	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!

		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...
