Nature of the Divine

While people often consider the divine to be the sole product of the gods, there are others that believe a similar level of power is held by other sources. Religions in some regions may worship the spirits of the dead or spirits of the land, while in others they may simply revere the mortal self. Some such regions even claim that their beliefs were the progenitor of certain early channelers.

Creating a Channeler

As you create your channeler, keep in mind how your character's beliefs may affect the way they interpret their surroundings. Do they treat nature with great respect, believing that even the smallest insect holds as much power as they do? Do they feel the need to protect other mortals who have yet to discover the power they hold within themselves? Or do they believe that the many forms of art are like a god in their own right, able to create something completely new and unique from seemingly innocuous components?

Channeler Multiclassing

Should you wish to multiclass with a channeler, the prerequisites and proficiencies gained are listed below.

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d8 per channeler level
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per channeler level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: Light armor
• Weapons: Simple weapons
• Tools: None
• Saving Throws: Wisdom and Charisma
• Skills: Choose three from Animal Handling, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Persuasion, and Religion

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a quarterstaff or (b) a simple weapon
• (a) an arcane focus, (b) a druidic focus, (c) a holy symbol, or (d) a trinket or bauble of personal significance to your character
• (a) a priest's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• Leather armor

Alternatively, you may start with 3d4 x 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the channeler spell list. You learn additional channeler cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Channeler table.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Channeler table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your channeler spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your channeler spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

You prepare the list of channeler spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the channeler spell list. When you do so, choose a number of channeler spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your channeler level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level less than or equal to the level of your Conduit Magic spell slots, which can be found in the Slot Level column of the Channeler table.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level channeler, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell bane and choose to cast it, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your channeler spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Ritual Casting

You can cast a channeler spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use your Spiritual Conduit as a spellcasting focus for your channeler spells.

Belief Spells

Each belief has a list of spells—its belief spells—that you gain at the channeler levels noted in the belief's description. Once you gain a belief spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a belief spell that doesn't appear on the channeler spell list, the spell is nonetheless a channeler spell for you.

Channel Divinity: Pandemonium:

At 2nd level, you've gained the ability to use your Channel Divinity to call upon the full might of surrounding spirits. As an action, you raise your spiritual conduit and force each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target is subjected to the effects and damage of your Spiritual Assault feature, as though you had hit the creature with the attack. On a success, the target takes half damage and suffers no other effects.

Artisan Belief

Named after the profession of those that frequently follow it, the Artisan Belief is a collection of channelers that are able to commune with the spirits that reside in constructed objects. Through the process of creation, it is believed that a passionate craftsman will imbue their product with a fragment of their spirit. While these spirits are imperceptible to most, those that are attuned to them are able to understand them and the care given to the objects they reside in. The more passion granted to an object in its creation, and the better its treatment over time, the more potent its spirit will become. For a channeler of the Artisan Belief, the aid of these spirits can be used to construct miracles, much like how the spirits themselves were once constructed.

2nd-Level Astral Belief feature
As a bonus action on your turn, you can create small fragments of cosmic energy at points you can see within 60 feet of you. Each time you create a fragment, choose whether to make a Fragment of Stars or a Fragment of Void. Regardless of which type you create, each fragment remains for 1 minute, or until you dismiss it on one of your turns (no action required).

While you have at least one fragment created, you can use your bonus action to move each existing fragment up to 30 feet, or you can create additional fragments within 30 feet of you. If a fragment is ever more than 90 feet away from you, it immediately dissipates.

• Anguish. Once on each of your turns when you force another creature to make a saving throw, you can subtract 1d4 from that creature’s saving throw.
• Awe. When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you starts its turn, you can use your reaction to force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, its speed is reduced by half until the end of its turn.
• Ecstasy. When a creature ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you use your reaction to grant it temporary hit points equal to your Channeler level.
• Revulsion. When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you starts its turn, you can use your reaction to force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.

• Wrath. Once on each of your turns when you roll damage for an attack or spell, you can add your Charisma modifier to the roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses whenever you finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity: Fractal Self

2nd-level Egocentric Belief feature
When you start your turn while under the effects of your Alter Ego feature, you can use your Channel Divinity to simultaneously align yourself with a different emotion (no action required).

