Spellcasting

1st-level Wizard feature
Your arcane powers come from meticulous study, research, and practice. You may not wield as much raw magical strength as a sorcerer, but your knowledge of the subtleties of magic allows you to cast more advanced and technical spells. You record this arcane knowledge in your spellbook.
Cantrips. At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Wizard table.
Spells of 1st Level and Higher. At 1st level, your spellbook contains six 1st-level wizard spells of your choice. It doesn't contain cantrips.
Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have wizard spell slots, as shown on the Wizard table.
Preparing and Casting Spells. The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence score + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you're a 3rd-level wizard, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest, provided you have access to your spellbook.
Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence score when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence score
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your intelligence score
Ritual Casting. You can cast a wizard spell in your spellbook as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. If you don't have the spell prepared, you can still cast it as a ritual, but you must read from your spellbook during the casting.
Spellcasting Focus. You can use an arcane focus or your spellbook as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

Spellbook

1st-level Wizard feature
At 1st level, you create or acquire a spellbook. Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Personal Use. When you inscribe a spell, you are noting its techniques, reagents, incantations, and other details required to cast it. Whether the notes are encrypted is up to you. No matter how you write them, they are personalized for your use; no other creature can prepare or cast a spell from your inscription, and you can't prepare or cast a spell from another creature's inscription.
Transcribing Spells. You can copy a spell from your spellbook into another book. For each level of the spell, the process takes 1 hour and costs 10 gp worth of fine ink. Unless you have the spell prepared, you must refer to your spellbook during the process.
If you lose your spellbook, you can inscribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook as usual. The rest of the spells in your old spellbook are lost. You can recover a lost spell by finding a written copy of it elsewhere, such as on a spell scroll or in another wizard's spellbook, and transcribing it into your own spellbook as normal. Alternatively, you can attempt to transcribe a lost spell from your memory. The attempt takes as much time and fine ink as a typical transcription of the spell's level would, culminating in an Arcana check. The DC equals 20 + the level of the spell. On a success, you inscribe the spell; otherwise, the attempt fails and the materials are wasted.

Optional Rule: Copying New Spells

You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library. When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher that are of a level you can prepare, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the wizard who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.

Autorecognition

1st-level Wizard feature
When you see or hear a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell, if that spell is in your spellbook, you automatically learn which spell it is as if you had used the Recognize Spell reaction and succeeded on the check.

Arcane Recovery

2nd-level Wizard feature
You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The sum of the spell slots' levels can't exceed half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
For example, if you're a 4th-level wizard, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Arcane Tradition

2nd-level Wizard feature
Choose an arcane tradition. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Necromancer
Source: 2D
Necromancers study matters of life, death, and undeath. The field is considered taboo in many societies due to the common practice of animating corpses. Though not all necromancers are evil, many wizards practice necromancy for nefarious gains.

Expanded Spell List

2nd-level Necromancer feature
You learn the deadwalk cantrip, and you can cast it once on each of your turns as a free action. It doesn't count against the number of wizard cantrips you know. Additionally, the spells in the table below count as wizard spells for you.

Necromancy Savant

2nd-level Necromancer feature
When you gain this feature, you can add two necromancy spells from the wizard spell list to your spellbook. Each time you gain a level in the wizard class, you can add an additional necromancy wizard spell to your spellbook.

Undead Minion

2nd-level Necromancer feature
Your experiments with undead have been successful. You add the summon undead spell to your spellbook. It is always prepared and doesn't count against the number of wizard spells you can prepare each day.
You can cast the spell using a spell slot of 1st or 2nd level. When you cast the spell using a 1st-level spell slot, you can only create a zombie, and it lacks its Bite attack. When you cast the spell using a 2nd-level slot, you can only create a zombie lacking Bite or a skeleton lacking Multiattack.
No matter what level you cast the spell at, you ignore its material component, which does not need to be consumed to make the creature's existence permanent. Additionally, you can cause a creature created by the spell to not lose its Companion trait when the spell would become permanent. You can only have one such permanent companion at a time.

Preserve Unlife

6th-level Necromancer feature
When you see an Undead creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you take damage, you can use a reaction to reduce the damage to 1 by rapidly stitching the target's flesh and bones back together. You can't reduce radiant damage in this way.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence score (minimum once), regaining expended uses after finishing a long rest.

Necromantic Conduit

10th-level Necromancer feature
You can channel your powers through the dead. When you cast a necromancy spell that doesn't target yourself, you can cast it from the space of a creature's remains or a willing Undead creature that you can see. You must be on the same plane of existence as the remains or undead.

Commander of the Dead

14th-level Necromancer feature
You add the summon greater undead spell to your spellbook, or a different wizard spell of 6th level or lower if you already have it. It always counts as prepared and doesn't count against the number of wizard spells you can prepare each day. You ignore its material component, which does not need to be consumed to make the creature's existence permanent. Additionally, you can cause a creature created by the spell to not lose its Companion trait when the spell would become permanent.
You can have one permanent companion created by summon greater undead or up to three permanent companions created by summon undead, replacing the single permanent companion of your Undead Minion feature. By taking the Command action as a standard action, you can command any number of your Undead companions.
Illusionist
Source: 2D
Illusionists create and suppress sensory phenomena, especially visual and auditory ones.

Illusion Savant

2nd-level Illusionist feature
When you gain this feature, you can add two illusion spells from the wizard spell list to your spellbook. Each time you gain a level in the wizard class, you can add an additional illusion wizard spell to your spellbook.

Subtle Illusions

2nd-level Illusionist feature
When you cast an illusion spell, you don't need to provide verbal or somatic components. You also don't need to provide material components if the material component isn't consumed and has no cost.

Substantiate

6th-level Illusionist feature
When you see a creature make an Investigation check against an illusion spell you cast to determine whether the illusion is real, you can use a reaction to augment the illusion with extra realism. The Investigation check automatically fails, even if it involved physical inspection. You can't use this feature to foil an inspection that takes longer than one turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence score, regaining expended uses after finishing a long rest.

Eye for Illusions

6th-level Illusionist feature
Familiar with common giveaways of illusions, you have advantage on Investigation checks made to discern illusions and on saving throws against illusion spells.

Enduring Images

10th-level Illusionist feature
As a standard action, you can cause one illusion spell within 60 feet of you to have a duration of "concentration, until dispelled". You must have been the one to cast the spell.

True Illusions

14th-level Illusionist feature
Your tricks fool even gods. Truesight doesn't work against illusion spells you cast.
Diviner
Source: 2D
While diviners are best known for their fortune-telling abilities, members of the school of divination also specialize in detecting lies, finding missing objects or persons, and recovering lost knowledge.

Divination Savant

2nd-level Diviner feature
When you gain this feature, you can add two divination spells from the wizard spell list to your spellbook. Each time you gain a level in the wizard class, you can add an additional divination wizard spell to your spellbook.

Distant Visions

2nd-level Diviner feature
You add the clairvoyance spell to your spellbook. It is always prepared and doesn't count against the number of wizard spells you can prepare each day.
You can cast the spell using a spell slot of 1st or 2nd level. When you cast the spell using a 1st-level spell slot, its range is 10 feet. When you cast the spell using a 2nd-level slot, its range 90 feet.
No matter what level you cast the spell at, you ignore its material component, and its casting time is 1 standard action.

Oracular Awareness

6th-level Diviner feature
You can't be surprised.

Portent

6th-level Diviner feature
Whether by premonatory dreams or veiled omens, the future reveals itself to you. Each time you finish a long rest, roll two d20s. The results are your portent rolls. When you or a creature you can see would roll a d20 as part of an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, you can substitute that d20 roll with one of your portent rolls. If the roll is made with advantage or disadvantage, you substitute only the first d20.
Each portent roll can be used only once, and you can't use more than one portent roll per turn. Unexpended portent rolls disappear when you finish a long rest.

Heightened Cognition

10th-level Diviner feature
You are accustomed to processing vast quantities of information. You can use this feature to cast any divination spell in your spellbook without expending a spell slot. The spell must be 2nd level or lower, and if the spell requires concentration, you can concentrate on it and any other effect simultaneously.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Perfect Clarity

14th-level Diviner feature
Your vision into the future becomes clearer. You can make three portent rolls per long rest instead of two, and you can use a single portent roll to replace both d20s of rolls that are made with advantage or disadvantage.

Academic Expertise

3rd-level Wizard feature
Choose one of the following skills: Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, or Religion. You gain proficiency in the chosen skill, or expertise if you already have proficiency.

Ability Score Improvement

4th-level Wizard feature
You can increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 5. You can do so again at 8th, 12th, and 16th level.

Quick Swap

4th-level Wizard feature
By taking the Study action and succeeding on an Arcana check, you can swap one prepared wizard spell with one unprepared wizard spell in your spellbook. The prepared spell becomes unprepared, and the unprepared spell becomes prepared. The check DC equals 10 + the unprepared spell's level. Alternatively, you can automatically swap spells without making a check over the course of 1 minute.
You can swap spells in this way a number of times equal to your Intelligence score, regaining expended uses on a long rest. (You don't expend a use of this feature if you fail the check.)

You assume a different form. When you cast the spell, choose one of the following options, the effects of which last for the duration of the spell. While the spell lasts, you can end one option as a standard action to gain the benefits of a different one.
Aquatic Adaptation. You adapt your body to an aquatic environment, sprouting gills and growing webbing between your fingers. You can breathe underwater and gain a swim speed equal to your walk speed.
Change Appearance. You transform your appearance. You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, sound of your voice, hair length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics, if any. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your statistics change. You also can't appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you're bipedal, you can't use this spell to become quadrupedal, for instance. At any time for the duration of the spell, you can use a standard action to change your appearance in this way again.
Natural Weapons. You grow claws, fangs, spines, horns, or a different natural weapon of your choice.

Jumping

Jumping

Jumping is a movement modifier that lets you clear gaps or obstacles. Instead of the usual movement cost, you must spend 1 foot of movement for every foot you jump vertically or horizontally (whichever is higher).
When you jump, perform the following series of calculations; don't round until the end. The resulting value is the maximum number of feet you can jump.
  1. Start with your passive Athletics. Alternatively, you can make an Athletics check and use the result instead.
  2. If you did not get a running start immediately before jumping, divide the value by 2. To get a running start, you must move in a straight line in the direction you want to jump for a number of feet determined by your size, as shown in the Running Start Distances table. The speed you use to get a running start must be the same speed you use to jump.
  3. To determine the vertical distance you can clear, divide the value by 2 again.
If you land in difficult terrain, you must succeed on a DC 10 Acrobatics check or fall prone.

Antimagic Field

Antimagic Field

8th-level abjuration
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a pinch of powdered iron or iron filings)
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
Self
A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can't be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.
Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can't protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn't function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.
Targeted Effects. Spells and other magical effects, such as magic missile and charm person, that target a creature or an object in the sphere have no effect on that target.
Areas of Magic. The area of another spell or magical effect, such as fireball, can't extend into the sphere. If the sphere overlaps an area of magic, the part of the area that is covered by the sphere is suppressed. For example, the flames created by a wall of fire are suppressed within the sphere, creating a gap in the wall if the overlap is large enough.
Spells. Any active spell or other magical effect on a creature or an object in the sphere is suppressed while the creature or object is in it.
Magic Items. The properties and powers of magic items are suppressed in the sphere. For example, a +1 longsword in the sphere functions as a nonmagical longsword.
A magic weapon's properties and powers are suppressed if it is used against a target in the sphere or wielded by an attacker in the sphere. If a magic weapon or a piece of magic ammunition fully leaves the sphere (for example, if you fire a magic arrow or throw a magic spear at a target outside the sphere), the magic of the item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.
Magical Travel. Teleportation and planar travel fail to work in the sphere, whether the sphere is the destination or the departure point for such magical travel. A portal to another location, world, or plane of existence, as well as an opening to an extradimensional space such as that created by the mirror mansion spell, temporarily closes while in the sphere.
Creatures and Objects. A creature or object summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly reappears once the space the creature occupied is no longer within the sphere.
Dispel Magic. Spells and magical effects such as dispel magic have no effect on the sphere. Likewise, the spheres created by different antimagic field spells don't nullify each other.

