Snake Charmer
Schools: Enchantment/Charm
Spheres: Charm
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Casting Time: 1
Components: S
Duration: Special
Range: 10 yds
Saving Throw: Neg.

By staring into a creature's eyes and swaying his or her head back and forth slightly, the caster can hypnotize one creature. The creature is entitled to a saving throw vs. spell. Success means the spell has no effect. Failure means the creature falls under the effects of the snake charm. This spell has no effect on undead creatures of any sort.
While entranced, the affected creature simply stares at the spellcaster and cannot perform any other action. The spell effect ends immediately if the caster performs any other action except moving at no more than half normal movement rate or if the creature is physically shaken or attacked in any manner. A snake charm is not a particularly deep enchantment, hence the subject can respond to any attack in the same round, although always attacking last and performing only a single action if normally allowed multiple actions.

The version of spider climb used by priestesses is a slight improvement over the widely-known wizard's spell.
Bare hands and feet are required, and the affected creature moves at MV 9 (6 if at all encumbered). Movement is silent, unless loose rock, etc. is dislodged. Objects that weigh less than 1 pound will stick to the affected being's hands and feet for the spell duration, making certain types of spellcasting virtually impossible. The effect can be prematurely ended by the caser, by pronunciation of a word (if the affected being is not the caster, the caster must be within a range of 10'/level for the word to have any effect).
Sufficient force will tear a spider climbing being from the surface he is clinging to; the DM must determine what occurs according to the situation.
Unlike the wizardly equivalent of this spell, no material components are required. If the caster is the recipient of the spell, its duration can be (by silent will) stopped and started; i.e., a climber who reaches a ledge can "turn off" the effect and sleep, cast other spells, and engage in other activities, "turning on" the spider climb later in order to climb down.
This option is not available to recipient creatures other than the caster. Such beings must be touched for the caster to transfer the magic to them. This can be done at any time during the life of the spell - i.e. a priest can spider climb for a time, touch another being, and by will transfer the remaining time of the ability to that other being. If a being is unwilling to be affected, a saving throw vs. spell is allowed to negate the effect (this ends the spell immediately).

Scent of Vengeance
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Animal
Area of Effect: The caster
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 days/level
Range: 0
Saving Throw: None

This spell imbues the priest with the ability to unerringly track any living creature who has directly caused insult or injury to a designated being (including the caster). This spell does not allow the tracking of undead creatures, and the name of the being who committed the action must be known for the spell to be effective. This spell can only be cast at the site of the offending insult or injury. The priest can follow the trail across any terrain by following the scent of his foe, even underwater or through the air if he or she can swim or fly.
The only way for the quarry to throw the pursuit from the trail is to teleport, employ a gate, shift to another plane or employ some other, similar form of magical transportation. Even if the quarry employs such forms of magical transportation, the tracking priest can continue to follow the trail until the point of magical departure, at which point the spell ends.
The spell requires a small token once possessed by the quarry and the priest's holy symbol. Neither is consumed in the casting.

Sharpleaf
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 3 leaves/level
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: 5 yds
Saving Throw: None

When cast, this spell causes leaves of any type to become rigid and razor sharp, effectively becoming knives. These sharp leaves can be wielded or thrown, causing ld3 points of damage if a successful attack roll is made.
The leaves can also be crushed and crumpled before the casting, then serving as caltrops doing ld2 points of damage. Three leaves per level of the caster can be affected. If mistletoe is used as the object of the spell, 1 point of additional damage is added.
The material components are leaves and sap from a hardwood tree, which is sprinkled on them.

Slow Poison
(Necromancy)
Sphere: Healing
Range: Touch Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hr./level Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None

When this spell is placed upon a poisoned individual, it greatly slows the effects of venom, if cast upon the victim before the poison takes full effect. (This period, known as the onset time, is known to the DM.) While this spell does not neutralize the venom, it does prevent it from substantially harming the individual for the duration of its magic in the hope that, during that spell period, the poison can be fully cured.

The material components of the slow poison spell are the priest's holy symbol and a bud of garlic that must be crushed and smeared on the wound (or eaten if poison was ingested).

