Sorcerer

Golden eyes flashing, a human stretches out her hand and unleashes the dragonfire that burns in her veins. As an inferno rages around her foes, leathery wings spread from her back and she takes to the air.

Long hair whipped by a conjured wind, a half-elf spreads his arms wide and throws his head back. Lifting him momentarily off the ground, a wave of magic surges up in him, through him, and out from him in a mighty blast of lightning.

Crouching behind a stalagmite, a halfling points a finger at a charging troglodyte. A blast of fire springs from her finger to strike the creature. She ducks back behind the rock formation with a grin, unaware that her wild magic has turned her skin bright blue.

Sorcerers carry a magical birthright conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, some otherworldly influence, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. One can't study sorcery as one learns a language, any more than one can learn to live a legendary life. No one chooses sorcery; the power chooses the sorcerer.

Class Features

As a sorcerer, you gain the following class features.

Spellcasting Ability

Charimsa is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Sorcerous Arcanum

At 11th level, your innate sorcerous power manifests as a Sorcerous Arcanum, a powerful arcane spell. Choose one 6th-level spell from the sorcerer spell list as this arcanum. It does not count against your number of Spells Known.

You can cast your arcanum spell once, without expending sorcery points, and you regain all uses of your Sorcerous Arcanum when you finish a long rest.

At higher levels, you gain more spells that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level.

When you cast your Sorcerous Arcanum spells you can apply a Expression you know to the spell as long as the spell is eligible. At the end of a long rest you can replace one of your Sorcerous Arcanum spells with a spell of the same level from the sorcerer spell list.

Sorcerous Actualization

At 20th level, your ability to freely manipulate magic goes unparalleled. You gain the following benefits:

• You regain 10 expended sorcery points whenever you finish a short rest.

• Your Expression options all have their sorcery point cost reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1).

• You can apply any number of Expression options to a spell, as long as you have the sorcery points to do so.

Mystical Expressions

Listed below are the Expression available to a sorcerer. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the mystical expressions you know and replace it with another of your choice that you meet the prerequisites for.

You can only apply one expression to each spell you cast, unless the expression itself says otherwise.

Stable Spell

When a spell you cast would affected by counterspell or dispel magic, you may spend 2 sorcery points as a reaction to impose disadvantage on the check made by those spells. If your spell would be countered or dispelled without a roll, you instead force the roll to occur.

You may use this Expression option even if you have used another on the same spell.

Distant Spell

When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the range of the spell.

When you cast a spell that has a range of touch or self, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.

Empowered Spell

When you roll damage for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage die up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). You can choose the higher of the rolls.

You can use Empowered Spell even if you have already used a different Expression option during the casting of the spell.

Enduring Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 2 sorcery points to reinforce it. The first time you fail a saving throw to keep your concentration on the spell, you do not lose concentration.

Extended Spell

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 10 minutes.

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 10 minutes, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 1 hour.

When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 hour, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the duration to 8 hours.

Heightened Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 2 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Piercing Sorcery

When you deal damage with a sorcerer spell or sorcerer class feature, you can spend 1 sorcery point to ignore resistance to the damage dealt.

You can use Piercing Sorcery even if you have already used a different Expression option during the casting of the spell.

Quickened Spell

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip).

To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level. For example, magic missile and scorching ray aren't eligible, but ray of frost and chromatic orb are.

Dynamic Presence

Your power manifests through your personality. You gain proficiency in either Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion. If you are already proficient in that skill, you gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the sorcerer skill list. Whenever you make an ability check with that skill, you can spend 1 sorcery point to grant yourself advantage on the roll.

You can select this manifestation more than once, but you must select a different skill proficiency each time.

Imbuing Touch

As a bonus action, you can touch one non-magical weapon and spend 1 sorcery point to imbue it with magic for 1 minute. For the duration, the weapon is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to non-magical attacks. The weapon does not count as magical for the purposes of spells such as magic weapon, or elemental weapon.

Sorcerous Fortitude

As an action, you can spend any number of sorcery points to reinforce your defences. Roll a d6 for each point expended. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the result.

Adjacent Spell

When you cast a spell that requires you to make a ranged spell attack while there is an enemy creature within 5 feet of you, you can spend 1 additional sorcery point to make your ranged spell attack without disadvantage.

