Dark Mirage
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 0
Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When Dark Mirage is cast, the shadow adept causes the outline of <PRO_HISHER> form to become blurred, shifting and wavering. This distortion causes all missile attacks against the caster to be made with a -4 penalty. Additionally, for the duration of the spell, the caster is surrounded by an illusory duplicate of <PRO_HIMHER>self, copying ann their actions. Since the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when cast, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the illusions and which is the actual shadow adept. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attack—magical or otherwise—it reforms after a brief moment. However, it is important to note that this will not protect the caster against every attack, as it is possible for an enemy to choose the real caster amongst all the images.

From 13th level onwards, this spell generates two duplicates, and from 18th level onwards, it generates three.

Night Terrors
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

All enemies within the area of effect when this spell is cast must Save vs. Spell at -2 or flee in terror. Certain creatures are immune to the effects of fear, including all undead.

Targets that are mentally incapacitated (stunned, panic, berserk, charmed, feebleminded, confused) incur 12 magic damage, which are transferred to the caster.

Deceive Alignment
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: Self
Duration: 8 hours
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

Using this spell, the shadow adept may choose to temporarily change to any alignment of their choice for eight hours. For all intents and purposes, the caster is treated as though they are of the selected alignment to determine reactions, spell effects and item restrictions. Any alignment-detecting magic will also detect the caster as being of their false alignment. After eight hours, the caster's alignment is reverted to normal.

Shadowfade
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

This spell causes the creature touched to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. The caster cannot perform any actions that manipulate the environment around <PRO_HIMHER>, such as opening doors, disarming a trap, or opening a chest. The caster can, however, cast defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self and fellow party members. And if <PRO_HESHE> attacks, <PRO_HESHE> immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables <PRO_HIMHER> to attack first.

Additionally, if the target is either a shadow adept or a native of the Shadow Plane, they are healed for 1d6 hit points (+1d6 per five caster levels).

Hallucinate
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 person or mammal
Saving Throw: Neg.

The target of this spell must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or come under its effects. When under the effects of the Hallucinate spell, the victim experiences a disruption of their senses causing them to perceive something that is not actually there, causing them to randomly wander, attack the nearest person, or stand confused.

Targets that are mentally incapacitated (stunned, panic, berserk, charmed, feebleminded, confused) incur 16 magic damage, which are transferred to the caster.

Shadow Walk
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 0
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell transports the caster to any place within the visual range of the caster. When the spell is cast, the shadow adept makes a brief planar jaunt into the Plane of Shadow and exits at a different location, making it seem as though <PRO_HESHE> has teleported. The caster is also briefly invisible for the travel duration, cancelling spells targeted at <PRO_HIMHER> unless the spellcaster can see through invisibility.

Negative Energy Ray
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 15 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, a black ray appears at the caster's fingertips and bursts out towards one target of the caster's choice. That target will be hit by the ray for 3d6 points of magical damage and suffers a -1 penalty to Armor Class, THAC0 and damage for 1 turn. The ray strikes a second time halfway through its duration, dealing the same amount of damage and applying a second instance of penalties. The caster may move while the spell is in effect. There is no saving throw against this spell's effects.

Black Mist
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 90 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 50' radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

When this spell is cast, a thick shadowy mist spreads across the area selected by the caster. Any creatures caught within the mist must make a Save vs. Spells at -2 at the beginning of each round or become blinded for that round, receiving a -4 penalty to their Armor Class and attack rolls and greatly reducing their vision range. Those who make successful Saving Throws can leave the mist without suffering any ill effects, although those remaining in the mist must continue to save each round. A Dispel Magic will remove the blindness on a particular character, but if they remain in the mist, then they are still subject to its effects.

Lesser Drain Vitality
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell allows the shadow adept to drain two hit points per level from the target as magic damage (Save vs. Death at -2 for half), healing <PRO_HIMHER>self for the same amount. Drain Vitality (and its variants) does not cost hit points as other spells. Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) do not make a Saving Throw.

Level: 2
Range: Self
Duration: 1 turn/level

Cursed Flames
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: Visual range
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Special

When the shadow adept casts this spell, <PRO_HESHE> ignites a targeted creature through force of will with corrupting flames. The flames deal 1d8 fire damage and 1 poison damage each round, and for the duration of the spell, the target is treated as though diseased and is slowed, incurring a -4 penalty to THAC0 and Armor Class. The initial flames last for 3 rounds, after which the target must make a Saving Throw vs. Death or be ignited for a further 3 rounds. Therefore, the flames have the potential to continue indefinitely so long as the target does not make a successful Saving Throw.

Power Word, Sleep
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 90 ft.
Duration: 5 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

When a shadow adept calls upon a Power Word, Sleep spell, <PRO_HESHE> causes a comatose slumber to come upon 1 creature (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). The creature targeted must have less than 20 Hit Points and gets no Saving Throw. Magically sleeping opponents can be attacked with substantial bonuses. The Sleep effect will last for 5 rounds. This spell has no effect on creatures with more than 20 Hit Points.

