D&D Context[]
- Teleport is a spell that instantly transports the caster to a designated destination, on the same plane. The spell has a number of limitations, by RAW, but some of them aren't as severe in the OoTS version. Still, there is a risk of arriving off target, which the Greater variation removes.
- Finger of Death allows the caster to slay any one living creature within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). The target is entitled to a Fortitude saving throw to survive the attack. If the save is successful, the creature instead takes 3d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +25). Even if the saving throw is successful, the target might die from the damage.
- Death Ward renders the subject immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any negative energy effects. The spell doesn’t remove negative levels that the subject has already gained, nor does it affect the saving throw necessary 24 hours after gaining a negative level. Death Ward does not protect against other sorts of attacks even if those attacks might be lethal.
- Dispel Magic is a spell that can be used to end ongoing spells that have been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the magical abilities of a magic item, to end ongoing spells (or at least their effects) within an area, or to counter another spellcaster’s spell. A dispelled spell ends as if its duration had expired.
