Is there any way to change a spell's school?

Title. If not clear, I mean change a spell from Transmutation to Abjuration, say. I thought there was something for this, but I can't find anything so I think I was wrong. Figure it can't hurt to double check though.

My end goal (for the curious) is trying to cast a personnel spell (paragon surge) onto a teammate. The half elf ranger is really behind the rest of the team, and I thought this spell from my cleric might make things interesting for her. I thought I had found a way with 'imbue with spell ability' but the school types don't work. I know some items could help (i think ring of storing is one, could be wrong on that) but it's a low money game so anything over 4,000 gold might as well be impossible. I keep looking for a way to make it work, but keep striking out I'm afraid.

I don't think so. If your GM allows 3pp that may work.

Ranger is a solid class. Why is he struggling? <----We may be able to provide help in a different way.

The only way I know to get personal spells on someone else is a potion, or the Alchemist "infusion" discovery.

Yeah, the Ring of Spell Storing or a Potion are good choices. If the ally has Use Magic Device, they could activate a scroll, wand or staff as well.

To the more general question, how to change a spells school, the Shadow Evocation, Shadow Conjuration (and greater versions), as well as Limited Wish, Wish and Miracle are all able to mimic spells of other school. Miracle is especially nice as an evocation.

You can't make potions of personal spells. You can UMD a scroll, wand, or staff of a personal spell, however.

Thanks for the help. I was trying to avoid a wand/scroll as she'd have to cast it instead of me, plus the whole 'cost' thing (a level 1 wand is a big deal in this game).

As for the ranger, she has a sub-optimal build, using a sword and shield while still managing to have low AC. We're level 7 now, and she just grabbed 'spring attack' which isn't doing her any favors (her first attack has enough trouble hitting with her attempting to dual wield her sword and shield, never mind her second). The party is just out of balance: we have a sorcerer who has put everything into blasting, a fighter whose AC is through the roof, the ranger in question, and my cleric buffing the party. The ranger usually ends up setting up flanks for the fighter and letting her animal (dog) do much of the work. I give her bull's strength, bless, and other bonus' as I can, and she says it's fine... still, I worry as she's in that 'jack of all trades, master of none' roll. I was hoping Paragon surge would let her use new feats for a few minutes, let her see what she likes and plan ahead for it.