Antipathy/Sympathy

Antipathy/Sympathy

8th-level enchantment
Components
V, S, M (either a lump of alum soaked in vinegar for the antipathy effect or a drop of honey for the sympathy effect)
Duration
10 days
Casting Time
1 hour
Range
60 feet
This spell attracts or repels creatures of your choice. You target something within range, either a Huge or smaller object or creature or an area that is no larger than a 200-foot cube. Then specify a kind of intelligent creature, such as red dragons, goblins, or vampires. You invest the target with an aura that either attracts or repels the specified creatures for the duration. Choose antipathy or sympathy as the aura's effect.
Antipathy. The enchantment causes creatures of the kind you designated to feel an intense urge to leave the area and avoid the target. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened. The creature remains frightened while it can see the target or is within 60 feet of it. While frightened by the target, the creature must use its movement to move to the nearest safe spot from which it can't see the target. If the creature moves more than 60 feet from the target and can't see it, the creature is no longer frightened, but the creature becomes frightened again if it regains sight of the target or moves within 60 feet of it.
Sympathy. The enchantment causes the specified creatures to feel an intense urge to approach the target while within 60 feet of it or able to see it. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or use its movement on each of its turns to enter the area or move within reach of the target. When the creature has done so, it can't willingly move away from the target. If the target damages or otherwise harms an affected creature, the affected creature can make a Wisdom saving throw to end the effect, as described below.
Ending the Effect. If an affected creature ends its turn while not within 60 feet of the target or able to see it, the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the creature is no longer affected by the target and recognizes the feeling of repugnance or attraction as magical. In addition, a creature affected by the spell is allowed another Wisdom saving throw every 24 hours while the spell persists.
A creature that successfully saves against this effect is immune to it for 1 minute, after which time it can be affected again.

Hidden

Hidden

While hidden from one or more creatures, you have a Hide DC, which is typically determined by the Hide action. If you move without sneaking, you must reroll the Hide DC by making another Stealth check.

Effects of This Condition

While hidden from a creature, it doesn't know where you are, and it can't track your movement.

Ending This Condition

You cease to be hidden from a creature if any of the following occurs:
  • You aren't heavily obscured or behind any cover relative to the creature.
  • You attack the creature.
  • You make a sound louder than a whisper, such as by casting a spell with a verbal component.
  • Another creature reveals your location.
  • The creature succeeds on a Perception check against your Hide DC. The Search action lets a creature attempt this check.
  • Your Hide DC becomes less than the creature's passive PerceptionAlso see the rule on Passive Perception Falloff..

Obscured

Obscured

When vision in an area is hindered by smoke, darkness, or a similar phenomenon, the area is obscured. There are two degrees of obscurity.

Lightly Obscured

In a lightly obscured area, such as dim light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage, creatures have disadvantage on Perception checks that rely on sight.

Heavily Obscured

A heavily obscured area, such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage, blocks vision entirely. Nothing in that area can be seen.

Cover

Cover

Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect originates on the opposite side of the cover.
There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees aren't added together. For example, if a target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover.

Half Cover

A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.

Three-Quarters Cover

A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has three-quarters cover if about three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The obstacle might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk.

Total Cover

A target with total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle.

Light

Light

There are three categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and darkness.
A source of light typically emits bright light in a small radius and dim light in a larger radius; these distances are given in parentheses. For example, a fire that sheds light (20/40 ft.) produces bright light within 20 feet and dim light for another 20 feet beyond that.

Bright Light

Bright light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.

Dim Light

Dim light, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a torch, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon might bathe the land in dim light.

Darkness

Darkness creates a heavily obscured area. Characters face darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit nights), within the confines of an unlit dungeon or a subterranean vault, or in an area of magical darkness.

You create linked teleportation portals that remain open for the duration. Choose two points that you can see, one point within 10 feet of you and one point within the spell's range. A circular portal, 10 feet in diameter, opens over each point. If the portal would open in the space occupied by a creature, the spell fails, and the casting is lost.
The portals are two-dimensional glowing rings filled with mist, hovering in place in any orientation you choose. A ring is visible only from one side (your choice), which is the side that functions as a portal.
Any creature or object entering the portal exits from the other portal as if the two were adjacent to each other; passing through a portal from the non-portal side has no effect. The mist that fills each portal is opaque and blocks vision through it. On your turn, you can reorient the rings as a minor action so that the active side faces a different direction.

Duration
Special
Casting Time
1 hour
Range
10 feet
You and up to eight willing creatures within range project your astral bodies into the Astral Plane (the spell fails and the casting is wasted if you are already on that plane). The material body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation; it doesn't need food or air and doesn't age.
Your astral body resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principal difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading to invisibility after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As long as the tether remains intact, you can find your way home. If the cord is cut—something that can happen only when an effect specifically states that it does—your soul and body are separated, killing you instantly.
Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when casting this spell, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body as you enter the new plane. Your astral form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
The spell ends for you and your companions when you use a standard action to dismiss it. When the spell ends, the affected creature returns to its physical body, and it awakens.
The spell might also end early for you or one of your companions. A successful dispel magic spell used against an astral or physical body ends the spell for that creature. If a creature's original body or its astral form drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends for that creature. If the spell ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls the creature's astral form back to its body, ending its state of suspended animation.
If you are returned to your body prematurely, your companions remain in their astral forms and must find their own way back to their bodies, usually by dropping to 0 hit points.

On a critical hit, the blade deals an extra 8d12 force damage (for a total of 12d12 force damage).
As a minor action on your turn, you can move the blade up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then make up to two melee spell attacks with it again.
The blade can harmlessly pass through any barrier, including a wall of force.

Roll a d20 at the end of each of your turns for the duration of the spell. On a roll of 11 or higher, you vanish from your current plane of existence and appear in the Ethereal Plane (the spell fails and the casting is wasted if you were already on that plane). At the start of your next turn, and when the spell ends if you are on the Ethereal Plane, you return to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near). You can dismiss this spell as a standard action.
While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can't see anything there more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Creatures that aren't there can't perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so.

This spell grows an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death.

It remains inert and endures indefinitely, as long as its vessel remains undisturbed.
At any time after the clone matures, if the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to return. The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but none of the original's equipment. The original creature's physical remains, if they still exist, become inert and can't thereafter be restored to life, since the creature's soul is elsewhere.

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind.

On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if the entity doesn't know the answer to the question).

Choose a spell of 5th level or lower that you can cast, that has a casting time of 1 standard action, and that can target you. You cast that spell—called the contingent spell—as part of casting contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn't come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, a contingency cast with water breathing might stipulate that water breathing comes into effect when you are engulfed in water or a similar liquid.
The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then contingency ends.
The contingent spell takes effect only on you, even if it can normally target others. You can use only one contingency spell at a time. If you cast this spell again, the effect of another contingency spell on you ends. Also, contingency ends on you if its material component is ever not on your person.

Components
V, S, M (a drop of water and a pinch of dust)
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
300 feet
Until the spell ends, you control any freestanding water inside an area you choose that is a cube up to 100 feet on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this spell. As a standard action on your turn, you can repeat the same effect or choose a different one.
Flood. You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 20 feet. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land. If you choose an area in a large body of water, you instead create a 20-foot tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave's path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25 percent chance of capsizing. The water level remains elevated until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts.
Part Water. You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the spell's area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.
Redirect Flow. You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the spell's area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the spell ends or you choose a different effect.
Whirlpool. This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep. You cause a whirlpool to form in the center of the area. The whirlpool forms a vortex that is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and 25 feet tall. Any creature or object in the water and within 25 feet of the vortex is pulled 10 feet toward it. A creature can swim away from the vortex by making a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. When a creature enters the vortex for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is caught in the vortex until the spell ends. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, and isn't caught in the vortex. A creature caught in the vortex can use a standard action to try to swim away from the vortex as described above, but has disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.
The first time each turn that an object enters the vortex, the object takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage; this damage occurs each round it remains in the vortex.

Control Winds

Control Winds

5th-level transmutation
concentration
Components
V, S
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
300 feet
You take control of the air in a 100-foot cube that you can see within range. Choose one of the following effects when you cast the spell. The effect lasts for the spell's duration, unless you use a standard action on a later turn to switch to a different effect. You can also use a standard action to temporarily halt the effect or to restart one you‘ve halted.
Gusts. A wind picks up within the cube, continually blowing in a horizontal direction you designate. You choose the intensity of the wind: calm, moderate, or strong. If the wind is moderate or strong, ranged weapon attacks that enter or leave the cube or pass through it have disadvantage on their attack rolls. If the wind is strong, any creature moving against the wind must spend 1 extra foot of movement for each foot moved.
Downdraft. You cause a sustained blast of strong wind to blow downward from the top of the cube. Ranged weapon attacks that pass through the cube or that are made against targets within it have disadvantage on their attack rolls. A creature must make a Strength saving throw if it flies into the cube for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there flying. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.
Updraft. You cause a sustained updraft within the cube, rising upward from the cube's bottom side. Creatures that end a fall within the cube take only half damage from the fall. When a creature in the cube makes a vertical jump, the creature can jump up to 10 feet higher than normal.

Seven star-like motes of light appear and orbit your head until the spell ends. You can use a minor action to send one of the motes streaking toward one creature or object within 120 feet of you.

Range

A beam of yellow light flashes from your pointing finger, then condenses to linger at a chosen point within range as a glowing bead for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it, the bead blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame that spreads around corners. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes fire damage equal to the total accumulated damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The spell's base damage is 12d6. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage increases by 1d6.
If the glowing bead is touched before the interval has expired, the creature touching it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends immediately, causing the bead to erupt in flame. On a successful save, the creature can throw the bead up to 40 feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the spell ends, and the bead explodes.
The fire damages objects in the area and ignites flammable objects that aren't being worn or carried.

Each time you cast this spell, you can create a new demiplane, or have the shadowy door connect to a demiplane you created with a previous casting of this spell. Additionally, if you know the nature and contents of a demiplane created by a casting of this spell by another creature, you can have the shadowy door connect to its demiplane instead.

Duration

Self
You gain mindsense (30 ft.) for the duration.
When you cast the spell and as a standard action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on a particular creature that you can sense with mindsense to learn its surface thoughts (what is most on its mind at that moment). As a subsequent standard action, you can attempt to probe deeper into that creature's mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make an Intelligence saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature's thoughts, the creature can use a standard action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.
Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.

Range
Self
You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use a standard action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
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.
A creature can also use the Study action to inspect you from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers which aspects of your appearance are illusory.

A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points.
A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or divine intervention.

You place an illusion on a creature or an object you touch so that divination spells reveal false information about it. The target can be a willing creature or an object that isn't being carried or worn by another creature.

False Aura. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects, such as detect magic, that detect magical auras. You can make a nonmagical object appear magical, a magical object appear nonmagical, or change the object's magical aura so that it appears to belong to a specific school of magic that you choose. When you use this effect on an object, you can make the false magic apparent to any creature that handles the item.
Mask. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect creature types or alignments, such as a paladin's Divine Sense or the trigger of a symbol spell.

You attempt to beguile a creature that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.
While the creature is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.
You can use a standard action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use a reaction of your own as well.
Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Charisma saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a 9th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

Blindsight

Blindsight

Base sense: varies
If you have blindsight, you can sense physical shapes within a specified range, allowing you to effectively see creatures and objects within that range. Blindsight doesn't go around cover, nor can it detect color or intangible things. Thus, blindsight enables you to effectively see invisible things, but you can't use it to detect an illusory object created by a spell such as minor illusion.
The base sense of blindsight varies. A common base sense is hearing, in which case blindsight can often be interpreted as echolocation. Some creatures have no base sense for their blindsight; this represents a fundamentally distinct sense, such as a shark's electroreception. When a base sense is present, it is usually given in parentheses after this sense's listing.

