In my campaign, there's probably going to be a lot more homebrew weaves, but I wanted to see who else made some up already. If you could post your home made weaves on this thread, you'd be doing me, and a whole lot of people, a big favor. Thanks a lot.

I may be in the gutter
But I'm looking to the stars!
Shatter your rose-colored glasses
But never stop dreaming.
I may have my feet down to earth
But my head is always in the clouds.
I won't promise you the sun and the moon
But I can tell you fantasies of far greater things
While providing you with simple pleasures.

Remember, all d20 stuff is totally interchangeable. If you're stripped for weaves, just steal spells from the DnD PHB. Might be fun meeting Asha'man with magic missile...

If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system. Actually I just hate 3e, its biased me against the system. I rather like WoT.

Not really. Maybe one spell in ten both "feels" reasonable for the WoT universe (a lot of things that are easy with D&D magic are difficult or impossible with the One Power) and isn't a close cousin of an existing weave. A magic missle isn't quite as bad as some others (any summoning or necromancy, just for a start) for being setting-inapproriate, but it's still out there.

Oh I won't say some work isn't necessary, but only at insane levels. Most of the WoT weaves were converted from 3e spells anyway. Some got left out because they didn't have a reasonable counterpart in the books, but most of those should be good. Some come down to nonsense, of course, but if you're paying attention to what your doing there's no trouble.
The standard illusionist saving grace, phatasmal force, now there's a flashy spell that can be converted to WoT by: removing the spell components, and changing every use of the words "magic" and "wizard" to "source" and "caster" real hard, huh?
Also remember any d20 book can be a source. Star Wars, d20 Modern, you name it. If you're real stripped for weaves you can flick through Dragon magazines and see if anything catches your eye.
Now what else.... oh yes, try various video or computer fantasy games, see if there's anything you like that you can steal. You might also get good ideas for Shadowspawn if you're running out of those.
