Evocation [Fire]
Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Sor/Wiz 0

Effect: A small tongue of flame in the palm of your hand
Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistence: No
This spell was developed by Zukam, both as a utility spell and as a method of identifying members of the Order of the Hidden Fire. Armed with this simple spell, he and other spellcasters crafted many rings that allow the spell to be used by non-casters, making it a functional badge of membership (so to speak) into the Order of the Hidden Fire.

When you cast this spell, a small tongue of bright green flame appears in the palm of your hand. This flame sheds light as a candle, and can be used to set easily-combustible objects on fire (paper, dry wood, cloth, etc). This flame cannot be used to set a creature on fire.

In addition to its utility for starting fires and providing light, the flame produced by this spell can be caused to flicker in any pattern the caster desires, allowing it to function for the transmission of short coded messages.

Mask*
Illusion [Glamer]
Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: S, V, F
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: 1 Creature Touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will Negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
This spell was developed by Order of the Hidden Fire researchers to provide a quick, easy, and cheap way to disguise the facial features of Plaguetouched. When cast by a powerful enough spellcaster, it even allows them to cover the bloody tears that mark the Plaguetouched.

This spell allows the caster to alter the minor facial features of the creature touched. Changes are limited to; changing eye color, covering or adding scars/birthmarks/etc, tweaking the shape of facial features, and other minor changes of a similar scope. The appearance of the target’s face is altered at the time of casting the spell, and does not change (however, see below).

In addition to altering already-existing facial features, this spell allows the caster to attempt to anticipate future changes in appearance. Whenever the facial features of the subject of this spell change (i.e. gets a scar or a burn, eyes bleed, etc.), make a Spellcraft check using the modifier of the caster of the spell. The DC to successfully cover the change in facial features is 15 + 2/hour since the casting of the spell. If this check is unsuccessful, changes appear on the target’s face as normal.

This spell only changes the appearance of the subject’s face. It does not disguise the texture of the subject’s face, nor does it prevent any other senses from detecting the subject’s true features. This spell grants a +5 bonus to Disguise checks when used to create a disguise.

Focus Component: A mask of any type

Obscure Symptoms*
Illusion [Glamer]
Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: S, V, F
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: 1 Humanoid Touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw:Will Negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
This spell was developed as a more robust version of Mask to obscure some of the more dramatic symptoms of the Plaguetouched.

This spell can be cast on any humanoid that has been affected by a disease or is currently suffering from a disease. The spell seeks out the remnants of the disease, determines the external, physical symptoms of that disease, and masks those symptoms so that it appears to all observers that they are not occurring. This spell only obscures visual evidence of the symptoms. Other senses may register the symptoms as normal.

This spell grants the target a +10 bonus on Disguise checks to appear whole and healthy when his/her symptoms would otherwise be apparent.

Focus Component: Some bandages or other health-related material taken from the target

Suppress Symptoms*
Conjuration [Healing]
Level: Clr 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 Minute
Range: Touch
Target: 1 Creature Touched
Duration: 10 minutes/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude Negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
One of the greatest breakthroughs of the Order of the Hidden Fire’s researchers, this spell can be used to suppress the symptoms of any disease for a period of minutes, allowing Plaguetouched to exist in normal society for a short period of time.

Upon completion of casting, all disease symptoms suffered by the target are suppressed. Any physical evidence of the disease temporarily disappears, and all ability scores are temporarily restored to normal. Sores recede, tremors cease, any seizures that would be suffered during this time period do not occur, etc. This spell effects even diseases immune to Remove Disease. At the end of the spell’s duration, the symptoms return.

Material Component: Healing oils and ointments