At 10th level, creatures above 20 Hit Points are put to sleep for 2 rounds. This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance.

Dark Fortune

Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

The recipient of this spell gains extraordinary luck for the next hour, receiving a +1 bonus to <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throws, attack rolls, and minimum damage/healing rolls as well as +5% to all thieving skills. Furthermore, damage dice for all effects outside a weapon's base damage dealt towards the target is reduced by 1, while the target's damage dice are increased by 1. For example, a 6d6 fireball will do 6d5 damage, and a flaming long sword that deals 1d8+2 slashing plus 1d3 fire damage will deal 1d8+2 slashing plus 1d2 fire damage instead. Bonuses increase by the original amount for every five caster levels after 3rd level up to 23rd level. This spell also makes the target immune to effects that reduce luck, such as Doom or Greater Malison.

Sigil of Mortality
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 2
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell curses the target creature with mortality. For as long as the curse is in effect, the target loses their base physical resistance, if any, and incurs an additional -20% penalty to physical resistance for the duration. Additionally, the target is unable to be healed through any means, whether magical or otherwise. There is no Saving Throw for the effect, and it ignores Magic Resistance.

Darkbolt
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 0
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Special

The target's Magic Resistance, which does not affect this spell, is also nullified for one turn.

Shades
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: Special
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1

2nd Set: Project Image, Cacofiend, Pierce Shield, Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting, Bigby's Clenched Fist.

Dark Meteor
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 270 ft.
Duration: 8 rounds
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

Only the most desperate of Shadow Adepts dare to call upon this dangerous spell. The caster calls upon a gigantic, meteoric mass of shadowstuff from the Plane of Shadow and drops it upon the target location. Any creature with less than 12 Hit Die are killed instantly with no Saving Throw, while other creatures must make a Saving Throw vs. Breath or die. The meteor deals 5d10 fire damage, 5d10 cold damage, 5d10 electrical damage and 5d10 magic damage to any survivors, knocks them unconscious for 1 round, and reduces their Saving Throws and Luck by -10 for 8 rounds. The strain of channelling this spell, however, causes the caster to lose 50% of their current hit points and become unable to cast spells for four rounds.

This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance.

Mass Greater Drain Vitality
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: Area centered on caster
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 15-ft. radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell inflicts the effects of the Greater Drain Vitality spell upon every enemy creature within the area of effect, draining six hit points per level from the target as magic damage (Save vs. Death at -2 to avoid), healing <PRO_HIMHER>self for the same amount. Mass Greater Drain Vitality (and its variants) does not cost hit points as other spells. Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) do not make a Saving Throw.

Fiery Pandemonium
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 270 ft.
Duration: 6 rounds
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

When the caster utters the words to this powerful spell, <PRO_HESHE> calls upon powerful forces indeed. These forces bring forth a storm of shadow fire, dealing 6d10 magical fire and magical damage per round with no Saving Throw. Additionally, anyone within the storm must make a Saving Throw vs. Death each round or be petrified permanently. If a statue created by this spell is subjected to attacks of any sort, it will shatter into tiny pieces, making it impossible for the creature to be returned to flesh. The caster is well advised to be careful in <PRO_HISHER> use of this spell.

This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance.

Oblivion Pull
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 3 rounds
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 1 creature and any creature within 7.5 ft.
Saving Throw: Special

When Oblivion Pull is cast, the shadow adept launches a tiny, fast-moving projectile towards a target which opens a portal using the target's body as a catalyst. When this happens, the portal pulls it and all other creatures within a 7.5 ft. radius into it and sends them to a small pocket in the Plane of Shadow where they are trapped indefinitely. The victim remains there unless the spell "Freedom" is cast. If a Freedom spell is cast in the area where the creature was imprisoned, then <PRO_HESHE> will reappear exactly where <PRO_HESHE> was last standing. Dispel Magic will not free creatures trapped in this manner. There is no Saving Throw against imprisonment for the target, but creatures within a 7.5 ft. radius may make a Save vs. Spells at -6 to resist being pulled into the portal.

Death Mark
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 0
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Special

This horrific spell marks a specific target with a curse that dooms them to an inevitable end. The victim suffers 15% of their maximum hit points in damage on the first round with no save. On the next round, they must make another Saving Throw vs. Death at -8 or suffer the same amount of damage, then on the next round, make another saving throw at -7, and so on until a save modifier of zero. The curse remains indefinitely until the target is either killed, the curse is dispelled or resisted, or a successful save is made.

