a +10 on their next perform check. The bard can choose up to 4 basic instruments for this spell to replicate.
Note that a bard cannot choose "Oral" or "Vocal" with this, but the bard herself may

Sorceress's Rage
Evocation [Electricity]
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Medium
Area: 20ft Radius, see text
Duration: 2rounds/level or less; see text
Saving Throw: Reflex Half, Fort Half; See Text
Spell Resistance: No

Extending two fingers out, electricity forms at the tips and crackles. Gesturing like a hammer,
the electricity vanishes and a thunderous crash slams down on the target in the distance

Sorceress' Rage creates a lightning strike in any area of the spell. Targets at the center
take 2d6/level Electric damage (Max of 30d6), while all those in a 20ft area around the strike
take 1d6/level sonic damage (Max of 15d6) and must roll Fortitude to see if they are blinded
and deafened for 3 rounds. The target in the center of the spell is automatically blinded and
deafened for 5 rounds if they fail their reflex save.

When cast, you may choose to not evoke Sorceress' Rage instantly, and 'hold' the charge. This
functions just as if you were holding a Touch spell, except it may only be held for the noted
duration. This is dangerous to do, however, as the caster risks being caught in the center
of the spell if they touch something accidentally.

Magnetism
Level: Sor/Wiz 3

This spell is identical to the "Magnetism" spell listed in Complete Arcane, with the exceptions noted above.

NEW FEATS:
Magnetic Attraction [General]

	      able to cast 3rd level arcane spell "Magnetism"
Benefit: By spending 8 hours with your chosen weapon, you may attune yourself to it so that you may
	 never be without it. As a standard action, you may call your weapon to your hand from a
	 distance of up to 500ft. Line of sight is not needed, and the spell can cause the weapon
	 to break through barriers as if it had a strength score of 30, but the weapon must otherwise
	 have an open path to you.

good joke shared among all three of them. Also known to chat with Ellistree from time to time, Eyne has
assisted Ellistree's followers from time to time, originally a gesture to his friend Velvolath Jalelg'cahl, it has
turned into a fast friendship with her.

Background: Using the soul of a young boy, Faust, Nicoba brought the ancient vile god Atem into existance again. Eventually
manifesting part of the negative plane itself on the material as his castle, Nicoba crafted a complex organism to
attempt to control Vile God Faust - eventually fusing with it himself to become a demigod. Commanding a monstorous
army of undead, he sought to turn all planes into undead wastelands, from which he would control. Fatally stabbed
by Eyne, whom inhereted the divine power from Atem and Nicoba.

Lucas Novelle: Human Kensai. Was the Grand Marshal in cleaning up the Plague that came into being after
The Faust War. Without Lucas, the plague would have consumed the planes
STATUS: Deceased. Died due to exhaustion at the age of 82.

Sundering: The Faust War caused the spread of the goddess Ellistre among the drow. Many saw it as a chance
to gain acceptance of the surface-dwellers, and thus Ellistre saw a great influx of worshippers.
Over time, Lolth-Worshippers began to drop - to dangerously low levels. Fearing a reprisal by their goddess,
Lolth-Worshippers attempted to kidnap Saejune, the daughter of Velvolath Jalelg'cahl, consort to Ellistre and Faust War Hero.
While they succeeded, Velvolath Jalelg'cahl discovered the treachery, and went on a divine rampage, cutting down all
lolth-drow in his sight, even after Saejune was safe. In the end, direct divine intervetion stopped him.
Ellistre put him to sleep, and Olidamarra and Eyne successfuly argued against permanatly erasing Velvolath Jalelg'cahl
for his actions, instead having him slumber for a few hundred years.
Note: Called "The Slaughter" by Lolth-Drow
EFFECT: Lolth-Worshipping drow is 2% of what it normally is, and are heavily villifed, even for Drow.
Open discrimination against Lolth-Drow is commonplace.
Anti-Drow Weaponry & Armor (Items that affect a creature with Light Blindness) are avaiable in nearly every shop

The Dead Zone - 1m Radius of Land. Former site of Nicoba's Keep. No grass grows, no animals are there. Entering the Dead Zone
causes those in it, reguardless of protections, to feel unsettled - as if thousands of eyes are suddenly staring at the person,
from every direction, each stare filled with a desire to rip the person to shreds.
