Range:  self
Duration:  1 minute/level

This spell is as Body of Sand, except the user appears more pale after casting and their skin has a crystalized, snow-like appearance.

Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous

The caster contacts a powerful, ancient spirit of the land or a revered ancestral spirit (GM‘s discretion on who is available).  The caster can ask up to three questions and the spirit will respond with truthful, but potentially enigmatic or grand-scale, answers.  This spell is mentally exhausting and can only be cast once per week.

Range: 120 ft
Target: 1 creature
Duration: 1 turn/level

The caster places a minor curse on a creature.  The target must make a save versus magic or suffer a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for the duration. This curse does not stack with other penalizing effects.

Range: 60 ft
Area: 10 ft wide, 60 ft long
Duration: 1 turn/level

The caster can cause ice or compacted snow to form a stable, traversable path over gaps, thin ice, or dangerous terrain (e.g., a crevasse, a small river).  The path is sturdy enough to support a party of adventurers and their mounts.

Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous

The caster touches a creature and channels minor restorative energy from the land or spirits.  The target heals 1d4 hit points of damage.  This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous

The caster can attempt to restore life to a creature that has died no more than 24 hours ago.  This spell is incredibly taxing; the caster loses 1 point of constitution permanently after casting.  The revived creature returns with 1 HP and is weak (all stats halved for 1d4 days).  Only works on creatures with a soul (GM‘s discretion); cannot affect those who died of old age or whose bodies are completely destroyed.  Can only be cast once per month.

Range: Self (60 ft radius)
Duration: 2 turns

The caster can detect the presence, number, and general type of non-magical animals within range.  This does not reveal their exact location but gives a strong sense of their direction and quantity.

Range: Self (60 ft radius/level)
Duration: 1 turn

The caster becomes supernaturally aware of hidden things in the environment.  She can perceive invisible creatures (though not perfectly clearly), hidden doors, secret passages, and major illusions within range.  This does not automatically reveal magical traps, but might make their presence felt.

Range: 60 ft
Area: 20 ft square
Duration: 1d4 rounds

Causes the ground to sprout sharpened, stiff growths (ice, rock shards, thorny roots).  Creatures moving through the area take 1d4 damage per round of movement.  Those who fail a pave vs. paralysis are slowed to half movement for the duration.

Range: 30 ft
Area: 10 ft radius
Duration: 1 turn/level

Creates a protective ward that causes non-corporeal spirits (ghosts, spectres, wraiths, but not standard corporeal undead like zombies/skeletons) to become uneasy and reluctant to enter.  Spirits attempting to enter the area suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls while within it.

Range: 90 ft
Duration: 3 turns

The caster calls forth 1d4 normal animals (e.g., wolves, bears, large birds, depending on environment; up to 3 HD each).  They appear in 1 round and obey the caster’s simple commands.  They vanish when the duration expires or they are reduced to 0 HP.

Range: 1 mile
Duration: Instantaneous

The caster can send a short, audible message (up to 10 words) to any creature she has seen before.  The message travels instantly on the wind and is only heard by the intended recipient.