Empowered Cantrip

When you cast a sorcerer cantrip you can expend 1 sorcery point to increase the power of that cantrip. For example, if you are a 1st level sorcerer, you can expend 1 sorcery point to cast firebolt as if you were a 5th level sorcerer.

Misdirected Spell

When you cast a spell that originates from you, you can expend 3 additional sorcery points to cause the spell to appear as if it had originated from a point of your choice within 30 feet of you that you can see.

Sorcerous Origins

Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Draconic Presence

At 18th level, you can exude the fearsome power of a true dragon. As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points to emanate an aura of awe or fear (your choice) in a 60-foot radius. For 1 minute, hostile creatures that start their turn within the aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (awe) or frightened (fear) until the aura ends. On a success, creatures are immune to this aura for 24 hours.

Additionally, you gain immunity to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestor.

Raw Magic

You are capable of tapping directly into the source of arcane magic. Your magic is unfiltered, powerful, and hard to control, capable of both increased power and unpredictable side effects. You might have been born with this innate capability, or perhaps an encounter with powerful magic has imbued you with these chaotic abilities.

Godtouched

The gods are beings of immense power, but yet, they are distant, refraining from directly meddling in the affairs of mortals. Instead, they invest mortal agents with their powers to carry out their will upon the material plane. A Godtouched is one such agent, imbued with divine power by the gods to complete a specific quest. You might have been godtouched at birth, or through some divine revelation later in life. Your magic is divine, your very being carrying a spark of the gods’ own power within it. Unlike other agents of the gods, you require no faith and no ritual to channel their might.

The gods have vested you with a purpose, a fate, a destiny to fulfill. It may be a legendary prophecy, or an enigmatic quest that you yourself do not know the extent of. You may receive celestial visions or messages concerning your destiny, and dark forces are almost assuredly working to stop it.

Arcane Scion

You are the descendant of an arcanist of great renown, a specialist in one of the eight schools of magic, whose mastery was so complete that their very blood was imbued by magic. Whether this ancestor was many generations past, or your own parent, their arcane mastery has again manifested in you, giving you an innate access to magic that others would have to study and learn. You have a particular affinity for your ancestor's favorite school of magic, and are able to wield it to great effect.

Stoneblood

You are a stoneblood sorcerer, a mortal who has been imbued with a mote of pure elemental earth. You are suffused with the stalwart power of pure stone, making you as immovable and unyielding as the mountains. Were you gifted this power by an ancient earth elemental, barter for it with the greedy Dao, or are you descended from one of the original Dwarven fathers, molded from the bedrock of the world itself?

The earthen power within drives you to remain steadfast in your decisions, unyielding in your beliefs, and subtly drives you to hoard the fruits of the earth; precious gems and alloys.

Stone Forming

transmutation cantrip

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous.

You touch a stone surface or the ground, and call forth stone that shapes itself to your command. You can make any roughly shaped item from the stone, including functional simple or martial melee weapons. You are proficient with these weapons. Items crumble to pebbles after 1 minute.

Heavy Blow

1st-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.

You impart great heft to a weapon you are holding. The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack with that weapon during the spell's duration, your blow strikes with great force, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 bludgeoning damage to the target and must succeed a Constitution saving throw, or become stunned until the start of its next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd. When cast with a spell slot of 4th level or higher, a target that fails the constitution saving throw is stunned until the end of its next turn.

Earth Ripple

2nd-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a cracked pebble)
• Duration: Instantaneous.

You cause the earth to deform and ripple, a target creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or suffer one of the following effects of your choice:

• It is pulled into the earth, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage and have their movement speed reduced to zero until it or another creature spends an action to dig them free.
• It is slammed in a direction of your choice, taking 2d8 bludgeoning damage, being moved 5 feet, and knocked prone.
• It is impaled by a spike of rock, taking 4d8 piercing damage.

Orbital Stones

4th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 Minute.

You lift three small to medium rocks or similar objects from within 10 feet of you, causing them defy to gravity and slowly circle you. While all three are in orbit around you, you have total cover against ranged attacks. While two are in orbit, you have three quarters cover, and while only one remains, you have half cover. The spell ends when none of them are orbiting you.

As a bonus action while at least one object remains in orbit, you can magically fling it at target within 60 feet. Make a ranged spell attack roll. On hit, the target takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage and is knocked 5 feet directly away from you.

