Introduction
Greetings, reader. I'm surprised but elated to be doing this once again. As you may know, my name is Orana, and over the years, I've collected notes from across the multiverse, even when my wife would have much preferred I had been running. This book contains notes on some of the more fascinating discoveries I've made about that which nearly captures my heart as much as Myria does: magic. The following pages are full of things that could have killed me, but also more than one that kept me alive.
Many of the wizard spells I encounter, I already have tucked into my spellbook or on a scroll earmarked for future copying. But the joy of magic is those that defy my arcane understandings. Those of the clerics and the druids, the paladins and the rangers. In my travels, I've come to know more than one who has explained how their spells function, so kind as to let me include them within these pages. Others have been even more magnanimous; it is from them that I have learned of specific styles of spellcasting like that of the arcane tradition of spycraft or that of sorcerers whose very bodies mimic others. I have seen mages bend shadows and discovered items so marvelously magical I was tempted to steal. All of these and more are chronicled within. And here now we arrive at what I must insist is the end of my excited ramblings. I can only hope this, and the contents of the book itself, provide some use to you.

- Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you are forced to make a saving throw against a spell or are hit with a spell attack
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Sorcerer
You attempt to absorb a spell and bind it within your body. If the spell is 5th-level or lower, the spell has no effect on you, and for the next minute, you can deal additional force damage when you hit with a spell attack equal to the twice the level of the triggering spell. If the spell is of 6th-level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the spell has no effect on you, and for the next minute, you can deal additional force damage when you hit with a spell attack equal to twice the level of the triggering spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell is absorbed if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.
Acid Rain
5th-level Evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 300 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a vial of acid, which the spell consumes)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
A torrent of acidic rain begins to fall in a 30-foot-radius, 50-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. Each creature in the cylinder must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 6d8 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Nonmagical objects that aren’t being worn or carried within the area take twice as much damage, and if it would reduce them to 0 hit points they dissolve.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the acid damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
Assess
Divination cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: S, M (five glass beads)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You focus intently on one creature, one object, or collection of objects that can fit within a 5-foot cube (such as a bag of marbles or a pile of coins) that you can see within range. You learn one of the following facts:
- You learn an individual target's weight, or the total combined weight of a collection of objects.
- You measure one dimension of the target: its height, width, depth, or perimeter.
- You learn the number of pieces the target is composed of, or the number of objects or creatures the target is holding.
- You learn the target's speed if it has moved since the start of its last turn.
- You learn what substance the object is composed of, provided you have a basic knowledge of the substance. For example, the spell can't inform you that a sword is adamantine if you have never encountered or studied the metal before. If you have no knowledge of the substance, the spell fails.
Aura of Candor
3rd-level Divination
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (30-foot radius)
- Components: V, S, M (a candle)
- Duration: 1 minute
- Classes: Cleric, Paladin
For the duration, floating candles fills a 30-foot area around you. When a creature other than you enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, an affected creature takes 3d12 psychic damage, instantly reverts to its original form, and any effect causing it to be invisible ends. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't revealed.
A creature is immune to this effect if it isn't invisible, a shapechanger, or disguised by magic.
Aura of Unity
4th-level Divination
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (30-foot radius)
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- Classes: Paladin
Unifying energy radiates from you in an aura with a 30-foot radius, creating a bond between you and the minds of others. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you. Each friendly creature in the aura (including you) can see and hear through the senses of any other friendly creature in the aura. If a friendly creature within the aura makes an attack against a creature it can see and at least one other friendly creature in the aura can also see it, it makes the attack with advantage.
Balderdash
3rd-level Illusion (ritual)
- Casting Time: 1 minute
- Range: Special
- Components: V, S, M (A small bone whistle)
- Duration: 1 hour or until dispelled (see description)
- Classes: Bard, Wizard
You touch up to eight willing creatures. You and each creature affected by this spell gain the ability to speak in a secret language that is heard as incomprehensible gibberish to all other creatures for the duration. This language can't be understood by a creature unaffected by the spell, even with other magic such as comprehend languages or tongues.
When you cast this spell while within 10 feet of a written message of 50 words or less that you can see, you can choose for it to become permanently unreadable by any creature except for you, one creature you name when you cast the spell, and any creature named in the message.
This message remains indecipherable even to spells as above, although the dispel magic spell will remove the encryption. This message may be written on any medium you wish, and you don't have to be the original writer of the message to obscure its true meaning.
Beguile
Enchantment cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: S, M (a scrap of scorched cloth)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard
For the duration, one creature of your choice you can see has disadvantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Wisdom (Perception) checks it makes against you. When the spell ends, the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, it realizes you used magic to distract it, and might become hostile to you.
Bejewel
1st-level Conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a sapphire worth at least 25 gp)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
A creature you can see within range must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or begin to spew jewels from its gullet. For the duration, the target can't speak or cast spells with verbal components, and it can use either an action or a bonus action on its turn, but not both.
At the end of each of its turns, the target can repeat its saving throw, ending the spell on a success.
Jewels of various sizes pour from the target's mouth each round. Jewels created by this spell are cold to the touch, are noticeably magical in nature, and disappear at the end of the spell's duration.
Blessing of Speed
3rd-level Abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Cleric, Paladin
This spell bestows energy and unbridled movement. Choose any number of creatures within range. For the duration, each target has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, has its speed increase by 10 feet, and its movement is unaffected by difficult terrain.
Blood-Curdling Screech
2nd-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (15-foot radius)
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Bard, Warlock
You rip your vocal cords as you scream with violent fervor. Each creature that can hear you within 15 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you and deafened until the end of your next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the range of the spell increases by 5 feet for each level above 2nd.
Broadcast Thoughts
1st-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Special
- Components: M (a tiny prism)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You increase your mental patterns' amplitude, such that other creatures can hear you think. For the duration, you can telepathically communicate with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you.
When you cast this spell, and as a bonus action on each of your turns for the spell's duration, you can force each creature within 10, 20, or 30 feet of you (your choice each time you take this bonus action) to make an Intelligence saving throw as you assail it with mental noise.
A creature that fails its saving throw takes 1d6 psychic damage and 1d6 thunder damage. A creature that can read your mind, such as one concentrating on the detect thoughts spell, has disadvantage on its saving throw, and takes all of the spell's damage as thunder damage.
If a creature forces you to make an ability check or saving throw against having your mind read, it automatically takes damage as if it had failed its save against this spell, regardless of its distance from you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the thunder damage and psychic damage each increase by 1d6 per level of the slot above 1st.
Characterize
2nd-level Illusion (ritual)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a ball of clay)
- Duration: 1 hour
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock
Choose two different creatures within range that you can see (one of these creatures can include you); each target must have the same basic arrangement of body parts as the other, and both creatures must be the same size. For the spell's duration, the first creature’s physical appearance and the sound of its voice become that of the second target, and the second target's appearance and voice become the same as the first target’s. An unwilling target can make a Charisma saving throw to resist the identity swap. On a successful save, that creature doesn’t have its appearance or voice changed.
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern if one of the targets is disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect the target’s appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.
Chilling Smite
1st-level Evocation
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Paladin
The next time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell's duration, your attack deals an extra 2d6 cold damage. Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw or have its movement speed halved for the spell's duration.
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 1st.
Concussive Blast
3rd-level Evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: 1 round
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
You project a deadly wave of sound towards a creature within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 4d10 thunder damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a success, the target takes half as much damage and is not stunned.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
Conduct Chorus
5th-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a conductor's baton worth 10 gp)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard
You wave your baton in a series of staccato movements. Each creature in a 30-foot-cube within range must make a Wisdom saving throw or be restrained and compelled to sing. While it sings, it is unable to speak or cast spells that require verbal components. If it doesn't have vocal cords, it makes its best attempt to make noise. An affected creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
When a hostile creature enters the area within 60 feet of an affected creature for the first time on a turn, or starts its turn there and can hear it, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 thunder damage for each creature it hears (to a maximum of 6d6). On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Attempts to navigate using the sky as guidance are made at advantage for any creatures you choose within the spell's area. You can also can cause creatures you choose to have disadvantage on checks to navigate using the sky within the spell's area; if a creature becomes lost while suffering disadvantage this way, you choose the direction it travels for the first mile after becoming lost. You don't need to see a creature or know its location to target it with this effect.
Phantasmagoria. As an action, you cause the sky in a 100-foot-radius area you choose within range to quickly change between night, day, and a series of other appearances you choose. Each creature within that area must make a Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success; once a creature is no longer incapacitated by this spell, it is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
True Sky. As an action, you change the sky to a condition such as dusk, midday, a new moon, or an eclipse. The illusion is so realistic that it triggers effects or properties within the spell's area that would activate at a certain time of day or at during a certain celestial event (such as a magic item regaining charges at dawn, or a werewolf transforming on the night of the full moon). You can't use this effect again until you cast cosmic canvas again.
While the caster concentrates on it, this spell can't end by any means short of a wish. Including the caster in the area of an antimagic field will suspend the effect.