Weird
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 0
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special

You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the affected creatures see the phantasmal creatures attacking them, though you see the attackers as shadowy shapes. The target first gets a Save vs. Spells at -4 to recognize the image as unreal. If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and the subject must succeed on a Save vs. Death at -2 or die from fear. If a subject succeeds, it still takes 3d6 points of damage and is stunned for 1 round. The subject also takes 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage.

If the target is mentally incapacitated (stunned, panic, berserk, charmed, feebleminded, confused), they are only allowed to make a Saving Throw vs. Death.

Black Blade of Disaster
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 0
Duration: 18 rounds
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell enables the caster to create a black, blade-shaped planar rift about three feet long. It jumps into the caster's hand and is used as a normal sword, remaining there for the duration of the spell. The caster is considered to be proficient to the point of Grand Mastery in this weapon. The sword acts as a +5 weapon and deals 2-24 damage to its victims. Also, every time it hits a target, the victim must make a Save vs. Death at +4 or be disintegrated. There is also a 10% chance with every hit that the sword drains 4 levels from the target and heals the wielder 20 Hit Points.

Enervation
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

The casting of this spell opens a channel between the caster's plane and the Negative Energy Plane. The caster of the spell acts as a conduit between the two planes, sucking life from a victim and transferring it to the Negative Energy Plane, draining the target of two levels of experience every round for four rounds. A Saving Throw vs. Death at -4 can be made to avoid losing levels after the first round. The target of this spell loses levels, Hit Dice, Hit Points, and abilities permanently. These levels can only be restored by a priest's Restoration spell. Additionally, the caster is restored of 1-4 lost spells of 8th level or below for every instance of level loss of the target. Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) are not allowed a Saving Throw.

Nightsinger's Tithe
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

When Nightsinger's Tithe is uttered, one creature within the spell range is slain. The target must have 60 or fewer current Hit Points, otherwise the spell has no effect. There is no Saving Throw. Creatures slain by this spell have their souls sent to the Plane of Shadow as a sacrifice to Shar. If the target is physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded), they take 120 magic damage.

There is an 50% chance that killing a target with this spell will permanently bestow 1 bonus hit point to the caster. Once 50 enemies have been slain with this spell, the shadow adept permanently gains +2 to Constitution, +1 to all saves and -1 casting time, and further castings of this spell will no longer grant hit points.

Umbral Stasis
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 9
Range: 0
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This powerful spell causes the shadow adept to partially shift to the Plane of Shadow at the exact same point as he was, creating an effect identical to the Time Stop spell. The caster may move freely for 3 rounds in terms of time in the Plane of Shadow while time stands still in the Prime Material Plane. Additionally, the shadow adept's casting speed is increased by 4 and <PRO_HISHER> movement rate is doubled for the duration of the spell.

Negastorm
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 2 rounds
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: 1/2

This spell summons a shower of negative energy upon a targeted location, inflicting 1d4 cold damage per level plus 20% of their maximum hit points in damage (+2% per caster level after 16th level) over two rounds as well as draining one level and one point of strength for each instance of damage dealt. Affected creatures are allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to avoid the cold damage and loss of levels (but not strength). Effects last for 1 turn.

The negastorm lasts for 2 rounds and does not affect allies. If an enemy enters the negastorm after the first round, they only suffer half of the effects.

Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius cloud

Any in the area of the spell must leave the blizzard immediately or suffer 6d4 magical cold damage per round and become slowed for two rounds. Additionally, all creatures must make a Save vs. Spells at -2 each round or be paralyzed for that round.

This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance, but creatures immune to cold are unaffected.

Invoke Reflection
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 2 turns
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special

A duplicate of the target is created with this spell. The duplicate is almost identical to the target, making it a very powerful ally. It is created at 60% of the target's level and has all the spells and abilities that the target would have at that level. It also has 60% of the target's Hit Points and is fully under the caster's control. Enemies can make a Saving Throw vs. Spells at -3 to avoid the spell's effect.

Dark Passage
(Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: Party
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

This powerful but dangerous spell temporarily turns the caster into a gateway for the energies of the Shadow Weave, which <PRO_HESHE> may control and bestow upon <PRO_HISHER> allies within 20' in range for as long as <PRO_HESHE> can maintain it. For an indefinite amount of time, the shadow adept is unable to make any actions as <PRO_HESHE> channels power into <PRO_HISHER> party, providing a +4 bonus to all attributes, +6 to Armor Class, +4 to to-hit and damage modifiers, +50% magic resistance, +50% resistance to elemental damage and immunity to level drain. However, for each round the link is maintained, the caster loses 10% of <PRO_HISHER> hit points (Save vs. Death at -4 to avoid) and <PRO_HESHE> is completely vulnerable to attack unless <PRO_HESHE> breaks the connection. Additionally, if <PRO_HESHE> ends the channel, the backlash causes <PRO_HIMHER> to become stunned for 2 rounds unless a Save vs. Death at -2 is made.