Components
V, S, M (a handful of sand, a dab of ink, and a writing quill plucked from a sleeping bird)
Duration
8 hours
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
Special
This spell shapes a creature's dreams. Choose a creature known to you as the target of this spell. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don't sleep, such as elves, can't be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a messenger.
While in the trance, the messenger is aware of his or her surroundings, but can't take actions.
If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in the target's dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains asleep, through the duration of the spell. The messenger can also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes, objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early. The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking. If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in the target's dreams.
You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words and then the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the target's sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit from that rest. In addition, when the target wakes up, it takes 3d6 psychic damage.
If you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or similar portion of the target's body, the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage.

Range
60 feet
Choose an unoccupied 5-foot cube of air that you can see within range. An elemental force that resembles a dust devil appears in the cube and lasts for the spell's duration.
Any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of the dust devil must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet away from the dust devil. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.
As a minor action, you can move the dust devil up to 30 feet in any direction. If the dust devil moves over sand, dust, loose dirt, or light gravel, it sucks up the material and forms a 10-foot-radius cloud of debris around itself that lasts until the start of your next turn. The cloud heavily obscures its area.

Difficult Terrain

Difficult Terrain

Each foot traveled through an area of difficult terrain costs 1 extra foot of movement unless otherwise stated. For example, the difficult terrain created by the plant growth costs 3 extra feet of movement per foot traveled. A creature traveling through an area of overlapping sources of difficult terrain only pays the movement cost of the most expensive terrain.
Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of difficult terrain. The space of another creature, whether hostile or not, also counts as difficult terrain.

You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened.

Components
V, S, M (a pinch of powdered iron)
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
30 feet
You cause a creature or an object you can see within range to grow larger or smaller for the duration. Choose either a creature or an object that is neither worn nor carried. If the target is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell has no effect.
If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.
Enlarge. The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category—from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available. While enlarged in this way, the target gains the following benefits:
  • Its reach increases by 5 feet.
  • It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • Its weapon attacks deal 1d4 extra damage.
Reduce. The target's size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category—from Medium to Small, for example. While reduced in this way, the target suffers the following effects:
  • Its reach decreases by 5 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet).
  • It has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • Its weapon attacks deal 1d4 less damage. This can't reduce an attack's damage below 1.

Choose up to three creatures you can see on the ground within range. Each target must make a Strength saving throw as stone slabs burst out of the ground to trap it. A target takes 3d4 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A target that fails its save becomes trapped in a stone tomb for the duration. An entombed target is restrained and has three-quarters cover from all sources.
Each tomb is an object with AC 15, 20 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. A tomb fills the target's space and blocks movement. An entombed target can use a standard action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, breaking the tomb on a success. A tomb also breaks apart when the spell ends.
When a tomb breaks, or when a target succeeds on the initial saving throw, the target's space becomes difficult terrain. Each 5-foot square of difficult terrain takes at least 1 minute to clear by hand.

You step into the border regions of the Ethereal Plane, in the area where it overlaps with your current plane. You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use a standard action to dismiss the spell. During this time, you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can't see anything more than 60 feet away.
While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can't perceive you and can't interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.
You ignore all objects and effects that aren't on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from.
When the spell ends, you immediately return to the plane you originated from in the spot you currently occupy. If you occupy the same spot as a solid object or creature when this happens, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you are moved.
This spell has no effect if you cast it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn't border it, such as one of the Outer Planes.

For the spell's duration, your eyes become an inky void imbued with dread power. If you can see a creature within 30 feet of you and it can see you, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is affected by one of the following effects of your choice for the duration.
The first time a creature would have to make this saving throw, it can use a reaction to avert its eyes and avoid making the saving throw. While its eyes are averted, it can't see you or anything behind you. It can keep its eyes averted indefinitely, but it must immediately make the saving throw if it looks at you later.
Asleep. The target falls unconscious. It wakes up if it takes any damage or if another creature uses a standard action to shake the sleeper awake.
Panicked. The target is frightened of you. On each of its turns, the frightened creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest and shortest available route, unless there is nowhere to move. If the target moves to a place at least 60 feet away from you where it can no longer see you, this effect ends.

The quality of objects made by the spell is commensurate with the quality of the raw materials.
Creatures or magic items can't be created or transmuted by this spell. You also can't use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan's tools used to craft such objects.

Find Familiar

Find Familiar

1st-level conjuration
ritual
Components
V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier)
Duration
Instantaneous
Casting Time
1 hour
Range
10 feet
You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, chameleon, crab, eel, frog, hare, hawk, hedgehog, monkey, newt, octopus, owl, parrot, piranha, rat, raven, snake, tarantula, toad, weasel, or web spider. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial, Fey, or Fiend (your choice) instead of a Beast, it has the Companion trait, and it can't attack.
A telepathic link exists between you and your familiar while it is within 100 feet of you, allowing you to communicate with it telepathically. While this telepathy persists, you gain the following additional benefits:
  • As a standard action, you can use your familiar's senses of sight and hearing instead of your own until the start of your next turn.
  • When you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can use a reaction to deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your spell attack modifier for the roll.
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As a standard action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As a standard action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.
You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list; your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

Traits

Cling Climb. The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Web Sense. While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.
Web Walker. The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Attacks

Bite. Melee weapon attack; finesse, unarmed. +5 to hit. Hit: 1 poison damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

Special Actions

(3 AP) Web Wrap. The spider wraps an incapacitated creature in the spider's space in silk. The target must be the same size as the spider or smaller. The target is restrained while wrapped. The target or another creature can use a standard action and make a DC 13 Strength check to break the silk and free the target. Any slashing damage dealt to the silk also frees the target (the silk has 10 AC).
The spider can also use this action to construct a web. Making a 5-foot diameter web takes 1 hour, using this action every turn. Noticing the web requires a DC 13 Perception check. A Tiny creature that touches the web must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be restrained, as if by the usual use of this action. The web itself is destroyed if it takes any slashing or fire damage (it has 10 AC).

Range
30 feet
This spell creates a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk remains for the duration, and can hold up to 500 pounds. If more weight is placed on it, the spell ends, and everything on the disk falls to the ground.
The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. If can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes and the like, but it can't cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can't move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom.
If you move more than 100 feet away from the disk (typically because it can't move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.

Freezing Sphere

Duration
Instantaneous
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
300 feet
A frigid globe of cold energy streaks from your fingertips to a point of your choice within range, where it explodes in a 60-foot-radius sphere. Each creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10d6 cold damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
If the globe strikes a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches over an area 30 feet square. This ice lasts for 1 minute. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water are trapped in the ice. A trapped creature can use a standard action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC to break free.
You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. A small globe about the size of a sling stone, cool to the touch, appears in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give the globe to can throw the globe (to a range of 40 feet) or hurl it with a sling (to the sling's normal range). It shatters on impact, with the same effect as the normal casting of the spell. You can also set the globe down without shattering it. After 1 minute, if the globe hasn't already shattered, it explodes.

Range
60 feet
You conjure a portal linking an unoccupied space you can see within range to a precise location on a different plane of existence. The portal is a circular opening, which you can make 5 to 20 feet in diameter. You can orient the portal in any direction you choose. The portal lasts for the duration.
The portal has a front and a back on each plane where it appears. Travel through the portal is possible only by moving through its front. Anything that does so is instantly transported to the other plane, appearing in the unoccupied space nearest to the portal.
Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals created by this spell from opening in their presence or anywhere within their domains.
When you cast this spell, you can speak the name of a specific creature (a pseudonym, title, or nickname doesn't work). If that creature is on a plane other than the one you are on, the portal opens in the named creature's immediate vicinity and draws the creature through it to the nearest unoccupied space on your side of the portal. You gain no special power over the creature, and it is free to act as the DM deems appropriate. It might leave, attack you, or help you.

You place a magical command on a creature that you can see within range, forcing it to carry out some service or refrain from some action or course of activity as you decide. If the creature can understand you, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become cursed for the duration. While cursed in this way, the target is charmed by you. A creature is unaffected by the spell if it can't understand you or is immune to being charmed.
You can issue any command you choose to the charmed target, short of an activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal command, the spell ends. Otherwise, if the target acts in a manner directly counter to your instructions, it takes 5d10 psychic damage. The target can't take this damage more than once per day.
You can end the spell early as a standard action.

Glyph of Warding

Glyph of Warding

3rd-level abjuration
Components
V, S, M (incense and powdered diamond worth at least 200 gp, the spell consumes)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
1 hour
Range
Touch
When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that potentially harms other creatures, either upon a surface (such as a table or a section of floor or wall) or within an object that can be closed (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest) to conceal the glyph. The glyph can cover an area no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If the surface or object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.
The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Investigation check against your spell save DC to find it.
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or standing on the glyph, removing another object covering the glyph, approaching within a certain distance of the glyph, or manipulating the object on which the glyph is inscribed. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers include opening that object, approaching within a certain distance of the object, or seeing or reading the glyph. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends.
You can further refine the trigger so the spell activates only under certain circumstances or according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight), creature kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect Aberrations or goblins), or alignment. You can also set conditions for creatures that don't trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
When you inscribe the glyph, choose explosive runes or a spell glyph.
Explosive Runes. When triggered, the glyph erupts with magical energy in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage on a failed saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as much damage on a successful one.
Spell Glyph. You can store a prepared spell of 3rd level or lower in the glyph by casting it as part of creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or an area. The spell being stored has no immediate effect when cast in this way. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell is cast. If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that triggered the glyph. If the spell affects an area, the area is centered on that creature. If the spell summons hostile creatures or creates harmful objects or traps, they appear as close as possible to the intruder and attack it. If the spell requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an explosive runes glyph increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. If you create a spell glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you use for the glyph of warding.

Otherwise, the target is knocked prone, and if there is space on the platform for it to fit without squeezing, it is carried along with the platform.

Guards and Wards

Duration

Casting Time
10 minutes
Range
Touch
You create a ward that protects up to 2,500 square feet of floor space (an area 50 feet square, or one hundred 5-foot squares or twenty-five 10-foot squares). The warded area can be up to 20 feet tall, and shaped as you desire. You can ward several stories of a stronghold by dividing the area among them, as long as you can walk into each contiguous area while you are casting the spell.
When you cast this spell, you can specify individuals that are unaffected by any or all of the effects that you choose. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects.
Guards and wards creates the following effects within the warded area.
Corridors. Fog fills all the warded corridors, making them heavily obscured. In addition, at each intersection or branching passage offering a choice of direction, there is a 50 percent chance that a creature other than you will believe it is going in the opposite direction from the one it chooses.
Doors. All doors in the warded area are magically locked, as if sealed by an arcane lock spell. In addition, you can cover up to ten doors with an illusion (equivalent to the illusory object function of the minor illusion spell) to make them appear as plain sections of wall.
Stairs. Webs fill all stairs in the warded area from top to bottom, as the web spell. These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while guards and wards lasts.
Other Spell Effect. You can place your choice of one of the following magical effects within the warded area of the stronghold.
  • Place dancing lights in four corridors. You can designate a simple program that the lights repeat as long as guards and wards lasts.
  • Place magic mouth in two locations.
  • Place stinking cloud in two locations. The vapors appear in the places you designate; they return within 10 minutes if dispersed by wind while guards and wards lasts.
  • Place a constant gust of wind in one corridor or room.
  • Place a suggestion in one location. You select an area of up to 5 feet square, and any creature that enters or passes through the area receives the suggestion mentally.
The whole warded area radiates magic. A dispel magic cast on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect.
You can create a permanently guarded and warded structure by casting this spell there every day for one year.

