I would suggest just copying my post and inserting the relevant info. That way whoever is working on this can just reference the newest post containing book content, and you can just copy the whole thing into the handbook as we go.

I am going to add your stuff to the lists I already have, rather than add it at the bottom. I am going to have to get my hands on some of these books though because I need to sort them into Evocation and Conjuration (for the lesser mortals who aren't shadowcraft mages but still use Shadow Evocation and Shadow Conjuration)

I am also interested in how Shadow spells lack of components interacts with Summon Marked Homunculus, is the mark requirement bypassed the same way material components usually are?

I am going to add your stuff to the lists I already have, rather than add it at the bottom.

If you want I'll just absorb the books you already did. It'll probably be faster that way.

I am going to have to get my hands on some of these books though because I need to sort them into Evocation and Conjuration (for the lesser mortals who aren't shadowcraft mages but still use Shadow Evocation and Shadow Conjuration)

But this is the SCM Handbook!  Get off my lawn you lesser illusionists!

I am also interested in how Shadow spells lack of components interacts with Summon Marked Homunculus, is the mark requirement bypassed the same way material components usually are?

Considering that you aren't actually casting the spell, only mimicking the effects, I'd say so. The spell basically reads like this:

Code: [Select]

Shadow Evocation:
Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Sor/Wiz X
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Effect: See text
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with)
Spell Resistance: Yes

Insert effects of your choice of Evocation here, with quasireality restrictions.
