I want to reintroduce a few spells from 3ed, help me give my players some fun :

I need the following :
- What is the spell now ... which type of power of ritual.
- market and component cost if a ritual.
- lvl requirement.
- mechanics of the effect.
- if a ritual, what skill is associated.

stone wall spell.

Desired effects,

1 - Used as part of a construction which uses stone walls. in 3ed the stone wall spell was permanent so they could help with constructions.

2 - has part of a combat, to be able to block a corridor or doorway to get some rest or block retreat or reinforcements.

also the mount spell would be needed :

Desired effects,

1 - i don't want my players eating the summoned mount O_o don't ask.

2 - i don't want the horse to be used as a trap trigger unless the player is riding too.

help plz

well "wall of stone" mainly see above

wanted "mount" too but found out about phantom steed which i will simply downgrade to lvl 1.

also all those below found in the phb

major/minor creation

telepathic bond / silence (for a group stealth operation)

contengency

hallucinary terrain/arcane mirage (mostly for trap creation and hide pits)

planar binding

secret chest (for paranoiac Pcs who fear thieves)

is that enough O_o

priority is wall of stone though as my pcs are starting to ask for constructions and i want to offer alternative to "enslave bunch of dwarves to work on mage tower O_o"

Secret Chest is already in there, actually.

I started a project where I've converted all of the PHB and Spell Compendium's first level wizard and cleric spells into 4e format, but they're a tad different and are not currently worked out to be used by those classes (was part of another project of mine.)

either make it a daily utility (lvl 6 or higher) that can make up to 4 squares of wall that are up to 3 squares high. Or make it a ritual that produces an item, which can be consumed for the effect.

I'm bringing the entire 2e spell list and whatever was added from 3e as written. All that I have left to do is determine how often they can be used. Minor tweaks have been made, such as Magic Missile not hitting automatically anymore, but for the most part they port over with no apparent balance issues.

I've also redone the "powers per level" chart. We allow the WIS bonus to give you extra powers. We still have to playtest this part.
