Explanation/Description: The casting of a death fog spell creates an area of solid fog which has the additional property of being highly acidic. The vapors are deadly to living things, so that vegetation exposed to them will die - grass and similar small plants in 2 rounds, bushes and shrubs in 4, small trees in 8, and large trees in 16 rounds. Animal life not immune to acid will suffer damage according to the length of time it is exposed to the vapors of a death fog:
1st round: 1 point
2nd round: 2 points
3rd round: 4 points
4th & each succeeding round: 8 points
The characteristics of a death fog are otherwise the same as a solid fog. The material components are a pinch of dried and powdered peas, powdered animal hoof, and strong acid of any sort (including highly distilled vinegar or acid crystals).

Area of Effect: Special
Explanation/Description: When a mislead spell is cast by the illusionist, he or she actually creates a phantasmal double at the same time that he or she is cloaked by improved invisibility magic. The illusionist is then free to go elsewhere while his or her phantasm seemingly moves away. The spell allows the phantasm of the illusionist to speak and gesture as if it were real, and there are full olfactory and touch components as well. A detect illusion, true seeing or true sight spell, or a gem of seeing, will reveal the illusion for what it is, and a detect in visibility true sight, or true seeing spell, or a gem of seeing or robe of eyes, can detect the invisible illusionist (cf. shadow door).

Area of Effect: 4 square " + 1 square "per level of caster
Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the illusionist prepares a special form of spectral farces spell which is triggered by some special action. The phantasmagoria typically includes a full visual, audial, olfactory, and touch illusion which involves falling, sliding, or moving rapidly The effect can be aimed at making the subjects believe that they are so doing or that something else is doing so. For example, the phantasmagoria may be triggered when falling into a pit, reaching the center of an area, opening a door, or performing some like action. The subject(s) will then believe that the fall continues for scores of feet; that a pit has opened and that they are helplessly sliding down into an unknown area; that a wall of water is rushing down from the area beyond the just-opened door, or whatever. Note that unlike the programmed illusion spell, the phantasmagoria spell must always involve the illusion of something falling or rushing, or a dwindling perspective.

Area of Effect: 1 "per level radius
Explanation/Description: The dweomer of this spell is similar to that of the vacancy spell, only it is more powerful and elaborate. Mirage arcane is also similar to the mirage cantrip. The spell enables the caster to make an area appear to be something other than it is. The illusionist is able to make it appear as whatever he or she envisions. The spell will remain as long as the caster maintains a faint concentration upon it, and even after this is no longer held the spell will persist for a total of S turns plus 1 additional turn for each experience level of the caster (Note: Faint concentration can be maintained during normal conversation but not while spell casting, in melee, or if harmed by an attack.) In all cases the mirage arcane must be of some place the illusionist has actually seen personally. If he or she actually has a small bit of anything connected with the place envisioned to create this spell, then it takes on a form of reality. In its basic form, where casting time is but 3 segments, forceful contact and tactile discovery are necessary to have any hope of discovering the magic, short of a detection device or spell. In its more complex form, where a material component is used, and 6 segments of casting time are expended, detection is possible only by some magical means, whether device, item, or spell. Either form of mirage arcane is subject to dispel illusion or dispel magic. As with all powerful illusions, the mind of the beholder will cause appropriate effects upon the viewer's body. Conversely, belief cannot usually affect the laws of nature and magic. However, under the influence of this spell, the viewer could possibly walk across a bed of hot coals thinking it was a shallow stream of water which was cooling his feet (and taking no damage), dine upon imaginary food and actually be nutritionally satisfied, or rest comfortably upon a bed of sharp stones, thinking it to be a featherbed. Gravity, for instance, is not affected by the dweomer, so that an envisioned bridge spanning a deep chasm will not support the believer. Those who may be there to witness the event will see it as a sudden disappearance of the individual. They will in no way connect it with an illusion unless they are otherwise aware of some magic at work.

Saving Throw : Special or neg
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Explanation/Description: Like the lapse spell, above, this spell can be cast upon a trigger object, which then delivers the spell's potential to the first creature that touches it. Saving throws for the seizure follow the same pattern as for a lapse: repeated saving throws until a failure occurs. In case of a seizure, a saving throw is rolled at the start of every round of melee combat in which the victim is involved. Note that the mental attack adjustment for superior or inferior wisdom affects this saving throw.
The recipient of this spell does not know that it has a seizure lying in wait, although a detect charm would notice the spell's aura on the recipient. However, the illusionist can also cast this spell in an immediate form by touching the recipient, in which case there is no material component. The recipient then gets one saving throw vs. the spell, and either has an immediate seizure (failed saving throw) or the spell is wasted (successful saving throw).
The effects of a seizure upon the recipient cause him to collapse in fits, thrashing wildly about while making choking noises and strangled cries. The body quivers and contorts. This lasts for 2-5 rounds, ending in one round of the victim being stiff in a state of rigor, followed by 2-5 rounds of unconsciousness. The victim is virtually helpless for 3-18 rounds after regaining consciousness, and is unable to fight or engage in spell-casting or strenuous activity. Thereafter, the victim is able to react normally, though with a -2 on saving throws, attacks, and defense for 5-20 rounds more (with a 10% chance of spell failure when casting any spell during that time).
While thrashing about, the victim takes 1-4 hp of damage per round unless restrained. The victim strikes aimlessly at his restrainers with all limbs, inflicting no damage except to those with AC 9 or AC 10 (50% chance of 1 hp damage per round). In the one round of rigor, the victim must save vs. death magic at + 2 or choke, dying 1-3 rounds later, unless someone is nearby who can prevent the choking with simple aid. The final result of a seizure is a temporary loss of 1-4 points of strength and constitution, which are recovered at a rate of 1 point each per day (no system shock roll is required).
