Spells to put on Runestaff for "At the end of day"
« on: July 28, 2012, 10:35:49 AM »
So, I had a wizard (Level 8) who has been carrying a runestaff, and looking at it.  Realized these things are also useful for wizards (I thought they were mostly Sorcerer thing).

One thing I realized, is that it can be used to "Burn left over spells" at the end of the day.  Much the same way Clerics can do so to turn them into Cure spells.

A couple of obvious ones were Rope Trick and Alarm...If those were on the Runestaff, the Glitterdust and Grease that didn't get used during the day can be turned into them.

Another one was Quick Potion.  Extend it, put Extended Darkvision or Mage Armor or whatnot that are Hours/CL, and when he wakes up, drink the potion to have those spells running next day.

Also, realized Mnemonic Enhancer, because the spell prepared with that particular spell lasts for 24 hours, can be pushed into *next* day.

Any other spell that's good to be put into runestaff?  I'd love:

Spells like Quick Potion and Mnemonic Enhancer (rather than spells Explosive Runes where we can just horde over time) that can be used to "Push spells for next day"
Level 3 spells

Thanks!

Shrink Item for "end of the day".

You should also consider them for 1xday buffs, though, like Heart of Water.

Mage armor and its derivatives also work (metamagicked, too!), due to their hours/CL duration.

I like Unseen Servant.  Let it cook dinner, clean and sharpen your weapons, lay out clothes for the morning, rock you to sleep, etc.

Create Magic Tattoo (PGtF), day duration.  Up to 3 different castings per target.  Extend and buff your party with leftover spells.  (Things like +1 CL, or +2 competence to attack.)

Hey, I missed Shrink Item...perfect.

Yeah, other 1xday buffs were also considered.  But Hour/CL doesn't last quite long enough at level7ish even with extend for the "next" day purpose.  They start falling off before the end and I constantly had to ask "So what time is it now"