Snake Summoning
Schools: Enchantment/Charm
Spheres: Animal
Area of Effect: 120-ft radius
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: 120 yds
Saving Throw: Special

This spell allows the priest to summon all snakes, serpents, and serpent-like creatures within the area of effect. Creatures with Hit Dice greater than the level of the shukenja and those creatures with a high Intelligence are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. If the saving throw is failed or the creature not allowed a save, it comes to the priestand follows him about, so long as the priest maintains concentration on the spell.
The creatures make no attempt to harm the priest or those with him, unless they are attacked. Once attacked, the spell is broken. The priest can move at half his normal movement rate without breaking his concentration. At the end of the spell, the serpents revert to their normal state, with all the consequences this may entail.
The material component is a small silver flute, which is played throughout the duration of the spell.

Speed Fermentation (Alteration)
Sphere: Plant
Range: 3 feet + 1 foot per level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 2x2 feet x2 feet per level
Saving Throw: None

By the use of this spell, a priest may speed the fermentation process of any naturally fermentable vegetable matter (grapes, potatoes, wheat, etc.). Within one hour, all contents of the container will be completely fermented as if the full year (or whatever the necessary time period is) has passed. The priest must be careful to make sure that all other preparations have been made to hold the newly fermented liquid. There must be vats, bottles and anything else that is necessary for the preservation of the alcohol.

The priest must already be knowledgeable about the processes involved with fermentation, know the time necessary to ferment the grapes (or whatever), and know the alcohol-making processes before casting this spell (the character must have a proper nonweapon proficiency). The material component is a bit of already fermented material.

Spirit Tracker (Conjuration/Summoning)
Sphere: Astral, Divination, Vengeance
Range: Special
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 day per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

The spell operates by creating an ethereal presence capable of tracking an enemy with complete certainty. This spirit tracker is magically linked to its creator in such a way that the priest becomes aware of the direction to an enemy as soon it is located by the tracker. The tracker can find a creature in the same plane as the priest in 2d12 turns, and can find an enemy anywhere in 2d12 hours.

The enemy must have in some way, mentally or physically, brought harm on the priest or someone known to the priest. At fifth level, the priest learns the exact location as well as the direction to the hunted creature. At ninth level, the priest can actually see through the eyes of the spirit tracker.

During the operation of this spell, the tracked creature continually has the feeling that he is being watched. If the hunted creature is sensitive to ethereal vibrations (high level wizards, certain creatures of the outer planes, etc.) then the spirit tracker itself may (5% chance) be seen. The 3rd-level wizard spell detect scrying will reveal the location of the tracker, and a dispel magic cast upon the tracker will destroy it. If the tracker is dispelled, the casting priest must make a saving throw versus paralysation or sustain 1d6 points of damage and will have a tremendous headache for 3d6 hours preventing the use of another spiritual tracker during that time and placing the priest at -1 to hit.

Spread Healing
Schools: Necromancy
Spheres: Healing
Area of Effect: The caster
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S
Duration: 2 rnd/level
Range: 0
Saving Throw: None

When the priest casts any cure wounds spell while this spell is active, he may have the spell absorb part of the healing, which he may then release on another person or people (this requiring 1 round per person). It is possible, therefore, to cure 6 hit points of wounds, spreading it between two people, one damaged by 2 and another by 4. Excess curing may be saved up to the end of the spell's duration. The priest under this spell can sense when a person is fully healed and thus when it would be wise to heal the wounds of others instead.
Priests who may cast "cause wounds" spells may reverse this spell to spread wounds. Either version of the spell works only for cure (or cause) wounds spells personally cast by the priest during the spell's duration.

Spring
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Elemental, Water
Area of Effect: Creates 1 spring
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 24 hrs maximum
Range: 3 yds/level
Saving Throw: None

The priest can use this spell to create a temporary spring of water with a flow rate of 2 to 12 gallons a minute, depending on the relative dryness of the region. If the DM determines that underground water exists within range, it is detected and drawn to the surface at the spot chosen unless its path is blocked by solid rock. The appearance of the water is delayed one round for every 10 feet it must travel. In arid country, the spring may last for as little as 1 hour and flow at a lower rate.
The material component is a small forked stick, which is thrust into the ground.

