Emily de Saunders was a young sorceress, who made her fame with a few adventures around the Western Heartlands, particularly around the area of Beregost. She was born to a rich Thayan merchant, and was, in all respects, a spoiled princess, always so prim and proper.
Her adventures began when she was abducted by some bandits straight from her bedroom in the family castle in Eltabbar and taken to the Heartlands. Once a spoiled, oversheltered brat, she was forced to live with the common folk, and the not so common but just as rugged adventurers that inhabited Beregost and it's surrounding regions, all the while trying to find out who had abducted her, and why.
One thing she never lost, however, was her love of fashion and dresses. What irked her the most, of all things, was how her dresses always ended up dirty and ruined, given her frequent clashes with acid spitting slaadi or equally corrosive jellies. She countered it by just carrying a wide supplement of spare dresses with herself, which worked for the most part.
One day, however, she went to visit the famous Durlag's Tower with a few friends, and met up with a contingent of half fiends. They had little trouble handling the mean brutes, but her favorite dress - which she daftly was wearing at the time - was ruined beyond repair by the half-fiends' splashes of blood. You have NO idea how hard it is to get that stuff out of silk!
While moping about, holding her ruined dress, one of her friends made a remark about how she should use her magic to clean it up. That made a lot more sense to her then he imagined, and a few months later, she came up with the following incantations:
Emily's Cleansing Tools
Theme: Laundry
Emily's Cleansing Soap
Transmutation
Level: Bard 0, Sorc/Wiz 0
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: One bar of soap
Duration: 1 Turn (D)
Saving Throw: No (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No
Focus: A bar of soap (scented or not)
Description: The touched bar of soap becomes animated. It may be verbally commanded to perform any cleaning tasks, including laundry or personal hygene.
Effect: Upon casting the spell, the caster must roll a spellcraft check. The check determines the cleaning power of the soap:
On a roll of 4 or less, the soap acts like a normal bar of soap, only animated. It will only produce a superficial cleaning of greasy substances that wash away with water.
If the roll is higher than 5, the bar of soap will be imbued with magical cleaning power, enabling it to clean dirt, mud and similar unsightly substances. The cleansing is still superficial, however, and it will not remove deep stains on certain fabrics, like cotton and wool (the stains will fade slightly, but will still be noticeable. repeat uses of bar of soap will not remove this deep part of the stain unless the roll is greater than 15, as described below).
If the roll is higher than 15, the bar of soap will recieve increased cleaning abilities, including deep and thorough cleansing of deep stains of greasy substances, mud and dirt, whichever the fabric. It will also remove tough stains, like chocolate and humanoid or animal blood. It will not remove blood from planar or demi-planar creatures, such as fiends, celestials, half-fiends and half-celestials, and neither will it work acidic oozes and slimes like that from Gelatinous Cubes or Jellies.
If the roll is higher than 30, the bar of soap is granted near-divine cleaning powers, being able to remove any and all stain, including planar blood and acidic ooze. It also becomes able to polish any metallic substance it is commanded to clean, leaving behind a shiny surface, free of tarnish and even rust (it will not, however, be able to fully repair rusted or corroded equipment, it will merely make it shine as if it wasn't rusted).
If the bar of soap is scented, the caster will gain a +3 (unnamed) bonus on the spellcraft check.
Each cleaning action takes 1 round per size class of the cleansed object (1 round to clean a tiny object or creature, 2 rounds to clean a small object or creature, 3 rounds to clean a medium object or creature, etc). At the end of the spell's duration, the bar of soap becomes inanimate and falls down, even if the cleaning action isn't complete yet. Further castings of the spell may be commanded to resume the cleaning action where it left off, as long as no more than 1 hour has passed.
Emily's Lesser Spin Cycle
Evocation
Level: Sorc/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Medium
Target: One creature or object, size medium or smaller
Duration: Special (see below)
Saving Throw: Yes
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster is able to produce a strong vortex of wind around a single target, spinning it around like a top. This has a magnificent effect when used on clothes, but has nefarious side effects when used on living creatures.
Effect: The targeted creature or object (of size no greater than medium) is spun around like a top helplessly for a moment. The creature may attempt to grasp a fixed object or surface they can hold on to (such as a rock wall with crevices the character can grasp, or a pillar) up to 10 feet away, and be allowed a reflex save to negate the effects of the spell.
