Revised Druid Spell List
kirt writes "This article presents a list of all the spells I find suitable for druids, drawing on the four most fundamental sources in First and Second Edition: both Player’s Handbooks, Unearthed Arcana, and the Tome of Magic. The purpose is twofold: first, to synthesize First and Second Editions with a unified vision of druids. Second, to build a comprehensive spell list, so that a subsequent article can detail the different subsets of spells available to druids of various patron Powers (e.g., Obad-Hai, Beory, Ehlonna) or faiths (Flan, Tuov, Oerid)."

Magic Items of Ull: Part 2
mortellan writes "Loremasters of the arcane can tell much of a magic item’s history just by studying the age and design of it. However time to time an unearthed magical treasure will confound cursory examination and reveal a possible new layer to a region’s past. It is in the unlikely armpit of the world called Ull that a few such items have been rumored to exist."

Magic Items of Ull: Part 1
mortellan writes "Magic items have spread prodigiously throughout the Flanaess since the Migrations to the point where every culture and region has dozens of unique creations attributed to their name. The craft of magical items, once the province of Power Mages and High Priests, is now practiced in every major city and town by all levels from Archmagi to simple hedge wizards. No less abundant are the wondrous items coming out of the Baklunish West, including Ull a remote region not famed at all for arcane or divine creations. It is this misconception that has kept many of Ull’s exotic treasures long hid from adventuring eyes until now."

Postfest IV: Arcane Spells - Spider Strand
Cebrion writes "The spider strand spell was originally developed by an adventuring elven mage/ thief who was most often in the service of Veluna and Furyondy. The spell was crafted for use in "second story work", and for use in adventuring in the vaulted caverns of the Underdark. The spell is most useful in helping those who cannot climb very well to do so, or to speed up how quickly an adept climber can climb."

Magical Staves of Greyhawk
cwslyclgh writes "The magic staff is one of the most archtypical images associated with wizards and other mages, and as Greyhawk has wizards so too does it have a plethora of magical staves.

Magic of the Dwarves (Part 1): Spells of Steel and Stone
cwslyclgh writes "Since the advent of 3rd edition it has been possible to make dwarven sorcerers, wizards, and even bards. This brings up the whole sticky question of where these arcane magic using dwarves came from, as all previous editions barred dwarves from classes such as this. This article (and the followups that I plan) goes with the idea that dwarves have always had arcane magic users, but have kept them hidden until recently. As always I am looking for comments and critiques."

The Dark Art of Subjective Divination
MerricB writes "Mages have long debated the theories behind how magic works. The most problematic of these has been the arts of divination, which often invokes questions of free will versus premeditation.