Stalk
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Animal
Travelers
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: None

This spell makes the affected creature nearly invisible in rural surroundings (99% undetectable visually, as if hiding in shadows). The creature also becomes almost totally silent (as if moving silently with a 99% skill), and both its natural scent and its heat signature are masked by the spell (making infravisual or scent detection of the creature also 99% unlikely). A stationary creature under the effect of stalk is impossible to detect by nonmagical means at a range of greater than 10 yards.
Movement does not negate the spell, but it renders nonmagical detection possible by keen observation. In this case, the affected creature still can Move Silently with a base 50% chance for success and remain undetected with a base 65% chance for success with respect to vision and infravision. If the creature's normal Hide in Shadows or Move Silently skills are higher than these percentages, then they are used instead, although the infravision- masking chance while moving remains 65%. Scent masking is always at 99% for the duration of the spell.
The spell effect ends when the duration expires or when the creature attacks.
The material components are a piece of dried chameleon or lizard skin and the holy symbol.

Stormvoice
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Weather
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rd
Range: Special
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell enables the caster to speak with the voice of a storm. The caster can be heard clearly at 10 times normal distance. All creatures within a 20- foot radius of the caster must roll successful saving throws vs. spell or be deafened for 1d4 rounds and be knocked from their feet.

Straighten/Warp Wood
(Alteration)
Reversible
Sphere: Plant
Range: 10 yds./level Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special

When this spell is cast, the priest causes a volume of wood to bend and warp, permanently destroying its straightness, form, and strength. The range of a warp wood spell is 10 yards for each level of experience of the caster. It affects approximately a 15-inch shaft of wood of up to 1-inch diameter per level of the caster. Thus, at 1st level, a caster might be able to warp a hand axe handle or four crossbow bolts; at 5th level, he could warp the shaft of a typical spear. Note that boards or planks can also be affected, causing a door to be sprung or a boat or ship to leak. Warped missile weapons are useless; warped melee weapons suffer a -4 penalty to their attack rolls.

Enchanted wood is affected only if the spellcaster is of higher level than the caster of the prior enchantment. The spellcaster has a 20% cumulative chance of success per level of difference (20% if one level higher, 40% if two levels higher, etc.). Thus, a door magically held or wizard locked by a 5th-level wizard is 40% likely to be affected by a warp wood spell cast by a 7th-level priest. Wooden magical items are considered enchanted at 12th level (or better). Extremely powerful items, such as artifacts, are unaffected by this spell.

The reversed spell, straighten wood, straightens bent or crooked wood, or reverses the effects of a warp wood spell, subject to the same restrictions.

Summon Swarm (Conjuration/Summoning)
Sphere: Animal, Summoning
Range: 30 yards + 10 yards per level above fifth
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round + 1 round per level above third
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 1-yard per level radius sphere
Saving Throw: None

This spell is similar to insect plague, but the insects summoned are of a specific type (with specific effects) for example: Insect Effect
Flies 15% + 2% per level chance of causing disease
Locusts 2 HP per round to creatures caught in the swarm, and infestation of food

For a more detailed description, see the 5th-level priest spell insect plague.

3rd Level

Selective Entangle (Alteration, Invocation)
Sphere: Plant
Range: 80 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn per level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: One creature per 2 levels
Saving Throw: 1/2

This spell is very similar to the 1st-level priest spell entangle except that it affects only the creatures targeted by the spell and no-one else, unlike entangle.

When the creatures that are affected by this spell try to walk by any form of plant life, the plants will reach out and grab the creatures much in the same manner as with entangle. Thus, while they are trapped by the spell, others can then walk up to the entangled creatures. In this respect, the spell is similar to hold person in its effects. If the creatures fail their saving throw versus spell, they are held fast by the plants. If the saving throw is made, the targeted creatures have their movement reduced to half normal.

If the creatures struggle to free themselves from the plants then a new saving throw versus spell can be made every turn (note: this is very tiring). The to-hit bonus can be used as a positive modifier for these additional saving throws. If the creatures make one of these additional saving throws, they are freed, but their movement is still reduced by half. If after another turn the creatures are still in an area with plant life then a saving throw versus spell is required with the effects outlined above occurring. In short, a saving throw must be made every turn when in areas of vegetation to determine the effects of the spell if the spell target is actively fighting the effects of the spell.

