A ray of energy bludgeons your target into submission without causing lasting harm. When you cast this spell, you choose whether the ray feels like a strong punch or slap. Make a spell attack roll. The ray deals 2d6 bludgeoning damage.

Critical Success The target takes double damage.

Success The target takes full damage.

A bubble of pure air appears around the target’s head, allowing it to breathe normally. The effect ends as soon as the target returns to an environment where it can breathe normally.

You ward an area to alert you when creatures enter without your permission. When you cast alarm, select a password. Whenever a Small or larger corporeal creature enters the spell’s area without speaking the password, alarm sends your choice of a mental alert (in which case the spell gains the mental trait) or an audible alarm with the sound and volume of a hand bell (in which case the spell gains the auditory trait). Either option automatically awakens you, and the bell allows each creature in the area to attempt a DC 15 Perception check to wake up. A creature aware of the alarm must succeed at a Stealth check against the spell’s DC or trigger the spell when moving into the area.

Your magic dredges up a corpse or skeleton and fills it with necromantic life, and you force the dead to fight at your command. You summon a common creature that has the undead trait and whose level is –1 ; this creature gains the summoned trait. Heightening the spell increases the maximum level of creature you can summon.

You fill the minds of your enemies with doubt. Enemies in the area must succeed at a Will save or take a -1 status penalty to attack rolls as long as they are in the area. Once per turn, starting the turn after you cast bane, you can use a single action, which has the concentrate trait, to increase the emanation’s radius by 5 feet and force enemies in the area that weren’t yet affected to attempt another saving throw. Bane can counteract bless.

Blessings from beyond help your companions strike true. You and your allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls while within the emanation. Once per turn, starting the turn after you cast bless, you can use a single action, which has the concentrate trait, to increase the emanation’s radius by 5 feet. Bless can counteract bane.

You protect your target from going astray in hostile territory by tracking where it’s already been, helping it deduce where it still needs to go. The target leaves a glittering trail behind it that lasts for the spell’s duration. This trail doesn’t denote the direction or the order of its path—it merely indicates where the target has moved during the spell’s duration.

You intervene in a heated disagreement between two creatures, encouraging them to put aside their differences and find some common ground. The emotional heat of the prior moment becomes only a memory. Each target must make a Will save. A creature currently engaged in combat can’t get a result worse than success, and a target that is subject to hostility from any other creature ceases to be affected by celestial accord.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is filled with doubt about its own intentions and feels an urge to cooperate with the other. It has a -2 status penalty to attack rolls against the other target for 1 round.

Failure The creature can’t make hostile actions against the other target and its attitude toward the other target improves to indifferent for the spell’s duration.

Critical Failure As failure, but the creature’s attitude toward the other target improves to friendly for the duration and is indifferent thereafter (until something happens to change that attitude normally).

You shout a command that’s hard to ignore. You can command the target to approach you, run away (as if it had the fleeing condition), release what it’s holding, drop prone, or stand in place. It can’t Delay or take any reactions until it has obeyed your command. The effects depend on the target’s Will save.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure For the first action on its next turn, the creature must use a single action to do as you command.

Critical Failure The target must use all its actions on its next turn to obey your command.

You unleash a dangerous consonance of reverberating sound, focusing on a single target or spreading out to damage many foes. The number of actions you spend Casting this Spell determines its targets, range, area, and other parameters.

(verbal) The spell deals 1d4 sonic damage to a single enemy, with a basic Fortitude save.

(somatic, verbal) The spell deals 2d4 sonic damage to all creatures in a 10-foot burst, with a basic Fortitude save.

(material, somatic, verbal) The spell deals 2d4 sonic damage to all creatures in a 30-foot emanation, with a basic Fortitude save.

As you cup your hands, water begins to flow forth from them. You create 2 gallons of water. If no one drinks it, it evaporates after 1 day.