The object or the creature and any clothing articles it might be wearing at the time are thoroughly cleansed, as per an Emily's Bar of Soap spell with a spellcraft check of 15. The creature or object then falls down, lying prone if appropriate and possible.
The target must also make a fortitude save (at -4) or become dazed for two rounds.
Solid, nonflexible bjects and constructs are instead subject to 2d6 points of structural damage. Fabric and dresses are flexible enough to not suffer any damage whatsoever.
Emily's Greater Spin Cycle
Evocation
Level: Sorc/Wiz 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: One full round
Range: Huge
Target: Caster
Duration: Special (see below)
Saving Throw: Yes
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster is able to produce a strong vortex of wind, centered on herself, that will engulf any and all creatures and objects of any size up to Large. They are spun around the target area wildly, being thoroughly cleaned and dried by the sheer force of the spin.
Effect: All creatures and objects in the targeted area (except for the caster) are lifted up and spun around wildly in the target area. Creatures that are within 10 feet of a fixed object or surface they can hold on to (such as a rock wall with crevices the character can grasp, or a pillar) are allowed a reflex save to negate the effects of the spell. A successful tumble check against a DC of 20 allows the target to attempt to grasp an object up to 15 feet away instead.
All affected creatures and objects will spin around the caster for one round, after which they fall down helplessly on the ground, falling prone and in a different, random location from where they were before, recieving 1d10 points of physical damage per size class (a Tiny fairie will recieve 1d10 damage, while a Large ogre will instead recieve 4d10 damage).
After this, all living creatures must make a fortitude save (at -4) or become dazed for one round per caster level. Each round after the second, however, the creature is allowed an additional fortitude save (at no penalty) to break free of the daze earlier.
Emily's Fantabulous Instant Clothesline
Enchantment
Level: Sorc/Wiz 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: Huge
Target: One creature or object per two caster levels, size no greater than Large
Duration: 1 round/caster level (D)
Additional Counterspells: Freedom
Saving Throw: Yes
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: The caster conjures up a magical clothesline, which can have any shape, from a straight line to a spiral, anywhere up to 25 feet up in the air. Then the caster may choose up to one object per two caster levels, of size no greater than Large, and hang them out to dry.
Effect: The magical clothesline can be erected anywhere where there's enough room, and will always have sufficient length to hang a full compliment of large creatures. It does not need two points of support (just one, can be a wall or a pole or any other fixed object) and can be made to have any shape the caster chooses.
The clothesline is ethereal and does not impede movement to any creatures not affected by the spell. It can not be used for any other effect, such as to emulate a real rope.
Affected creatures are allowed a will save to negate the effect, but all objects and creatures that don't make the save are raised up in the air and hung on the clothesline. Standard reach rules apply when trying to engage creatures hung up (might not be possible to engage them in mellee, as they are hung so high up).
For every round the spell lasts, creatures are held fast as if under the effect of a hold spell. Any creatures with at least 5 ranks in Escape Artist may attempt to break free of the rope, by making an Escape Artist check against a DC of 20 + the caster's primary spellcasting ability modifier. Spellcasters are allowed to cast spells with verbal components, but any spells with somatic components are subject to a 50% failure from having their movements restrained by the clothesline.
Whenever any particular creature breaks free from the clothesline, either because it makes the Escape Artist check, the clothesline is dispelled, or the effect simply ends, they will fall down and recieve standard fall damage for their size class and the height the caster chose to create the clothesline at.
Freedom, or any other effect which would negate a Hold spell also negates the holding power of the clothesline. A creature with Freedom or a similar effect will simply be raised up in the air and fall immediately down as the clothesline fails to grasp it properly.

Well, that's that :)
Long time reader, but first time poster. Also the first time I ever tried to write spells, so please be gentle :)
The flavour text contains references of Forgotten Realms, but the spells themselves are nowhere near FR-specific. If Seņor Giant doesn't approve, the flavor text shall be removed of all FR references
Thanks go to Uin Fleetwood for original concept and basic spell ideas. Also Adonievetrue for hosting and DMing the campaign world where Emily lives in.
Thanks!