Duration
1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
30 feet
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as a standard action or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
A creature can use the Study action to inspect the sound or image, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the sound or image is illusory. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes translucent (if visible) or faint (if auditory) to that creature.

Web

Web

2nd-level conjuration
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a bit of spiderweb)
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You conjure a mass of thick, sticky webbing at a point of your choice within range. The webs fill a 20-foot cube from that point for the duration. The webs are difficult terrain and cause the area to be lightly obscured.
If the webs aren't anchored between two solid masses (such as walls or trees) or layered across a floor, wall, or ceiling, the conjured web collapses on itself, and the spell ends at the start of your next turn. Webs layered over a flat surface have a depth of 5 feet.
Each creature that starts its turn in the webs or that enters them during its turn must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained as long as it remains in the webs or until it breaks free.
A creature restrained by the webs can use a standard action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, it is no longer restrained.
The webs are flammable. Any 5-foot cube of webs exposed to fire burns away in 1 round, dealing 2d4 fire damage to any creature that starts its turn in the fire.

Magic Mouth

Magic Mouth

2nd-level illusion
ritual
Components
V, S, M (a small bit of honeycomb and jade dust worth at least 10 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
30 feet
You implant a message within an object in range, a message that is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object that you can see and that isn't being worn or carried by another creature. Then speak the message, which must be 25 words or less, though it can be delivered over as long as 10 minutes. Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the spell to deliver your message.
When that circumstance occurs, a magical mouth appears on the object and recites the message in your voice and at the same volume you spoke. If the object you chose has a mouth or something that looks like a mouth (for example, the mouth of a statue), the magical mouth appears there so that the words appear to come from the object's mouth. When you cast this spell, you can have the spell end after it delivers its message, or it can remain and repeat its message whenever the trigger occurs.
The triggering circumstance can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the object. For example, you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves within 30 feet of the object or when a silver bell rings within 30 feet of it.

You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of yellow, nauseating gas centered on a point within range. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. The cloud lingers in the air for the duration.
Each creature that is completely within the cloud at the start of its turn must make a Constitution saving throw against poison. On a failed save, the creature spends a standard action that turn retching and reeling. Creatures that don't need to breathe or are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw.
A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the cloud after 4 rounds. A strong wind (at least 20 miles per hour) disperses it after 1 round.

A line of strong wind 60 feet long and 10 feet wide blasts from you in a direction you choose for the spell's duration. Each creature that starts its turn in the line must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you in a direction following the line.
Any creature in the line must spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves when moving closer to you.
The gust disperses gas or vapor, and it extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50 percent chance to extinguish them.

concentration
Components
V, M (a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil)
Duration
Up to 8 hours
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
30 feet
You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act ends the spell.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.
You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets. If the condition isn't met before the spell expires, the activity isn't performed.
If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.

Hallucinatory Terrain

Hallucinatory Terrain

4th-level illusion
Components
V, S, M (a stone, a twig, and a bit of green plant)
Duration
24 hours
Casting Time
10 minutes
Range
300 feet
You make natural terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Manufactured structures, equipment, and creatures within the area aren't changed in appearance.
The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature can use the Study action to inspect the terrain, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the terrain is illusory. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.

5th-level evocation
concentration
Components
V, S, M (an eggshell and a snakeskin glove)
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
You create a Large hand of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts for the spell's duration, and it moves at your command, mimicking the movements of your own hand.
The hand is an object that has AC 20 and hit points equal to your hit point maximum. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. It has a Strength score of 8 and a Dexterity score of 0. The hand doesn't occupy its space.
When you cast the spell and as a minor action on your subsequent turns, you can move the hand up to 60 feet and then cause one of the following effects with it.
Clenched Fist. The hand strikes one creature or object within 5 feet of it. Make a melee spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 force damage.
Forceful Hand. The hand attempts to push a creature within 5 feet of it in a direction you choose. Make a melee spell attack. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the attack. On a hit, the target must make a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 10 + the hand's Strength score + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, the hand pushes the target in a straight line up to 30 feet, moving with the target to remain within 5 feet of it.
Grasping Hand. The hand attempts to grapple a Huge or smaller creature within 5 feet of it. Make a melee spell attack. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the attack. On a hit, the target is grappled by the hand, with an escape DC of 10 + the hand's Strength score + your proficiency bonus. While the hand is grappling the target, you can use a minor action to have the hand crush it, dealing bludgeoning damage equal to 2d6 + your spellcasting ability score.
Interposing Hand. The hand interposes itself between you and a creature you choose until you give the hand a different command. The hand moves to stay between you and the target, providing you with half cover against the target. The target can't move through the hand's space if its Strength score is less than or equal to the hand's Strength score. If its Strength score is higher than the hand's Strength score, the target can move toward you through the hand's space, but that space is difficult terrain for the target.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage from the clenched fist option increases by 2d8 and the damage from the grasping hand increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 5th.

9th-level abjuration
Components
V, S, M (a vellum depiction or a carved statuette in the likeness of the target, and a special component that varies according to the version of the spell you choose, worth at least 500 gp per Hit Die of the target)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
30 feet
You create a magical restraint to hold a creature that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be bound by the spell; if it succeeds, it is immune to this spell if you cast it again. While affected by this spell, the creature doesn't need to breathe, eat, or drink, and it doesn't age. Divination spells can't locate or perceive the target.
When you cast the spell, you choose one of the following forms of imprisonment.
Burial. The target is entombed far beneath the earth in a sphere of magical force that is just large enough to contain the target. Nothing can pass through the sphere, nor can any creature teleport or use planar travel to get into or out of it.
The special component for this version of the spell is a small mithral orb.
Chaining. Heavy chains, firmly rooted in the ground, hold the target in place. The target is restrained until the spell ends, and it can't move or be moved by any means until then.
The special component for this version of the spell is a fine chain of precious metal.
Hedged Prison. The spell transports the target into a tiny demiplane that is warded against teleportation and planar travel. The demiplane can be a labyrinth, a cage, a tower, or any similar confined structure or area of your choice.
The special component for this version of the spell is a miniature representation of the prison made from jade.
Minimus Containment. The target shrinks to a height of 1 inch and is imprisoned inside a gemstone or similar object. Light can pass through the gemstone normally (allowing the target to see out and other creatures to see in), but nothing else can pass through, even by means of teleportation or planar travel. The gemstone can't be cut or broken while the spell remains in effect.
The special component for this version of the spell is a large, transparent gemstone, such as a corundum, diamond, or ruby.
Slumber. The target falls asleep and can't be awoken.
The special component for this version of the spell consists of rare soporific herbs.
Ending the Spell. During the casting of the spell, in any of its versions, you can specify a condition that will cause the spell to end and release the target. The condition can be as specific or as elaborate as you choose, but the DM must agree that the condition is reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass. The conditions can be based on a creature's name, identity, or deity but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities and not based on intangibles such as level, class, or hit points.
A dispel magic spell can end the spell only if it is cast as a 9th-level spell, targeting either the prison or the special component used to create it.
You can use a particular special component to create only one prison at a time. If you cast the spell again using the same component, the target of the first casting is immediately freed from its binding.

Duration
Instantaneous
Casting Time
10 minutes
Range
Self
Name or describe a person, place, or object. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been widely known. If the thing you named isn't of legendary importance, you gain no information. The more information you already have about the thing, the more precise and detailed the information you receive is.
The information you learn is accurate but might be couched in figurative language. For example, if you have a mysterious magic axe on hand, the spell might yield this information: "Woe to the evildoer whose hand touches the axe, for even the haft slices the hand of the evil ones. Only a true Child of Stone, lover and beloved of Moradin, may awaken the true powers of the axe, and only with the sacred word Rudnogg on the lips."

The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as a wall or a ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were climbing. You can change the target's altitude by up to 20 feet in either direction on your turn. If you are the target, you can move up or down as part of your move. Otherwise, you can use a standard action to move the target, which must remain within the spell's range.

Components
V, S, M (a gem, crystal, reliquary, or some other ornamental container worth at least 500 gp)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
Self
Your body falls into a catatonic state as your soul leaves it and enters the container you used for the spell's material component. While your soul inhabits the container, you are aware of your surroundings as if you were in the container's space. You can't use reactions. The only action you can take is to project your soul up to 100 feet out of the container as a standard action, either returning to your living body (and ending the spell) or attempting to possess a Humanoid's body.
You can attempt to possess any Humanoid within 100 feet of you that you can see (creatures warded by a protection from evil and good or magic circle spell can't be possessed). The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, your soul moves into the target's body, and the target's soul becomes trapped in the container. On a success, the target resists your efforts to possess it, and you can't attempt to possess it again for 24 hours.
Once you possess a creature's body, you control it. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature, though you retain your alignment and your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You retain the benefit of your own class features. If the target has any class levels, you can't use any of its class features.
Meanwhile, the possessed creature's soul can perceive from the container using its own senses, but it can't take actions or reactions at all.
While possessing a body, you can use a standard action to return from the host body to the container if it is within 100 feet of you, returning the host creature's soul to its body. If the host body dies while you're in it, the creature dies, and you must make a Charisma saving throw against your own spellcasting DC. On a success, you return to the container if it is within 100 feet of you. Otherwise, you die.
If the container is destroyed or the spell ends, your soul immediately returns to your body. If your body is more than 100 feet away from you or if your body is dead when you attempt to return to it, you die. If another creature's soul is in the container when it is destroyed, the creature's soul returns to its body if the body is alive and within 100 feet. Otherwise, that creature dies.
When the spell ends, the container is destroyed.

Major Image

Major Image

3rd-level illusion
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can't create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte's stench).
As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use a standard action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature can also use the Study action to inspect the image from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the image is illusory. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes translucent and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell lasts until dispelled, without requiring your concentration.

A creature takes 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Transformed

Transformed

While transformed into a creature, you experience the following effects:
  • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature, including hit points, hit dice, and mental ability scores. You retain your alignment and personality. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
  • You are limited in the actions you can perform by the nature of your new form. You can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech, unless your new form is capable of such actions. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, nor prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell that you've already cast.
  • Your equipment melds into your new form and has no effect.

Range

You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence up to twelve creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.
Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.
You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a group of soldiers give all their money to the first beggar they meet. If the condition isn't met before the spell ends, the activity isn't performed.
If you or any of your companions damage a creature affected by this spell, the spell ends for that creature.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 7th-level spell slot, the duration is 10 days. When you use an 8th-level spell slot, the duration is 30 days. When you use a 9th-level spell slot, the duration is a year and a day.

Components

Duration

Casting Time

Range
1 mile
A fortress of stone erupts from a square area of ground of your choice that you can see within range. The area is 120 feet on each side, and it must not have any buildings or other structures on it. Any creatures in the area are harmlessly lifted up as the fortress rises.
The fortress has four turrets with square bases, each one 20 feet on a side and 30 feet tall, with one turret on each corner. The turrets are connected to each other by stone walls that are each 80 feet long, creating an enclosed area. Each wall is 1 foot thick and is composed of panels that are 10 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Each panel is contiguous with two other panels or one other panel and a turret. You can place up to four stone doors in the fortress's outer wall.
A small keep stands inside the enclosed area. The keep has a square base that is 50 feet on each side, and it has three floors with 10-foot-high ceilings. Each of the floors can be divided into as many rooms as you like, provided each room is at least 5 feet on each side. The floors of the keep are connected by stone staircases, its walls are 6 inches thick, and interior rooms can have stone doors or open archways as you choose. The keep is furnished and decorated however you like, and it contains sufficient food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to 100 people each day. Furnishings, food, and other objects created by this spell crumble to dust if removed from the fortress.
A staff of one hundred invisible servants obeys any command given to them by creatures you designate when you cast the spell. Each servant functions as if created by the unseen servant spell.
The walls, turrets, and keep are all made of stone that can be damaged. Each 10-foot-by-10-foot section of stone has AC 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. It is immune to poison and psychic damage. Reducing a section of stone to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected sections to buckle and collapse at the DM's discretion. After 7 days or when you cast this spell somewhere else, the fortress harmlessly crumbles and sinks back into the ground, leaving any creatures that were inside it safely on the ground.
Casting this spell on the same spot once every 7 days for a year makes the fortress permanent.

