Effect: By means of
this cantrip,
the caster brings into being
a plane of pastel colors
which exactly duplicates a rainbow.
He or she can cause this
30-foot-long,
1-foot-wide band of color
to arch into a bowed shape,
remain a ribbon,
twist and turn, etc.
In any event,
one end of the rainbow
must be within 1" of the caster when the cantrip is cast. <UA: Range
= 1>
The colors
will glow softly and be visible even in total
(normal) darkness.
If no motion is desired,
the caster may leave the
vicinity of the rainbow.
<alt: link to rainbow.htm#i>
If motion is desired,
the caster must control
it by hand gesture and remain within 1" of it.
The rainbow
will last for 1 round and then fade away.
All creatures failing to
save vs. Spell will gaze at the rainbow
for 1-4 segments,
2-5 if the caster keeps
it in motion.
C.V + C.S:
Verbal component is a name
of power (gar-land,
pegee-lee, etc.), which is spoken while
the fingers
of both hands form a pyramid. <d4>
Q: Can the illusionist
cantrip rainbow
be used as a material component
for the 5th-level cleric
spell
rainbow?
A: Yes. The cantrip
creates a shimmering
band of light which exactly
duplicates a
rainbow, and the cleric
spell specifies only
that the caster must be
within sight of a
rainbow of any sort. There
is no reason
why the two dweomers should
not be able
to work in conjunction.

WSG: If an illusionist
casts a rainbow
cantrip and a cleric
who sees it fails his saving
throw, the cleric can successfully cast
a rainbow
spell as long as the casting of the spell begins before
the magic of the cantrip
expires, and the cleric has the material
components readily available.
(It isn’t easy to do, but it’s possible.)
However, a rainbow
spell brought about by these means will
be reduced in efficacy as
follows: the bow will fire only once per
round, not twice; the weight
limit of the bridge is half normal; the
elevator moves at 6” instead
of 12“; and the effects of draughts
from the flagon will be
as if the appropriate spell had been cast by
a cleric of 6th level instead
of 12th.

Effect: In order to
effect this spell, the cleric must
be in sight of a rainbow
of any sort, or have a special component (see
below). The rainbow
spell has four applications, and the cleric is able
to decide which one is desired
at the time of casting. These applications
are:
Bow:
The spell creates a shimmering, multi-layered bow of rainbow
hues.
It is
light and easy to pull, so that anyone with a strength
of 6
or better can use it. It is magic, each of its missiles being equal
to a
+ 3 weapon, and there is no non-proficiency penalty for its
use.
However, it can only be employed by a member of a character
class
permitted to use a bow. The bow will fire 7 missiles before
disappearing.
It fires once or twice per round, according to the
user’s
desire. Each time a missile is fired, one hue leaves the bow,
corresponding
to the color of arrow that is released. Each color of
arrow
has the ability to cause double damage
to certain creatures,
as follows:
Red
- fire dwellers/users
Orange
- earth elementals
Yellow
- vegetable targets (including fungus creatures, shambling
mounds, treants, etc.)
Green
- aquatic creatures and water elementals
Blue
- aerial creatures, electricity-using creatures, and air
elementals
Indigo
- acid-using or poison-using creatures <>
Violet
- metallic or regenerating creatures <>
When
the bow is drawn, an arrow of the appropriate color magically
appears,
nocked and ready. If no color is requested, or a
color
that has already been used is asked for, then the next arrow
(in the
order of the spectrum) will appear.
Bridge:
The caster causes the rainbow to form a seven-hued
bridge.
The bridge is as many feet wide as the cleric has levels of
experience,
and it can bear as much weight, in hundreds of
pounds,
as the cleric has levels of experience. It will be at least 20’
long
and can be as long as 120’, according to the desire of the
caster.
If the bridge’s weight limit is exceeded at any time, the
bridge
will simply disappear into nothingness; otherwise, it will last
for the
length of the spell duration or until ordered out of existence
by the
caster.
Elevator:
When desired, the caster can cause the rainbow to lift his
or her
person, and all those within a 10’ radius, skyward. The effect
is to
carry the cleric and others, if any, in a path arching upward
to as
high an altitude as the cleric desires, and then down
again
if desired. Care must be taken to reach a place of safety before
the spell
duration expires, or the rainbow elevator will disappear,
leaving
those treading upon it with no means of support.
Movement
along the rainbow elevator is at a rate of 12”, and the
arc of
the rainbow trails out 12” behind those traveling upon it.
Flagon:
When used in this form, the rainbow swirls and condenses
into
a seven-colored vessel which contains seven measures of
pure
water. Each time a measure of the water is poured out, one of
the hues
of the container mixes with it to produce a magical
draught.
Any measures of the liquid that remain unused at the expiration
of the
spell duration will disappear, along with the container
itself,
whether the contents have been poured from the
flagon
or not. The draughts and their effects are:
Red
- cure light wounds
Orange
- resist fire
Yellow
- cure blindness
Green
- slow poison
Blue
- cure disease
Indigo
- resist cold
Violet
- remove paralysis
The effects
of each draught consumed will be as if the appropriate
spell
had been cast by a cleric of 12th level, and these effects will
persist
after the duration of the spell expires.
Q:
If the fifth-level cleric spell rainbow
is used
to produce a "flagon,"
and the
draughts are poured off into
separate
containers and stoppered,
will
they retain their dweomer after
the flagon
and any remaining
unpoured
draughts disappear?
A:
No. All draughts not actually consumed
before
the spell duration expires will
disappear,
regardless of whether or not
they
have been poured off. They cannot
be saved
for later use.
(117.32)
MC: The components
for this spell are the cleric’s holy/unholy
symbol and
a vial of holy/unholy water.
If no rainbow is in the vicinity, the cleric can
substitute a diamond
of not less than 1,000 gp value, specifically
prepared
by him or her when in sight
of a rainbow by the casting of bless and prayer spells upon the gem.
Only the holy/unholy
symbol remains after the spell
is CAST.