- Range: 10 feet
- Components: S, M (a drop of your own blood)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Warlock
You and a willing creature that can see and hear you within range enter into a magical agreement. The agreement can be one-sided, an equal exchange, or anything in between. Until the agreement is completed, both parties are marked with a symbol of your choice. Either party knows if the other fulfills their side of the agreement, and when both sides of the agreement are fulfilled the spell ends. The spell also ends early if you cast this spell again, or if a creature willingly breaches its side of the agreement. If a creature ends the spell or has another creature end the spell before it fulfills its side of the agreement, or if it willingly breaches its side of the agreement, the mark brands its flesh with a permanent scar until healed by magic.
Create Geysers
7th-level Transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: S, M (a piece of obsidian and a drop of water)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Druid
You cause the earth below to shudder with impending destruction. When you cast the spell, choose a point on the ground you can see within range. A powerful geyser of boiling water erupts centered on that point in the form of a 10-foot-radius, 60-foot-high cylinder. Each creature within that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 fire damage and 3d6 bludgeoning damage, and it is hurled up to 30 feet into the air. On a successful save, they take half as much damage, and aren't hurled. Additionally, the ground in the area becomes difficult terrain until cleared. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to create a geyser in this way again, targeting the same point or a different one.
If you are within an area with volcanic activity present when you cast this spell, the spell's fire and bludgeoning damage both increase by 1d6.
Create Undead Beast
4th-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 minute
- Range: 10 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a beast’s skull with a necromantic symbol drawn on it in blood)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Cleric, Druid, Wizard
Choose the corpse of a beast that has been dead for no longer than 10 days, and is of challenge rating 3 or lower. Your spell raises the beast as a zombified version of what it once was that is under your control, returning with all of its hit points. When a beast is raised by this spell, its type becomes Undead, it gains darkvision out to 60 feet, it gains immunity to poison, and it gains a zombie’s Undead Fortitude trait (the GM has the creatures' game statistics).
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature follows it until its task is complete.
The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the challenge rating of a beast you can raise is increased by 1 for each slot level above 4th.
Create Undead Horde
6th-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 10 minutes
- Range: 20 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a vial of blood, a pound of flesh, and a handful of bone dust)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Cleric, Warlock, Wizard
This spell creates a shambling army of undead. Choose a pile of Medium or Small humanoid corpses that fill a 15-foot cube. Your spell imbues the corpses with a twisted semblance of life, raising them as a Horde of Zombies.
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any horde you made with this spell if the horde is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple hordes, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the horde will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to assault a castle entrance or city gate. If you issue no commands, the horde only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the horde continues to follow it until its task is complete.
The horde is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the horde for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the horde again before the current 24-hour period ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th-level or higher, you can animate or reassert control over one additional horde.

When you cast this spell, and as an action on subsequent turns, you can move a puppeted creature up to its movement speed to a point you can see. If it ends this movement within 5 feet of a creature, that creature can use its reaction to make a melee attack against the target.

Horde. The horde can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the horde can move through any opening large enough for a Medium zombie. The horde can use its action to consume a single humanoid corpse within its reach and regain 4 hit points, but it otherwise can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Deadline
6th-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (60-foot line)
- Components: V, S, M (amber dust and fossil bonemeal worth 100 gp)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
You fire a 1-inch-wide, 60-foot-long beam of senescent energy that pierces through creatures, objects, and structures alike at untraceable speed. An object or structure pierced by the beam has its AC permanently reduced by 4 if it is inorganic. If it is organic, the point pierced by the beam and the object or structure's material within 1 foot of the beam decays and ages until it is brittle enough to break by a light touch.
A creature pierced by the beam must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 10d8 necrotic damage and instantly ages 2d4 x 10 years on a failed save; if this damage would reduce a creature to 0 hit points, it falls unconscious and is stable instead of dying, and it ages an additional year for each point of damage it took in excess of its current hit points. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't aged.
The aging can be reversed with the greater restoration spell or more powerful magic, but only if it is cast within 24 hours of failing the saving throw. After that time, only a wish spell can reverse the effect.
Death Grip
2nd-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Choose the corpse of a humanoid you can see within range. You momentarily animate the corpse, and it leaps to within 5 feet of a creature of your choice you can see within 30 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 2d8 bludgeoning damage and be grappled by the corpse. A creature grappled in this way takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage at the start of each of your turns, as the corpse's grip tightens. A creature more than one size larger than the corpse automatically succeeds on the saving throw.
A creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, freeing itself or another creature from the grapple on a success. If a creature succeeds on the initial save, or escapes from the grapple, the spell ends for the creature and the corpse falls lifeless once again. The spell also ends for a creature if the corpse is within the area of an effect that would turn undead, if the corpse is destroyed, or if a creature targets the corpse with a gentle repose spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional corpse for each slot level above 2nd. The corpses must be within 30 feet of each other, and can't grapple the same creature.
Divine Facade
6th-level Illusion
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (an item to represent your faith)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Cleric
You picture a representation of your divine domain in your mind, such as that of deity's avatar, a powerful creature aligned with the domain, or a physical manifestation of the domain, creating an Illusion of that representation in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. You choose its size, up to Huge, and the Illusion lasts for the spells duration and occupies its space, as if it were a creature.
When the Illusion appears, any creatures of your choice that can see it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of it for the duration of the spell. If a creature frightened by the facade ends its turn in a location without line of sight to the Illusion, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success.
A hostile creature that moves to a space within 10 feet of the Illusion for the first time on its turn must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw. It makes this saving throw at disadvantage if it is frightened. The creature takes 8d10 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Though the Illusion is tangible, attacks miss it automatically, it succeeds on all saving throws, and it is immune to all damage and conditions. A creature that uses an action to examine the Illusion can determine that it is an Illusion by succeeding on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the Illusion for what it is, the creature can see through it and has advantage on saving throws against its damaging effect.
Earth Walk
5th-level Transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- Classes: Druid, Ranger
You touch a creature. Until the spell ends, the target gains a burrowing speed equal to its walking speed, and difficult terrain made of earth or stone doesn't cost it extra movement. The creature can burrow through unworked earth and stone, and it doesn't disturb the material it moves through while burrowing. If the target is burrowed when the spell ends, it is immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space it can occupy, and it takes bludgeoning damage equal to twice the number of feet it travels to reach that space.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 5th.
Echolocate
1st-level Transmutation (ritual)

Eldritch Altar
8th-level Conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 hour
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a drop of blood from each creature that would enter the location)
- Duration: 24 hours
- Classes: Warlock
You raise walls into existence on flat ground you can see within range. You can shape these walls as you wish, creating a temple, altar, chamber, or a similar structure. The structure must fit within a 120-foot cube, but you decide its layout and appearance, decorated inside as you see fit.
The structure must have at least one entrance, taking the form of a door or gateway, and a space of your choice no smaller than a 5-foot cube on the ground within the structure must be occupied by a reflective surface, such as a bowl of water, a mirror, or a crystal ball. The spell creates this surface, and you choose its appearance.
Any creature whose blood was used as the material component for the spell's casting can enter the structure freely. While inside the structure, the creature automatically succeeds on ability checks and saving throws made against Illusions, and gains truesight out to a range of 60 feet. When a creature whose blood was not used as the material component for the spell's casting attempts to enter the structure, either through its entrance or via teleportation or extraplanar means, it takes 1d10 force damage and is teleported to an unoccupied but harmless space on the ground up to 15 feet away from the structure.
Additionally, you can spend 10 minutes concentrating on the reflective surface within the structure. If you do so, you can cast the scrying spell, without expending a spell slot or requiring material components. When you cast the spell in this way, the target you choose can be on any plane of existence. If the spell succeeds, the reflective surface displays anything you can see via the spell's sensor. When the spell ends, a creature targeted by the spell learns it was being watched, but not your identity.
Once you use the reflective surface to scry, it shatters, and the structure vanishes as the spell ends. The spell also ends if the structure is targeted by a wish spell, disintegrate spell, or similar magic. The walls of the structure have 150 hit points and are immune to poison and psychic damage.

Choose one creature you can see within range. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, for the duration, the creature loses any of its resistances to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage, or if it has immunity to those damage types, you can instead choose to have its immunity become resistance. On a success, for the duration, the creature loses resistance to your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage. If a creature is not resistant to the chosen damage type, you learn this, but you can't choose a different damage type.
Elemental Vortex
9th-level Conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous

You summon a vortex of energy from the Elemental Chaos in the form of a 30-foot-radius, 150-foot-tall cylinder centered on a point within range. This column spreads around corners. Each creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw as elements of the Chaos whip around them. On a failed save, a creature takes 8d6 cold damage, 8d6 fire damage, 8d6 lightning damage, and 8d6 bludgeoning damage and is hurled 60 feet in a random direction. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not hurled.
Nonmagical objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried are pulled into the vortex and disintegrated.

- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a wooden baton)
- Duration: 10 minutes
- Classes: Bard
You summon a spectral ensemble of floating instruments that fit within a 20-foot cube centered on a point within range. When you cast the spell, and as an action for its duration, you can cause the instruments to play music of your choice, or stop. You can even have the music follow a creature's lead if they dance, sing, or play an instrument within 20 feet of the ensemble. A creature that is present for the ensemble's performance for the full duration gains 2d10 temporary hit points. Each time the orchestra begins playing music, you can choose one of the options below. The effect lasts until the ensemble stops playing.
Captivating Aria. Hostile creatures within 20 feet of the ensemble that can hear it have disadvantage on saving throws to avoid being charmed. If a hostile creature starts its turn in this area and is charmed, it must make a Wisdom saving throw if it can hear it. On a failure, it moves up to its speed towards the orchestra if it can and ends its turn.
Jubilant Waltz. Friendly creatures within 20 feet of the ensemble that can hear it have their speed doubled, and their movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
Sorrowful Dirge. Hostile creatures within 20 feet of the ensemble that can hear it have disadvantage on saving throws to avoid being frightened.

- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Choose a creature you can see within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw or be suffused with an aura of untrustworthiness for the duration. A creature that can't speak or otherwise intelligibly communicate automatically succeeds on its save. Until the spell ends, any idea or statement a suffused creature says, pantomimes, or otherwise attempts to relate to others is perceived as a lie, any question it poses (verbally or otherwise) is viewed as dishonest or cynical, it has disadvantage on Charisma checks, and magic that would determine whether it is telling the truth indicates that it is lying, regardless of the candor of its statements.
Force Collar
3rd-level Conjuration

A creature restrained or grappled by the chain can use its action make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it loosens the chains, becoming grappled instead of restrained, or becoming free instead of grappled. A creature grappled by the chains can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Choose a point on the ground you can see within range. A layer of frost settles on the ground within 50 feet of that point, turning it into difficult terrain for the spell's duration.
When the frost appears, each creature standing in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have its speed become 0 as the ice freezes it in place for the spell's duration. A creature frozen in place in this way takes 3d8 cold damage at the start of each of its turns, and can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 7th level or higher, a creature that fails its initial saving throw is restrained instead of having its speed reduced to 0. When you cast this spell with a 9th level spell slot, a creature that fails its initial saving throw is petrified instead of having its speed reduced to 0.

The area within the mist is heavily obscured, and while it remains you can use your action to cause the mist to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. The mist lasts for the duration, until disturbed by a Small or larger creature's movement, or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You point forward and create a three-dimensional projection of an enormous version of yourself within range. The projection fills a 100-foot cube and is immune to all damage and conditions. Each creature that can see the projection must immediately make an Intelligence saving throw or be frightened of it for the duration. A creature that knows this projection is an Illusion automatically succeeds on this saving throw.
On your turn, you can mentally command the projection to move up to 100 feet in any direction (no action required). You can also see through your projection's eyes whenever you close your own, and you can channel your voice through the projection when you speak.

The projection can mimic any movements you make, and can interact with objects as if it were physically present. The projection can lift, carry, and drag up to 25,000 pounds.
As an action, you can cause your projection to touch a nonmagical object or structure within 30 feet of it. A portion of the target that fits within a 30-foot cube is destroyed.

You forge a telepathic link among up to twelve willing creatures of your choice within range, psychically linking each creature to all the others for the duration. A creature with an Intelligence score of 2 or less isn't affected by this spell.
Until the spell ends, the targets can communicate telepathically through the bond, whether or not they have a common language. The communication is possible over any distance on the same plane of existence; however, the link is greatly weakened between planes: a creature that is part of the link can only send a short message of 25 words or less between planes. Once a creature has sent this message, it can't send another message between planes this way until the spell is cast on it again.
Greenscreen

Hostile creatures that start their turn in the area, or enter it for the first time on a turn, must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 4d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
As an action, you can dismiss the spell in a spectacle of divine wrath. Each creature within the area is knocked prone, and must make a Constitution saving throw.

You summon six spectral hounds in unoccupied spaces within range. Each hound uses the statistics of a wolf, except it has a speed of 60 feet, resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and a bonus to its Wisdom (Perception) checks equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Each hound is considered Fey, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The hounds are friendly to you and your companions. They take their turns in the initiative order immediately after yours, and they do so as a group. They obey any commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
While a hound is on the same plane of existence as you, you always know its location relative to you, and you can communicate with it or any number of the hounds telepathically. The hounds can telepathically communicate simple emotions and concepts back to you. Additionally, as an action, you can see through a hound's eyes and hear what it hears until you choose not to (no action required), or until you use your action to choose a different hound. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration is 24 hours and doesn't require concentration.
Icicle Spear
4th-level Evocation
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, M (a melee weapon)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Ranger
You cause water to condensate and freeze around your weapon in a razor-sharp mass of ice. For the duration, your melee attacks with the icy weapon deal an additional 1d6 cold damage and 1d6 piercing damage; when a creature takes this cold damage, it can't take reactions and its speed is halved until the end of its next turn.
You can use your action to launch the ice as a ranged weapon attack (range 30/60), using the same properties and damage die as your weapon; whether you hit or miss, the area around the point it struck flash-freezes, and the spell ends. Each creature within 10 feet of your attack's target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 cold damage and is petrified in a block of ice until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half damage and isn't petrified.

The fighting spirit of a willing creature you touch is brought forth. Until the spell ends, the creature gains proficiency in all simple and martial weapons, and once per turn when it makes a weapon attack, it can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the attack and damage roll.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd-level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

You store some of the momentum and vibrations imparted into you, preparing to release them for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage until the end of the current turn.

Keepsake
Abjuration cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Until dispelled
- Classes: Cleric, Wizard
You touch a nonmagical Small or smaller object and ward it from destruction. For the duration, any damage the object takes is halved. While you're holding the affected object, you can't be forced to drop it by any means, and a creature attempting to take it from you must first succeed on a Strength ability check against your spell save DC. Finally, you always know the object's location, provided you are both on the same place of existence. The spell ends early if you cast it again.
Legion’s Assault
8th-level Conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
You surround a creature or object you can see within range with dozens of floating weapons, that move through the air with masterful precision. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d8 bludgeoning damage, 5d8 piercing damage, and 5d8 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Regardless of the result, the target is grappled until it frees itself. A creature grappled by the weapons can make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself and the weapons disappear. On a failure, it takes 1d8 slashing damage and 1d8 piercing damage. An object targeted by this spell automatically fails the saving throw, and the spell deals double damage to structures that are Large or larger.
Life Tap
1st-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (an empty vial worth 1 gp)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Druid, Ranger
You touch a creature that is not an Undead or a Construct, pulling the life from within it. Make a melee spell attack. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage, and the vial is filled with Life Tap Poison, which lasts for 1 hour before becoming water.
Life Tap Poison can be applied to a piercing or slashing weapon as an action. The next time that weapon hits a creature while the poison remains potent, the creature takes 2d6 poison damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd-level or higher, the necrotic and poison damage each increase by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
Magic Parchment
Conjuration cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a piece of leather)
- Duration: 1 hour
- Classes: Wizard
You conjure a single sheet of blank parchment into your hand, which remains for the spell's duration or until it takes any damage. The parchment also vanishes if you dismiss it as an action, or if you cast this spell again.
As an action while holding the parchment, you can have it begin recording the voices of any creature within 10 feet of it. When you do so, you can instead specify the individuals it can record. Ink magically appears on the parchment, documenting anything that can be written that is said aloud. The recording stops when the parchment is full, or if you use your action to stop it. When you cast this spell again, you can have it return any piece of parchment you have conjured before instead of a blank piece of parchment. The returned parchment contains any information written previously, and appears undamaged if it was destroyed. Attempts to copy spells onto the parchment or to create a spell scroll using it fail.
Mass Modify Memory
9th-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 1 mile
- Components: V, S, M (a crystal ball worth 5,000 gp)
- Duration: Special
- Classes: Bard, Wizard
You attempt to reshape the memories of creatures within range. Each creature of your choice must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature has advantage on the saving throw if you are fighting it or its allies. On a failure, the creature is charmed and incapacitated. A charmed creature is unaware of its surroundings and the passage of time. If a charmed creature takes damage or is targeted by a spell, this spell ends for it and its memory is unaffected.
You can telepathically affect a target's memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes, provided the creature understands at least one language. You can choose to implant a reshaping of the same event for each target over the course of 1 minute, or a different event for each target over the course of 1 hour. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and exacting detail, change its memory of the details of the event, or create a memory of some other event. A creature's mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description. If the spell ends before you have finished describing the modified memories, the creature's memory isn't altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the spell ends.
A modified memory doesn't necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature's natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The GM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.
Only a wish spell cast on the target restores the creature's true memory.
Metamorphose
Transmutation cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: 1 hour
- Classes: Sorcerer
You change one physical characteristic of your body, such as your height, a facial feature, hair length or color, or the sound of your voice. Your statistics remain the same, as well as your basic shape. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three characteristics changed at a time, and you can dismiss any or all of these changes as an action.
Museum of the Bards

- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, M (a drop of paint, a piece of marble, and a sheet of music written with ink worth 25 gp)
- Duration: 24 hours
- Classes: Bard
You create a door to a demiplanar museum in a space within range. The museum lasts for the duration. You make all decisions about the museum's appearance, and you can designate up to 10 creatures, including yourself, who can enter the museum.
When you make the museum, you can create any floor plan you like, but the space can't exceed 12 rooms, each of which must fit within a 20-foot cube. Each room is decorated as you choose, containing art pieces, statues, music, or illusory performances of your choice. It contains sufficient food for each creature, which is delivered by invisible servants carrying trays throughout the museum, and beautiful music plays in each room, excluding those with musical performances.
A creature who spends at least 1 hour in the museum gains 2d10 temporary hit points as it leaves the museum. Additionally, while in the museum, you can use your bonus action to grant a creature within 60 feet of you two d10s. While the creature remains in the museum, it can roll both d10s and add the result of the higher die to an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. The d10s are then expended and the targeted creature can't be targeted by this bonus action until you cast this spell again.
When the spell ends, any creatures inside the demiplane are expelled into the open spaces nearest to the entrance.
Nyctinastic Bloom
8th-level Transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (15-foot radius)
- Components: V, S
- Duration: 10 minutes
- Classes: Druid
A magnificent 15-foot-radius flower blooms at your feet, sprouting Small floating seedlings in the air. Choose up to five unoccupied spaces within 15 feet of the flower. A floating seedling forms in each and hovers there for the spell's duration. If a hostile creature enters a space within 20 feet of a seedling, it must immediately make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d10 piercing damage and be pulled until it is within 5 feet of the seedling.
As a bonus action while you are standing on the flower, you can cause its petals to curl up and surround you and up to five other willing creatures of your choice that can fit within the flower. Any other creatures on the flower are shunted to the nearest unoccupied space outside its area. Choose a point on the ground within 150 feet of you that you have seen within the last minute. The flower disappears into the ground below you, and reappears in the chosen space. If the flower can't fit in the chosen space, this movement instead fails, and it reblooms at its previous destination. Any seedlings are brought with the flower, reforming in unoccupied spaces of your choice within 15 feet of the flower.
For the duration of this spell, you can teleport in this way again as a bonus action, reblooming the flower and seedlings each time.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th-level, the damage increases by 1d10.

- Duration: 8 hours
- Classes: Bard, Wizard
As you cast this spell, you draw a 5-foot-wide glyph on the ground, wall, or other surface. A Small or larger creature that enters the glyph's space (if it is on the ground) or touches it (if it is on another surface) must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be sealed within the glyph for 10 minutes. The glyph doesn't activate while it is covered, such as by fabric or parchment.
A sealed creature has total cover from all attacks and effects, and it is incapacitated, though it can perceive the area around it as if it was standing in the glyph's space.
After each minute the creature is sealed within the glyph, it can make a Charisma saving throw to break the seal, reappearing in the glyph's space or the nearest unoccupied space on a success. The creature is also released if the seal is destroyed, such as by making an attack against the surface it was drawn upon.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, the duration of the spell increases to 24 hours, when you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher the spell lasts until it is dispelled.
Phantom Daggers
Illusion cantrip

- Range: 20 feet
- Components: V, M (a dagger)

You create an illusory outline of a dagger around the one used as the material component of the spell. As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a ranged attack with a dagger against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise, the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects and must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it believes two more daggers are following in the wake of the original, taking 2d4 psychic damage as the phantom daggers strike it.
The spell creates more than two phantom daggers when you reach higher levels: three (3d4) at 5th level, four (4d4) at 11th level, and five (5d4) at 17th level.

Power Word Repel
8th-level Abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You speak a word of power that repels the influence and very existence of one creature you can see within range. If the target has 150 hit points or fewer, it can't willingly move in a direction of your choice, it can't target a creature, object, or structure in that direction with an attack or effect, and can't include such a creature, object, or structure in the area of any effect or spell. In addition, it is immediately flung 150 feet in the direction opposite of your chosen direction.
A repelled creature can make a Charisma saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the spell's effect ends on it.
Power Word Wait
6th-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
You speak a word of power that causes a creature's body to slow down. If the target has 150 hit points or fewer, its speed is reduced to 0, it can't benefit from any bonuses to its speed, and it can't take reactions. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.
A target suffering this effect can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Primordial Rainforest
9th-level Transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action or 8 hours
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a primordial seed worth 2,500 gp, which is consumed)
- Duration: Special
- Classes: Druid
You plant this seed in the ground within range. There are two possible uses for this spell, granting immediate or long-term benefits.
If you cast this spell using 1 action, a rainforest sprouts from the seed, filling a 150-foot cube for 10 minutes, or until you lose concentration. Structures and nonmagical objects in the area are immediately overgrown and ruined, nonmagical bright light in the area becomes dim light as it is blocked from hundreds of angles, and nonmagical fire is snuffed out by a rain that doesn't cease.
You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell's area from being affected.
A creature moving through the area must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. In addition, as a bonus action on your turn, you can do any of the following while you remain in the rainforest for the duration:
- Extend your senses into the forest to learn the location of every creature in the area. Creatures that are hidden from Divination are immune to this effect.
- Direct a vine within the spell's area to lash out at a creature within 30 feet of it that you can see. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be pulled 20 feet directly toward the vine. Alternatively, you can choose for the creature to instead be restrained by the vine until the start of your next turn.
- Use 5 feet of movement to enter a tree and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, either pass into another tree within the spell's area or step out of the tree you're in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 5 feet of the destination tree, using another 5 feet of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 5 feet of the tree you entered.
If you cast this spell over 8 hours, the rainforest fills a 1-mile cube, it gains all of its immediate benefits, and it can't be dispelled except by a wish spell. While within the forest, you can use an action to expend a spell slot of 5th-level or higher and reawaken the forest. For 10 minutes, or until you lose concentration, you gain the benefits of the spell as if you had cast it with a casting time of 1 action.
Ranger's Mark
5th-level Divination
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Ranger
You choose a creature you can see within range and mystically mark it as your true quarry. Until the spell ends, you have advantage on attack rolls against the creature, your attacks deal an extra 3d10 damage to it, and you know its location while you are on the same plane of existence. While you have this knowledge, the target can’t become hidden from you, and if it’s invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition against you.
Ray of Lethargy
3rd-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
A pink ray of enervating energy springs from your finger toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 necrotic damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target's speed can't exceed 10 feet.
At the end of each of the target's turns, it can make a Constitution saving throw against the spell. On a success, the spell ends.
Reanimation

- Components: V, S, M (a crown of black iron studded with gems, worth at least 1,000 gp per Hit Die of the target, which the spell consumes)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Cleric, Warlock, Wizard
You reanimate a dead creature you touch, placing the crown used as the component for this spell on its head and gifting it with life beyond death. If its soul is free, the creature can make a Charisma saving throw, stopping the reanimation on a success. If it fails its saving throw, or if its soul isn't free, the creature returns to life with all its hit points, but without its soul. When reanimated this way, the creature is an Undead, and its mental ability scores become 6. The creature also gains immunity to poison and exhaustion, and doesn't need air, food, drink, or sleep. If you die, the creature dies and the spell ends.
The spell cures all normal diseases afflicting the creature when it died, closes all mortal wounds, and restores any missing body parts.
The creature is under your control, and you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to mentally command it if it is on the same plane of existence as you. If you give no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
If you already have a creature under your control from this spell, you must make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. The DC increases by 5 for each creature you have controlled beyond the first. On a failure, the spell fails, and you die instantly as your soul is ripped from your body. Nothing short of a wish spell or divine intervention can prevent it.
The soul of a reanimated creature can't be truly resurrected until its reanimated corpse dies.

- Classes: Warlock, Wizard
You animate the spell's material component with malice, causing it to spring to life and immediately dart towards a creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or take 1d6 necrotic damage and have the object latch onto or embed itself in it. For the duration, the creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. The target, or a creature within 5 feet of it, can use its action to remove the object, ending the spell. If the creature succeeds on its saving throw or the spell ends, the object falls lifeless to the ground in the target's space.
This spell's initial damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (two or more glass orbs each worth at least 5 gp)
- Duration: 8 hours
- Classes: Bard, Ranger, Sorcerer, Wizard
You touch the glass orbs and imbue them with elemental magic. You or another creature can make a ranged spell attack with one of the orbs by throwing it or hurling it with a sling. If thrown, an orb has a range of 60 feet. If someone else attacks with an orb, 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 orb smashes and explodes with a burst of sound that can be heard up to 200 feet away. The target and each creature within 10 feet of the point that the orb smashed must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 3d6 thunder damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the number of glass orbs that can be affected increases by two for each slot level above 2nd.
Rigor Mortis

- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a holy symbol)
- Duration: Instantaneous or special
- Classes: Cleric
You raise your holy symbol and utter a divine word. All Undead within range must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be petrified. A petrified creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success.

