Dweomerflow
Dweomerflow was an alteration spell used in the creation of magical items.
Dweomerflow is not a common spell and is generally protected by those with the knowledge of it. It is a great spell for crafting in some places as it allows one to funnel their spell magic into Focal Stones or other items as well as transfer charges from items. It is considered banned magic in some places without proper permission of the local government. For non-Wizards it would often take one to learn the spell exists and then find someone who can impart some knowledge of the spell, this would make it available to their list as well.
Effect
This spell had three different effects, depending on the caster's target:
If dweomerflow was cast on a wizard or mage, it caused the next spell they cast to have no effect and rather flow into a prepared item, set as a magical receptacle. Examples of these included focal stones, Crystal balls, artifacts or magical devices that required recharging. It created a resonating field between the caster and the item, allowing the magic to flow from one to the other.
If the spell was cast on an item, it allowed the caster to share charges or stored spells from that item to another, using their own body as a conduit. The caster was required to have physical contact between both items during this process.
The third one is a way of transferring the power of magic into an item that requires such charges to operate, when used this way it can be casted at any level that is required by the item. (ex. the airship of the Menagerie can use this to power the flying ability - which actually requires it to be cast at 4th level, then cast fly, and then cast dweomerflow at the level you want to use for the flight).
Divine Use
A fountain of holy water, consecrated altar or similar divine site could store a dozen or so spells that had been accompanied by a casting of dweomerflow. They could then have been gradually released by someone of the same faith to which the site was sanctified. More powerful spells required a casting of abeyance in addition to dweomerflow. Many holy sites scattered across Faerûn were well-protected by powerful offensive spells that were released if they were intruded upon by the faithless. This magic was often stored within a holy symbol that was doubtlessly present at the divine location. To bypass these spell effects, a Cold Iron tool could be used to remove the symbol, circumventing the effects of dweomerflow.Dweomerflow

Applied Restriction
This spell is like any other arcane spell for a wizard or cleric, if they are aware of the spell and their deity is willing. If another caster learns the spell they can use it like any other spell in their repetoire, so it can replace one for those with limited spells available, or an option for those who can periodically change their spell lineup.
