Extraordinary Spells

[zabbarot]

So I'm working on a class that would basically pretend to be a spell caster(Found here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15217398#post15217398)). No actual magic exists in the whole class but they get casting comparable to a wizard. My question is what spells do you guys think could be reasonably reproduced through mundane means?

This is what I've got so far and the skills that I feel could justify them. Also the class is based off of stage magic so these are mostly flashy illusions and fire. Some of them have numbers by them because I was sorting all this mess out by spell level. The crafted ones where the most important to the feel of the class. The others I'm not so sure about.

Half of those are ones I already had and the other half are things I wasn't sure I could justify. My basis for what I could justify was what a stage magician could pull off in real life. Smoke and mirrors kinds of stuff.

I'm not sure how you could literally make someone next to you stronger ala bull's strength, or actually summon an extraplanar creature. I mean I'm sure you could keep one around for pulling out of a hat with some work, but actually summoning a celestial creature in combat should be real magic. Do you see where I'm coming from? I just want effects that I could literally go outside and duplicate with sleight of hand and the right tools for the most part.

But I understand, why use spells at all then?

[Prime32]

Undead creation spells could justified as advanced surgery (see Franken Fran (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/FrankenFran)). Because you had to move so many things around, repurpose so many organs and graft on foreign tissue, healing magic will kill the subject as it tries to "fix" the things keeping them alive.

Or, y'know, you could use voodoo zombies.