Dark Premonition
(Divination – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: Self
Duration: 4 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell grants the caster with a brief and short-sighted degree of prescience, enough to predict events in the immediate future and react to them in advance. For 4 rounds, the shadow adept gains a bonus of 20 to Armor Class, a +20 bonus to hit, +20 to all saves and immunity to backstabs. Due to this spell's short casting time and duration, it is mainly used to buy the shadow adept a few rounds in the thick of combat.

Shadow's Refuge
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: 0
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When a shadow adept casts Shadow's Refuge, <PRO_HESHE> opens a gate to a safe (in relative terms) pocket area in the Plane of Shadow, where time passes more slowly and gives <PRO_HIMHER> time to rest and recuperate away from the present battle. For one turn, the shadow adept is safe from combat and <PRO_HISHER> hit points are restored to full, and <PRO_HESHE> regains two arcane spells of each spell level of 7th level and below when <PRO_HESHE> returns. In addition, as the caster will be resting for a long period of time, all effects whether beneficial or otherwise will be removed when they return.

The shadow adept may choose to return from the refuge before its duration has expired, but <PRO_HESHE> will only get partial benefits.

Shar's Mantle
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: 0
Duration: 1 round/4 levels
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: The caster

Additionally, attackers within a 5-ft. radius will suffer 10% of their maximum hit points in damage, transferring the same amount to the caster, as well as losing one level permanently if they fail a Save vs. Death at -2.

Blackfire Fury
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: 0
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: 1/2

The shadow adept conjures a rift from the Shadow Plane beneath the target's feet, which unleashes black fire after a short delay dealing 10d10 magical fire damage (Save vs. Spells at -4 for half damage). This damage is not mitigated by fire resistance and ignores magic resistance.

If a creature is slain by this spell, it is burned to ash completely and its remaining consciousness becomes a Blackfire Vessel, which immediately charges towards the nearest enemy and explodes on a successful attack, dealing 5d6 unmitigated fire damage to all enemies within a 5-ft. radius before becoming assimilated into the Shadow Plane.

Shadow Shield
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 8
Range: 0
Duration: 2 turns

Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell shrouds the shadow adept in a cloak of shadow that protects <PRO_HIMHER> with the following effects: +5 bonus to AC, immunity to magic damage, 20% magic and physical resistance.

Duration: 6 rounds
Casting Time: 1

The spellcaster selects one creature as the target center, and the effect spreads outward from the center, affecting all within a 10-ft. radius. This lasts for 6 rounds or until dispelled. All of the effects of blindness apply to the victims, such as a penalty to hit and to AC. The visibility range of the afflicted character is also decreased. This spell is not effected by magic resistance.

15 to 17 - 2d4 rounds

This will always remove the highest-level spell protection affecting the target; if more than one same-level protection is active on the target simultaneously, one of them will be randomly chosen and dispelled.

Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 8 rounds
Casting Time: 9

There is a 50% chance of spawning a Shadow, a 20% chance of spawning a Shadow Fiend, a 20% chance of spawning a Wraith and a 10% chance of spawning a Shadow of the Void each turn. The Shadow Gate may be targeted and destroyed by enemies, though it is immune to elemental damage as well as weapons of +1 enchantment and below.

Possess
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 10 turns
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

When the shadow adept casts Possess, <PRO_HESHE> attempts to forcibly take control of one creature within <PRO_HISHER> visual range. The target must make as Saving Throw vs. Spells at -7 or become directly controlled by the caster. The shadow adept loses control of <PRO_HISHER> body but may see through the eyes of <PRO_HISHER> target and use spells and abilities available to them. Additionally, the possessed target's Strength, Dexterity and Constitution are increased to 25 while they are possessed. Possess may not be dispelled and the target only regains control over their own body once the duration has ended or if the caster chooses to relinquish control of <PRO_HISHER> own volition.

Once the duration expires, the vertigo and shock of suddenly regaining control causes the target to suffer 5d10 non-lethal damage and fall unconscious for 5 rounds (no save).

Nightmare
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 5 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 15-ft. radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

Nightmare is both a deadly weapon and a horrific torture device. When the shadow adept casts this spell, <PRO_HESHE> causes all creatures within a 15-ft. radius to fall into a deep sleep and become tormented with terrible nightmares. For each round that the target remains asleep, they must make a Save vs. Spell at -4 to wake up from the nightmare. If the save is failed, they must make a Save vs. Death at -2 or lose 10% of their hit points. Once 5 rounds have passed, the victim awakens from their nightmare without needing a save.

Vengeful Shade
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

This powerful and dangerous spell has the power to temporarily revive dead allies. For 1 turn, the target ally is resurrected with full hit points and dramatically increased power - the resurrected ally is hasted for the duration, Strength and Dexterity are set to 25, base AC is set to -6 and target gains immunity to all mind-affecting spells. The target deals maximum damage for the duration of the spell and their casting speed is increased by 4. However, this spell does not truly resurrect the target - once the spell has expired, the target dies again, regardless of their current hit points.

