Earthquake

Evocation
When the character casts earthquake, an intense but highly localized tremor rips the ground. It knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ground, and more. The shock lasts 1 round, during which time creatures on the ground can't move or attack. Spellcasters on the ground must make Concentration checks (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spells they try to cast. The earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The exact effects depend on the terrain and its features:

Elemental swarm

Conjuration (Summoning) [see text]
This spell opens a portal to an Elemental Plane. A druid can choose which plane (air, earth, fire, or water); a cleric opens a portal to the plane matching his domain. The character can then summon elementals from that plane.
When the spell is complete, 2d4 Large elementals appear. Ten minutes later, 1d4 Huge elementals appear. Ten minutes after that, one greater elemental appears. Each elemental has at least 5 hit points per HD. Once the elementals appear, they serve the character for the duration of the spell.
The elementals obey the character explicitly and never attack the character, even if someone else manages to gain control over them. The character does not need to concentrate to maintain control over the elementals. The character can dismiss them singly or in groups at any time.
When the character uses a summoning spell to summon an air, earth, fire, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.

Emotion

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
This spell arouses a single emotion of the character's choice in the subjects. The character can choose any one of the following versions:

Endurance

Transmutation
The spell grants the subject an enhancement bonus (1d4+1 points) to Constitution.

Endure elements

Abjuration
This abjuration grants a creature limited protection to damage from whichever one of five energy types the character selects: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. Each round, the spell absorbs the first 5 points of damage the creature would otherwise take from the specified energy type, regardless of whether the source of damage is natural or magical. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well.
Endure elements absorbs only damage. The character could still suffer unfortunate side effects.
Note: Endure elements overlaps (and does not stack with) resist elements and protection from elements. If a character is warded by protection from elements and one or both of the other spells, the protection spell absorbs damage until it is exhausted. If a character is warded by resist elements and endure elements at the same time, the resist spell absorbs damage but the endure spell does not.

Energy drain

Necromancy
The character must make a ranged touch attack to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 2d4 negative levels.
If the ray strikes an undead creature, that creature gains 2d4 x5 temporary hit points for 1 hour.

Enervation

Necromancy
The character must make a ranged touch attack to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 1d4 negative levels.
If the ray strikes an undead creature, it gives that creature 5 temporary hit points per two caster levels (maximum 25 temporary hit points) for 1 hour.

Enlarge

Transmutation
This spell causes instant growth of a creature or object, increasing both size and weight. The subject grows by up to 10% per caster level, increasing by this amount in height, width, and depth (to a maximum of 50%). Weight increases by approximately the cube of the size increase, as follows:
Enlarge - Height and Weight Increase
Height Increase Weight Increase
+10% (x 1.1) +30% (x 1.3)
+20% (x 1.2) +70% (x 1.7)
+30% (x 1.3) +120%(x 2.2)
+40% (x 1.4) +170% (x 2.7)
+50% (x 1.5) +240% (x 3.4)
All equipment worn or carried by a creature is enlarged by the spell. If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size, bursting weak enclosures in the process. However, it is constrained without harm by stronger materials-the spell cannot be used to crush a creature by growth.
Magical properties are not increased by this spell. Weight, mass, and strength are affected, though. A creature's hit points, Armor Class, and base attack bonus do not change, but Strength increases along with size. For every 20% of enlargement, the creature gains a +1 enlargement bonus to Strength.
Multiple magical effects that increase size do not stack.
Enlarge counters and dispels reduce.

Entangle

Transmutation
Plants entwine about creatures in the area or those who enter the area, holding them fast. An entangled creature suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, suffers a -4 penalty to effective Dexterity, and can't move. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15) or lose the spell. An entangled creature can break free and move half normal speed by using a full-round action to make a Strength check or an Escape Artist check (DC 20). A creature who succeeds at a Reflex saving throw is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. Each round, the plants once again attempt to entangle all creatures who have avoided or escaped entanglement.

