Spells of Past Adventures

Hello there! Here's a quick post of some spells I recently wrote up based on my old (though perhaps returning?) Hill Cantons campaign. All are statted up for B/X (OSE) but could all be easily changed into other related systems. Please feel free to add one these spells into your game whenever the characters in happen upon some random scroll! 

In terms of inspiration, two were sparked by the magic-user Pearl the Reckless tendency towards melee combat and her Boots of the Aristocrat respectively. Cetus' Oceanic Call is as the name suggests based on the magic-user Cetus found in The Isle of the Plangent Mage. I really like the adventure, but it is a travesty that an adventure based around a wizard's tower does not offer players any new and unique spells! Ishmer's Sallow Serpents is something I came up with to round out the spell selection for any necromancer and/or serpent cultist adversaries. For me being most useful for our playthrough of the adventures Keep on the Borderlands and Against the Cult of the Reptile God.
