Spells
School: illusion (phantasm) [mind-affecting]; Level: bard 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1
CASTING
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of powdered silver)
EFFECT
Range: Touch
Target: one written message of up to one page/level
Duration: permanent until dispelled or password is spoken
Saving Throw: none; Spell Resistance: No
DESCRIPTION
With a touch and whispered words, you mask a message within the illusions of mundane text. To those unaware, the enchanted document appears as harmless and unremarkable writing. However, when a reader channels a hint of magic into the text while uttering the secret incantation, the true message materializes.
The caster determines the password during the spell's casting. Without the correct password, even magic such as detect magic or read magic cannot decipher the Aetherwrite's secrets or detect it's presence.
*Dispelling Aetherwrite will destroy the hidden contents.
The potency of Aetherwrite's encryption has earned it trust among secretive factions. Additionally, the necessity for ever-changing passwords adds a procedural layer to its security, making it nearly impregnable.

*You cannot establish more than one Firebound bond with a given target, but you can be bound to more than one target (by casting this spell multiple times) -- the damage taken from all such bonds stack. Each bond requires its own move action to maintain.

School Conjuration [Healing]; Level cleric/oracle 4, shaman 4, druid 5, witch 5, warpriest 5
CASTING
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S, DF
EFFECT
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
DESCRIPTION
This spell cures 3d4+12 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +15).
Unlike other spells that heal damage, spark of life can bring recently slain creatures back to life with diminishing chances based on the time elapsed:
Within 1 round of death: 90% chance of success.
2 rounds after death: 75% chance.
3 rounds after death: 50% chance.
4 rounds after death: 25% chance.
Roll a percentage die after casting. If the result is within the success threshold for the time elapsed, apply the healing from this spell to the creature. If the healed creature’s hit point total is at a negative amount less than its Constitution score, it comes back to life and stabilizes at its new hit point total. If the creature’s hit point total is at a negative amount equal to or greater than its Constitution score, or if the percentage roll fails, the creature remains dead.
Both the caster and the revived creature gain one permanent negative level upon successfully reviving a creature.
On a failed attempt the caster does not gain a negative level.
This spell can be attempted multiple times, if it is cast more than once per round each attempt forwards the round count for the percentage chance of failure.
*Creatures slain by death effects cannot be saved by spark of life.
