Full Description
Chain Lightning
Evocation [Electricity] 1 standard action SRD
Reflex half - Yes Air 6, Arc 7, Duskblade 5, Shu 7, Sor/Wiz 6, Wmg 6 V, S, F
Instant Long General
Targets: One primary target, plus one secondary target/level (each of which must be within 30 ft. of the primary target)

1d6/level damage; 1 secondary bolt/level each deals half damage.

This spell creates an electrical discharge that begins as a single stroke commencing from your fingertips. Unlike lightning bolt, chain lightning strikes one object or creature initially, then arcs to other targets.

The bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) to the primary target. After it strikes, lightning can arc to a number of secondary targets equal to your caster level (maximum 20). The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal half as much damage as the primary one did (rounded down).

Each target can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage. You choose secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.

Clenched Fist
Evocation [Force] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Duskblade 5, Sor/Wiz 8, Strength 8 V, S, F/DF
1 round/level (D) Medium General
Effect: 10-ft. hand

Large hand provides cover, pushes, or attacks your foes.

This spell functions like interposing hand, except that the hand can interpose itself, push, or strike one opponent that you select. The floating hand can move as far as 60 feet and can attack in the same round. Since this hand is directed by you, its ability to notice or attack invisible or concealed creatures is no better than yours.

The hand attacks once per round, and its attack bonus equals your caster level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (for a wizard, cleric, or sorcerer, respectively), +11 for the hands Strength score (33), 1 for being Large. The hand deals 1d8+11 points of damage on each attack, and any creature struck must make a Fortitude save (against this spells save DC) or be stunned for 1 round. Directing the spell to a new target is a move action.

The clenched fist can also interpose itself as interposing hand does, or it can bull rush an opponent as forceful hand does, but at a +15 bonus on the Strength check.

Clerics who cast this spell name it for their deities.

Disintegrate
Transmutation 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial (object) - Yes Arc 7, Destruction 7, Duskblade 5, Shu 7, Sor/Wiz 6, Wmg 6, Wuj 7 V, S, M/DF
Instant Medium General
Effect: Ray

Makes one creature or object vanish.

A thin, green ray springs from your pointing finger. You must make a successful ranged touch attack to hit. Any creature struck by the ray takes 2d6 points of damage per caster level (to a maximum of 40d6). Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this spell is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disintegrated creature's equipment is unaffected.

When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as much as one 10-foot cube of nonliving matter. Thus, the spell disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure targeted. The ray affects even objects constructed entirely of force, such as forceful hand or a wall of force, but not magical effects such as a globe of invulnerability or an antimagic field.

A creature or object that makes a successful Fortitude save is partially affected, taking only 5d6 points of damage. If this damage reduces the creature or object to 0 or fewer hit points, it is entirely disintegrated.

Only the first creature or object struck can be affected; that is, the ray affects only one target per casting.

Hold Monster
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates; see text - Yes Beguiler 5, Bestial 6, Brd 4, Duskblade 5, EmBarachiel 4, Law 6, Sor/Wiz 5, Wuj 5 V, S, M/DF
1 round/level (D); see text Medium General
Target: One living creature

As hold person, but any creature.

The subject becomes paralyzed and freezes in place. It is aware and breathes normally but cannot take any actions, even speech. Each round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. (This is a full-round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.)

A winged creature who is paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls. A swimmer can't swim and may drown.

Polar Ray
Evocation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Cold 8, Duskblade 5, Sor/Wiz 8, Wmg 8 V, S, F/DF
Instant Close General
Effect: Ray

Ranged touch attack deals 1d6/level cold damage.

A blue-white ray of freezing air and ice springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. The ray deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 25d6).
