The Elemental Dimension of Magic: Spells of Glory is a short 7 page pdf product that presents a number of new spells from the Jeshatan, a race of creatures from the Elemental Dimension of Magic. Glory is one of the twelve great schools of magic of the Jeshatan. This product features Glory spells, and is the sixth product in the line of products detailing various spells from the Jeshatan schools of magic.

Spells of Glory comes as a single pdf file. There are no bookmarks or a table of contents, but that doesn't matter so much for a short pdf with only 4 pages of content. A basic front and back cover are included, although there is no interior art to speak of, apart from simple bordering. Editing and generally writing are poor, with numerous editing errors contained within the product. Short products should certainly aim to do better, and it was disappointing to see so little care had been taken with the product. Two spells even shared the same name. Mechanics of the numerous spells is very weak as well, with incomplete, incorrect, or generally just clumsy spells being written up that barely make it into the d20 framework for spells. Editing of the mechanics to bring it more in line with the core rules would be much appreciated for this product. Generally, a poor presentation that could've been done a lot better.

The pdf starts with a brief one paragraph introduction to the product and the Plane of Glory. It's enough to get one started, but it would've been nice to see something more written about it, perhaps just a one page overview of the Jeshatan and the Elemental Dimension of Magic. Following this, the product delivers the spells of Glory contained in the product. There are twelve spells in total in this product, including three epic spells which are grander and more powerful versions of other spells contained within the product. There is a spell for each level, mainly focused on the bard and sorcerer/wizard classes. The spells focus on the theme of Glory, meaning that these are the spells for heroes and the like.

The spells themselves are not the best, mainly because of the lack of care taken with mechanics, balance and editing in general. Getting the idea behind the spell is one thing, but reworking it to make it more playable is another. The spells cover a wide variety of different things, and at least that counts in this products favor. You have spells dealing blasts of Glory, others creating illusionary worlds of Glory, and others yet capturing a magnificent performance of a bard in a box for later use. The concepts of the spells are probably quite useful, but I would imagine that some reworking would be required for most of them. Almost all the spells also require some amount of beer as a material component, presumably something of a morale-boosting ingredient?

Overall this product is somewhat disappointing. There are some useful concepts, but execution is generally weak and makes it difficult to appreciate what had been done. For a short pdf, a lot more care could've been taken, the spells could've been written correctly, and more attention been given to getting them right from a mechanical point of view. Disappointing product.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: A few useful and interesting ideas, and the product sticks roughly to the Glory theme. It's always useful to see a few epic spells in any product.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Poor presentation, mechanics, editing and writing.
