A spell is a discrete magical effect, a single shaping of the magical energies that suffuse the multiverse into a specific, limited expression. In casting a spell, a character carefully plucks at the invisible strands of raw magic suffusing the world, pins them in place in a particular pattern, sets them vibrating in a specific way and then releases them to unleash the desired effect. In most cases, this all occurs in the span of seconds.

Spells can be versatile tools, weapons, or protective wards. They can deal damage or undo it, impose or remove conditions, drain life energy away and restore life to the dead.

Uncounted thousands of spells have been created over the course of the multiverse's history, and many of them are long forgotten. Some might yet lie recorded in crumbling spellbooks hidden in ancient ruins or trapped in the minds of dead gods. Or they might someday be reinvented by a character who has amassed enough power and wisdom to do so.

When a character casts a spell, they expend a number of spell points equal to that spell's level. So when the 3rd level wizard from the above example casts magic missile, a 1st-level spell, they spend one of their fifteen spell points and have fourteen remaining. You can't reduce your spell point total to less than 0.

Some characters and monsters have special abilities that let them cast spells without using spell points. For example, a monk who follows the Way of the Four Elements, a warlock who chooses certain eldritch invocations, and a pit fiend from the Nine Hells can all cast spells in such a way.

Cantrips

A cantrip is a spell that can be cast at will, without using spell points and without being prepared in advance. Repeated practice has fixed the spell in the caster's mind and infused the caster with the magic needed to produce the effect over and over. 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 longer to cast than normal, as defined by the following table:

Rituals also don't consume spell points, 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 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.

Casting Spells in Armour

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

Perceiving a Caster at Work

Many spells create obvious effects: explosions of fire, walls of ice, teleportation, and the like. Other spells, such as charm person, display no visible, audible, or otherwise perceptible sign of their effects, and could easily go unnoticed by someone unaffected by them. You normally don’t know that a spell has been cast unless the spell produces a noticeable effect.

However, it is possible for a character to perceive that a spell is being cast in their presence. To be perceptible, the casting of a spell must involve a verbal, somatic, or material component. The form of a material component doesn't matter for the purposes of perception, whether it’s an object specified in the spell’s description, a component pouch, or a spellcasting focus.

If the need for a spell’s components has been removed by a special ability, such as the sorcerer’s Subtle Spell feature or the Innate Spellcasting trait possessed by many creatures, the casting of the spell is imperceptible. If an imperceptible casting produces a perceptible effect, it’s normally impossible to determine who cast the spell in the absence of other evidence.

Identifying a Spell

Sometimes a character wants to identify a spell that someone else is casting or that was already cast. To do so, a character can make an Intelligence (Arcana) check on their turn to identify a spell by its effect after it is cast.

If the character perceived the casting, the spell’s effect, or both, the character can attempt the check. The DC equals 15 + the spell’s level. If the spell is cast as a class spell and the character is a member of that class, the check is made with advantage. For example, if the spellcaster casts a spell as a cleric, another cleric has advantage on the check to identify the spell. Some spells aren't associated with any class when they're cast, such as when a monster uses its Innate Spellcasting trait.

This Intelligence (Arcana) check represents the fact that identifying a spell requires a quick mind and familiarity with the theory and practice of casting. This is true even for a character whose spellcasting ability is Wisdom or Charisma. Being able to cast spells doesn't by itself make you adept at deducing exactly what others are doing when they cast their spells.

Casting a Spell

When a character casts any spell, the same basic rules are followed, regardless of the character's class or the spell's effects.

Each spell description in Chapter 11 begins with a block of information, including the spell's name, level, school of magic, casting time, range, components, and duration. The rest of a spell entry describes the spell's effect.

Components

A spell's components are the physical requirements you must meet in order to cast it. Each spell's description indicates whether it requires verbal (V), somatic (S), or material (M) components. If you can't provide one or more of a spell's components, you are unable to cast the spell.

Duration

A spell's duration is the length of time the spell persists. A duration can be expressed in rounds, minutes, hours, or even years. Some spells specify that their effects last until the spells are dispelled or destroyed.

Targets

A typical spell requires you to pick one or more targets to be affected by the spell's magic. A spell's description tells you whether the spell targets creatures, objects, or a point of origin for an area of effect (described below).

Unless a spell has a perceptible effect, a creature might not know that it was targeted by a spell at all. An effect like crackling lightning is obvious, but a more subtle effect, such as an attempt to read a creature's thoughts, typically goes unnoticed, unless a spell says otherwise.

Attack Rolls

Many spells require the caster to make an attack roll to determine whether the spell effect hits the intended target. Your attack bonus with a spell attack equals your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Some spells that require attack rolls involve ranged attacks. 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 that isn't incapacitated (see chapter 9).

Cantrips involving a melee or ranged attack roll add your spellcasting ability modifier to their damage roll, as detailed in the spell description.

Defence Checks

Some spells specify that a target may make a defence check on its turn to shrug off the some or all of the a spell's effects. The spell specifies the ability that the target uses for the defence check and what happens on a success or failure.

The DC to resist one of your spells equals 10 + your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus + any special modifiers.

Areas of Effect

Spells such as burning hands and cone of cold cover an area, allowing them to affect multiple creatures at once.

A spell's description specifies its area of effect, which typically has one of five different shapes: cone, cube, cylinder, line, or sphere. Every area of effect has a point of origin, a location from which the spell's energy erupts. The rules for each shape specify how you position its point of origin. Typically, a point of origin is a point in space, but some spells have an area whose origin is a creature or an object.

A spell's effect expands in straight lines from the point of origin. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of origin to a location within the area of effect, that location isn't included in the spell's area. To block one of these imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover, as explained in chapter 9.

Combining Magical Effects

The effects of different spells add together while the durations of those spells overlap. The effects of the same spell cast multiple times don't combine, however. Instead, the most potent effect (such as the highest bonus) from those castings applies while their durations overlap, or the most recent effect applies if the castings are equally potent and their durations overlap.

For example, if two clerics cast bless on the same target, that character gains the spell's benefit only once; they do not get to roll two bonus dice.

However, when two spellcasters act together they can cast spells in unison for increased potency. In order to do this, the two spellcasters must be adjacent to one another, or otherwise coordinate their positioning appropriately, and act simultaneously via readied actions or other, similar, means. For example, two spell casters might perform a spell combo from opposite sides of the target.

In order to successfully combine their spells, each spellcaster must succeed on a proficient spellcasting attribute check of DC 10 plus the level of the spell they are casting (cantrips are level 0 spells). If either of these skill checks fail, the spells function normally.

If these skill checks succeed, both spell attack rolls have advantage.

Spell Interaction

Some elements or damage types cannot be effectively combined, while others make for especially potent combinations. If one spell is boosted by another, then its damage roll has advantage.

• Air boosts Fire
• Fire boosts Earth
• Earth boosts Water
• Water boosts Air

Opposing Elements

• Air and Earth
• Fire and Water

Boosted Damage Types

• Bludgeoning boosts Bludgeoning
• Cold boosts Bludgeoning and Necrotic
• Lightning boosts Thunder

• Poison boosts Necrotic
• Piercing boosts Poison
• Radiant boosts Fire
• Slashing boosts Poison
• Thunder boosts Bludgeoning

Opposing Damage Types

• Cold and Fire
• Necrotic and Radiant

The Weave of Magic

The world is a magical place. All existence is suffused with magical power, and potential energy lies untapped in every rock, stream, and living creature, and even in the air itself. Raw magic is the stuff of creation, the mute and mindless will of existence, permeating every bit of matter and present in every manifestation of energy throughout the multiverse.

Mortals can’t directly shape this raw magic. Instead, they make use of a fabric of magic, a kind of interface between the will of a spellcaster and the stuff of raw magic. Spellcasters have varied ways of naming and visualising this interface, but, whatever they call it, without the Weave raw magic is locked away and inaccessible. Even the most powerful archmage can’t light a candle with magic in an area where the Weave has been torn, but, surrounded by the Weave, a spellcaster can shape lightning to blast foes, transport hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye, or even reverse death itself.

