This spell is usable only at night under a moonlit sky. The incantation weaves an aura of moonlight around the caster or a chosen visible being within spell range. The area of effect moves with the focal being. This magical field glows with a pearl-white radiance bright enough to read by. Within its confines, creatures receive special benefits against all cold-based, paralyzing, and level draining attacks. The warded creatures receive an extra saving throw or damage lessened by 1 point per die-whichever best applies in the DM's judgment. Once per round, while a mooncloak lasts, the spell's caster can choose to sacrifice one memorized spell. The spell is expended without being cast, and the caster or another creature touched by the caster within the moonlit field gains a number of hit points equal to twice the level of the expended spell.
The caster must touch the chosen individual to so gift (and usually heal) him or her, and cannot cast another spell in the same round. If hit points gained in this way raise a being to more than its usual total, the extra hit points are lost.
A mooncloak can outlast the death, unconsciousness, or flight of its caster, but vanishes instantly if the caster desires it ended.
The material component is a moonstone, pearl, or other pale-hued gemstone of not less than 50 gp in value, which is destroyed in the casting.
Notes: Restricted to the Seven Sisters, their apprentices, and select Harpers; rare.