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is immune to psychic damage, any effect that would sense its emotions or read its thoughts (including mindsense), divination spells, and the charmed condition. The spell even foils divine intervention or effects of similar power used to affect the target's mind or to gain information about the target.

You reach into the mind of one creature you can see within range.

On a failed save, you also always know the target's location until the spell ends, but only while the two of 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.

Mirage Arcane

Mirage Arcane

7th-level illusion
Components
V, S
Duration
10 days
Casting Time
10 minutes
Range
Sight
You make terrain in an area up to 1 mile square look, sound, smell, and even feel like some other sort of terrain. The terrain's general shape remains the same, however. Open fields or a road could be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.
Similarly, you can alter the appearance of structures, or add them where none are present. The spell doesn't disguise, conceal, or add creatures.
The illusion includes audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory elements, so it can turn clear ground into difficult terrain (or vice versa) or otherwise impede movement through the area. Any piece of the illusory terrain (such as a rock or stick) that is removed from the spell's area disappears immediately.
Creatures with truesight can see through the illusion to the terrain's true form; however, all other elements of the illusion remain, so while the creature is aware of the illusion's presence, the creature can still physically interact with the illusion.

Components

Duration
1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
Self
Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it's impossible to track which image is real. You can use a standard Magic action to dismiss the illusory duplicates.
Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell's duration, roll a d12. If all three of your duplicates remain and you roll a 4 or higher, the attack instead targets one of your duplicates. You must roll a 5 or higher if two duplicates remain, or 7 or higher if one remains.
A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your Dexterity score. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.
A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can't see, if it can effectively see with a sense other than sight (such as blindsight), or if it can perceive illusions as false (such as with truesight).

Mirror Mansion

Mirror Mansion

7th-level conjuration
Components
V, S, M (a miniature portal carved from ivory, a small piece of polished marble, and a tiny silver spoon, each item worth at least 5 gp)
Duration
24 hours
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
300 feet
You open a portal in range that lasts for the duration. The entrance is 5 feet wide and 10 feet tall, but otherwise its appearance is up to you. You and any creature you designate when you cast the spell can pass through the portal as long as it remains open. You can open or close the portal if you are within 30 feet of it. While closed, the portal is invisible.
Beyond the portal is an extradimensional dwelling suited to your needs. When you cast the spell, you determine the interior atmosphere and layout. You can create any floor plan you like, but the space can't exceed 50 cubes, each cube being 10 feet on each side. The dwelling can have the following contents:
  • Sufficient food to serve a nine course banquet for up to 100 people.
  • A staff of up to 100 translucent servants. You decide the visual appearance of these servants and their attire. They are completely obedient to your orders. Each servant can perform any task a normal human servant could perform, but they can't attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on. The servants can go anywhere in the space but can't leave it.
  • Any furnishings and other objects you like.
Anything created by this spell dissipates into smoke if removed from the space. When the entrance portal disappears, any creatures or objects left inside the extradimensional space are expelled into the open spaces nearest to the entrance.
If you cast this spell while a portal still remains from a previous casting of yours, you create another portal to the existing mansion, adjusting the floor plan minimally to accomodate the new entrance. As long as at least one entrance remains, creatures can stay in the space.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the portal you create lasts until dispelled.

Modify Memory

Modify Memory

5th-level enchantment
concentration
curse
Components
V, S
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
30 feet
You attempt to reshape another creature's memories. One creature that you can see must make an Intelligence saving throw. If you are fighting the creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the duration. The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and none of the target's memories are modified.
While this charm lasts, you can affect the target's memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. 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.
You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and it must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. Its 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 target is cursed when the spell ends, causing the modified memories to take hold. Removing this curse restores the creature's original memories.
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 DM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can alter the target's memories of an event that took place up to 7 days ago (6th level), 30 days ago (7th level), 1 year ago (8th level), or any time in the creature's past (9th level).

You choose a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:
  • If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate it, move it along the ground, and deposit it up to 5 feet away. This movement doesn't involve enough force to cause damage.
  • You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.
  • If the dirt or stone you target is on the ground, you cause it to become difficult terrain. Alternatively, you can cause the ground to become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as a standard action.

You attempt to turn one creature that you can see within range into stone. If the target's body is made of flesh, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained as its flesh begins to harden. On a successful save, the creature isn't affected.
A creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends. If it fails its saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the petrified condition for the duration. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind.
If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the entire possible duration, the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed.

Phantasmal Force

Phantasmal Force

2nd-level illusion
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You craft an illusion that takes root in the mind of a creature that you can see within range. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you create a phantasmal object, creature, or other visible phenomenon of your choice that is no larger than a 10-foot cube and that is perceivable only to the target for the duration. This spell has no effect on Constructs or Undead.
The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and other stimuli, also evident only to the creature.
The target can use the Study action to inspect the phantasm, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target realizes that the phantasm is an illusion, and the spell ends.
While a target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. The target rationalizes any illogical outcomes from interacting with the phantasm. For example, a target attempting to walk across a phantasmal bridge that spans a chasm falls once it steps onto the bridge. If the target survives the fall, it still believes that the bridge exists and comes up with some other explanation for its fall—it was pushed, it slipped, or a strong wind might have knocked it off.
An affected target is so convinced of the phantasm's reality that it can even take damage from the illusion. A phantasm created to appear as a creature can attack the target. Similarly, a phantasm created to appear as fire, a pool of acid, or lava can burn the target. Each round on your turn, the phantasm can deal 1d6 psychic damage to the target if it is in the phantasm's area or within 5 feet of the phantasm, provided that the illusion is of a creature or hazard that could logically deal damage, such as by attacking. The target perceives the damage as a type appropriate to the illusion.

Duration

Casting Time
1 hour
Range

With this spell, you attempt to bind a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend to your service. The creature must be within range for the entire casting of the spell. (Typically, the creature is first summoned into the center of an inverted magic circle in order to keep it trapped while this spell is cast.) At the completion of the casting, the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it is bound to serve you for the duration. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell's duration is extended to match the duration of this spell.
A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of its ability. You might command the creature to accompany you on an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to achieve its own objectives. If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of a higher level, the duration increases to 10 days with a 6th-level slot, to 30 days with a 7th-level slot, to 180 days with an 8th-level slot, and to a year and a day with a 9th-level spell slot.

You and up to eight willing creatures who link hands in a circle are transported to a different plane of existence.

If you are trying to reach the City of Brass, for example, you might arrive in its Street of Steel, before its Gate of Ashes, or looking at the city from across the Sea of Fire, at the DM's discretion.
Alternatively, if you know the sigil sequence of a teleportation circle on another plane of existence, this spell can take you to that circle. If the teleportation circle is too small to hold all the creatures you transported, they appear in the closest unoccupied spaces next to the circle.
You can use this spell to banish an unwilling creature to another plane. Choose a creature within your reach and make a melee spell attack against it. On a hit, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails this save, it is transported to a random location on the plane of existence you specify. A creature so transported must find its own way back to your current plane of existence.

Finally, if the target tries to cast a spell, it must first succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or the casting fails and the spell is wasted.

Components
V, S
Duration
1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
10 feet
This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range:
  • You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.
  • You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
  • You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
  • You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
  • You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
  • You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as a standard action.

Self
Eight multicolored rays of light flash from your hand. Each ray is a different color and has a different power and purpose. Each creature in a 60-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. For each target, roll a d8 to determine which color ray affects it.
1. Red. The target takes 10d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
2. Orange. The target takes 10d6 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
3. Yellow. The target takes 10d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
4. Green. The target takes 10d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
5. Blue. The target takes 10d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
6. Indigo. On a failed save, the target is restrained. It must then make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves three times, the spell ends. If it fails its save three times, it permanently turns to stone and is subjected to the petrified condition. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind.
7. Violet. On a failed save, the target is blinded. It must then make a Charisma saving throw at the start of your next turn. A successful save ends the blindness. If it fails that save, the creature is transported to another plane of existence of the DM's choosing and is no longer blinded. (Typically, a creature that is on a plane that isn't its home plane is banished home, while other creatures are usually cast into the Astral or Ethereal planes.)
8. Special. The target is struck by two rays. Roll twice more, rerolling any 8.

Programmed Illusion

Programmed Illusion

6th-level illusion
Components
V, S, M (a bit of fleece and jade dust worth at least 25 gp)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
You create an illusion of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon within range that activates when a specific condition occurs. The illusion is imperceptible until then. It must be no larger than a 30-foot cube, and you decide when you cast the spell how the illusion behaves and what sounds it makes. This scripted performance can last up to 5 minutes.
When the condition you specify occurs, the illusion springs into existence and performs in the manner you described. Once the illusion finishes performing, it disappears and remains dormant for 10 minutes. After this time, the illusion can be activated again.
The triggering condition can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the area. For example, you could create an illusion of yourself to appear and warn off others who attempt to open a trapped door, or you could set the illusion to trigger only when a creature says the correct word or phrase.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature can also use the Study action to inspect the image from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the image is illusory. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.

You create an illusory copy of yourself that lasts for the duration. The copy can appear at any location within range that you have seen before, regardless of intervening obstacles.

You can use a standard action to move this illusion up to twice your speed, and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose. It mimics your mannerisms perfectly.
The illusion has the same senses of sight and hearing as you do, including any special senses. You can use its senses of sight and hearing instead of your own, and can swap back and forth as a minor action.

Components
V, S
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You turn the ground within 10 feet of a point you can see within range into treacherous quicksand. The area becomes difficult terrain, requiring 4 feet of movement spent for every 1 foot traveled.
A creature that ends its turn on the sand must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target sinks halfway into the ground. A half-sunken target is hindered, has half cover from all sources, can't fly, and is immune to forced movement.
At the end of a half-sunken creature's turn, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or sink further down, becoming mostly-sunken. In addition to the above effects, a mostly-sunken target is restrained and has three-quarters cover from all sources.
At the end of a mostly-sunken creature's turn, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become fully-sunken. In addition to the above effects, a fully-sunken target is suffocating and has total cover from all sources.
A sunken target immediately stops sinking if it leaves the area, and any time it succeeds on a Strength saving throw against the spell, its sunkenness decreases by one stage, potentially freeing itself. Additionally, a sunken target or nearby creature can use a standard action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC to attempt to pull the target out. On a success, the target's sunkenness decreases by one stage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the area of effect increases by 5 feet in radius for each slot level above 3rd.

Suffocating

Suffocating

While you are suffocating, keep track of how many rounds go by. For a number of rounds equal to your Constitution score (minimum of 1 round), nothing happens. At the start of your next turn, you drop to 0 hit points and are dying, and you can't regain hit points or be stabilized until you can breathe again.
You can hold your breath for a number of minutes equal to 1 + your Constitution score (minimum of 30 seconds). After that, you start suffocating.

Dying

Dying

While you are dying, make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw—called a death saving throw—at the start of each of your turns. Keep track of your successes and failures. You automatically suffer 1 failure each time you take damage while dying, or 2 failures if the damage was from a critical hit. If you reach 3 failures, you die. If you reach 3 successes, you stop dying. If you stop dying for any reason, stop tracking your successes and failures; the counts don't carry over to the next time you are dying.
On a roll of 20 or higher on a death saving throw, you regain 1 hit point.

Ending This Condition

The condition ends if you regain hit points. This condition can also be ended without healing you, such as via the Heal action.

