITATE { enchantment }

casting time: 1 immediate action
range: close (40 ft.)
target: one living creature
duration: 1 round/level (d); see text
saving throw: will negates; see text
spell resistance: yes

in the eyes of your enemy, you seem large, powerful, and indomitable. you fill a subject with doubts and misgivings, making it believe it is inferior to you. on a failed save, the subject can take no action other than a move action on its current turn. hesitate confers no special bonuses for attackers attempting to hit the subject; the subject still defends itself. if you attack the affected creature, the spell ends immediately. each round, as a swift action at the start of its turn, the subject can attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. if the save succeeds, the subject can then act normally. you can cast this spell even when it’s not your turn; however, you must cast it at the start of your opponent’s turn to gain the benefit.

HOLD PERSON { enchantment }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: medium (160 ft.)
target: one humanoid creature
duration: 6 rounds (d); see text
saving throw: will negates; see text
spell resistance: yes

the subject becomes paralyzed and freezes in place. it is aware and breathes normally but cannot take any actions, even speech. each round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. (this is a full-round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.) a winged creature who is paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls. a swimmer can’t swim and may drown.

INEVITABLE DEFEAT { enchantment }

casting time: 1 standard action
range: touch
target: one creature
duration: 6 rounds
saving throw: none and will negates; see text
spell resistance: yes

you touch the creature with your hand, and it teeters on the edge of unconsciousness. you draw a cloud over the subject’s mind, dealing 3d6 points of nonlethal damage. no saving throw is allowed against this effect. each round on its turn, the subject must succeed on a will save or take another 3d6 points of nonlethal damage. if the saving throw is successful, the damage for that round is negated and the spell ends.

INVISIBILITY SPHERE { illusion }

area: 10-ft.-radius emanation around the creature or object touched

this spell functions like invisibility, except that this spell confers invisibility upon all creatures within 10 feet of the recipient. the center of the effect is mobile with the recipient. those affected by this spell can see each other and themselves as if unaffected by the spell. any affected creature moving out of the area becomes visible, but creatures moving into the area after the spell is cast do not become invisible. affected creatures (other than the recipient) who attack negate the invisibility only for themselves. if the spell recipient attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
