Epic Spells
On SPL, the epic spell system has been expanded significantly to better portray the diversity of magic above the 9th circle and give casters something to work towards in their epic levels.
Epic Spells are no longer obtained by taking the corresponding feat from the epic feat selection and instead are gained through Epic Spell Tomes. For a character to learn an epic spell they must have at least 21 base caster levels (Practiced Spellcaster does not count for this!) and they must meet a Spellcraft Requirement based on the character's unmodified spellcraft.
Epic Spell Tomes are generally obtained in two different ways - a completed artifact (pieces 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4) may be exchanged or a character may undertake a personalized DM quest to obtain the Spell Tome. Additionally, all Epic Spells need 'Spell Seeds' to be learned - if an artifact is exchanged then any required Seeds are automatically granted as well; if the Tome is obtained through DM questing, it is possible additional questing may be required for the Seeds.
Below is a list of the Epic Spells that can be obtained in SPL.

The bane of all casters and their ilk is held within this single spell. It makes you virtually impenetrable by all spells, thus giving you immunity to magic, for a short period of time. It does not stop the flow of magic, but grants upon you ability to manipulate it to stop all harmful effects directed toward you. This does come at a cost however. You forfeit almost all of your endurance in the form of constitution in exchange for spell immunity while the spell is in effect. IE: Your constitution is dropped to 3.

If he or she fails this saving throw, he or she is sent straight to a layer of a lower planar plane swarming with fiends. The subject will not willingly leave the plane for 20 hours, believing that his or her predicament is a just reward for an ill-spent life. Even after the compulsion fades, he or she must devise his or her own escape from the plane. The subject encounters a group of 1d4 pit fiends or balors every hour he or she spends in hell.
