Spell of sunray, a level 7 attack or evocation spell that effectively focuses the power of the sun on its target (despite being in a dungeon), dealing either very powerful fire damage or simply instantly disintegrating the target. (A compromise could be powerful fire damage in most cases, with the target disintegrated if it reduces their HP to 0, but with undead always being disintegrated).

It could shoot a ray, but might be better off if it used smite targeting like a blessed scroll of fire to strike a single square you don’t have to be lined up with, effectively trading the ability to hit multiple targets for increased lethality.

A spellcasting buff system for Wizards, in which learning a new spell grants you a point on a metamagic skill tree. Most options available on this tree provide incremental buffs to spells you cast with each point invested, with a maximum of 5 points. There are also capstone buffs that are binary.

The exact shape of the tree is not determined, but a list of potential incremental buffs is:

• More damage.
• More explosions.
• Increased ray or beam range.
• Reduced Pw cost of casting.
• Bonus movement points when you cast any spell.
• Temporary bonus to AC when you cast any spell.
• Temporary to-hit or weapon damage bonus when you cast any spell.
• Suffocating magic; shut down dissimilar magic to the spell that you just cast for a few turns.

Possible capstone buffs include:

• You can smite-target spells without needing to see the space.
• Elemental casting that substitutes the damage types of certain ray and explosion spells.

Juiblex has a spit attack, but due to his covetous warping mechanics he hardly ever uses it. Therefore, special case his spit attack to be capable of hitting any target on the level, not necessarily following a line-of-sight path.

A magic arrow spell, modeled off a similar spell in GnollHack. It is a level 1 spell that shoots a magic arrow at a single enemy for 1d6 damage and never misses. Possible variations include boosting the damage to 2d6 but allowing it to miss, or allowing it to be smite-targeted at any enemy in a radius with a direct unobstructed path.

Spell of probing, in the divination school, that probes monsters based on skill:

• Unskilled limits it to touch range and gives minimal information on the monster’s status, possibly only showing HP like a stethoscope.
• Basic is still touch range but gives the usual amount of information.
• Skilled shoots a probing beam and gives some additional information.
• Expert allows you to select any space or monster in your line of sight within a radius, and gives the same information as Skilled.

The wand of probing is raised to be on par with the Skilled effects.
