Priest Spells - Level 7
CONFUSION  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Enchantment/Charm Range : Sight of caster
Components : V,S,M Duration : 1 round/2 levels
Casting Time : 7 Area of Effect : 30 foot radius
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

This spell causes confusion in one or more creatures within the area, creating indecision and the inability to take effective action. All creatures within the area of affect are allowed saving throws vs. spell with -2 penalties. Those successfully saving are unaffected by the spell.

The spell lasts for two rounds plus one round for each level of the caster. Those who fail their saving throws will either go berserk, stand confused or wander about for the duration of the spell. Wandering creatures move as far from the caster as possible, according to their most typical mode of movement (characters walk, fish swim, bats fly, etc.). Any confused creature that is attacked perceives the attacker as an enemy and acts according to its basic nature.

CONJURE EARTH ELEMENTAL  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Conjuration/Summoning Range : Sight of caster
Components : V,S,M Duration : 1 turn/level
Casting Time : 1 round Area of Effect : Special
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

Upon casting a conjure earth elemental spell, the caster opens a special gate to the elemental plane of Earth, and an earth elemental is summoned to the vicinity of the spellcaster. It is 60% likely that a 12 hit dice elemental appears, 35% likely that a 16 hit dice elemental appears, and 5% likely that a 24 hit dice elemental appears. All of the commands given to the elemental are done so telepathically so there is no time lost due to miscommunication and it is not necessary to know the language of the summoned creature. Priests do not have to engage in a battle of the wits to control their summoned elemental (unlike mages).

CREEPING DOOM  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Conjuration/Summoning Range : 80 yards
Components : V,S,M Duration : 6 rounds
Casting Time : 1 rounds Area of Effect : Special
Saving Throw : 1/2 duration Spell Level : 7

When the caster utters the spell of creeping doom, he calls forth a mass of from 1000 venomous, biting and stinging arachnids, insects and myriapods. This carpet-like mass swarms over a large area. Upon command from the caster, the swam creeps forth toward any prey within 80 yards, moving the direction in which the caster commands. Victims caught in the path of the creeping doom may make a saving throw vs. breath weapon (-2 penalty) to escape the insects - half duration for the spell. Those trapped by the insects suffer 2 points of damage each round, and a spell failure rate of 100%

EARTHQUAKE  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Alteration Range : 120 yards
Components : V,S,M Duration : 3 tremors
Casting Time : 1 round Area of Effect : Special
Saving Throw : 1/2 Spell Level : 7

When this spell is cast by a priest, a local tremor of fairly high strength rips the ground. The shock is over in several rounds. The earthquake affects all creatures in its area of effects. There are three tremors that are caused by the earthquake. The first tremor causes all creatures affected to suffer 6d6 points of damage (save vs. spell at a -6 penalty for half damage). Those who fail their saving throws fall to the ground for four rounds and drop their weapons. The second tremor is less severe, causing 3d6 points of damage (save for half at a -2 penalty). Those failing the saving throw will also drop their weapons. The final tremor causes 2d6 damage (save for half) and if the saving throw is failed they will drop their weapons. This spell will affect both enemies and friends of the caster, so care must be taken in its use. Finally, Earth Elementals dislike mere mortals toying with the land and there is a small chance that casting this spell will cause and earth elemental to appear. This elemental will attack the party.

FINGER OF DEATH  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Necromancy Range : Sight of caster
Components : V,S,M Duration : Instantaneous
Casting Time : 5 Area of Effect : 1 creature
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

The finger of death spell snuffs out the victim's life force. The caster points his finger at the victim after the incantation is complete and unless he saves vs. spell at -2, death occurs. A creature successfully saving still receives 2d8+1 points of damage.

FIRE STORM  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Evocation Range : 40 yards
Components : V,S,M Duration : 4 rounds
Casting Time : 1 round Area of Effect : 20 foot radius
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

When a fire storm spell is cast, the whole area is shot through with sheets of roaring flame and then pelted with fiery balls of lava. Creatures within the area of fire receive 2d8 points of damage plus one for each level of the caster (i.e. 2d8+1/level). This assault will last for four rounds and will continue to do damage to the creature during that time unless he moves out of the area of effect. There is no saving throw vs this spell.

