Sphere: Divination
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell enables the caster to speak and understand additional languages, whether they are racial tongue or regional dialects, but not communications of animals or mindless creatures. When the spell is cast, the spell caster selects the language or languages to be understood. The spell then empowers the caster with the ability to speak and understand the language desired with perfect fluency and accent. The spell enables the priest to be understood by all speakers of that language within hearing distance, usually 60 feet. This spell does not predispose the subject toward the caster in any way. The priest can speak one additional tongue for every three levels of experience.

The reverse of the spell cancels the effect of the tongues spell or confuses verbal communication of any sort within the area of effect.

Sphere: Plant
Range: 30 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: 1d4 sticks +1 stick/level in a 10-foot cube
Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster can change 1d4 sticks, plus one stick per experience level, into snakes; thus a 9th-level priest can change 10-13 sticks into an equal number of snakes. These snakes attack as commanded by the priest. There must, of course, be sticks or similar pieces of wood (such as torches, spears, etc.) to turn into snakes. Such a stick cannot be larger than a staff. Sticks held by creatures are allowed a saving throw equal to that of the possessor (i.e., a spear held by an orc must fail the orc’s saving throw vs. polymorph). Magical items, such as staves and enchanted spears, are not affected by the spell. Only sticks within the area of effect are changed. The type of snake created varies, but a typical specimen has 2 Hit Dice, Armor Class 6, a movement rate of 9, and either constricts for 1d4 +1 points of damage per round or bites for 1 point plus poison (if any). The chance of a snake thus changed being venomous is 5% per caster level, if the spellcaster desires. Thus, an 11th-level priest has a maximum 55% chance that any snake created by the spell is poisonous. The spell lasts for two rounds for each experience level of the spellcaster.

The material components of the spell are a small piece of bark and several snake scales.

The reverse changes normal-sized snakes to sticks for the same duration, or it negates the sticks to snakes spell according to the level of the priest countering the spell (e.g., a 10th-level priest casting the reverse spell can turn 11-14 snakes back into sticks).

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the priest renders a creature touched immune to the effects of a specified spell of 4th level or lower. It protects against spells, spell-like effects of magical items, and innate spell-like abilities of creatures. It does not protect against breath weapons or gaze attacks of any type. The spell has additional limitations. First, the caster must have directly experienced the effect of the spell specified. For example, if the caster has been attacked by a fireball spell at some time, then he can use spell immunity to provide protection from a fireball. Second, the spell cannot affect a creature already magically protected by a potion, protective spell, ring, or other device. Third, only a particular spell can be protected against, not a certain sphere of spells or a group of spells that are similar in effect; thus, a creature given immunity to the lightning bolt spell is still vulnerable to a shocking grasp spell.

The material component for spell immunity is the same as that for the spell to be protected against.

Area of Effect: 30-foot radius
Saving Throw: None

When cast, a speak with plants spell enables the priest to converse, in very rudimentary terms, with all sorts of living vegetables (including fungi, molds, and plant-like monsters, such as shambling mounds) and to exercise limited control over normal plants (i.e., not monsters or plant-like creatures). Thus, the caster can question plants as to whether or not creatures have passed through them, cause thickets to part to enable easy passage, require vines to entangle pursuers, and command similar services. The spell does not enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but any movements within the plants’ normal capabilities are possible. Creatures entangled by the 1st-level spell of that name can be released. The power of the spell lasts for one round for each experience level of the casting priest. All vegetation within the area of effect is affected by the spell.

The material components for this spell are a drop of water, a pinch of dung. and a flame.

Area of Effect: 10-foot radius
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast, the priest creates an invisible barrier to all sorts of insects, and normal insects do not approach within 10 feet of the caster while the spell is in effect. Giant insects with Hit Dice less than 1/3 of the caster’s experience level are also repelled (e.g., 2 Hit Dice for 7th- to 9th-level casters, 3 Hit Dice at 10th- through 12th-level, etc.). Insects with more Hit Dice can enter the protected area if the insect is especially aggressive and, in addition, rolls a successful saving throw vs. spell. Those that do sustain ld6 points of damage from passing of the magical barrier. Note that the spell does not in any way affect arachnids, myriapods, and similar creatures-it affects only true insects.

The material components of the repel insects spell include any one of the following: several crushed marigold flowers, a whoJe crushed leek, seven crushed stinging nettle leaves, or a small Jump of resin from a camphor tree.

Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell enables the caster to cause a pool of norma) water found in a natural setting to act as a scrying device. The pool can be of no greater diameter than two feet per level of the caster. The effect is to create a scrying device similar to a crystal ball. The scrying can extend only to those planes of existence that are coexistent with or border on the Prime Material plane – the inner planes (including the para-elemental planes, plane of Shadow, etc.). General notes on scrying, detection by the subject and penalties for attempting to scry beyond the caster’ own plane are given in the DMG, as well as a description of the crystal ball item.

