(First Level Spells)

Sense School
(Divination)

Level: 1
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 10' path, 60' long
Saving Throw: None

This variant of sense magic allows the caster to detect all magics of one specific college (such as enchantment/charm, illusion/phantasm, elemental fire, etc.). The material component for this spell is a specially tinted piece of glass, crystal, or mica, with the exact tint based on the specific college to be sensed. In all other respects, this spell functions as sense magic.

(Fourth Level Spells)

Cancel School
(Abjuration; Special)

Level: 4
Range: 120 yards
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 20-foot cube
Saving Throw: None

By means of this variant of cancel magic, the caster cancels all magics of one specific college (such as enchantment/charm, illusion/phantasm, elemental fire, etc.). Wizard specialists able to learn and use abjuration magics cannot use this spell against their opposition schools. For example, an invoker couldn't use this spell against conjuration/summoning, and a fire elementalist couldn't use this spell against water elementalism. However, this restriction does not apply to abjurationists; they can use this spell against any college they want.

Wizard specialists normally unable to learn and use abjuration magics can still learn and use this spell, but only against their school of specialization. Thus, an illusionist can learn and use this spell only as "cancel illusion," and a transmuter can learn and use this spell only as "cancel alteration." In all other respects, this spell functions as cancel magic.

(Sixth Level Spells)

(Seventh Level Spells)

Anti-School Sphere
(Abjuration)

Level: 7
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: One turn/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One-foot/level diameter sphere
Saving Throw: None

When casting this variant of nega-magic sphere, the wizard specifies one college of magic (such as enchantment/charm, illusion/phantasm, elemental fire, etc.). Only those spells or spell-like abilities and effects belonging to the college chosen by the caster at the time of casting are negated by this barrier. Creatures that have been charmed as well as summoned and conjured creatures are not necessarily kept out of the warded area. If the college chosen was "enchantment/charm," then charmed creatures will be kept out, while if the college chosen was "conjuration/summoning," then summoned and conjured creatures will be kept out.

Wizard specialists able to learn and use abjuration magics cannot choose their opposition school as he college to be affected by this spell. However, this restriction does not apply to abjurationists; they can negate any college they want. Other than as detailed above, this spell functions in all other ways as nega-magic sphere.

Permissive Sphere
(Abjuration)

Level: 7
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: One turn/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: One-foot/level diameter sphere
Saving Throw: None

When casting this variant of nega-magic sphere, the wizard specifies one college of magic (such as enchantment/charm, illusion/phantasm, elemental fire, etc.). All spells and spell-like abilities and effects are negated by this barrier except for those belonging to the college chosen by the caster at the time of casting. Creatures that have been charmed as well as summoned and conjured creatures are normally kept out of the warded area. However, if the college chosen was "enchantment/charm," then charmed creatures will not be kept out, and if the college chosen was "conjuration/summoning," then summoned and conjured creatures will not be kept out.

Wizard specialists able to learn and use abjuration magics cannot choose their opposition school as he college to be affected by this spell. However, this restriction does not apply to abjurationists; they can permit any college they want. Other than as detailed above, this spell functions in all other ways as nega-magic sphere.