Greater Drain Vitality
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell allows the shadow adept to drain six hit points per level from the target as magic damage (Save vs. Death at -2 to avoid), healing <PRO_HIMHER>self for the same amount. Greater Drain Vitality (and its variants) does not cost hit points as other spells. Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) do not make a Saving Throw.

Shadowplague
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)
Level: 7
Range: Long
Duration: 6 rounds
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Target, and enemies within 30'
Saving Throw: Special

When the caster utters the spell, he calls forth a swarm of venomous biting and stinging shadow creatures to plague the target. This carpet-like mass swarms over a large area, spreading to all creatures within 30 feet of the target. Invisibility is no protection.

For the duration of the spell, those affected fight with a -2 penalty to attack rolls and armor class. In addition, each round, the victims suffer 2d6 points of damage from bites, have a 100% chance of spell failure, and must make saving throws vs. Death at -2 or run away in fear. If a successful Save vs. breath at -6 is made, the target manages to avoid most of the swarm, reducing damage from bites by half and completely negating the spell failure penalty.

This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance.

Sword of the Night
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: 0
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, the shadow adept brings into being a shimmering, sword-like plane of force that leaps into <PRO_HISHER> hands. The sword acts as a +4 weapon in all respects and deals 3d4 points of slashing damage and 2d4 cold damage upon hitting a target. Once the spell is cast, the sword will float in the air completely under the caster's control. This does not prevent the caster from doing any other actions during the spell's duration.

Power Word, Stun
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1

30 to 59 Hit Points: Stunned for 2d4 rounds;
60 to 89 Hit Points: Stunned for 1d4 rounds;
90 or more Hit Points: unaffected.
Note that if a creature is weakened so that its Hit Points are below its usual maximum, the current number of Hit Points is used to determine this spell's effects. This spell ignores magic resistance.

Shadowspray
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)

Level: 7
Range: 60 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 70-ft.-long cone
Saving Throw: Special

When casting this spell, the shadow adept unleashes a wave of shadow fire from <PRO_HISHER> hand. Any creature with fewer than 8 Hit Dice struck by a wave is blinded for 5 rounds, regardless of any other effect. Additionally, the fire is chaotic in nature, and may cause random effects as per the Prismatic Spray spell:

- Inflicts 20 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half.
- Inflicts 40 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half.
- Inflicts 80 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half.
- Save vs. Poison or die; survivors take 20 points of poison damage.

(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: 0
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 5-ft. radius sphere
Saving Throw: None

This spell creates an immobile, faintly shimmering magical sphere around the caster that prevents any 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-level spell effects from penetrating (i.e., the area of effect of any such spells does not include the area of the Globe of Invulnerability). This includes innate abilities and effects from devices. However, any type of spell can be cast out of the magical sphere, and these pass from the caster of the globe to their subject without affecting the globe. 5th- and higher level spells are not affected by the globe, and magical attacks of 5th-level or higher, such as Spellstrike and Pierce Magic, can bring it down.

Additionally, the shadow adept gains 20% magic resistance as long as the globe is up.

Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: 1/2

This spell conjures a thorned, magical rose that wraps itself around the caster's chosen target, dealing 6d6 piercing damage. If the target fails a Saving Throw vs. Spells at -6, they lose an additional 20% of their maximum hit points and become entangled for 1 turn, receiving a -2 penalty to Armor Class, THAC0 and casting time. Additionally, the target must make another Save vs. Spells every round or suffer an additional 2d6 piercing damage until the rose vanishes. If the target is physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) , they take an additional 35 magic damage, which is transferred to the caster, and are drained of four levels.

Disintegrate
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

When this spell is cast at another creature, a thin purple ray is shot out. Upon contact with the ray, the creature must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell at -2 or be transformed into dust. This transformation is instantaneous and irreversible. There is also a good chance that this will destroy some if not all of the items that the creature is carrying. If the target survives the process, they still take 6d6 magic damage.

Targets slain by this spell will be raised as a wraith under the caster's control for 5 turns.

Umbral Blades

Level: 6
Range: Self
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special

The shadow adept employs this spell to set up a ring of circling, razor sharp blades. These whirl and flash around the caster, providing a bonus of 4 Armor Class against melee weapons and dealing damage to enemies in range every round. Any creature attempting to pass through the blades will suffer 6d8 points of damage and lose 1 point of Strength for 1 turn. Creatures within the area of the barrier when it is invoked are entitled to a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the damage. The barrier remains for 1 turn.