Causes of This Condition

If you aren't already dying, you start dying when you are reduced to 0 hit points (you also fall unconscious) and there is at least 1 point of excess damage.

You make an area within range magically secure. The area is a cube that can be as small as 5 feet to as large as 100 feet on each side. The spell lasts for the duration or until you use a standard action to dismiss it.
When you cast the spell, you decide what sort of security the spell provides, choosing any or all of the following properties:
  • Sound can't pass through the barrier at the edge of the warded area.
  • The barrier of the warded area appears dark and foggy, preventing vision (including darkvision) through it.
  • Sensors created by divination spells can't appear inside the protected area or pass through the barrier at its perimeter.
  • Creatures in the area can't be targeted by divination spells.
  • Nothing can teleport into or out of the warded area.
  • Planar travel is blocked within the warded area.
Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can increase the size of the cube by 100 feet for each slot level beyond 4th. Thus you could protect a cube that can be up to 200 feet on one side by using a spell slot of 5th level.

Seeming

5th-level illusion
Components
V, S
Duration
8 hours
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
30 feet
This spell allows you to change the appearance of any number of creatures that you can see within range. You give each target you choose a new, illusory appearance. An unwilling target can make a Charisma saving throw, and if it succeeds, it is unaffected by this spell.
The spell disguises physical appearance as well as clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment. You can make each creature seem 1 foot shorter or taller and appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change a target's body type, so you must choose a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The spell lasts for the duration, unless you use a standard action to dismiss it sooner.
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 a creature's outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel the creature's 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.
A creature can also use the Study action to inspect a target from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers which aspects of the target's appearance are illusory.

Self
You are transformed into different creature for the duration. The new form can be of any creature with a challenge rating equal to your level or lower. The creature can't be a Construct or an Undead, and you must have seen the sort of creature at least once. You transform into an average example of that creature, one without any class levels or the Spellcasting trait.
When you transform in this way, you retain your alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus listed in its statistics is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus in place of yours.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them, provided that your new form is physically capable of doing so. You use the new form's senses instead of your own. You can only speak if the creature can normally speak.
When you transform, you choose whether your equipment falls to the ground, merges into the new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal. The DM determines whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change shape or size to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge into your new form. Equipment that merges has no effect in that state.
During this spell's duration, you can use a standard action to assume a different form following the same restrictions and rules for the original form, with one exception: if your new form has more hit points than your current one, your hit points remain at their current value.

Dim, greenish light spreads within a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range. The light spreads around corners, and it lasts until the spell ends.

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

This condition is cumulative. Each time you receive it, you gain a specified number of levels of exhaustion. You die if your exhaustion level reaches or exceeds 10.

Effects of This Condition

  • When you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you subtract your exhaustion level from the d20 roll.
  • Subtract your exhaustion level from the spell save DC of any spell you cast.

Ending This Condition

You can reduce your exhaustion by resting.

Causes of This Condition

A common source of exhaustion is dropping to 0 hit points.

Silent Image

Silent Image

1st-level illusion
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.
You can use a standard action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature can also use the Study action to inspect the image from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the image is illusory. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Simulacrum

9th-level illusion
Components
V, S, M (wood, stone, snow, or other material in quantities sufficient to made a life-size copy of the duplicated creature; some hair, fingernail clippings, or other piece of that creature's body placed inside the snow or ice; and powdered ruby worth 1,500 gp, sprinkled over the duplicate and consumed by the spell)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
12 hours
Range
Touch
You shape an illusory duplicate of one Beast or Humanoid that is within range for the entire casting time of the spell. The duplicate is a creature, partially real and formed from the material components of the spell, and it can take actions and otherwise be affected as a normal creature. It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's hit point maximum and is formed without any equipment. Otherwise, the illusion uses all the statistics of the creature it duplicates, except that it is a Construct.
The simulacrum is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes and acting on your turn in combat. The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful, so it never increases its level or other abilities, nor can it regain expended spell slots.
If the simulacrum is damaged, you can repair it in an alchemical laboratory, using rare herbs and minerals worth 100 gp per hit point it regains. The simulacrum lasts until it drops to 0 hit points, at which point it reverts to snow and melts instantly.
If you cast this spell again, any currently active duplicates you created with this spell are instantly destroyed.

Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.

V, S, M (a tiny silver cage worth 100 gp)
Duration
8 hours
Casting Time
1 reaction, which you take when a Humanoid you can see within 60 feet of you dies
Range
60 feet
This spell snatches the soul of a Humanoid as it dies and traps it inside the tiny cage you use for the material component. A stolen soul remains inside the cage until the spell ends or until you destroy the cage, which ends the spell. While you have a soul inside the cage, you can exploit it in any of the ways described below. You can use a trapped soul up to six times. Once you exploit a soul for the sixth time, it is released, and the spell ends. While a soul is trapped, the dead humanoid it came from can't be revived.
Steal Life. You can use a minor action to drain vigor from the soul and regain 2d8 hit points.
Query Soul. You ask the soul a question (no action required) and receive a brief telepathic answer, which you can understand regardless of the language used. The soul knows only what it knew in life, but it must answer you truthfully and to the best of its ability. The answer is no more than a sentence or two and might be cryptic.
Borrow Experience. You can use a minor action to bolster yourself with the soul's life experience, making your next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage. If you don't use this benefit before the start of your next turn, it is lost.
Eyes of the Dead. You can use a standard action to name a place the humanoid saw in life, which creates an invisible sensor somewhere in that place if it is on the plane of existence you're currently on. The sensor remains for as long as you maintain concentration, up to 10 minutes. You can see and hear as if you were in the sensor's space in addition to your own space.
A creature that can see the sensor (such as one using see invisibility or truesight) sees a translucent image of the tormented humanoid whose soul you caged.

You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be Undead. The spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days.
Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.

You cause a solid pillar to rapidly extrude from an earth or stone surface that you can see within range. The pillar is a cylinder with a diameter of 5 feet and a length of up to 30 feet. The surface must be large enough in area to contain the diameter of the cylinder.
Each target in the path of the pillar must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be pushed along with the pillar and any other targets in the way. A creature can willingly fail this save. Due to the speed of the pillar's growth, you can cause each target that failed its save to be pushed up to 10 feet beyond where the pillar stops.
The pillar's growth is stopped by an immovable obstacle or a Huge or larger target. The blocking obstacle and each target pushed by the pillar takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the original surface was difficult terrain. Whether or not it reached its full length, the pillar retracts immediately after its growth stops.

Summon Dragon

Summon Dragon

5th-level conjuration

Components
V, S, M (an object with the image of a dragon engraved on it, worth at least 500 gp)
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You summon a dragon of your choice: a dragon of destruction, dragon of wisdom, or dragon of isolation. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The dragon has the Companion trait in addition to its usual traits.
The dragon disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. If you give this spell's material component to the dragon and concentrate on this spell for the full duration, the dragon loses the Companion trait and does not disappear until the item is taken from it.

Variant: Different Dragons

Different kinds of dragons may satisfy the archetypes presented in this spell. At your DM's discretion, you may be able to summon a dragon with a different damage immunity, type of elemental damage dealt, and Breath Weapon shape (a 60-foot line instead of a 30-foot cone) and saving throw.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

Summon Elemental

Summon Elemental

4th-level conjuration
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a bottle containing elemental air, earth, fire, or water, which can be prepared in a 1-hour ritual by expending at least 400 gp worth of special materials)
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
90 feet
You summon an elemental based on the material component used to cast this spell: a fire elemental for fire, a water elemental for water, an earth elemental for earth, or an air elemental for air. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The creature has the Companion trait in addition to its usual traits.
The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
You can cast this spell on an existing Medium or Large mass of nonmagical fire, water, earth, or air within range instead of summoning an elemental from nothing. This casting of the spell animates the mass to form an elemental of the corresponding element and size, assuming you also have the matching material component. If you pour the spell's material component into the animated elemental, consuming it, and concentrate on the spell for the full duration, the elemental loses the Companion trait and does not disappear.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

The resulting creature has the same game statistics as above, except it is Small if the remains were Small. When you cast the spell in this way and concentrate on it for the full duration, the material component shatters, and the undead loses the Companion trait and does not disappear.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

Casting Time

Range
Touch
When you cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on a surface (such as a section of floor, a wall, or a table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest). If you choose a surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.
The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Investigation check against your spell save DC to find it.
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or stepping on the glyph, removing another object covering it, approaching within a certain distance of it, or manipulating the object that holds it. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers are opening the object, approaching within a certain distance of it, or seeing or reading the glyph.
You can further refine the trigger so the spell is activated only under certain circumstances or according to a creature's physical characteristics (such as height or weight), or physical kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect hags or shapechangers). You can also specify creatures that don't trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
When you inscribe the glyph, choose one of the options below for its effect. Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a 60-foot-radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time the spell ends. Each creature in the sphere when the glyph activates is targeted by its effect, as is a creature that enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.
Death. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d10 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save.
Discord. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target bickers and argues with other creatures for 1 minute. During this time, it is incapable of meaningful communication and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.
Fear. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes frightened for 1 minute on a failed save. While frightened, the target drops whatever it is holding and must move at least 30 feet away from the glyph on each of its turns, if able.
Hopelessness. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is overwhelmed with despair for 1 minute. During this time, it can't attack or target any creature with harmful abilities, spells, or other magical effects.
Insanity. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is driven insane for 1 minute. An insane creature can't take actions, can't understand what other creatures say, can't read, and speaks only in gibberish. The DM controls its movement, which is erratic.
Pain. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw and becomes incapacitated with excruciating pain for 1 minute on a failed save.
Sleep. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and falls unconscious for 10 minutes on a failed save. A creature awakens if it takes damage or if someone uses a standard action to shake or slap it awake.
Stunning. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes stunned for 1 minute on a failed save.

You gain the ability to move or manipulate creatures or objects by thought. When you cast the spell, and as a standard action each round for the duration, you can exert your will on one creature or object that you can see within range, causing the appropriate effect below. You can affect the same target round after round, or choose a new one at any time. If you switch targets, the prior target is no longer affected by the spell.
Creature. You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. Make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by the creature's Strength check. If you win the contest, you move the creature up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward but not beyond the range of this spell. Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained in your telekinetic grip. A creature lifted upward is suspended in mid-air.
On subsequent rounds, you can use a standard action to attempt to maintain your telekinetic grip on the creature by repeating the contest.
Object. You can try to move an object that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If the object isn't being worn or carried, you automatically move it up to 30 feet in any direction, but not beyond the range of this spell.
If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by that creature's Strength check. If you succeed, you pull the object away from that creature and can move it up to 30 feet in any direction but not beyond the range of this spell.
You can exert fine control on objects with your telekinetic grip, such as manipulating a simple tool, opening a door or a container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents from a vial.

Casting Time

Range
10 feet
This spell teleports you and up to eight willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range, or a single object that you can see within range, to a destination you select. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and it can't be held or carried by an unwilling creature.
The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully. The DM rolls d100 and consults the table.

Description01-4344-5354-7374-100
False destination01-5051-100——
Familiarity. "Permanent circle" means a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know. "Associated object" means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard's library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a lich's secret tomb.
"Very familiar" is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell. "Seen casually" is someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren't very familiar. "Viewed once" is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic. "Description" is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else's description, perhaps from a map.
"False destination" is a place that doesn't exist. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy's sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists.
On Target. You and your group (or the target object) appear where you want to.
Off Target. You and your group (or the target object) appear a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10 × 1d10 percent of the distance that was to be traveled. For example, if you tried to travel 120 miles, landed off target, and rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then you would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. The DM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. If you were teleporting to a coastal city and wound up 18 miles out at sea, you could be in trouble.
Similar Area. You and your group (or the target object) wind up in a different area that's visually or thematically similar to the target area. If you are heading for your home laboratory, for example, you might wind up in another wizard's laboratory or in an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same tools and implements as your laboratory. Generally, you appear in the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, you could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane.
Mishap. The spell's unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. Each teleporting creature (or the target object) takes 3d10 force damage, and the DM rerolls on the table to see where you wind up (multiple mishaps can occur, dealing damage each time).

