#### The Twisted Branch
*Weapon (trident), rare (requires attunement)*
___
This trident is made from a magically warped limb of a duskwood tree, a smoky grey wood as hard as iron. The trident smells of a swamp. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls  made with this magic weapon. When you make a ranged attack using this weapon, it immediately flies back to your hand.

This weapon can also be planted into an unworked surface (natural stone, soil, sand etc.) as an action to transform the branch into an immobile 30 ft. tall **awakened tree** (MM 317) under your command. This transformation lasts 10 minutes or until the **awakened tree** is reduced to zero hit points at which it returns to its original form still planted in the ground. This trident's property can't be used again until next dawn.

# Reskinned Spells

# New Spells
#### Maximilian's Skeletal Grasp
*1st-level necromancy*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Reskinned Spell:** *Maximilian's Earthen Grasp*
- **Range:** 30 feet
- **Components:** V, S, M (a skeletal finger)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose a 5-foot-square unoccupied space on the ground that you can see within range. A Medium hand made from bone rises there and reaches for one creature you can see within 5 feet of it. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained for the spell’s duration.

As an action, you can cause the hand to crush the restrained target, who must make a Strength saving throw. It takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
To break out, the restrained target can make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target escapes and is no longer restrained by the hand.

As an action, you can cause the hand to reach for a different creature or to move to a different unoccupied space within range. The hand releases a restrained target if you do either.

#### Pull of the Dead
*1st-level necromancy*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Reskinned Spell:** *Ensnaring Strike*
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, M (a pinch of dirt from a grave)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, a cluster of skeletal hands erupt from the ground at the creatures feet, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the skeletal hands until the spell ends. A Large or larger creature has advantage on this saving throw and flying or hovering creatures are unaffected by it if in the air. If the target succeeds on the save, the hands shatter.

While restrained by this spell, the target takes 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature restrained by the hands or one that can touch the creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target is freed.

***At Higher Levels.*** If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot above 1st.
<div style='margin-top:150px;'></div>

#### Word of Rot
*Necromancy cantrip*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Reskinned Spell:** *Word of Radiance*
- **Range:** 5 feet
- **Components:** V, M (a holy symbol)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous

You utter a divine word, and a sickening aura seeps out from you. Each creature of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 necrotic damage.

The spells damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
