Handy Spells

The following spells are still in the works.

IOUN GRASP
School transmutation
Level bard 6, cleric/oracle 6, inquisitor 6, magus 6, occultist 6, psychic 6, shaman 6, spiritualist 6, sorcerer/wizard 6, summoner/unchained summoner 6, witch 6
Casting Time 1 free action
Components S
Range personal
Target you
Duration 1 hour (D)

As a standard action, you can target an orbiting ioun stone with the abrupt maneuver of a pilfering hand as a supernatural ability, based on the caster level and spellcasting ability score of this spell's effect. Any ioun stone you successfully pull and don't catch, can enter your orbit or embed itself as you choose, in an ioun slot (if any) of an object you openly possess. Any ioun stone you displace from its slot by doing so, enters your orbit.

The remaining duration of this spell's effect is reduced by 10 minutes following each use of the aforementioned supernatural ability it grants. Multiple instances of this spell's effect upon the same target, become a single effect based on the highest caster level, highest spellcasting ability score and longest remaining duration among them.

GAUNTLET, IOUN (Magic Weapon Alteration)
A magnificent gauntlet featuring six sockets typically distributed behind its knuckles and upon its back side.
Base Item Any +1 (or better) gauntlet lacking ioun slots.
Price +6,000 gp; Slot one hand; Weight no change; CL 12th; Aura strong transmutation
Properties As the base item with six ioun slots. An ioun stone embedded in any such slot, provides its effect to the gauntlet's wearer. As an immediate action, this gauntlet's wearer can snap his or her fingers to pull up to six ioun stones from his or her own orbit and embed them as desired into the gauntlet's ioun slots. Any ioun stones so displaced, return to orbit around that gauntlet's wearer. The gauntlet's wearer can expel any number of stones from its ioun slots at anytime as a free action, back into orbit around him or herself.
Cost +3,000 gp; Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, ioun grasp

UNSEEN SPARE HANDS
School conjuration (creation)
Level bard 2, magus 2, occultist 2, psychic 2, spiritualist 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, summoner/unchained summoner 2, witch 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S; Optional Components M, F (see text)
Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Effect 1d4 unseen spare hands per level
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

Except as detailed above, each spare hand this spell's effect creates is a Tiny unseen servant with an effective Strength score of 2 and the ability to fly (perfect), swim and walk with a base speed of 15 feet that is never modified by encumbrance. Individually, they dissipate upon having taken more than 5 damage from magical area effects.

Optional Focus: A five-digit non-magical masterwork glove or gauntlet befitting a Medium humanoid—is fully repaired as it absorbs the first spare hand this spell's effect creates to become a Tiny Animated Object [masterwork glove or gauntlet] with 6 extra hit points, a Wisdom score of 10, and the ability to fly (perfect), swim and walk with a base speed of 15 feet that is never modified by encumbrance. As part of this spell's effect, that creature obeys you with the behavioral repertoire of both Animated Object and unseen servant combined.

Optional Material Component: 5,000 gp of gems worth at least 100 gp each—gives the aforementioned Tiny Animated Object [masterwork glove or gauntlet] an instantaneous duration and a supernatural fly speed. If you possess the Craft Construct feat, the required value of this component is halved to 2,500 gp and 50 gp respectively.

The following feats might require additional consideration.

INTERCHANGE COMPONENTS (General Feat)
You express components with the gestalt sum of your body and mind.
Prerequisite: Spellcraft 1 rank.
Benefit: Excluding the verbal components of bard spells and related activities, you can use emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components interchangeably, provided doing so by itself does not reduce the number of unique components any particular activity requires. Any activity with a somatic component via this feat is subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Additionally, you can interchange your use of any expensive material component, with one or more alternative items of equal or greater value, provided each one bears significant meaning.

