3- Magic

This section provides the rules for casting spells.

What IS A Spell?

A spell is a shaping of magical energies into a specific expression. A spell plucks at invisible strands of raw magic, pins them in a particular pattern, sets them vibrating in a specific way, and releases them to unleash the desired effect. Uncounted spells have been created over the course of history, and many are long forgotten. Some yet lie hidden in crumbling spellbooks in ancient ruins or trapped in the minds of dead gods.

Spell Level

Every spell has a level from 0 to 9 indicating how powerful it is, with magic missile at 1st level and the earth-shaking wish at 9th. Cantrips—simple but powerful spells that can be cast by rote—are level 0.

The higher a spell’s level, the higher level a spellcaster must be to use that spell. Spell level and character level don’t correspond directly. A character has to be at least 17th level, not 9th level, to cast a 9th-level spell.

Known And Prepared Spells

Before a spellcaster can use a spell, he or she must have the spell firmly fixed in mind, or have access to the spell in a magic item. The same thing is true of many magic-using monsters.

In every case, the number of spells a caster can have fixed in mind depends on the character’s level.

Spell Slots

Regardless of how many spells a caster knows or prepares, he or she can cast a limited number of spells before resting. When a character casts a spell, he or she expends a slot of that spell’s level or higher. Finishing a long rest restores any expended spell slots.

Casting a Spell at a Higher Level

When a spellcaster casts a spell using a slot of a higher level than the spell, the spell assumes the higher level for that casting. For instance, casting magic missile using a 2nd-level slot makes that it 2nd level.

Some spells, such as magic missile and cure wounds, have more powerful effects when cast at a higher level, as detailed in a spell’s description.

Cantrips

A cantrip is a spell that can be cast at will, without using a spell slot and without being prepared in advance. A cantrip’s spell level is 0.

Rituals

Certain spells have a special tag: ritual. Such a spell can be cast following the normal rules for spellcasting, or the spell can be cast as a ritual. The ritual version of a spell takes 1 segment [10 minutes] to cast (or longer if the listed casting time is higher). It also doesn’t expend a spell slot, which means the ritual version of a spell can’t be cast at a higher level.

To cast a spell as a ritual, a spellcaster must have a feature that grants the ability to do so.

Priests and wizards, for example, have such a feature. The caster must also have the spell prepared or on his or her list of spells known, unless the character’s ritual feature specifies otherwise, as the Wizard’s does.

The Schools of Magic

Scholars group spells into eight schools. These help describe spells but have no rules of their own. Some rules refer to the schools however.

Abjuration spells are protective in nature.

Conjuration spells involve the transportation of objects and creatures from one location to another. Some conjurations create objects or effects out of nothing.

Divination spells reveal information, Enchantment spells affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behavior.

Evocation spells creates and manipulates magical energy to produce a desired effect.

Illusion spells deceive the senses or minds of others.

Necromancy spells manipulate life and death.

Transmutation spells change the properties of a creature, object, or environment.

Casting a Spell

Each spell description begins with a block of information listing the name, type, school, range and duration of the spell. Those with irregular casting times, components and required material components have suitable entries where applicable.

Range

The target of a spell must be within the spell’s range. For a spell like magic missile, the target is a creature. For a spell like fireball, the target is the point in space where the ball of fire erupts.

Most spells have ranges in feet. Some spells can target only a creature (including you) that you touch. Other spells affect only you.

Spells that create cones or lines of effect that originate from you also have a range of self, indicating that the origin point of the spell’s effect must be you.

Once a spell is cast, its effects aren’t limited by its range, unless the spell’s description says otherwise.

Duration

A spell’s duration is the length of time it persists.

Instantaneous

Instantaneous spells can’t be dispelled, because its magic exists only for an instant.

Concentration

Some spells require concentration to stay active. If you lose concentration, such a spell ends. The spell specifies how long you can keep it going. You can stop concentrating any time (no action). The following factors can break concentration:

• Casting another spell requiring concentration. You can’t concentrate on two spells at once.
• Taking damage while concentrating, requires a Con save to maintain concentration. DC = 10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher. If you take damage from multiple sources, you make a separate saving throw for each source.
• Being incapacitated or killed always causes loss of concentration.

The GM might also decide that certain incidents, such as a wave crashing over you while you’re on a storm-tossed ship, require you to succeed on a DC 10 Con save to maintain concentration.

Casting Time

Unless otherwise noted, it requires an action to cast a spell. Those that require a bonus action, a reaction, or more time have a Casting Time entry listing the time.

Bonus Action

Provided you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cast spells with this casting time.

You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.

Reactions

Some spells can be cast in response to some event. The spell description tells you when you can do so.

Longer Casting Times

When you cast a spell with a longer casting time, you must spend your action each turn casting the spell and maintain concentration while doing so.

If your concentration is broken, the spell fails, but you don’t expend a spell slot.

Trying to cast the spell again means starting over.

Components

Unless otherwise noted, casting a spell requires both a verbal component, the chanting of mystic words, and somatic, component, gestures.

Some spells require only of these components, in which case the required component is listed in a Components entry as Verbal Only or Somatic Only.

A character who is gagged or in an area of magical silence, can’t cast a spell with a verbal component.

A caster must also have free use of at least one hand to be able to cast spells with somatic components.

Material Components

Spells that require particular objects have a Material Components entry, listing the components and cost.

If a spell states that a material component is consumed by the spell, the caster must provide this component for each casting of the spell.

A spellcaster must have a hand free to access a spell’s material components but it can be the same hand that he or she uses to perform somatic components.

Casting in Armor

Because of the mental focus and precise gestures required for spellcasting, you must be proficient with the armor you are wearing to cast a spell, or else be too distracted and physically hampered by your armor for spellcasting.

Targets

A typical spell requires picking one or more targets, either creatures, objects, or a point of origin for an area of effect.

Unless a spell has a perceptible effect, a creature might not know it was targeted by a spell at all.

A Clear Path To The Target

To target something it can’t be behind total cover.

If you set a point of origin behind an an obstruction that you can’t see past (such as a wall), the point comes into being on the near side of the obstruction.

Targeting Yourself

If a spell targets a creature of your choice, you can choose yourself, unless the creature must be hostile or specifically a creature other than you.

If you’re in the area of effect you can target yourself.

