Burglar's BuddyAbjuration/Illusion (Glamer)Level: Assassin 2, Bard 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 15-ft.-radius emanation centered on a creature, object, or point in space
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: No
This spell suppresses all mechanical or electronic intrusion alarms and alarm sensors in the affected area. Burglar alarms or other intrusion alarms within the affected area simply fail to function; sensors for intrusion alarm systems (such as motion detectors, IR detectors, pressure sensors, electric eyes, and so forth) also fail to function, sending no signal to monitoring stations. Video surveillance devices continue to send whatever image they were photographing the moment when the spell was cast.
The target upon which the emanation is centered is allowed a saving throw upon casting. On a success, the spell is negated.
Objects that are allowed saving throws can make one when they first enter the emanation, the result of which determine whether or not they are affected for the remainder of the casting.

Material Component: A camera lens cover.
DatareadDivinationLevel: Assassin 1, Bard 1, Cleric 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Touched machine-readable data
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You run your finger over any machine-readable data source (a barcode, a computer disk, a CD, magnetic tape, or any similar record) to understand the content of the data. You experience the data as it would normally be experienced through an appropriate machine. For example, if reading a music CD, you hear the music in your head. If reading a word processor file, you visualize and read an image of the page. If reading a barcode, you see the serial number, pricing information, or other barcoded data.
The amount of time required to experience the data is the same as that required to read it by conventional means. You can normally read 2 pages of documents in 1 minute. This spell does not decode encrypted data. Without the encryption code, an encrypted document or file appears as a seemingly random string of characters. If you know the encryption code, however, you can read encrypted data normally with this spell.

Detect CyberneticsDivinationLevel: Artificer 1, Bard 1, Cybernetics 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped emanation
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You can sense the presence of cybernetics. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject. The types of cybernetic effects that this spell detects and the strengths of their auras are indicated on the table below.
Detect cybernetics does not detect cybernetic creatures in and of themselves, but it can detect active modules that activators usually have and systems and other energy receptacles with energy allocated to them.
1st RoundPresence or absence of cybernetic auras.
2nd RoundNumber of cybernetic auras in the area and the strength of the most potent aura present (see the table).
3rd RoundThe strength and location of each aura. If an aura is outside your line of sight, you can discern its direction but not its exact location. You can use the Computer Use and Spellcraft skills to glean more information about the auras you detect. See the skill descriptions for details.
Aura StrengthAn aura’s power depends on an energy receptacle's amount of allocated energy or an item’s activator level. If an aura falls into more than one category,
detect cybernetics indicates the stronger of the two.
Table: Detect Cybernetics Aura Strength
Effect or Object | Aura Power |
| No Aura | Faint | Moderate | Strong | Overwhelming |
| Active module (energy allocation) | Suppressed | 3 or less | 4-6 | 7-9 | 10 or more |
| Cybernetic item (activator level) | Suppressed | 5th or lower | 6th-11th | 12th-20th | 21st or higher |
| Other energy receptacle (energy allocation) | 0 or less | 1-3 | 4-6 | 7-9 | 10 or more |
Lingering AuraA cybernetic aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a module or cybernetic spell) or is destroyed (in the case of a cybernetic item). If
detect cybernetics is cast and directed at such a location, the spell indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power:
Table: Detect Cybernetics Lingering Aura| Original Strength | Duration of Lingering Aura |
| Faint | 1d6 rounds |
| Moderate | 1d6 minutes |
| Strong | 1d6x10 minutes |
| Overwhelming | 1d6 days |
Each round, you can turn to detect cybernetics in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
Detect cybernetics can be made permanent with a
permanency spell, as per the
detect magic spell.

Energy PurgeEvocationLevel: Artificer 1, Assassin 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
By delivering a jolt of magical energy to your target, you momentarily overload his cybernetic devices, causing all energy he has currently allocated (with some exceptions; see below) to return to his energy pool as if the target had set his energy allocation to 0. This doesn't prevent the target from reallocating energy normally on his next turn, but it might make him vulnerable in the meantime. Energy allocated to a System or other receptacle that can't be reallocated by the target as a swift action can't be affected by this spell.

Instead of touching the physical interface, you can just mime the movement in midair. The computer need not have such an interface connected, but it must have appropriate interfaces to use them. If the computer is already in use by another user, the conflicting inputs may make it difficult or impossible to use, but they will not cause it to crash.
Your ability to interact with the computer lasts only as long as you remain within range. While it lets you use an interface input, this spell does not provide any feedback. You must still be able to see a monitor attached to the computer or some other appropriate output device in order to effectively use the computer.
The computer you interface with may be allowed a saving throw to prevent your interaction. Unattended, non-magical, non-psionic, non-sentient objects usually receive no saving throw. This spell has no effect on sentient computers.
