You create one 3-foot-diameter ball of concentrated electricity per two caster levels (maximum of 8 balls). Each ball sheds light as a candle.
When you create the balls of lightning, you mentally program them to move as you desire, even around corners. A ball can move up to 100 feet per round and flies with perfect maneuverability. Upon striking a creature, the ball stops and remains in place for the remainder of the spell’s duration. The ball dissipates if the distance between and it exceeds the spell’s range. Each ball can "see" as a human would under the ambient lighting conditions (counting the light that the ball itself sheds).
For example, you could program one lightning ball to follow the left wall of a corridor and strike the first creature it "sees," another to follow the right wall and do the same, and the remainder to follow 5 feet behind you in a semicircle. The first two lightning balls would turn corners to follow the walls, even if doing so took them out your line of sight, and each would strike the first creature it "saw," which would cancel its program and leave it in its target’s square. Programming the balls is a free action in the round the spell is cast and a move-equivalent action in any other round.
A creature struck by a lightning ball (or one that touches a ball with natural or melee weapons) takes 2d6 points of electricity damage (Reflex saving throw for half damage). Creatures that come into contact with multiple balls of lightning takes damage individually from each and receive a saving throw for each. A creature with spell resistance makes a separate spell resistance check against each lightning ball; success means the ball cannot harm the creature.
The caster imbues a small sack with a minor trap. Any person who sticks their hand into the sack without first speaking the command word triggers the spell. The victim must make a Will save or be shrunk to the height of one inch and be teleported into the sack. Non-living beings such as undead or constructs do not trigger the spell. As long as the sack and caster are on the same plane, the caster is alerted as soon as the spell is triggered.
A spellcaster can only have one active Bandersnatch at any given time.
The sack will not allow the victim out until it is opened by the spellcaster, who may choose to release the victim or not. The caught creature cannot use spells, weapons, or psionics to damage or leave the sack in any way, with the exception of plane shift or something similar. A dispel magic or a successful Escape Artist check (DC 30) allows a creature to escape. The creature then teleports right outside, beside the sack and returns to full size.
This spell, known as "The Blackest Curse" (among rogues) is usually cast upon an individual by an order of authority, as a result of their thievery or other misdeeds. When cast, the target is so cursed, that if at any one time in the future she consciously commits a crime, she will lose the appropriate body part. The offending part will simply vanish, as if disintegrated, and the remaining stump will be blackened as if burned by fire. The target will also have their maximum number of hit points reduced by one. The missing part (and point) can be regenerated, but by nothing less than a wish spell or divine intervention. A character may attempt to resist the spell, but since the spell makes no indication that it is working, the check should be made secretly by the Games Master so that the target is unsure if they resisted or not.
The crimes of which the target can be guilty of are determined by the spell's focus; a true charter of law. This can be anything from a scroll with the rules of a small hamlet, ancient religious writings, a stone tablet, or a grand tome with thousands of laws. It cannot, however, be a list of silly commands or laws written by the caster. So long as the target obeys these laws, no harm will befall them. Laws and punishments should be determined by Games Master and Player before gaming begins. EXAMPLES of offenses and punishments include:
Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.
You may also invent your own curse, but it should be no more powerful than those described above, and the DM has final say on the curse’s effect.
The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell.
Bestow curse counters remove curse.
SEXUAL USE: As per the Book of Erotic Fantasy.
This nasty spell can be used with negative connotations in mind. Some examples of sexual curses include:
Sexual thoughts and scenarios cause the character to become nauseated.
The target is unharmed, but his progeny carry one of the curses described in the Player’s Handbook
It should be noted that you can devise your own sexual curses but should not be more powerful than the curses listed for this spell. Sexual curses can play a major role in a character’s sexual behavior.

