SEVEN ILLUSIONS

Fool’s Gold

Illusion (Glamer)

Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1

Components: S

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Item touched

Eﬀect: Seemingly turns one item to gold

Duration: 1 hour/level (D)

Saving hrow: Will negates (object)/Will

disbelief (if interacted with)

Spell Resistance: Yes (object)/No

Sometimes used by unscrupulous

wizards, hucksters, and other would-be

conﬁdence men, this spell has the ability to

give any mundane (non-magical) weapon,

armor, or item the appearance of being

crafted from solid gold. Other characters

and creatures receive a saving throw to see

through the illusion if the caster attempts to

use the item as gold in any way. If the save

is failed, the item is believed to be made of

gold with no questions asked. If the save is

successful, the target realizes the true nature

of the item and cannot be fooled again by

a fool’s gold spell for a period of 24-hours,

even if a new spell is cast on a diﬀerent

item.

combat or has less than total cover or total

concealment. Speciﬁc parts of a creature

can’t be singled out. Inanimate objects are

not damaged by the spell.

For every two caster levels beyond 1st,

the caster gains an additional bolt—two

at 3rd level, three at 5th, four at 7th, and

the maximum of ﬁve bolts at 9th level or

higher. If the caster ﬁres multiple bolts, he

can have them strike a single creature or

several creatures. A single bolt can strike

only one creature. he caster must designate

targets before checking for spell resistance

or rolling damage.

Unlike magic missiles , however, the

bolts are only 20% real. While this means

that they can assume any appearance the

caster desires (i.e., small ﬂaming skulls,

pulsing orbs of electricity, globs of acid,

shards of ice, etc.), each target receives a

Will save to resist the damage they inﬂict.

If the save fails, the target suﬀers 1d8 points

of damage per bolt. If the save is successful,

the target only suﬀers 1 point of damage per

bolt.

Bellamy’s Monstrous Musk

Illusion (Glamer)

Level: Drd 1, Sor/Wiz 1

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: One creature/2 levels

Duration: 1 hour/level

Saving hrow: Will disbelief (if interacted

with)

Spell Resistance: Yes

By means of this spell, the caster

imbues each target touched with an odor

that mimics that of another speciﬁc type

of creature, such as. Creatures subjected

to the spell’s eﬀects receive a Will save

to “disbelieve” the smell. Otherwise, the

aﬀected targets are assumed to be creatures

of the type intended (unless other means of

detection besides smell are possible). he

odor mimicked is limited to odors the caster

has personally experienced, although an

approximation can be created from detailed

descriptions or a clever imagination. In

the latter cases, other creatures gain a +2

circumstance bonus is to disbelieve such

invented scents.

Material Component: A drop of

perfume or musk, whose smell is subsumed

by the spell’s eﬀects.

Introduction

he following excerpt is taken

from the pages of Kressmer’s

Eclectic Grimoire of Spells, Arcana ,

and Miscellaneous Enchantments ,

Compiled by the gnome wizard,

Kressmer C. Brownburrows (better

known as “Kressmer the Odd”),

the metal-bound book itself is

a marvelous and disorganized

hodgepodge of missing and hidden

pages, looseleaf parchments, and

hovering sigils, accompanied by

scribbled, almost incomprehensible

margin notes in the old wizard’s

spidery handwriting. he tome has

innumerable pages and grows each

year by another several dozen. he

only known copy of the Eclectic

Grimoire is currently located in

Kressmer’s Tower, somewhere to the

west of the Elyrian capital city of

Gannelel.

For over one hundred years,

Kressmer has collected spells from

the far reaches of Evernor and

created many of his own – becoming

the world’s foremost creator and

curator of unique, unusual, and

sometimes useful spells. What

follows is a small section from that

legendary book.