Areas of Effect

Area effect spells typically have one of five shapes: Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Line, or Sphere.

Every area of effect has a point of origin, typically a point in space, but some are a creature or object. Effects expand in straight lines from the point of origin, that can only be blocked by total cover.

Cone

A cone extends in your choice of direction from its point of origin and is always as wide as it is long.

It’s area of effect specifies maximum length.

A cone’s point of origin is not included in the area of effect, unless you decide so.

Cube

You select a cube’s point of origin, which lies anywhere on a face of the cubic effect.

A cube’s size is expressed as the length of each side.

A cube’s point of origin is not included in the cube’s area of effect, unless you decide otherwise.

Cylinder

A cylinder’s point of origin is the center of a circle of a particular radius. The point must either be on the ground or at the height of the spell effect.

The energy in a cylinder expands along the base (or top) from the point to the perimeter of the cylinder.

The spell’s effect then shoots up from the base (or down from the top), to a distance equal to its height.

A cylinder’s point of origin is included in the cylinder’s area of effect.

Line

A line extends from its point of origin up to its length and covers an area defined by its width.

A line’s point of origin is not included in the line’s area of effect, unless you decide otherwise.

Sphere

You select a sphere’s point of origin, and it extends outward, as a radius in feet, from that point.

A sphere’s point of origin is included in the sphere’s area of effect.

Saving Throws Many spells specify that a target can make a saving throw to avoid some or all of a spell’s effects. The spell specifies the ability that the target uses for the save and what happens on a success or failure. The DC to resist spells = 8 + spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus + special modifiers.

Attack Rolls

Some spells require the caster to make an attack roll to hit the intended target. Your spell attack bonus = spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus.

Most spells requiring attack rolls are ranged. Remember that you have disadvantage on a ranged attack roll if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature that can see you and isn’t incapacitated.

Combining Magical Effects

The effects of different spells add together while durations overlap. The same spell cast multiple times does not; instead, the most potent effect—such as highest bonus—applies.

      ~~~ Dancing Lights

      Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

      Range: 120 feet

      Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

      You create up to four torch-sized lights, appearing as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs hovering in the air. You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size.

      Each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.

      As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet.

      Each light must be within 20 feet of another and a light winks out if it exceeds the spell’s range.

      ~~~ Guidance

      Priest (Divination)

      Range: Touch

      Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

      Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends.

      ~~~ Light

      Classes Cleric, Magic-User (Evocation)

      Range: Touch

      Duration: 1 hour

      You touch one object no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. The object sheds bright light, colored as you like, in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.

      If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dex saving throw to avoid the spell.

      ~~~ Mage Hand

      Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

      Range: 30 feet

      Duration: 1 minute

      Range: Touch

      Duration: Instantaneous

      This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, or a torn cloak. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, with no trace. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but can’t restore magic to such an object.

      Classes Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

      Range: 120 feet

      Duration: 1 round

      You can cast it through solid objects if you know the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. It can travel freely around corners or through openings.

      Duration: 1 minute

      You create a sound or an image of an object. For sound, volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s, a lion’s roar or any other sound. It can continue unabated, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

      The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

      For creating images—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

    While affected by this spell, the object is more difficult to break or force open; the DC to break it or pick any locks on it increases by 10.

    ~~~ Arcanist’s Magic Aura

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: 24 hours

    You place an illusion on a willing creature or an object not carried or worn by another creature so that divination spells reveal false information about it.

    When you cast the spell, choose one or both of the following effects. If you cast this spell on the same creature or object every day for 30 days, with same effect each time, the illusion lasts until it is dispelled.

    False Aura. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect magical auras. You can make a nonmagical object appear magical, a magical object appear nonmagical, or change the object’s aura so that it appears to belong to a specific school of magic. You can make the false magic apparent to any creature that handles the item.

    Mask. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect creature types, such as the trigger of a symbol spell. You choose a creature type and other spells and magical effects treat the target as if it were a creature of that type or alignment.

    ~~~ Augury

    Classes Cleric (Divination) (Ritual)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: Self

    Duration: Instantaneous

    By employing a divining tool (such as rolling dragon bones or laying out ornate cards), you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The GM chooses from the following possible omens:

    • Weal, for good results
    • Woe, for bad results
    • Weal and woe, for good and bad results
    • Nothing, for results that aren’t really good or bad

    The spell doesn’t take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as casting additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

    If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25% chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The GM makes this roll in secret.

    ~~~ Barkskin

    Classes Druid, Elf (Transmutation)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    You touch a willing creature whose skin gains a rough, bark-like appearance. The target’s AC can’t be less than 16, regardless of what kind of armor it is wearing.

    ~~~ Blindnesss/Deafness

    Classes Cleric, Magic-User (Necromancy)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: 1 minute

    Components: Verbal Only

    Choose one creature you can see to make a Con saving throw. If it fails, it is either blinded or deafened (your choice). At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Con saving throw to end the spell.

    At Higher Levels. You can target one extra creature for each slot level above 2nd.

    ~~~ Blur

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: Self

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Components: Verbal Only

    Your body blurs, shifting and wavering. Any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. Attackers not relying on sight (blindsight), or can see through illusions (truesight), are immune.

    ~~~ Continual Flame

    Classes Cleric, Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Until dispelled

    Material Components: ruby dust worth 50 gp, consumed by the spell)

    A flame, bright as a torch, springs forth from an object you touch. It looks like regular flame, but creates no heat nor uses oxygen. Continual flame can be covered or hidden but not smothered or quenched.

    ~~~ Darkness

    Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere, spreading around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it. If the point is on an object you’re holding or that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Covering the source completely with an opaque object, such as a bowl or helm, blocks the darkness.

    If any of the spell’s area overlaps with an area of light from a 2nd level spell or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

    ~~~ Darkvision

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: 8 hours

    You touch a willing creature to grant it darkvision at a range of 60 feet.

    ~~~ Detect Thoughts

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Divination)

    Range: Self

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Material Components: 1 cp

    You can read other creatures’ thoughts. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn, you can focus on any one creature you can see within 30 feet. If if has an Intelligence of 3 or less or doesn’t speak a language, it is unaffected.

    You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature—what is most on its mind in that moment.

    As an action, you can shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same mind.

    If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wis saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning, its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends.

