Bottomless Stomach
1st-level transmutation (alkemancy)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
When you cast this spell, you gain the ability to consume dangerous substances and contain them in an extradimensional reservoir in your stomach. The spell allows you to swallow most liquids, such as acids, alcohol, poison, and even quicksilver, and hold them safely in your stomach. You are unaffected by swallowing the substance, but the spell doesn’t give you resistance or immunity to the substance in general; for example, you could safely drink a bucket of a black dragon’s acidic spittle, but you’d still be burned if you were caught in the dragon’s breath attack or if that bucket of acid were dumped over your head.
The spell allows you to store up to 10 gallons of liquid at one time. The liquid doesn’t need to all be of the same type, and different types don’t mix while in your stomach. Any liquid in excess of 10 gallons has its normal effect when you try to swallow it.
At any time before you stop concentrating on the spell, you can regurgitate up to 1 gallon of liquid stored in your stomach as a bonus action. The liquid is vomited into an adjacent 5-foot square. A target in that square must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be affected by the liquid. The GM determines the exact effect based on the type of liquid regurgitated, using 1d6 damage of the appropriate type as the baseline.
When you stop concentrating on the spell, its duration expires, or it’s dispelled, the extradimensional reservoir and the liquid it contains cease to exist.

All other parameters of the breath weapon (range, shape, damage, and so on) remain unchanged. This spell has no effect on creatures without a breath weapon.

After it strikes, lightning can arc to 3 secondary targets. The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal 3 electric damage.
Each target can attempt a Dexterity saving throw for half damage. The DC to halve the damage of the secondary bolts is 1 lower than the DC to halve the damage of the primary bolt. You choose secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the primary target of the spell takes an additional 1d4 damage, the secondary targets take 1 extra damage, and you increases the number of targets by 1 for each slot level above 1st.

An intentionally misleading or partial answer causes the flame to flicker and dim. An outright lie causes the flame to flare and then go out, ending the spell. The candle judges honesty, not absolute truth; the flame burns steadily through even an outrageously false statement, as long as the target believes it’s true.
Candle’s insight is used across society: by merchants while negotiating deals, by inquisitors investigating heresy, and by monarchs as they interview foreign diplomats. In some societies, casting candle’s insight without the consent of the spell’s target is considered a serious breach of hospitality.

Commune with Shade
1st-level necromancy
- Components: V, S, M (a wineskin full of fresh blood)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Duration: See text
- Range: Personal
You attempt to contact the spirit of a specific dead entity by name. The spell contacts the spirit and lets it know that you want to meet; it doesn’t compel the spirit to appear before you. This spell is most useful in the Underworld or another realm where finding one shade among countless hosts of the dead can be nigh impossible. The spell conveys your call to the shade you desire, along with your location and a sense of urgency. The shade is under no obligation to respond, but most do simply to break the eternal tedium of death. If the shade chooses to answer your call in the Underworld, it arrives within ten minutes. If you are somewhere else, the shade arrives within 24 hours.
If cast within the Underworld, the spell’s range is unlimited. If cast from the material world or any other plane, the site of the spirit’s death must be on the same plane and within the spell’s range of the caster. Note that the range refers to the site of the creature’s death, not its current location. This spell can also be used to contact an intelligent undead creature within range; for example, it could contact the spirit of a drowned sailor if cast within a mile of the site of the drowning.
Note that this spell does not alter the subject’s personality or willingness to help you. Once the target spirit arrives, you must persuade it to help through negotiation, payment, or coercion of some sort. Family members, loved ones, friends, and slain companions are more inclined to help than are strangers or someone who was killed by the caster. Another spell, such as speak with dead, might be needed to compel answers from an uncooperative or unresponsive shade.

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a clump of mud) Duration: 1 hour
This spell covers you or a willing creature you touch in mud consistent with the surrounding terrain. For the duration, the spell protects the target from extreme cold and heat, allowing the target to automatically succeed on Constitution saving throws against environmental hazards related to temperature. In addition, the target has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks while traveling at a slow pace in the terrain related to the component for this spell.
If the target is subject to heavy precipitation for 1 minute, the precipitation removes the mud, ending the spell.

