101 Divine Spell Components
Introduction 101 Arcane Spell Components was a lot of fun to write. As people continue to buy it I continue to hear “When will you release a PDF of divine spell components?” As you can no doubt tell, that question need no longer be asked. Inside the pages of this PDF you will find rules for supplementary spell components for use by divine spell casters. The challenge in the writing of this PDF was to instill a sense of religious power into the components. On many I feel that I succeeded. On others I feel that I did not. But all are a worthy addition to the arsenal of any divine spellcaster. As with all new game rules these are not official or available for your favorite PC arcane spellcaster until the DM gives his approval. Since so many of the effects described in this book can unbalance a campaign DMs are encouraged to carefully consider each one before allowing it. Even then, some DMs may choose to modify the effects, values, or DCs of these components to better suit his own campaign. The information in this book is designed for the use of divine spellcasters only. DMs, at their choosing, may open the use of some or all of these supplementary components to the arcane schools in their campaign world. Since the concepts and material within this PDF were based on those found in 101 Arcane Spell Components there are some similar supplementary spell components in these pages. Many are similar (or even identical) in name only, the actual game rules and effects being very different from their arcane counterparts. Read carefully.
OPEN GAME CONTENT All of the text in this PDF is presented as open game content. You may use this content in your own work as long as you follow the terms of the license.

SUPPLEMENTARY SPELL COMPONENTS As with 101 Arcane Spell Components, this PDF presents a new type of spell component known as supplementary. All of the spell components detailed in this chapter are considered to be “supplementary.” That is, they are not required to cast spells but are, instead, used only to provide added damage, range, duration, or other effects to a spell. Unlike 101 Arcane Spell Components, the components presented in this PDF are divided into 22 categories that fit the cleric domains found in the Player’s Handbook plus a “miscellaneous” category of components that will work with any divine spell. The components may only be used as presented here with spells that fall within the necessary cleric domain. Example: All of the components presented in this PDF use the following format:
Name Description: The description includes some basic visual information and other assorted bits of knowledge. Effect: The effect, either an enhancement or possible side effect, of using the component when casting a spell. This effect may be combined with the effects of metamagic feats. Negative Side Effect: Some of the components, if the caster rolls a 1 on the required spellcraft check to determine whether or not the supplementary component affects the spell, have a negative effect that takes place instead of the desired one. In addition the spell cast does not take place though it is no longer prepared. Casting Time Modifier: The amount of time that must be added to the Casting Time of the spell that is cast. Spells with a “1 action” casting time are rounded up to a full-round action (plus this modifier) when a supplementary spell component is used in casting.

101 Divine Spell Components
DIVINE.ARCANE.WHO CARES? The DM may rule that the components in this PDF and those in 101 Arcane Spell Components may be used by any spellcaster, regardless of whether he is a divine or arcane spellcaster. This is certainly a simple way to approach the situation and will greatly expand the components available to both types of spellcasters. Would doing this break anything? Not really. But it would detract from the flavor of some of the spell components. A better way to approach the situation is for the DM to write different effects for each component depending on whether the caster is divine or arcane. Several items already have two options that could be used as a guideline for such a project. This would be a massive task and should not be attempted by DMs who are pressed for time.
Component Type: Supplementary spell components are verbal, material, or somantic. While some feats, such as Still Spell, may allow spells to be cast without using the necessary components these feats do not affect spells cast when using supplementary spell components. Knowledge (Religion) DC: Not all spellcasters know of the secrets of each supplementary spell component. This DC is the number that must be surpassed (or equaled) for a caster to know the specifics of this supplementary component. Using this knowledge in game can be difficult and DMs should encourage roleplaying. Weight: The weight of the component. Value: What the component is worth in an appropriate shop. DMs should not make these components readily available but should, instead, force PC spellcasters to personally locate and claim the individual components. The search for almost any of these components could be used as the backdrop for an adventure.