DM’s Option: Fun with Illusory Bolts

At the DM’s discretion, creatures with

a speciﬁc energy subtype, such as ﬁre

elementals, that fail the initial Will save

against an illusory bolts spell may be required

to make an additional Will save (same DC)

or suﬀer double damage from a bolt that is

perceived to be of an opposite energy type

or a type that preys on the creature’s known

vulnerabilities (i.e., cold). If this secondary

save is successful, however, the creature does

not “believe” the bolts to be of the type they

appear to be and is no longer required to

make saves against illusory bolts spells from

that caster for 24 hours.

Illusory Bolts

Illusion (Shadow)

Level: Sor/Wiz 1

Components: V, S

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./levels)

Targets: Up to ﬁve creatures, no two of

which can be more than 15 ft. apart

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving hrow: Will partial

Spell Resistance: Yes

Bolts of energy seemingly spring from

the caster’s outstretched hands. Like magic

missiles , illusory bolts strike unerringly (since

the caster’s mind determines the ﬂight path

of the bolts), even if the target is in melee

Distraction

Illusion (Phantasm) [Mind-Aﬀecting]

Level: Sor/Wiz 2

Components: V, S

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./level)

Target: One creature

Eﬀect: An image in the target’s peripheral

vision

Duration: One round/level (D)

Saving hrow: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

his spell creates a ﬂeeting image of the

caster’s choosing in the peripheral vision of

the intended target, creating confusion. No

matter which way the target looks or how

rapidly he or she turns the head, the image

is always there. his spell eﬀect inﬂicts a

-4 penalty on all the target’s skill rolls and

attack rolls, but grants a +2 circumstance

bonus to Reﬂex saves due to the target’s

heightened sense for danger.

All speciﬁed targets are suddenly hit by an

image that evokes superstitious terror, most

commonly the image of a black cat suddenly

crossing their path.

For the duration of the spell, any of

those who fail their Will saving throw are

inﬂicted with one of the following “curses”:

• -4 eﬀective decrease to an ability score

(minimum 1).

• -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving

throws, ability checks, and skill checks.

• 50% chance each attack of rolling a 1.

• Panicked (-2 morale penalty on saving

throws and must ﬂee; 50% chance to drop

anything held, chooses random path and

ﬂees any dangers; if cornered, the panicked

creature cowers).

• Nauseated (unable to attack, cast

spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything

else that requires attention; can only take

a single move, or move-equivalent action,

each turn).

he DM may alternately choose what

eﬀects are taken, depending upon the race

and culture of the individual aﬀected. Some

may prostrate themselves in order to try and

avert fate.

Arcane Component: An obsidian ﬁgurine

of a cat, worth at least 100 gp.

shadow puppet moves and acts as the

spellcaster desires, requiring the spellcaster

to maintain concentration upon the image.

To all intents and purposes, the shadow

puppet resembles the spellcaster almost

completely, except for seeming a bit darker

in complexion, as if it was standing in a

shadow.

he shadow puppet can move as far

away from the spellcaster as 400 feet. +

40 feet/level. he spellcaster can see what

the shadow puppet sees, and can speak

through the image, for as long as he

maintains concentration. Once he ceases

to concentrate upon the shadow puppet,

the image slowly fades away, while the

spellcaster’s shadow returns. While fading,

the shadow puppet obeys the last mental

instructions of the spellcaster, until it ﬁnally

disappears entirely.

If the shadow puppet is attacked, a

successful hit will destroy the image. he

shadow puppet’s AC is 10 + size modiﬁer +

a deﬂection bonus equal to the Intelligence

bonus of the spellcaster. If struck, the image

disappears instantly and the spellcaster’s

shadow returns, as normal.

Arcane Component: An obsidian

ﬁgurine.

he speech of the target(s) is instantly

hose listening must make a Will save to

understand what is being said. Willing

targets under the eﬀects of the same

Bellamy’s blathering babble spell are able to

understand each other perfectly, provided

they have a common language. his spell is

a favorite of bards and spellcasters of secret

societies who wish to keep their conﬁdential

dealings more private.

Arcane Focus: A pair of lips from a

gibbering mouther.
