Spell Background:
Introduction
The following excerpt is taken
from the pages of Kressmer’s Eclectic
Grimoire of Spells, Arcana, and
Miscellaneous Enchantments, Compiled
by the gnome wizard, Kressmer C.
Brownburrows (better known as
“Kressmer the Odd”), the metal-
bound book itself is a marvelous
and disorganized hodgepodge of
missing and hidden pages, looseleaf
parchments, and hovering sigils,
accompanied by scribbled, almost
incomprehensible margin notes in
the old wizard’s spidery handwriting.
The tome has innumerable pages
and grows each year by another
several dozen. The only known copy
of the Eclectic Grimoire is currently
located in Kressmer’s Tower,
somewhere to the west of the
Elyrian capital city of Gannelel.
For over one hundred years,
Kressmer has collected spells
from the far reaches of Evernor
and created many of his own
– becoming the world’s foremost
creator and curator of unique,
unusual, and sometimes useful
spells. What follows is a small
section from that legendary book.
living, corporeal creature in an incredily
The wizad Bellamy Prympax devised the following
ell so that he would not have to aste precious
time cowering in fea every time he decided to loot a
dragon’s lai. Upon sharing it with the local League of
Wizadry, the council found many more applications
fo the abjuration and quickly copied it down. Now,
it has become quite common throughout the Realms
of Everno.
Bellamy’s Aura of Blasé Detachment
Abjuration
Level: Brd 6, Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard aion
Range: Creature touched
Effect: Immunity to fear effects
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The target of this ell becomes immune
to all fea ells and effects, frightful presence
abilities, intimidate checks, and the like for
the duration of the ell. While under the
influence of Bellamy’s aura of lasé detachment,
the target cannot be shaken, panicked, or
otherwise emotionally rattled. In addition, the
target becomes quite unimpressed with her
surroundings – whatever they might be at the
time.
Spell Background
An accidental discovery, the following ell quickly
and permanently bonds any two objects togethe. The
nature of the adhesive is unknown and, although
Kresme swears by its utility, this ell has not been
widely adopted fo use by othe ellcasters.
Kressmer’s Ardent Adhesion
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard aion

Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
This ell instantly coats one item or a single,

until they leave the ell’s effect. Spells up to
powerful adhesive mucous. The ell’s target is
instantly and forever bonded to the next solid
object or creature that comes into physical
contact with it. No amount of strength or magic
will separate the two, although the ell’s effects
can be dismissed by the caster or nullified with a
successful greate diel magic check, or by means
of a wish or miracle.
Material Component: A vial of tree sap.
Spell Background
Upon rescuing his toad familia, Milton, from a
mindles rable of orcs, the gnome wizad Kresme
placed a powerful curse upon the offending tribe
(before teleporting himself and Milton to safety). The
effects of the curse ere not immediately apparent.
Howeve, ove the period of the next ten eeks, an
infestation of hundreds of scores of toads arrived and
overran the illage. The haples orcs, once convinced
that trying to slay the invading amphibians as a
hopeles cause, fled in panic from the place neve to
return. The toads remain there still…
Kressmer’s Toad Swarm
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 aion
Range: Touch
Target: One locale of no more than 3 square
miles
Duration: Instantaneous (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Essentially a powerful and ecialized curse,
this ell designates an area for occupation by a
great number of real actual toads. The toads (the
number summoned is equal to 10,000 times the
caster’s level) arrive over the course of the next
1d10+1 weeks in equal numbers each day. The
toads that arrive take up permanent residence
within the ell’s area of effect and require no
food or water to survive there indefinitely. Any
toads that are slain or otherwise removed from
the area are replaced the following day.
Creatures in the infested area attempting to
move are reduced to one-half their normal eed
(rounded down) and are considered flat-footed
sixth level that require verbal components have
a 20% arcane failure chance due to the incessant
noise created by the toads, similar to the arcane
failure from casting while deafened No crops
can be grown and no game can be hunted
within the ell’s area of effect, making the place
uninhabitale to most other types of creatures
and wildlife.
The caster of Kresme’s toad swarm may
dismiss the ell at any time, sending the
summoned toads back to their reective points
of origin.
Arcane Material Component: A dead fly.
Maw of the Purple Worm
Evocation (Force)
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard aion
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./level)
Effect: One ectral maw
Duration: One round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This ell creates a shimmering, translucent
likeness of a purple worm’s maw made
completely out of magical force. The maw is
completely at the command of the caster but
otherwise behaves as a purple worm with the
following modifications:
1. The maw is a force effect and can affect
creatures on the ethereal plane.
2. The maw has DR 20/magic.
3. The maw is considered a magical attack
and can affect incorporeal creatures or creatures
with the appropriate damage reduction.
4. The maw possesses no sting attack.
5. Creatures engulfed by the maw are sent
to an extra-dimensional space that functions
precisely like a purple worm’s gizzard. Weapons
used to “cut” the gizzard open, however, must be
magic to overcome the maw’s DR.
6. Creatures trapped in the maw’s gizzard
when the ell expires must make a Fortitude
save or suffer triple the normal crushing damage
from the gizzard (6d8+36).
7. The maw is considered Gigantic for
purposes of using its swallow whole ability.
 8. The maw has no skills or feats.
9. The maw has 10 hit points for every level
of the caster and can be attacked as a regular
purple worm can.