VOLUNTARY COMPONENTS (General Feat)
You can bolster your effects with extra casting components.
Prerequisite: Interchange Components, Spellcraft 1 rank.
Benefit: Excluding components already required of you to do so, you can cast any spell or spell-like ability to include your choice of voluntary emotion, somatic, thought and verbal components. Spells and spell-like abilities with a somatic component via this feat are subject to a chance of failure identical to a typical sorcerer's chance of arcane spell failure. Each voluntary component you add via this feat to your casting of a spell or spell-like ability, increases its effective caster level by 1 with respect to overcoming spell resistance and resisting dispel attempts.

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range 0 ft.
Effect shadowy arcs of nega-volt energy

    You can discharge one arc of this spell's effect out to medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) as a ranged touch attack (no range penalty) dealing damage equal to 1d12 + 1 point per caster level (max +15). Half that damage is electricity (rounded up) while the remainder is negative energy. This spell's effect counts as a light ranged weapon with the limning and seeking special abilities, allowing for iterative attacks from your base attack bonus.

Cacterran Race

Still under construction.

Cacterrans appear much like gnomes or humans, save they possess hairless green-hued skin bearing ridges and patterns of pores from which spines can be made to emerge.

Cacterran Racial Traits (10 RP)

–2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom: Cacterrans are sturdy and wise, but lack physical agility.

• In addition to actual rest and any uses of the Heal skill, a living cacterran exposed to natural sunlight naturally recovers hit points and ability score points (lost to ability damage) as if always resting.

Spine-spit: A living cacterran in true form gains a natural spine-spit attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A spine-spit is a primary natural attack, or a secondary natural attack for those who wield one or more manufactured weapons. Otherwise, a spine-spit functions as a blowgun of its owner's size. A typical cacterran has a spine-spit capacity equal to its Constitution score. The first hour one rests following its last moment of strenuous activity, cannot apply to the cumulative sum of 7 hours it must rest to refill that capacity. (1 RP)

Toxic Spines: A living creature dealt piercing damage from a natural weapon or unarmed strike used by a living cacterran in true form, becomes sickened for 1d4+1 rounds (Fort negates) as a poison effect. The save DC of this effect equals 10 + 1/2 the originator's Hit Dice + the originator's Constitution modifier. Once a creature successfully saves, it becomes immune to the toxic spines of that particular cacterran for 24 hours. Note: Creatures with the vegitatious subtype are immune to this effect. (2 RP)

Mycelial Toxicity (Ex): A living mycelian in true form can apply 1 dose of its toxic saliva (or blood when injured) to a weapon it wields as a swift action. Such a dose loses its potency after 1 hour. Each round at the end of its turn, a living creature with a mycelian swallowed whole in true form, automatically ingests 1 dose of that mycelian's toxic saliva and blood. A typical mycelian has a toxin dose capacity of 6 + its Constitution modifier. The first hour one rests following its last moment of strenuous activity, cannot apply to the cumulative sum of 7 hours it must rest to refill that capacity. Note: Creatures with the vegitatious subtype are immune to mycelian toxin. (2 RP)

• Inflicted Mycelian Toxin: poison–injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 the originator’s Hit Dice + the originator’s Constitution modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1 Dexterity and Wisdom damage; cure 1 save.

Item Arcanomicon

Still under construction.

The following spells are ideas I expect should require careful consideration.

ELDRITCH EFFIGY
School abjuration
Level sorcerer/wizard 5, witch 5
Components V, S, F (effigy of the target's true form and size, worth at least 500 gp)
Casting Time 1 minute
Range touch
Target one willing creature
Duration permanent (D)
Spell Resistance yes

Every previous instance of this spell currently active in respect to the focus or the subject immediately ends. Magical items worn by the focus while this spell remains active, function as if similarly worn by the subject, excluding the auras, non-magical properties and material forms of such items. In each instance where two or more magical items currently have a case for effectively occupying the same magic item slot belonging to the subject, only one such item the subject actually wears can be made to do so at that time.

