- First Level
Wailing
Wind
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Elemental, Air
Weather
Area of Effect: Cube, 10 ft/level
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: 5 yds/level
Saving Throw: None
By means of this spell, a priest creates a magical warning system. When
any creature larger than a common honeybee enters a guarded area (a passage,
chamber, cavern, doorway, or cave mouth of up to the area of effect),
a wailing, whistling blast of wind blows from the guarded area toward
the casting priest. The priest designates the area to be protected verbally,
and must be standing within 5 yards per level of the area to be protected
when the spell is cast.
The wailing wind travels toward the caster as long as he or she is on
the same plane as the guarded area, but fades out beyond 100 yards per
level of the caster. The wailing wind has a distinctive tone that can
be heard by all creatures capable of hearing. It transmits and magnifies
any sounds (speech, movement, etc.) made by the triggering being at the
time it is activated and thus it may give any listener a clue as to what
sort of intruder approaches.
The spell cannot be modified to be activated only by specific beings or
types of creatures. Once the guarded area is entered and the wailing wind
rises, the spell is exhausted unless the caster was of sufficient level
to allow another activation of the spell for another intruder. The wind
itself lasts for 1 round per level of the casting priest once triggered
although the caster can end it sooner.
A wailing wind can be activated more than once, depending on the level
of its caster. As the level of the caster increases, the number of blasts
of wailing wind occurring for different intruders at different times is
also increased. A 1st- or 2nd-level caster creates only a single-blast
wailing wind, a 3rd- or 4th-level caster creates a wind of two blasts;
a 5th-or 6th-level caster creates a wind of three blasts, and so on with
no known maximum |
Water

Sphere: Creation, Elemental (Water)

This
spell allows the priest to transform one glass of water per level to

Weapon
of the Earth
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Elemental, Earth
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 4
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 rd/level
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: None
This spell allows the caster to transform a normal chunk of stone into
a weapon, However the affected stone must be of a volume relative to the
weapon type it will assume; the spell fails if the amount of available
stone is less than the volume of the desired weapon.
Despite being made of stone, the weapon inflicts normal damage for its
type. Its stone corn. position makes it immune to metal-affecting magic
and conditions like rust or corrosion, heat metal and crystalbrittle spells,
and so on. On the other hand, the weapon is susceptible to stone-affecting
spells such as stone to flesh, transmute rock to mud and the like. In
any case, the weapon is considered magical for purposes of determining
what creatures it can hit, but it provides no additional attack or damage
bonuses.
When the spell expires the weapon returns to its normal form. Dispel magic
and similar effects can make the weapon revert to a normal stone early
if cast successfully.
The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a small chunk
of iron ore. |
Weathertell
Schools: Greater Divination
Lesser Divination
Spheres: Divination
Weather
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 3 rds
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Range: 0
Saving Throw: None
This spell enables the caster, who must be able to see the sky and listen
to the winds, to predict the general weather conditions for the upcoming
1 hour per level of the caster. These are the natural weather conditions
at the caster's current location (and probably the nearby area) assuming
that no magical manipulation occurs. Thus, this spell could predict a
natural rain shower that is coming in three hours, but could not predict
a magically created storm tomorrow morning. The caster discovers the general
wind speed and prevailing direction of the wind that will be extant for
the indicated time period. Specific timing of gusts and wind shifts is
not available, however. Similarly, the caster discovers whether it will
be precipitating, what type of precipitation it will be, and approximately
how hard any precipitation will fall. Exceptional weather pat-tarns (such
as tornadoes) are revealed to the caster, but he or she cannot predict
their path with any accuracy. Finally, the spell also reveals if magic
is currently acting on the weather at the instant the spell is cast, but
not in what way it is being affected.
The material component is a miniature weather-vane carved of wood or made
from metal. |
Whisperward
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Guardian
Weather
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 1 turn
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Until triggered
Range: 0
Saving Throw: None
This ward can be applied to a single item or closure (such as a book,
door, or lid), or it can ward an area up to 60 feet in diameter. The caster
can key it to an individual, alignment, or condition in much the same
way as a magic mouth spell. If the ward is triggered, a faint whispering
breeze alerts the caster, who must be within 1 mile per level of the
caster to be alerted.
The material component is the priest’s holy symbol