    Either way, the target knows you are probing its mind, and unless you shift your focus to someone else’s thoughts, it can, as an action on its turn, make an Int check, contested by your Int check, to end the spell.

    Questions directed at the target naturally shape the course of its thoughts, making the spell very effective as part of an interrogation.

    You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When casting the spell or as an action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inch metal or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language.

    Once you detect a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it.

    ~~~ Enlarge/Reduce

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Choose a creature or object neither worn nor carried that you can see. If the target is unwilling, it can make a Con save to resist the effect. If the target is a creature, everything it carries changes size with it.

    Items dropped by the target return to normal size at once.

    Enlarge. The target’s size doubles in all dimensions; its weight multiplies by eight, and its size increases by one category. If there’s not enough room to double its size, the target attains the maximum possible size in the space available.

    The target has advantage on Str checks and Str saves. Its weapons also grow to match its new size. While enlarged, its attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.

    Reduce. The target’s size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal.

    This reduction decreases its size by one category. The target also has disadvantage on Str checks and Str saves. The target’s weapons also shrink to match its new size.

    While these weapons are reduced, the target’s attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (minimum damage is 1).

    ~~~ Enthrall

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Enchantment)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: 1 minute

    You weave a distracting string of words, causing creatures of your choice you can see and that can hear you to make a Wis saving throw. Any creature that can’t be charmed succeeds automatically, and if you or your companions are fighting it, it has advantage on the save. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on Wis (Perception) checks to perceive any creature other than you until the spell ends or it can no longer hear you. The spell ends if you’re incapacitated or can’t speak.

    ~~~ Flaming Sphere

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    A 5-foot-diameter sphere of fire appears in an unoccupied space of your choice. Any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of the sphere takes 2d6 fire damage or half as much on a successful Dex save.

    As a bonus action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet. If you ram the sphere into a creature, it must make the saving throw against the sphere’s damage, and the sphere stops moving this turn.

    When you move the sphere, you can direct it over barriers up to 5 feet tall and jump it across pits up to 10 feet wide. The sphere ignites flammable objects not being worn or carried, and it sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 2nd.

    ~~~ Gust of Wind

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: Self (60-foot line)

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    A line of strong wind 60 feet long and 10 feet wide blasts from you in a direction you choose. Each creature that starts its turn in the line must succeed on a Str save or be pushed 15 feet away from you in a direction following the line.

    Any creature in the line must spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves when moving closer to you.

    The gust disperses gas or vapor, and extinguishes candles, torches, and similar flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish them.

    Choose a manufactured metal object, such as a metal weapon or a suit of metal armor, you can see.

    You cause the object to glow red-hot. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 2d8 fire damage when you cast the spell. You can use a bonus action on your subsequent turns to cause this damage again.

    If a creature is holding or wearing the object and takes the damage from it, it must succeed on a Con saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn’t drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each level above 2nd.

    ~~~ Hold Person

    Classes Elf, Magic-User, Priest (Enchantment)

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    One creature or object you can see of your choice, weighing up to 500 pounds, rises vertically, up to 20 feet, and remains suspended there. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Con save is unaffected.

    The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach, which allows it to move as if it were climbing. You can change its altitude by up to 20 feet on your turn. If you are the target, you can move up or down as part of your move. Otherwise, you can use your action to move the target, which must remain within the spell’s range. If it is still aloft when the spell ends, it floats gently to the ground.

    ~~~ Locate Animals Or Plants

    Alternatively, it can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.

    This spell fails if even a thin sheet of lead blocks a direct path between you and the object.

    Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the spell to deliver your message, which can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the object..

    When that occurs, a magical mouth appears on the object and recites the message in your voice. If the object you chose has a seeming mouth, the words appear to come from the object’s mouth.

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: Self

    Duration: 1 minute

    Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. They move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can use an action to dismiss them. Each time a creature targets you with an attack, roll a d20 to determine if the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.

    If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher.

    A duplicate’s AC equals 10 + Dex modifier. If an attack hits one, it is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.

    Range: 30 feet

    You suggest a course of action (limited to a sentence or two) and influence a creature you can see that can hear and understand you. Creatures immune to charm are unaffected. The suggestion must be worded so as to sound reasonable. Asking to stab oneself or other clearly harmful acts ends the spell.

    The target must make a Wis save. On a failure, it pursues the course of action to the best of its ability. If the suggested activity is completed in a shorter time than the duration, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

    You can specify conditions to trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest a knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets. If the condition isn’t met before the spell expires, the activity isn’t performed. If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.

    ~~~ Web

    Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    You conjure a mass of thick, sticky webbing at a point of your choice. The webs fill a 20-foot cube from that point, are difficult terrain and lightly obscure their area.

Webs layered over a flat surface have a depth of 5 feet.

    Each creature that starts its turn in the webs, or enters them during its turn, must make a Dex save or be restrained as long as it remains in the webs or until it breaks free.

    A restrained creature can use an action to make a Str check against the spell’s DC to end the restraining.

    3rd-Level Spells

    ~~~ Animate Dead

    Classes Cleric, Magic-User/Necromancy

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 10 feet

    Duration: Instantaneous

    This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse.

    On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if it is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one).

    You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a chamber. If you issue no commands, it defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, it continues to follow it until its task is complete.

    The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any commands. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.

    At Higher Levels. You animate or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level above 3rd. Each of the creatures must come from a different corpse or pile of bones.

    ~~~ Bestow Curse

    Classes Cleric, Magic-User (Necromancy)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You touch a creature who must succeed on a Wis saving throw or become cursed. Choose the nature of the curse from these options:

    • Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws with that ability score.
    • While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
    • While cursed, the target must make a Wis saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing.
    • While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.

    A remove curse spell ends this effect. At the GM’s option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than described above. The GM has final say on such a curse’s effect.

    At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a 4th level spell slot, duration is Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes]). If you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, duration is 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, duration is 24 hours. If you use a 9th level spell slot, the spell lasts until dispelled.

    A spell slot of 5th level or higher doesn’t require concentration.

    Range: Self

    Duration: 1 minute

    Roll a d20 at the end of each of your turns. On a roll of 11 or higher, you vanish from your current plane of existence and appear in the Ethereal Plane (the spell fails and the casting is wasted if you were already on that plane). At the start of your next turn, or when the spell ends, if you are on the Ethereal Plane, you return to an unoccupied space of your choice you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from.

