hile the public often marvels at the feats of coordination displayed by the artists at circuses and the like, what they are unable to see is that sometimes they are merely normal people enchanted by the local hedge wizard.

his spell invokes an aura of protection around the target, which sometimes protects him from being attacked by entities of opposite alignment—that is, good-aligned characters are protected from evil aggressors, evil-aligned characters are protected from good aggressors, and neutrally-aligned characters are protected from very evil and very good aggressors. The amount of protection offered increases as both the spell's recipient and his attacker get closer to perfect alignment: +1000 for good, -1000 for evil, or 0 for neutral.

Alignment Ward only provides protection from aggression—once a battle has begun, an alignment ward is powerless. It only has an effect if the caster is of the same general alignment as the target.

his potent spell surrounds you with a glowing aura of golden energy. This energy provides partial protection for your spirit against the often terrible effects of contact with the undead.

pon the utterance of this spell, a set of armor on the ground before you is temporarily animated as a golem who will follow you around, fight your battles, and take your orders. The armor must include a helm, gauntlets, body armor, leggings, arm-wear, and boots, and cannot be forbidden to you for any reason other than class-based restrictions. If you use magical armor, the golem will benefit from any bonuses granted by the items. Sturdier armors make for stronger golems.

his spell animates a zombie that will have Leveld8 hit points. This is an evil spell.

his spell allows you to temporarily imbue a mêlée weapon with mobility, causing it to independently move and fight in your defense, though not the intelligence to follow orders. The magic draws on your combat skills, causing the weapon to fight with an ability equal to your own; this aspect, however, prevents it from working on weapons that you could not wield yourself.

The use of area effect magic while backlashed can be extremely hazardous.

tilizing foul magics, the antipaladin avatar throws a shroud of evil over his target, encasing him in inky gloom and rendering him completely immune to magical healing. While it is of no use against natural regeneration, nothing short of divine intervention can affect a Blackmantle before it wears off. Blackmantle also has the beneficial side effect of providing immunity to energy draining.

his spell causes an aura of power to spring from you that appears as ephemeral, glowing steel wool. This aura dulls the blades of opponents, preventing them from cutting the caster with anywhere near their full force. When cast at avatar or higher level, Bladeturn's duration is increased to one hour for every three levels.

he bless spell will improve the target character's hitroll by two and willpower saving throws by five. It only has an effect if the caster is of the same general alignment as the target.

When bless is cast on an undamaged object, it causes the item to be unharmed by the first point of durability damage done to it.

The blessing is dispelled after it absorbs the damage.

	Geomancy:	Earth, Magma, or Ooze

ontingency allows you to pre-cast a spell that will automatically and instantly activate without mana cost immediately after you're damaged to the specified number of hit points or below, similarly to the way the Wimpy command allows you to automatically flee.

The contingent spell will activate without any chance of losing your concentration, even if you are delayed, paralyzed, stunned, bashed, silenced, or otherwise incapacitated at the time; nor can it be counterspelled or turned. However, it must be castable when it triggers—for example, a contingent Storm of Vengeance will fail if you fall below the hit point trigger while indoors, a contingent Shriek will fail if you're silenced, and no contingent spell will work in an anti-magic area. Furthermore, it is still affected by such things as spell immunity and magic resistance.

Contingency can only succeed with a mastered spell; for any others it will fail utterly. The chosen spell will be cast without arguments—in other words, you cannot 'cast contingency 500 control weather better'; at best, you could 'cast contingency 500 control weather', and since Control Weather requires an argument, the spell would fail when activated.

You can only have one active contingency at a time, and it cannot be changed or dispelled until it's activated.