101 Divine Spell Components
The Components AIR DOMAIN A Strong Wind Description: Any wind of 20 miles per hour or greater can be the source of enhanced power for air domain spells. During such a strong wind the caster may attempt to draw upon the strength of the wind to charge any air domain spells. Effect: With a successful Spellcraft check (DC 10 + level) the spell is cast as if the caster were 1d4 levels higher in power than he actually is. On a failed check the spell functions normally. This spell component may not be combined with other components. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 15 Weight: None. Value: None.
Death of an Aerial Servant Description: When one of these semi-intelligent creatures from the Elemental Plane of Air is destroyed on the material plane its death creates an opportunity for those divine spellcasters of the air domain. Effect: Upon casting the caster must succeed a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level). If successful the caster is able to revive the aerial servant, who becomes his to control for 2d4 rounds at which point it dies again (and cannot be used as a supplementary spell component the second time it dies). No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Casting Time Modifier: +2 rounds. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 22 Weight: None. Value: None.
Natural Storm Description: A natural storm, and not one created by any magical means. Storms that take place at night are more effective than those during the day. Effect: The duration and range of a spell cast during a storm is doubled if the caster succeeds a Spellcraft check (DC 20+spell level) when the spell is cast. The effect of this spell component may be combined with other components or damage modifiers. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 15. Weight: None. Value: None.
ANIMAL DOMAIN Birth of an Animal Description: If the caster witnesses the birth of an animal it empowers him with a small degree of magical power that can be released during the casting of a spell. This power must be used within 30 days of witnessing the animal’s birth. Effect: Any variables of a spell, when this component is used in casting, are doubled. If this component is used the usual material components of the spell are not needed. The effects of this component may be combined with other supplementary spell components. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 10. Weight: None. Value: None.

101 Divine Spell Components Cry of an Eagle Description: The piercing, majestic cry of an eagle can uplift the spirits of any caster of the animal domain. This beautiful cry empowers animal domain spells, making them more powerful. Within three rounds of hearing the cry this power must be used or else it is lost. Effect: A spellcaster who uses this component with any spell that has a duration must make a Spellcraft check (DC 10+spell level). On a successful check the duration of the spell is doubled. The extended duration effect of this component may not be combined with any modifier to the spell’s duration. Components or modifiers that affect other aspects of the spell may be used. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 18. Weight: None. Value: None.
CHAOS DOMAIN Chaos Gem Description: A chaos gem is a rare gemstone found in the northern mountains. It’s black or gray in color and some have light-colored speckles. A perfect, small chaos gem (like is required if it is to be used as a spell component) is difficult to find. Flawed chaos gems can be found but there is a 75% chance that, when used in spellcasting, flawed gems will have no affect on the spell. Effect: The effect of a chaos gem when used as a spell component is random. After casting the spell, if the caster succeeds a Spellcraft check (DC 2d6+spell level) roll 1d6 and consult the following table: Roll Effect 1-3 None 4 Duration of the spell is doubled 5 Range of the spell is doubled 6 Damage of the spell is doubled. 7 All variables are doubled. 8+ The caster instantly regains all spells that have already been used that day.
Add 2 to the roll if a (perfect) black chaos gem is used. Components or modifiers that affect other aspects of the spell may also be used. Negative Side Effect: The gem absorbs the highest available spell the caster has prepared. The caster permanently loses that spell slot and cannot regain the missing slot (not even a wish spell will undo this effect). Casting Time Modifier: +1d6 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 22. Weight: <1 lb. Value: 385 gp, 75 gp (flawed).
ACQUIRING COMPONENTS Just hunting for many of these components could form the basis for a series of adventures. GMs are encouraged to never just give the player characters free access to the components described in this book. Although prices are listed, they are not there so that players can go on shopping sprees. For GMs who wish to allow their players to purchase these supplementary spell components, see The Mad Merchant’s Shop of Curious Wares available at www.rpgnow.com. This is a free PDF that details a small shop. It would be an easy matter for the GM to offer these components for sale in that shop.
Flesh of a Chaos Beast Description: Not only do arcane spellcasters use the gray, rubbery flesh of a chaos beast. If the flesh is slightly damp and fresh (no more than 24 hours old) a divine spellcaster may also draw on the powers of these odd monsters. Effect: Upon casting a Spellcraft check (DC 2d6+spell level) must be made by the caster. On a successful check the caster is instantly granted chaos hammer, which he may cast twice per day for 1d6 days. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one.

