This is a semi humorous spell I thought of and decided to make.
Wall of Text
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind Effecting, (Language Dependent for Trolling and Interesting Text)]
Level: Cleric 6, Bard 4, Sorcerer/Wizard 5,
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level)
Effect: One 5 ft. cube of text/level forming a unbroken wall, (Interesting or Trolling) or 2 10 foot cubes of text/level forming an unbroken wall (Bland)
Duration: 1 hour/level (D) (Bland), 10 minutes/level (D) (Interesting) or Concentration, up to 1 minute/level (Trolling)
Saving Throw: See Text
Spell Resistance: See Text
With this spell, you create a wall of words, at the casting you choose the type of text, chosen from the options below:
Bland: This version forms a wall of bland text that anyone reading cannot find anything interesting in. The letters swirl around providing 20% miss chance for all attacks that go through the wall for 5 ft, and a 50% miss chance for all attacks going through 10 or more ft. of text. You cannot see through more than 20 ft. of text. All versions of the spell provide the cover benefit however the bland wall of text provides no other benefits. This version allows no save and doesn't allow spell resistance, even if the save or is passed or spell resistance negates the effect the text is still there and provides cover, though the subject is not effected by any other ability of the spell.
Interesting: This version of the spell creates swirling letters in a language or in languages the caster can write in. The letters form something that the anyone that reads it finds highly engaging. Anyone that can read one or more of the languages the spell was made in within 30 ft. of any part of the wall must make a will save or be fascinated for the duration of the spell, if the save succeeds, the person is unaffected, however, anything that would bring new attention to the wall requires a new save. If the caster fails to overcome the creatures spell resistance is not effected by the fascination of the Wall of Text effect for the duration of the spell.
Trolling: This version of the spell creates swirling letters and characters in any language the caster knows and chooses to have be included at the casting that attempt to provoke, tease, and annoy anyone excepts for the caster that reads it. Any creature that can read one or more language that the spell is cast in within 30 ft. of at part of the wall must make a will save or approach in the quickest movement mode possible, ignoring any creature though trying to avoid any apparent hazard. Once within 5 ft. of the wall the subject must reply for 1d4+1/previous reply, while replying, the subject counts as dazed. Once the reply is completed, the wall grows another 5 ft. cube at any part of the wall that will keep it unbroken and within the spells range. The subject is entitled to another will save after replying with a -1 penalty/previous reply to stop replying, if not, the subject must reply again and make another will save. This continues until the caster ceases concentrating on the spell or a save is passed. If anything is done to bring attention to the wall of text, a subject that passed there save must make a new one with a +4 bonus. If it is failed the subject counts as being effected for the first time, (replies take 1d4 rounds, the penalty is reset) however, the time it takes to reply and penalty decreases by two instead of one the second time, three the third time etc. Once the save is passed the person always has the +4 bonus one there saves. A person that passed there save can point out that the wall is trolling, giving each person that understands a +4 bonus on there save. This may only happen once to each subject effected per time effected. If the caster fails to overcome spell resistance, the creature is not effected for the duration of the spell.
Focus: A math textbook with over 100 pages costing 15 GP. (Bland)
A adventure novel written in the language effected costing 50 GP/language. (Interesting)
A book of insults written in trolls blood in the languages effected costing 250 GP/language.
This is my first attempt at homebrew on GitP. I hope you like it.
EDIT: I guess I made Wall of Text, a wall of text, I hope it's the interesting variant. :smalltongue:
Thanks to willpell for adding this spell:
Text Denial; Lexicon Refused
Abjuration, Bard 1, Sorcerer (not Wizard) 2, Cleric 4
Range: Touch
Effect: Creature touched
Duration: 1 round per five caster levels, minimum 1 round
The target of the spell loses patience with all Language-Dependent illusion and abjuration spells; he is permanently immune to any such spell which he encounters during this spell's duration. This does not affect future castings of the same spell. Wizards may not prepare or cast this spell, nor may clerics whose deities grant access to the Knowledge domain (or who have selected that domain while not worshipping a deity).
