Spell Descriptions (26 pages)
This is the bulk of the book. There is far to many spells to make a complete list so I will just put up a few example spells and comments.
Baleful Object – Lets you put a curse on a object that stays until someone touches the object and then they are hit by the curse just as if you had cast it on them.
Bastion of Pure Magic – Store a spell energy in a gem. When the gem is activated creates a zone of pure magic that over comes all anti-magic fields and the like for the duration of the spell.
Blackbust – A spell that does cold and negative energy dmg, also causes sicken.
Chaos Unleashed – you make a area tainted with chaos. Any spell or spell like abilities must roll on a chart and apply the results. Love the concept of this spell.
Charm Contagion – works like charm monster except anyone the target greets after the spell is cast will tell others how great you are. They in turn then must make a save or be effected by the spell. Love the idea of the spell, but a little concern about how far reaching it could be.
Curse of Undeath – cast on a living target. When they die they will come back as a undead.
Curse of Generations – Puts any lower level curse on the target and any offspring of the same gender. So if cast on a man he would be effected, his sons, grandsons, great grandsons etc The curse keeps going until removed.
Entropic Torrent – Causes things around you to rapidly decay. Living things take damage while objects take hardness dmg.
Fake the Dead – If a attack would result in your death, instead if triggers this spell. You become invis and more, while a greater shadow illusion of you takes your place and dies as would have happened. Love the spell but I would have done it a bit different but that is more taste than anything wrong.
Forewarning – Neat idea, a creature effected gains warning about something bad coming just before it happens and can use a bonus to AC, CMD or save. The only problem is the spell doesn't say what the bonus is, only that it can no exceed a certain number.
Manacles of Suppression – Creates magical chains that act as a anti-magic field on the target and can be used to grapple and pin the target.
Minions of Death – Slays a certain HD number of creatures, lowest HD first. Those slain by the spell raise as zombies the following turn. As animate dead.
Ride the Lightning – More or less cast Lightning Bolt, except you ride it to where it ends.
Rob the Reaper – Instead of being killed your soul goes to another place. At the end of the duration or when you choose your return to where you died back in your body at 0 hp and other stuff. Regardless of what happened to your body while you was away.
Venerable Aging – The target on a failed saved ages to the venerable age for their race and all stat mods are applied as if they had aged naturally. Love the spell... but I don't like the increase in mental stats as that makes no sense they get smarter just for getting older with out the life experiences. I think the spell should only effect the physical stats.

It ends with a OGL and 2 pages of ads. (3 pages)

Closing thoughts. The layout and editing where good, the art was good. It is a very nice looking book like you have come to expect from Rite Publishing. I listed some of my favorite spells from the product above. Yet it wasn't all good. As I mentioned above in a couple of examples. There was more spells this time I felt where meh than previous version. I will admit I find it much harder to judge balance in these spells. I check them again Pathfinder spells but at this level it is hard to judge. While there is more spells I was meh about, the ones that where good where very good. So if you have liked the previous ones in the series I recommend picking this up or if you are looking for high level spells. So whats my rating? I am giving this one a 4 star, I liked it and what was good was very good but there was more meh in it to for me.

Trust me, I'm a Succubus.



I want to thank Vic for getting this up. I personally think this is the best book in the series so far.

Thanks for taking the time to do a review of our product!

One note where you made a factual error, the spell forewarning does tell you what kind of bonus it is.

Forewarning: "This warning serves as either an
insight bonus to ..."

Yeah i meant the amount of bonus. What + number is it. The only number given is that it can not exceed +25. I reread it 4 times trying to figure out what the bonus was.


should read +1 per caster level (maximum +25)

Ok that makes sense, I think the +1 per level part got left off.

What are the odds of seeing a collected version of this series ?


There has been a good amount of people calling for it, right now my plan is to finish 101 0-Level Spells, and then see where we go from there.


Spellbore is probably the most practical spell in this book. You cast it as a swift action, then the next spell you cast in the same round will pass through an antimagic field, so long as it is an energy missile or ray. It's the ultimate archmage duel spell!

Archmage 1: Ha! I've just cast antimagic field! Now I'm just going to get on my horse and ride away, and you can't do a thing about it!