Woodland Ruse Woodland Wile
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 20 yards
Casting Time: 2
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Range: 10 yards
Saving Throw: See below
This spell causes the woods near the priest to rustle as if an animal
were hiding in the vegetation or a gust of wind were blowing. Woodland
ruse woodland wile is used to provide a distraction so that the caster
might escape or gain initiative. Anyone within the area of effect must
make a saving throw, modified as follows: animals receive a -1 penalty,
chaotic targets |

Warning
Schools: Lesser Divination
Greater Divination
Spheres: Divination
Area of Effect: 10-ft radius around creature touched
Casting Time: 2
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: None
This spell heightens the sense of the
recipient and his or her awareness of danger. The subject receives a
favorable adjustment of 1 on surprise checks (3-in-10 becomes 2-in-10,
and so on) from events originating within the area of effect. (For example,
the subject can be surprised by a missile fired from outside the area
of effect.)
Likewise, the individual cannot be easily struck from behind, since
the subject becomes aware of any creature moving behind him or her within
10 feet. Further, the subject has a 30% chance to notice any trap or
hidden danger (including invisible opponents) within the area of effect.
Also, the chance of a foe successfully Hiding in Shadows or Moving Silently
in the area of effect is halved.
The various warnings given by this spell are only noticeable to the
recipient of the spell. It is that individual's decision to notify other
members of an allied group should a warning be received.
The material component is a small metal figure sprinkled with the dust
of a crushed |
Warp
Sense
Schools: Greater Divination
Lesser Divination
Spheres: Divination
Area of Effect: 60-ft path
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rd/level
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: Special
The warp sense, a spell finds and analyzes
the gates and portals of the planes. It allows the being touched to
sense any gate or portal, active or not, along a 60-foot path, dead
ahead. Scanning in a single direction (out of four in a complete circle)
takes one full round, so the recipient can shift directions while scanning.
However, the empowered creature cannot move in any other way without
disrupting the spell; full concentration is required.
Once a portal is detected, the creature can try to deduce where the
other end discharges and the key required to use the portal, if any.
Each piece of information requires a separate saving throw and if either
is failed, a; nothing further can be learned about that portal. The
player can state which question will be asked first. If the creature
has actually seen the portal in operation, a +2 bonus is applied to
the check. |
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.

Water
Whip (Evocation)
Sphere: Combat, Elemental (Water)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round per 2 levels
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: One 10-foot long whip
Saving Throw: None
With
this spell, the caster causes a crystal clear blue whip to form in his
hand - the weapon is made entirely of water. If the caster successfully
hits with the water whip in melee, the target suffers damage equal to
1d2 (or 1 for Large creatures) + 1 point per level of the caster. Thus,
an 8th-level priest will do either 9 or 10 points of damage. If the
priest hits with a natural 20, he has succeeded in disarming his opponent;
the target still takes damage. A creature attacking with only natural
weapons (teeth and claws, for example) cannot be disarmed in this manner.
Any
creature especially susceptible to water damage suffers double damage.
Note: double damage does not apply to creatures susceptible to holy
water, such as undead (the water that composes the whip is not holy
water).
Although
magical in origin, it is not considered a magical weapon unless cast
by high level priests (tenth level or greater). That is, for casters
of tenth level or greater, the water whip is considered a weapon, +1;
for casters of twentieth level or greater, it is considered a weapon,
+2; and so on.
In
addition to the caster's holy symbol, the spell requires a leaf from
any water-dwelling plant as a material component.

