Sphere: Sun
Range: 60 yards +10 yards/level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: 5-foot-radius sphere (plus special)
Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster is able to cause a beam of soft, pale light to strike downward from overhead and illuminate whatever area he is pointing at. The light is exactly the same as moonlight, so that colors other than shades of black, gray, or white are vague. The spell caster can easily make the moonbeam move to any area that he can see and point to. This makes the spell an effective way to spotlight something, an opponent, for example. While the moonbeam spell does not eliminate all shadows, a creature centered in a moonbeam is most certainly visible. The reflected light from this spell enables dim visual perception 10 yards beyond the area of effect, but it does not shed a telltale glow that would negate surprise. The light does not adversely affect infravision. The caster can dim the beam to near darkness if desired. The beam has, in addition, all the properties of true moonlight and can induce a lycanthropic change (while in the beam), unless your DM rules otherwise.

The material components are several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar (moonstone).

Sphere: Divination
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 hour
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

The spell causes a holy water font to serve as a scrying device. The spell does not function unless the priest is in good standing with his deity. The basin of holy water becomes similar to a crystal ball. For each vial of capacity of the basin, the priest may scry for one round, up to a maximum of one hour; thus, the duration of the magic font spell is directly related to the size of the holy water receptacle. The DM will know the chances of a character being able to detect scrying.

The priest’s holy symbol and the font and its trappings are not consumed by the spell.

Sphere: Combat
Range: 120 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: 180′ diameter, 60′ high cloud
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast by the priest, a horde of creeping, hopping, and flying insects gather and swarm in a thick cloud. (In an environment free of normal insects, the spell fails.) The insects obscure vision, limiting it to 10 feet. Spellcasting within the cloud is impossible. Creatures in the insect plague sustain 1 point of damage for each round they remain within, due to the bites and stings of the insects, regardless of Armor Class. Invisibility is no protection. All creatures with 2 or fewer Hit Dice will automatically move at their fastest possible speed in a random direction until they are more than 240 yards away from the insects. Creatures with fewer than 5 Hit Dice must check morale; failure means they run as described above.

Heavy smoke drives off insects within its bounds. Fire also drives insects away; a wall of fire in a ring shapee keeps a subsequently cast insect plague outside its confines, but a fireball simply clears insects from its blast area for one round. A single torch is ineffective against this vast horde of insects. Lightning, cold, or ice are likewise ineffective, while a strong wind that covers the entire plague area disperses the insects and ends the spell. The plague lasts two rounds for each level of the caster, and thereafter the insects disperse.

The insects swarm in an area that centers around a summoning point determined by the spellcaster; the point can be up to 120 yards away from the priest. The insect plague does not move thereafter for as long as it lasts. Note that the spell can be countered by a dispel magic spell.

The material components of this spell are a few grains of sugar, some kernels of grain, and a smear of fat.

Sphere: Combat
Range: 60 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 5-foot radius by 30-foot-high column
Saving Throw: 1/2

When the priest calls down a flame strike spell, a vertical column of fire roars downward in the exact location called for by the caster. Any creature within the area of effect of a flame strike must roll a saving throw vs. spell. Failure means the creature sustains 6d8 points of damage; otherwise, the damage is halved.

The material component of this spell is a pinch of sulphur.

Sphere: Protection, Summoning
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: Neg.

The priest using this spell causes a summoned creature of evil nature, an evil creature from another plane, or a creature summoned by an evil caster, to return to its own plane or place when the caster successfully strikes it in melee combat. (Examples of such creatures are aerial servants, djinn, efreet, elementals, and invisible stalkers.) An evil enchantment (such as a charm spell cast by an evil creature) that is subject to a normal dispel magic spell can be automatically dispelled by the dispel evil spell . Note that this spel1 lasts for a maximum of one round for each experience level of the caster, or until expended. While the spell is in effect, all creatures that could be affected by it attack with a -7 penalty to their attack rolls when engaging the spellcaster.

The reverse of the spell, dispel good, functions against summoned or enchanted creatures of good alignment or creatures that have been sent to aid the cause of good.

The material components for this spell are the priest’s religious object and holy (or unholy) water.

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

By use of a commune spell, the priest is able to contact his divinity – or agents thereof – and request information in the form of questions that can be answered by a simple “yes” or “no.” The priest is allowed one such question for every experience level he has attained. The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity’s knowledge (“I don’t know” is a legitimate answer, as powerful outer planar beings are not necessarily omniscient). Optionally, the DM may give a single short answer of five words or less. The spell will, at best, provide information to aid character decisions. Entities communed with structure their answers to further their own purposes. It is probable that the DM will limit the use of commune spells to one per adventure, one per week, or even one per month, for the greater powers dislike frequent interruptions. Likewise, if the caster lags, discusses the answers, or goes off to do anything else, the spell immediately ends.

The material components necessary to a commune spell are the priest’s religious symbol, holy (unholy) water, and incense. If a particularly potent commune is needed, a sacrifice proportionate with the difficulty of obtaining the information is required, and if the offering is insufficient, only partial or no information is gained.

Sphere: All
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: 1 person
Saving Throw: None

This spell is used by the priest to remove the burden of unwilling or unknown deeds from the person who is the subject of the atonement. The spell removes the effects of magical alignment change as well. The person seeking the atonement spell must either be truly repentant or not have been in command of his own will when the acts to be atoned for were committed. Your DM will judge this spell in this regard, noting any past instances of its use upon the person. Deliberate misdeeds and acts of knowing and willful nature cannot be atoned for with this spell (see the quest spell). A character who refuses to accept an atonement is automatically considered to have committed a willful misdeed.

The priest needs his religious symbol, prayer beads or wheel or book, and burning incense.

Sphere: Animal
Range: 80 yards
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Up to 8 animals in a 20-foot-square area
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast, the caster causes all animals, up to a maximum of eight, within a 20-foot-square area to grow to twice their normal size. The effects of this growth are doubled Hit Dice (with resultant improvement in attack potential), doubled hit points (except hit points added to Hit Dice), and doubled damage in combat. Movement and AC are not affected. The spell lasts for two rounds for each level of the caster. The spell is particularly useful in conjunction with a charm person or mammal spell.

The reverse reduces animal size by one-half, and likewise reduces Hit Dice, hit points, attack damage, etc.

The material component for this spell and its reverse is the caster’s holy symbol and a scrap of food.

Sphere: Elemental (Air)
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour +1 turn/level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None

This spell enables a creature, which can be as large as the largest giant, to tread upon air just as if it were solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill; a maximum upward angle of 45 degrees is possible at one-half the creature’s movement rate. Likewise, a maximum downward angle of 45 degrees at the normal movement rate is possible. An air-walking creature is always in control of its movement rate, save when a wind is blowing. In this case the creature gains or loses 10 feet of movement for every 10 miles per hour of wind velocity. The creature may, at the DM’s option, be subject to additional penalties, loss of control, and possible damage in exceptionally strong or turbulent winds.

The spell can be placed upon a trained mount, so it can be ridden through the air. Of course, a mount not accustomed to such movement would certainly need careful and lengthy training, the details of which are up to the DM.

The material components for the spell are the priest’s holy symbol and a bit of thistledown.

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).