Bigby’s Clenched Fist
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 8, Strength 8
Components: Verbal, Somatic
If using Divine power, use your holy symbol or similar object as a Divine Focus
Arcane Focus: A leather glove
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5
This spell functions like Bigby’s interposing hand, except that the hand can interpose itself, push, or strike one opponent that you select. The floating hand can float as far as 60 feet and can attack in the same round. Since this hand is directed by you, its ability to notice or attack invisible creatures is no better than yours.
The hand attacks once per round, and its attack bonus equals your caster level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (for a wizard, cleric, or sorcerer respectively), +11 for the hand’s strength score (33), -1 for being Large. The hand deals 1d8+11 points of damage on each attack, and each creature struck must make a Fortitude save (against the spell’s save DC) or be stunned for 1 round. Directing the spell to a new target is a move action.
The clenched fist can also interpose itself as Bigby’s interposing hand does, or it can bull rush an opponent as Bigby’s forceful hand does but at a +15 bonus on the Strength check.
Clerics who cast this spell name it for their deities--Pelor’s clenched fist, for example.

The crushing hand can grapple an opponent like Bigby’s grasping hand does. Its grapple bonus equals your caster level + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (for a wizard, cleric, or sorcerer respectively), +12 for the hand’s strength score (35), +4 for being Large. The hand deals 2d6+12 points of damage (lethal, not nonlethal) on each successful grapple check against an opponent.
Directing the spell to a new target is a move action.
The crushing hand can also interpose itself as Bigby’s interposing hand does, or it can bull rush an opponent as Bigby’s forceful hand does but at a +18 bonus.
Clerics who cast this spell name it for their deities--St. Cuthbert’s crushing hand, for example.
Bigby’s Forceful Hand
Evocation [Force]

Arcane Focus: A sturdy glove made of leather or heavy cloth
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5
This spell functions like Bigby’s interposing hand, except that the hand pursues and pushes away the opponent that you designate. Treat this attack as a bull rush with a +14 bonus on the Strength check. (+8 for Strength=27, +4 for being Large, and a +2 bonus for charging, which it always gets). The hand always moves with the opponent to push that target back the full distance allowed, and it has no speed limit. Directing the spell to a new target is a move action.
A very strong creature could not push the hand out of its way because the latter would instantly reposition itself between the creature and you, but an opponent could push the hand up against you by successfully bull rushing it.
Bigby’s Grasping Hand
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 7, Strength 7, Tyranny 7

Its grapple bonus is the same figure, except with a +4 modifier for being Large instead of -1. The hand holds but does not harm it grapples. Directing the spell to a new target is a move action.
The grasping hand can also bull rush an opponent as Bigby’s forceful hand does but at a +16 bonus on the Strength check (+10 for Strength=35, +4 for being Large, and a +2 bonus for charging, which it always gets), or interpose itself as Bigby’s interposing hand does.

