This is a spell for 3.xE games that I was inspired to create. It is decidely non-combat related...


Love Letter

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting, Sexual]

Level: Sor/Wiz 7, Joining 7

Component: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 hour

Range: touch

Target: 1 letter or missive

Duration: 1 day/level

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: yes


This spell enchants a letter written by the caster so that anyone who reads it will feel love for and a longing to meet the person who signs the letter at the time of casting, whether the caster or someone chosen by the caster.


Affected readers who fail to save against the spell fall in love with the signer, even if they do not know who that is, and must immediately set out to find the beloved signer. Once with the signer, they are treated as charmed until something breaks the spell. This effect ends the first time a Will save is passed. Will checks are made daily or anytime the signer takes an action against the subject. Any number of readers can be affected while the letter's enchantment lasts. Readers must be literate and understand the language the letter is written in.

The material component for this spell is a romantically worded letter written using a quill made from a Cherub's feather and ink made from the signer's blood and tears mixed with powdered lodestone.

Comments anyone? I know, it doesn't go "bang" or kill huge numbers of monsters, but I think this spell could be incredibly powerful if used correctly. It could easily go out of control and affect a huge number of people, sending them wandering on a quest to meet their "beloved". Just imagine all the trouble it could cause...

What does the 'sexual' keyword do?

I used the BOEF to develop this spell, so if you apply the rules from that book this spell has a sexual component to it...

Its no worse than a mass charm. It seems fine, though I am no judge of which spell level it should be. You may want to include a maximum number of creatures affected.

I misplaced my 3E PH, but the level was based on what I remember about the Symbol spell.  This is essentially a Symbol of Love that has to be signed by a specific person. If you see and read it you get hit with the effect...
