Universal
Level Sorcerer/Wizard 0
Components V, S, M
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range 0 ft.
Area See text
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw None
Spell Resistance No
DESCRIPTION
This spell causes one of the caster's fingers to appear to flicker with a blue-white flame (no actual heat or flame is produced). At will, the caster can cause patterns traced in the air or on a surface by the finger to glow, remaining in place for the spell duration either (chosen during casting) moving with breezes or the movement of an object its traced upon, or remaining stationary despite changing conditions around it.
These glowing patterns can't be active magical runes, sigils, symbols, or glyphs, but they can have the appearance of genuine magic, either as instructions to another spellcaster (to cast or use a particular spell, perhaps, or to draw a symbol exactly like this one), or as a ruse to fool intruders. This spell is often used to draw directing arrows or spell out clear (or misleading) inscriptions. Its magic enables the caster to cause the lines made by certain finger movements to glow and other traceries not to, so clear and concise symbols can be created, not an endless squiggly line that "builds up" into one symbol after another.
Material Component: A pinch of powdered glowworm, a live firefly, or a bit of phosphorescent fungus.

THUNDAERL'S UNIVERSAL TASTER
Divination/Illusion (Figment)
Level Bard 2, Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components V, S, M
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range 30 ft.
Area See text
Duration 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw None or Will disbelief (if interacted with); see text
Spell Resistance No
DESCRIPTION
This spell allows the caster (only) to look at foods and see any substance harmful to the caster outlined in luminous purple flames (in the quantities present). The magic penetrates darkness, sauces, and such solid objects such as container lids and layers of meat. If a harmful substance is present, the caster can will the food to emit illusory, hissing black serpents visible to all. This can alert the provider of the food to the caster's awareness of the threat—or give the caster an excuse for destroying the tainted material along with the dangerous snakes!
Material Components: A berry from any poisonous plant (e.g., deadly nightshade) and a piece of snakeskin.