Teleportation Circle

Teleportation Circle

5th-level conjuration
Components
V, M (rare chalks and inks infused with precious gems with 50 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration
1 round
Casting Time
1 minute
Range
10 feet
As you cast the spell, you draw a 10-foot-diameter circle on the ground inscribed with sigils that link your location to a permanent teleportation circle of your choice whose sigil sequence you know and that is on the same plane of existence as you. A shimmering portal opens within the circle you drew and remains open until the end of your next turn. Any creature that enters the portal instantly teleports to the destination circle or to the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
Many major temples, guilds, and other important places have permanent teleportation circles inscribed somewhere within their confines. Each such circle includes a unique sigil sequence—a string of magical runes arranged in a particular pattern. When you first gain the ability to cast this spell, you learn the sigil sequences for two destinations on the Material Plane, determined by the DM. You can learn additional sigil sequences during your adventures. You can commit a new sigil sequence to memory after studying it for 1 minute.
You can create a permanent teleportation circle by casting this spell in the same location every day for one year. You need not use the circle to teleport when you cast the spell in this way.

Up to 2 hours
Casting Time

Range
120 feet
Choose an area of terrain no larger than 40 feet on a side within range. You can reshape dirt, sand, or clay in the area in any manner you choose for the duration. You can raise or lower the area's elevation, create or fill in a trench, erect or flatten a wall, or form a pillar. The extent of any such changes can't exceed half the area's largest dimension. So, if you affect a 40-foot square, you can create a pillar up to 20 feet high, raise or lower the square's elevation by up to 20 feet, dig a trench up to 20 feet deep, and so on. It takes 10 minutes for these changes to complete.
At the end of every 10 minutes you spend concentrating on the spell, you can choose a new area of terrain to affect.
Because the terrain's transformation occurs slowly, creatures in the area can't usually be trapped or injured by the ground's movement.
This spell can't manipulate natural stone or stone construction. Rocks and structures shift to accommodate the new terrain. If the way you shape the terrain would make a structure unstable, it might collapse.
Similarly, this spell doesn't directly affect plant growth. The moved earth carries any plants along with it.

You touch one Tiny, nonmagical object that isn't attached to another object or a surface and isn't being carried by another creature. The target animates and sprouts little arms and legs, becoming a Tiny Servant until the spell ends.
The creature has the Companion trait in addition to is usual traits. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 120 feet of you, issuing specific instructions for which actions to take or a simple, general command, such as "fetch the library key" or "defend against intruders". (If you control multiple creatures with this spell, you can command any or all of them as part of the same action, issuing the same general command to each one.) Once given a general command, the servant continues to follow that order until its task is complete, and may even use actions not normally available to companions to do so.

Casting Time

Range
120 feet
You choose an area of stone or mud that you can see that fits within a 40-foot cube and is within range, and choose one of the following effects.
Transmute Rock to Mud. Nonmagical rock of any sort in the area becomes an equal volume of thick, flowing mud that remains for the spell's duration.
The ground in the spell's area becomes muddy enough that creatures can sink into it. Each foot that a creature moves through the mud costs 4 feet of movement, and any creature on the ground when you cast the spell must make a Strength saving throw. A creature must also make the saving throw when it moves into the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. On a failed save, a creature sinks into the mud and is restrained, though it can use a standard action to end the restrained condition on itself by pulling itself free of the mud.
If you cast the spell on a ceiling, the mud falls. Any creature under the mud when it falls must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Transmute Mud to Rock. Nonmagical mud or quicksand in the area no more than 10 feet deep transforms into soft stone for the spell's duration. Any creature in the mud when it transforms must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a successful save, a creature is shunted safely to the surface in an unoccupied space. On a failed save, a creature becomes restrained by the rock. A restrained creature, or another creature within reach, can use a standard action to try to break the rock by succeeding on a DC 20 Strength check or by dealing damage to it. The rock has AC 15 and 25 hit points, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.

Wall of Dirt

Components
S
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
60 feet
A nonmagical wall of compact dirt rises from the ground at a point you choose within range. The wall is 3 inches thick, up to 10 feet high, and up to 20 feet long.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (you choose which side). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it can use a reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall
The wall is an object that can be damaged and thus breached. Each 5-foot long section has AC 8, 10 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it, leaving behind a 5-foot square of difficult terrain that takes at least 1 minute to clear by hand.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can extend the length of the wall by 5 feet for each slot level above 2nd.

Wall of Flesh

4th-level transmutation
concentration
Components
V, S, M (an eyeball with the optic nerve still attached)
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
You create a wall of living flesh within range. The wall is 1 foot thick, up to 10 feet tall, and up to 40 feet long in a straight line. It must be supported underneath by a solid surface at all times. If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (you choose which side).
The wall is an object with 10 AC and immunity to psychic damage and forced movement. It starts with 2 hit points for every foot of its length, regardless of its height. The wall has no hit point maximum. Whenever it gains or loses hit points, the wall must grow or shrink so that its length in feet is equal to half its current hit points. You determine the amount by which it grows (or shrinks) in each direction, potentially pushing creatures lengthwise according to the rules in the next paragraph. The wall can't gain hit points if there isn't space for it to grow.
At the start of each of your turns, the wall regenerates 20 hit points. As a minor action, you can cause the wall to move up to 5 feet in a direction of your choice, automatically pushing Large or smaller creatures along with it. A Huge or larger creature in the wall's way can make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, preventing the wall's movement on a success; otherwise, it is also pushed.
The wall has eyes that grant it darkvision (30 ft.). When a creature the wall can see starts its turn within 5 feet of the wall, the wall attacks it with fleshy tendrils. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage, and if the target is Large or smaller, it is grappled by the wall (escape DC equals your spell save DC).
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the wall can start up to 20 feet longer and regenerates an additional 10 hit points per turn for each slot level above 4th.

5th-level evocation
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a pinch of powder made by crushing a clear gemstone)
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
An invisible wall of force springs into existence at a point you choose within range. The wall appears in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or at an angle. It can be free floating or resting on a solid surface. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 10 feet, or you can shape a flat surface made up of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1/4 inch thick. It lasts for the duration. If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice which side).
Nothing can physically pass through the wall. The wall even extends into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel through the wall. It can't be dispelled by dispel magic, but a disintegrate spell destroys the wall instantly.
The wall can also be attacked. It has 100 hit points and 20 AC. If the wall is destroyed by reducing it to 0 hit points, it creates a brief planar convergence. Each creature within 5 feet of the wall must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or take 4d10 force damage. A target that fails the save by 10 or more is transported to the Ethereal Plane if it was on the plane the spell was cast in or vice versa.

You create a wall of ice on a solid surface within range. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 10 feet, or you can shape a flat surface made up of ten 10-foot-square panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1 foot thick and lasts for the duration.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature within its area is pushed to one side of the wall and must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 10d6 cold damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.
The wall is an object that can be damaged and thus breached. It has AC 12 and 30 hit points per 10-foot section, and it is vulnerable to fire damage. Reducing a 10-foot section of wall to 0 hit points destroys it and leaves behind a sheet of frigid air in the space the wall occupied. A creature moving through the sheet of frigid air for the first time on a turn must make a Constitution saving throw. That creature takes 5d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage the wall deals when it appears increases by 2d6, and the damage from passing through the sheet of frigid air increases by 1d6, for each slot level above 6th.

A shimmering wall of bright light appears at a point you choose within range. The wall appears in any orientation you choose: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can be free floating, or it can rest on a solid surface. The wall can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall emits light (120/240 ft.), blocking line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it.
When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 radiant damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute (save ends). On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't blinded.
A creature that ends its turn in the wall's area takes 4d8 radiant damage.
Until the spell ends, you can use a standard action to launch a beam of radiance from the wall at one creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack.

Wall of Stone

5th-level evocation
concentration
Components
V, S, M (a small block of granite)
Duration
Up to 10 minutes
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
120 feet
A nonmagical wall of solid stone springs into existence at a point you choose within range. The wall is 6 inches thick and is composed of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel. Alternatively, you can create 10-foot-by-20-foot panels that are only 3 inches thick.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it can use a reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.
The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can't occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall doesn't need to be vertical or rest on any firm foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. Thus, you can use this spell to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.
If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall to create crenellations, battlements, and so on.
The wall is an object made of stone that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the DM's discretion.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can create two additional panels for each slot level above 5th.

V, S, M (a drop of water)

1 standard action
Range
60 feet
You create a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range.

The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wall's space is difficult terrain.
Any ranged weapon attack that enters the walls space has disadvantage on the attack roll, and fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot-square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the walls water doesn't fill it.

Watery Sphere

Components
V, S, M (a droplet of water)

Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
90 feet
You conjure up a sphere of water with a 5-foot radius at a point you can see within range. The sphere can hover but no more than 10 feet off the ground. The sphere remains for the spell's duration.
Any creature in the spheres space must make a Strength saving throw. On a successful save, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space of the creature's choice outside the sphere. A Huge or larger creature succeeds on the saving throw automatically, and a Large or smaller creature can choose to fail it. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the sphere and is engulfed by the water (save ends).
The sphere can restrain as many as four Medium or smaller creatures or one Large creature. If the sphere restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.
As a standard action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet in a straight line. If it moves over a pit, a cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it is hovering 10 feet above the ground. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw.
When the spell ends, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 30 feet of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls. The water then vanishes.

A whirlwind howls down to a point that you can see on the ground within range. The whirlwind is a 10-foot-radius, 30-foot-high cylinder centered on that point. Until the spell ends, you can use a standard action to move the whirlwind up to 30 feet in any direction along the ground. The whirlwind sucks up any Medium or smaller objects that aren't secured to anything and that aren't worn or carried by anyone.
A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space, including when the whirlwind first appears. A creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, a Large or smaller creature that fails the save must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become restrained in the whirlwind until the spell ends. When a creature starts its turn restrained by the whirlwind, the creature is pulled 5 feet higher inside it, unless the creature is at the top. A restrained creature moves with the whirlwind and falls when the spell ends, unless the creature has some means to stay aloft.
A restrained creature can use a standard action to make a Strength or Dexterity check against your spell save DC. If successful, the creature is no longer restrained by the whirlwind and is hurled 3d6 × 10 feet away from it in a random direction.

Create Phylactery

Create Phylactery

9th-level necromancy
Components
V, M (special incense, candles, and chalks worth 10,000 gp, which the spell consumes, a magic ritual dagger worth 5,000 gp, and a small token object such as a locket or crystal worth at least 1 gp)
Duration
Instantaneous
Casting Time
1 hour
Range
Self
You affix your soul to the token object used as this spell's material component and endow it with a source of fuel for everlasting unlife. As part of casting this spell, you or another creature must use the ritual dagger used as the spell's material component to kill one or more Humanoids within 30 feet of you. The souls of the slain humanoids become bound to the token object, which becomes your phylactery at the end of the spell.
When you die, your consciousness enters the phylactery as if the phylactery were a magic jar, except you have no body to return to. Every 1d100 days while you are in this state, if there are any other souls bound to the phylactery, one of them is destroyed and you form a new body within 10 feet of the phylactery. Your new body is Undead, doesn't age, has immunity to poison damage and the poisoned and diseased conditions, and has resistance to necrotic damage, but otherwise uses your game statistics.
Nothing short of divine intervention can resurrect you or a creature whose soul is bound to the phylactery. The phylactery can be destroyed, however. It is a magical object with AC 30 and immunity to all damage except force damage and the damage dealt by magical weapons. It is only destroyed if it takes at least 50 damage at once. It is unaffected by spells such as dispel magic and antimagic field.
If the phylactery is destroyed, you die, your soul is destroyed, and any other souls bound to it are freed. Not even divine intervention can resurrect you or another creature whose soul has been destroyed by this spell.
You can only have one phylactery. Casting this spell again using your phylactery as the token object simply binds more souls to the phylactery.