6th-level Egocentric Belief feature
While under the effects of your Alter Ego feature, you gain access to an additional spell based on the emotion you are aligned with.

• Revulsion. A creature that fails its saving throw must spend its action retching, in addition to the normal effects.
• Terror. When you use your Alter Ego feature and align yourself with Terror, you can force all creatures within 60 feet of you that can see you to make Wisdom saving throws.

Heavens Belief Spells

Sanctity

2nd-Level Heavens Belief feature
You learn the Sacred Flame cantrip, which doesn't count against your number of Channeler cantrips known. When you use your action to cast a spell and expend a Conduit Magic spell slot, you may cast this cantrip as a bonus action on that turn.

Divine Protection

2nd-Level Heavens Belief feature
Whenever you cast a spell by expending one of your Conduit Magic spell slots or Sacred Miracles and the spell affects at least one ally, you can grant each affected ally a number of temporary hit points equal to your Channeler level. If the spell would already grant an ally temporary hit points, instead increase the number of temporary hit points granted to that ally by the spell by an amount equal to your Channeler level.

Channel Divinity: Diviner of Fate

2nd-Level Heavens Belief feature
Using your Channel Divinity, you can call upon the heavens to guide the fate of you and your surroundings. As a reaction when you or a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can replace the number rolled on the d20 with 10 + your proficiency bonus or 10 - your proficiency bonus. You must choose to use this reaction before the roll is made.

Additionally, you can choose radiant or necrotic damage when choosing the damage type dealt by your Spiritual Assault feature.

Natural Belief Spells

Bonus Proficiencies

2nd-Level Natural Belief feature
You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, or Survival.

Divine Cultivation

2nd-Level Natural Belief feature
Your very presence is enough to strengthen life in your surroundings. As an action, choose a 10-foot-by-10-foot square within 30 feet of you that you can see. You create one of the following effects in the area:

• The area provides half cover for 10 minutes.
• The area is difficult terrain for 10 minutes.
• Plants instantly begin to grow in the area, creating small sprouts of non-magical flowers or grass in uncovered soil and creating a light layer of moss on any stones or other suitable surfaces. The plants do not grow if there is not enough space for them, and the environment must be hospitable for the plants to continue growing.
• The area is instantly enriched, causing any plants within it to grow twice as fast and require half as much water and nutrients. A plant cannot receive this effect multiple times.

You can have a number of the non-instantaneous effects of this feature active at a time equal to your proficiency bonus, and you can dismiss such an effect on your turn (no action required).

Channel Divinity: Land's Malevolence

2nd-Level Natural Belief feature
As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an area of spectral thorns and vines. Choose a point within 120 feet of yourself that you can see. A 15-foot-radius area centered on that point becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute or until you dismiss it on one of your subsequent turns (no action required). When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 1d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.

Any creature that starts its turn within the area must make a Strength saving throw or have its speed reduced by half until the start of its next turn as it’s dragged down by the vines.

Favor of the Forest

6th-Level Natural Belief feature
You are loved by the spirits of nature, who lend you a hand to make your travels easier. Moving through difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the entangle spell.

As an action, you can magically share these benefits with willing creatures you can see within 10 feet of you, up to a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). The shared benefits last for 1 hour. Once you share them, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a Conduit Magic spell slot to share them again.

While traveling for an hour or more, difficult terrain doesn't slow your group’s travel, regardless of whether or not you have shared the benefits of this feature with them, and your group can’t become lost except by magical means.

Shaman of the Wilds

14th-Level Natural Belief feature
When a beast or plant creature attacks you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your channeler spell save DC. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. On a failed save, the attack automatically misses and the creature is charmed by you for 1 minute. Creatures charmed in this way are incapacitated, unless you use your bonus action to verbally command what that creature will do, which it will follow on its next turn. A charmed creature may repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success, though this success does not grant it immunity to this feature.

Aspect of Nature

20th-Level Natural Belief feature
You embody the land itself. You gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and poison damage.
• As a reaction when a creature you can see within 30 feet of you would take damage that matches one of types of damage that you have resistance to from this feature, you can grant that creature resistance to the triggering type of damage until the start of your next turn.