Rubberize
4th-level Transmutation

- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a spring)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

For the spell's duration, the creature takes no damage from falling, its jump distance is tripled, and whenever the creature is hit with a weapon attack, it can choose to be pushed up to 10 feet away from the attacker. Additionally, if the attack was a melee weapon attack, the attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw as the weapon springs back towards it. On a failed save, it takes damage equal to the weapon's damage dice, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon.
Ruin
8th-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a skull encrusted with gems with a total worth of at least 200 gp per Hit Die of the target)

- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (100-foot cube)
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You coax the essence from the living to drench the surrounding area. Each creature within a 100-foot cube originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 necrotic and 4d8 slashing damage as its blood is torn from its body. A creature that doesn't have blood, such as an Elemental, Construct, or Undead, is immune to this damage. The blood then coalesces at the top of the cube, whirling and churning in midair streams and crimson clouds. If no creature took damage when you cast this spell, it fails and immediately ends.
You unleash the blood as a torrent upon the spell's area, sickening your enemies within and interfering with the transmission of positive energy. Each creature you choose that starts its turn within the cube is poisoned and can't regain hit points until the spell ends. A creature that is outside the spell's area can make a Charisma saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the spell's effects on it.
When the spell ends, all the collected blood drops to the ground; each creature inside the spell's area drops prone, and flames, both nonmagical and those created by a spell of 5th-level or lower, are extinguished within the spell's area.

You drop to 1 hit point instead and gain temporary hit points equal to 4d12 + your spellcasting ability modifier for the duration. Until the spell ends, you have advantage on attack rolls you make, and when you roll for damage, you can roll one additional damage die and add it to the result. The spell ends early if you ever have more than 1 hit point.

- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Warlock
You call forth a droplet of the energy that created the multiverse, capable of returning any living or nonliving entity around it to the primordial components that brought it into being. As part of casting this spell, and as an action on each of your turns for the duration, you can cause the droplet to release a pulse of nascent energy in every direction.
Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that doesn't have total cover from you must make a Constitution and Charisma saving throw. A creature that fails its Constitution saving throw takes 5d6 acid damage and 5d6 radiant damage as its body is suffused with life yet torn apart into its basic components, or half as much damage on a success. A creature that fails its Charisma saving throw is frightened by you until the end of your next turn.
You can also reduce any nonmagical objects that aren't being worn or carried or any structure that is completely within the pulse's area to dust. Any creature behind or inside the object or structure still gains the benefit of total cover against the pulse that destroyed it.
Seeking Strike

You throw a weapon or fire a piece of ammunition and verbally declare a creature that you can see or have seen in the past minute. If the target is within the missile's range and there is a path wide enough for it to travel to the target, it flies toward the target, moving around corners. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes the missile's normal damage plus an extra 6d8 damage of the same type and you learn the target's location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, you don't learn its location, and the missile stops and falls.
Shunt
2nd-level Transmutation

If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the creature you choose can be one size larger for each slot level above 2nd.

You control and draw the air from one creature you can see within range. For the spell's duration, the target must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a failed save, the target can't breathe or speak until the spell ends, and it begins to suffocate. Each time the creature succeeds on its Constitution saving throw, it regains an additional turn to breathe before it falls unconscious. Once a creature succeeds on its Constitution saving throw three times, the spell ends. If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points while suffering the effects of this spell, it dies instantly.
The spell fails if you cast it on a creature that doesn't need to breathe.

A creature who starts its turn in the area or enters it for the first time must make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature that needs to drink and has not had anything to drink in the last 24 hours has disadvantage on its save. On a failure, the creature is charmed for the duration. While charmed in this way, the creature must use its movement to move toward the water source, and its action can only be used to attempt to drink from the water. A creature who fails this save can make another save at the end of each of its turns. If it has taken damage since the end of its last turn, it has advantage on this saving throw.

On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, is deafened for only 1 minute, and is pushed 30 feet.

You attempt to horrifically contort the body of a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell.

- You fuse the creature's body into a single writhing mass. While cursed, the target is restrained.
- You cover the creature's eyes and ears with pustulent tumors. While cursed, the target is blinded and deafened.
- You bloat the creature with vitriolic toxins. While cursed, the creature is poisoned, its speed is halved, and if it is reduced to 0 hit points, it explodes, destroying its body and killing it instantly. A creature within 15 feet of the target when it explodes must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d6 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- You twist the creature's visage into a disgusting sight to behold. While cursed, any creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the target, or enters within 20 feet of it for the first time and can see it, must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the target until the spell ends. A creature can repeat its saving throw if it ends its turn out of line of sight to the target, becoming no longer frightened on a success.
Additionally, while cursed, the target takes 3d6 slashing damage at the start of each of its turns as the magic tears and twists its form. A remove curse spell of 5th level or higher cast on the target ends the spell.
Ultimatum

- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a sundial carved from corundum worth at least 1,500 gp)
- Duration: 30 days
- Classes: Bard, Cleric, Warlock, Wizard
You bind a creature to action, its fate resting on its choice. Choose a creature you can see within range when you finish casting this spell. Then choose a spell that you can cast that is 5th level or lower, has a casting time of 1 action or 1 bonus action, affects one or more creatures, and doesn't require an attack roll.
You cast that spell, called the bound spell, as part of casting ultimatum, expending spell slots for both, but the bound spell doesn’t come into effect. Instead, it takes effect, targeting the creature upon which ultimatum is cast, when the target either takes a certain action or fails to take a certain action in a circumstance you describe when you cast the two spells. For example, an ultimatum cast with confusion might stipulate that confusion comes into effect if the target ever speaks of a certain subject.
The bound spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then ultimatum ends. The target makes its saving throw against the spell, if any, at the time the circumstance occurs.
The bound spell takes effect only on the target of this spell, even if it could normally target more than one creature. You can only have one bound spell active at a time. If you cast this spell again, the effect of any other ultimatum spell you have cast ends on its target. A remove curse spell will also end the effect on the target.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the bound spell can be one level higher for each slot level above 6th.
Vex
4th-level Enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a whistle)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Bard, Warlock
You become the source of great ire for those around you. Each creature within range that can see or hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. An ally automatically succeeds on this saving throw. A creature that fails this saving throw becomes hostile to you for the duration. If the creature was already hostile to you, it instead becomes driven to inflict physical harm upon you, and must use all of its movement on each of its turns to move within reach of you, taking the Dash action if necessary. The only other actions it can take are to attack you as best it can, or escape from an effect preventing it from moving toward you. The spell ends for a creature if it ends its turn unable to see or hear you.
Wail of Dolor
3rd-level Transmutation

- Range: Self (30-foot line)
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Bard, Druid, Sorcerer
You amplify your voice and let out a scream or shout when you feel pain, directing and focusing it into a 30-foot-long, 10-foot-wide line in a direction of your choice. Each creature within the line must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 thunder damage and is pushed away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed. Unsecured objects that are completely within the spell's area are also pushed 30 feet from you. Regardless of whether a creature succeeds or fails its saving throw, it is deafened until the end of its next turn.
This spell's power increases when you are in more pain. If the triggering damage was equal to or greater than half your hit point maximum, or was at least 40 damage, the line is instead 60 feet long, the distance creatures and objects are pushed by the spell is doubled, and the spell deals an additional 1d8 thunder damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. The damage instead increases by
2d8 per level of the spell slot above 3rd if the triggering
damage was equal to or greater than half your hit
point maximum, or was at least 40 damage.
Walking Woods
4th-level Transmutation (ritual)
- Casting Time: 1 action or 1 minute
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Special
- Classes: Druid
This spell allows you manipulate plants into moving at your direction. There are two possible uses for the spell, granting either immediate or long term benefits.
If you cast this spell using 1 action, choose a point within range. Each plant you choose within 20 feet of that point immediately moves to an unoccupied space of your choice within the spell's range. You can also target any Plant creatures you can see within range with this spell, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature must immediately use its reaction, if it can, to move up to its speed in a direction of your choice. The creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit.
If you cast this spell over 1 minute, you gain sustained control of each plant within the spell's range for 1 hour, requiring concentration. When you cast the spell, and as an action on each of your turns for its duration, you can move all plant-life within the spell's range to an unoccupied space a distance away from the plant equal to or less then the spell's range.
A plant can only move to a space capable of sustaining it, such as an area of earth for a tree. A plant's movement doesn't have enough force to cause damage, and if a creature would be surrounded on all sides by plants as a result, it can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it is harmlessly pushed to the nearest unoccupied space outside of the enclosing plants.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the range of the spell increases by 30 feet for each slot level above 3rd.

The symbol also disappears if you or the marked creature dismiss it as an action, or if you cast this spell again. You choose the symbol's appearance, as well as if it is visible to others. While the marked creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you know the direction to it and whether it has at least 1 hit point. Once during the spell's duration, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, you can target the creature even if it isn't within your reach. The creature must be on the same plane of existence as you. The spell then ends.