Xorn Movement

5th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a scale from a xorn's hide)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You or a creature you touch can travel through the earth itself without leaving any mark of passage. The target gains a burrow speed equal to its walking speed. In addition, when burrowing through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone, the target leaves its hands free and doesn't disturb the material it moves through. The recipient can extend the magical aura of this spell to bring any object or creature it is carrying or grappling as it burrows. The target enjoys no special protections from this effect except for the cover of the stone or earth around it.

If this spell or its effects end on the target or any other object or creature placed within stone or earth by means of this spell, you or any such object or creature are expelled from the earth, moving at 60 feet per round toward the nearest open space large enough to fit into comfortably and taking 6d6 bludgeoning damage upon exiting into that space.

Entomb

6th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a chip of granite)
• Duration: 8 hours

You cause slabs of rock to burst out of the ground or another stone surface to form a 10-foot cube within range. When the cube forms, a creature inside must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be trapped in the stone tomb. The tomb is airtight, with enough air for a single Medium or Small creature to breathe for 8 hours. Divide the time evenly between the number of creatures trapped within. A Large creature counts as four Medium creatures. If the creature is still trapped inside when the air runs out, it begins to suffocate.

The tomb has an AC 18 and 50 hit points. It is resistant to fire, cold, lightning, bludgeoning, and slashing damage, is immune to poison and psychic damage, and is vulnerable to thunder damage. When reduced to 0 hit points, the tomb crumbles into harmless powder.

Fault Line

6th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

This spell thrusts the ground sharply upward along a 60-foot line that you designate. All spaces affected by the spell become difficult terrain. In addition, all creatures in an affected space are knocked prone and take 10d6 bludgeoning damage. Creatures that make a successful Dexterity saving throw take half damage and are not knocked prone. This spell doesn't damage permanent structures.

Greater Stone Shape

7th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (soft clay, which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the object)
• Duration: Instantaneous

This spell functions like stone shape, but you may shape a stone object of Huge size or smaller. The stone object you touch can be up to 15 feet in any dimension. You can also mold intricate detail into your creation, such as a stone set of double doors carved with intricate designs and up to four hinges.

Storm Guide

Your affinity for the winds allows you to exert control over the weather around you. Starting at 6th level, you can control existing weather conditions in the following ways:

• If it is raining, as an action, you can stop the rain from falling in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action on your turn.

• If it is windy, as a bonus action, you can change the direction the wind blows within a 100-foot radius sphere centered on you. The wind blows in the direction you choose until the end of your next turn.

Windcaller

Beginning at 14th level, your power over the wind allows you to fly. You gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed.

In addition, you can expend 9 sorcery points to cast the wind walk spell, which counts as a sorcerer spell for you.

Primordial Soul

The storm within you has made you more elemental than mortal. Starting at 18th level, you do not need to eat, drink, or sleep, and you are immune to lightning and thunder damage.

In addition, when you take damage from a creature within 60 feet that you can see, you can use your reaction to rebuke them with elemental air. The attacking creature must make a Dexterity saving throw, and on a failed save they take lighting or thunder damage (your choice) equal to your sorcerer level.

Wintry Ascendant

An old legend speaks of an ancient queen so hard-hearted and cold that her very heart turned to ice, her touch was frigid, and her mind as unstoppable as a glacier. Her beautiful and terrible power has come to fruition within you. Perhaps you came in contact with a magical relic from the deep north that once belonged to her, or you are a long forsaken descendant of this old monarch. Will you one day take up the throne of the old queen? Or does it mean nothing to you, and you'll forge your own path of ambition?

Regardless of your destiny, wintry ascendants are cold in both soul and body. Consider how this has been beneficial or detrimental to your relationships in the past and how it may yet affect you. It could lead to having stilted relations with others, or pragmatic, business-like ones.

Sorcerous Blizzard

Starting at 6th level, when you or a willing creature casts a spell within your Cutting Northern Wind that deals a damage type other than cold, you can change it to cold damage with 1 sorcery point.

When you or a willing creature within your Cutting Northern Wind deals cold damage to creature with a spell of 1st level or higher, your Cutting Northern Wind expands by 15 feet until the start of your next turn. At 18th level, it expands by 30 feet.

