Welcome to Epic Level Hell!

Damnation

11th level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Components: V

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Cleric, Warlock

You banish a single creature to the Hells, with almost no possibility of return. If you succeed at a melee spell attack, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. Failure means the creature is dragged to the Hells by shadowy creatures, to be tormented and ultimately devoured by fiends.

A creature succeeding at its save is nonetheless exhausted from resisting so powerful an enchantment, and it is incapacitated until the start of its next turn.

Creatures with the Unconquerable trait that are damned to the Hells may repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, returning on 3 successes. If the creature scores 3 fails before 3 successes, it only returns on half of its maximum hit points. If the creature was already on fewer, in this instance, it does not return. The fails or successes need not be consecutive.

Constructs are unaffected.

Dimensional Blade

10th level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 bonus action

Range: Sight

Components: V, S, M (fire of the caster)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Classes: Wizard

The caster tears a hole in the fabric of space itself, using their own internal fire as a component. This spell mimics the effect of a Blade of Disaster cast at 10th level, meaning that the spell has double the damage of Blade of Disaster, combined with the benefit of the caster's fire. For example, a caster who uses moonfire may combine the spell with their Moonblade. A caster who uses silver fire may do the same with their Silvered Weapon ability. The Dimensional Blade is unaffected by Antimagic Fields and Dispel Magic. Concentration checks to maintain the Dimensional Blade are made at advantage, and cannot have disadvantage imposed on them. When summoning the Dimensional Blade, only one fire or spell like ability may be used at a time, therefore only granting one of the abilities listed below. This spell can be cast as a bonus action, and when the spell is cast as well as as a bonus action every turn, the Dimensional Blade can move up to 60 ft. and make two attacks.

The base damage of Dimensional Blade is 8d12 force damage. This spell also will score a critical hit on a natural 16 or higher on the first attack. If a critical hit is scored on the first attack, the critical hit range will decrease by 2, down to a critical strike being achieved on an 18 or higher on any subsequent attack. The critical hit range will reset back to normal on the caster's next turn. When a critical hit is scored, the damage of Dimensional Blade will triple to 24d12 force damage. This critical effect also applies to the type of fire used as the component of the spell, if it does damage in the first place. The Dimensional Blade has the ability to be upcast to 11th and 12th level, allowing the base damage to increase by an additional 4d12 for every level above 10th.

Known fires that can be used and incorporated into the Dimensional Blade:

Moonfire. When this effect is used, the effects of Moonfire are added onto the Dimensional Blade. The Dimensional Blade begins to glow with a pale white light, like that of the moon. Every hit now does an additional amount of radiant damage, dealing a number of d8 equal to half the casters level (rounded up). On undead creatures as well as shapechangers, this amount doubles to equal the caster's level. This effect increases up to 15d8 (30d8 for undead and shapechangers). The blade also sheds a pale white moonlight at a radius of 30ft.

All magical auras within the radius of the blade glow with a faint blue light for the duration of the spell. Disguised, shapechanged, or polymorphed creatures and objects in the spell's area at the time the spell is cast must make Wisdom saves or immediately return to their normal forms (Against spell save DC). Even if the save succeeds, they remain covered in ghostly white outlines that show their true forms for the duration of the spell.

The entire area covered by the sphere glows silver-white for the duration of the spell. This radiance is as bright as the light of a full moon and negates lightning damage for the duration of the spell unless the item or creature generating the lighting effect makes a caster level check (1d20 + spellcasting mod + proficiency) against a DC equal to 10 + your caster level. If a lightning effect is generated outside the glowing sphere, the sphere blocks the electricity effect unless the creature generating the effect succeeds on a caster level check. If an electricity effect is generated inside the glowing sphere, the sphere negates the electricity effect unless the creature generating the effect succeeds on a caster level check.

Elemental Master

11th level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 40 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Up to 1 hour

Classes: Druid, Wizard

You conjure two elder elementals, choosing from air, earth, fire and water. The elder elementals must be different types and they appear at a spot you can see of your choosing within range. When one of them dies, another elder elemental appears in its place; it must be of a type not yet conjured by this spell. When a second dies, a final elder elemental appears in its place, and its type is whichever of the four not yet conjured by this spell.

You have absolute control over the elder elementals you conjure with this spell and you may give instructions to them as a whole by telepathy as a bonus action. There is no range restriction on this, though you must be on the same plane of existence as the elemental created.

In the absence of instruction, the elementals behave according to type but will not harm anyone you forbid them to. The elementals remain for 1 hour, until slain, you or they travel to a different plane of existence, or you are rendered unconscious or slain, at which point they disappear.