    If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near). You can dismiss this spell as an action.

    While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can’t see anything there more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Other creatures can’t perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so.

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    A storm cloud appears as a 10 feet tall cylinder with a 60-foot radiusat a point you can see 100 feet directly above you.

    The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the cloud could appear (for example, a room that can’t hold the cloud).

    When casting, a bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to a point of your choosing that you can see. Each creature within 5 feet of it takes 3d10 lightning damage, or half that on a successful Dex save. On each of your turns, you can use your action to call down lightning in this way again, targeting a point of your choice.

    If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when casting the spell, you gain control of the existing storm instead. In such conditions, damage increases by 1d10.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d10 for each level above 3rd.

    Choose seeing or hearing when casting the spell. The chosen sense works through the sensor as if you were in its space. You can switch between the two senses as an action.

    ~~~ Magic Circle

    Classes Cleric, Magic-User (Abjuration)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 10 feet

    Duration: 1 hour

    Material Components: holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, consumed by the spell.

    You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground you can see. Glowing runes appear where the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.

    Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects the chosen creatures in the following ways:

    • It can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must succeed on a Cha saving throw.
    • It has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
    • Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by it.

    When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.

    ~~~ Major Image

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    You create an image no larger than a 20-foot cube at a spot you can see. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to it.

    Your effects can’t cause damage effects or inflict physical conditions.

    You can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.

    Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Int (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to it.

    At Higher Levels. The spell doesn’t require concentration anymore.

    ~~~ Nondetection

    Classes Magic-User (Abjuration)

    Range: Touch

    You, or a creature you choose, can ride the steed. The steed uses statistics for a riding horse, except it has a speed of 100 feet and can travel 10 miles in an hour, or 13 miles at Fast pace.

    You can ask the corpse up to five questions. It knows only what it knew in life, including languages.

    Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to be truthful if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn’t return the creature’s soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can’t learn new information, doesn’t comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can’t speculate about future events.

    Plants might be able to perform other tasks on your behalf, at the GM’s discretion. The spell doesn’t enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but they can freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks.

    You can communicate with plant creatures as if sharing a language, but gain no ability to influence it.

    You can make plants from the entangle spell release a restrained creature.

    An affected creature’s speed is halved in the area, and when it enters the area for the first time, or starts its turn there, it takes 3d8 radiant damage (if lawful or neutral) or 3d8 necrotic damage (if chaotic). A successful Wis save halves the damage.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.

    ~~~ Stinking Cloud

    Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Range: 90 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of yellow, nauseating gas centered on a point. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured.

Creatures and objects within the dome can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of weather outside.

You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as “Attack that creature,” “Run over there,” or “Fetch that object.”

    If the creature completes the order and doesn’t receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

    As an action, you can take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, it takes only the actions you choose, and doesn’t do anything you don’t allow. You can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this uses your own reaction as well. Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wis saving throw. If successful, the spell ends.

    Duration: Instantaneous

    You convert raw materials into products of the same material. For example, a wooden bridge from a clump of trees, rope from a patch of hemp, and clothes from flax.

    Choose raw materials you can see. You can fabricate a Large or smaller object (contained within a 10-foot cube, or eight connected 5-foot cubes), given sufficient quantities. If you are working with metal, stone, or another mineral substance however, the fabricated object can be no larger than Medium (contained within a single 5-foot cube). The quality of fabricated objects is commensurate with the quality of the raw materials.

    Creatures or magic items can’t be created or transmuted by this spell. You also can’t use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan’s tools to craft such objects.

    ~~~ Giant Insect

    Classes Druid, Elf (Transmutation)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    You transform up to ten centipedes, three spiders, five wasps, or one scorpion into giant versions of themselves. Each creature obeys your verbal commands. In combat, they act on your turn each round.

    A creature remains in its giant size until it drops to 0 hp, or you use an action to dismiss the effect.

    The GM might let you choose other targets. For example, a transformed bee might act as a giant wasp.

    ~~~ Freedom of Movement

    Classes Magic-User, Priest (Abjuration)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: 1 hour

    You touch a willing creaturewhose movement is unaffected by difficult terrain. Spells and other effects can neither reduce the target’s speed nor paralyze or restrain it.

    The target can spend 5 feet of movement to escape automatically from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a grapple. Being underwater imposes no penalties on its movement or attacks.

    ~~~ Greater Invisibility

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    The recipient becomes invisible. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target’s person.

    ~~~ Hallucinatory Terrain

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Casting Time: segment [10 minutes]

    Range: 300 feet

    Duration: 24 hours

    You make natural terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like another natural terrain.

    Open fields can be made to resemble a swamp. A pond can seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully a smooth road. Structures, equipment, and creatures aren’t changed.

    Tactile characteristics remain the same, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn’t obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the illusion can attempt an Int (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.

    ~~~ Ice Storm

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 300 feet

    Duration: Instantaneous

    A hail of rock-hard ice pounds to the ground in a 20-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point.

    Each creature takes 2d8 damage + 4d6 cold damage. A successful Dex saving throws halves all damage. The storm’s area of effect is difficult terrain till the end of your next turn.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

    ~~~ Locate Creature

    Classes Elf, Magic-User, Priest (Divination)

    Range: 1,000 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    Describe or name a creature and sense the direction to its location. If it is moving, you know its direction.

    The spell can locate a specific creature or the nearest creature of a kind (such as human or a unicorn), so long as you have seen such a creature up close at least once.

    This spell fails if running water at least 10 feet wide blocks the path between you and the creature or if the creature is in a different form, such as polymorphed.

    ~~~ Phantasmal Killer

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You tap into the nightmares of a creature you can see and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature.

    The target must make a Wis save or become frightened. At the end of each turn, the target must succeed on a Wis saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d10 for each level above 4th.

    ~~~ Polymorph

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    You transform a creature you can see into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wis saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on shapechangers or creatures with 0 hp.

    The transformation ends if the target drops to 0 hp or dies.

    The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target’s (or level, if it doesn’t have a challenge rating).

    The target’s statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains alignment and personality.

    The target assumes the hp of its new form. When reverting to its normal form, it returns to the number of hp it had before. If it reverts due to dropping to 0 hp, excess damage carries over to its normal form. If the excess damage doesn’t reduce the creature’s normal form to 0 hp, it isn’t knocked unconscious.