Permafrost

At 14th level, you gain immunity to cold damage, cold damage you deal ignores resistance, and as a reaction when you or a creature within your Cutting Northern Wind are hit by an attack or fail a Dexterity saving throw, you can reduce the damage taken by half your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

Snow Castle

Beginning at 14th level, over the course of one minute, you can choose an area of ice no larger than 150 feet on a side within 600 feet of you, or you can freeze an area of water of that size. You can reshape the ice in the area in any manner you choose. You can raise or lower the ice's elevation, create or fill in a trench, erect or flatten a wall, or form a pillar. The extent of any such changes can't exceed half the area's largest dimension. For example, if you affect a 150 foot square, you can create a pillar up to 75 feet high, raise or lower the square's elevation by up to 75 feet, and so on. You can't shape the ice to damage a creature in the area, but you can shape it to trap them. Each 5 foot section of the ice has an AC and hitpoints equal to your sorcerer level.

Additionally, you can designate one structure of your choice that you have created and shaped with this feature as your Snow Castle. Doing so makes the surrounding landscape in a 10 mile radius change to winter over the course of one month, and your Cutting Northern Wind extends to the entire 10 mile radius of the Snow Castle. You can't designate a structure as your Snow Castle again for 7 days, and once you do, the previous one melts.

Winter's Regal Armor

Starting at 18th level, you have gained a frozen heart and can don the attire of a winter monarch. You can spend 5 sorcery points as an action to don Winter's Regal Armor. Its appearance is up to you, it replaces or goes over your present clothes, and only you can wear it. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to all damage.
• Creatures who deal damage to you with a melee attack take your sorcerer level in cold damage.
• Cold damage you deal treats immunity as resistance.
• Creatures you kill with cold damage become petrified and stand as statues or shatter (your choice). They can only be returned to life by true resurrection and if you die.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Pillars of Winter

3rd-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You cause moisture in the air to condense into up to 2 icy pillars within range, or 3 if you are in a snowstorm. Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 15 feet, and they conjured floating 15 feet above the ground.

At the start of your next turn, the pillars fall to the ground. If a pillar falls onto a Medium or smaller creature, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it takes 2d6 cold and 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained, pinched between the pillar and the ground. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and must move 5 feet in any horizontal direction or fail the save automatically. A restrained creature who could move 5 feet can make a Strength or Dexterity check (their choice) as an action against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must move from under the pillar.

Once the pillars fall, you can use your bonus action to cause one or more of the pillars to shatter. Each creature within 5 feet of the shattered pillar must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 cold and 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. After the damage is dealt, a creature restrained by the pillar is no longer restrained.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its full duration, the pillars become permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, they fade when the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you create one additional pillar for every spell slot above 3rd.

Ice Shield

2nd-level abjuration

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you fail a Dexterity or Constitution saving throw that deals damage
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

A shield of ice coalesces to protect you from oncoming danger. Until the start of your next turn, you gain 2d6+6 temporary hitpoints, which can be lost by the triggering effect.

Freeze

3rd level evocation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You grasp the flesh or armaments of a creature and disperse their heat to the air, freezing them. They must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are paralyzed. At the end of its next turn, it must make another Constitution saving throw, and it does so with advantage if it is Large or bigger. The spell ends on a success, but on a failure, they are petrified, turned to ice. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

If the spell lasts for its entire duration and the creature failed every save, it is permanently turned to ice.

Mass Freeze

5th-level evocation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose up to 6 creatures within range who must each make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are paralyzed. At the end of their next turn, they must make another Constitution saving throw, and they do so with advantage if they are Large or bigger. The spell ends on a success, but on a failure, they are petrified, turned to ice. The creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

If the spell lasts for its entire duration for a creature that failed every save, it is permanently turned to ice.

Crown of Ice

4th level abjuration

• Classes: None
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You don a crown of ice, marking your connection to an ancient ice monarch. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets you with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, their speed is reduced to 0 and they become prone before they make their attack or cast the spell, and you gain advantage on any saving throw you must make against the attack or spell. Once a creature succeeds on the saving throw against this spell, they are immune to it for its duration.

Abyssal Legacy

The Infinite Layers of the Abyss are realms of chaos and evil incarnate, every layer populated by demons - horrifying extensions of the plane's power that exist only to kill and destroy, and each one more hostile and violent than the last. Your innate magic stems from the chaotic, churning energies of this plane, a terrible force that grants you great capacity for destruction and corruption. Some sorcerers of this origin can trace their powers back to extensive exposure to Abyssal corruption, or perhaps due to influence on their lineage from demonic forces, while others may have wrested their capabilities from a subdued demon in a dark ritual, tearing away its power and infusing it into themselves.