It is a simple ranged weapon (range 80/320) with which you are proficient, and when you pull back its draw, an arrow of moonlight appears on the string. These magical arrows deal 2d8 radiant damage on a hit. In addition, when you use this bow to attack a target that is using foliage or wood for any amount of cover, including full cover, it does not gain the benefits of cover from your attacks.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 3rd- or 4th-level spell slot, the damage increases to 3d8. When you cast it using a 5th- or 6th-level spell slot, the damage increases to 4d8. When you cast it using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases to 5d8.
Wind Scythe

On a hit, the creature takes 2d4 piercing damage and 4d4 necrotic damage, and its speed is reduced by 20 feet until the end of your next turn. If you hit a Plant creature, water elemental, or a similar creature (at the GM's discretion), you deal the maximum amount of necrotic damage instead of rolling.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the necrotic damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 2nd.
Wring Out
5th-level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: S, M (a sponge or dishrag)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock
You raise your hand at one creature you can see within range and clench your fist tightly, forcing it to make a Constitution saving throw. An Ooze, water elemental, or similar creature (at the GM's discretion) has disadvantage on its save, though the spell fails if the target is a Construct, Undead, or other creature devoid of fluids.
On a failed save, the creature's blood (or other vital liquid) bursts from it. The target then gains a level of exhaustion, takes necrotic damage equal to four rolls of its largest Hit Die, and then loses that many hit dice. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it instead gains two levels of exhaustion, or three levels if it has no remaining hit dice. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and doesn't gain a level of exhaustion.
Zealot's Refusal
5th-level Abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 250 gp)
- Duration: 8 Hours
- Classes: Cleric, Paladin
You meditate on the importance of your life and infuse yourself with a measure of protection
against death.
The first time you would drop to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage, the material component of the spell explodes in divine energy and is consumed. You are restored to 25 hit points. In addition, you and each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that you can see regains 1d8 hit points and can add 1d4 to attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of your next turn. If the spell is still in effect when you are subjected to an effect that would kill you instantly without dealing damage, that effect is instead negated as the diamond explodes. In addition, you and each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that you can see regains 1d8 hit points and can add 1d4 to attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of your next turn, and the spell ends.
Also, zealot's refusal ends on you if its material component is ever not on your person.

Bard: College of Puppetry
Bards of the College of Puppetry are master manipulators, individuals who revel in the subtlety of their art. While other bards might enjoy the applause of their audiences or the respect of their peers, these puppeteers enjoy being the guiding hand, the shadow behind the curtain.
Bards of this college gather like others, but typically only to hold grand competitions or induct new members into their illustrious numbers. Each bard will play a performance, hoping to establish themselves as a master puppeteer. Joint performances are not unheard of, but they are rare, a result of their solitary mindsets.
Their goals are varied, but they often involve pushing and pulling the right people into the right places at the right times. Carefully orchestrated, their masterpiece is perfect only when no one is even aware of its existence. Whether the result be the upheaval of an age or a simple heist, the delight is in the craft itself.

The act of motion is performed by all living things, one of the base signs of life itself, and it has many manifestations. The gods of motion inspire their followers to recognize how all motion can cause further motion in other creatures or objects, to see how all is connected through even the smallest actions.
Many of these clerics never stop moving, by means of constant traveling and sometimes being incapable of sitting still. While others are careful with their movements, only being in motion when they believe they understand what impacts their movement will have.

Cleric: Music Domain
Music is a staple of cultures and civilizations across the multiverse, a rhythm and melody that brings joy, sorrow, and every emotion in between. The gods of music—including Lugh, Apollo, Dionysus, Bes, and Balder—value the range of impacts music has on all creatures, even those that don't or can't recognize the mathematics, order, and science that establish its songs.
Many of these gods also recognize the importance of discordance within the domain. They understand that music isn't and shouldn't always be pleasing, that in cacophony there is meaning and in that meaning emotion. Clerics of the music domain spread this message, sometimes in hymns, and other times in chaotic rabble.

Druid: Circle of Veins
Druids of the Circle of Veins hold the belief that the worlds of the Material Plane, and indeed all planes, are alive. They can discern the channels through which the lifeblood of the planet flows, the natural magic that suffuses all life. These druids appreciate both the scale of these flowing reservoirs and the awe-inspiring, if untamable, power they house.

Paladin: Oath of Sophistication
The Oath of Sophistication binds paladins to protect the value of high society, material possessions, and once-in-a-life-time opportunities. Though they are often called vain, sometimes even by other paladins, these paladins are not necessarily obsessed with their place in the things they protect. They recognize the importance of high society's continuation and the means by which it can be made available to all.
More than perhaps any other oath, the oath of sophistication encourages its paladins to be charitable, critical of wasted opportunity, and careful with their words and intentions.
Tenets of Sophistication
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Sophistication vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Charitable. No matter their station in life, others can always benefit from help. Be ever willing to lend aid to those who need it.
Charming. To be sophisticated is to charm.
Decisive. Opportunities and experience flit through life often but once. Be ready to embrace the unexpected.
Intentional. Sophistication begets observation. Speak and act always as if someone watches.

Polis sweepers consider cities to be ecosystems all their own, with food chains to respect and imbalances to correct.