College of Catharsis

The most important part of any story is the ending. It is by this philosophy that bards of the College of Catharsis operate as they strive to weave the most satisfying and memorable conclusions to their tales as they can, whether by chance or by their own intervention. Most are often storytellers of a sort, whether it be through theatrics, poems, or otherwise, but they all share the same love for the stirred emotions of their audience as the curtains close.

Famine Domain

Famine can arise from a multitude of conditions. Poor weather, mistreatment, greed, the list goes on. Gods of famine are those who mete out this misfortune, whether it be as punishment or for their own sadistic pleasure.

Clerics of the Famine Domain act as harbingers and ill omens for things to come. They instill dread and hopelessness with every passing step, as those who they take notice of are often the next victims of their deity’s wrath.

Circle of Ore

While druids often shy away from metal, druids of the Circle of Ore embrace it alongside all other types of gem and stone. All that comes from the earth is to be celebrated equally, whether it be flourishing forests or glittering gems. While life may not spring from the stones themselves, it is the stones that provide shelter so that the creatures of the land can continue their lives. Druids of the Circle of Ore embody this, creating their own shelters from metal and stone to protect themselves and the lives of those around them.

Weapon Specializations

3rd-level Fighter feature
You have developed a unique set of tricks in combat, which are represented by "Weapon Specializations". These specializations grant you certain benefits while wielding certain weapons of your choosing. They may have come through specialized training you’ve had with the weapons, or they could be unique adjustments and modifications you make to the weapons you wield.

When you gain this feature, you gain four weapon specializations of your choice, though you cannot apply more than two of these specializations to any one weapon type.

When you reach 7th, 10th, and 15th level in the Fighter class, you can choose two additional specializations of your choice. You can apply these specializations either to weapons you have already chosen specializations for or for weapons you haven’t yet chosen a specialization for, though you can only apply one additional specialization to a given weapon type at each of these levels.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can choose to change any of the weapon specializations you have for another you would have been able to select at the time. You can change the specialization, the weapon it applies to, or both.

Damage Die Adjustments

Certain specializations may state that you increase or decrease the damage die size of the weapon by one step. For those unfamiliar, the damage die sizes are as follows: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12. So, if you were asked to decrease the damage die size of a greataxe by one step, it would go from 1d12 to 1d10. You cannot decrease a weapon’s damage die size below a d4 or increase it above a d12.. If a specialization would decrease a weapon’s damage die size below a d4 or increase it above a d12, you cannot use that specialization with that weapon.

For weapons that deal two damage dice on a hit, such as the greatsword which deals 2d6 damage, you only increase or decrease one of the damage dice for each step you are asked to adjust the weapon by. So if you were asked to decrease a greatsword’s damage dice by one step it would deal 1d6+1d4 damage, but if you were asked to decrease its damage dice by two steps it would deal 2d4 damage instead. Additionally, you can’t increase either of the damage dice above a d6.

For weapons that deal more than two damage dice on a hit, ask your DM.

When you make an attack with this weapon and deal damage, you can choose to replace the bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage dealt by the attack with another of those damage types.

Expert

When you make an attack with this weapon using your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack roll and damage, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage dealt.

Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to a creature you hit with an attack with this weapon if you have advantage on the attack roll.

Heavyweight

Requirements: The chosen weapon has neither the Heavy or Two-Handed property and you don’t have the Featherweight specialization for the chosen weapon.

Hooked

Requirements: The chosen weapon has the Finesse property.
When you take the Attack action and attack with this weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to Disarm a creature within the reach of this weapon. When attempting to Disarm a creature with this weapon, you do not have disadvantage when the target is holding the item with two or more hands.

Impactful

Requirements: The chosen weapon has the Heavy property.
When you take the Attack action and attack with this weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to Shove a creature within the reach of this weapon. If you succeed, you push the target 5 feet in a direction of your choosing, instead of the normal options for the Shove action.

Close

Before you make a ranged attack with this weapon, you can decrease the normal and long range of the weapon by half to increase the damage die size by one step. For example, if you used this specialization with a standard longbow, it would have a normal range of 75 feet, a long range of 300 feet, and deal 1d10 piercing damage on a hit.