INNATE ITEM
School abjuration
Level sorcerer/wizard 2, witch 2
Components V, S
Casting Time 1 minute
Range touch
Target one willing creature
Duration instantaneous
Spell Resistance no

The subject can choose a single magical item properly worn and actively occupying at least one of their magic item slots, provided that item is not intelligent or an artifact. When that item is chosen, you can attempt a single caster level check against it (DC 15 + chosen item's caster level). If that check succeeds, the chosen item's inherent magical properties are separated from its current material form and anchored as a supernatural ability inherent to the subject's very being. The term 'innate item' hereafter refers to such a supernatural ability.
    Despite lacking anchor to a material form and any qualities having one would provide, each 'innate item' always occupies the same magic item slot(s) it did when last in its previous format, never allowing such slot(s) be occupied for any other magical purpose. Otherwise unchanged, each 'innate item' retains its caster level, any activation method(s) and any spell effect(s) it can be used to produce.
    As a free or immediate action, a willing creature can engage or disengage the function(s) for a single 'innate item' they possess. As a standard action of their own true volition, a willing creature can dismiss and thus destroy, any number of 'innate items' they possess.
    Each attempt you make to derive an 'innate item' from a cursed magic item automatically fails, but also generates a supernatural arc of energy between yourself and the subject, dealing 1d4 damage to both for each caster level that cursed magic item has. If you are also the subject, you instead take 1d6 damage per caster level. That damage has no type, yet denies for 1 minute, all forms of regeneration to any creature(s) it harms. While the corresponding item remains a cursed magic item, that damage cannot be healed, and any creature(s) slain by it directly cannot be restored to life. Nothing less than a deity's direct efforts can avoid, redirect, mitigate or circumvent; that damage or its aforementioned consequences.
    Should you fail in any attempt to derive an 'innate item' from a particular magic item when it is not cursed, every following attempt you make corresponding to that same item automatically fails until you gain another caster level.

Conveyance Codex

The following spells were designed to extend upon the precedent of some 3.5 D&D spells uniquely capable of targeting an entire ship. The first spell in this series, is based upon augment object (SBG).

AUGMENT CONVEYANCE
School transmutation
Level sorcerer/wizard 4
Components V, S
Casting Time 1 minute
Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Target one vessel, vehicle or similar structure
Duration 1 hour + 24 hours/level (D)
Saving Throw none
Spell Resistance no

Every portion of the subject has its break DCs increased by +20 and its hardness and hit points doubled. They are also considered magic items with an effective caster level corresponding to this spell's effect (save bonus equals 2 + caster level). Damage sustained by any portion of the subject while this spell's effect remains active upon it, is halved and rounded down when that effect ends. While this spell's effect ends for any portion separated from the subject's greatest remaining whole, that effect will extend to include any repairs made, or replacements added, to that subject.

Benefit: While your arcane reservoir has at least 1 point, you gain the continuous effect of lesser age resistance as a supernatural ability.

MAGE'S LUXURIOUS LIBRARY (Arcane Exploit, Greater)
You can arrange a grimoire gala almost anywhere.
Prerequisite: Grimoire Guile.
Benefit: Any mage's magnificent mansion you originate by feature of any class (effective or otherwise) that governs your arcane reservoir, requires no focus component and may include among its furnishings, up to one exacting replica of each secluded grimoire you currently have.

+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +4 to One Mental Ability Score: Apexian characters are physically enhanced and gain a +4 racial bonus to one mental ability score of their choice at creation to compliment the focus of their programming. (8 RP)

Humanoid (Human): Apexians are humanoids with the human subtype.