The material component for this spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Shape Wood
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 9 cu ft +1 cu ft/level
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: None

By means of shape wood, the caster can reform wood. For example, the priest can cast it upon any appropriate-sized piece of wood to fashion a wooden weapon, make a rough door, or even create a crude figurine.
The spell also allows the caster to reshape an existing wooden door, perhaps to escape imprisonment. Again, the volume of the wooden object must be appropriate to the desired result and fit in the area of effect.
While a caster might form a wooden coffer from a tree stump or a door from a wooden wall, the result does not bear high quality detail. If a shaping has moving parts, there is a 30% chance they do not work. The alteration endures permanently, at least until the wood rots or is physically destroyed.
The caster blows the material component, a pinch of fine sawdust, over the wooden object subjected to the spell.

Slow Rot (Abjuration)
Sphere: Plant
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 week/level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell increases the amount of time that fruits, vegetables, and grains remain wholesome and ripe. The spell will not take effect upon meat of any kind.

The caster can affect as much as 100 cubic feet of plant material per level. Thus, even a low level priest could effectively keep a farmer's grain from rotting while in storage or keep the fruit on the trees in his orchard ripe until they are harvested. This spell does not prevent pests (such as rats) from eating the food.

The material component is a pinch of sugar.

Snake Arrow (Enchantment/Charm)
Sphere: Animal
Range: 2 yards
Components: S, M
Duration: 1 turn + 1 round per level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 3 creatures
Saving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, the priest paralyses 1 to 3 snakes causing them to elongate or be reduced to the size of a flight arrow. Any size of snakes can be used but the snake must be non-magical. Then, these snakes can be fired as arrows as they harden like wood while under the spell's effects. They have the same range as flight arrows, unless the snake used is of size L or G. Then, the range is halved, but a +1 damage bonus is applied, due to the mass that is conserved, despite the change in size.

If a poisonous snake is used, the victim must make a saving throw versus poison or suffer the ill effects of the poison the snake possesses within (the DM decides). After the impact, the spell wears off, and the snake turns back to its original form without getting injured, even if it had hit a plate armour or a tree or any other kind of barrier, as it is under the protection of the spell. The arrow itself does 1d6 HP of damage, and if the snake was L or G, an additional 1d8 damage is taken as the creature grows in the body.

After the spell expires, the snake's attitude is determined by a 1d4 roll: a 1 means the snake continues to attack its victim, a 4 indicates that it starts looking for the priest to take some kind of revenge. Note that this won't take much time if the caster is still in the melee area. Other results mean that it leaves the area silently. The material component of this spell is the caster's holy symbol.

Snapdragon
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 20 ft radius
Casting Time: 6
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 3 rds/level
Range: 80 yds
Saving Throw: Special

This spell is named after the little flower whose petals can be manipulated like jaws. Upon casting this spell, all blooming plants in the area of effect become animated and carnivorous. They writhe and stretch, biting at creatures passing through the area. They also shoot their pollen at creatures within the area of effect, in imitation of a dragon's use of its breath weapon. Creatures passing through this spell area take 2d4 points of damage from plant bites each round they are within the area of effect. Flowers shoot pollen at creatures in the area of effect. This causes a disabling sneezing and choking attack that prevents any action other than staggering about at half movement rate for as long as the creature remains in the area and 1 d4t 1 rounds thereafter. A successful saving throw vs. spell reduces damage from bites to ld4 points per round, and negates the pollen attack for five rounds. Creatures remaining in the area longer than this, or leaving and then reentering must make another saving throw to avoid the effects.
The material component is a snapdragon blossom.

Snare
(Enchantment/Charm)
Sphere: Plant
Range: Touch Components: V, S, M
Duration: Until triggered Casting Time: 3 rds.
Area of Effect: 2-ft. diameter + 2 in./level Saving Throw: None

This spell enables the caster to make a snare that is 90% undetectable without magical aid. The snare can be made from any supple vine, a thong, or a rope. When the snare spell is cast upon it, the cordlike object blends with its surroundings. One end of the snare is tied in a loop that contracts around one or more of the limbs of any creature stepping inside the circle (note that the head of a worm or snake could be thus ensnared).

