Looking for Non-SRD spells

[archon_huskie]

In my campaign setting, the PCs find the abandoned sanctum of a long dead dwarven wizard. After clearing out the monsters (The results of his experiements gone horriblly wrong) and a few bandits using the ruins of a base, the players will find his spellbook.

I'd like for this spellbook to be a macguff for the players to have access to spells outside of the core/SDR spell lists. It is also written in a combination of Dwarven and Draconic, imagine finding a book written half in Hebrew and half in Coptic. Draconic is rare as wizards are rare, though a few of the PCs are apprenticed to a wizard. Dwarfs also died out and are the Precursor Race of the world. So it will take the PCs some time to translate and understand the spells.

So what sort of long lost spells can I fill this tome with?
The wizard specialized in necromany and transmutation spells but was not a specialist in any school. Also was a low level cleric of a Chaotic Neutral Goddess of Chance, luck, magic and fortune.

What spell levels are you looking for? Also do you want top of the line spells (Orb of X, Shivering Touch, Celerity) or interesting dwarfy spells (look in Races of Stone)?

Also I'm assuming you mean non-SRD spells, otherwise I don't actually know what SDR means.

I like Mongoose's Encyclopedia Arcane for this kind of thing. (Third-party splatbooks, each dealing with a specific sort of magic. There's one on Necromancy, one on construct-making, one on enchanment, etc.)

@Zaydos - I had not even tought of narrowing it by spell level. The Dwarves lived during a time when Magic was abundant in the world so this dwarf wizard would have had spells at every level while the highest level and still living NPC wizard would not be able to cast them.

The idea is that the characters have found this exotic spellbook filled with uncommon spells, spells that even the best researched NPC wizard and sorcerers won't have. Races of stone would be interesting.

@Gnoman - that sound like a good start, is there a website with these spells or in the encyclopedia a book unto itself.

The Grand OGL Wiki has managed to put a large number of third-party d20 sourcebooks (or at least their OGL parts) online. They actually started off with permission from Mongoose to release the entirety of the Mongoose publishings on the site (although they had to pull and reformat the content themselves, but it was a good deed on Mongoose's part). Since then, a pretty good number of other publishers have provided at least benedictions if not full release and source PDFs. Hit the "OGC by Book" link and start perusing.

I was not aware of that site. It will come in handy.

I know the question is pretty much answered, but the Encyclopedia Arcane series is a number of different books, each focussing on one type of magic.
