Aura of Unluck
enchantment (compulsion)[mind-affecting]
Level: Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 1 full action
Range: close (10ft. + 5ft./caster level)
Area: 10ft. radius centred on target area
Duration: (see text)
Saving Throw: none
Spell Resistance: yes

A potent spell which, when cast, creates an overwhelming aura of despair that affects all creatures within the aura. Once a creature has been in the area of the spell, they recieve a penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and damage rolls equal to 4 + (caster level/3) with a maximum penalty of -10. Unlike other area spells, the effects of this spell do not cease when an affected creature leaves the area. The despair caused by this spell is so crushing, it continues to haunt the affected creature for 12 hours. The only means of removing the Aura of Unluck is Mordenkainen's Disjunction, Miracle, or Wish, otherwise the Aura of Unluck remains for 24 hours after casting. The only means of removing the effects of the spell are Wish and Miracle. Dispel Magic, Greater Dispel Magic, Break Enchantment, Remove Curse, Antimagic Field, Mordenkainen's Disjunction, and Limited Wish do nothing to the effects Aura of Unluck. Aura of Unluck can be made permanent with a permancy spell.

Material Component: A vial of tears and a vial of the caster's blood

oops! for Elhonna it says "+3 longsword" , I mean't longbow

It's been a hundred years since I used these, so I've forgotten the statting and such, but I'd love to see someone else using them (so feel free to yoink them and tweak as desired) They were designed as "adventuring spells" for an elementalist -- easy to learn, but versatile in application.

Airblade
This was a scaling 1st level spell when I built it. It allows the caster to harden air into a 1" wide plane of glassy, translucent blue force. The airblade must be anchored on at least one edge, into non-living material. Casting time is almost instantaneous: The caster breaks a piece of mica or glass, and touches each half to the location of one end of the blade. Once cast, it remains for one round per caster level.
There are two variant uses for this spell:
1) It may be anchored at two sides across a doorway or hallway. The caster must place one hand at each anchor point, and the blade springs into existence between his hands. Therefore, the airblade can never exceed the length of the casters reach. (A human could create a 5'-6' blade, but a gnome would be limited to 3'-4') In this configuration, it acts as a trap, and allows a spot check/reflex save. Any creature attempting to move through the trapped square will take slashing damage, equal to 1d2 * (size category of creature) +1hp per caster level. [This is on the theory that larger critters have larger mass, and will thus press harder against the blade when they touch it. Also, at DM discretion, it could be capable of severing the limbs of a fast-moving enemy]
2) Alternately, it can be anchored onto a blunt weapon such as a quarterstaff, changing the damage type to slashing, and adding bonus damage of 1d2/caster level. [Normal attack rolls still apply: the airblade does not grant any form of competency in combat, it just makes your stick sharp -- nice against enemies with resistance to bludgeoning weapons.]

Channel Heat
This was also built as a scaling 1st level spell. The caster raises or lowers the temperature in a 20' x 20' x 20' cube of air (or equivalent volume) by 10 degrees. This builds up a "charge" in the caster's hands, which leaps to the next metal object she touches. If unused, the "charge" dissipates after 1 round/caster level, and the local air temperature returns to normal. If the ambient temperature is not especially hot or cold, the charge does 1d4 damage per caster level to any creature touching that object. If the caster cooled the air, this is expressed as fire damage; if the air was heated, this is cold damage. In hot environments, the fire damage gains a bonus of +2hp/caster level; cold environments likewise increase cold damage. Essentially this is a hot-and-cold running Chill Touch spell, with a 2 round casting time and no atk/stat injury. (So, a mage could use this to cool or heat an area, and then deliberately waste the charge, or my favorite: Cool the tent and heat the cookpot!)

Compress Air
Built as a 2nd level spell. The caster compresses an amount of air up to a 10' cube, down to 1/10th its original volume. Each round of casting, the mass of air loses 2/10 of it's original volume; thus to reach the maximum compression (and full spell effect), casting time is 5 rounds. While under the effect of this spell, the compressed air is semi-solid, and can be manipulated by hand, as though it were a lump of runny clay. The air remains spellbound for 10 minutes per caster level, though the caster can voluntarily end the spell. If the compressed air is placed in a suitably strong airtight container, it will remain compressed by physics once the spell ends. Creatures take no damage from breathing the compressed air -- the air that enters their lungs is at normal pressure; if placed in some sort of container, this spell will allow creatures to breathe underwater, as though they were still in a 10' cube of normal air. If the spell is voluntarily dropped, the air explodes back to its original volume. This acts as a spherical Gust of Wind, pushing light objects and creatures away from the center of the cube, and potentially blowing out normal fires. It also is quite noisy, and may deafen or stun creatures for one round. (Fort/Will respectively) Further, if the spell is dropped while the air-mass is in a fragile container, the container saves versus a crushing blow. If it fails, the container shatters and the expanding air sprays shards in all directions [my DM used 1d4 slashing for glass or pottery, or proportionately more for more durable substances such as metal.]

Airblade
Transmutation
Level: 1 Sor/Wiz
components: V, S, F
Casting time: free action
Range: Character height
Effect: One sword-like piece of hardened air
Duration: 1 Round/level
saving throw: Reflex half
spell resistance: None

[This is on the theory that larger critters have larger mass, and will thus press harder against the blade when they touch it. Also, at DM discretion, it could be capable of severing the limbs of a fast-moving enemy] this use allows a reflex save for half damage, add or subtract 2 to the DC for each 10ft. Above 30 ft the creature is moving.
2) Alternately, it can be anchored onto a blunt weapon such as a quarterstaff, changing the damage type to slashing, and adding bonus damage of 1d2/caster level. [Normal attack rolls still apply: the airblade does not grant any form of competency in combat, it just makes your stick sharp -- nice against enemies with resistance to bludgeoning weapons.] (no reflex)
Focus: the two pieces of glass mentioned above
Channel Heat
evocation (Fire)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Casting Time: 2 rounds(one to take temperature another to dissipated)
Range 100 ft +10ft/level
Area: a 20' x 20' x 20' cube
Duration: 1 round/level
The caster raises or lowers the temperature in a 20' x 20' x 20' cube of air (or equivalent volume) by 10 degrees C . This builds up a "charge" in the caster's hands, which leaps to the next metal object she touches. If unused, the "charge" dissipates after 1 round/caster level, and the local air temperature returns to normal. If the ambient temperature is not especially hot or cold, the charge does 1d4 damage per caster level to any creature touching that object.