101 Divine Spell Components Casting Time Modifier: +1 round. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 22. Weight: 5 lbs. Value: 650 gp.
Suffered Damage from a Lawful Character or Creature Description: A chaotic-aligned spellcaster who has suffered damage from a lawful-aligned character or creature can instantly turn the lingering effects of that damage into power that augments a chaotic domain spell. The spellcaster has 2d4 rounds after suffering such damage during which he may augment a spell. After that time the ability is lost. Effect: A spellcaster who uses this component with any chaotic domain spell must make a Spellcraft check (DC 1d10+spell level). On a successful check the spell is cast as if the caster were 1d20 levels higher than he actually is. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Casting Time Modifier: +1d4 rounds. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 30. Weight: None. Value: None.
Troll s Heart Description: The heart of a troll, when left in the summer sun for two weeks, grows hard and black. This hardened heart may be used by divine spellcasters as a supplementary spell component. Effect: A spellcaster who uses this component with any spell that causes damage must make a Spellcraft check (DC 10+spell level). On a successful check the damage of the spell is increased by 2 points per level of the caster (maximum of 30 points). The effect of this spell component may not be combined with other components. Casting Time Modifier: +2 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 16. Weight: 6 lbs. Value: 35 gp.

101 Divine Spell Components
DEATH DOMAIN Breeam Description: This tough plant has straight stalks adorned with bright yellow flowers. The seeds of the plant pop when it is ripe. Used in foods as an herb and a component in many spells, it is its use as a supplementary component where breeam becomes truly useful. The seeds, when ground into a fine powder, may be used by divine spellcasters. Effect: Upon casting a thick cloud of smoke bursts forth, centered on the caster. This cloud turns all undead within 20 feet as if the caster were a 10th level cleric. Any living creatures caught within the cloud, ONSUMED including the spellcaster, must succeed a Fortitude check (DC 15) or IN ASTING suffer 2d6 points of damage.

Casting Time Modifier: +5 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 18. Weight: <1 lb. Value: None.
Flesh of a Flayed Man Description: The flayed man is a rare form of undead, a spell-using creature that can only be created from the body of a dead necromancer. A flayed man is without skin since the process of their creation requires that all of their skin be removed. The meaty flesh of the creature, when properly harvested, may be used as a supplementary spell component. The flesh of these foul creatures will function properly as a spell component for 1d4+1 weeks. After that time the material is garbage. To properly harvest the flesh of a flayed man required a Knowledge (Arcana) or Spellcraft check (DC 20). Effect: Upon casting a successful Spellcraft check must be made (DC 15+spell level). If the check is successful the caster permanently loses 1d6 points of Constitution but gains the ability to fire a blast of negative energy once per day. This blast deals 1d6 hp of damage per level of the caster (maximum 10d6). The effect of this spell component may not be combined with other components or damage modifiers. Negative Side Effect: The spell being cast fails and the caster permanently loses 2d4 points of Constitution. The caster does not gain the negative energy blast ability. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 25 Weight: 3 lbs. Value: 450 gp.

