Originally published by March 2001, the Priest’s Codex contains a collection of custom spells created by authors at Heroes Only. All of these spells have been used and tested within the gaming environment, but of course you should consider their effects on your own campaign before adopting them.
This list of spells is updated from time to time, with the “last modified” timestamp appearing at the end of the article.
First Level Spells
Refresh 1

Third Level Spells
Sacrifice 1
Author: Angelo Bertolli
Range: touch

Effect: This spell allows the cleric to transfer any desired number of hit points from himself to the target.

This is considered a chaotic act.