Medium: Apexians are medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Fast Speed: Apexians have a base speed of 40 feet. (1 RP)

Low-Light Vision: Apexians can see twice as far as a race with normal vision in conditions of dim light. (1 RP)

Darkvision: Apexians can see perfectly in the dark up to 120 feet. (3 RP)

Healing Factor: Apexians gain healing factor 2. They naturally recover hit points and ability score points (lost to ability damage) at twice the normal rate when resting or subject to uses of the Heal skill. (2 RP)

Tech Intuitive: Apexians gain Technologist as a bonus feat at 1st level. They can gain other feats listing Technologist as a prerequisite, as if every skill rank prerequisite were reduced by 2, to no less than 1. (2 RP)

Naturally Psionic: Apexians gain Wild Talent as a bonus feat at 1st level. If they gain levels in a psionic class, they gain the Psionic Talent feat instead. When taking a level in a favored class, they can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point. (2 RP)

Mobgoblin Race

Still under construction.

Despite a lesser measure of physical flexibility than typical goblins with whom they share an identical appearance, mobgoblins possess high density musculature and better communication skills. Although they are more gregarious and less adverse to working with others, mobgoblins usually develop those traits celebrating their frenzied feasts and destructive exploits as a culture. Being of greater average mass, mobgoblins are afforded fewer opportunities to ride the mounts preferred by their lighter kin.

Mobgoblin Racial Traits (10 RP)

+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity: Mobgoblin characters are brawny and quick. (2 RP)

Humanoid (Goblinoid): Mobgoblins are humanoids with the goblinoid subtype.

Small: Mobgoblins are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.

Normal Speed: Mobgoblins have a base speed of 30 feet.

Darkvision: Mobgoblins can see in the dark out to 60 feet. (2 RP)

Swarming: Unless one of them are pinned, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise unable to act; a Small mobgoblin and one other ally of the same size can occupy the same square without penalty. When attempting a melee attack of opportunity against a foe threatened by at least one other ally, a creature with this trait is considered to be flanking that foe regardless of positioning. (1 RP)

Sneaky: A mobgoblin gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks. (2 RP)

Boss (Ex): During his or her turn, a mobgoblin able to address, signal or spur a specific creature within natural reach, can target that creature like a boss as a free action. Any creature so targeted, can use an immediate action at that very moment to take a 5-foot step or one free action. If one takes that 5-foot step, they must negate the next 5 feet of any movement they gain from their actions before their next turn expires. (1 RP)

Leading Edge (Ex): As a swift action, a mobgoblin can take a bonus 5-foot step in addition to any other movement(s) performed, or they can add 5 feet to any speed-enabled movement they gain from their very next action. Regardless of other prerequisites, when a creature with this trait gains one of the following feats, it also gains the next feat in parenthesis as a bonus feat: Sidestep (Improved Sidestep) or Step Up (Following Step). (2 RP)

Quick Rise (Ex): A kneeling mobgoblin can stand up by subtracting 5 feet from any speed-enabled movement he or she gains when taking an action normally available to one already standing. As a move action, a prone mobgoblin can stand up and move up to half his or her speed. If one of those actions provokes attacks of opportunity more than once, a given foe can only react to one such opportunity. (1 RP)

Languages: Mobgoblins begin play speaking Common and Goblin. Mobgoblins with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Aklo, Draconic, Dwarven, Gnome, Orc, Terran and Undercommon.

Random Mobgoblin Height and Weight:

Male Height: 2 ft. 8 in. + 2d4 in.
Male Weight: 40 lbs. + 2d8 lbs.
Female Height: 2 ft. 6 in. + 2d4 in.
Female Weight: 35 lbs. + 2d8 lbs.

Observation Orb

Still under construction.

