Dying Earth Spells by John
I recently stumbled across John’s comment on Necropraxis where he talked about a Dying Earth-inspired magic-user spell list. I managed to find the orignal pdf, and have converted it to Markdown to be more easily shareable. Direct Dropbox link to original here. The spell list was lightly edited for layout and OGL compliance.