Bigby’s Interposing Hand
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Arcane Focus: A soft glove
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100ft. + 10ft./level)
Effect: 10-ft. hand
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5
This spell creates a Large magic hand that appears between you and one opponent. This floating disembodied hand then moves to remain between the two of you, regardless of where you move or how the opponent tries to get around it, providing cover (+4 AC) for you against the opponent. Nothing can fool the hand—it sticks with the selected opponent in spite of darkness, invisibility, polymorphing, or any other attempt at hiding or disguise. The hand does not pursue an opponent however.
A Bigby’s hand is 10 feet long and about that wide with its fingers outstretched. It has as many hit points as you do when you’re undamaged and its AC is 20 (-1 size, +11 natural). It takes damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that don’t cause damage do not affect it. The hand never provokes attacks of opportunity from opponents. It cannot push through a wall of force or enter an antimagic field, but it suffers the full effect of a prismatic wall or prismatic sphere. The hand makes saving throws as its caster. Disintegrate or a successful dispel magic destroys it.
Any creature weighting 2,000 pounds or less that tries to push past the hand is slowed to half its normal speed. The hand cannot reduce the speed of a creature weighing more than 2,000 pounds, but it still affects the creature’s attacks.
Bind Guardian I
Conjuration (Calling)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: Verbal, Somatic
XP cost: 100 XP
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Close
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
This spell is identical to summon monster I, using the same summoning charts and material components as those shown in Core Rulebook I. The casting time is 1 minute however, and the creatures summoned only appear for a single round instead of the spell's normal duration. During this time, the effects below occur. The summoned creatures are motionless and do nothing this round, disappearing without further effect if they are attacked or if the bind fails.
The summoned target of this spell must make an opposed Will saving throw against the caster or be bound to his service in much the same way as an animal companion. If the spell tries to bind multiple creatures, the all receive a single saving throw; if this fails all creatures are bound to the caster. A willing subject may voluntarily fail this save, but most are hostile to the idea of permanently serving the caster. The caster can only have twice his arcane level in Hit Dice worth of guardians at one time. If the spell affects multiple targets of one casting of this spell and if any are slain thereafter, the survivors must all be released before replacements may be bound. An additional limitation to this spell is while the caster has bound guardians, he cannot prepare or cast the summon monster spell used to summon them until they are released.
At the caster's option, can be assigned (at the time of binding) to another individual, but they still count towards the caster's total number of Hit Dice available and the decision cannot be changed later without releasing them first.
The experience cost of this spell is ony 100 XP, only half of that is paid if the targets are not successfully bound. Even though this is a calling spell, the magic circle used during its casting is automatically successful and the creature summoned cannot attempt to test it.

You are able to bind the subject to an oath it voluntarily swears. No kind of coercion or trickery will work in conjunction with this spell; the oath must be entirely voluntary or the spell will fail. Everything said by the creature after the words I swear to… is considered the oath. If this oath is later violated, the creature suffers under the effects of the bestow curse spell until it atones. Because of the voluntary nature of this spell, nothing can remove the curse short of an atonement or divine intervention.