No matter the method of acquisition, those who wield the powers of Abyss tread a dangerous path, for their very blood yearns to be used in pursuit of devastation. A strong will is required to keep these compulsions in check, and those who succumb to them can be just as cruel and malevolent as a demon - or worse.

Reality Breach

At 18th level, you have attained true mastery over your demonic blood and can rend wide reality itself, creating a gateway to the chaotic and destructive forces of the Abyss. As an action, you can spend 8 sorcery points to tear open an abyssal breach in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you, which persists for 1 hour or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of the breach as it opens must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 16d12 force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. A chosen creature must also make this saving throw whenever it comes within 30 feet of the breach or starts its turn there.

Additionally, if you expend 7 sorcery points when tearing open the breach, you can cast summon greater demon. Demons summoned by this spell are fiercely loyal to you, obey your every command, are treated as allies, and have a bonus to their hit points equal to your sorcerer level.

If you maintain concentration on the breach for its whole duration, it stabilizes, no longer dealing damage and becoming dormant for 1 month, when it can be closed if you use your action to do so. After 1 month, it becomes a 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide stable portal, serving as a gateway between a random layer of the Abyss (determined by the DM) and the plane on which this feature was originally used. The presence of such a breach is anathema to natural life, killing and withering all plants within a mile radius. The breach remains until you die or if it is forcibly closed by the will of a demon lord of enough power (DM discretion).

Additional Spells

Shadow Magic

You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it.

The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Shadow Sorcerer Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

Inflict Pain

1st-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a creature, inflicting them with negative energy and racking them with excruciating pain. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d10 necrotic damage and become incapacitated with pain until the start of your next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.

Aura of Shade

2nd-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a deep black stone)
• Duration: 1 minute

You create a 15-foot radius sphere of shadow magic centered on a point within range. The area appears to be wreathed in swirling shadows and darkness, and is easily identifiable when it is in an area of bright or dim light. The sphere spreads around corners, and each creature that ends their turn within the area becomes invisible. This invisibility ends for a creature if they attack, cast a spell, or leave the area. Anything they are wearing or carrying is also invisible as long as they are.

Clinging Shadows

2nd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (bat fur)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose an area of dim light or darkness that you can see within range and that fits within a 20-foot cube. Each creature within the area must succeed on Strength saving throw or be restrained by shadows until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the shadows can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Until the spell ends, you can use an action on each of your turns to cause a tendril of shadow to reach out and grab a creature within 15 feet of the area. The creature must repeat the saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is pulled into the area and becomes restrained.

If the area becomes bathed in bright light, the spell has no effect until the bright light fades.

Flicker

3rd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (displacer beast fur)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Your body begins to flicker in and out of existence as shadow magic envelops you. For the duration of the spell, you can use your bonus action to teleport 5 feet. Additionally, when you are targeted by an attack you can use your reaction to attempt to teleport out of harm's way. Roll a d20. On a roll of 11 or higher, the attack automatically misses, and you teleport 5 feet. Otherwise, the attack is made as normal and you teleport 5 feet shortly after.

Rend Shadows

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Choose up to 4 creatures within range. Each creature has their shadow forcibly ripped from their body, conjuring a Shadow (Monster Manual pg. 269) in an unoccupied space next to them. As long as the shadow is separate from their body, they do not cast a shadow. A shadow created through this spell reforms with its host when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends, and it disappears if its host dies. If its host dies, a new shadow does not rise from the corpse.

The shadows seek only to attack the creature they were separated from, and disappear when that creature is killed. Roll initiative for the shadows as a group, which has its own turns. They spend their turns attacking their host, without any thought for strategy or tactics.

The DM has the creature's statistics.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher level spell slots, you can target more creatures: twice as many with a 6th-level slot and three times as many with an 8th-level slot.

Shadow Stride

5th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self

Fey Magic

Every so often, a mortal catches the attention of a powerful lord or lady of the Fey. Often the object of affection or the offspring of this relationship is gifted arcane power beyond that of most mortal beings. However, these infatuations are often short-lived, and the mortals are left to learn to use their power with little supervision or instruction. Weather you were born of such a relationship, grew up near a Crossroads, or were chosen by a powerful Fey creature, you have been blessed with the changing and chaotic power of the Feywild.

