Butterfly Blade

Illusion cantrip
Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee weapon attack with it against a target you can see within the weapon's reach. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, as a vein of magical energy bursts out from the point of the strike, creating an illusory swarm of spectral butterflies, birds, or similar creatures that surround you until the end of your next turn. The first attack that targets you before then subtracts 1d4 from its attack roll. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn't rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.

This spell adds damage to the initial attack when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the attack deals an extra 1d8 psychic damage to the target on a hit, which increases by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8) and 17th level (3d8). Additionally, the die rolled for the disruption caused by the illusion increases by one step at 5th level (d6), 11th level (d8), and 17th level (d10).

Haunted Blade

Necromancy cantrip
Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against a creature within the weapon's reach. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, and then becomes haunted by an otherworldly force until your next turn ends. If the target makes a saving throw before then, they subtract 1d4 from the total, and the spell ends. If the saving throw is made against the Frightened condition, they subtract 2d4 instead.

The melee attack you make as part of casting this spell deals additional damage when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 psychic damage. This increases by an additional 1d8 at 11th level (2d8) and 17th level (3d8).

Phantom Arrow

Necromancy cantrip
Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a weapon with the ammunition property worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You ready the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a ranged attack with it against a target you can see within the weapon's range. In place of ammunition, a mote of soulfire (a ghostlike energy which dances like flame, but chills like frost) forms along your weapon as you motion to attack. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, but the damage counts as cold instead of the weapon's normal damage type.

The arrow created by this spell phases through solid objects that are not being worn or carried, allowing you to fire it through most barriers. Barriers more than 1 foot in thickness block the arrow, as do magical barriers of any kind. The arrow disappears after the attack.

The ranged attack you make as part of casting this spell deals additional damage when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the ranged attack deals an extra 1d8 cold damage. This increases by an additional 1d8 at 11th level (2d8) and 17th level (3d8).

Shocking Strike

Evocation cantrip
Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against a target you can see within the weapon's reach. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, as a surge of volatile electrical energy gathers around them. If the target takes a reaction before the start of its next turn, it takes 1d4 lightning damage and the spell ends. If the target's reaction was used to make an attack of opportunity, the attack is made with disadvantage.

This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 lightning damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for using a reaction increases to 2d4. Both damage rolls increase by one die at 11th level (2d8 and 3d4) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d4).

Spellfire Strike

Evocation cantrip
Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
• Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee weapon attack with it against a target you can see within the weapon's reach. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, then becomes assailed by a sheath of flame. At the end of the target's next turn, it suffers fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.

If the target or a creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the flames (such as the target being submerged in water), the spell ends. The target can also douse the flames by dropping prone and expending 5 feet of movement, rolling on the ground.

This spell adds damage to the initial attack when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target on a hit, which increases by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8) and 17th level (3d8).
