Appendix: Spells

Expulsion

4th-level abjuration

• Classes: Cleric, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (an item the target abhors)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Replaces: Banishment

You brandish a repellent item at a creature you can see within range and attempt to expel them from this plane. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, they are partly wrenched off their current plane. For the duration, they become incapacitated and gain resistance to all damage.

The target makes another Charisma save at the end of each of their turns, ending the spell on a success. Creatures on their home plane continue making saves for the duration. Extraplanar creatures failing their second Charisma save disappear from their current plane entirely. Extraplanar creatures failing the third Charisma save are banished back to their home plane and stop attempting saving throws. If you maintain concentration for the full duration, this banishment becomes permanent.

A target that returns reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th.

Holy Fire

5th-level necromancy

• Classes: Cleric
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a pinch of ash from burnt incense)
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Replaces: Flame Strike

A column of holy fire roars down from the heavens to smite your foes, striking all creatures within a 40-foot high, 10-foot radius cylinder. When you cast this spell, choose if it deals radiant damage, fire damage, or both. All creatures within the cylinder must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 damage of the chosen type (4d8 of each type if both were selected) on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Targets gain no benefit from cover for this saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d8 (or 1d8 of each type) for each two slot levels above 5th.

Mutate

3rd-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (something from an extinct animal)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You manipulate the nature of your body with magic temporarily giving it new properties. You can select three of the following properties:

• Your body becomes malleable and amorphous. You have advantage on saves and checks against grapples and the restrained condition, you do not suffer disadvantage from squeezing into smaller spaces, and you can squeeze through openings two sizes smaller than you.
• You grow one additional appendage. This appendage serves as an arm and a hand, though it can take the shape of an arm, tentacle, or similar appendage.
• You extend the length of your limbs, increasing the reach on melee attacks, touch spells, and object interactions by 5 feet.
• Your flesh hardens, your base AC becomes 14 + your dexterity modifier if it is not already higher.
• You grow more resilient, adapting against one external threat. You gain advantage on one type of saving throw of your choice.
• You adapt your body to an aquatic environment, sprouting gills and growing webbing between your fingers. You can breathe underwater and gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
• Your body grows ablative armor. You gain temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of your turns.
• You can grow one size larger or smaller.
• You sprout wings. You gain a flying speed of 30 feet.
• You grow a natural weapon; this weapon can have the statistics of any martial melee weapon without the thrown property, and takes on a form vaguely reminiscent of it. You have proficiency with this weapon, and are considered to be holding it. You can use your spellcasting modifier in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls with this natural weapon. The natural weapon is magic and you have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls you make using it.

For the duration of the spell, you can use an action to change one or all of the properties, losing the benefits of your previously selected properties and gaining the benefits of the new selected properties.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th or higher, you can select one additional property from the list of options, with one additional property per spell level above 3rd.

The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