Enthrall

Enchantment (Charm) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting, Sonic]
If the character has the attention of a group of creatures, the character can use this spell to hold them spellbound. To cast the spell, the character must speak or sing without interruption for 1 full round. Thereafter, those affected give the character their undivided attention, ignoring their surroundings. They are considered to have an attitude of friendly while under the effect of the spell. Those of a race or religion unfriendly to the character gain a +4 bonus to the saving throw.
Creatures with 4 or more HD or with Wisdom scores of 16 or higher remain aware of their surroundings and have an attitude of indifferent. They gain new saving throws if they witness actions that they oppose.
The enchantment lasts as long as the character speaks or sings, to a maximum of 1 hour. Those enthralled by the character's words take no action while the character speaks or sings, and for 1d3 rounds thereafter while they discuss the topic or performance. Those entering the area during the performance must also successfully save or become enthralled. The speech ends (but the 1d3-round delay still applies) if the character loses concentration or does anything other than speaking or singing.
If those not enthralled have unfriendly or hostile attitudes toward the character, they can collectively make a Charisma check to try to end the spell by jeering and heckling. This check is based on the character with the highest Charisma and has a +2 bonus for each other jeerer who can make a Charisma check of 10 or higher. The heckling ends the spell if it beats the character's opposed Charisma check. Only one such challenge is allowed per use of the spell.
If any member of the audience is attacked (or subjected to an overtly hostile act), the spell ends and the audience becomes immediately unfriendly toward the character (or hostile, for audience members with 4 or more HD and Wisdom 16 or higher).

Entropic shield

Abjuration
This field deflects incoming arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks. Each ranged attack directed at the character suffers a 20% miss chance. This miss chance affects all ranged attacks for which the attackers make attack rolls.

Erase

Transmutation
Erase removes writings of either magical or mundane nature from a scroll or from up to two pages of paper, parchment, or similar surfaces. It removes explosive runes, glyphs of warding, sepia snake sigils, and arcane marks, but it does not remove illusory script or symbols. Nonmagical writings are automatically erased if the character touches them and no one else is holding them. Otherwise, the chance is 90%. Magic writings must be touched, and the character must roll 15+ on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) to succeed. (A natural 1 or 2 is always a miss on this roll.) If the character fails to erase explosive runes, a glyph of warding, or a sepia snake sigil, the character accidentally activates the runes, glyph, or sigil instead.

Ethereal jaunt

Transmutation
The character becomes ethereal, along with the character's equipment. The character enters a place called the Ethereal Plane, which overlaps the normal, physical, Material Plane.
When the spell expires, the character returns to material existence.
If the character ends the spell and become material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), the character is shunted off to the nearest open space and takes 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that the character traveled.

Etherealness

Transmutation
The character and other creatures joined by linked hands (along with their equipment) become ethereal. Besides the character, the character can bring one creature per three caster levels to the Ethereal Plane. Once ethereal, the creatures need not stay together.
When the spell expires, all affected creatures in the Ethereal Plane return to material existence. If a character becomes material while inside a material object (such as a solid wall), the character is shunted off to the nearest open space and takes 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet that the character traveled.

Expeditious retreat

Transmutation
The character's speed and maximum jumping distances both double. These benefits count as enhancement bonuses.

Explosive runes

Abjuration [Force]
The character traces these runes upon a book, map, scroll, or similar object bearing written information. The runes detonate when read, dealing 6d6 points of damage. Anyone next to the runes (close enough to read them) takes this damage with no saving throw. Others within 10 feet of the runes take half damage if they succeed at Reflex saving throws. The object in which the runes were written also takes the damage (no saving throw).
As the spellcaster, the character and any characters the character specifically instructs can read the protected writing without triggering the runes. Likewise, the character can remove the runes whenever desired. Others can remove them with a successful dispel magic or erase spell. However, attempting to dispel or erase the runes and failing to do so triggers the explosion.

Eyebite

Transmutation [see text]
The character can meet the gaze of a creature and speak a single word to affect it with one of four magical effects: charm, fear, sicken, or sleep. The character selects one of these four possible gaze attacks when casting the spell. The character retains the gaze power for 1 round for every three caster levels and can use the gaze attack as a free action each round.
These effects do not affect undead creatures or extend beyond the plane the character currently occupies. The character is subject to the effects of a reflected gaze and is allowed any applicable saving throw. In the case of a reflected charm gaze, the character is held (as a hold monster spell).
The four versions of the spell are as follows:
Note: Each round, a gaze attack automatically works against one creature within range that is looking at (attacking or interacting with) the gazing creature.