Your eyes glow as you sense aligned auras. Choose chaotic, evil, good, or lawful. You detect auras of that alignment. You receive no information beyond presence or absence. You can choose not to detect creatures or effects you’re aware have that alignment.

Only creatures of 6th level or higher—unless divine spellcasters, undead, or beings from the Outer Sphere—have alignment auras.

You detect whether a creature is venomous or poisonous, or if an object is poison or has been poisoned. You do not ascertain whether the target is poisonous in multiple ways, nor do you learn the type or types of poison. Certain substances, like lead and alcohol, are poisons and so mask other poisons.

You infuse weapons with positive energy. Attacks with these weapons deal an extra 1d4 positive damage to undead.

You channel magical energy into the target weapon, and the air around it faintly hums each time you strike a blow, as the impact is absorbed into the weapon. If a creature is wielding the weapon at the end of its turn, the weapon discharges a burst of sound targeting one creature adjacent to the wielder (if any). The sonic damage this deals is equal to the number of successful Strikes with the target weapon that the wielder made that turn (to a maximum of 4 sonic damage if the wielder hits with four Strikes).

You overwhelm the target with an unexpected and unpredictable desire if it fails a Will save. Roll 1d4 to determine the spell’s effect.

You plant fear in the target; it must attempt a Will save.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target is frightened 1.

Failure The target is frightened 2.

Critical Failure The target is frightened 3 and fleeing for 1 round.

With a touch, you strip off the flesh, muscle, and internal organs off your target, leaving only bare bones. The effect depends on whether the target is a living creature, undead creature, or inanimate corpse. A creature or corpse that lacks flesh, muscle, and internal organs is immune to this spell.

Inanimate Corpse The flesh, muscle, viscera, and organs are stripped from the corpse and vanish, leaving only bare bones behind.

Living Creature Make a spell attack roll. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 slashing damage. On a critical hit, double the damage, and the target also takes 1d4 persistent bleed damage. If this spell’s damage kills the target, the corpse is only bones.

Undead Creature Make a spell attack roll. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 slashing damage. On a critical hit, double the damage, and the target also becomes enfeebled 1 for 1 minute. If this spell’s damage destroys the target, only its bare bones remain behind.

You soften the target’s blows, ensuring they avoid vital areas and cause no lasting harm. All physical damage dealt by the target to living creatures becomes nonlethal and all persistent bleed damage dealt by the target is reduced to 0. This effect doesn’t incur the typical –2 circumstance penalty for nonlethal attacks with a lethal weapon or attack. An unwilling target must attempt a Will save. A willing target can choose to critically fail their saving throw.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is affected for 1 round.

Failure The creature is affected for 1d4 rounds.

Critical Failure The creature is affected for 1 minute.

You channel negative energy to harm the living or heal the undead. If the target is a living creature, you deal 1d8 negative damage to it, and it gets a basic Fortitude save. If the target is a willing undead creature, you restore that amount of Hit Points. The number of actions you spend when Casting this Spell determines its targets, range, area, and other parameters.

(somatic) The spell has a range of touch.

(somatic, verbal) The spell has a range of 30 feet. If you’re healing an undead creature, increase the Hit Points restored by 8.

(material, somatic, verbal) You disperse negative energy in a 30-foot emanation. This targets all living and undead creatures in the area.

You channel positive energy to heal the living or damage the undead. If the target is a willing living creature, you restore 1d8 Hit Points. If the target is undead, you deal that amount of positive damage to it, and it gets a basic Fortitude save. The number of actions you spend when Casting this Spell determines its targets, range, area, and other parameters.

(somatic) The spell has a range of touch.

(somatic, verbal) The spell has a range of 30 feet. If you’re healing a living creature, increase the Hit Points restored by 8.

(material, somatic, verbal) You disperse positive energy in a 30-foot emanation. This targets all living and undead creatures in the burst.