Archmage 2: (casts spellbore, then polar ray) Is it cold in here, or is it just you?

I'd also have to give credit to dweomer nova as another spell full of archmage awesomeness. A wizard with a headband +6 could easily have a 36 Intelligence while using this spell, for a bonus of +13!


- Ride the Lightning (Sor/Wiz): Bolt inflicts 1d6 points of electrical damage/caster level and caster appears where it ends.

- Ring of Fire (Drd, Sor/Wiz): Shimmering violet fire deals 2d6 fire damage within 10 feet, 1d6 damage between 10 and 20 feet.

- Rob the Reaper (Sor/Wiz): Caster sends his soul away to safety rather than die. (Immediate)

- Sacrifice, Immortal (Clr, Drd): Sacrifice ageless creature to confer bonuses to subject.

- Savage Victim (Drd: Perform a successful combat maneuver while wild shaped and deal an additional 1d6 /2 levels plus double your Strength modifier. (Immediate)

- Scourge Foes, Greater (Clr, Drd): Blast of divine power deals 1d8/2 levels damage, deafens foes for 2d4 rounds, and restricts their actions for 1 round. The spell-name-header is missing in my version of the file.

- Seed of Terror (Clr, Sor/Wiz 9): You infect a target with a monster that grows inside it, dealing 3d6 Con damage.

- Shadow Arena (Sor/Wiz): Create a demi-space to partition a battlefield and isolate foes.

-Sky Barge (Clr, Sor/Wiz): Summons a flying barge that carries 400 pounds/level.

- Spectral Gallows (Sor/Wiz): Invisible tentacles encircle the necks of affected creatures.

- Spell Magnet (Sor/Wiz): Target of ray suffers –1 penalty/2 caster levels to saves against magic.

- Spellbore (Sor/Wiz): Force your spell through antimagic areas and effects. (Swift)

- Split Personality (Sor/Wiz): Creates second, opposite personality in target that has control half the time.

- Spore Bloom (Drd): Ranged touch attack deals 1d6/level magical piercing damage and 1d4 points of Constitution drain.

- Storm of Ballista Bolts (Sor/Wiz): Barrage of ballista bolts deals 3d8 to all creatures and objects in a very large area.

- Symbol of Hate (Clr, Sor/Wiz): Like symbol of death, except all creatures become overwhelmed with hate and immediately attack all those around it.

- Teleport Extraction (Sor/Wiz): Teleports part of a creature’s body outside of it.

- Tide of War (Clr, Sor/Wiz): Force creatures to attack nearby friends or foes.

- Timeslip (Sor/Wiz): Change outcome of one action by rerolling any one die.

- Unstoppable Bleakness (Sor/Wiz): 1d3 negative levels to all targets in area dispels death ward.

- Veil of Fiery Meteors (Clr, Drd, Sor/Wiz): Orbiting stones defend and can attack.

- Venerable Anointing (Clr, Sor/Wiz): Creature temporarily becomes venerable.

- Vorpal Strike (Sor/Wiz): Your strike may sever an opponent’s head. (Immediate)

- Wall of Reaving (Sor/Wiz): Shimmering plane dispels and suppresses magic.

- Wall of White Water (Clr, Drd, Sor/Wiz): Creates a wall of white water rapids.

- Waves of Infirmity (Clr, Sor/Wiz): A cone inflicts 3d6 Constitution damage.

- Wild Animus (Brd 6, Clr): Animates all inanimate objects in area of effect, which attack the nearest creatures.

- Xenophobic Rage (Clr, Sor/Wiz): Make subjects instantly aggressive to anyone not of their own race.

Conclusion:
Formatting adheres to the two-column standard, the artwork is nice. On the editing side, I noticed some minor glitches, but not many. The most prominent being the one spell-header missing. On the content side, I can say that 8th level has been one of the rather meh-levels for my players, which will change with this book. While not as iconic as the 9th-level installment, this part of the 101-series actually has some VERY cool archmage-level-battlespells that will see A LOT of use in my high-level builds - spellbore particularly is just great. I also liked the curse for future generations and the fake death-spell. Due to not being as mega-iconic, but still being a great file and the minor editing glitches, I'll settle for a final score of 4.5 stars, rounded down to 4 for the purpose of this platform.
