This spell takes a lump of soap and turns it into your sudsy doppleganger. *After casting this spell, a duplicate of you appears next to you, and can act on your initiative. *The clone looks exactly like you (except really clean), and has all of your abilities, proficiencies and mundane gear with the following exceptions;

  • Any spell that targets it that creates water or has the [Cold] descriptor causes the clone to wash away, ending the spell.
  • It has no casting ability of its own. *You may cast through the double, and it becomes the reference point for purposes of range and starting point.
  • Its hit points are equal to twice your caster level, hit dice equal to your caster level, and 1 hit point per hit die for each metamagic or spell penetration or focus feat involving conjuration, and 2 hit points per hit die if you have the Augment Summoning feat.
  • It only follows your spoken commands, but will continue to do the commanded act until directed otherwise.

Duration: Instantaneous

Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell is the epitome of cleanliness, to the point of being rediculous. *The caster throws a specially prepared soap bar, which explodes into the spell area, dealing 1d8 points of impact damage per caster level (max 20d8 ) as the soap scrubs away the filth (also known as anything but stone or bone). *Additionally, those creatures who fail their save are blind for 1d6 rounds after the spell goes off. *

After the spell happens, the area is covered in soap suds, making walking difficult. *Anyone walking in the area of effect must make a Balance check (DC equal to the spell DC) or slip and fall prone.

Any creature killed by this spell is left as an immaculately clean skeleton.

Material Components: One pound of soap, mixed with one ounce of sodium and water.

EDIT - I made the formatting changes, and took a few things into account per your input. *The thing about the living tissue was removed, since it was too confusing. *Honestly, it was just something to try and be humorous, since not many people do so at such high levels.

DC of Bubble shot? 10+HD+cha maybe?
Not many clean weapons but cool DR.
The creatures saves are Fort+2(not adding Con). Reflex +o, Will +2? Shouldn't 2 Hd make 3 instead if 2?
But it doesn't scale with HD changes?
Maybe make(not adding abil mod) Meduim (4 HD) Fort +4, Reflex +1 Will +4
Large (8 HD) FOrt +6, Reflex+2, Will +6.
other than that, looks great.

Default Re: [Spell Theme] Bubbles

I like this spell series! It really sticks to the theme without falling entirely into the realm of the humorously useless.

Quote:
the soap scrubs away
the filth (also known as living tissue).
Does this mean that against certain creatures, such as most constructs and some undead, this spell would just make them clean? They don't have any living tissue to speak of.

Default Re: [Spell Theme] Bubbles

History:
Owyn Tendril dreamed of being a mighty warrior, living mostly in a fantasy world in his mind where knights ride to battle to slay the dragon and save the princess.

Unfortunately, he was always shaken from his world to finish his chores. Being the son of a mage somewhat shaped his destiny forward. Beyond his own wishes, he was sent to the Academy of Arcanology to follow in his father's footsteps. Because of that, he goofed off a lot in class instead of paying attention to lessons, and was punished to clean the classroom.

He didn't slack off all the time, though. Using what little information he gathered, he developed several spells to help him in his daily duties. And thus, Scrubbing Bubbles was born.

The headmasters saw him trying to use magic to shortchange his punishment, and forced him to clean using a massive amount of cleaning supplies. And it was a lot of cleaning supplies. He couldn't carry them all by himself, so he developed a means to carry them without carrying them.

But his bauble was too fragile, and was too small to carry everything. So he put out a calling through the planes, and the Bubble Elementals answered.

The elementals answered only for so long, before demanding payment of some sort (normally in the way of unadultered soaps). But Owyn was able to study their anatomy and was able to recreate it (somewhat) in his image.

But, the headmasters caught him again using magic to aide him, and were watching him very closely from that point forth. So he developed the bubble grenade. Unfortunately, he put it too close to himself, and took his own life as well.

Rumor has it that one of his Bubble Doubles still roams the school, since areas of the school will randomly be cleaned, but the lab mice will be nothing but skeletons.
