Counterspell (3rd-level abjuration)

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.

Silence (2nd level mage)

Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Wiz 2, Brd 2, Clr 2
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 20-ft.-radius emanation centered on a creature, object, or point in space
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text or none (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes; see text or no (object)

Upon the casting of this spell, complete silence prevails in the affected area. All sound is stopped: Conversation is impossible, spells with verbal components cannot be cast, and no noise whatsoever issues from, enters, or passes through the area. The spell can be cast on a point in space, but the effect is stationary unless cast on a mobile object. The spell can be centered on a creature, and the effect then radiates from the creature and moves as it moves. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use spell resistance, if any. Items in a creature's possession or magic items that emit sound receive the benefits of saves and spell resistance, but unattended objects and points in space do not. This spell provides a defense against sonic or language-based attacks.

Rogier Van Der Weyden — The current Father-Abbot of the Seekers in their chapterhouse at Helix. Rogier is a retired adventurer (CLE 3/Sohei 4). He has held this position of authority and leadership since PR 198.

Spirit Recall is a powerful ritual that can sometimes restore life to a deceased person by manipulating time, causing it to reverse itself in an area immediately surrounding the target of this ritual. When the ritual succeeds, the deceased person's body is regressed in time to a point prior to injury, fatal disease, fatal accident, etc. and coaxes the spirit back into its physical shell.

If this ritual is successful, you return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.

This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an undead creature to life.

This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival--its head, for instance--the spell automatically fails. If cast by someone with 30+ arcane and/or clerical caster levels, even missing body parts are restored as part of the spell or ritual.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a −4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.

When enacted as a spell instead of a ritual, this effect is called Restore Life and casting the spell saps the caster, leaving her with one level of "One D&D"-style exhaustion. This exhaustion doesn't occur if this is enacted as a lengthier ritual.

Wizardtower is a community on the north bank of the Ash River, east of the foothills of the Soot Mountains. The village takes its name from the wizard's tower overlooking it from the north.

Fornost d'Voivodja — The abbot who founded the Seekers in Pre-Ravaging 102, in Helix. This 332-year-old human is a 19th level cleric of Arcantryl. He is an Expert 9 (Archaeologist 5/Investigator 4)/Cleric 19 — OVL-28 with THAC0 12 and 126 HP. No longer the acting father-abbot of the Seekers' Chapterhouse, he has retired and abides in his tower in Wizardtower, a bastion that has stood for over six centuries. Fornost wasn't the original dweller. Some think he has ties to the wizard who raised the tower.

Available to anyone with at least one level in Paladin. Expend a Risk Die from your Risk Dice Pool by rolling it. Let Y equal the sum or your Wisdom and Charisma modifiers (if this results in a value less than 2, set X to 2). Let Z equal your total paladin levels. If you successfully activate this deed, deal an additional {Risk Die Result x (Y+Z)} points of radiant damage to the foe, and it receives a penalty of -{8 - Risk Die Result} on its very next attack roll or saving throw, whichever happens first. You may only use Righteous Fervor once in a given combat encounter. You may activate it after confirming that one of your melee attacks hits successfully. If you deal in excess of 99 damage on the attack to which Righteous Fervor is applied, automatically gain a percentile point in Wisdom. Otherwise, there is a (Y+Z)% chance of same.