Muddy Appearance
1st-level illusion
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Duration: 1 minute
- Range: 50 ft.
You cause the features of a creature you can see within range to blur slightly, obscuring the details of its appearance. Anyone relying on sight has disadvantage on ability checks to recognize or remember the affected creature. The illusion is subtle, so observers are prone to think something is wrong with their eyesight (dust blew into their eyes, or their eyes are watering) rather than that the creature has been masked in any way.
Muffled Step
1st-level abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a puff of cotton)

- Components: V, S, M (one piece of nonmagical ammunition or a nonmagical thrown weapon)
- Duration: 8 hours, or until triggered
You touch the material component so that when it is next used to make a ranged weapon attack, this spell triggers. When the spell triggers, the weapon or ammunition divides into multiple versions of itself as it flies. The attacker has advantage on the attack roll. On a hit, the attacker adds two weapon damage dice and adds the rolls together to determine damage. If the attacker scores a critical hit, these extra dice are not rolled again.

The spirits belonging to any creatures within 30 feet of you that died within the last 24 hours simultaneously overwhelm you with the emotions they felt before passing. If there are more than 5 dead creatures in range when casting this spell, make a DC 10 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 2d6 psychic damage and cannot cast this spell again until you finish a long rest.
On a successful save, or if there are 5 or fewer dead creatures within range, you are able to briefly sense the emotions of the creatures during their final moments before death. The GM will describe the most prevalent emotions felt by the dead creatures within range, such as “anger,” “terror,” “guilt,” “grief,” or “sadness.”

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack during the duration, the attack deals an extra 1d6 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice) and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is branded by that energy. For the duration, whenever the branded creature takes damage of that type, it takes 1d6 extra damage and can make an additional Wisdom saving throw, ending the spell on a success.

This spirit hovers nearby, invisible and undetectable, observing every event that takes place in the designated area until the spell expires. The spirit has a passive Wisdom (Perception) of 15.
At any time during the spell’s duration, you can ask the spirit to describe any event that took place in the assigned area during its vigil. The spirit ignores minor mundane events such as curtains blowing in the breeze or a candle burning itself out.

Once the spirit gives its report, it dissipates and the spell ends.

The spell is used for other priestly purposes as well, such as making holy water, consecrating a grave site or laying the dead to rest.
The item ordained cannot be larger than the priest casting the spell. It can only make one vial of holy water.

The soft-stemmed plants recover after the spell is over, but the flattening of the plants makes tracking through the area difficult; Wisdom (Survival) checks for tracking in areas affected by this spell are made with disadvantage.

You can write any other text on the parchment, which becomes invisible anytime the secret message is displayed. When the spell ends, the secret message disappears forever.
Creatures with truesight can see the secret message. A dispel magic cast on the parchment ends the spell without revealing the secret message.

1st-level divination (ritual)
Classes: Bard 1, Wizard 1
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (bottle of ink worth 50 gp, consumed in the casting)
- Duration: Until dispelled
You touch a jar of ink and imbue it with magic. Thereafter, when you touch the ink and speak the command word, the vial observes visible events, such as the arrival of a creature, as well as audible noises, such as a conversation, made within 30 feet of it, up to a length of 4 hours, after which it changes to a color of your choice. If nothing occurred in the vial’s presence since the command word, the ink does not change color. The spell does not record minor noises or movements, such as the shifting of shadows or the sound of the wind.
Thereafter, when you pour the ink over blank paper or a similar surface, it forms letters and sentences and constructs a written account—in a language you can read—of everything it observed during the allotted time frame. The ink cannot perceive anything the caster could not perceive; if the caster does not have darkvision, then the ink cannot see in the dark, for example. The ink records only noises and motions that it can describe, and it cannot draw conclusions. Thus, it could not explain that an invisible creature entered the room it occupied, but it could describe any noises created or objects disturbed.
The ink’s observations are limited to the range described above and require line of sight.

Thin The Ice
1st-level transmutation

- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a piece of sunstone)

You target a point within range. That point becomes the top center of a cylinder 10 feet in radius and 40 feet deep. All ice inside that area melts immediately.
The uppermost layer of ice seems to remain intact and sturdy, but it covers a 40-foot-deep pit filled with ice water. A successful Wisdom (Survival) check or passive Perception check against your spell save DC notices the thin ice. If a creature weighing more than 20 pounds (or a greater weight specified by you when casting the spell) treads over the cylinder or is already standing on it, the ice gives way. Unless the creature makes a successful Dexterity saving throw, it falls into the icy water, taking 2d6 cold damage plus whatever other problems are caused by water, by armor, or by being drenched in a freezing environment.