Ocean Heritage

Within you dwells a drop of pure elemental water, connecting you to the deep oceans, babbling brooks, and frigid waters of frozen lakes. How did you gain this power over the elemental waters? Did you inexplicably survive a shipwreck, awakening in the debt of a noble Marid, or did you drink from a stream flowing from the plane of water, awakening your power?

The lapping of waves, the spray of sea foam on the wind, the ocean depths, all of these call to you. Do you embody the life-giving properties of the gentle rain, or do you wield the overwhelming destruction of the great waves and floods?

Shifting Form

The elemental water within allows you to move like flowing water. Starting at 14th level, you gain the following benefits:

• You are resistant to damage from opportunity attacks.
• You can move through enemy creature's spaces, but you cannot end your turn in an enemy creature's space.
• You can squeeze through gaps as narrow as 1 inch.
• You can take the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn while you are using your swimming speed.

Primordial Waters

Upon reaching 18th level, your body is permanently altered by the elemental water within you. You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, and you are immune to cold damage.

In addition, as long as you are not incapacitated, when you are hit by an attack that is a critical hit, you can absorb the blow like a liquid, turning the critical hit into a normal hit.

This tentacle is size medium, has an AC of 13 and 30 hit points, has resistance to fire damage and to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage from non-magical sources, and is vulnerable to cold damage. The tentacle uses your spellcasting ability score and modifier in place of its Strength score and modifier, but otherwise uses your statistics for determining its saving throws. This tentacle disappears when it drops to 0 hit points, or when the spell ends.

When you first cast this spell, you can cause the ten-tacle to make a melee spell attack with your statistics against a creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 3d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. As a bonus action on your turn, you can command the tentacle to move up to 15 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 10 feet of it. If the tentacle's attack hits, you may direct it to grapple a target instead of dealing damage. If it does, any attempts to escape the grapple are made against your spellcasting ability modifier plus your proficiency bonus.

You may also use an action on your turn to direct the tentacle to act in accordance to your somatic gestures, performing functions such as lifting objects or moving up to 15 feet, but the tentacle will not attack unless you command it to do so with a bonus action, as above.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the hit points of the tentacle increase by 10 and the damage of spell's attack increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.

Flametouched

Whether you stole your power from a noble Efreeti lord, were gifted it by an ancient dragon, or were born near a rift to the elemental plane of fire, you now bear within you an ember of pure elemental flame. This mote of fire fuels your burning soul, allowing you to perform wondrous feats of fire magic.

How does the ember within effect your decision making? Are you passionate and rash, letting your emotions guide you? Or, do you resist, seeking calm mastery of your power?

New Spells

Aberrant Mind

An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around you, warping you in both body and mind. Perhaps a psychic splinter lodged in your psyche after you suffered domination by an aboleth. Maybe you were born somewhere tainted by the Far Realm, a planar blot that changed you forever. Or perhaps mind flayers kidnapped you, subjecting you to the nightmarish process of ceremorphosis—but the transformation failed and left you altered.

Startouched (Luxonborn)

By either an ancient ritual, or a birthright passed down through generations, you are able to use magic that reflects the power of stars. This magic, both old and powerful, can shape worlds or destroy them, and lets you shine the light from above down onto those who would face you.

Clockwork Soul

The cosmic force of order has suffused you with magic. That power arises from Mechanus or a realm like it-a plane of existence shaped entirely by clockwork efficiency. You, or someone from your lineage, might have become entangled in the machinations of the modrons, the orderly beings who inhabit Mechanus. Perhaps your ancestor even took part in the Great Modron March. Whatever its origin within you, the power of order can seem strange to others, but for you, it is part of a vast and glorious system.

Fiendspawn

Most mortals who wield the powers of the hells do so under strict contracts with devils and Archdevils. However, some cultists and other mortals draw upon more chaotic infernal power become Fiendspawn. Though not always evil, Fiendspawn fueled by the chaotic and dangerous magic of the Abyss.

How did you come to be the bearer of this hellish power? Were your parents cultists that dedicated you at birth, or did you acquire this sinister power through your own choices?
