Chapter 8 - New Spells
This chapter includes a variety of new spells that can be used to supplement the choices provided in the Player's Handbook. These spells expand the options for the schools of abjuration, divination, and necromancy, thus making these specializations more attractive to player characters
Spell Descriptions
The game statistics listed for the spells below follow the guidelines on page 129 of the Player's Handbook. All of these spells are acquired, memorized, and recorded in spell books as described on page 41 of the Dungeon Master's Guide and page 81 of the Player's Handbook.
Spell Components
Material Components
In accordance with the listings in the Player's Handbook, material components are given below for the spells that require them. The DM must decide the precise amounts of these materials, as well as any other details about them. For instance, colour spray requires a "pinch" of coloured sand--the DM decides what exactly constitutes a "pinch." Likewise, dancing lights requires a glowworm--must the glowworm be alive, or can it be a preserved specimen? Less fussy DMs can allow their wizards as much latitude as they wish with material components, as long as they meet the general requirements of the spell description.
Verbal and Somatic Components
The DM makes the decision regarding precise verbal and somatic components for any spell, although suggestions from players should be considered; specific verbal and somantic components are not required, but they add colour to the game by giving players a clearer idea of exactly what procedures must occur in order for their PC wizards to cast spells. Requiring specific components can also make for some challenging game situations. For example, if a wizard is gagged, he may be prevented from casting spells with spoken verbal components. Similarly, a wizard with his hands bound behind him may have problems casting a spell whose somatic component requires specific hand gestures. (See Chapter 6 for more information about impaired casters and spell components.) Verbal components can be single words, brief phrases, snatches of poetry, chants, or nonsense syllables. They can be spoken, whispered, shouted, or sung. Verbal components can also be groans, grunts, coughs, whistles, or any other vocally-produced sound.
Often, the verbal component will relate to the effect of the spell. For instance, the verbal component for feather fall might be the whispered word "float," while a low, eerie moan might work for detect undead. Dimension door might be the spoken word "open," while the verbal component for gust of wind might be a slow exhalation of air. Somatic components can be any type of physical gesture. For some spells, merely touching or pointing at the target or subject is sufficient. More elaborate gestures are suitable for higher-level spells. In many cases, the somatic component will relate to the spell's effect. For instance, the somatic component for audible glamer might require the caster to put his hand to his ear as if he were listening. Rapidly rubbing the hands together might suffice for chill touch, while wiggling the fingers like a spider might serve as the somatic component for web.

| Description: This spell transforms the caster's face or the face of any creature touched by the caster into the horrifying visage of a rotting corpse. The effect of this illusion is so startling that when it is viewed by opponents, the wizard's party adds a modifier of +2 to their surprise roll. Creatures with low Intelligence or higher (Intelligence of 5 or greater) and with 1 Hit Die or less (or who are 1st level or lower) must make a successful saving throw when first viewing corpse visage or flee in terror for 1-4 rounds.
Corpse visage does not distinguish between friend and foe, and all who view it are subject to its effects. If the spell is cast upon an unwilling victim, the victim is allowed a saving throw to avoid the effect.
The material component is a rag or piece of cloth taken from a corpse. The cloth must be prepared by dotting it with paints of assorted colors.

| Description: This spell enables the caster to enchant the branch of a ginkgo or fruit tree to locate a common item that is hidden from view. Unlike locate object, the caster does not need to have a specific mental image of a particular item; rather, he only needs to state the name of the general type of item he wishes to locate, such as buried treasure, edible plants, or fresh water. However, divining rod will not locate invisible or magical items, nor will it locate items protected by obscure item or a similar spell.
Once the branch is enchanted, the caster holds the branch with both hands. If the desired item is within the range of the spell, the enchanted branch points in the direction of the item and gently pulls the caster along. The spell is not blocked by lead or any other substance. However, if an impenetrable obstacle is reached, such as the ground or a wall, the branch presses against it and stops. If there is no item matching the description within the spell range, the branch does not react, although the caster can move about and continue to search.
The material component for this spell is the branch from a ginkgo tree or a fruit tree, such as peach, apple, or lemon. The branch must be shaped like the letter Y, so that the caster can grasp a fork of the branch in each hand.

| Description: This spell fires a dagger of ice at the target. The caster makes a normal attack roll as if attacking with a missile weapon, factoring in the range from the attacker to the target (the ice knife has a long range of 30 yards, a medium range of 20 yards, and a short range of 10 yards). A successful hit causes 2-8 (2d4) hit points of damage. If the ice knife misses its target, consult the rules for grenade-like missiles on pages 62-63 of the Dungeon Master's Guide to determine where it lands.
When an ice knife strikes a solid object or a creature, the knife shatters, releasing a wave of numbing cold. All creatures within a 5-foot radius must make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation or suffer 1-4 hit points of cold damage and become numb for 1-3 rounds. Numbed creatures have their movement rates reduced by half and their chance to hit reduced by 2. Proximity to major sources of heat, such as a roaring bonfire, improves a creature's saving throw by +2.
An ice knife that misses or is lost cannot be picked up by the caster (or anyone else) and thrown again. If the ice knife is touched, it instantly shatters, releasing a wave of cold as described above. If a lost ice knife is not touched, it melts away in a pool of water 1 round after it was originally created; this melting occurs regardless of the environmental temperature.
The material components for this spell are a drop of water from melted snow and a tiny silver dagger.

If the ice knife is touched, it instantly shatters, releasing a wave of cold as described above. If a lost ice knife is not touched, it melts away in a pool of water 1 round after it was originally created; this melting occurs regardless of the environmental temperature.</br></br>The material components for this spell are a drop of water from melted snow and a tiny silver dagger." contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