Shatter Weave
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: 1/2

When this spell is cast upon a target creature there will be two major effects. The first is that it will dispel one spell protection of 8th level or lower from the creature. This will always dispel the highest level of spell protection on the target first. If the target has two or more protections tied for the highest level, the choice will be random. The second effect of the spell is that the creature's magic resistance is temporary nullified. The resistance remains lowered for 2 rounds, and this effect cannot be negated in any way. Additionally, mages will take 10d4 magic damage and suffer from a 50% chance of spell failure for 2 rounds. Spells affected by Pierce Magic are Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, and Globe of Invulnerability. The target's magic resistance, if any, does not affect this spell.

Black Lightning
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: 1/2

When the shadow adept casts Black Lightning, arcs of electrical energy burst from <PRO_HISHER> fingertips. These brilliant arcs of lightning leap at all enemies near the caster, burning them with electrical and fire damage. The lightning causes 1d6 points of damage for every 2 levels of the caster and causes targets to go berserk for 3 rounds. If the target of the lightning saves vs. Spell, they avoid berserking and only half damage is inflicted. Thus, a 12th-level shadow adept will cause 6d6 (half electrical, half fire) damage to a victim (3d6 electrical if the victim makes <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throw vs. Spell).

Power Word, Silence
(Conjuration/Summoning – Shadow Weave)

Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

In using this spell, the shadow adept points at an individual and utters the Power Word. For the next 7 rounds, that creature cannot make any sound. This silence completely foils any spells that require verbal components. The only ways to counter this spell are either a Dispel Magic or a Vocalize spell. There is no Saving Throw and the spell ignores magic resistance.

Protection From Weave-forged Weapons
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: 0
Duration: 4 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all magical weapons created using Weave magic. This includes weapons that are blessed or enchanted. The attacks of powerful monsters are also considered magical weapons. This spell cannot be cast on anyone who is protected from normal weapons as well as anyone protected by Mantle, Improved Mantle, or Absolute Immunity. Due to the nature of this spell, with the short casting time and duration, it is mainly used to buy the shadow adept a few rounds in the thick of combat. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.

Twin Mislead
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 6
Range: 0
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast, the shadow adept is affected by an Improved Invisibility spell and is teleported a few feet away from <PRO_HISHER> original position. Meanwhile, an exact image of the caster is created where <PRO_HESHE> used to be, with exactly the same Hit Points as the caster. The image cannot perform any actions at all, such as attacking or casting spells. It can, however, move around and act as a decoy for the invisible shadow adept. The image will remain under control of the caster until reduced to 0 Hit Points, or until affected by a Dispel Magic or a spell that reveals illusions, such as True Sight.

After 3 rounds have passed, a second decoy is spontaneously created, regardless of whether or not the first has been destroyed.

Cone of Bitter Cold
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

It drains heat and causes 1d6 magic cold damage. For example, a 10th-level shadow adept would deal 10d6 (Save vs. Spell at -2 for half) magic cold damage. Targets who fail their saving throw are also slowed and take 1d6 extra magic cold damage per round for 2 rounds + 1 round per 4 caster levels.

Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) do not make a Saving Throw.

Level: 5
Range: 45 ft.
Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell conjures forth a nighthaunt, an undead monster from the Shadow Plane. Nighthaunts are deadly creatures that emit an aura of desecration, reducing the THAC0 and damage of all nearby living creatures by two points while increasing THAC0 and damage of all undead creatures by two points. Its natural weapon is capable of draining one level on hit on a failed Save vs. Death and strikes as a +3 weapon. However, nighthaunts are greatly weakened in natural daylight. From 16th level onwards, two nighthaunts are summoned instead.

The nighthaunt is fully under the control of the caster for the duration of the spell and will follow all of <PRO_HISHER> orders until the duration has expired.

This spell is similar to Invisibility, but the recipient is able to attack by missile discharge, melee combat, or spellcasting while remaining unseen. However, telltale traces - a shimmering - allow an observant opponent to attack the invisible spell recipient. These traces are only noticeable when specifically looked for (after the invisible character has made <PRO_HISHER> presence known). Attacks against the invisible character suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls, and the invisible character's Saving Throws are made with a +4 bonus. For the duration of the spell, the shadow adept is also able to backstab with a x2 multiplier, increased to x3 at level 14 and x4 at level 21.

Additionally, the caster's movement rate is doubled, allowing for a quick retreat from battle if necessary.

Black Ooze
(Conjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level; 4
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemy within 7.5 ft.
Saving Throw: 1/2

With this spell, the shadow adept conjures a glob of shadowy, vaporous ooze from the Plane of Shadow and drops it on the target, dealing 6d6 acid damage to them and any nearby targets, holding them for 1 round (no save) then slowing them and reducing their magic resistance by 20% for 1 turn. Targets who make a Saving Throw vs. Death at -2 take half damage and avoid the secondary effects.

This spell is unaffected by Magic Resistance, but creatures that are immune to acid are unaffected.

