A gust of wind can move a creature up to twice the

limit of its range.

For example, if your caster level is 5 and the target’s

caster level is 6 this would increase the target’s caster

level to 8 ( 5/2 = 2 + 6 = 8 ).

Any creature, regardless of size, takes a -5 penalty

those lights.

In addition to the effects noted, a dispersing wind

can do anything that a sudden blast of wind would be

expected to do. It can create a stinging spray of sand

or dust, fan a large fire, overturn delicate awnings or

hangings, heel over a small boat, and blow gases or

vapors to the edge of its range.

Your successful melee touch attack infects the subject

with an extremely powerful poison. The poison deals

3d4 points of temporary Constitution damage immedi-

NEW SPELLBOOKS

Manual of Burials

The Manual of Burials is a plain black leather book

with no further markings. The cover and binding are

worn but the fine vellum pages contained within are in

perfect form. The handwriting within shows the effect

of age upon the writer, the beginning of the book

shows a clear and enthusiastic hand, the middle shows

writing strong and clear, while the ending passages of

the book make clear example of a palsied and with-

ered hand.

This spell creates a powerful waterspout that moves

over water at a speed of 60 feet per round. You can

concentrate on controlling the waterspout’s every

movement or specify a simple program. Directing the

waterspout’s movement or changing its programmed

movement is a standard action for you. The water-

spout always moves during your turn. If the water-

spout exceeds the spell’s range, it moves in a random,

uncontrolled fashion for 1d3 rounds and then dissi-

pates. ( You can’t regain control of the waterspout,

even if it comes back within range. )

The priest turned wizard Adolphus Marakos began

writing the Manual of Burials over ninety years ago.

The Manual details the funerary rites and practices of

more than three dozen religions and civilizations and

over the course of fifty years.

As Adolphus grew older, his obsession with death, or

the actual process of, grew more apparent, but not in

the manner that most wizards do. Instead of trying to

cheat death, or even stave it off, he sought to embrace

the physical effects of aging and its effect on the

body. He studied the effects of necrosis and decay, of

aging and the actual process of death. His knowledge

of the thing arcane, religious, and scientific gave his

mind the most basic tools to which unravel the secrets

of death. Adolphus interviewed morticians, priests,

gravediggers, and tomb robbers in his quest to under-

stand the actual processes.

Any Large or smaller creature that comes in contact

with the spell effect must succeed on a Reflex save or

take 3d6 points of damage. A Medium or smaller crea-

ture that fails its first save must succeed on a second

one or be picked up bodily by the waterspout and held

suspended, taking 1d8 points of damage each round

on your turn with no save allowed. You may direct

the waterspout to eject any carried creatures whenever

you wish, depositing the hapless souls wherever the

waterspout happens to be when they are released. If

the waterspout moves from water onto land it imme-

diately dissipates. All those in the area of the water-

Though many of the spells contained within the book

are various necromancies that are well known, other

spells are not so common. In fact, the unique spells in

the Manual normally deal with replicating effects of

the death and its process done to the body and even a

few that affect the soul.

Corpse Flesh

Necromancy [ Death, Mind-Affecting ]

Level: Sor/Wiz 3

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Personal

Effect: The caster’s flesh takes on the resilience of the

dead to damage.

Target: You

Duration: 1 min./level

Bitter Ashes

Necromancy [ Death, Mind-Affecting ]

Level: Sor/Wiz 9, Drd 9

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Close ( 25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels )

Effect: Slays one living creature and separates the

soul from the body.

Target: One living creature

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Fortitude partial, Willpower partial

Spell Resistance: Yes

Corpse Flesh is just as twisted as the others contained

within the Manual, although its effects are greatly

beneficial. The caster gains a mere glimpse of what

it feels like to be amongst the living dead as this

spell causes him to take on the pallor and rigidity of

a corpse. While under the effects of the spell, the

target’s skin becomes rubbery and slack, while his

joints become rigid. This grants him a damage reduc-

tion of 5/slashing and a +2 natural armor bonus to his

AC. However, while under the effects of this spell, the

caster is considered to be encumbered for the purposes

of movement.

This is the most deadly spell contained within the

Manual of Burial, for its effect is two-fold. The

spell either ends the biological functions of a crea-

ture or forces the soul to be separated from the body,

reducing the target’s mind to nothing more than a

useless mass of grey flesh. Even if the unfortunate

target survives the casting with mind and body intact,

they will be haunted by its effects for days after the

encounter.

Arcane Material Component: A piece of flesh from

a zombie.

Deadman’s Gaze

Necromancy [ Death, Mind-Affecting ]

Level: Sor/Wiz 1

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Personal

Effect: Enhances the caster’s sight, but his eyes take

on the wan, unblinking gaze of a corpse.

Target: One living creature

Duration: 1 min./level

The first effect slays any one living creature within

range. The target is entitled to a Fortitude saving

throw to survive the attack. If the save is successful,

the creature instead takes 3d6 points of damage +1

point per caster level ( maximum +25 ).

The second effect of the spell is much more insidious,

but just as natural. The effect emulates the natural

course of the spirit leaving a corpse once the body

has died. The very soul of the creature is stripped

from the body and sent to its proper place within

the planes. The target is entitled to a Will save to

survive the attack. If the save fails, the target’s

Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are reset

to 0. Restoring this damage can only be done with a

wish or miracle spell to call the soul back to the body,

something that even a raise dead, resurrection, or true

resurrection cannot do. If the save is successful, the

creature instead takes 1d3 points of Wisdom damage

as its mind recovers from the trauma of surviving such

a potentially horrific demise.

Deadman’s Gaze is a fine example of the Manual

of Burial’s list of unique spells. When one casts

this spell, his eyes simultaneously bulge while they

roll backwards. Dark pits form around the caster’s

optical organs while they then gain a ghastly film and

complete the ghoulish transformation. Deadman’s

Gaze grants the caster a circumstance bonus to all

his Spot and Search checks equal to +5/+1 for every

2 caster levels. Additionally, the caster gains a +5

circumstance bonus to his Intimidate score if he can

make eye contact with the creature being intimidated.

The spell does make more pleasant social contact

nearly impossible. Therefore, the gruesome nature

Arcane Material Component: A small portion of the

brain of a corpse.
