This spell alows the recipient to see in darkness as if it isnormal
daylight. This does not grant vision in magical darkness. If the
person under the effect of this spell encounters a non-dark area
where he can see normally, the spell will end, and he will not be
able to see in darkness any more.

Sound proof bubble
Level           4 Wiz
Sphere          Alteration
Duration        2 Round per level of caster
Range           5 feet per level of caster
Area of Effect  10' rad around target
Saving Throw    Negate
Components      Who cares.

If the caster casts this spell, he brings about an invisible bubble
with rad of 10' centered at the target he selects. Depending on the
caster's choice, the spell can work in one of 2 Ways :
  a) No sound can enter the bubble, and no sound can leave the bubble,
     but sound inside the bubble, and outside the bubble, stays
     normal. I.e. The caster and a few companions can have a nice and
     quiet conversation inside this bubble while a deafening noise is
     raging (whatever) outside.
  b) He opt to allow sound to pass in or out through the bubble, or
     both or none. He can change the function of the bubble anytime
     before the duration ends, but this version of the spell
     requiers (sp?) the caster to concentrate the whole time he
     want to maintain the bubble. THe bubble's function can be
     changed 1'ce per round. Also this version of the spell have to
     be centered on the caster.

This spell will proof safety to sound based attacks, but each such
attack has a commulative 15% chance of bursting the bubble. I.e. the
first attack has a 15% chace, the second has a 30 percent chance,
etc. Note that the attacker can walk into the bubble, and then attack
those inside the bubble, and any1 outside won't hear the sound/attack.

Wizzards and priests CAN cast spells with verbal components inside
the bubble, but if the spell uses a sound based effect, those sounds
will not be able to pass through the bubble. If the sound originates
from an ilusion outside the bubble, You won't be able to hear it
inside the bubble. Also, If I remember correctly, There is a wizzard
spell that allows the caster to make a sound with his mouth, and will
sound as if it originated from somewhere else. How you rule the
effect of this spell, is up to you (DM) when cast inside the bubble.
Please tell your players before hand how you will handle it.

If you want to cast the spell on an unwilling recipient, (For example
someone with a horn of disruption) he is allowed a saving throw
versus spell to negate the spell.

Reshape Spell (level 4)
--------------
Components:     S
Range:          nil
Area of Effect: Caster
Casting Time:   1 round
Duration:       N/A
Saving Throw:   N/A

By casting this spell, the caster can select any one of his spells
currently memorized, and then reshape the pattern it has taken in his
brain into that of another spell, while looking at a scroll or his
spell book to select the new pattern he wants it to be in.

It can only make a spell's energy into that of a lower spell, since
some of the energy will go lost, and the two spells have to be in the
same school. And the new spell has a maximum spell level of 6. (When
the caster can cast 7th level spells, he has to shape a 7th, 8th or
9th level spell into a 6th level spell)

This spell is there to use in emergencies when you studied the wrong
spell, and you have only a short time to relearn a new spell. If the
caster is desturbed while casting this spell, the energy is lost.