The following spells can be cast through a reflecting pool, with a 5% per level chance for operating correctly: detect magic, detect snares and pits, detect poison. Each additional detection attempt requires a round of con cent ration, regardless of success. Infravision, if available, operates normally through the reflecting pool.

The image is nearly always hazy enough to prevent the reading of script of any type.

The material component is the oil extracted from such nuts as the hickory and the walnut, refined, and dropped in three measure upon the surface of the pool. (A measure need be no more than a single ounce of oil.)

At the OM’s option, the casting of this spell may be limited to once per day.

The effect of a protection from lightning spell changes depending on who is the recipient of the magic-the caster or some other creature. In either case, the spell lasts no longer than one turn per caster level.

* If the spell is cast upon the caster, it confers complete invulnerability to electrical attack such as dragon breath, or magical lightning such as lightning bolt, shocking grasp, storm giant, will ‘o wisp, etc., until the spell has absorbed 10 points of electrical damage per level of the caster, at which time the spell is negated.

* If the spell is cast upon another creature, it gives a bonus of +4 to the die roll for saving throws made vs. electrical attacks, and it reduces the damage sustained from such attacks by 50%.

The caster’s holy symbol is the material component.

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: 10-foot-radius sphere
Saving Throw: None

The globe of protection of this spell is identical in all respects to that of a protection from evil spell, except that it encompasses a much larger area and its duration is greater. The effect is centered on and moves with the creature touched. Any protected creature within the circle will break the warding against enchanted/summoned monster if he attacks those monsters. A creature unable to fit completely into the area of effect (for example, a 21-foot-tall titan) remains partially exposed and subject to whatever penalties the OM decides. If such a creature is the recipient of the spell, the spell acts as a normal protection from evil spell for that creature only.

The reverse, protection from good, 10′ radius, wards against good creatures.

To complete this spell, the priest must trace a circle 20 feet in diameter using holy (or unholy) water and incense (or smoldering dung), according to the protection from evil spell.

Area of Effect: Person touched
Saving Throw: None

By the use of this spell, the priest can transfer a limited number and selection of his currently memorized spells, and the ability to cast them, to another person. Only non-spellcasters (including rangers under 8th level and paladins under 9th level) can receive this bestowal; the imbue with spell ability enchantment does not function for those belonging to spellcasting classes, for unintelligent monsters, nor for any individual with less than 1 full Hit Die. In addition, the person thus imbued must have a Wisdom score of 9 or higher. Only priest spells of an informational or defensive nature or a cure light wounds spell can be transferred. Transferring any other spell type negates the entire attempt, including any allowable spells that were chosen. Higher level persons can receive more than one spell at the priest’s option:

The transferred spell’s variable characteristics (range, duration, area of effect, etc.) function according to the level of the priest originally imbuing the spell.

A priest who casts imbue with spell ability upon another character loses the number of 1st- and 2nd-level spells he has imbued until the recipient uses the transferred spells or is slain. For example, a 7th-level priest with five 1st- and four 2nd-level spells imbues a 1Oth-level fighter with a cure light wounds spell and a slow poison spell. The cleric no w can have only four 1st-level spells memorized until the cure is cast and only three 2nd-level spells until the slow poison is cast, or until the fighter is killed. In the mean time, the priest remains responsible to his ethos for the use to which the spell is put.

The material components for this spell are the priest’s holy symbol, plus some minor item from the recipient that is symbolic of his profession (a lockpick for a thief, etc.). This item, and any material component for the imbued spell, is consumed when the imbue with spell ability spell is cast.

The hold plant spell affects vegetable matter as follows: 1) it causes ambulatory vegetation to cease moving; 2) it prevents vegetable matter from entwining, grasping, closing, or growing; 3) it prevents vegetable matter from making any sound or movement that is not caused by wind. The spell effects apply to all forms of vegetation, including parasitic and fungoid types, and those magically animated or otherwise magically empowered. It affects such monsters as green slime, molds of any sort, shambling mounds, shriekers, treants, etc. The duration of a hold plant spell is one round per level of experience of the caster. It affects ld4 plants in a 40′ X 40′ area-or a square four to 16 yards on a side of small ground growth such as grass or mold. If but one plant (or four yards square) is chosen as the target for the spell by the caster, the saving throw of the plant (or area of plant growth) is made with a -4 penalty to the die roll; if two plants (or eight yards square) are the target, saving throws suffer a -2 penalty; if three plants (or 12 yards square) are the target, saving throws suffer a -1 penalty; and if the maximum of four plants (or 16 yards square) are the target, saving throws are unmodified.