It can move at two times its normal speed overland and perform two times the usual amount of labor. The target is not protected from fatigue or exhaustion caused by a magical effect. The user cannot take a long rest while under the influence of this spell, and as such cannot regain spell slots or receive other benefits of a long rest while under the influence of this spell.

You tweak a strand of a creature’s fate as it attempts an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. Roll a d20 and subtract 10 to produce a number from 10 to -9.

- Range: 30 ft.
One creature you can see within range begins twitching its fingers uncontrollably.

An affected creature also must make a Wisdom saving throw before making a Dexterity check that requires fine control of the hands, such as using thieves’ tools; if the saving throw fails, the Dexterity check fails automatically. A successful Wisdom saving throw ends the spell effect.

Unruly Item
1st-level transmutation (chaos)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You animate an object in the possession of a creature within range, giving the object limited movement and a compulsion to thwart its possessor. The effect of the spell varies depending on the kind of object you affect.
Weapon: A weapon being wielded by a creature fights and twists, trying to free itself from the creature’s grasp. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on any attacks it makes in that round with the weapon. On a save that fails by 5 or more, the creature drops the weapon.
Armor: The creature’s armor shifts and moves, becoming noisy and uncomfortable. If the armor does not normally impart disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, it does so while this spell is in effect. The creature wearing it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take a 10-foot penalty to its speed and be unable to use the Dash action.
Other Items: The effects on other carried items can vary at the GM’s discretion. A potion might behave as a weapon, trying not to be drunk, falling to the ground and becoming ruined if the Dexterity save is failed by 5 or more. A backpack might try to empty itself, disgorging a random item each round on a failed save.
Unseen Cartographer
1st-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (cartographer’s tools, ink, paper)
- Duration: 1 hour
You cause an invisible, mindless, shapeless force to come into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has AC 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 2, and it can’t attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. Otherwise, the force follows you, remaining within range, for the duration.
Carrying the material components, the force uses them to draw a map of the areas you can see as you pass through. You can use your action to send the cartographer away from you, up to the edge of the spell’s range, and it can map from there as if it were a normal human looking at the area from that point. The quality of the map is similar to that of one produced by a competent scout. The cartographer does not indicate creatures, hazards, or other such items on its map, but only the physical, architectural, and topographical features of the surrounding space.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, double the range for each slot level above 1st. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the unseen cartographer notices hidden doors and traps within 10 feet of it if a Wisdom (Perception) check of 15 or lower would notice those hidden elements. The force simple draws the hidden elements on the map; it has no other means of letting you know of their presence. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the cartographer also has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the cartographer can fly, allowing it to make maps from an aerial view within the spell’s range (480 feet at 5th level).
Unwelcome Halo
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: 10 minutes Classes: cleric, sorcerer, wizard
This spell causes one creature you can see to glow as if surrounded by a halo of light. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the halo sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius from the creature, and dim light for additional 20 feet. This light effectively gives away the creature’s location and imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when the creature is able to hide at all.
At the end of each of the creature’s turn, it may make a new saving throw; on a success, the spell ends.
Upthrust
1st-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 ft.
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
As an action, you target one creature with a minor telekinetic force. They must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be lifted vertically 10 ft. directly above their current position. The creature falls immediately after unless they have a fly speed greater than 0 ft.

Warding Sigil
1st-level abjuration
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
- Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: 1 minute
- Replaces: Blade Ward
You make a magical sign, creating a protective ward around yourself. For the duration, whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage and the spell ends. The ward has 4 hit points and is resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the ward's hit points increase by 2d4 for each slot level above 1st.
Waterproof
1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: touch
Components: V, S, M (a bit of wax and paper)
Duration: 24 hours (see text)
You protect the touched creature (including all worn, wielded and carried items) or object from getting wet. The target can be fully immersed in water for hours and then emerge completely dry, without a single drop of water clinging to it. Flammable items can be immediately ignited, though a burning waterproof item begins sputtering if taken underwater as its oxygen is spent and goes out 1d4-1 rounds later. This spell retards the growth of algae or the accretion of barnacles, mollusks and similar sea life, but it does not prevent drowning or damage from pressure, hot or cold water or allow the target to breathe water. It also does not provide aid with swimming. Waterproof metal items do not rust or corrode in water, bowstrings and harps snap and strum perfectly, and the waterproof books, scrolls, and inks remain pristine and crisp.
A potion or other liquid made waterproof does not mix with water.
A container can be made waterproof, even if the container is not designed to be watertight, such as a bag or backpack. If cast on such a container, the duration is increased to a week.

