Your next ranged attack with a ranged weapon is completely silent, and gives no sound when fired. Neither the firing of the weapon, nor the impact of its ammunition causes a sound. Furthermore, if hit, any immediate sound from the target, such as a scream, shout, or the fall of a body, is silenced. This silencing effect ends after the bullet hits.

A ray lashes out from your palm; the ray is colorless, but the air shimmers in its wake, as if in a heat mirage. The ray deals 1d8 points of damage and causes a bleeding wound that causes an additional point of damage each round for a number of rounds equal to your level. The damage is bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing (your choice at the time of casting).

A red ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Dexterity equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels. The subject’s Dexterity score cannot drop below 1.

This spell allows you to load your pistol or crossbow without use of your hands. This spells does not produce ammunition, which must be on your person, and does not speed the time it takes to reload, but it does so without costing you any action to reload the weapon.

Master's touch is a spell often found in the repertoire of adventurers who specialize in casting arcane spells.

This spell summons a tiny spectral bird that keeps a lookout over the warded area. The creatures attempting to sneak through or into the area must beat the bird's Perception check with their Stealth check, or be noticed by the bird. If the bird detects an intruder, it chirps loudly to notify the caster. The bird has Perception check equal to the caster's caster level.

Its Strength score is equal to your casting stat. Its attack roll is d20 + your caster level + its Strength modifier -1 for being Large. It deals damage equal to 1d8 + its Strength modifier.
