Dispel Evil
Duration: Concentration (up to 1 turn) or instant (see below)
Range: 30’
This spell has three uses:
1. Ward: By concentrating and remaining stationary, enchanted or undead monsters that come within range may be banished or destroyed. Each monster may save versus spells to avoid banishment or destruction. If a monster’s save succeeds, it flees the affected area.
2. Target single monster: Instantly banish or destroy a single enchanted or undead monster within range. The monster may save versus spells (with a –2 penalty) to avoid banishment or destruction. If the monster’s save succeeds, it flees the affected area.
3. Dispel curse: Instantly dispel the hold that a cursed item has over a being within range.

Insect Plague
Duration: Concentration (up to 1 day)
Range: 480’
Cast above ground, this spell conjures a 60’ diameter swarm of flying insects with the following properties:
▶ Movement: 20’ per round. While the swarm is within range, the caster is able to direct its movements.
▶ Vision: Within the area of the swarm is obscured.
▶ Creatures of 2 HD or less: Are driven away, if caught within the swarm.
▶ Concentration: If the caster moves or loses concentration, the swarm dissipates, ending the spell.
Restrictions: The spell has no effect if cast underground.
Quest
Duration: Until quest is completed / Instant (remove quest)
Range: 30’
The caster commands a single subject to perform a specific quest or task.
▶ Examples: Rescuing a prisoner, killing a specific monster, bringing a magic item to the caster, or going on a journey to a holy site.
▶ Suicidal quests: The prescribed quest must not be obviously suicidal.
▶ Saving throw: The subject may save versus spells, with success indicating that the quest has no effect.
▶ Refusal: Otherwise, the subject must undertake the quest or fall under a curse (per the curse spell, with the exact nature of the curse determined by the referee).
▶ Completion: Once the task is completed, the spell ends.
Reversed: Remove Quest
Can dispel an active quest spell. If the character who cast the quest spell to be nullified is higher level than the character casting remove quest, there is a chance of the spell having no effect. The probability of failure is 5% per level the caster is below the caster of quest.
Raise Dead
Duration: Instant
Range: 120’
This spell has two uses:
1. Restore life: To a recently deceased human or demihuman. See below.
2. Destroy undead: A single undead monster is destroyed, if it fails a saving throw versus spells.
Restoring life: When used to restore life, the following stipulations apply:
▶ Time limit: The caster can raise a person that has been dead for no longer than four days per level of the caster above 7th. For example, a 10th level caster can revive a character that has been dead for twelve days (three levels above 7th × four days).
▶ Weakness: Returning from death is an ordeal. Until the subject gets two full weeks of bed rest, they have 1 hit point, move at half the normal rate, cannot carry heavy items, and cannot attack, cast spells, or use other class abilities. This period of weakness may not be shortened by any magical healing.
Reversed: Finger of Death
Directs a ray of deadly magic at a single target. If the target fails a saving throw versus death, it dies instantly. Casting finger of death is a chaotic act; it will only be used by lawful casters in desperate situations.
