Bacchus' Caress
Rego, Mentem, Level 35
Range: Touch. Duration: Sun. Target: Group.
This spell alters the targets' minds, promoting the Estimation at the expense of the other four wits, but not so much so as to overpower them completely as in Mind of the Beast.

Melt Without Heat
Muto, Terram, Level 15
Range: Voice. Duration: Diameter. Target: Individual.
This spell temporarily transforms a volume of metal equal to a single cubic foot (approximately 450 lbs of iron), into sand. The effect expires after only two minutes, but at that time, the metal reforms as useless lump of slag rather than resuming its previous shape.

Day 20.
Shell of Phantom Magic
Creo, Vim, General
Range: Touch. Duration: Moon. Target: Individual.
This spell creates a "shell" of magic around an item so that it appears magical to Intellego spells with a level less than ((Level x 2) – 3 Magnitudes). While the magical signature produced by the shell is completely generic, some Seekers have successfully used the effect as a decoy to lure their rivals away from sites of genuine magical power. Example: The Level 20 version of this spell could foil an Intellego spell of 10th level while the Level 40 version can reliably thwart investigatory magics of up to 50th level.
(Base effect, +1 Touch, +3 Moon)
Day 21.
The Vivacious Purse
Muto, Animal, Level 35

Day 23.
Blessing of Aeolus
Rego, Auram, Level 40
Range: Touch. Duration: Sun. Target: Group.
This spell wards a group of up to 100 individuals from hurricane force winds. Originally developed by an absent-minded magus in the Thebes tribunal to protect his covenant's grogs during that region's periodic typhoons, this spell confers no protection from air-borne debris however so was used only once for its original purpose...

This spell requires a Perception + Finesse roll of 12 or better to produce usable rope with a botch indicating that the rope fails at a critical time.
(Base 5, +1 Touch, +2 Group)
Maybe I'm just real wicked but... that's one heck of a way to bury someone alive!
[i]This spell was commonplace amidst forge-mages for decades before Klypetos ex Tremere darkened its name forever. A continuing conflict between Klypetos’ covenant and a nearby robber-baron, Agremnon of Fyr, had escalated into a series of bloody skirmishes. One such skirmish resulted in the slaying of Klypetos’ apprentice and the mage declared revenge on the entire warband. Klypetos led his troops in a nighttime raid on the brigand’s stronghold and captured the leader of the band. Ordering his grogs to pile the broken and surrendered weapons of the brigands around the leader, Klypetos magically forced the man to dig his own grave. Upon completion, Agremnon was ordered to lay down in the deep pit. Klypetos cast multiple instances of ‘Melt without Heat’ while having his grogs shovel the shifting sands into the pit.
It is rumored that Klypetos had the block of iron transported to his sanctum. [/i]
Agremnon's lover, the princess, was by his side as he descended into the pit. Her exclamation "I love you!" was met by this response, his last words:
"I know."
Why Base 5? Shouldn't it be Base 2, as in Eyes of the cat (change the target to give him a minor ability -- in this case improved alerness while sleeping)?
Why Part? Shouldn't it be Individual (again, as in Eyes of the cat)?
Nothing wrong with Moon, perse*; however, it seems Sun would be more practical. With Moon duration you are stuck with it for weeks, which may be inconvenient if you have to interact with mundanes. With Sun duration you cast it when you go to sleep and, come morning, you are "normal" again.
Summarizing, I'd make it a level 5 spell: Base 2, +1 Touch, +2 Sun +0 Ind.
I was using a specialized, and retrospectively unnecessary, guideline from MoH (Hugh's chapter) which requires that the target be "Part". Your design would probably work too though...
You can actually get the same effect without the 3rd eye, so I would argue it is cosmetic effect only. A bad thing to have, in fact, since you look just weird/demonic to most onlookers and it can be argued that you lose your extra perception if it is covered
Unseen Flames
Perdo, Ignem, Level 30
Range: Voice. Duration: Sun. Target: Individual.
This spell destroys the light produced by the designated fire. Designed to allow grogs to camp undetected while harvesting Vis, difficulties associated with fuelling the fire in the dark mean that the spell is now used almost exclusively to affect magical flames.
(Base 10, +2 Voice, +2 Sun)
Day 27.
Incantation of Ridiculous Extravagence
Muto, Imaginem, Level 4
Range: Touch. Duration: Sun. Target: Individual.
This spell causes an article of clothing to appear more impressive without altering the caster's own appearance. The spell was originally developed by Kynarion, a Tytalus magi from the Thebes tribunal who devoted himself to the philosophy of Diogenes and reluctantly utilized the effect on his urine-soaked rags while attending Grand Tribunal in 1129.
(Base 1, +1 Touch, +2 Sun)