GATE  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Conjuration Summoning Range : 20 yards
Components : V,S,M Duration : 33 rounds
Casting Time : 5 Area of Effect : Special
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

By means of this spell, the caster calls an outer planar creature - the Pit Fiend - to attack his foes and himself if he's not careful. The caster must use a protection from evil on himself (and comrades) to keep the demon from noticing them. If the caster fails to protect himself in this manner, the Pit Fiend will tear the caster and his companions apart, piece by piece and then feast on the remains.

HOLY WORD  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Conjuration/Summoning Range : 0
Components : V,S,M Duration : Special
Casting Time : 1 Area of Effect : 30 foot radius
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

Uttering a holy word spell creates magic of tremendous power. The priest acts as a bridge between his god and the prime material plane causing a small explosion centered on the priest and reaching up to a 30' radius. It affects only evil creatures or creatures of any evil alignment that are caught in the area of effect. The effects differ according to the level of the target as follows:

Hit dice or levels - Effects of Holy Word

Less than 4 - Death
4 to 7 - Stunned for 1 turn
8 to 11 - Slowed for 1 turn with 75% chance of spell failure
12 and up - Deafened for 1 turn with 50% chance of spell failure

There is no saving throw vs. this spell and the effects are instantaneous and last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. Note this spell may not be cast by any priest of evil alignment.

NATURE'S BEAUTY  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Illusion/Phantasm Range : Caster
Components : V,S,M Duration : Instantaneous
Casting Time : 6 Area of Effect : 5 foot radius
Saving Throw : Negates Spell Level : 7

When this spell is cast, the caster appears to undergo a remarkable transformation. The caster becomes the very ideal of beauty, for a male, this is usually a nymph, for a female, the image varies. As with a nymph, anyone viewing the disguised caster must make a saving throw vs. spells (+3 bonus) or die of longing for the denied illusion. Even if the saving throw is successful, hapless viewers of the transformed druid are all instantly smitten with permanent blindness (until dispelled). The transformation is instantaneous but lasts only seconds, affecting those near the caster (excluding fellow party members).

GREATER RESTORATION  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Necromancy Range : Touch
Components : V,S,M Duration : Instantaneous
Casting Time : 3 Area of Effect : 1 creature
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient is raised. This reverses any previous life energy level drain of the creature by a force or monster. A restoration spell will also restore the intelligence of a creature affected by a feeblemind spell. It also negates any form of insanity such as confusion or berserk, fully heals the target, and cures any disease or poisons. The casting of this spell is very draining on the priest and she will likely require rest immediately after the casting as it will cause days worth of fatigue almost instantaneously.

RESURRECTION  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Necromancy Range : Touch
Components : V,S,M Duration : Instantaneous
Casting Time : 1 turn Area of Effect : 1 creature
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

Like the 5th level spell Raise Dead, Resurrection will return a character back to life. However, Resurrection also heals the character so that they are ready for the adventuring life once more.

SHIELD OF THE ARCHONS  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Abjuration Range : Touch
Components : V,S,M Duration : 3 rounds/level
Casting Time : 9 Area of Effect : Caster
Saving Throw : None Spell Level : 7

This powerful abjuration spell causes the spells cast against the priest to be absorbed and consumed. This affects a total of spell levels equal to half the level of the priest. This includes spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilities, but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the priest as well as area effects that are stationary such as cloud kill and stinking cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the priest it will be absorbed. As long as there are spell levels remaining, this will absorb the spell. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd level spell is cast at the priest, the spell will be absorbed while canceling the shield. This also works against dispel magic.

SUNRAY  [PRIEST]

Sphere : Evocation/Alteration Range : 20 feet
Components : V,S,M Duration : Special
Casting Time : 4 Area of Effect : 20 foot radius

When this spell is cast, it causes a ray of sunlight to beam down upon the caster and all within a 20' radius. All creatures within the area of effect take 3-18 points of damage and must save vs. spells or be blinded for 10 rounds. Undead that are hit by the sunray take 1-6 damage for every level of the caster, and must save vs. spells or be destroyed.