101 Divine Spell Components Hand of a Coffer Corpse
Headstone
Description: Zombie-like in appearance, this bony hand ends in long, sharp claws. The hand of a coffer corpse, no matter how long it has been since the creature was destroyed, may be used as a supplementary spell component by divine spellcasters. Effect: Upon casting a Spellcraft check (DC 15) must be made by the spellcaster. On a successful check the spell takes place normally and the hands of the caster twist and distort, becoming those of a coffer corpse. For six rounds the caster may make claw attacks like a coffer corpse (1d4+4 damage) including the Improved Grab and Death Grip abilities of the creature (see box). The effect of this spell component may not be combined with other components. Negative Side Effect: The power of the coffer corpse consumes the caster and he drops to the ground screaming in pain. After 1d4 rounds the screaming ends but the caster has become a coffer corpse. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 18 Weight: 3 lbs. Value: 130 gp.
Description: The headstone of a grave may be used by evil-aligned spellcasters. The headstone must come from a grave no less than 10 years old and the body must have been left undisturbed within the grave since it was buried. Effect: The target of any spell this supplementary component is augmented by must succeed a Will save (DC 15+spell level) or temporarily lose 1d8 Constitution. The caster must make a successful Spellcraft check (DC 15+spell level) or suffer temporary loss of 2d4 Constitution. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Negative Side Effect: The caster permanently loses 1d4 points of Constitution. Casting Time Modifier: +5 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 18. Weight: 40 lbs. Value: 15 gp.
ABILITIES OF THE COFFER CORPSE On successful use of the hand of a coffer corpse the caster gains the following abilities for six rounds. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the caster must hit an opponent of large size or smaller with both claw attacks. If he gets a hold, the caster uses his death grip. The caster has a grapple bonus of +5. Death Grip (Ex): The caster deals 1d4+4 points of damage per round with a successful grapple check (grapple bonus +5) against a Large or smaller creature. Because the caster grasps the victim’s throat, a creature in his grasp cannot speak or cast spells with verbal components.
Lost Half of Hit Points in One Round Description: A spellcaster who has suffered this much damage in a single round comes closer to death and, possibly, can harness the power of death to augment his death domain spells. This power must be used within twenty rounds of suffering the damage. Effect: Immediately after casting the spellcaster must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15+spell level). On a successful check the caster is charged with the power of death and, on his next successful touch attack, deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level. This must be used within 10 rounds or it is lost. The effect of this spell component may be combined with other components or damage modifiers. Casting Time Modifier: +1 round. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 25. Weight: None. Value: None.

101 Divine Spell Components Necromancer s Robes Description: The robes of a divine or arcane necromancer can be a potent supplementary component for casters of the death domain. Only the robes of a spellcaster of 10th level or higher may be used as a supplementary spell component and the robes must have been worn for at least six months of game time. Effect: A Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level) is required when casting a spell that is supplemented by the component. On a successful check the spell is infused with negative energy that deals 2d6 points of damage to one target of the spell’s effect (caster’s choice). If the spell does not affect an individual this negative energy is absorbed by the spellcaster and may be released as a negative energy blast (2d6 damage) at any point in the next twenty rounds. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Negative Side Effect: The robes are over-taken by the negative energy and transform into an incorporeal undead creature that attacks the caster. The DM will select any incorporeal undead of his choice (ghost is recommended). Casting Time Modifier: +4 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 16. Weight: 2-4 lbs. Value: Difficult to determine, GM’s judgment.
Paw of a Ghoul Wolf Description: Ghoul wolves resemble normal wolves, save that their fur is matted in places and torn away from their flesh in other places. To identify the paw of a ghoul wolf without seeing the rest of the creature’s body requires a successful Knowledge (Nature) check (DC 16). For every 24-hour period since the beast was slain there is a 10% chance that the mandible will have no effect when used in spellcasting (check after casting). Effect: A spellcaster who uses this component with any spell that causes damage must make a Spellcraft check (DC 10+spell level). On a successful check the damage of the spell is increased by 3 points per level of the spell plus 1 point per level of the caster. The effect of this spell component may not be combined with other components or damage modifiers.

