The problem with putting the spells back up is that, ultimately, they can't be put back up.  Spell slots are a finite resource, and even if we go for something like a wand of Hide from Undead, that only works in ten-minute bursts and the save's so crappy that we'll be in a fight every time something intelligent is in the area.<br/><br/><br/>Hm... the problem with an Eagle's Splendor on Garrett is that he already has that +2, making the benefit halved, and Sam's spell slots will already be pretty taxed, having to fire off five GotA's from spell slots...<br/><br/>Actually... GotA's one of those spells you can never have enough of.  I could afford a couple more minor schemas of the thing (actually, I could afford four more, but I'll stop there)...<br/><br/>And if I use a maximized Beauty's Caress kiss, that's +12 charisma (+10 compared to Garrett with the +2 item, for an extra +5 on Spellcraft), but he would look dangerously gorgeous for six hours as well, and I'm not sure his ego could take it; we'll have to make sure to keep him away from mirrors... *Checks.*  Uh-oh.  The spell boosts self-confidence, too.  Ah, well.<br/><br/>For a paltry 375, we could get Mark with a wand of Guidance for another +1.<br/><br/>Though if we go with that, the Knowledge check becomes the limiting factor... unless we have Garrett take care of writing the schema, too.  Lessee.<br/><br/><br/>Spellcraft: +46 (56) (+18 base, +2 masterwork tool, +20 GotA, +5 Beauty's Caress, +1 Guidance)<br/>Knowledge [assuming Garrett does it]: +46 (56) (+12 base, +4 charisma, +20 GotA, +8 Divine Insight, +2 masterwork tool)<br/><br/>6 checks (5+1)<br/>45 base (20+5*5)<br/>+4 Minute between checks<br/>-6 Eleven secondary casters<br/>+15 Thirty-two-fold radius<br/>-1 100XP<br/>-1 2d6 damage<br/>=DC56<br/><br/>That gives us a holy sphere half a mile across, set up within six minutes.  I think that'll cut it.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Sam can probably handle a day-per Bull's Strength ritual pretty easily, while Garrett gets stuck with all this.
