I dunno. I can think of some uses for some of them. Blind Self could help a thief impersonate a blind person to get in someone's confidence. I wouldn't call it a totally useless spell (unless it's permanent maybe.) Either that or you are about to go to a plane of reality that could cause madness/insanity by seeing it. You could blind yourself, go there, unblind yourself when you get back. It has possibilities. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And the "invisibility on inanimate objects" could be used to hide things like traps. And the "resurrect self" would be great in a contingency.

Iron Greasel, you have to be ALIVE to cast it. I think that death most certainly interrupts your spells

Nice list, Arvon...I'm gonna show them to my GM tonight!