Spined Worm Larva Description: These six-inch long worms, with long spiny horns over each eye, will one day grow to become the frightening spined worm. In their larval form they are more nuisance than deadly beast. A dried out spined worm larva may be used as a supplementary spell component. Effect: If the caster makes a successful Spellcraft check (DC 20) all creatures affected by the spell suffer 1d6 points of acid damage. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Negative Side Effect: The spell casts normally. The spined worm larva bursts in the caster’s hands, inflicting 3d6 points of acid damage to him. A Reflex save (DC 15) reduces this damage to 1d6 points. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 19. Weight: <1 lb. Value: 50 gp.
10 of 33
101 Divine Spell Components Tools of a Bone Delver Description: Undead monsters that were once grave robbers, the bone delvers are seen primarily near cemeteries and graveyards. When destroyed they leave behind the tools of their trade, a lantern and shovel, which can be used to increase the power of death domain spells. Effect: This component may only be used with spells that target an individual. The target of any spell augmented by this component first suffers the effects of the spell. A grave then opens beneath the targets feet. The target must make a Reflex save (DC 15) or fall into this 6 ft. deep grave. If the target fails the save he is stunned for one round. The effect of this spell component may be combined with other components. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 18 Weight: 5 lbs. Value: 6 gp.

Value: Varies by type of armor.
Brutal Damage Description: If a caster deals 20 points of damage to a target in one round (by weapon or magic) his deity smiles favorably upon him and bestows the following effect.

This component may be combined with other supplementary spell components. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: S. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 12. Weight: None. Value: None.
Death of Others Description: If an intelligent humanoid dies within 10 feet of the caster it is possible to harness that energy to power a destructive spell.

11 of 33
101 Divine Spell Components Iron Golem s Head Description: The iron golem is one of the most powerful of the constructs created by mortal wizards. The head of a destroyed iron golem retains a small measure of the construct’s power. Effect: If the caster succeeds a Spellcraft check (DC 10+spell level) there is a 60% chance that the caster will be infused with the magic immunity of the destroyed iron golem. For 2d6 rounds the caster is immune to all spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural effects, except as follows. An electricity effect slows him (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw. A fire effect breaks any slow effect and cures 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage caused by the fire. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 22. Weight: 25 lbs. Value: 190 gp.

EARTH DOMAIN A Small Pebble Description: A common pebble found along the side of a trail or anywhere else in nature. These plentiful stones are not all suitable as a supplementary spell component. Any pebble, when found, has only a 2% chance of being pure enough to enhance earth domain spells. Effect: A spellcaster who uses this component with any spell with a range must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15+spell level). On a successful check the range of the spell is increased as if the caster were 1d6 levels higher than he actually is.

101 Divine Spell Components Negative Side Effect: The caster loses all prepared spells. Casting Time Modifier: +1 round. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 20. Weight: 6 lbs. Value: 350 gp.
DRAIN LIFE Necromancy Level: Clr 6, Nec 6 Component: V, S, M/DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Effect: Grant 1 negative level/3 levels Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This foul enchantment allows the spellcaster to wither and shrivel the soul of his opponents. To cast this spell, you expose both the target and yourself to negative energy. You both get a Will save to resist the spell effect. On a failed save, that character (whether the caster or his target) gains one negative level for every three levels of the caster. Negative levels result in actual level loss 24 hours later unless the character thus afflicted succeeds a Fort save. The DC for this Fort save differs depending on whether one is the caster or target of this spell. The target’s save DC is 10 + 1/2 your caster level + your Charisma bonus, while your save DC is 10 + 1/2 your caster level. In addition, you gain a bonus to your roll equal to your Charisma modifier – thus, not only is your DC lower but you also gain a bonus to the actual roll. Material Component: A rusty nail.
Flaying Knife Description: These slender blades are too fragile for use in combat but they work perfectly for separating skin from a corpse. Effect: Upon casting the target is instantly subjected to drain life (see box) as if cast by a 20th level spellcaster. If more than one target is affected by the spell the caster must select one within 20 feet of himself. No other components may be used in conjunction with this one. Negative Side Effect: The drain life side effect affects the caster and not the target of his spell. Casting Time Modifier: None. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 15. Weight: <1 lb. Value: 3 gp.

Casting Time Modifier: +2 rounds. Component Type: M. Knowledge (Religion) DC: 25. Weight: Average of 45 lbs. The exact weight depends on the type and age of the dragon. DMs judgment is necessary. Value: Depends on dragon type. 3d6 x 1000 in proper coinage is the average value. Example: A silver dragon’s heart would be worth 3d6 x 1000 silver pieces.