All magic depends on the Weave, though different kinds of magic access it in a variety of ways. The spells of wizards, warlocks, sorcerers, and bards are commonly called arcane magic. These spells rely on an understanding (learned or intuitive) of the workings of the Weave. The caster plucks directly at the strands of the Weave to create the desired effect. Blood ragers, eldritch knights and arcane tricksters also use arcane magic. The spells of clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers are called divine magic. These spellcasters’ access to the Weave is mediated by divine power. Gods, the divine forces of nature, or the sacred weight of a paladin’s oath.

Whenever a magical effect is created, the threads of the Weave intertwine, twist, and fold to make the effect possible. When characters use divination spells such as detect magic or identify, they glimpse the Weave. A spell such as dispel magic smooths the Weave. Spells such as antimagic field rearrange the Weave so that magic flows around, rather than through, the area affected by the spell. And in places where the Weave is damaged or torn, magic works in unpredictable ways—or not at all.

Magic Stone

Transmutation Cantrip

Duration: 1 Minute

You touch one to three pebbles and imbue them with magic. You or someone else can make a ranged spell attack with one of the pebbles by throwing it or hurling it with a sling. If thrown, a pebble has a range of 60 feet. If someone else attacks with a pebble, that attacker adds your spellcasting ability modifier, not the attacker’s, to the attack roll. On a hit, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Whether the attack hits or misses, the spell then ends on the stone.

If you cast this spell again, the spell ends on any pebbles still affected by your previous casting.

This spell's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.

Undead cannot be created within or summoned into a consecrated area. If the consecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to your deity, pantheon, or aligned higher power, undead creatures within the area suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and other creatures have advantage to hit them.

An undead creature created within or summoned into a desecrated area gains +1 hit point per HD.

You cause a creature or an object you can see within range to grow larger or smaller for the duration. Choose either a creature or an object that is neither worn nor carried. If the target is unwilling, make a spell attack vs its Constitution defence. On a miss, the spell has no effect. If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.

Enlarge. The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category. If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the spell ends, the target also has advantage on Strength checks, attacks vs its Strength defence suffer disadvantage, and its walking speed increases by 5 feet. The target's weapons also grow to match its new size and 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. Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength checks, attacks vs its Strength defence benefit from advantage, and its walking speed decreases by 5 feet. The target's weapons also shrink to match its new size and deal 1d4 less damage (this can't reduce the damage below 1).

When the spell is first cast and at the end of each of your turns for the spell's duration, any creature within the spell's area is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain. Make a spell attack vs the creature's Constitution defence. On a hit, it takes 2d10 radiant damage, or half as much damage on a miss. Additionally, any creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn must also make a Constitution defence check. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed check, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The spell has advantage to hit shapechangers and they make their defence check with disadvantage. If one is hit or fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can't assume a different form until it leaves the spell's light.

On each of your turns after you cast this spell, you can use an action to move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.

It will follow in your footsteps indefinitely, or until you command it to take a single action. If that action is to attack, it will deal 5d6 damage to that which it hits. If that action is to defend, it will absorb the damage from the next attack launched upon its ward. If is to lift, it will lift one thing weighing 10,000 gold coins or less. After any of these acts, it will turn into mud and disintegrate.

Casting Time: 1 Free Action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, it makes a spellcasting attack roll modified by the spell's level vs your spellcasting ability defence modified by counterspell's level. On a failure, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.

For example, if a level 5 wizard with 18 intelligence casts a 3rd level counterspell vs a 5th level cone of cold spell cast by a CR 6 Mage with 17 intelligence, the Mage rolls with an attack bonus of:

vs a DC of:

Counterspell can only be cast when another creature that you can see casts a spell within 60 feet of you. In order to be ready to cast counterspell, you must on your own turn declare the conditions under which you will cast counterspell.