Water must be a minimum of 5 ft. across. To make use of this spell, you must be able to see the reflection of the creature or effect from the reflection off of the surface of the water, requiring a Wisdom (Perception) check with a DC determined by your GM (typically DC 12).
Watery Tendrils
1st-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M* (enough water to fill a vial, which the spell consumes)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create two whip-like tendrils of water that surrounds your arms. For the duration, you can use these tendrils for your Attack action. When you attack, you make a melee spell attack with a reach of 10 ft. On a hit, the creature takes 4d4 + your spellcasting modifier bludgeoning damage, and you can choose to grapple this creature.
The creature can use their action to break the grapple with a successful Athletics (Strength) or Acrobatics (Dexterity) check against your spell save DC. While a creature is grappled this way, you cannot use this tendril as part of your attack, but can still use the other unless that tendril is also grappling a creature.
As an action, you can pull a grappled creature to a space within 5 ft. of you.
Weather Witch
1st-level divination
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Caster
- Components: V, S, M (a small twig and a pinch of rust)
- Duration: Instantaneous
This spell allows the caster to predict the weather in the area for the next 24 hours. They will know the cloud cover, amount of precipitation (if any), humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and any severe weather conditions such as a tornado, blizzard or hurricane.

Weapon of Blood
1st-level transmutation (blood)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a pinch of iron shavings)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
When you cast this spell, you inflict 1d4 slashing damage on yourself that can’t be healed until after the blade created by this spell is destroyed or the spell ends. The trickling blood transforms into a dagger of red metal that functions as a +1 dagger.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd to 5th level, the self-inflicted wound deals 3d4 slashing damage and the spell produces a +2 dagger. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th to 8th level, the self-inflicted wound deals 6d4 slashing damage and the spell produces a +2 dagger of wounding. When you cast this spell using a 9th-level spell slot, the self-inflicted wound deals 9d4 slashing damage and the spell produces a +3 dagger of wounding.
Weapon of the Earth
1st-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a chunk of iron ore)
- Duration: 1 minute
You pick up a chunk of rock and turn it into a one-handed melee weapon of your choice. While it is made of stone, it inflicts damage as a normal weapon of its type; it is also immune to effects that target metal.
Weightlessness
1st-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Caster
- Components: V, S, M (a bubble of soap or a hollow glass bead)
- Duration: 10 minutes
This spell causes the caster to become utterly weightless, and any movement will be as if in a gravity-free environment. This is not without risk, since it will be nearly impossible to remain in one spot without hanging on to something solid or anchoring in some way. Moving horizontally across a wall would likely push the caster away from it, making steering difficult. With practice though, the caster might learn to leap at angles and control direction by aiming jumps and bouncing off surfaces.
When the spell expires, the caster rapidly gains mass, and will have 1 turn to land safely.
At Higher Levels. When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration increases by 10 minutes for each slot level above 1st.
Wind Compass
1st-level divination
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: self
- Components: V, S
- Duration: 8 hours
You create a tiny moaning wind that is tied to a specific compass direction. As long as you continue moving in that direction, the wind compass sighs contentedly in your ear to tell you so. If you diverge from that direction, the wind compass begins to moan with rising and falling pitch in proportion to how far you have veered from your intended course.
As long as it persists, you can maintain an accurate heading. A wind compass does not necessarily help you find a specific destination, but it does grant you advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to avoid getting lost along the way. This spell does not function underwater or in areas that otherwise lack air, and you cannot benefit from it if you are deafened.
Wind Speak
1st-level divination (ritual)
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Range: Unlimited on the same plane
You whisper a short message of no more than 15 words into the air, and the wind blows it to the ears of one creature you know. You must be in a place where the wind can blow freely (outdoors or in a building with large, open windows) when you cast the spell, and the target must be in a similar location when the message arrives; otherwise, the spell fails. The message travels 1 mile per round (10 miles per minute, or 600 miles per hour).
Weather Eye
1st-level divination
- Casting Time: 1 hour
- Range: personal
- Components: V, S, M (a bowl of water)
- Duration: 24 hours
You can more accurately predict the weather gaining advantage on survival checks made to forecast weather conditions. If control weather or a similar effect has been used to influence the weather within 10 miles, you become aware of it.
Web Orb
1st-level evocation
Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Range: 50 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Dexterity negates effect
You project a small, gray glob of fluid from your hand at a creature you can see. The creature is struck by the glob unless it makes a successful Dexterity saving throw.
When it hits its target, the glob expands into a small net of sticky webbing as strong as fine steel wire. A Large or smaller creature struck by the net is restrained. A restrained creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC; if the Strength check succeeds, the webs burst and the spell ends.
A thin line of webbing trails from the net to your hand. As an action, you can make an opposed Strength contest against the restrained creature. If you win the contest, you pull the creature 10 feet closer to you; otherwise, it remains where it is. In either case, the creature remains restrained.
Wind Tunnel
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (60-foot line)
- Components: V, S, M (a paper straw)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a swirling tunnel of strong wind extending from yourself in a direction you choose. The tunnel is a line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide. The wind blows from you toward the end of the line, which is stationary once created.
A creature in the line moving with the wind (away from you) adds 10 feet to its speed, and ranged weapon attacks launched with the wind don’t have disadvantage because of long range. Creatures in the line moving against the wind (toward you) spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot they move, and ranged weapon attacks launched along the line against the wind are made with disadvantage.
The wind tunnel immediately disperses gas or vapor, and it extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the line. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50 percent chance of extinguishing them.
With the Wind
1st-level evocation
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a dried lizard’s eye)

