Lesser Spellsong

This spell enables the caster, by song and supplication to Eilistraee, to cause an effect equivalent to any desired priest spell of 3rd level or less to occur. In effect, the priest casts the spell with normal effects, range, duration, saving throws, and so on, but without the usual gestures or material components.

The caster must be able to move (hands and shoulders at least) and sing, free of magical silencing. If any such silencing occurs before spellcasting ends, the DM may allow partial spell effects to occur, or the spell may be wasted. Priestesses of Eilistraee are trained to sing when in pain and can sing while dodging about in combat.

While material components are not required of the caster, those that require material components in excess of 100 gp in value require an additional round of singing added to the casting time for each 100 gp value (or fraction thereof) of the original spell. Spells that specify that the material component cannot be eliminated or substituted for cannot be created with the lesser spellsong spell.

Notes: Granted by the drow goddess Eilistraee.