Watery
Fist
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Sphere: Elemental (Water)
Range: 60 yds. Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 rd./level Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None
This
spell conjures a coherent pseudopod of water from any suitable body
of water at least 5 feet across and 2 feet deep (for streams) or 10
feet in diameter and 2 feet deep (for ponds or pools). The pseudopod
can stretch up to 10 feet plus 1 foot per caster level from its source,
so a 3rd-level priest could command watery fist to strike at a creature
hovering thirteen feet above a lake or standing on the shore 13 feet
from the water. The pseudopod obeys the priest’s mental commands,
although the priest must concentrate each round in order to maintain
control of the watery member.The
pseudopod is incapable of fine manipulation, but it can be used to make
bludgeoning or constricting attacks. When used to strike at opponents,
it attacks with the caster’s THAC0 and inflicts damage as shown
below. The priest may add his magical attack adjustment (from his Wisdom
score) to his THAC0, but Strength-based adjustments or special weapon
skills don’t help the priest to control watery fist. The pseudopod
may be able to make rear or flank attacks if the priest can direct it
into the proper position.If
used to encircle and constrict, the pseudopod must first make an attack
roll as described above, inflicting damage based on the priest’s
level. However, in following rounds, the pseudopod automatically strikes
its grappled target for constricting damage, +1 point per round of constricting.
In other words, in the first round the victim sustains listed damage,
in the second round he sustains listed damage +1, in the third he sustains
listed damage +2, and so on. The pseudopod holds its target with an
effective Strength equal to the priest’s Wisdom score.Caster

fist can be released by the priest any time he cares to stop concentrating
on maintaining it. The pseudopod immediately resumes its normal state,
possibly drenching a grappled creature or extinguishing a small fire
if the caster wishes. The pseudopod is AC 6 and has 15 hp plus 1 hp
per caster level, but it can only be damaged by magical weapons, fire,
or cold; all other attacks simply pass through the water. Transmute
water to dust, part water, lower water, and Otiluke’s freezing
sphere all destroy watery fist on contact.
The
material component is a vial full of blessed water or a sprig of mistletoe
that is thrown onto the body of water from which the fist will be summoned. |
Water
Witch
Schools: Greater Divination
Lesser Divination
Spheres: Elemental, Water
Area of Effect: Special
Casting Time: 3 turns
Components: V, M
Duration: Until water is found
Range: Special
Saving Throw: None
The priest must first find two wooden or metal rods
no more than 2 feet long and 1/8 inch thick. One is held in each hand,
level with the body, as the priest begins to walk. When water is detected,
the rods are attracted to each other; they form an "X" over
the spot. The sticks are only magical for the duration of the spell,
and the caster is guaranteed to find any quantity of water of at least
2d6 gallons no more than 1 foot below ground level. The water will be
muddy, so each thirsty creature has to drink twice the amount normally
needed. Disturbing the caster breaks the spell; the caster can abandon
it at any time, as well. |
Whisperleaf
Schools: Alteration
Spheres: Plant
Area of Effect: 1 oak branch
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 4 rds + 2 rds/level
Range: Touch
Saving Throw: None
This spell transforms the still-living branch of an oak tree into a
stout wooden spear that the priest can easily remove from the tree and
use in combat. The spear created by this spell is a +l magical weapon.
The caster must wield the spear, it does not fight on its own. When
the spell ends, the spear reverts to its original form, but cannot be
rejoined to the original tree. The bonus increases by +l when the caster
reaches 5th level and again at 10th, to a maximum of +3
The material component is the priest's holy symbol. |