If a strong and supple tree is nearby, the snare can be fastened to it. The magic of the spell causes the tree to bend and then straighten when the loop is triggered, inflicting 1d6 points of damage to the creature trapped, and lifting it off the ground by the trapped member(s) (or strangling it if the head/neck triggered the snare). If no such sapling or tree is available, the cordlike object tightens upon the member(s), then wraps around the entire creature, causing no damage, but tightly binding it. Under water, the cord coils back upon its anchor point. The snare is magical, so for one hour it is breakable only by cloud giant or greater Strength (23); each hour thereafter, the snare material loses magic so as to become 1 point more breakable per hour--22 after two hours, 21 after three, 20 after four--until six full hours have elapsed. At that time, 18 Strength will break the bonds. After 12 hours have elapsed, the materials of the snare lose all magical properties and the loop opens, freeing anything it held. The snare can be cut with any magical weapon, or with any edged weapon wielded with at least a +2 attack bonus (from Strength, for example).

The caster must have a snake skin and a piece of sinew from a strong animal to weave into the cordlike object from which he will make the snare. Only the caster's holy symbol is otherwise needed.

Snow Man (Conjuration/Summoning)
Sphere: Elemental (Air, Water), Summoning
Range: 40 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 rounds per level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell conjures up a 5 foot snow man. The snowman has 3 HD, MV 90 feet per round, and one attack for 2d6. It can be hit by normal weapons, and can freeze potions with a touch. It can put out normal fires and torches. It can also cause a small snowstorm in its range (40 yard radius from priest) that lasts for 1d4 rounds, making all creatures in the storm blind. Any being from the planes of ice, air, or water can destroy the snowman with a touch, including another snowman. If the snowman moves more than 40 yards away from the caster it will instantly melt. The material component for this spell is a bit of snow.

Spike Growth
(Alteration, Enchantment)
Sphere: Plant
Range: 60 yds. Components: V, S, M
Duration: 3d4 turns + 1/level Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 10-ft. sq./level Saving Throw: None

Wherever any type of plant growth of moderate size or density is found, this spell can be used. The ground-covering vegetation or roots and rootlets in the area becomes very hard and sharply pointed. In effect, the ground cover, while appearing to be unchanged, acts as if the area were strewn with caltrops. In areas of bare ground or earthen pits, roots and rootlets act in the same way. For each 10 feet of movement through the area, the victim suffers 2d4 points of damage. He must also roll a saving throw vs. spell. If this saving throw is failed, the victim's movement rate is reduced by 1/3 of its current total (but a creature's movement rate can never be less than 1). This penalty lasts for 24 hours, after which the character's normal movement rate is regained.

Without the use of a spell such as true seeing, similar magical aids, or some other special means of detection (such as detect traps or detect snares and pits), an area affected by spike growth is absolutely undetectable as such until a victim enters the area and suffers damage. Even then, the creature cannot determine the extent of the perilous area unless some means of magical detection is used.

The components for this spell are the priest's holy symbol and either seven sharp thorns or seven small twigs, each sharpened to a point.

Splinter Wood
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 1 wooden item
Casting Time: 6
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Range: 60 yds
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell causes one wooden object to explode violently into thousands of splinters. The druid can affect up to one spear shaft in volume per level (one axe handle, seven arrow shafts, or 7 pounds of wood). An item with a volume greater than the caster can affect suffers no harm. Otherwise, the item is allowed an item saving throw vs. crushing blow with a -1 penalty for every four levels of the druid (magical items have bonuses as noted in the DMG).
Any creature within a certain distance takes damage from the flying splinters. The affected area depends on the size of the splintered object: 2 feet, plus 1 additional foot per 20 pounds mass. The splinters cause damage equal to 1 hit point per 7 pounds of wood. Thus, a spear shaft inflicts 1 point of damage to any creature holding it or within 2 feet.
Damage caused by the splinters is reduced by a value equal to the Armor Class of the creature subtracted from 10. Thus, a creature with AC -1 is protected from 11 points of damage.
A creature's Dexterity is reduced by 1 point for every 5 points of damage inflicted by this spell until such time as all splinters are removed. This takes one round per point of damage received. (Splinters inflicting less than 5 points of damage need not be removed.)
Additionally, creatures without great helms or eye protection have a 5% chance of being blinded for 2d4 rounds.

