Color Spray

1st level Illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: self
• Components: V, S, M*

A dazzling array of flashing, colored light springs from your hand. Roll 6d10; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell is blinded and incapacitated until the end of your next turn. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d10 for each slot level above 1st.

• Components: V, S, M*
• Duration: Instantaneous

You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any.

You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it. If the object requires attunement, you may attune to it immediately. This spell cannot detect a curse within a magic item.

If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.

Illusory Script

1st level Illusion

You write on parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material and imbue it with a potent illusion that lasts for the duration.

To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing is invisible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know.

Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear.

A creature with truesight can read the hidden message.