Binding
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Components: The components for a binding spell vary according to the version of the spell, but they always include a continuous chanting utterance read from the scroll or spellbook page containing the spell, somatic gestures, and materials appropriate to the form of binding used. These components can include such items as miniature chains of special metals (silver for lycanthropes, cold iron for demons, and so forth), soporific herbs of the rarest sort (for slumber bindings), a bell jar of the finest crystal, and the like. In addition to the specially made props suited to the specific type of binding (cost 500 gp), the spell requires opals worth at least 500 gp for each HD of the target and a vellum depiction or carved statuette of the subject to be captured.
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Close (25ft. + 5ft./2 levels)
Target: One living creature
Duration: See text (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5, and the Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
A binding spell creates a magical restraint to hold a creature. The target gets an initial saving throw only if its Hit Dice equal at least one-half your caster level.
You may have as many as six assistants help you with the spell. For each assistant who casts suggestion, your caster level for this casting of binding increases by 1. For each assistant who casts dominate animal, dominate person, or dominate monster, your caster level for this casting of binding increases by a number equal to one-third of that assistant’s level, provided that the spell’s target is appropriate for a binding spell. Since the assistants’ spells are cast simply to improve your caster level for the purpose of the binding spell, saving throws and spell resistance against the assistants’ spells are irrelevant. Your caster level determines whether the target gets an initial Will saving throw and how long the binding lasts. All binding spells are dismissible.
Regardless of the version of binding you cast, you can specify triggering conditions that end the spell and release the creature whenever they occur. These triggers can be as simple or elaborate as you desire, but the condition must be reasonable and have a likelihood of coming to pass. The conditions can be based on a creature’s name, identity, or alignment but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities. Intangibles such as level, class, Hit Dice, or hit points don’t qualify. Once the spell is cast, its triggering conditions cannot be changed. Setting a release condition increases the save DC (assuming a saving throw is allowed) by 2.
If you are casting any of the first three versions of binding (those with limited durations), you may cast additional binding spells to prolong the effect, since the durations overlap. If you do so, the target gets a saving throw at the end of the first spell’s duration, even if your caster level was high enough to disallow an initial saving throw. If the creature succeeds on this save, all the binding spells it has received are broken.
The binding spell has six versions. Choose one of the following versions when you cast the spell.
Chaining: The subject is confined by restraints that generate an antipathy spell affecting all creatures who approach the subject, except you. The duration is one year per caster level. The subject of this form of binding is confined to the spot it occupied when it received the spell.
Slumber: This version causes the subject to become comatose for as long as one year per caster level. The subject does not need to eat or drink while slumbering, nor does it age. This form of binding is more difficult to cast than chaining, making it slightly easier to resist. Reduce the spell’s save DC by 1.
Bound Slumber: This combination of chaining and slumber lasts for as long as one month per caster level. Reduce the save DC by 2.
Hedged Prison: The subject is transported to or otherwise brought within a confined area from which it cannot wander by any means. The effect is permanent. Reduce the save DC by 3.
Metamorphosis: The subject assumes gaseous form, except for its head or face. It is held harmless in a jar or other container, which may be transparent if you so choose. The creature remains aware of its surroundings and can speak, but it cannot leave the container, attack, or use any of its powers or abilities. The binding is permanent. The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while metamorphosed, nor does it age. Reduce the save DC by 4.
Minimus Containment: The subject is shrunk to a height of 1 inch or even less and held within some gem, jar, or similar object. The binding is permanent. The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while contained, nor does it age. Reduce the save DC by 4.
You can’t dispel a binding spell with dispel magic or a similar effect, though an antimagic field or Mordenkainen’s disjunction affects it normally. A bound extraplanar creature cannot be sent back to its home plane due to dismissal, banishment, or a similar effect.
Binding Circle
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level)
Area: Circle with a radius of up to 5 ft./level
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
When this spell is cast, energy lances from your hands and traces a circle on the ground. Anyone touching the ground within the circle at the time of casting is trapped within it. They can take any normal sort of standard action, but they cannot leave the circle (even spells such as teleport fail). Those not touching the ground, those making their saving throw or those entering the circle later, are unaffected. If the caster enters the circle, the spell ends.
Binding Gem
Abjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Arcane Focus: a gem worth at least 100 gp
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Touch
Target: One gem
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
This spell imbues a gem with the power to absorb a spell, then release its energy. The gem becomes invisible and incorporeal and is tied to a specific creature, object, or 10 ft. cube of space, designated by the caster. If associated with a creature or object, the gem moves when the creature or object moves, always remaining within one foot.
The gem always stays dormant until someone casts a particular spell (specified at the time of casting) on the creature, object, or area. At this time the gem activates, absorbing the spell and becoming visible and tangible. An active gem no longer moves, even if it had been tied to a moving creature or object. If anything or anyone touches the gem after it becomes active, it explodes, dealing 2d6 points of damage for each level of the spell it absorbed to all within a 20 ft. spread (Reflex save for half damage).
Black Cloud of Horror
Evocation [Fear, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Clr 3
Components: Verbal, Somatic

Effect: Cloud that spreads 30 ft. and is 20 ft. high
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (see text)
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Divine Spellbook
This spell creates a stationary cloud of black mist that has two effects. First, it obscures sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures within 5 feet are treated as if they have one-half concealment (20% miss chance), while those farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). There is no saving throw against these effects, nor does spell resistance apply. In addition, any creature caught within the vapors is affected as if by a cause fear spell. The black cloud of horror manifests the fears of each creature in an attempt to drive them away. A will save is allowed to resist the fear; otherwise the creatures react as if influenced by cause fear. Spell resistance also applies against the fear effect.
A moderate wind, such as that created by gust of wind breaks up the cloud in four rounds. Stronger winds disperse the cloud in one round. Fiery spells, such as fireball or wall of fire burn away any portion of the cloud with which they come into contact.
The black cloud of horror cannot be used underwater.
Black Talon
Necromancy
Level: Initiate of Cyric 2
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: No; see text
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D’s Player's Guide to Faerûn
One of your arms transforms into a retractable, rubbery appendage ending in a taloned claw. You can attack with this claw as if your natural reach was 5 feet longer than it is. (Thus the spell provides a 10 foot natural reach for most Medium casters.) You can a +1 profane bonus on attack rolls with this spell and this bonus increases by 1 per four caster levels (to +2 at 5th, +3 at 9th level, and so forth). The talon deals 1d6 points of slashing damage +1 point of negative energy damage per caster level (maximum +10). A successful Will save reduces the negative energy damage by half.
You can also use the talon to make touch attacks, and the profane bonus on these attack rolls apply as well. A successful touch attack deals only the negative energy damage. As with similar effects, the negative energy damage from this spell heals undead creatures.

BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5, and the d20 Ultimate Divine Spellbook
Any nonevil creature within the area of a blasphemy spell suffers the following ill effects.
Equal to caster level ---- Dazed
Up to caster level –1 ---- Weakened, dazed
Up to caster level –5 ---- Paralyzed, weakened, dazed
Up to caster level –10 ---- Killed, paralyzed, weakened, dazed
The effects are cumulative and concurrent. No saving throw is allowed against these effects.
Dazed: The creature can take no actions for 1 round, though it defends itself normally.
Weakened: The creature’s Strength score decreases by 2d6 points for 2d4 rounds.
Paralyzed: The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes.
Killed: Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed.
Furthermore, if you are on your home plane when you cast this spell, nonevil extraplanar creatures within the area are instantly banished back to their home planes. Creatures so banished cannot return for at least 24 hours. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creatures hear the blasphemy. The banishment effect allows a Will save (at a –4 penalty) to negate.
Creatures whose Hit Dice exceed your caster level are unaffected by blasphemy.

Blast of Earth
Evocation [Earth]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Material Components: A small piece of fool’s gold
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area of Effect: Cone
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
This spell creates a blast of hurling earth in a come of short range. The cone inflicts 1d4+1 points of impact damage per level of the caster (maximum 10d4+10). Creatures of Large or smaller size struck by the cone who fail their reflex save are partially buried and must spend 1d2 rounds digging their way out.
While digging their way out, creatures are considered prone and immobile. Those victims who make a successful Reflex saving throw suffer half damage and are not buried. Huge and larger creatures cannot be buried by this spell but take damage as normal.
Blast of Elemental Fury
Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area of Effect: Cone
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
A blast of quintelemental energy shoots from the caster’s fingertips in a cone; inflicting 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 12d6). This energy affects creatures as the energy type to which they are most vulnerable, if applicable. Thus, this spell affects a creature with fire resistance 30 as if it were an energy type other than fire. Creatures with a vulnerability to an energy type, such as cold creatures suffering double dame from fire, suffer as if exposed to their vulnerability. Even if a creature has protection and a vulnerability to an energy type, this spell bypasses the protection and still affects the vulnerability. So if a wizard casts protection from elements [Fire] on a frost worm, blast of elemental fury would ignore the protection spell and inflict double damage on the frost worm.
Creatures with resistances or immunity to all elements have appropriate protection from the damage this spell inflicts. For example, a cleric carrying the effects of five different resist element spells (for all five energy types – acid, cold, electrical, fire, and sonic) subtracts 12 points of the damage he normally would suffer from the spell.
Blast of Force
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 3

Target: One creature
Duration: 2 rounds/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
BOOK REFERENCE(S): d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
This is a more powerful necromantic spell than wound, it too accelerating injuries to living tissue and making wounds more serious. With this spell, even a small pin prick can cause a subject to bleed to death, as the wound resist all attempts to halt the flow of blood.
A ranged touch attack must be made against the subject. If successful, the subject will lose one extra hit point every time it takes damage from any source every round, for the duration of the spell. This effect does not apply to subdual damage. Stopping this bleeding requires the application of any magical healing or a Heal check at DC 15. This spell has no effect on undead, constructs, animated objects, or outsiders.

Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5, and the d20 Ultimate Divine Spellbook
This transmutation makes a weapon strike true against evil foes. The weapon is treated as having a +1 enhancement bonus for the purpose of bypassing the damage reduction of evil creatures or striking evil incorporeal creatures (though the spell doesn’t grant an actual enhancement bonus). The weapon also becomes good, which means it can bypass the damage reduction of certain creatures. (This effect overrides and suppresses any other alignment the weapon might have.) Individual arrows or bolts can be transmuted, but affected projectile weapons (such as bows) don’t confer the benefit to the projectiles they shoot.
In addition, all critical hit rolls against evil foes are automatically successful, so every threat is a critical hit. This last effect does not apply to any weapon that already has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as a keen weapon or a vorpal sword.
Img stands for Imagist, a Class represented in the d20 Book of Erotic Fantasy.
GloryPr stands for the Glory Domain represented in D&D's Draconomicon which talks about the Dracolyte.

The next time that you copulate with a member of the opposite gender, results in a pregnancy, regardless of mundane birth control methods taken (certain spells, such as block the seed prevent this). A contagion spell terminates the pregnancy (without inflicting a disease upon the mother, however). In addition the child automatically gains the half-celestial template.

Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5, and the d20 Ultimate Arcane Spellbook
You "blink" back and forth between the Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane. You look as though you’re winking in and out of reality very quickly and at random.
Blinking has several effects, as follows.
Physical attacks against you have a 50% miss chance, and the Blind-Fight feat doesn’t help opponents, since you’re ethereal and not merely invisible. If the attack is capable of striking ethereal creatures, the miss chance is only 20% (for concealment).
If the attacker can see invisible creatures, the miss chance is also only 20%. (For an attacker who can both see and strike ethereal creatures, there is no miss chance.) Likewise, your own attacks have a 20% miss chance, since you sometimes go ethereal just as you are about to strike.
Any individually targeted spell has a 50% chance to fail against you while you’re blinking unless your attacker can target invisible, ethereal creatures. Your own spells have a 20% chance to activate just as you go ethereal, in which case they typically do not affect the Material Plane.
While blinking, you take only half damage from area attacks (but full damage from those that extend onto the Ethereal Plane). You strike as an invisible creature (with a +2 bonus on attack rolls), denying your target any Dexterity bonus to AC.
You take only half damage from falling, since you fall only while you are material.
While blinking, you can step through (but not see through) solid objects. For each 5 feet of solid material you walk through, there is a 50% chance that you become material. If this occurs, you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet so traveled. You can move at only three-quarters speed (because movement on the Ethereal Plane is at half speed, and you spend about half your time there and half your time material.)
Since you spend about half your time on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and even attack ethereal creatures. You interact with ethereal creatures roughly the same way you interact with material ones.
An ethereal creature is invisible, incorporeal, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down. As an incorporeal creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures.
An ethereal creature can see and hear the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and insubstantial. Sight and hearing on the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.
Force effects and abjurations affect you normally. Their effects extend onto the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, but not vice versa. An ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. Certain material creatures or objects have attacks or effects that work on the Ethereal Plane. Treat other ethereal creatures and objects as material.

Bleeding deals 1d4 points of damage per round, starting the round after the wound was scored. Each round after the bleeding starts the victim attempts another Fortitude save to stop the blood loss.

The target creature’s damage reduction improves, increasing the amount of damage ignored by 5 points. The type of weapon that overcomes the creature’s DR does not change. Thus if you cast this spell on a grick with a DR 15/+1, its damage reduction would become 20/+1. This spell has no effect on a creature that does not already have DR, and it does not improve damage reduction (such as a barbarian’s) that cannot be overcome. Multiple castings of this spell do not stack, nor does it stack with damage reduction from spells.

