A Web Enhancement for Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed

While spells in Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed are not specific to any one class, the following spells apply mainly to magisters. Other spellcasters who can cast complex spells and use a staff may find them useful as well.

You create a protective force field around a staff, adding +1 to its hardness plus an additional +1 for every two caster levels you have above 1st. Further, the staff gains temporary hit points equal to +3 per caster level.

You empower a staff, allowing you to cast touch range spells through it, as if it were a part of you. Thus, you can make a melee attack with your staff and also deliver a touch attack spell. The staff functions only in your hands. For example, you cannot cast this spell, cast a touch attack spell, and then hand the staff to someone else to use to make the attack.
All touch spells are handled normally. This spell does not modify the duration of other spells.

Diminished Effects: The duration becomes 1 round/level.

Heightened Effects: The duration becomes 1 round/level. However, any touch spell cast into the staff has two uses, each usable only once per round.

You devote magical power into a staff so that it serves as a focus for your spells. With your staff in hand, ranged touch attacks that you make while casting your spells gain a +2 attack bonus.

Diminished Effects: The attack bonus is +1.

Heightened Effects: The attack bonus is +3.
