What are some of the best spells you've researched and used in game? Details please.


The Kent signal
School illusion; Level sorcerer/wizard 4, summoner ? witch ? bard ?;
CASTING
Casting Time 1 minute
 Components V, S, M (a hand written note)
EFFECT
Range a mile per level[see text];
Target no target
Duration 1 hour per caster level
Saving Throw no save; Spell Resistance no
DESCRIPTION

When you cast this spell flaming words one hundred feet high appear in the sky and can be seen for a mile per caster level around. You may put up to 1 word per caster level in the message. This is very good for getting a message out there. This can not be used with magic runes or other rune based traps.
[/b] this spell can not be metamagiced [b]

A great way to get the word out and show that you know your stuff. I might have been able to argue for a lower level.

I like that.

Edit: Though, why not metamagic?


only metamagic i can think of that would have any effect... is... heighten? maybe... though, no SR, save, etc...

Extend.

Edit: I cant see why it would be harmful to allow MM, so why bother mentioning it in the spell description?


The reason for no meta-magic was that the DM still remembered the locate city bomb and wasn't going to allow anything with that big a area without that clause. In fact all home-brewed spells had to have that clause just in case he had missed something.


Can't a Silent Image do the same thing?


Can't be seen as far away and requires concentration also I think the area is smaller. As I said I might have been able to argue for it to be lower level.
