Reflect Divination
Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level

You reflect all divinations targeted at you back on their casters. Whenever a divination spell would reveal information about you, such as your alignment, surface thoughts, or similar to its caster, it instead reveals the same information, but in regards to its caster–thus, a caster would perceive you as being of the same alignment as he is, and having the same surface thoughts as he does. The caster does not receive any indication the information is not accurate.

Focus
A shard of a mirror.

Blinding Lash looks a little overpowered. Maybe 1d4/level, or 1d8/2 levels?

I think it should be fine when compared to other similar spells, like scorching ray.

Scorching Ray doesn't blind, though. And Blindness/Deafness is a second level spell itself.

I'm basing the balance off the fact that Scorching Ray will pretty consistantly be dealing more damage, and that blindness/deafness doesn't require both an attack roll and a save. Might be a bit off, still.

Scorching Ray deals more damage at level 3, equal at level 4, less at levels 5 and 6, and more again at level 7. It doesn't get a really sizeable benefit until level 11.

Just glancing at it, but:
"The tendril deals 1d8 points of fire damage per caster level, max 6d6."
Do your d8s turn into d6s sponteanously? :)

Point taken. I'll see how it looks with d4's.

Oops, I'll fix that.

Eternal Geas seems overpowered. Standard Action to cast and no saving throw to place an eternal command on someone?

I love the flavour, though :D The idea of the ghost still being bound by the geas just makes me happy in the evilest way.

Maybe change it to longer, more ritualized casting time, though, not something you can do in the middle of a fight :)

[Captain van der Decken]

You should make Eternal Geas have a duration of permanant. :rolleyes:
