Ghost Hunt (Pr 3; Summoning)
Sphere: Summoning
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
This nefarious spell summons a trio of spirits of beings who were slain in the defense of Nature! The spirits are a special form of nature spirits, that are totally unnaffected by non-natural substances and effects; thus, the ghost hunt spirits could attack a human in chain mail as if he were not wearing any armor at all, while being unnaffected by any nonelven and nonpriestly magics. Elven and godly granted magics still work on the spirits, as the elves are part of the weave itself, while gods can naturally work magic, cause of their divine nature. Otherwise, the ghost hunt spirits are as follows:
Ghost Hunt Spirit: AC 8 (phantom leather armor); MV Fl 15 (B); HD 2; hp 12; THAC0 18; AT# 1; Dmg 1d8 (phantom scimitar); SA can strike creatures only hit by magical weapons, unaffected by unnatural substances (see above); SD immune to normal weapons, sleep, charm, hold, poison, paralysis, cold, death magic, and all other spells/effects that are not elven or divine in nature; SZ M (each 5-6' tall); ML 16; INT high (12); AL N; XP 650.
Notes: This spell can also be dangerous if cast on a being who has since his "death", regained life through spells such as resurrection, reincarnate, and similar spells. If this somehow occurs, the spirit is still summoned, but the creature is also allowed to make a saving throw vs. death to remain conscious. If the save fails, he is rendered unconscious and in temperal stasis until his spirit returns, however, if the save is passed he may act normally and effectively be in two places at once, although he and his spirit-self both suffer a -2 penalty to all actions performed at this time.)
Restricted to the priesthood of Khalreshaar; very rare.
