Spell Rhymes of the Second Level
Here’s another installment of my short poems mages and clerics can utter while casting spells, this time of the second level. I previously wrote rhymes for first level magic user spells and first level cleric spells.
Continual DarknessInky darkness, down you clamp.Spread and stifle beacons all.Let no candle, torch, nor lampShine its light beyond this wall.Continual LightNow from star and sun comes lightThat spreads and stays forever long.A shining beacon, true and white,Proclaims the virtue of the strong.Detect EvilOpen I pry my eyes to seeAny evil threats to me.Glow, you creatures from planes beyond.Open, eyes! Respond! Respond!Detect InvisibleSpirits hiding from naked eyeReveal yourself by outline drawnWith silv'ry pen of open skyThat shines your shape with bolts of dawn.InvisibilityDescend yon darkened veil uponSearching eyes now clouded, unclear.You once were here, but now you've gone.And with this touch you disappear.KnockFor sticky door or stubborn keyWith gentle tap, I now unlock.To raise the bar and gain entryThree times on solid clasp I knock.LevitateNow, rise by unseen hand. Soar high!Keep floating while I concentrate.Drift up from earth and towards the sky.Behold the one that levitates.Locate ObjectBy hoary hosts and spirits strange,Upon my thoughts be fixated.If found it could be within range,Let now the thing be located.Mind ReadingThoughts are waves that through ether rideInto my probing mind to scan.The secret consciousness residesAnd fills the space. My mind expands.Mirror ImageSwirling, twisting, false imagesMimic form of magic casters.Every strike must hit visagesUntil final figment falters.Phantasmal ForceA vision projects from my mind.A silent illusion appears.Concentration keeps it confined.By doubt or touch the image clears.WebLike spider silk but more secure,Now sticky strands extend and bind.If ignited, let flames endure.Entrap my prey in threads entwined.Wizard LockMagic lock hold this portal fast.Let wizard's knock only through. Make a seal that forever lasts,So secret treasure hide from view.The clerical spells follow.
BaneOh lord on high, fill my bodyWith a spirit inspiring dread.Attacks will fail, and foes will flee,Who within fifty paces tread.BlessBless my friends, oh holy father.Let courage fill their very hearts.Pang of fear can never botherThose who honor thy holy art.Charm AnimalMusic calms the savage beast, andSo do words most gently spoken.That same creator joins our hands.Friendship ties are now awoken.Find TrapsAny peril laid by evilI pray to see out before me.Traps by glowing will be seen full.Trust have I in him most holy.Hold PersonLet glory hold thee in splendor.My will is force, which I will prove.Though mind is awake, surrender.Limbs, be stiff unable to move.Resist FireFire harms none who honor the nameOf precious lord whose prayer they spoke.Like saints of old who walked through flame,Let faith provide a cooling cloak.SilenceA globe of silence honors mostThe one who spoke the world's first word.In this moment speak no boastNor let no arcane spell be heard.Speak with AnimalsCreature made by the same divine,Listen and understand my voice.Converse with me if you incline.To speak with me remains your choice.Spiritual HammerBy fervent faith in holy mightI call forth his awesome clamor.Let my enemies quake in frightFrom my spiritual hammer.