You can send the message across any distance and even to other planes of existence, but if the target is on a different plane than you, there is a 5 percent chance that the message doesn't arrive.

This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it return an undead creature to life.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a −2 penalty to all attack rolls, defences, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.

A creature cannot gain an ability it already has through this spell, and abilities that have limited uses are not recharged at any point: the creature gaining the ability inherits however many uses were remaining at the time the spell was cast, and the original owner of the ability is left with only as many uses as were unspent at the end of the spell's duration.

You must touch the ashes or other remains of the object when you cast this spell, and all of the object's remains must be present; the spell fails if some of the ashes have been lost for example. After you have finished casting this spell, the target object is restored to whatever condition it was in immediately before it was burned. The spell does not repair damage not caused by fire.

Legend Lore

5th level Divination (Ritual)
Casting Time: See Text
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (Incense worth at least 250 gp, which the spell consumes, and four ivory strips worth at least 50 gp each.)
Duration: Instantaneous

Legend lore brings to your mind legends about an important person, place, or thing. If the person or thing is at hand, or if you are in the place in question, the casting time is only 10 minutes. If you have only detailed information on the person, place, or thing, the casting time is 1 week, cannot be cast as a ritual, and the resulting lore is less complete and specific (though it often provides enough information to help you find the person, place, or thing, thus allowing a better legend lore result next time). If you know only rumors, the casting time is 1 month, and the resulting lore is vague and incomplete (though it often directs you to more detailed information, thus allowing a better legend lore result next time).

During the casting, you cannot engage in other than routine activities: eating, sleeping, and so forth. When completed, the divination brings legends (if any) about the person, place, or things to your mind. These may be legends that are still current, legends that have been forgotten, or even information that has never been generally known. If the person, place, or thing is not of legendary importance, you gain no information. As a rule of thumb, characters who are 11th level and higher are "legendary", as are the sorts of creatures they contend with, the major magic items they wield, and the places where they perform their key deeds.

Ironwood

6th level Transmutation (Ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute/lb created
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (wood to be transformed)
Duration: 2 Weeks

This spell creates an ironwood object weighing up to 70 lbs. Ironwood is a magical substance created by druids from normal wood. While remaining natural wood in almost every way, ironwood is as strong, heavy, and resistant to fire as steel. Spells that affect metal or iron do not function on ironwood. Spells that affect wood do affect ironwood, although ironwood does not burn. Using this spell with the wood shape spell or a wood-related Craft check, you can fashion wooden items that function as steel items. Thus, wooden plate armor and wooden swords can be created that are as durable as their normal steel counterparts. These items are freely usable by druids.

Further, if you make only half as much ironwood as the spell would normally allow, any weapon, shield, or suit of armor so created is treated as a magic item with a +1 enhancement bonus.

Serve

6th level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You utter a word of power. This utterance forces the world to serve you. You can use this spell to part water up to 10" deep, or lower the water level of a body of water by 50%.

Soul Cage

6th level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 Free Action
Range: 60 Feet

Duration: 8 Hours

When a humanoid that you can see died within 60 feet of you in the last round, you can snatch its soul as it dies and traps it inside the tiny cage that you use for the material component. A stolen soul remains inside the cage until the spell ends or until you destroy the cage, which ends the spell. While you have a soul inside the cage, you can exploit it in any of the ways described below. You can use a trapped soul up to six times. Once you exploit a soul for the sixth time, it is released, and the spell ends. While a soul is trapped, the dead humanoid that it came from can’t be revived.

Steal Life. You can use a bonus action to drain vigour from the soul and regain 2d8 hit points.

Query Soul. You ask the soul a question (no action required) and receive a brief telepathic answer, which you can understand regardless of the language used. The soul knows only what it knew in life, but it must answer you truthfully and to the best of its ability. The answer is no more than a sentence or two and might be cryptic.