    The creature is limited to the actions it can perform by its new form, including speech, spells, or any actions requiring hands or speech.

    The target’s gear melds into the new form. It can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of it.

    ~~~ Private Sanctum

    Classes Magic-User (Abjuration)

    Casting Time: 1 segment [10 minutes]

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: 24 hours

    You make an area magically secure.

    It is a cube that can be as small as 5 feet and as large as 100 feet on each side. You use an action to dismiss it.

    You choose any or all of these properties:

    • Sound can’t pass through the perimeter of the area.
    • The perimeter appears dark and foggy, preventing vision (also darkvision) through it.
    • Divination sensors can’t appear inside the area or pass through its perimeter.
    • Creatures in the area can’t be targeted by divination spells.
    • Nothing can teleport in or out.
    • Planar travel is blocked.

    Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent.

    At Higher Levels. You can increase the size of the cube by 100 feet for each slot level beyond 4th.

    ~~~ Resilient Sphere

    Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    A sphere of shimmering force encloses a creature or object of Large size or smaller. An unwilling creature must make a Dex saving throw to avoid being enclosed.

    Nothing—not objects, energy, or spell effects—can pass through, in or out, though one can breathe. It is immune to all damage, nothing inside can be damaged by attacks or effects from outside, nor can a creature inside damage anything outside it.

    The sphere is weightless and just large enough to contain the creature or object inside. An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere’s walls and thus roll the sphere at up to half the creature’s speed. Similarly, the globe can be picked up and moved by other creatures.

    A disintegrate spell targeting the globe destroys it without harming anything inside ~~~ Secret Chest

    Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: an exquisite chest, 3 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft, constructed from rare materials (5,000+ gp), and a Tiny replica made from the same materials (50+ gp).

    You hide a chest, and all its contents, on the Ethereal Plane. It contains up to 12 cubic feet of nonliving material. While the chest is on the Ethereal Plane, you can use an action to touch the replica to recall the chest into an unoccupied space on the ground within 5 feet of you. You can send it back to the Ethereal Plane as an action, by touching both the chest and the replica.

    After 60 days, there is a cumulative 5% chance per day that the spell ends. This effect ends if you cast this spell again, if the smaller replica is destroyed, or you choose to end the spell as an action. If it ends while the chest is on the Ethereal, it is lost.

    ~~~ Stoneskin

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Abjuration)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    Material Components: diamond dust (100 gp), consumed by the spell

    The flesh of a willing creature turns as hard as stone and has resistance to nonmagical physical damage.

    ~~~ Wall of Fire

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You create a wall of fire on a solid surface. You can make the wall up to 60 feet long, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall is opaque.

    Each creature within its area takes 5d8 fire damage, or half as much on a successful Dex save.

    One side of the wall, selected by you when you cast this spell, deals 5d8 fire damage to each creature that ends its turn within 10 feet of that side or inside the wall. A creature takes the same damage when it enters the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The other side of the wall deals no damage.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

    ~~~

    5th-Level Spells

    ~~~ Animate Objects

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Objects come to life at your command. Choose up to 10 nonmagical objects not worn or carried. Medium targets count as two objects, Large ones as four, and Huge ones as eight. You can’t animate objects larger than Huge. Each target animates as a creature under your control, until reduced to 0 hp or the spell ends.

    As a bonus action, you can mentally command these creatures when within 500 feet of you (you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one).

    You can decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostiles.

    The creatures continue to follow an order until their task is complete.

    Animated Object Statistics

    An animated object is a construct with AC, hp, attacks, Str, and Dex determined by its size. Its Con is 10, its Int and Wis 3, and its Cha 1. Its speed is 30 feet. If the object lacks legs or other appendages for locomotion, it has a flying speed of 30 feet and can hover. If attached to a surface, such as a chain bolted to a wall, its speed is 0. It has blindsight with a radius of 30 feet and is otherwise blind.

    It makes a single melee slam attack against a creature within 5 feet, with attack bonus and damage based on size.

    Higher Levels. You can animate two additional objects for each level above 5th.

    ~~~ Arcane Hand

    Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Material Components: an eggshell and a snakeskin glove.

    You create a Large hand of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space you can see that moves as you wish and mimics the movements of your own hand.

    The hand has AC 20 and hp equal to your hit point maximum. If it drops to 0 hp, the spell ends. It has a Str of 26 (+8) and a Dex of 10 (+0). It doesn’t fill its space. When you cast the spell, and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can move the hand up to 60 feet and cause one of the following effects.

    Clenched Fist. The hand strikes one target within 5 feet. Make a melee spell attack for it. On a hit, it causes 4d8 force damage.

    Forceful Hand. The hand pushes a creature within 5 feet in a direction you choose. Make a check with the hand’s Str contested by the Str (Athletics) check of the target. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the check. If you succeed, it pushes the target up to 30 feet. The hand moves with the target to remain within 5 feet of it.

    Grasping Hand. The hand attempts to grapple a Huge or smaller creature within 5 feet of it. You use the hand’s Str score to resolve the grapple. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the check. While the hand is grappling the target, you can use a bonus action to have the hand crush it, causing damage equal to 2d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

    Interposing Hand. The hand interposes itself between you and a creature you choose until you give a different command. It moves to stay between you and the target, providing you with half cover. The target can’t move through the hand’s space if its Str score is less than or equal to the hand’s Str score. If its Str score is higher it can move toward you through the hand’s space, but that space is difficult terrain for the target.

    At Higher Levels. The damage from the clenched fist increases by 2d8 and the damage from the grasping hand increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Awaken

    Classes Druid, Elf (Transmutation)

    Casting Time: 8 hours

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: an agate (1,000+) gp, consumed by the spell

    After spending the casting time tracing magical pathways within a precious gemstone, you touch a Huge or smaller beast or plant with an Intelligence of 3 or less, giving the target an Intelligence of 10. The target can also speak one language you know. If it is a plant, it gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and gains senses similar to a human’s. Your GM chooses statistics.

    The beast/plant is charmed by you for 30 days or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. Afterwards, it chooses whether to remain friendly, based on how you treated it while it was charmed.

    ~~~ Cloudkill

    Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of poisonous, yellow-green fog on a point you choose. The fog spreads around corners. Its area is heavily obscured. Strong winds can disperse the fog and end the spell.

