Ghost Sound Wizard Cantrip
With a wink, you create an illusory sound that emanates from
somewhere close by.
At-Will ✦ Arcane, Illusion
Standard Action Ranged 10
Target: One object or unoccupied square
Effect: You cause a sound as quiet as a whisper or as loud as
a yelling or fighting creature to emanate from the target.
You can produce nonvocal sounds such as the ringing of a
sword blow, jingling armor, or scraping stone. If you whisper,
you can whisper quietly enough that only creatures
adjacent to the target can hear your words.

fills the target’s square and all squares within 4 squares of
it. The light lasts for 5 minutes. Putting out the light is a
free action.

you create a new light, your previously cast light winks out.

You gesture toward an object nearby, and a spectral floating hand
lifts the object into the air and moves it where you wish.
At-Will ✦ Arcane, Conjuration
Minor Action Ranged 5
Effect: You conjure a spectral, floating hand in an unoccupied
square within range. The hand picks up, moves,
or manipulates an adjacent object weighing 20 pounds
or less and carries it up to 5 squares. If you are holding
the object when you use this power, the hand can move
the object into a pack, a pouch, a sheath, or a similar container
and simultaneously move any one object carried or
worn anywhere on your body into your hand.
As a move action, you can move the hand up to 5
squares. As a free action, you can cause the hand to drop
an object it is holding, and as a minor action, you can
cause the hand to pick up or manipulate a different object.
Sustain Minor: You can sustain the hand indefinitely.
Special: You can create only one hand at a time.
----------------------------

that exists until the end of your next turn.
✦ Make a small, handheld item invisible until the end of
your next turn.
Nothing you create with this cantrip can deal damage,

actions. This cantrip cannot duplicate the effect of any
other power.
Special: You can have as many as three prestidigitation
effects active at one time.

Disguise Self Wizard Utility 6
With a snap of your fingers, you suddenly look like someone else.
Daily ✦ Arcane, Illusion
Minor Action Personal
Effect: You make yourself, your clothing, and your equipment
look different. You can take on the appearance of
any creature of similar build and size, including a specific
individual whom you’ve seen. You gain neither the abilities
or mannerisms of the chosen form, nor the tactile or
audible properties of your form or gear. For example, if you
took on the illusion of a dwarf fighter in plate armor, anyone
touching you would realize you weren’t wearing plate
armor, and you would not clank, creak, or jingle as you
walked. The illusion lasts for 1 hour, although you can end
it as a minor action. You must keep the same appearance
for the entire duration.
Anyone who attempts to see through your ruse makes
an Insight check opposed by your Bluff check, and you
gain a +5 power bonus to your check.

Comprehend Language
As you finish the ritual, the guttural language of the creatures
before you clarifies into something you understand.
Level: 1
Category: Exploration
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: 24 hours
Component Cost: 10 gp
Market Price: 50 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
When beginning the ritual, choose a language you have
heard or a piece of writing you have seen within the past
24 hours.
Using this ritual on a language you have heard allows
you to understand it when spoken for the next 24 hours
and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to speak
the language fluently for the duration.
Using this ritual on a language you have seen as a piece
of writing allows you to read the language for the next 24
hours and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to
write the language in its native script or in any other script
you know for the duration.
Using this ritual on a language you have both heard and
seen as a piece of writing within the past 24 hours allows
you to understand it in both forms for the next 24 hours,
and an Arcana check result of 35 or higher allows you to
speak and write the language.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Silence
Straining both your patience and your keen ears, you hear
nothing in the duke’s private chamber. That’s why you’re so
surprised to see the duke when you boldly enter.
Level: 1
Category: Warding
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: 24 hours
Component Cost: 30 gp
Market Price: 75 gp
Key Skill: Arcana (no check)
You ward a single room (or a burst 4 area), against eavesdropping.
Creatures attempting to listen to something in
the warded area from outside the area take a –10 penalty
to their Perception checks.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Arcane Lock
You bind a door so that intruders can’t easily pass. The door
is limned with amber light, which fades to a soft glow, marking
it as impassible to anyone other than you and your allies.
Level: 4
Category: Warding
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: Permanent
Component Cost: 25 gp
Market Price: 150 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
You lock a door, a window, a gate, a portcullis, or some other
means of ingress. You can open the door normally, but those
who don’t have your permission to use it find it locked.
Your Arcana check, with a +5 bonus, sets the DC for
Thievery checks or Strength checks made to open the
door.
When you perform the ritual, you can allow for certain
other creatures or types of creatures to pass through the
door normally, ignoring the ward’s effect. You can choose
any or all (or none) of the following options:
Password: You can set a verbal password. If uttered
within 5 squares of the portal, the speaker can ignore the
ward for the next minute.
Individuals: You can designate up to ten other specific
individuals who can ignore the ward at all times.
Descriptions: You can describe one or more categories
of creatures who can ignore the ward at all times, using
specific, observable characteristics such as species, type,
size, or equipment carried or worn.
The Arcane Lock remains until you dismiss it, the door
is destroyed, or until the ward is defeated, such as by the
Knock ritual or a successful Strength or Thievery check.
Wherever you are, you instantly know if your Arcane Lock
is defeated by one of these methods.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Knock
A blue, glowing key appears in front of the door and disappears
into it. The door glows amber for a moment and then
unlocks.
Level: 4
Category: Exploration
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: Instantaneous
Component Cost: 35 gp,
plus 1 healing surge
Market Price: 175 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
The Knock ritual allows you to open a single locked door,
chest, gate, or other object. It even works against portals
sealed with the Arcane Lock ritual or doors secured with
bolts or bars that are on the far side, out of reach. You
must defeat all the closures on a locked object to unlock
it. You make one Arcana check per lock, bar, Arcane Lock,
or similar closure. The object you unlock does not open
automatically; you still must open it yourself after the ritual
unlocks it.
Make an Arcana check with a +5 bonus in place of
a Thievery check to open each lock or closure. (See the
Thievery skill description, page 189, for example DCs.) To
undo bolts or bars you normally couldn’t reach, you must
succeed on a DC 20 Arcana check.
If you use this ritual successfully against a portal protected
by Arcane Lock, you destroy the Arcane Lock and
its effects end.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Secret Page
You laugh through your broken teeth. The duke’s impersonator
might have found your journal, but he’ll never see what
you wrote there.
Level: 1
Category: Warding
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: Permanent
Component Cost: 10 gp
Market Price: 50 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
You ward writings so others cannot read them. Use of
this ritual protects one page (maximum 250 words). You
make the page appear not to exist, causing anyone other
than you to ignore it; the page’s presence is blocked from a
reader’s mind. You can choose instead to obscure the page
with false writings, which you produce before performing
the ritual. Other readers see the false text rather than the
real text.
When you perform the ritual, make an Arcana check,
with a +5 bonus. The result is the DC for a Perception
check to notice the concealed writing (readers use passive
Perception unless they are specifically looking for concealed
text).

---------------------------------------------------------------

Brew Potion
Liquids brew and bubble, coalescing the raw substance of
magic into a form you can drink.
Level: 5

consumed

The item ignites in a brief flash of brilliant light, then crumbles
to golden dust in your hands.
Level: 6
Category: Creation
Time: 1 hour
Duration: Instantaneous
Component Cost: 25 gp
Market Price: 360 gp
Key Skill: Arcana (no check)
When you finish performing this ritual, you touch a magic