Components
V, S, M (a silver ritual dagger worth at least 500 gp)
Duration
Up to 1 minute
Casting Time
1 major action
Range
30 feet
You attempt to pry a creature's soul from its body. One creature you can see within range takes 10d4 psychic damage and must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target enters a death-like state (save ends). In this state, the target experiences all the effects of the unconscious condition (though this does not count as being unconscious). The target also has immunity to psychic damage and any effect that can't target an object, as the target's mind is physically elsewhere.
If the revivify spell is cast on the target, its material components are not consumed and this spell ends.
If you maintain concentration on this spell for the full duration and you are within 5 feet of the target when it ends, you can slash out with the dagger used as the spell's material component and sever the target's soul. This kills the target.
Constructs and Undead are immune to this spell.

Components
V, S, M (a gem-encrusted skull worth at least 600 gp)
Duration
Up to 1 hour
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
90 feet
You summon a greater undead of your choice: a ghoul, wight, or wraith. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The creature has the Companion trait in addition to its usual traits.
The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
You can cast this spell on the remains of a Small or Medium Humanoid instead of summoning an undead out of thin air. This use of the spell creates a ghoul, wight, or wraith if cast on a corpse, or a wight or wraith if cast on a skeleton. The resulting creature has the same game statistics as above, except it is Small if the remains were Small. When you cast the spell in this way and concentrate on it for the full duration, the material component shatters, and the undead loses the Companion trait and does not disappear.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

8th-level necromancy
Components
V, S, M (a skull scepter worth at least 1,000 gp)
Duration
Until dispelled
Casting Time
8 hours
Range
300 feet
An army of undead rises from the ground around you. Up to 100 zombie minions appear in unoccupied spaces you can see within range. You can also create skeleton minions, each of which counts as 5 zombie minions. An undead created by this spell crumbles to dust when reduced to 0 hit points.
The skull scepter used as the spell's material component becomes magical for the duration and can be used to command the undead. As a standard action, any creature wielding the scepter can magically command any number of undead created by this casting of the spell within range. The command must be straightforward and 10 words or less, such as "kill the dragon in the mountain" or "bring me the pearl necklace." If you issue a command to an undead that already has a command, the undead forgets its previous command and begins carrying out the new one.
The undead interpret commands literally and may act contrary to their intent. For example, if you issued the command "find the pearl necklace," your minions may uselessly gather at the bottom of the river where the necklace lies.
This spell can only be cast at night. If the skull scepter is dispelled or used to cast this spell again, any preexisting undead crumble to dust.

An illusory duplicate of yourself appears in an unoccupied space within range. The illusion looks, sounds, and acts just like you. You can use a free action to cause it to move up to your speed to a space you can see, but it can't talk or imitate any other actions.
Physical interaction with the duplicate reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature can also use the Study action to inspect the duplicate from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the duplicate is illusory.
As a minor action, if the duplicate's space is within range and unoccupied, you can switch places with the duplicate by teleporting to its space. This transposition is visually and audibly undetectable, so a creature that previously identified your duplicate as illusory may now believe that you are the fake and the duplicate is real.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you can create an additional duplicate for each slot level above 6th. You can move each of them at once with the same free action, and you can swap places with any of them.

By inverting the usual techniques of illusion magic, you can turn reality to illusion. Choose one creature or unattended object within range. If the target is a creature, it can make a Charisma saving throw to resist this spell's effect.
The target becomes illusory for the duration. It remains visually and audibly unchanged. This spell gives you no special control over the creature's appearance or behavior. The creature counts as an illusion, not a creature, and thus can't be targeted by spells such as mind sliver.
The target can still take actions, although anything it does is also illusory and has no effect on the real world. It can't do anything as an illusion that it couldn't do in reality. For example, it can't fly or walk through walls unless it has a means to do so.
The target can use a standard action to make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on it. If the spell is dispelled, such as by dispel magic or disillusion, the target safely returns to corporeality.
Physical interaction with the target reveals it to be illusory, because things can pass through it. A creature can also use the Study action to inspect the target from a distance, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC.

Duration

1 standard action
Range

Up to four illusory, Medium- or Small-sized phantom warriors appear in unoccupied spaces within range. Each creature's appearance and behavior is up to you. They appear real, visually and audibly, but are incorporeal.
You can use a minor action to control the phantom warriors. Each warrior moves up to 40 feet to a point you can see and can pantomime an attack, though it can do no damage and appears to miss its target. You can also cause one of them to take the Taunt, Frighten, or Help (aid your or an ally's attack only) action, using your own ability scores and skill proficiencies for any ability checks.
A creature can use the Study action to inspect a phantom warrior, making an Investigation check against your spell save DC. On a success, the creature discovers that the warriors are illusory. A creature that knows the warriors are illusory can still be taunted, frightened, and affected by the Help action.
You determine how a phantom warrior responds to effects that you are aware of. For example, if you see an enemy archer shoot a phantom warrior, you can cause the warrior appear to dodge out of the way. If you fail to do so, each creature that can see the warrior immediately learns that it is illusory. Additionally, a creature that targets a phantom warrior with a melee attack automatically gains the benefit of the Study action against it as if it had rolled an Investigation check with a result equal to the attack roll, potentially discerning its nature even if the warrior appeared to evade the attack.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can create two additional phantom warriors for each slot level above 3rd.

Casting Time
1 major action
Range
Self
You alter reality on a massive scale. This spell creates a 1,000-foot-radius sphere centered on you and remaining fixed in place for the duration. If you leave the area, the spell ends.
When you cast the spell, and as a major action on subsequent turns, you can reshape the appearance of reality within the sphere in each the following ways:
  • All illusions and illusion spells in the area are suppressed, except for those you choose not to suppress.
  • You can create illusory terrain, objects, and environmental details, but not creatures. The illusions can include visual, audible, and even olfactory elements. For example, you could make a burning forest with the smell of smoke in the air, but not a dragon flying through the sky.
  • You can cause real terrain, unattended objects, and environmental details to become invisible, inaudible, and unsmellable.
  • You can change the perceived temperature, but not enough to cause or prevent damage.
  • You can change the light and to what degree the area is obscured.
  • From within the sphere, you can cause the outside to appear however you wish, and vice versa. For example, you could make a small town disappear to the outside world, while the town inhabitants experience a solar eclipse.
These changes last until the spell ends or until you change them again. You can be as specific or as general as you want when making these changes; the spell automatically fills in missing details to match your proscribed reality.
If the spheres of two or more castings of unreality would overlap, each point in space is controlled by the sphere whose center is closest to that point.
As a standard action, you or another creature you permit can create a damaging effect. The effect can deal any damage type of your choice. It can be inflicted with a melee spell attack for 8d10 damage, a ranged spell attack with infinite range for 6d10 damage, or a saving throw of your choice targeting up to 10 creatures for 4d10 damage (dealing half damage on a successful save). The nature of the effect is up to you, but the damage must be dealt before the start of your next turn. For example, you could let an archer shoot a beam of light, or force the next 10 creatures that get too close to lava to make a saving throw against fire damage. Once this standard action is used, it can't be used again until the start of your next turn.

You search a foe's future for a crack in its defenses and wait for that moment to strike. Choose a creature you can see within range, roll a d4, and keep track of the number rolled. At the start of each of your turns, you can increase the existing number by 1, or set it to 1 if it's 4. Once before the spell ends, when you are about to make a weapon attack against the creature or target it with a damage-dealing cantrip, you can end this spell. If you do so, your attack has advantage—or the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage—and the target suffers an additional effect on a hit or failed save. The effect is determined by the tracked value, as shown in the table.

1The target is slowed until the end of your next turn.
2The target is knocked prone and can't stand up until the end of your next turn.

You attempt to seal the fate of up to three creatures that you can see within range and that are within 10 feet of each other.

While cursed in this way, it rolls a d10 at the start of each of its turns and suffers an effect according to the table below:

1The target's fate comes to the ultimate crossroads. The target must succeed on a saving throw of its choice or die. The curse then ends on it.
2The target's body seizes up. It becomes paralyzed for the duration of the curse. Additionally, the curse becomes "Intelligence save ends" for the target, and the target stops rolling the d10 at the start of each of its turns.
3Sheer misfortune makes every blow against the target a grievous one. The target becomes vulnerable to all damage for the duration of the curse. Additionally, the curse becomes "Wisdom save ends" for the target, and the target stops rolling the d10 at the start of each of its turns.
4The target's wounds fester. If it is missing any hit points, it becomes diseased for the duration of the curse. While diseased in this way, it takes ongoing 4d6 poison damage. Additionally, the curse becomes "Constitution save ends" for the target, and the target stops rolling the d10 at the start of each of its turns.
5The target's strength fails. It becomes weakened and slowed for the duration of the curse. Additionally, the target stops rolling the d10 at the start of each of its turns, and at the end of each hour, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it gains a level of exhaustion; on a success, the curse ends for it.

Range
60 feet
You lay an ephemeral web centered on a point you can see within range. The web fills a 10-foot-radius, 5-foot tall cylinder, penetrates cover, and lasts for the duration. The web can only be sensed with mindsense.
When a creature enters the web (including when you cast this spell) or ends its turn there, it must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 3d8 psychic damage, you learn of its presence and its location, and you learn what it was trying to accomplish at that moment. A creature that fails its save by 5 or more also falls unconscious until it takes damage or is shaken awake as a standard action. On a successful save, the target realizes it's in a dangerous area and that something tried to read its mind. An unconscious creature doesn't make this saving throw, and once a creature makes this saving throw, it doesn't do so again until after the start of its next turn.
You can use a repeatable minor action to enter or exit the dreams of an unconscious creature in the web, switching your senses with the creature's dream senses or vice versa. When you enter a creature's dreams, it makes an Intelligence saving throw; on a success, it realizes its dreams are being watched and it can choose to wake up. If you observe a creature's dreams for at least 10 minutes, you learn what its most desired long-term goal is and how it intends to accomplish that goal.
Creatures with an Intelligence score of -3 or lower are unaffected by this spell.

You put yourself in the mind of a creature you can see within range, gaining access to some of its senses. For the duration of the spell, you use the target's senses of sight and hearing instead of your own, and you can use a repeatable minor action to switch back and forth between your senses of sight and hearing and those of the target.
When you cast this spell and each subsequent time you switch to its senses, the target makes an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target doesn't notice anything unusual. On a successful save, the target feels your presence in its mind for the duration and knows when you are spying on its senses, although it doesn't necessarily know that you are the spy. A target that is aware of your presence in its mind can attempt to force you out by making a Charisma check against your spell save DC as a standard action; on a success, the spell ends on it.
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. When you do so, you can only use the senses of one creature (including yourself) at a time. You choose which target's senses you use first when you cast the spell.

Concentration

Concentration

Some spells and other effects require you to maintain concentration in order to keep them active. If you lose concentration, such an effect ends. You can also choose to end concentration on any effect at any time (no action required).
If a spell must be maintained with concentration, that fact appears in its Duration entry, and the spell specifies how long you can concentrate on it.
Normal activity, such as moving and attacking, doesn't interfere with concentration. The following factors can break concentration:
  • You lose concentration if you invoke another effect that requires concentration. You can't concentrate on two effects at once.
  • Whenever you take damage while you are concentrating, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher. If you take damage from multiple sources, such as an arrow and a dragon's breath, you make a separate saving throw for each source of damage.
  • You lose concentration on an effect if you are incapacitated or if you die.
  • Certain environmental phenomena, such as a wave crashing over you while you're on a storm-tossed ship, may require you to succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration. This is at your DM's discretion.