Long

When you make a ranged attack with this weapon against a creature beyond the weapon’s normal range (but still within the weapon’s maximum range), you can choose to decrease the damage die size of the weapon by one step for that attack. If you do so, you no longer have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Rapid

When you take the Attack action and attack with this weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to make another attack with this weapon. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative or you have the Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style.

Reinforced

You can use this weapon to make melee attacks. When you do so, you count it as a melee weapon with which you are proficient. On a hit, it deals the weapon’s normal damage as bludgeoning damage.

Weighted

You can use your Strength modifier, instead of your Dexterity modifier, for your attack and damage rolls with this weapon. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Gale Warrior

Gale Warriors express their craft in many ways, but the result is always the same. Some may dance gracefully throughout the battlefield, attacking their foes with grand flourishes, while others may charge forward with deft pragmatism, wasting not even a single step. Yet they will always pass like a gust of wind, leaving just as swiftly as they came with nary a breath left in their wake.

3rd-level Stone Knight feature
You gain proficiency in Intimidation. If you were already proficient in this skill, you instead gain proficiency in another skill of your choice.

You've learned to withstand the tide of battle, cleaving down hordes with every swing. You gain the following benefits:

• When you are wielding a weapon with the two-handed and heavy properties, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
• When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon attack using a weapon with the two-handed and heavy properties, you can continue your swing to cleave into another creature, carrying over any excess damage from the attack. Choose another creature within your reach. If your original attack roll can hit that creature, that creature takes the remaining damage. If you also reduce that creature to 0 hit points, you can repeat this effect again, continuing to carry over excess damage until either there are no valid targets or until you fail to reduce a creature to 0 hit points with the excess damage.
• Whenever you are subjected to forced movement, reduce the distance you are moved by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier times 5 (minimum 0 feet).
• As a bonus action, you can empower the next attack you make before the start of your next turn and cause it to deal an extra 1d8 damage on a hit. When you reach 10th level in this class, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Heavy Blows

7th-level Stone Knight feature
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can choose to sacrifice any number of your attacks to put even greater force behind your next strike. The next time you hit with a melee weapon attack before the start of your next turn, roll the attack’s damage again for each attack you have sacrificed in this way (including modifiers). The attack must be made with a weapon that has the two-handed and heavy properties in order to gain this benefit, and you lose the effects of any attacks you have sacrificed when you are incapacitated or die.

10th-level Stone Knight feature
You gain a bonus to all saving throws equal to your Constitution modifier.

On a failure, a creature takes 10d12 force damage, is knocked prone, and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a success, a creature takes half damage and is not knocked prone or stunned.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Way of the Apparition

Monks of the Way of the Apparition study and hone themselves to be capable of feats that some may consider supernatural. It is a tradition that emphasizes swiftness, agility, and precision, darting forward in a flash to deliver a powerful blow or moving so quickly that attacks appear to simply phase through your blurred form. Should one ever come to face a monk following this tradition in battle, their only hope is that they can say their final words before they are dispatched.

Monolith Stance

3rd-level Way of the Titan feature
By anchoring yourself to the ground beneath your feet, you become an unshakable pillar, shrugging off any blows that come your way. You gain a +2 bonus to the AC granted by your Unarmored Defense feature and you can use your Strength modifier in place of your Dexterity modifier for the AC granted by your Unarmored Defense feature, meaning while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 12 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill. If you were already proficient in this skill, you gain proficiency in one other skill of your choice.

Quaking Fists

3rd-level Way of the Titan feature

As an action, you can spend 2 ki points and force all creatures within 10 feet of you to make a Strength saving throw.

You may spend up to 3 additional ki points as part of this action, and for each additional ki point spent increase the damage by one roll of your martial arts die.

Once you have used this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again, unless you spend 4 ki points to use it again.

Oath of the Slayer

The Oath of the Slayer represents the ideology of those who wish to stand above all else. Whether their quarry is a mighty dragon or a powerful organization, they strive to topple their foes and rise ever higher.

Shade Archetype

Fear of the dark is one of the most primal fears a creature can have, as darkness can hide any number of possible threats. Shades use this to their advantage, creating darkness of their own to conceal themselves in their work. They are generally a welcome addition to thieves’ guilds, as they tend to slip away right as the authorities arrive, like a shadow slinking away from an oncoming light.

