Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
For a short duration, you imbue the target with fast healing 1. The target recovers 1 hit point per round for the duration of the spell as long as she is not at zero or fewer hit points. At zero or fewer hit point the spell ends. The target cannot regrow or reattach limbs, and the healing is only effective against wounds sustained while the spell is active, not against any damage taken before the spell was cast.
When the duration is passed or the spell ends the subject must make a Fortitude save (DC 12) or take a -1 temporary penalty to Strength.

Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell magically weakens the target and gives some of his strength to the caster. The target suffers a -3 penalty to Strength, and the caster gains a +3 arcane bonus to Strength. The spell cannot reduce the target to a Strength of less than 1; if it would do so, the caster can gain only as many points of Strength as the target loses.
Necrotic Spell Growth
Necromancy
Level: Cha 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched, see text
Duration: Permanent until discharged
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
This spell creates a magical necrotic growth that is capable of discharging the effects of a spell. Only characters with a Constitution score of 10 or more may receive a spell growth. A body can only support a number of spell growths equal to twice the character's Hit Dice. Once created, the spell growth can have one spell cast into it, by yourself or by any other caster (even the target of this spell). Spells with a verbal component cost of one additional spell point to cast into a spell growth.
Spells with the Language-Dependant or Mind-Affecting descriptors can be cast into a spell growth, but unless the bearer of the growth knows how to cast the spell in order to provide the verbal component required for the spell to succeed, the effects produced by the spell growth will have no effect.
The growth manifests at the designated location chosen by the caster and appears as a small blister, pustule, bony protrusion, or tiny fleshy appendage. This does not inconvenience or pain the target of the spell, but it may not be that nice to look at either. As a standard action the bearer of the growth can remove it, thereby activating the spell growth. Upon activation, the spell growth produces the effects of the chosen spell. This happens as though the target used a spell-like ability that mimics the spell cast into the growth, with the removal of the growth serving as both the casting time and the somatic component (a verbal component is not required). The caster level of this effect is determined by the spell cast into the growth.
For example, you could cast this spell on an ally twice, creating two purplish, moist pustules on the back of her right hand. Into one of those pustules you could then cast acid splash by using one of your daily 0-level spells and spending 1 spell point for the spell's verbal component. Into the other you could cast a widened color spray by spending 5 spell points (3 of which are for the application of the Widen Spell metamagic feat). However, if the bearer of the growth doesn't know how to cast color spray, she won't know how to supply the verbal component of this Mind-Affecting spell. If she doesn't successfully complete the verbal component when she activates the spell growth, the cone of color it produces will have no effect on the minds of her targets. Regardless of her level or caster level, the spell effects produced will be at your caster level at the time you filled the spell growths.