GloryPr stands for Glory Prestige. Both domains are both D&D sanctioned. One is from the Book of Exalted Deeds, the Glory Prestiege is explained on page 122 of the Draconomicon.

You cause a rain of rocks to fall from the sky, burying your opponents. You designate the spot on which the burst is centered. Each creature in the area that fails a Reflex saving throw takes 1d8 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d8), and is buried under rubble )see Avalanches page 90 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide). A successful save halves the damage and avoids burial. Buried subjects are subject to suffocation (see page 304 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide) until they climb out from under the rocks (a full round action).
Break Enchantment
Abjuration
Level: Brd 4, Clr 5, Hex 4, Img 5, Luck 5, Pal 4, Sor/Wiz 5, Spell 5

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Up to one creature per level, all within 30 ft. of each other
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No
BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Player's Handbook 3.5
This spell frees victims from enchantments, transmutations, and curses. Break enchantment can reverse even an instantaneous effect, such as flesh to stone. For each such effect, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level, maximum +15) against a DC of 11 + caster level of the effect. Success means that the creature is free of the spell, curse, or effect. For a cursed magic item, the DC is 25.
If the spell is one that cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, break enchantment works only if that spell is 5th level or lower. For instance, bestow curse cannot be dispelled by dispel magic but break enchantment can dispel it.
If the effect comes from some permanent magic item, such as a cursed sword, break enchantment does not remove the curse from the item, but it does frees the victim from the item’s effects. For example, a cursed item can change the alignment of its user. Break enchantment allows the victim to be rid of the item and negate the alignment change, but the item’s curse is still intact and affects the next creature to pick up the item—even if it’s the recent recipient of the break enchantment spell.

Sightless creatures are not affected by this spell. The modification only applies to the breath produced as part of casting.

BOOK REFERENCE(S): Dragon Magazine #304
You exhale a cone of putrid breath that can affect creatures with disease. If you are currently suffering from a disease, creatures within the cone that fail their saving throws are infected with the same disease. If you have a natural attack that causes disease (such as mummy rot or demon fever), subjects are infected with that disease.
Alternatively, if you have previously cast contagion and have not discharged that spell, subjects are infected with the disease you choose, as per contagion. (Normally, if you cast another spell when you are holding the charge on a previously-cast spell, the first spell dissipates. The contagionspell does dissipate when you cast breath of contagion, but its magic is transferred into your noxious breath.) If none of these conditions apply, the spell has no effect. If you are suffering from more than one disease, or if you are infected with one disease and can transmit another, creatures within the cone must attempt one saving throw for each possible disease.
Breath Weapon Admixture

BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Draconomicon
Choose what type of energy other than that normally associated with your breath weapon: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. You can modify your breath weapon to add an equal amount of the energy you choose. For example, a wyrm red dragon whose breath weapon normally deals 22d10 points of fire damage can use this spell to produce a cone dealing 22d10 points of fire damage plus 22d10 points of acid damage. Even opposed types of energy, such as fire and cold, can be combined using this spell. The modification applies only to the breath produced as part of the casting.
When you use this spell to produce acid, cold, electricity, or fire energy, it is a spell of that type. For example, breath weapon admixture is an acid spell when you cast it to add acid damage to your breath weapon.
Breath Weapon Substitution

Components: Somatic, Breath
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: Your breath weapon

BOOK REFERENCE(S): D&D's Draconomicon
Choose what type of energy other than that normally associated with your breath weapon: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. You can modify your breath weapon to use the selected energy type instead of its normal energy type. For example, a mature adult red dragon whose breath weapon normally deals 14d10 points of fire damage can use this spell to produce a cone dealing 14d10 points of acid damage instead. The modification applies only to the breath produced as part of the casting.
When you use this spell to produce acid, cold, electricity, or fire energy, it is a spell of that type. For example, breath weapon substitution is an acid spell when you cast it to change your breath weapon to deal acid damage.