The magical abilities of a Shade may have been something you’ve always had, only revealing themselves once you were in great danger to help you escape. Or you may have come unto them recently as a result of an encounter with some unknowable creature of the dark, and you now seek to make use of them for your own pursuits.

Phoenix Soul

A Phoenix Soul sorcerer is an embodiment of fire itself. They can burn their surroundings to cinders, leaving naught but ash behind, but that ash can also be used to nourish new life. The spirit of fire is one of destruction and renewal; one cannot exist without the other. Sorcerers of this bloodline often trace their abilities back to an ancient pact that one of their ancestors made with a phoenix, but in some rare cases they may be a direct descendent of the mythical creatures itself. Sometimes their lineage doesn’t even trace back to a phoenix specifically, but some other being with great power over flame, and sometimes their origins may have come from a time in the not so distant past, rather than in the ages of old.

School of the Mind

Wizards come to study the School of the Mind for a multitude of reasons. For some, they are already accomplished wizards and wish to hoard their knowledge in a form that can’t be stolen. For others, they may have fallen upon harsh times, and wish to keep studying but need a way to keep their pursuits a secret. Regardless of how one begins down the path, few choose to leave it once they have begun, as the secrets held within the depths of one’s mind are often far too tantalizing to leave uncovered. Once one has devoted themselves to the pursuit, they become a force to be reckoned with, capable of exerting their will on the very world itself.

Aqueous Lash

Conjuration cantrip

Classes: Artificer, Druid, Mystic, Sorcerer
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (The handle or hilt of a weapon)
Duration: Instantaneous

You create a long whip made of water and lash out with it towards a creature in range. Make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the creature takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage. The water then spreads out across the ground, extinguishing unprotected flames within 5 feet of you and your target.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

Blade Waltz

3rd-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (A melee weapon worth at least 1sp that lacks the heavy and two-handed properties)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Your weapon darts and weaves in the air around you like a baton conducting a beautiful song. For the duration of the spell, you gain the following benefits with the weapon used in the spell’s casting:

• You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.
• When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one attack with the chosen weapon as a bonus action.
• If you hit with three attacks using the chosen weapon on your turn, the third attack deals an additional 3d4 damage of the weapon’s type.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 4th- or 5th-level spell slot, all attacks made with the weapon used in the spell’s casting also deal an additional 1d4 damage of the weapon’s type. When you cast it using a 6th- or 7th-level spell slot, the additional damage increases to 2d4. When you cast it using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the additional damage increases to 3d4.

Entropic Dissonance

6th-level transmutation

Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (An ember and an ice cube)
Duration: Instantaneous

You drain all heat from a 20-foot-radius sphere within range before returning it twofold. All creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 5d6 fire damage and 5d6 cold damage. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage.

If a creature affected by the spell has resistance or immunity to fire damage and does not have resistance or immunity to cold damage, it takes all damage from this spell as cold damage and if it fails its saving throw its speed is reduced to 0 for 1 minute as its feet are encased in ice. It can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the reduction to its speed on a success, or it or an adjacent creature can spend its action to clear the ice (no check required).

If a creature affected by the spell has resistance or immunity to cold damage and does not have resistance or immunity to fire damage, it takes all damage from this spell as fire damage and if it fails its saving throw it ignites for 1 minute, taking 2d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. It can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, putting the fire on itself out on a success, or it or an adjacent creature can spend its action to put the fire out (no check required).

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the cold and fire damage (not the damage taken while ignited) both increase by 1d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (A small metal rod)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You instantly create an ephemeral weapon in your hands. Choose a simple or martial weapon with which you are proficient. You create a weapon of the chosen type, which lasts for the duration of the spell. The weapon can be used to attack, functioning as normal for a weapon of its type. For instance, if you were to create a rapier, you would be able to use the finesse property for your attacks, and on a hit you would deal 1d8 piercing damage + your Strength or Dexterity modifier. If you create a ranged weapon, it creates a single piece of ammunition at the start of each of your turns, and the ammunition dissipates at the start of your next turn or immediately after you use it to make an attack, whether the attack hits or misses.

You cannot make a specific magical weapon, generic or unique, such as a moon-touched scimitar or the dagger Reszur, but you can otherwise make the weapon appear as you wish within the limitations of its type. If you drop the
