MAGIC CIRCLE: GREATER (Abjuration) [Rune, See Text]
As protection from evil, but radiating and protecting against alignment or alignments of choice.
Level: Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 4
Area: 10ft radius emanation from touched creature
Duration: 1 minute/level

Magical runes briefly erupt in a circle around you, granting you protection against creatures of specific alignments.

This spell functions like protection from evil, except as noted above and as follows. When you cast greater magic circle you can designate one or two of the following alignments against which it grants protection: chaos, evil, good, law, or neutrality. When cast to protect against neutrality, the spell offers protection against any creature with a neutral component to their alignment. The level of protection the spell affords depends on both the number of alignments you designate and whether or not you designate neutrality.

When you cast this spell to protect you against a single alignment component - either chaos, evil, good, or law - against the attacks of creatures with the designated alignment component the spell grants the recipient and all within the emanation a +4 deflection bonus to AC, a +4 resistance bonus to saves, and protection against possession. The spell carries the descriptor opposite to the designated alignment component - when greater magic circle is designated to protect against evil, for example, it carries the Good descriptor.

When you cast this spell to protect you against two alignment components - chaos, evil, good, and/or law - against the attacks of creatures with one of the designated alignment components the spell grants the recipient and all within the emanation a +2 deflection bonus to AC, a +2 resistance bonus to saves, and protection against possession. Against a creature with both designated alignment components, the bonuses increase to +3. The spell carries the descriptors opposite to the designated alignment components - when greater magic circle is designated to protect against evil and chaos, for example, it carries the Good and Lawful descriptors.

When the spell is designated to protect against neutrality, the deflection and resistance bonuses are decreased by -1, and the spell carries only the descriptor opposing the non-neutral alignment component designated, or no alignment descriptor if neutrality is the only component designated - when greater magic circle is designated to protect against neutrality and law, for example, it carries the Chaotic descriptor, but when designated to protect against only neutrality, it carries no alignment descriptor.

MANTLE OF EQUILIBRIUM (Abjuration)
You gain a +4 to AC and saves and SR 15 against non-neutral attacks for 1 round/level.
Level: Drd 8; Neutrality 8
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 20 feet
Target: One creature/level in a 20ft.-radius burst centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The recipients are cloaked in a misty gray aura that repels all but the perfectly balanced.

A hazy mantle of milky gray surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by creatures without a neutral component to their alignment, and causing non-neutral creatures that strike the subjects to become held. This abjuration has four effects.

First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from imbalance, the benefit of this spell applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by non-neutral creatures.

Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 15 against chaotic, evil, good, and lawful spells and spells cast by non-neutral creatures.

Third, the abjuration blocks possession and mental influence, just as protection from imbalance does.

Finally, if a non-neutral creature succeeds on a melee attack against a warded creature, the offending attacker is held for 1 round (Will save negates, as with the hold monster spell, but against the save DC of mantle of balance).

Focus: a tiny reliquary containing some sacred relic, such as a scrap of parchment from a druidic text, that costs at least 500gp.


MARCH OF TIME (Necromancy) [Temporal]

Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Living humanoid touched
Duration: 1 round/3 levels
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

With your touch, time ravages your enemy as age proceeds at a gruesome rate, marching your victim closer and closer to the death of dust in a matter of moments.

You cause the humanoid touched to make a Fortitude save. If the creature succeeds at the save, it is stunned for 1d4 rounds. If it fails the save, its body advances one age bracket each round of the spell, suffering all the normal ability score penalties with each advancement but none of the ability score bonuses. When the creature reaches Venerable age, it falls unconscious. The next round, it dies of old age; the next round, it crumbles to dust.

Creatures immune to magical aging are immune to this spell. This spell can be halted with dispel magic, heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish. If ended prematurely, the effects of this spell can be reversed with greater restoration, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish.

Material Component: a strand of hair from a lich.

Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)

To the sounds of scraping gears, grinding metal, and hissing steam, you become a construct.

You transform into a mechanical version of yourself, granting you some of the attributes of a construct. While under the effects of mechamorphosis, you are considered to have no Constitution score and immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless); however, you gain 20 temporary hit points (for a Medium caster) that disappear at the end of the spell. You enjoy immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, energy drain, and death from massive damage. While you retain your sentience, your mind now inhabits a mechanical brain, granting you a +4 bonus to saves against Mind-Affecting spells and effects. You gain a +4 bonus to your Strength score and damage reduction 10, as well as low-light vision and darkvision out to 60 feet for the duration of the spell.

If reduced to 0 hit points while under the effects of mechamorphosis, you are rendered unconscious and the spell immediately ends. Damage suffered as a construct cannot be healed with Healing magic until resuming your organic form. However, when cast on a creature under the effects of mechamorphosis, mending heals 1d8 points of damage and make whole functions as heal.

Material Component: a machine gear smeared with dried blood.
