I play a Thassilonian Specialist Sloth wizard (Conjurer) and have very few options for swarms, as Evocation is forbidden to me. I am looking for spells to combat swarms and ran across Molten Orb:

"You create a fist-sized, red-hot ball of molten metal that you immediately hurl as a splash weapon. A direct hit deals 2d6 points of fire damage. Every creature within 5 feet of where the ball hits takes 1d6 points of fire damage from the splash (Reflex half). Each of these creatures takes an additional 1d6 points of fire damage on its turn for the next 1d3 rounds, unless it is cooled off (with water, snow, or any effect that deals 5 or more points of cold damage)."

Does this spell affect swarms?

Also on the same topic does Silver Darts affect swarms?

"A cone of silver darts springs from your hand. These darts act as a silver weapon that deals 1d6 points of piercing damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). Any creature with an armor bonus greater than +4 or a natural armor bonus greater than +4 takes 50% less damage."

If the answer is no for these, would A swarmbane clasp change the answer?

These rules make me sad. As a cleric I have chosen to focus a bit on channeling, even though many folks claim channel heals don't scale well at higher levels. I like channeling, its a cool ability and I wanted to make my channels more useful. I was especially excited to discover the Undead Slayer's Handbook and the Bless equipment feats. These seem to give me some additional utility in a support role. The one thing that is upsetting me about this whole story is that in order to boost my Channel dice, I had to give up my head slot +4 bonus to wisdom. I can still get a rod of Splendor (not cheap for a PFS character) to boost my cha, and get my number of channels/day higher, but eventually it appears I'll have to loose the extra 2 dice to get +4 to Wisdom, and that makes me sad. I was really hoping there was a way to combine the Phylactery with the Wis/Cha headband.

At the end of the thread on this link someone suggests combining the effects of 2 headbands (Phylactery of Positive Channeling and Head Band of Wisdom + 4) by multiplying the cost of both items by 1.5. Is this an acceptable custom item in PFS?

If, as a channeling caster, you have an Orange Prism, does the +1 caster bonus (or +1d4-2+1 with a wayfinder) apply to the number of dice you roll on a channel as well?