- Sounds you create within range last for up to 1 minute rather than instantaneously, and you can use your bonus action to alter the sounds you make.
- The verbal component for the spell can be any word, so long as it is spoken at a whisper, that you can choose to be heard as a whisper by anyone within the spell's range.
Additionally, when you use your action to cast thaumaturgy to create an audible effect, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) and Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks you make until the end of your next turn.
Sorcerer: Blight Hand
Your innate magic is a magical rot, a sort of disease that befouled a place so deeply that it seeped into the land and spread to those born within it. Most often, this corruption stems from workings of intense necromancy practiced in the wilderness, where such magic could infect the plants and animals that people subsisted on without their knowledge. But it is also known to reside deep within the earth, occasionally manifesting alongside plagues and natural blights, infecting children that reside near such affected areas. Whatever the cause, the darker side of nature works through you, spreading rot and undeath by your hand.
Blight Spells
1st-level Blight Hand feature
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Blight Spells table. These spells count as sorcerer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be a Conjuration or Necromancy spell from the druid or wizard spell list.
Blight Spells
Sorcerer Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | entangle, life tapOES |
3rd | death gripOES, withering spikeOES |
5th | animate dead, toxicityOES |
7th | blight, create undead beastOES |
9th | contagion, wring outOES |
Borne of Rot and Ruin
1st-level Blight Hand feature
The natural necromantic energy that fills your heart protects you against its touch and allows you to affect the natural world in unnatural ways. You are immune to disease, and you have advantage on saving throws against poison.
Additionally, you learn the druidcraft cantrip, which counts as a sorcerer cantrip for you but doesn't count against your number of sorcerer cantrips known. When you cast druidcraft, you choose from the following additional effects:
- You can instantly make a flower wilt, a seed pod rot, or a leaf age and fall as if in autumn.
- You can create a swarm of Tiny harmless insects. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube.
- You can cause a bowl, plate, or skewer of food to instantly rot and attract bugs.
Rotcaller
1st-level Blight Hand feature
You draw death from the land. As an action, you can touch the ground and pull dead plant matter from deep within it, creating a twig blight in the nearest unoccupied space. A twig blight created in this way is an Undead instead of a Plant, it has a number of hit points equal to 3 + twice your sorcerer level, and it gains a bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and damage rolls equal to your proficiency bonus.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command it and any other Undead under your control. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
The creature is under your control for 24 hours, until it drops to 0 hit points, or until you die, at which points it withers and dies. Your GM has its statistics.
At 10th level, you can create a vine blight in this way. It is an Undead instead of a Plant, it has a number of hit points equal to three times your sorcerer level, and it gains a bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and damage rolls equal to your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
Once you create a creature with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Dessicator
6th-level Blight Hand feature
Like roots, you can absorb some of the negative energy around you. When you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that deals necrotic damage, you can expend a number of sorcery points equal to 1 + the spell's level to regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt to one target of the spell. Alternatively, if you have any Undead creatures under your control within 60 feet of you, you can instead choose for one of those Undead to regain the same amount.
Death's Stride
14th-level Blight Hand feature
Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.
Additionally, as a bonus action, you can cause undead vines and branches to grow from your limbs, reaching out of you like deathly tentacles, for 1 minute or until you choose for them to disappear (no action required). While they remain, you gain the following benefits:
- Your reach extends by 10 feet.
- You gain the benefits of the spider climb spell, and you can walk using your vines and branches instead of your feet.
- You can hover up to 15 feet above your vines and branches.
- You can lift and move an Undead creature under your control and within your reach regardless of its weight.
Heart Root
18th-level Blight Hand feature
You are immune to necrotic damage and poison.
Additionally, as a bonus action, you can siphon the undeath from an Undead you created or control within 60 feet of you. When you do so, you regain a number of hit points up to the total remaining hit points of the Undead. An Undead reduced to 0 by this feature immediately disintegrates.
Sorcerer: Mimetic Bloodline
Although often overlooked as a weak species native to grimy dungeons, mimics can sometimes attain enough power to speak the common tongue. In doing so, they develop the ability to convince passersby that they are in fact useful assets to bring along. In the event that a mimic takes a liking to a particular adventurer, they may bond with that humanoid as their host, assuming the role of the adventurer's clothing and gear.
Your ancestor became so close to their mimic, that it was forever bonded with their bloodline. The power of its mimicry has awakened within you, changing your shape and form.
Mimetic Spells
1st-level Mimetic Bloodline feature
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Mimetic Spells table. These spells count as sorcerer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an Enchantment or a Transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
Mimetic Spells
Sorcerer Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | disguise self, kinetic wardOES |
3rd | alter self, characterizeOES |
5th | aura of candorOES, nondetection |
7th | rubberizeOES, polymorph |
9th | seeming, transmogrifyOES |
Shapechanger
1st-level Mimetic Bloodline feature
You have the innate ability to transform parts of your body. You gain the metamorphose cantrip if you don't already know it, and it has the following additional benefits for you:
- When you change a characteristic of your body, you can instead have a part of it take the appearance of a piece of an object. For instance, you could have your leg resemble a table leg, or your hand appear as the head of a hammer. If you cast this spell three times consecutively to resemble parts of the same object, your body transforms into a perfect recreation of that object until the spell ends, albeit the same size as your normal form. While transformed in this way, you retain all your normal statistics as well as the ability to speak, but your ability to move or take actions is limited by the capabilities of the object. You can end the effect at any time (no action required), and while you are motionless a creature can discern you are not an object by succeeding on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.
- When you change a characteristic of your body, you can also shrink or grow in size, from Medium to Small, or Small to Medium.
- When you would change a characteristic of your body, you can instead transform one of your appendages into a blunt protrusion, quickly attacking with it. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 bludgeoning damage. The appendage then returns to normal.
Pseudopodial Adhesion
6th-level Mimetic Bloodline feature
You have developed pseudopods, viscous and sticky protrusions that you can use to your advantage, both defensively and offensively. You can use these pseudopods to move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free.
Additionally, when you hit a creature you can see with a spell attack, you can choose for one of your pseudopods to reach out and grapple the creature if it is within 30 feet of you. You can't move more than 30 feet away from a creature you have grappled in this way, unless you choose to drag it. The creature can break the grapple by making a successful Strength check against your spell save DC as an action. You can have up to two creatures grappled in this way, though while you are grappling in this way you can't use your pseudopods to move.
When a creature starts its turn while being grappled by one of your pseudopods, you can choose to spend up to 5 sorcery points to crush it as a reaction. For each sorcery point you spend, the creature takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage.
Perfect Falsity
14th-level Mimetic Bloodline feature
When you use your Shapechanger feature to appear as an object and remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from an ordinary object.
Intelligence (Investigation) checks made against spells you cast are made with disadvantage.
Additionally, when you cast the metamorphose spell, you can choose to gain a 30 foot flying, swimming, or walking speed. If you already have the chosen speed, it instead increases by 30 feet. The benefit lasts until the spell ends, or until you use this feature to choose the same or a different benefit.
True Mimicry
18th-level Mimetic Bloodline feature
You learn the true polymorph spell, which counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. For you, true polymorph doesn't require concentration and automatically lasts until dispelled. If you cast this spell on an unwilling creature, it has disadvantage on its save.
If you cast this spell on yourself, you can choose to retain any of your ability scores or statistics, no matter the form. Additionally, you can always speak, no matter the form, as your voice resonates outwards from within it.
Warlock: The Seer
Your patron is a being that sees into what is meant to be unseen and beyond, a creature that sees through time and, perhaps, into different realms. Usually, these entities are entirely mysterious, able to avoid detection and understanding, as they can always see the attempts coming and avoid them.
This being’s motivations and plans will often be impossible to fully understand until they come to fruition, as they act to set up the pieces to reach a specific future that they can see. Those who make pacts with these mystifying patrons often wish to gain the knowledge needed to forge their own fate or to change a destiny they don’t wish to be dealt.
Expanded Spell List
1st-level Seer feature
The Seer lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Seer Expanded Spells
Spell Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | guiding bolt, surveillanceOES |
2nd | augury, moonbeam |
3rd | aura of candorOES, clairvoyance |
4th | aura of unityOES, divination |
5th | commune, legend lore |
Future Spell
1st-level Seer feature
Your patron allows your mind to access magic from an alternative future. You learn a spell that is on your Expanded Spells List that is of a level you can cast, called your Future Spell. You know that spell, it doesn't count against the number of spells you know, and you can cast it as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells from your Expanded Spell List and replace your Future Spell with it, so long as it is of a level you can cast.
Gifted Sight
1st-level Seer feature
You gain the ability to view glimpses of possible futures and partially manifest them in your timeline. You have a pool of d4s that you can spend to aid you and your allies. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.
When you or a friendly creature that you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll a d4, adding the number rolled to the result by spending a die from the pool. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the GM determines if it succeeds or fails.
Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.
Alter Fate
6th-level Seer feature
You can look at potential futures and alter fate’s current course to hinder your enemies. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, but before the result is announced, you can use your reaction to roll 2d4. The creature gains a penalty to its roll equal to the result, and it is marked by fate for 1 minute. While marked in this way, you can roll 2d4 instead of 1d4 when using your Gifted Sight feature to aid a creature making an attack roll or ability check against it.
Once you use this reaction, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Allseer’s Mind
10th-level Seer feature
Your gift of sight reveals what is hidden to you. You are always under the effects of the see invisibility spell unless you choose not to be, you are immune to being blinded, and you can't be surprised while you are conscious.
Impeccable Foresight
14th-level Seer feature
You are able to activate your power and see the immediate future. As an action, you can give yourself this foresight for 1 minute. For the duration, you have advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. Additionally, other creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls made against you for the duration.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until
you finish a long rest.
Warlock: The Sentient Spellbook
There are many ways to animate and awaken that which is insentient or insapient: wish spells, spells that animate, and more esoteric means. In the case of spellbooks, there is even the possibility that the gathering of so much magic into one item can alter its reality, giving it life.
Regardless of how your patron was created, you have formed a pact with a living spellbook. The being's motivations may be as varied as the spells within its pages, or as straightforward as a simple desire for the knowledge or means to free other objects from insentient boredom.
Expanded Spell List
The Sentient Spellbook lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Sentient Spellbook Expanded Spells
Spell Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | identify, magic missile |
2nd | arcanist's magic aura, magic mouth |
3rd | balderdashOES, glyph of warding |
4th | divination, private sanctum |
5th | animate objects, telepathic bond |
Bonus Cantrips
1st-level Sentient Spellbook feature
You learn the magic parchmentOES and transfer loreOES cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they don’t count against your number of cantrips known.
Additionally, when you make a Charisma (Deception), Charisma (Intimidation), or Charisma (Persuasion) check utilizing information that was gathered by one of these cantrips, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).
Scripted Arcanum
1st-level Sentient Spellbook feature
Your patron reveals the secrets of written magic. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don't already have it. In addition, when you use a spell scroll, the written spell is always considered on the warlock spell list for you. If you use a spell scroll to cast a spell of a higher level than you can normally cast, you add your proficiency bonus to the check made to do so.
You can also script magic into your body, much like a living spellbook yourself. Over the course of a long rest, you can script a magical glyph or string of arcane equations onto the surface of your body or a piece of parchment. When you do so, choose a warlock spell that you know. While the script remains, you can cast that spell at its lowest level once without expending a spell slot or material components, causing the script to burn away.
You can only have one spell written in this way at a time. When you reach 10th level, you can script a second spell, but it must be of 3rd-level or lower.
Compendium of Expectations
6th-level Sentient Spellbook feature
Your patron has shared knowledge of spells and their effects. When you make a saving throw against a spell, you can roll a d6 and add the result to your roll.
Give Life
10th-level Sentient Spellbook feature
You learn the awaken spell. It counts as a warlock spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of spells you know. You can also cast it once without requiring material components or expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Whenever you cast this spell, you can target a Small or smaller object. When you do so, the object becomes a creature that uses the Awakened Object stat block, or another stat block of the GM's choosing.
Objectify
14th-level Sentient Spellbook feature
As an action, you can choose a creature you can see within 60 feet. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw as its mind is rewritten with a history of immobile, insentient existence. On a failure, a creature takes 8d10 psychic damage, and until the end of your next turn, its speed becomes 0 and it believes its shape, weight, and composition to be that of an object of your choice. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage, and until the end of your next turn, its movement speed is halved and it has disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity checks.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Expanded Mystic Arcanum
At your GM's discretion, you can choose from an expanded list of spells for your Mystic Arcanum. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for characters with the Sentient Spellbook patron.
Spell Level Spells 6th contingency, guards and wards 7th greater telepathic bondOES, symbol 8th mind blank, ruinOES 9th wish

