Level Seven Spells

Regeneration (Necromancy)
Level: 7
Sphere: Healing
Range: Touch
Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Target creature
Saving Throw: None

This powerful spell enables the priest to imbue one creature with the ability to regenerate. The affected creature will regain 3 hit points per second. The effect lasts for five rounds plus one round for each level of the caster, or until dispelled.

Comments: Spell duration extended a bit, and the casting time reduced to better fit the spell's role as a combat spell.

Shield of the Archons (Abjuration)
Level: 7
Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Duration: 4 hrs + 1/2 hr/2 levels (8 max)
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

This powerful abjuration spell causes spells cast against the priest to be absorbed and consumed, affecting a total of spell levels equal to half the level of the priest. Area effects that are not centered directly upon the priest, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as cloud kill and stinking cloud, are excluded from this protection. Any spell cast directly at the priest (including Dispel Magic) will be absorbed, as long as there are spell levels remaining. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the priest, the spell will be absorbed (while cancelling the shield).

Comments: The spell was given a lengthy duration so that, should you opt to use it, you need cast it only once after resting.
