M1 Black Dagger (magic missile): the caster momentarily enchants his dagger, then makes a pass at a distant enemy with it. A cut doing 2-7 points of damage opens up on the victim, mirroring the swipe made by the dagger.
M1 Icicle (magic missile): the caster conjurs an icicle out of thin air, then hurls it for 2-7 damage
M1 Glacier (shield): the caster's skin becomes the bluish-white color of a glacier. Intense heat, as from a fire-based spell or large, open bonfire or furnace within 10' destroys the spell.
M2 Shatter (knock): the caster can freeze any lock, bar, or small object on the affected portal, causing it to become brittle and shatter with the first use of force.
M2 Freeze (web): instead of sticky strands, a layer of ice forms over the area affected, immobilizing all within. The ice can be physically broken or melted witht fire (standard 1-6 points of damage in the latter case to any characters touched by the flames).
M3 Fimbul Winter (fireball): the caster creates a zone of intense cold in an area. The duration is 1 round.
M1 Chitin (shield): the caster's skin turns into tough, articulated chitin for the duration of the spell, giving her a spiderlike appearance.
M1 Spiderbite (sleep): Range: Nil. Duration: Special. The caster can inject sleep-inducing poison by biting. This requires a roll to hit in combat. She can put 2d8 hit dice worth of creatures to sleep for 4d4 turns (determine the duration secretly when the spell is cast). Any creature bitten that was over 4+1 hit dice, or more hit dice than the caster has hit dice worth of poison remaining, is unaffected (the magic-user still loses the relevant hit dice worth of poison, however). Any unused poison disappears when the magic-user falls asleep or loses consciousness.
M1 Arrow-strike (magic missile): This spell enchants an ordinary arrow, which must then be fired from a bow within 1 round. The arrow hits automatically. Range and damage are those of the spell, not the normal arrow.

M2 Camouflage (invisibility): The caster's skin and clothing take on the exact hue of the background scenery. In dense vegetation, this works as a normal invisibility, otherwise it can only insure invisibility if he remains still. Sudden movements will give the caster away.
M2 Ensnare (web): The effect is caused by trees, bushes, roots, creepers, and even grass twining around the victim. The spell must be cast in an area where such greenery exists.
M3 Heartseeker (lightning bolt): This spell affects only one target. This spell is cast on an arrow, which must be fired from a bow within one turn.

M1 Firefinger (magic missile): A jet of flame shoots from the caster's fingertips, with standard effects. Highly flammable objects will ignite if struck directly.
M2 Eternal Flame (continual light): Range: Nil. When cast on any inanimate object, this spell creates a small fire that gives off as much heat as a torch, but which has the brilliance of a continual light spell. The eternal flame will not consume the object it is cast on, but will ignite anything else that it touches. It can be quenched only by immersion in water, or by magical means. Any fire that the spell's flame starts can be put out normally. It cannot be cast on a creature.
M2 Smoke Shadows (mirror image): This spell surrounds the caster with a 5' radius of semi-opaque smake in which 2-5 shadowy images appear. These are indistinguishable from the caster and move as he moves. The caster can see through the smoke normally.

She can put 2d8 hit dice worth of creatures to sleep for 4d4 turns (determine the duration secretly when the spell is cast). Any creature over 4+1 hit dice, or more hit dice than the caster has hit dice worth remaining, is unaffected. The spell duration ends after the caster loses consciousness.
M1 Whirlwind (protection from evil): a whirlwind surrounds the caster, picking up light items such as small papers and feathers to spin in the wind.
M1 Shocking Grasp (magic missile): magically shocks on creature within range.
M1 Stoneskin (shield): casters skin becomes hard and gray.
M3 Cone of Cold (lightning bolt): fires a whithering cone of cold which does not bounce off walls, but smashes into them (usually no extra effect). Fire-type creatures have a -4 to the saving throw.
M4 Electromagnetic Barrier (Wall of Fire): brings forth a shimmering curtain of electrical force.
M5 Bands of Ice (hold monster): creates bands of ice which bind a victim. A successful saving throw means the creature breaks the bands.
M1 Power: this spell is totally unpredictable, doing something weird and different every time, or may do nothing at all. First the DM sees if he can determine the effect by choosing it. Suggestions: (1)stun, (2)berserk, (3)forgetfulness, (4)fire, (5)lit, (6)cold, (7)confusion, (8)dimension door. Any spell that is cast should be augmented and made different (pretty lights, protection from evil with glowing blue spheres that surround the caster, etc). Or if he can't decide, use this chart (1d100). 01 to 10 makes nothing happen 11 85 random 1st level magic-user spell 86 92 backfire 1st level magic-user spell 93 97 random 1st level cleric spell 98 00 random 2nd level magic-user spell
1d8 (alternate chart) 1-4 : magic user spell of that level 5-6 : cleric spell of 1st (5) or 2nd (6) level 7-8 : druid spell of 1st (7) or 2nd (8) level

M2 Ice Knife (range: 40, duration: instant, effect: 5' radius): Fires a dagger of ice at the target, hitting as if thrown by the caster, for 2d4 points of damage.

M1 Mana Shield (range: 0, duration: 2 turns, effect: gives 2d4 mana hp): Protects the caster, effectively giving him 2d4 extra mana hit pints for the duration of the spell. Damage is taken from the shield first; of course multiple spells are not cumulative.
M2 Dark Missile* (range: 240', duration: 1 round, effectt: fires a missile of darkness): Operates like magic missile but also creates darkness on impact (save vs spells or be blinded). The reverse, Light Missile, creates light on impact.

M5 Dream* (range: same plane, duration: special, effect: communicate with another creature): This allows the caster tot visit and communicate with another creature through the victim's dream. If the victim wishes to wake up, he can make a save vs spells to avoid the dream. This spell does NOT cause the victim to fall asleep. The caster can try to give nightmares by attacking the victim in his dreams, creating phantasmal forces, etc. however, these things have no real effect. Should the caster want to cast this spell on a creature who is awake, they will merely be able to communicate telepathically.
