I was a bit peeved when Secrets of the Magister came out, a very cool book IMO, only to switch to 3rd Ed and render it useless before I got to really use it. So, being as anal as I am, I began converting spells from this tome into 3e.

It just occurred to me that maybe some of you might be interested in seeing these conversions. So, as a sample, I'll post one here and if you like it, or are interested in seeing a specific spell converted, I'll do more! I have no life, so I'm more than happy to do this leg-work!

So, without further details of my sad, little world:

Alter Digits
Transmutation
Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)

This spell affects all fingers and toes on any two extremities of the caster. An alter digits enables its caster to temporarily alter the size, hue, shape, and texture of the digits. Thus, they can appear to be scaled, of a different skin hue, or even fewer or greater in number (thus changing the caster’s apparent race or gender), fingerprints can be altered, and reach can be extended (fingers can be made short and stubby, or up to 2 feet in length and as thin as a half inch in diameter). The actual strength of, and number of joints in, such digits is not altered by the spell.
Digits can be made to exude sticky sweat (to pick up keys or other small objects touched by the fingertips, for example) or slippery slime (to make grasping them difficult). The change in shape can, at the option of the Dungeon Master, improve the recipients ability to catch or hold onto things and to climb walls.
An alter digits can be instantly ended at any time prior to spell expiry by the will of the caster, restoring the digits to their former state.

Okay, then, I'll move on over to Running the Realms.

Thanks for the help!

Running the Realms, perhaps. Or D&D Rules over at Worlds of D&D.

Is there a better location for me to post this?

Also, if you're updating (that is, changing it) while also giving the source, then it's fine.

Well, so long as you state where it's coming from, it's usually ok, but if you're gonna be posting large amounts of book-lore, He of the Irate Staff may have something to say about it.

Um, I sure hope this isn't, like, copyright infringement or anything.