Wizard: Ritualism
Rituals are near and dear to the heart of many wizards, but to none so much as those that follow the arcane tradition of ritualism. Often called ritualists or rites, wizards of ritualism make it their mission to not only collect the secrets of all ritual magics but to expand the bounds of magic, transforming other spells into rituals in order to become the most efficient wizards they can be.
As adventurers, they consider themselves like multi-tools, often the most prepared to deal with an unexpected situation. On the fields of battle, they use their efficiency to exploit the expectations of their enemies, keeping more of their power in hand for opportunities of battle than the wizards of other traditions.
Ritual Savant
2nd-level Ritualism feature
You can copy a wizard spell with the ritual tag into your spellbook in ten minutes instead of the time it would normally take to transcribe it.
Additionally, you can copy any spell with the ritual tag into your spellbook. When you do so, it becomes a wizard spell for you.
Rite of Efficiency
2nd-level Ritualism feature
You learn a special rite that transforms spells into tools that can be wielded to greater use. Over the course of a long rest, you can choose a spell of 5th-level or lower from your spellbook that has a casting time of 1 action to become a Rite Spell. Your Rite Spell gains the ritual tag until you complete a long rest.
At 6th level, you can choose two Rite Spells over the course of a long rest. At 14th level, you can choose three.
Ritual Resistance
6th-level Ritualism feature
You bind strengthening magics into your spells as you elongate their casting. When you cast a spell that targets you or a friendly creature as a ritual, you can grant the target a bonus to AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) and resistance to a damage type of your choice for the duration of the spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Invaluable Ceremonies
10th-level Ritualism feature
Your knowledge of rituals allows you to exploit their esoteric nature. You can cast a spell with the ritual tag over the course of 1 hour, instead of 10 minutes. When you do so, any material component that would be consumed by the spell is instead maintained, unless it would be consumed to create the spell's effect such as in instant summons.
Additionally, when you cast a spell as a ritual, you can choose to disguise its casting by incorporating mundane practices. When you do so, you appear to performing a mundane task using the ritual's material component, such as writing in a book in the case of illusory script, rather than casting a spell. A creature who wishes to determine what you're doing must spend 1 minute observing you before making an Intelligence (Arcana) check contested by your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature believes you were doing the mundane task, even when the effect of the spell resolves. Further, any creature who is not aware that you are spellcasting and if forced to make as saving throw as a result of your ritual does so with disadvantage.
Unrivaled Efficiency
14th-level Ritualism feature
You can cast a spell as a ritual in one-tenth the amount of time normally required.
Additionally, when you choose your Rite Spells, one of your choices can be of 7th level or lower.
Wizard: Spycraft
Wizards of this tradition focus on magic that allows them to achieve very specific goals; primarily reconnaissance, theft, and sabotage. They use powerful illusions to hide their machinations, as well as Divination magic that lets them gather information unseen and unheard. They make excellent spymasters, working either for themselves or as court wizards for a higher authority that needs their services. Some wizards even use their talents against others of their kind, weaving webs of intrigue that afford them opportunities to steal others' arcane discoveries.
Spycraft Savant
2nd-level Spycraft feature
The time and gold you must spend to copy a spell with the spycraft tag into your spellbook is halved.
Arcane Espionage
2nd-level Spycraft feature
Your magic improves your subtlety. You gain proficiency in the Deception and Stealth skills.
Additionally, you can weave defenses and further subtlety into your deception. While you are invisible, your true form is concealed by Illusion or Transmutation magic, or you are concentrating on a spell with the spycraft spell tag, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Deception or Stealth, and you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).
Identity Swap
6th-level Spycraft feature
You add the characterizeOES spell to your spellbook if it is not there already, it counts as a wizard spell for you, and it gains the spycraft tag. You can cast characterizeOES without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can target only yourself and another willing creature. While you and the target are affected by this casting of characterizeOES, the disguise does not appear magical to divination spells.
Once you cast characterizeoes in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.
Cross-Examination
10th-level Spycraft feature
Your spells loosen the tongues of your enemies. When you cast a wizard spell of 1st-level or higher that requires a saving throw, choose one of the creatures that failed its save; it can't speak a deliberate lie for the spell's duration and knows this fact. If the spell has the spycraft tag, it is instead unaware of its compelled truth.
Additionally, you always know when you are targeted by or are being perceived by a Divination spell. When a creature casts a Divination spell that would perceive, reveal, or otherwise affect you, you can use your reaction to perceive the creature for the duration of the spell, as if by the scrying spell or see invisibility spell; doing so does not blind or deafen you to your own senses. If you succeed on the saving throw against the spell, you can also provide the creature false information about what it would perceive as part of the same reaction, which it believes.
Silent Casting
14th-level Spycraft feature
You can cast spells without drawing attention to yourself. When you cast a spell with the spycraft tag, you can cast it without verbal or somatic components.
Spycraft Spells
The following spells gain the spycraft tag.

Other Options
As I've journeyed, I've chronicled fascinating items, which bestow unto spellcasters incredible abilities. I've seen magicians whose abilities surpass that which should be possible. Some such abilities, items, and feats which allow them such magic are chronicled within this chapter.
Optional Class Features
You gain class features in the Player’s Handbook when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, and wizard.
Unlike the features in the Player’s Handbook, you don’t gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your GM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature’s description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them.
Alternative Performer
1st-level bard feature
Choose any set of artisan's tools or gaming set. You gain proficiency with your choice if you didn't already have it, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Minor Miracle
2nd-level cleric feature, which replaces the Channel Divinity: Turn Undead and Destroy Undead features
By expending a use of your Channel Divinity, you can cast one of your 1st-level domain spells without expending a spell slot. You can cast higher level spells as you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2nd-level or lower at 8th level, 3rd-level or lower at 14th level, and 4th-level or lower at 20th level.
Also, at 5th level, whenever you cast a cleric spell or expend a use of your Channel Divinity, you can create a magical effect as if by the thaumaturgy cantrip.
Once you cast a spell in this way, you can't cast that spell using this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Druidic
1st-level druid feature, which modifies the Druidic feature
You know the druidcraft cantrip, which doesn't count against your number of cantrips known, and you know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the lang-
uage and use it to leave hidden messages. You and
others who know this language automatically spot
such a message. Others spot the message’s presence
with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but
can’t decipher it without magic.
When you cast a druid spell with a verbal component, you can choose to speak the component in Druidic. When you do so, you can create a magical effect, as if by the druidcraft spell as a part of the spell's casting.
Spellbond
11th-level sorcerer feature
You can bond with a fragment of your magic with greater prowess. Choose a sorcerer spell you know. The spell you choose can't be higher than 5th level. When you cast that spell, you can use your Font of Magic feature as part of the same action. Also, when you use a Metamagic option on that spell, you can do so without spending any sorcery points.
When you finish a long rest, you can choose to swap this feature's benefits to another sorcerer spell you know of 5th level or lower.
Once you use this feature on a Metamagic option, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. You can use it twice between rests beginning at 20th level.
Occult Agent
1st-level warlock feature
As an action, you can transform your body to better represent your patron to others. For the next 10 minutes, or until you choose to end it (no action required), your appearance changes to match the source of your powers. For example, if your patron is a Fiend, you might grow horns or a pointed tail. Regardless of the transformation, your statistics remain the same. While transformed in this way, you add your proficiency bonus to Charisma checks you make to act as a representative of your patron. If you already add your proficiency bonus to the check, your proficiency bonus is instead doubled for the check.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Beginning at 11th level, you can use this feature at will (no action required).
Mage's Major
5th-level wizard feature
Choose a school of magic. You add your proficiency bonus to ability checks you make to ascertain information about that school of magic, as well as spells, objects, or magical effects associated with it. If you already add your proficiency bonus to the check, your proficiency bonus is instead doubled for the check.
Additionally, when you see or hear a creature within 60 feet of you begin casting a spell with verbal or somatic components, you learn that spell's school of magic.
Magic Items
The following items are available for GMs to introduce into any campaign and are presented in alphabetical order.
Acoustic Anklet
Wondrous item, uncommon
When you slip this multi-ringed bangle past your foot, its faint jingle resonates around you. As an action, you can cast the echolocateOES spell on yourself as a 3rd-level spell. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.
Additionally, while wearing this anklet, you can't be tracked via sound except by magical means.
Boots of Burrowing
Wondrous item, rare
While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action to cast the earth walkOES spell on yourself. Once used, this property of the boots can't be used again until the next dawn.
Dagger of Sacrifice
Weapon (dagger), very rare (requires attunement by a warlock)
This dagger drips blood at all times while unsheathed, vanishing mere moments after hitting the ground. While holding the dagger, you can cast the eldritch altarOES spell. If the dagger has ever drawn blood from a creature, you can provide a drop of that creature's blood for the casting of the spell. Additionally, when you cast the scrying spell targeting a creature while within the structure created by the spell, you can reach out to help or harm it. Once during the spell's duration, you can cast a single spell that targets the creature as if you were in the sensor's space. Once used, the dagger can't be used to cast eldritch altarOES again until the sun next sets.
Epitaph of Malice
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a wizard)
Bound with rotten, rune-carved leather, this hefty tome inexplicably has gravestones where a normal book would have pages. When found, the book contains the following spells: create undead beastOES, create undead hordeOES, death gripOES, ray of lethargyOES, sanguine stormOES, and withering spikeOES. It functions as a spellbook for you.
While you are holding the epitaph, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells, and you know the chill touch, rekindle maliceOES, and transfusionOES cantrips if you don't already know them.
The book has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use the charges in the following ways while holding it:
- If you spend 1 minute studying the book, you can expend 1 charge to replace one of your prepared wizard spells with a different spell in the book. The new spell must be of the Necromancy school.
- As an action, you can bury the book in dirt and expend 1 charge. While it remains buried, you know the location of every corpse within 300 feet of it.