Stone Seeds (Alteration)
Sphere: Elemental (Earth), Plant
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 month
Casting Time: Special
Area of Effect: 50-yard long square per level
Saving Throw: None

When stone seeds is cast, it causes plant seeds to become magically enchanted so as to enable them to grow in to solid stone. The seeds will grow at quadruple normal rate for 4 weeks. During this time the roots will grow down into the stone a distance of 1 inch per level of the priest in hard stone or 2 inches per level in soft stone. After this month (28 days) is over, the plants will grow normally. Thus they will require food, light, and sunlight if they are to continue growing after this point.

The effect of the plants growing into a stone structure are rather nasty, for it could remove around 10-90% of the structure's structural points, depending upon the thickness of the stone. To cast this spell, the priest must mix a handful of seeds from whatever hardy plants are available (such as crabgrass, ivy, cactus, dandelion, etc.) with the seeds to be planted. This must be then mixed in a leather pouch with sapphire dust of not less than 50 gp value per 5 inch square area to be covered. The priest then "sows" the seeds as he casts the spell, with the seeds magically implanting themselves in the stone. The spell takes 1 turn per 5 inch square area to be covered to cast.

Stone Shape
(Alteration)
Sphere: Elemental (Earth)
Range: Touch Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 rd.
Area of Effect: 9 cu. ft. + 1 cu. ft./level Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster can form an existing piece of stone into any shape that suits his purposes. For example, he can make a stone weapon, a special trapdoor, or a crude idol. By the same token, it enables the spellcaster to shape a stone door, perhaps so as to escape imprisonment, providing the volume of stone involved is within the limits of the area of effect. While stone coffers can be thus formed, stone doors made, etc., the fineness of detail is not great. If the shaping has moving parts, there is a 30% chance they do not work.

The material component of this spell is soft clay that must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the stone object, and then touched to the stone when the spell is uttered.

Stonebirds
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Animal, Elemental, Earth
Area of Effect: 2d10 birds
Casting Time: 4
Components: V, S
Duration: Special
Range: Special
Saving Throw: None

When cast, this spell summons 2d10 birds, which are transformed into living stone. The birds are under the control of the caster and retain all of their avian abilities. Each stone bird is treated as a 1 Hit Die creature with a THAC0 of 19. A stone bird has 4 hit points and inflicts ld4 points of damage with each pecking attack.
Stone birds can be directed to fly into a creature. If the bird successfully strikes a creature, it inflicts 2d8 points of damage and dies.
Birds remain in their stone form for 10 minutes per level of the caster, or until they are killed. At the end of the spell's duration, the birds are no longer under the caster's control.

Storm Shield
Schools: Abjuration
Spheres: Protection
Weather
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 6
Components: V, S
Duration: 6 rds + 1d4 rds
Range: 10 yds/level
Saving Throw: None

This spell creates a floating, weightless, mobile barrier of solid air that blocks all damage from winds, lightning, normal missiles, and heat or cold. A storm shield attracts all electrical discharges within 30 feet and absorbs them so that no harm is done to nearby beings. It automatically neutralizes any extreme of heat (including fire), or cold (including ice), that it comes into contact with, but does so only once for each extreme. A storm shield neutralizes a second encounter or round of contact with either extreme heat or cold, but as it does so, the storm shield itself dissipates, ending the spell.
A storm shield is always about 6 inches thick and occupies a square, flat area of 10 square feet per level, stopping where it encounters solid obstacles. It can be fitted into a narrow passage or opening, so as to seal it entirely or be made to fold in on itself if the caster so wills to make a smaller barrier that can be moved about in narrow confines without becoming stuck. The caster can move the shield by force of will at MV 12 (B) and turn or tilt it as desired, until he or she engages in other spellcasting, whereupon control over the shield is lost, and it remains stationary until the spell expires.
A storm shield is effective from all sides, but it only deflects normal missiles; a sword or other weapon can be thrust through it with no effect on either the shield or the attack.