Borrow Experience. You can use a bonus action to bolster yourself with the soul’s life experience, making your next attack roll or ability check with advantage. If you don't use this benefit before the start of your next turn, it is lost.

Eyes of the Dead. You can use an action to name a place the humanoid saw in life, which creates an invisible sensor somewhere in that place if it is on the plane of existence that you're currently on. The sensor remains for as long as you concentrate, up to 10 minutes (as if you were concentrating on a spell). You receive visual and auditory information from the sensor as if you were in its space using your senses.

A creature that can see the sensor (such as one using see invisibility or truesight) sees a translucent image of the tormented humanoid whose soul you caged.

Safeguard

6th level Abjuration (Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard)
Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

In the face of danger, you create a barrier that protects you and those around you. A faintly glowing sphere of protection with a radius of 10 feet appears. The sphere lasts for as long as maintain concentration, or up to 1 minute.

Any spell of a lower level than the Safeguard cast from outside the barrier can't affect creatures or objects within it, even if the spell is cast using a higher level spell slot. Such a spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier, but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by such spells.

Furthermore, hazards of the followings type cannot physically pass through the barrier or affect anything within it.

• Physical projectiles
• A specific effect, such as a dragon's breath attack.
• An environmental danger, such as falling rocks or a lava flow.

At Higher Levels. When you cast Safeguard using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the maximum radius increases by 10 feet for each slot level above 7th.

The Wall

7th Level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 120 Feet
Components: V, S, M (Another brick.)
Duration: Until dispelled or torn down

A nonmagical wall of bricks and mortar springs into existence at a point you choose within range. The wall is 6 inches thick and is composed of twenty 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel. Alternatively, you can create 10-foot-by-5-foot panels that are 16 inches thick, incorporating a 4-inch cavity. If a space would be surrounded below and on all four sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), the spell can create a pitched roof of tile and timber to create a fully enclosed volume. Roof sections do not count towards the total number of panels conjured by the spell.

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), make a spell attack roll vs their Dexterity defence. On a miss, it moves 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 structures or landforms. Thus, you can use this spell to bridge a chasm, create a ramp, or build a cantilevered annex onto an existing building.

If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can shape the wall to create battlements, windows, doorways and so on, though you cannot create details finer than the width of a brick (i.e. 3 inches).

The wall is an object made of brick that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has a Strength defence of 14 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness (not including cavities). Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM’s discretion.

Any creature that is surrounded on at least 4 sides by the wall is immune to being charmed or frightened and has resistance to psychic damage.

Level 8

Level 9

Level 10

A Taxing Return

Every time a character is restored to life, the process corrodes a fraction of their vitality, slowly consuming the body until it can no longer sustain life.

Each time a character is brought back to life via a spell or ritual, that character suffers a permanent loss of 1 point of their Constitution ability score. This loss cannot be restored by normal means, such as a greater restoration spell. Only powerful magic, such as a wish spell or divine intervention, can restore a resurrected character's Constitution ability score. Use of the spell true resurrection to restore a character does not impose this loss of Constitution. Characters that reach a Constitution ability score of 0 are permanently dead and cannot be resurrected.

Didn't Come Back Right

The process of dying and being pulled back into your body is a harrowing experience. The magic itself pulls you from beyond the dark veil of death, taking its toll on your body and psyche each time, leaving you less and less the person you were.

When a character is brought back to life via magic, that character must make a Wisdom defence check, DC (22 - level of the magic used to return the character to life). A failure on this check inflicts long term madness (see Appendix), except that the duration is measured in days rather than hours. A lesser restoration or remove curse will alleviate the madness itself, though it returns any time that character drops to 0 hit points or awakens from sleep, until its full duration has expired.

If a character has died a number of times equal to their Constitution modifier, and they fail their Wisdom defence check upon being brought back to life, they instead suffer an indefinite madness (see Appendix). Any subsequent deaths inflict an additional indefinite madness with each resurrection. A greater restoration spell can temporarily suppress a type of indefinite madness, with it returning anytime that character drops to 0 hit points.

The Fading Spirit