You call forth a ladder or staircase to help you reach greater heights. The ladder or staircase appears in a space you designate and either stands freely or connects to a nearby wall if possible. You decide the height of the ladder or staircase when casting the spell, up to a maximum height of 40 feet. The ladder or staircase is locked in place and magically supported, allowing you to ascend even if it’s in an open area. The conjured ladder is simple in design and made of wood. The staircase is a spiral staircase made of wood. While both are supported and have no risk of falling, they can be damaged and destroyed as normal. The staircase is typically easier to ascend, though it’s less discreet than a ladder and could possibly draw more attention. You can Dismiss the spell.

The target’s latch mechanism clinks shut, held fast by unseen magical restraints. When you magically lock a target, you set an Athletics and Thievery DC to open it equal to your spell DC or the base lock DC with a +4 status bonus, whichever is higher. Any key or combination that once opened a lock affected by this spell does not do so for the duration of the spell, though the key or combination does grant a +4 circumstance bonus to checks to open the door.

If the target is opened, the spell ends. Assuming the target is not barred or locked in some additional way, you can unlock and open it with an Interact action during which you touch the target. This does not end the spell. You can Dismiss this spell at any time and from any distance.

You pour positive energy into ordinary stones, granting them temporary magical properties. You can target 1 non-magical stone or sling bullet for every action you use Casting this Spell. The stones must be unattended or carried by you or a willing ally. The stones become +1 striking disrupting sling bullets. Each stone can be used only once, after which it crumbles to dust.

The weapon glimmers with magic and energy. The target becomes a +1 striking weapon, gaining a +1 item bonus to attack rolls and increasing the number of weapon damage dice to two.

You repair the target item. You restore 5 Hit Points per spell level to the target, potentially removing the broken condition if this repairs it past the item’s Broken Threshold. You can’t replace lost pieces or repair an object that’s been completely destroyed.

You channel negative energy through your magical connection to your undead minion to strengthen the creature. The target regains 1d8+4 Hit Points when you Cast the Spell, and it gains a +2 status bonus to saves against positive effects for the duration.

You open your cloak or create a gap with your hands, drawing the target into a pocket dimension just large enough for its basic comfort. No other creature can enter this extradimensional space, and the target can bring along objects only if they were designed to be worn by a creature of its kind. The space has enough air, food, and water to sustain the target for the duration.

You can Dismiss the spell. The spell also ends if you die or enter an extradimensional space. When the spell ends, the target reappears in the nearest unoccupied space (outside of any extradimensional space you may have entered).

You ward a creature against a specified alignment. Choose chaotic, evil, good, or lawful when you cast this spell. The target gains a +1 status bonus to Armor Class and saving throws against creatures and effects of the chosen alignment. This bonus increases to +3 against effects from such creatures that would directly control the target and against attacks made by summoned creatures of the chosen alignment.

This spell gains the trait that opposes the alignment you chose—if you choose chaos, this spell gains the lawful trait, and vice versa; if you choose evil, this spell gains the good trait, and vice versa.

You remove toxins and contaminations from food and drink, making them safe to consume. This spell doesn’t prevent future contamination, natural decay, or spoilage. One cubic foot of liquid is roughly 8 gallons.

You evoke life essence into the form of water and freeze it, then launch the icicle at a foe. Make a spell attack roll. On a success, the icicle deals 2d6 piercing damage and 1d6 cold damage, and if the target is undead, the icicle deals an additional 1d4 positive damage. On a critical success, the target takes double damage and takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds for 1 round as the icicle lodges inside them before melting away.

You cause otherwise edible food to rot and spoil instantly, and water and other liquids to become brackish and undrinkable. Holy water, unholy water, and similar food and drink of significance are spoiled by this spell, unless they are associated with a deity of decay or putrefaction, but it has no effect on creatures of any type, potions, or alchemical elixirs. One cubic foot of liquid is roughly 8 gallons.

A ray that saps a foe’s strength flashes from your hand. Attempt a ranged spell attack against the target. If you succeed, that creature attempts a Fortitude save to determine the spell's effect. If your attack roll is a critical success, use the outcome for one degree of success worse than the result of its save.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.