Entropic Husk

11th level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 40 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Cleric, Warlock, Wizard

You obliterate a creature’s soul and compel its body to metamorph into a creature of wild destruction. Make a melee spell attack. If you succeed, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. On success, the creature resists the decimation attempt on its soul, but such are the physical demands of doing so that it is subject to the spell power word pain.

On a fail, the creature’s soul is instantly annihilated, and its body is animated by primal entropy. For the next minute, the creature becomes a juggernaut of destruction. Its hit points increase to 200 if its current hit points are lower. It gains a +8 bonus to its AC, Strength and Constitution, and randomly attacks former allies and enemies alike.

It loses any abilities it once had, such as spellcasting, and instead relies only on taking the Attack action. It now makes 3 attacks per turn, regardless of how many it was able to make previously. After 1 minute has passed, the entropic force animating the creature’s body burns itself out and the creature collapses into dust.

Creatures with the Unconquerable trait that fail the initial save do not immediately succumb to the spell’s effect, and may repeat the save at the end of each of its subsequent turns, ending the spell on 3 successes. If the creature scores 2 more fails before 3 successes, it is subject to the effect of the spell as above if it remains on the same plane of existence. The fails or successes need not be consecutive.

This spell has no effect on demipowers or deities, or any creature that does not possess its own soul in its body.

Epic Gate

11th level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You open a portal to the Lower Planes and calls forth a balor to assail your foes for the duration. If it is slain, a second one is immediately summoned in its place. The strength of this conjuration is such that the demons are bound to your will, and you need not have cast any spell or maintain concentration to prevent them from attacking you. The balor always attacks whichever of your enemies is closest.

A summoned balor disappears back through a portal 1 minute after you cast this spell.

Alternatively, you can summon any creature by speaking its name, which includes psuedonyms or nicknames. The deity or planar ruler cannot prevent this portal. You gain no special powers over this creature, and it desummons after an hour.

At Higher Levels: If cast at 12th level, the Epic Gate spell summons a creature, which you explicitly have special power over, making it entirely loyal to you. It does not desummon unless killed.

Exercitum Ex Mortis

10th level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 120 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You flood corpses with negative energy and raise an army of the dead for you to command. This spell can't create undead from nothing - there must be at least 1 corpse within range at the time of casting.

For each corpse within range, roll a 2d4, using the higher result of the two to determine the maximum CR of which each corpse can rise as undead. You then determine the nature of each undead, although a creature’s size may not exceed that of the corpse in question, and the undead must be corporeal. Your command of the undead is absolute and as a bonus action, you telepathically give instructions to them as a whole. You must be on the same plane of existence as the undead created to do this.

In the absence of instruction, the undead behave according to type but will not harm anyone you forbid them to. The undead remain until slain, you or they travel to a different plane of existence, or you die, at which point they turn to dust.

If you cast this spell again whilst any undead you created remain, those remaining turn to dust once you create one or more new undead from the new casting.

Freedom

12th level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 day

Range: Unlimited

Components: V, S, M (a collection of gems worth at least 100,000 gp, the tear of a deity, the heart of a dragon, and the bile of a tarrasque)

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Wizard

This spell embodies the status of freedom, freeing a target of any conditions of the caster's choosing. These conditions may be mental, physical, emotional, or metaphysical bonds put on the target. For example, this spell could be used to free a long imprisoned god, dissolve any magical contract or bargain, free any person from their social or familial bonds, or free two gods from their hatred or friendship. The world shapes and morphs to fit the sundered bond, usually to the benefit of the caster. This spell does not actually change the past, but rather shapes the world into what would happen should the present be altered.

As an epic level spell, this spell cannot be counterspelled using a spell slot lower than the casting of this spell.

Greater Telepathy

9th level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Unlimited

Components: V, S

Duration: 24 hours

Classes: Warlock, Wizard

You create a telepathic link between yourself and a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence score that you are aware of. The creature does not need to be on the same plane of existence.

Until the spell ends, you and a target can instantaneously share words, images, sounds, and other sensory messages with one another through the link. This spell enables a creature with an Intelligence score of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your words and take in the scope of any sensory messages you send it.

At Higher Levels. If this spell is upcast to 10th level, the effect is permanent until dispelled.

Hellball

The caster has control over this effect and can grow or shrink the spell to their liking.

Tear Time. The caster rips a hole in time, opening a portal to some time period of the DM's choosing. The caster may select the location that this portal leads to, and may attempt to influence the time period the portal connects to as well.

Sunder Magic. The caster sunders the weave in a selected area, creating a dead magic zone. All forms of spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities cease to function inside this dead magic zone, regardless of whether or not they make use of the weave.

Escape. The caster may choose to form a portal to escape from a place they are normally unable to, such as the Domains of Dread. The caster may choose to dismiss the portal as a bonus action. This effect of the spell cannot be counterspelled or dispelled.
