Default RE: RP Scouting comments

It came up once on a quest i was on with L, where I wanted to use a message spell (which is a fairly low level spell in PnP) so I asked if such magic was available in layo (just to RP it.)

The response was that if it was, I would not know it being a level 5 wizard.

Magic is different in layo than in FR or Greyhawk. For example the spell "Fly" would be the prized achievement of an epic wizard on layo, independantly researched and such (like an Epic spell) rather than a standard 3rd level spell. (think its 3rd...)

Anyway, it would be cool if someone in the know (probably L) could state a few purely RP spells and their level requirements.

Kindof like the teleport tomes, but with no acctual functionality (mechanics wise.)

These would be used in the context of DMed quests, or just to give some basis for random non DMed rp.

Ex:

Detect Magic - 1st level cleric, wizard, Druid, Sorcerer. Shows number of magical auras within 30 feet and allows a DC 15 spellcraft check to determine the school and relative strength of the aura.

Silent Message - 12th level Wizard, Cleric. Use is self explanatory. Cannot send a message to someone you have never seen (in person or through scrying or seeing an image) and you must know the persons location within 1 mile/level.

Dont really want to get into scrying and counter scrying here... trying to keep it simple.

Oh, and I think a Create Water cantrip could be added to Druids and Clerics that creates a canteen of water in your inventory. Could be cool RP for long quests away from civilization and fresh water *looks at the descriptions of some of the upcoming plot quests* ... *cough cough*

Yeah yeah I know, should have thought of that idea before orth left... hehe

*looks for orth soaring above the trees*