Negative Immunity
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 turn/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throws: None

This spell grants the target immunity to blindness, fear, sleep, confusion and level drain for 1 turn per level of the caster.

Dread Whispers
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 5 rounds
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: 30 ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

Dread Whispers causes all enemies within range to become afflicted by an ominous chorus of voices infesting their mind. The voices are distracting, causing 50% spell failure on targets. In addition, at the beginning of every round after the first, the target must make a Save vs. Spell at -6 or lose morale, running in panic for 1 round.

Drain Vitality
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell allows the shadow adept to drain four hit points per level from the target as magic damage (Save vs. Death at -2 to avoid), healing <PRO_HIMHER>self for the same amount. Drain Vitality (and its variants) does not cost hit points as other spells. Targets who are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded) do not make a Saving Throw.

Phantasmal Killer
(Illusion/Phantasm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Special

The caster creates a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal killer. The target first gets a Save vs. Spells to recognize the image as unreal. If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and the subject must succeed on a Save vs. Death at +2 or die from fear. Even if the second save is successful, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage.

If the target is mentally incapacitated (stunned, panic, berserk, charmed, feebleminded, confused), they are only allowed to make a Saving Throw vs. Death.

Shar's Blessing
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: 0
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: One target
Saving Throw: None

Through this spell, the caster draws upon energy from the Plane of Shadow to imbue a single target with the strength and skill of a Fighter of the same level. The shadow adept's Strength score is increased by four points, <PRO_HISHER> THAC0 becomes that of a Fighter of the same level, <PRO_HESHE> gains one extra attack per round and <PRO_HESHE> gains 1 temporary Hit Point per level. This will last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. However, for the duration of the spell, the target incurs a penalty of 4 to their casting speed, and takes 3% of their maximum hit points in damage each round.

From 14th level onwards, the caster's attacks per round are doubled instead.

Summon Shadow
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)
Level: 4
Range: Long
Duration: 2 hours
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster summons a number of shadows, undead monsters which serve the mage under any conditions. The type and number of creatures that appear depend upon the level of the shadow adept casting the spell.

7th: 3 Shadows
9th: 3 Shadow Fiends
12th+ : 3 Wraiths
16th+ : 1 Shadow of the Void

The undead creatures will remain under the shadow adept's control until they are slain or the spell duration expires.

NOTE: Due to being creatures of the Plane of Shadow, shadows are weakened in natural daylight.

Sigil of Misfortune
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: 50 ft.
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

The spell allows the caster to adversely affect all the Saving Throws of <PRO_HISHER> enemies. The effect is applied to all hostile creatures within the area of effect. Opponents under the influence of this spell make all Saving Throws and attack rolls at a penalty of -4.

This spell is not affected by Magic Resistance.

Shadeskin
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 4
Range: 0
Duration: 12 hours
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When a shadow adept casts this powerful spell upon <PRO_HIMHER>self, an outer skin of shadowstuff will move up from the ground, completely covering <PRO_HIMHER>. This skin is of course magical and will hinder the shadow adept in no way. The effect of this is to protect the shadow adept from physical attacks such as melee weapons and projectiles. For every 2 levels of the caster, an additional skin is gained upon casting. For example, a 10th-level shadow adept would receive 5 skins while a 20th-level shadow adept would receive 10. For each skin the shadow adept possesses, the spell will stop one attack, so a 10th-level shadow adept would be protected from the first 5 attacks made against <PRO_HIMHER>, but the 6th would affect <PRO_HIMHER> normally. The skins will remain on the shadow adept until <PRO_HESHE> is affected by a Dispel Magic, all of the skins are removed due to physical attacks, or the spell duration expires. It is important to note that this will not protect the shadow adept from any magical attacks, such as Fireball.

Additionally, so long as at least one layer of Shadeskin is active, the shadow adept gains 25% resistance to acid, cold, fire, electrical and magic damage.

Phantom Arrow
(Illusion/Phantasm, Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 60 ft.
Duration: 3 rounds
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell launches an illusory arrow that affects the target's senses to such an extent that they perceive the damage dealt as real, losing 15% of their maximum hit points in unmitigated damage. However, as they are not physically injured, their lost hit points are restored after 3 rounds as the illusion wears off. However, if the afflicted target is mentally incapacitated (stunned, panic, berserk, charmed, feebleminded, confused), the damage dealt is permanent instead. Two arrows are launched from 12th level onwards, three at 19th level, and four at 26th level. The target may make a Saving Throw vs. Spells at -3 to disbelieve the illusion, though a separate save must be made for each individual arrow.

Void Edge
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: Self
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: Self
Saving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, the shadow adept imbues <PRO_HISHER> next melee attack with shadow magic, providing it with a +5 enchantment bonus and the ability to drain 2 hit points per level as magic damage.

