I?m always on the lookout for unique new spells to trick out my magic users, so I was eager to see what these were all about (particularly since..hey, they're FREE!) As a player, I would love to use these spells, but as a GM I would have to think twice because a few of them should be higher level spells than they are.

Gas Mask is too powerful for a 3rd level spell, since it last one hour per caster level and apparently can affect an unlimited number of allies! Even though the duration gets divided between all the targets, at 7th level I could conceivably protect 7 people for one hour each, or 14 people for 30 minutes each, or 28 people for 15 minutes each! It?s also not clear whether the spell protects from supernatural stink (like a ghast) Rainbow Cloak also seems too strong for 3rd level, as it allows the user to jump between fire, cold, acid, electricity, sonic, poison, and force resistance 20 each round. Considering that the similar spell Resist Energy is 2nd level and doesn?t include protection from force and poison and can?t be changed each round, for this to only be third level is a little unbalanced.

At the other end of the spectrum though, why would I want to cast Kressmer?s Moment of Deflection, which will only last one round, when I can cast Mage Armor that will last for hours? Sure, I get a cool zero level spell, but I?d rather reserve that slot for the always useful detect magic or mage hand.

<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: As a player, they allow some more potent spells at lower levels...increasing survivability.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: As a GM, I'd want to scale some of the spells and maybe make them higher level.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
