Ugh, an incredible waste of my money. Game mechanics were not standardized, spells were poorly designed. I've wasted money buying it, I actually deleted the product.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Pretty much nothing<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Poor<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

An interesting collection of spells, I find myself torn but generally happy. Some (NOT the majority, but a notable minority) of the spells seem to bend some of the basic D20 principles of spell creation (a few are too strong, a few are too weak). Conversely, the spells are quite creative and just /feel/ fun, which more than makes up for this deficit.

I love the names of several of these spells: A Fool's Nose Turns Blue, Rust Your Blade To Nasty Scrumbles, and "You're Not Real! Get Back In Your Book!" as good examples. Most of the spells are meant for Wizards/Sorcerers, of course, but there is a good mix of spells for Bards, Rangers and Clerics as well. The mix of spells is also good for levels, with at least as many for the lower levels (0-3) as for the higher; in fact, I think there are a few more for the lower levels, but I have yet to actually count them.

So give it a try, but watch out for specific spells. Choose carefully from this product and you will have a lot to add to your game.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Fun new ideas for spells (and spell titles!). Several variations on spells to apply in new situations. Three pdf files in one (Portrait, Landscape, Printer Friendly).<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Several typos and some questionable application of spell principles -- you will have to weed through these spells carefully to decide which to use and which not to use in any given campaign.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

If you need some evil magic in your campaign (and who doesn't?) this is the perfect book for that. At first glance, you might think the price is steep for just another dark magic spell book, but it's 55 pages with 99 spells, so that makes it well worth the money.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Some of the spells are original and imaginative, and there are a lot of spells to choose from.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Well, some of the spells aren't original or imginative, but that's certainly to be expected with that many of them<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