    When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it takes 5d8 poison damage, or half as much on a successful Con save. Creatures are affected regardless of breathing.

    The fog moves 10 feet away from you at the start of each of your turns, rolling along the surface of the ground. The vapors are heavier than air and sink to the lowest level it can, even pouring down openings.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Commune

    Classes Cleric (Divination) (Ritual)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: Self

    Duration: 1 minute

    You contact your deity or a divine proxy and ask up to three questions that can be answered with a yes or no before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.

    Divine beings aren’t necessarily omniscient, so you might receive “unclear” as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond the deity’s knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, the GM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead.

    If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25% chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer.

    ~~~ Commune With Nature

    Classes Druid, Elf (Divination) (Ritual)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: Self

    Duration: Instantaneous

    You briefly become one with nature and gain knowledge of the land. In the outdoors, the spell gives you knowledge within 3 miles of you. In caves and other underground settings, it is limited to 300 feet. The spell doesn’t work where nature has been replaced by construction, such as dungeons and towns.

    You instantly gain knowledge of up to three facts of your choice about any of the following subjects as they relate to the area:

    • terrain and bodies of water
    • prevalent plants, minerals, animals, or peoples
    • powerful celestials, fey, fiends, elementals, or undead
    • influence from other planes
    • buildings

    ~~~ Cone of Cold

    Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: Self (60-foot cone)

    Duration: Instantaneous

    A blast of cold air erupts from your hands. Everyone in a 60-foot cone take 8d8 cold damage, or half that on a successful Con save. A creature killed by this spell becomes a frozen statue until thawing.

    At Higher Levels. Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Conjure Elemental

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 90 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    You call forth an elemental servant. Choose a 10-foot cube area of air, earth, fire, or water. An elemental of up to challenge rating 5, of the chosen area element appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of it. For example, a fire elemental emerges from a bonfire, and an earth elemental from the ground.

    The elemental disappears if it drops to 0 hp. It is friendly to you and your companions. It obeys any verbal commands you issue (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

    If your concentration is broken, the elemental doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of it, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and might attack. An uncontrolled elemental can’t be dismissed by you, and disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. The GM has the elemental’s statistics.

    At Higher Levels. The challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Contact Other Plane

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Divination) (Ritual)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: Self

    Duration: 1 minute

    You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind.

    When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Int saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand others, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions before the spell ends. The GM answers each question with one word, such as “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” “never,” “irrelevant,” or “unclear” (if the entity doesn’t know the answer). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the GM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.

    ~~~ Creation

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: Special

    Material Components: a tiny piece of matter of the type you plan to create.

    You pull shadow wisps from the shadow realm to create a nonliving object of vegetable matter or mineral such as stone or metal. It must be no larger than a 5-foot cube, and must be of a form and material you have seen before. Duration depends on the material. If it is composed of multiple materials, use the shortest duration.

    Material DurationVegetable matter1 dayStone or crystal12 hoursPrecious metals1 hoursGems10 minutesAdamantine1 minute

    The material created by this spell can’t be used as material components for spells.

    At Higher Levels. The cube increases by 5 ft for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Dispel Supernatural

    Classes Cleric (Abjuration)

    Range: Self

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Shimmering energy surrounds and protects you from fey, undead, and extraplanar creatures, who all have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. Using one of the these special functions ends the spell early:

    Break Enchantment. As an action, you touch a creature charmed, frightened, or possessed by a fey, undead or extraplanar creature to dispel the effect.

    Dismissal. Make a melee spell attack as an action against a fey, undead or extraplanar creature. On a hit, it must succeed on a Cha save or be sent back to its home plane (if not there already). If they aren’t on their home plane, undead are sent to a parallel necrotic plane, and fey to Faerie.

    ~~~ Dominate Person

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Enchantment)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You attempt to beguile a humanoid you can see. It must succeed on a Wis saving throw or be charmed by you. If you or creatures friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

    While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this link to issue commands (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as “Attack that creature,” “Run over there,” or “Fetch that object.” If the creature completes the order and doesn’t receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

    You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn’t do anything you don’t allow it to do. During this time you can cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well. Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wis saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.

    At Higher Levels. When cast using a 6th-level spell slot, the duration is Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes]). When you use a 7th-level spell slot, the duration is Conc. (up to 1 hour). When you use a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

    ~~~ Dream

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: Special

    Duration: 8 hours

    This spell shapes a creature’s dreams. Choose a creature known to you. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don’t sleep, such as elves, can’t be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a messenger. While in trance, the messenger is aware of its surroundings, but can’t take actions or move. If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in its dreams and can converse with it as long as it remains asleep. The messenger can also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early.

    The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking. If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in its dreams.

    You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words and then the target must make a Wis saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the target’s sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit from that rest. In addition, when waking up, it takes 3d6 psychic damage.

    If you have a body part, lock of hair, nail clipping, or similar part of the target’s body, the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage.

    ~~~ Flame Strike

    Classes Cleric (Evocation)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Instantaneous

    A vertical column of divine fire roars down from the heavens in a location you specify. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder takes 4d6 fire damage and 4d6 radiant damage. A successful Dex saving throw halves the damage.

    At Higher Levels. The fire damage or radiant damage (your choice) increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Geas

    Classes Elf, Magic-User, Priest (Enchantment)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: 30 days

    Components: Verbal Only

    You place a magical command on a creature you can see, forcing it to carry out some service or refrain from some action or course of activity as you decide. A creature that can’t understand you is unaffected by the spell. Else, it must succeed on a Wis saving throw or become charmed. While charmed, it takes 5d10 psychic damage each time it acts in a manner directly counter to your instructions, but no more than once each day.

    You can issue any command you choose, short of an activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal command, the spell ends.

    You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss it. A remove curse, greater restoration, or wish spell also ends it.

    At Higher Levels. When cast with a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, duration is 1 year. With a 9th level spell slot, it lasts until ended by one of the spells above.

