From publisher blurb:
This book looks at some spells that require a little more than just a spell slot. We have some exciting new spells in this first volume of Arcane Imperfections.
Spell list:
Herbert's Alchemical Animation-A way for our king casters to revive the dead with only a few side effects.
Birch Shield-a spell for the woodland folk to be a little more defensive. Unfortunately, the material mattered in this defensive spell.
Curse Consumption-apparently one way to get rid of a curse is to eat it. Though, you are what you eat.
Underdark Worker Initiation-The drow of the Underdark need their workers to see what they are doing and don't care about the side effects.
Litany of the Martyr-Sometimes, helping your friends can be a little painful.
