A better way to fake a "magic amulet" is as follows: Cast a magic mouth on the mundane amulet, to be activated by a dwarf wearing a tutu riding a purple zebra sneezing. The magic mouth should say," Bless you!" Since magic mouth lasts until activated or dispelled, it will radiate magic long after Nystuls Magic Aura has worn off! Enjoy!

*** YOUR MESSAGE *** Hello out there in netland: Since our favourite group is momentarily dead I thought I'd liven things up with a new topic of discussion- SPELL DISTORTION !!! One of the things that DM's hate most and we pc's love to do. Following this letter are some things I've done/thought up and had crammed down my throat as my dm threw me out the door. I'm sure you guys have stuff like this- Brian at Princeton for his archpriest of Dionysus had spells like "drunkenness" and "Aura/Curse of Bachus"-- this is what we're looking for here. New spells, spell usage and the like. Following this are magical applications but I'm also interested in some good intermediate level Cleric Spells. So get going! Moshe Eliovson philabs!aecom!eliovson My First (poor) Selection 1) Trapped on a desert island with no place to go? (and this was done!) Conjure a Wall of Ice in the right proportions and you've got yourself an iceberg boat! 2) Didn't get the familiar you wanted? Research the spells: constitution (lvl 3) &constitution II (lvl 4) constitution acts like a strength/ friends spell for your CON attribute; constitution II works the same way but on an animal. What's going on?!? Remember- POLYMORPH OTHER requires a system shock! Now that your familiar has a CON of 18 10% ZAP IT! 3) Hiring Henchmen- don't forget the FRIENDS spell. (lvl 1) 4) Trading magic for magic? Buy an amulet for 150gp and cast a Nystul's Magic Aura on it, then throw it in with some other magic items and call it an amulet of the planes or proof against detection! Note: you may have to use a suggestion spell to make sure the buyer doesn't test it- or better yet- thinks it works!

Speaking of a Wall of Ice, try casting one on the floor, then casting a Lightning Bolt in contact with the ice sheet (or an "enhanced" Shocking Grasp) just as the opposing party steps on the ice... SJBerry