Sunder Magic
(Abjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

A Sunder Magic spell removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the effective level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled (Sunder Magic is cast as though at 1.5x the caster's actual level). The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the Sunder Magic is above the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Sunder Magic is below the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 5% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 5% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster.

Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect.

Cursed Earth
(Conjuration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 90 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 30' radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell creates a zone of blackened, poisonous earth within a 30' radius. All creatures standing within the area must make a Saving Throw vs. Death at -4 each round or become poisoned, suffering 2 poison damage per round for 3 rounds, and have their movement rate halved.

Shadow Spear
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 70 ft.
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Path of spear
Saving Throw: Neg.

Upon casting this spell, a spear made of shadowstuff forms in the caster's hands, which can be thrown once towards a target of the caster's choosing. The spear may be launched by any target the caster is able to attack, dispelling all of the spell protections of 5th level and lower affecting it. This includes the following spells: Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, and Minor Spell Turning. If no such spells protect the targets, the spear instead deals 5d6 magic damage and inflicts an additional effect dependent on the caster's level.

5th level and below: Reduces targets' Armor Class by two points for five rounds
8th-10th level: Reduces targets' saving throws and THAC0 by 1 point for five rounds
11th-13th level: Halves targets' Dexterity for one turn
14th-16th level: Drains two levels from targets for one turn
17th level and above: Instantly kills targets

The spear is not affected by Magic Resistance. Targets may make a Saving Throw vs. Death (-1 per spear upgrade) to avoid all secondary effects.

Impose
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 1 round
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

This spell launches a blast of invisible force towards a target, dealing 3d6 crushing damage and knocking them away from the caster as well as stunning them for 1 round. There is no saving throw.

Shadow Binding
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 35 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell holds one creature of any type rigidly immobile and in place for one turn, unless a Saving Throw vs. Spell is made with a -3 penalty. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell.

Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subject's condition due to wounds, diseases, or poison.

Shadow Comets
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 0
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell creates several small globes of shadowy matter, two for each experience level of the shadow adept, which are held in <PRO_HISHER> hands in place of <PRO_HISHER> usual weapons. The meteors can be hurled at targets up to 270 feet away and are treated as missiles with a +5 bonus to the attack rolls. Each meteor bursts into a 1-ft. diameter sphere upon impact, inflicting 1d4+3 points of damage plus an additional 3 points of cold damage to any creature struck. The shadow adept may hurl up to five missiles per round.

Beguile
(Enchantment/Charm – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 60 ft.
Duration: 5 rounds
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell works in the exact same manner as Charm Person, with one difference: There is no Saving Throw bonus. Beguile affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect.

If the spell's recipient fails <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throw, <PRO_HESHE> regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give <PRO_HIMHER> orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible.

If the caster harms - or attempts to harm - the charmed person by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic spell is cast upon the charmed person, the Beguile spell is broken. If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while <PRO_HESHE> was charmed. Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where <PRO_HESHE> is charmed.

The saving throw penalty increases by -1 for every 5 caster levels.

Lifedrinker Touch
(Necromancy – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: Touch
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

When this spell is cast, the target loses 1d6 Hit Points for every 2 caster levels, to a maximum drain of 6d6 for a 12th-level caster. In addition, the target transfers 3 points of either Strength, Dexterity or Constitution to the caster. The Hit Points are added to the caster's current Hit Points, with any Hit Points over the caster's normal maximum treated as temporary additional Hit Points. The temporary Hit Points and statistics last for 1 hour.

Note: This spell may not be cast multiple times to radically increase the caster's Hit Points. The caster must wait for the first Lifedrinker Touch spell to run its course before casting another.

Inertia
(Alteration – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 25 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: Neg.

This spell causes creatures to move and attack at half of their normal rates. It negates Haste, but does not otherwise affect magically hasted or slowed creatures. Slowed creatures have an Armor Class and attack penalty of -4. Creatures save at -4 vs. Spell. Targets must also make an initial Save vs. Spells or be slowed to a halt, becoming held for 1 round.

Shadowblast
(Invocation/Evocation – Shadow Weave)

Level: 3
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
Saving Throw: 1/2

The shadow adept launches an unstable mass of shadowstuff which explodes, dealing 1d2 points of magic cold damage (undead creatures suffer magic fire damage instead) and 1d2 points of magic damage for every level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d2 of each) and penalizes their saving throws and attack rolls by -1 per 10 levels of the caster (-2 at 10th level, -3 at 20th level, etc.) for 1 turn. Creatures who pass their saving throw (-1 penalty per 5 levels) avoid the direct blast taking no magic damage or stat loss. Targets damaged by Shadowblast also suffer a -20% penalty to all damage dealt for 1 turn.

Against targets that are physically incapacitated (held, asleep, silenced, poisoned, diseased, slowed, blinded), Shadowblast inflicts three times as much damage.