Area of Effect: The caster
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn + 1 rd/level
Range: 0
Saving Throw: None
A priest casting this dweomer gains the ability to run at great speed
for the duration of the spell. The priest can move at a rate of 15 without
tiring. The priest can jump over ground obstacles up to twice his height
tall and twice his height broad during normal movement without breaking
stride. A normal jump is increased by a distance up to twice the caster's
height as well.
The material component is scrapings from the hooves of a fleet herbivore
(deer, antelope, etc.). |
Wind
Lash
Schools: Alteration,
Invocation/Evocation
Spheres: Weather
Area of Effect: 1 being
Casting Time: 5
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rd/level
Range: 5 yds/level
Saving Throw: ½
This spell creates an invisible, weightless
whip of hard-edged air extending from a limb of the caster. With this
construct, the caster can strike with his or her normal THAC0 at one
chosen opponent, causing 2 points of damage per level per successful
attack. In any round in which the wind lash successfully strikes, any
target spellcasting with a casting time of more than 1 is ruined, and
the target creature must make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation
or be hurled to the ground, taking an additional 1 point of damage and
forcing all fragile carried items to make a saving throw vs. fall.
The caster can switch targets at will, but switching targets takes a
round, during which time no one can be attacked by the wind lush. The
nature of the wind lash is such that only the chosen creature is struck.
Other beings are aware of the spell because it emits terrifying snarling
wind noises and may even blow away small, light objects such as cap-feathers
and parchments that are not securely tipped (but they suffer no damage).
If the spell-caster casts another spell while this spell is still in
effect, the wind lash dissipates immediately. A wind lash-wielder can
employ magical items simultaneously with a lash if they can be wielded
with one hand. |

Water Breathing
(Alteration)
Reversible
Sphere: Elemental (Water, Air)
Range: Touch Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hr./level Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None
The recipient of a water breathing spell is able to breathe under water freely for the duration of the spell--i.e., one hour for each experience level of the caster. The priest can divide the base duration between multiple characters. Thus, an 8th-level priest can confer this ability to two characters for four hours, four for two hours, eight for one hour, etc., to a minimum of one half-hour per character.
The reverse, air breathing, enables water-breathing creatures to survive comfortably in the atmosphere for an equal duration. Note that neither version prevents the recipient creature from breathing in its natural element.

Water Walk
(Alteration)
Sphere: Elemental (Water)
Range: Touch Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn + 1 turn/level Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None
By means of this spell, the caster is able to empower one or more creatures to tread upon any liquid as if it were firm ground; this includes mud, quicksand, oil, running water, and snow. The recipient's feet do not touch the surface of the liquid, but oval depressions of his appropriate foot size and 2 inches deep are left in the mud or snow. The recipient's rate of movement remains normal. If cast under water, the recipient is borne toward the surface.
For every level of the caster above the minimum required to cast the spell (5th level), he can affect another creature.
The material components for this spell are a piece of cork and the priest's holy symbol.

Water Window
Schools: Greater Divination
Lesser Divination
Spheres: Divination,
Elemental, Water
Area of Effect: 5 x 5 ft sq
Casting Time: 1 rd
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hr
Range: 10 ft
Saving Throw: None
This spell allows the caster to gain information from a quantity of water. Once the spell is cast, the water begins to show the images of objects and creatures that have been reflected in its surface over the past 24 hours. The caster can make specific requests such as "show me the last man who passed by here, " and the water will show the appropriate reflection. Should the request be impossible to fulfill, the water becomes opaque gray until another request is made or the spell expires.
Should the caster use the spell on flowing water, such as a river, the caster must keep up with the water in order to view the reflection. Other-wise, the flowing water shows images of what happened upstream (where the actual water was when the objects were reflected in it). If there was no light to produce a reflection, the water shows only darkness under the effect of this spell.
The spell requires a suitable body of water. |
Weather Prediction
(Divination)
Sphere: Weather
Range: 0 Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous Casting Time: 1 rd.
Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None
By casting this spell, the priest can predict the weather conditions at his location for a period of time equal to one day per level. The caster becomes aware of the prevailing conditions, trends, and weather systems that may affect his present location. Temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and precipitation can all be predicted with 95% accuracy for the next day, less 10% for each day after that. In other words, the priest’s prediction is 95% accurate for the first day, 85% accurate for the second, 75% accurate for the third, and so on. In addition, magical or supernatural phenomena cannot be predicted.
Priests of powers concerned with weather may use this spell to determine the best time for certain ceremonies or observances. Other priests find weather prediction useful for planning journeys or selecting campsites.