Success The target becomes enfeebled 1.

Failure The target becomes enfeebled 2.

Critical Failure The target becomes enfeebled 3.

You permanently change the appearance of one piece of clothing currently worn by you or an ally to better fit your aesthetic sensibilities. You can change its color, texture, pattern, and other minor parts of its design, but the changes can’t alter the clothing’s overall shape, size, or purpose. The changes can’t increase the quality of the craftsmanship or artistry of the piece of clothing, but particularly gauche choices for the new color and pattern might decrease its aesthetic appeal. This spell transforms existing materials into the desired appearance and never alters the material or creates more material than what’s originally part of the object. The object’s statistics also remain unchanged.

You ward a creature with protective energy that deters enemy attacks. Creatures attempting to attack the target must attempt a Will save each time. If the target uses a hostile action, the spell ends.

Critical Success Sanctuary ends.

Success The creature can attempt its attack and any other attacks against the target this turn.

Failure The creature can’t attack the target and wastes the action. It can’t attempt further attacks against the target this turn.

Critical Failure The creature wastes the action and can’t attempt to attack the target for the rest of sanctuary’s duration.

You form a spiritual link with another creature, taking in its pain. When you Cast this Spell and at the start of each of your turns, if the target is below maximum Hit Points, it regains 2 Hit Points (or the difference between its current and maximum Hit Points, if that’s lower). You lose as many Hit Points as the target regained.

This is a spiritual transfer, so no effects apply that would increase the Hit Points the target regains or decrease the Hit Points you lose. This transfer also ignores any temporary Hit Points you or the target have. Since this effect doesn’t involve positive or negative energy, spirit link works even if you or the target is undead. While the duration persists, you gain no benefit from regeneration or fast healing. You can Dismiss this spell, and if you’re ever at 0 Hit Points, spirit link ends automatically.

While deities jealously guard their most powerful servants from the summoning spells of those who aren’t steeped in the faith, this spell allows you to conjure an inhabitant of the Outer Sphere with or without the deity’s permission. You summon a celestial, monitor, or fiend whose level is –1 to fight on your behalf. Alternatively, you can choose a magical animal from the Outer Sphere as your lesser servitor. This animal is your choice of an eagle, guard dog, or raven (Bestiary 2 221). It gains the alignment matching your deity (or you, if you don’t have a deity) and has the following trait depending on the alignment it gained: celestial for lawful, monitor for neutral, or fiend for evil.

You can’t summon a creature if it is opposed to your deity’s alignment on either axis (or opposed to your alignment if you don’t follow a deity). For example, if you deity is lawful good, you can’t summon a chaotic or evil creature. The GM might determine that deities restrict specific types of creatures even if their alignments aren’t diametrically opposed. For example, Pharasma would restrict the summoning of sahkils.

Heightening the spell increases the maximum level of creature you can summon and might add additional animal servitors, which otherwise work like the eagle, guard dog, and raven.

You harmlessly place your unique magic sigil, which is about 1 square inch in size, on your targets. When you Cast the Spell, you set the duration by choosing a time at which point the sigil flashes dimly three times. After that point, the spell ends. Even though spell durations aren’t normally exact, the effects of synchronize are precise to the second. The timer is based on the place where the spell was cast, so entering a plane or area where time flows differently changes how the time elapses.

You teleport one object of light or negligible Bulk held in your hand to the target. The object appears instantly in the target’s hand, if they have a free hand, or at their feet if they don’t. The target knows what object you are attempting to send them. If the target is unconscious or refuses to accept your gift, or if the spell would teleport a creature (even if the creature is inside an extradimensional container), the spell fails.

Whenever you speak or make any other sound vocally, you can make your vocalization seem to originate from somewhere else within 60 feet, and you can change that apparent location freely as you vocalize. Any creature that hears the sound can attempt to disbelieve your illusion.