    ~~~ Greater Restoration

    Priest (Abjuration)

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: diamond dust worth at least 100 gp, consumed by the spell

    You imbue a creature you touch with positive energy to undo a debilitating effect. You can reduce the target’s exhaustion level by one, or end one of the following effects:

    • being charmed or petrified
    • A curse, including attunement to a cursed magic item
    • Any reduction to one of the target’s ability scores
    • One effect reducing the target’s hit point maximum

    ~~~ Hallow

    Classes Cleric (Evocation)

    Casting Time: 24 hours

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Until dispelled

    Material Components: herbs, oils, and incense worth at least 1,000 gp, consumed by the spell

    You touch a point and infuse an area around it with holy (or unholy) power. The area can have a radius up to 60 feet, and the spell fails if the radius includes an area already under the effect of a hallow spell. The affected area is subject to these effects.

    First, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead can’t enter the area, nor can they charm, frighten, or possess anyone within it. Anyone charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature is no longer so upon entering the area. You can exclude one or more of those types of creatures from this effect.

    Second, you can bind an extra effect to the area. Choose the effect from the following list, or an effect offered by the GM. Some of these effects apply to creatures in the area; you can designate whether the effect applies to all creatures, creatures that follow a specific deity or leader, or creatures of a specific sort, such as orcs or trolls. When a creature that would be affected enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it can make a Cha saving throw. On a success, the creature ignores the extra effect until it leaves the area.

    Courage. Affected creatures can’t be frightened while in the area.

    Darkness. Normal light, as well as magical light from spells of a lower level than the slot you used to cast this spell, can’t illuminate the area.

    Daylight. Bright light fills the area. Magical darkness from spells of a lower level than the slot used to cast this spell can’t extinguish the light.

    Energy Protection. Affected creatures in the area have resistance to one non-physical damage type of your choice.

    Energy Vulnerability. Affected creatures in the area have vulnerability to one non-physical damage type of your choice.

    Everlasting Rest. Dead bodies interred in the area can’t be turned into undead.

    Extradimensional Interference. Affected creatures can’t move or travel using teleportation or extra-dimensional/inter-planar means.

    Fear. Affected creatures are frightened while in the area.

    Silence. No sound can emanate from within the area or reach into it.

    Tongues. Affected creatures can communicate with any other creature in the area, even without a common language.

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Enchantment)

    Range: 90 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    Choose a creature you can see, who must succeed on a Wis saving throw or be paralyzed. This spell has no effect on undead. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wis saving throw to end the spell effect on itself.

    At Higher Levels. You can target one additional creature, all within 30 feet of each other, for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Insect Plague

    Classes Magic-User, Priest (Conjuration)

    Range: 300 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    Swarming, biting locusts fill a 20-foot-radius sphere that spreads around corners centered on a point you choose. Its area is lightly obscured and is difficult terrain. Each creature in the area takes 4d10 damage, halved with a successful Con save. A creature must also make this save throw when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

    At Higher Levels. The damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Legend Lore

    Classes Cleric, Elf, Magic-User (Divination)

    Casting Time: 1 segment [10 minutes]

    Range: Self

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: incense worth at least 250 gp, consumed by the spell, and four ivory strips worth at least 50 gp each.

    Name or describe a person, place, or object. A brief summary of the significant lore about it is learned. This might be current tales, forgotten stories, or secrets never widely known. If the target isn’t of legendary importance, you leartn nothing. The more information you already have about it, the more precise and detailed information you receive. This is accurate but may be couched in figurative language.

    ~~~ Mass Cure Wounds

    Classes Priest (Evocation)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Instantaneous

    A wave of healing energy washes out from a point of your choice. Choose up to six creatures in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on that point. Each target regains hp equal to 3d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

    At Higher Levels. The healing increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.

    ~~~ Mislead

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Illusion)

    Range: Self

    Components: Somatic Only

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 hour)

    You become invisible at the same time that an illusory double of you appears where you are standing. The invisibility ends if you attack or cast a spell. Either way, you can use your action to move your illusory double up to twice your speed and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.

    You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were located where it is. You can use a bonus action to switch from using its senses to your own, or back again. While using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.

    ~~~ Modify Memory

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Enchantment)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You attempt to reshape another creature’s memories. One creature you can see must make a Wis save. If you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes charmed and is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and none of its memories are modified.

    While this charm lasts, you can affect the target’s memory of an event it experienced within the last 24 hours that lasted no more than 10 minutes. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and detail, change the details of the event, or create a memory of other events.

    You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and it must be able to understand you for the modified memories to take root. Its mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description. If the spell ends before you finished describing the memories, the memory isn’t altered.

    Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the spell ends.

    A modified memory doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs.

    An illogical memory, such as implanting how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The GM might deem a memory too nonsensical to affect a creature.

    A remove curse or greater restoration spell restores the creature’s true memory.

    At Higher Levels. If cast using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can alter memories that took place up to 7 days ago (6th level), 30 days (7th level), 1 year (8th level), or any time in the creature’s past (9th level).

    ~~~ Passwall

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: 1 hour

    A passage appears at a point of your choice you can see on a wooden, plaster, or stone surface (such as a wall, a ceiling, or a floor). You choose the opening’s dimensions: up to 5 ft wide, 8 ft tall, and 20 ft deep. The structure around the passage remains stable.

    When the opening disappears, any creatures or objects still in the passage are safely ejected to an unoccupied space nearest to the surface you cast the spell on.

    ~~~ Planar Binding

    Classes Magic-User, Priest (Abjuration)

    Casting Time: 1 hour

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: 24 hours

    Material Components: a jewel worth at least 1,000 gp, consumed by the spell

    You attempt to bind a celestial, an elemental, a fey, or a fiend to your service. The creature must be within range for the entire casting of the spell. (Typically, the creature is first summoned into the center of an inverted magic circle in order to keep it trapped while this spell is cast.) At the completion of the casting, the target must make a Cha saving throw. On a failed save, it is bound to serve you. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell’s duration is extended to match the duration of this spell.

    A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of its ability.

    You might command the creature to accompany you on an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to achieve its own objectives. If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there.

    At Higher Levels. When cast with a 6th-level spell slot the duration increases to 10 days, to 30 days with a 7th-level slot, 180 days with an 8th-level slot, and a year and a day with a 9th-level spell slot.

    ~~~ Raise Dead

    Classes Cleric (Necromancy)

    Casting Time: 1 hour

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: a diamond worth at least 500 gp, consumed by the spell

    You return a dead creature to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature’s soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.

    This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. It doesn’t, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren’t first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can’t return an undead creature to life.

    This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn’t restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival—its head, for instance—the spell automatically fails.

