You call forth a plant spirit. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Plant Spirit stat block. When you cast the spell, choose a plant type: Aquatic, Fungal, or Verdant. The creature resembles a sentient plant of your choice that is native to the chosen environment, which determines certain traits in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

Bat. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing. Additionally, you can make an unarmed strike with your elongated fangs as a bonus action.

When the cloud appears, it projects a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in the cloud must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened for the duration. While frightened by this spell, the creature has a speed of 0. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there. The spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or moves outside the mist.

Rabidness

- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You attempt to spike the minds of beasts with a surge of adrenaline to flood their fight or flight response. Each beast in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the spell ends.
While a beast is frightened in this way, it must roll a d4 at the start of each of its turns. On an odd number, the beast must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move, in which case it takes the Dodge action. On an even number, the beast must approach the closest beast creature within its reach and make the maximum number of attacks it can against the target.
If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.
Classes: Druid, Ranger, Warlock, Wizard
Sap
4th-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Gooey sap leaks out from the ground in a 20-foot-square starting from a point within range. Until the spell ends, you can use an action to make the sap gooey or solid. The sap always appears gooey when you first cast this spell.
Gooey. The ground in the spell’s area becomes difficult terrain. Creatures restrained or incapacitated by the sap when it was solid no longer suffer from these conditions. A creature in the area attempting to exit from prone must make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it uses its full movement to exit from prone.
Solid. When the sap first turns solid, each creature in the area must succeed on a Strength saving throw, with disadvantage if it is prone, or be restrained. A creature that fails its saving throw while prone is also incapacitated. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Additionally, the area is no longer difficult terrain.
Classes: Druid, Ranger, Wizard
5th level
Amber
5th-level abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 minute
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a vial of sap from a treant worth 500 gp, which the spell consumes)
- Duration: 24 hours
You touch a creature for the duration of the casting time and perform this spell, encasing it in hardening sap. The creature becomes petrified for the spell’s duration. While petrified by this spell, rather than its own body turning into a solid inanimate substance, the creature is encased in an unbreakable yellow-gold amber substance that covers its entire body, alongside any object it is wearing or carrying. Additionally, it is immune to all damage.
At the end of the spell’s duration, the amber substance breaks apart and the creature is no longer petrified, but falls prone. Having its entire body in natural stasis for a long period of time puts it in a state of lethargy. The creature takes a −4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the creature finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
Classes: Druid, Ranger
Sinkhole
5th-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
You choose a 15-foot-radius area on the ground within range. This ground disappears, creating a 15-foot-radius, 20-foot-deep cylindrical pit. This hole creates no instability in nearby structures.
Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature falls into the pit, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage from falling, and falls prone. On a successful save, the creature can use its reaction to move up to its movement speed so that it is clear of the pit.
Classes: Artificer, Ranger, Wizard
Swift Thrower
5th-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a thrown weapon worth at least 1 sp)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You trace the physical shape of the weapon used in the casting such that a replica materializes into existence whenever you throw it.
On each of your turns until the spell ends, when you use the weapon to make a ranged attack, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack roll. You can also use a bonus action to make two attacks with the thrown weapon. Each time you use the weapon to make a ranged attack, a nonmagical copy of the weapon appears in your hand, magically replacing the one you threw.
Any copies of the thrown weapon created by this spell disintegrate when the spell ends, and the original weapon you used in the casting reappears in your hand.

You can expend one of these attacks to grant advantage your next weapon attack, up to a maximum of two times.