Although their make and model vary, each of the following dwoemer droids usually appears as a pair of mottled metallic hemispheres linked, fitted, locked and bonded together along a flush, but irregular partition shaped to enforce proper alignment. Each design produces an exterior with its own pattern of various tinted ceramic lenses and micro pores packed with recessed nano-filament sensors.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Cloak Emitters (Ex) With these bodily components, observation orbs receive the benefit of the Lurker in Darkness feat and remain invisible by means not subject to the invisibility purge spell, even when they attack. One with these components can toggle their function as a free or immediate action.
Eldritch Ops (Su) Observation orbs possess the continuous benefit of arcane sight, comprehend languages, read magic, see invisibility and tongues.
Fraud Filtering (Su) Observation orbs automatically disbelieve all relevant illusory effects they perceive in some way, while the true forms of all things polymorphed, changed or transmuted; appear to them as ghostly apparitions superimposed over their apparent forms.
Gravity Nodes (Ex) With these bodily components, observation orbs receive a +8 circumstance bonus to Acrobatics, Fly, Stealth and Swim checks while employing the extraordinary fly or swim speed listed in the base statistics for their kind.
Mnemonic Access (Su) An observation orb can share memory (as the spell) as an Intelligence-based supernatural ability, with the added option of targeting any creature it contacts using its own supernatural telepathy or telepathic pairing. Any successful Will save one makes against this ability guarantees them success on all other saving throws they attempt against it from the same user for 24 hours.
Nanite Channels (Ex) With these bodily components, an observation orb is repaired for a number of hit points equal to its Hit Dice every hour.
Optimizing Optics (Ex) With these bodily components, observation orbs see all that is rendered invisible as if it were not, with vision cleared of all distortion due to any blur or displacement effects. One with these components can toggle their function as a free or immediate action.
Perceptive Tracking (Ex) Observation orbs can use Perception instead of Survival to both find and follow tracks, using the same DCs listed under the Survival skill.
Polyglot-III Protocols (Ex) Observation orbs learn two additional languages for each rank they gain in the Linguistics skill.
Spectro-VI Surveillance (Ex) With these bodily components, obliteration orbs receive a +6 circumstance bonus to Perception checks for which they suffer only one-sixth the normal distance penalty (–1 per 60 feet, rather than –1 per 10 feet). As reflected in the base statistics for their kind, those with these components also possess the following: blindsight, darkvision, low-light vision and tremorsense. As a free or immediate action, one with these components may toggle the option enabling them to detect radiation (as the spell) out to 360 feet.
Spherical Resilience (Ex) Against observation orbs in true form, damage dealt by diffuse blunt trauma via battering, buffeting, compression, constriction, crushing, falling, impact collisions, shockwaves or trampling is halved and rounded down.
Task Protocols (Ex) Observation orbs are unable to deviate from serving the expressed will of their corresponding creator(s) in the truest good faith. Their class skills include Acrobatics, Fly, Knowledge (all), Linguistics, Perception, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Stealth and Swim.
Telepathic Pairing (Su) As an immediate action, an observation orb can form a telepathic pairing with one other willing creature it contacts using its own supernatural telepathy. Until disbanded as a free or immediate action by either participant, such a pairing enables two-way conversation between both regardless of their location relative to one another. Forming a telepathic pairing with this ability disbands all others formed by the same.
Willwired Subtype (Ex) Willwired constructs possess a good Will save progression for their racial Hit Dice and gain skill points for each one equal to 6 + their Intelligence modifier. Although subject to mind-affecting effects, against which they possess a +8 racial bonus on saving throws, they are still immune to charms, compulsions, emotions, pain, patterns and phantasms. They also possess Technologist as a racial bonus feat.


Obliteration orbs are less subtle and more substantial than observation orbs. Centered on the exterior for one of its two hemispheres, each of them possess a significant concave recess surrounding the layered set of apertures capping the drive barrel of its internalized graviton cannon.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Eldritch Ops (Su) As an observation orb.
Force Field Emitters (Ex) With these bodily components, an obliteration orb can emit an otherwise typical force field. One with these components can track the 2d12 hours they take to emit that force field again with full hit points following its last collapse at 0 hit points. Otherwise, these components enable one to suspend that force field as a free or immediate action, or resume it once more as a standard action with the same hit points it had prior to being suspended.