    The target takes a 4 penalty to all attack? rolls, saves, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1.

    ~~~ Reincarnate

    Classes Druid, Elf (Transmutation)

    Casting Time: 1 hour

    Range: Touch

    Duration: Instantaneous

    Material Components: rare oils and unguents worth at least 1,000 gp, consumed by the spell

    You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided it has been dead no longer than 10 days, the spell forms a new adult body for it and then calls the soul to enter it. If the target’s soul isn’t free or willing to do so, the spell fails.

    The magic fashions a new body for the creature to inhabit, which likely causes the creature’s race to change.

    The GM rolls a 1d8 (or choose a result) and consults the following table to determine what form the creature takes when restored to life.

    ~~~ Reincarnation

    d8	Race
    1-3	Human
    4	Dwarf
    5	Halfling
    6	Elf
    7	Original Race
    8	Monster (roll below)

    Monster Reincarnation

    d6	Lawful	Neutral	Chaotic
    1	Blink Dog	Satyr	Bugbear
    2	Unicorn	Werebear	Gnoll
    3	Pseudodragon	Centaur	Kobold
    4	Owl, giant	Griffon	Manticore
    5	Pegasus	Lizard Man	Orc
    6	Treant	Sprite

    Troglodyte

    The reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences. It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it exchanges its original race for the new one and changes its racial traits accordingly.

    ~~~ Scrying

    Classes Elf, Magic-User, Priest (Divination)

    Casting Time: 1 segment [10 minutes]

    Range: Self

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    Material Components: a focus worth at least 1,000 gp, such as a crystal ball, a silver mirror, or a font filled with holy water

    You can see and hear a particular creature you choose on the same plane of existence as you. The target must make a Wis saving throw, modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it.

    If a target knows you’re casting this spell, it can fail the save voluntarily if it wants to be observed.

    Knowledge

    Save Secondhand (heard of the target) +5 Firsthand (you’ve met the target) +0 Familiar (you know the target)5? Connection Save Likeness or picture2? Possession or garment4? Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, or the like10?

    On a successful save, the target isn’t affected, and you can’t use this spell against it again for 24 hours. On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, remaining within 10 feet of it. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb the size of your fist.

    Instead of a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before as the target of this spell. When you do, the sensor appears at that location and doesn’t move.

    ~~~ Telekinesis

    Classes Elf, Magic-User (Transmutation)

    Range: 60 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    You gain the ability to move or manipulate creatures or objects by thought. When you cast the spell, and as your action each round. you can exert your will on one creature or object you can see, causing the appropriate effect below. You can affect the same target each round, or choose a new one at any time.

    Creature. You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. Make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by the creature’s Str check. If you win, you move the creature up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward. Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained. On subsequent rounds, you can use your action to attempt to maintain your telekinetic grip on the creature by repeating the contest.

    Object. You can try to move an object that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If the object isn’t worn or carried, you automatically move it up to 30 feet in any direction

    If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by that creature’s Str check. If you succeed, you pull the object away from that creature and can move it up to 30 feet in any direction.

    You can exert fine control on objects with your telekinetic grip, such as manipulating a simple tool, opening a door, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents from a vial.

    ~~~ Telepathic Bond

    Classes Magic-User (Divination) (Ritual)

    Range: 30 feet

    Duration: 1 hour

    You forge a telepathic link among up to 8 willing creatures of your choice, linking each creature to all the others. Creatures with Int scores below 3 aren’t affected.

    Until the spell ends, the targets can communicate telepathically through the bond whether or not they have a common language. The communication is possible over any distance, though it can’t extend to other planes of existence.

    ~~~ Teleportation Circle

    Classes Magic-User (Conjuration)

    Casting Time: 1 minute

    Range: 10 feet

    Duration: 1 round

    Material Components: chalks and inks infused with precious gems worth 50 gp, consumed by the spell

    As you cast the spell, you draw a 10-foot-diameter circle with sigils linking your location to a permanent teleportation circle of your choice whose sigil sequence you know and is on the same plane of existence. A shimmering portal opens within the circle you drew and remains open until the end of your next turn. Any creature that enters the portal instantly appears within 5 feet of the destination circle or in the nearest unoccupied space.

    Many historically important places have permanent teleportation circles inscribed somewhere within their confines. Each such circle includes a unique sigil sequence—a string of magical runes arranged in a particular pattern. You can learn sigil sequences during your adventures. You can commit a new sigil sequence to memory after studying it for 1 minute.

    You can create a permanent teleportation circle by casting this spell in the same location every day for one year. You need not teleport when cast in this way.

    ~~~ Tree Stride

    Classes Druid, Elf (Conjuration)

    Range: Self

    Duration: Conc. (up to 1 minute)

    You gain the ability to enter a tree and move to inside another tree within 500 feet. Both must be alive and at least the same size as you. Entering and leaving a tree uses 5 feet of movement, as does moving to a new tree. You instantly know the location of all other trees within 500 feet and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, can either pass into one of those trees or step out of the tree you’re in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 5 feet of the destination tree. If you have no movement left, you appear within 5 feet of the tree you entered.

    You can use this transportation ability once per round. You must end each turn outside a tree.

    ~~~ Wall of Force

    Classes Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    An invisible wall of force springs into existence at a point you choose. The wall appears in any orientation you choose. It can be float freely or rest on a surface. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 10 ft, or a flat surface made up of ten 10-ft-by-10-ft panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1/4 inch thick. If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice which side).

    Nothing physical or ethereal can pass through the wall. It is immune to all damage and unaffected by dispel magic. A disintegrate spell destroys the wall instantly.

    ~~~ Wall of Stone

    Classes Druid, Elf, Magic-User (Evocation)

    Range: 120 feet

    Duration: Conc. (1 segment [10 minutes])

    A nonmagical wall of solid stone appears at a point you choose. The wall is 6 inches thick and composed of ten contiguous 10-ft-by-10-ft panels or 10-ft-by-20-ft panels only 3 inches thick, as you choose. If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dex saving throw. On a success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.

    The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall doesn’t need to be vertical or rest on any firm foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. Thus, you can use this spell to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.

    If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall to create crenelations, battlements, and so on.

    The wall is an object made of stone that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 15 and 30 hp per inch of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 hp destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM’s discretion.

    If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can’t be dispelled. Else, the wall disappears when the spell ends.
