Class and Level Geekery VIII (spoilers ahoy!)

[zimmerwald1915]

Xykon's known spells, taken from the OP, arranged by level in the sorcerer/wizard list, including empty slots where he could have a spell known but none is listed:

Cantrips - Ray of Frost, Unknown x8
1st - Animate Dead Animal, Magic Missile, Unknown x3
2nd - Invisibility, Shatter, Unknown x3
3rd - Lightning Bolt, Unknown x3
4th - Animate Dead, Greater Invisibility, Resilient Sphere, Stoneskin
5th - Cloudkill, Overland Flight, Symbol of Pain, Teleport
6th - Contingency, Unknown x2
7th - Finger of Death, Greater Teleport, Mass Hold Person
8th - Ghostform, Symbol of Insanity, Unknown
9th - Energy Drain, Meteor Swarm, Soul Bind
Epic - Cloister, Epic Mage Armor, Superb Dispelling
Unknown Level - Xykon's Moderately Escapable Forcecage, unspecified fire spell, unspecified mind-affecting spell, unspecified spell that enables travel to the Astral Plane

Unless Xykon's taken the epic feat Spell Knowledge, which would give him two new spells known of any level, the spell he used on MitD should be level 8 or lower. Depending on where those spells of unknown level fall, it might be as low as level 3, though that's highly doubtful.

EDIT: not to muddy up the distinction between the two threads overmuch, but has anyone suggested that MitD's box might be the component to a Binding spell of the chaining variety? This is also highly doubtful, as MitD is just as likely to do what he's told than to be magically compelled to do something, but it is a level 8 enchantment...

RE-EDIT: ADA is now where it should be, and the list of spells of unknown level now includes the unspecified mind-affecting spell.
