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 Darkness
Inky darkness, down you clamp. Spread and stifle beacons all. Let no candle, torch, nor lamp Shine its light beyond this wall.
Continual Light
Now from star and sun comes light That spreads and stays forever long. A shining beacon, true and white, Proclaims the virtue of the strong.
Detect Evil
Open I pry my eyes to see Any evil threats to me. Glow, you creatures from planes beyond. Open, eyes! Respond! Respond!
Detect Invisible
Spirits hiding from naked eye Reveal yourself by outline drawn With silv'ry pen of open sky That shines your shape with bolts of dawn.
Invisibility
Descend yon darkened veil upon Searching eyes now clouded, unclear. You once were here, but now you've gone. And with this touch you disappear.
Knock
For sticky door or stubborn key With gentle tap, I now unlock. To raise the bar and gain entry Three times on solid clasp I knock.
Levitate
Now, 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 Object
By hoary hosts and spirits strange, Upon my thoughts be fixated. If found it could be within range, Let now the thing be located.
Mind Reading
Thoughts are waves that through ether ride Into my probing mind to scan. The secret consciousness resides And fills the space. My mind expands.
Mirror Image
Swirling, twisting, false images Mimic form of magic casters. Every strike must hit visages Until final figment falters.
Phantasmal Force
A vision projects from my mind. A silent illusion appears. Concentration keeps it confined. By doubt or touch the image clears.
Web
Like spider silk but more secure, Now sticky strands extend and bind. If ignited, let flames endure. Entrap my prey in threads entwined.
Wizard Lock
Magic 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.
Bane
Oh lord on high, fill my body With a spirit inspiring dread. Attacks will fail, and foes will flee, Who within fifty paces tread.
Bless
Bless my friends, oh holy father. Let courage fill their very hearts. Pang of fear can never bother Those who honor thy holy art.
Charm Animal
Music calms the savage beast, and So do words most gently spoken. That same creator joins our hands. Friendship ties are now awoken.
Find Traps
Any peril laid by evil I pray to see out before me. Traps by glowing will be seen full. Trust have I in him most holy.
Hold Person
Let 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 Fire
Fire harms none who honor the name Of precious lord whose prayer they spoke. Like saints of old who walked through flame, Let faith provide a cooling cloak.
Silence
A globe of silence honors most The one who spoke the world's first word. In this moment speak no boast Nor let no arcane spell be heard.
Speak with Animals
Creature made by the same divine, Listen and understand my voice. Converse with me if you incline. To speak with me remains your choice.
Spiritual Hammer
By fervent faith in holy might I call forth his awesome clamor. Let my enemies quake in fright From my spiritual hammer.