You cause the eyes of a creature you can see within range to lose acuity. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and all attack rolls for the duration of the spell. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This spell has no effect on a creature that is blind or that doesn’t use its eyes to see.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.
Withering Smite
1st-level necromancy (apocalypse)
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Your weapon radiates terrible energy that empowers the next strike you make with it. The next time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell’s duration, your attack deals an extra 1d6 necrotic damage.
If the target of that attack was a creature, it must make a successful Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 minute, its flesh rotting around the wound. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. The rotting effect also ends if the affected creature receives magical healing.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage dealt by the weapon’s hit increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st. Subsequent necrotic damage doesn’t increase.
Wolfsong
1st-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
You emit a howl that can be heard clearly from 300 feet away outdoors. The howl can convey a message of up to nine words, which can be understood by all dogs and wolves in that area, as well as (if you choose) one specific creature of any kind that you name when casting the spell.
If you cast the spell indoors and aboveground, the howl can be heard out to 200 feet from you. If you cast the spell underground, the howl can be heard from 100 feet away.
A creature that understands the message is not compelled to act in a particular way, though the nature of the message might suggest or even dictate a course of action.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can name another specific recipient for each slot level above 2nd.
Woodland Shriek
1st-level abjuration
- Components: V, S
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Duration: 8 hours
- Range: 30 ft.
You imbue nonintelligent plants and bushes in a 20-foot radius with the ability to shriek loudly if a Small or larger creature enters the warded area. The creature can go unnoticed if it makes a successful Dexterity saving throw, but it must be a conscious effort at sneaking; a creature can’t “accidentally” go unnoticed by the plants. The shrieking plants are audible up to a mile away. Once the alarm is triggered, the plants shriek for 30 seconds, then the spell ends.
Other than the size minimum, the spell is entirely nonspecific. Any creature that meets the size criterion, such as deer, foxes, and children, will set it off.
Writhing Arms

Disguise Self
Source: Player's Handbook
1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour
You make yourself – including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person – look different until the spell ends or until you use your 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. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. 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.
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can’t attack, but it can take other actions as normal.
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an 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.
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
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.
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.

1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 150 feet Components: V, S, M (an ear of corn) Duration: Instantaneous
You summon an invisible force that instantaneously hacks all grasses and underbrush to the ground, leaving nothing but an empty 40-foot radius circle. Although the blades are invisible, they are not insubstantial. All creatures and inanimate objects make a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 force damage as swirling scythes and sickles cut all plants in the spell’s radius. Farmers use this spell to clear arable land for farming, although some use it to frighten neighboring farmers or to sabotage their crops. This spell has no effect on plants or creatures of CR ½ or higher.
Curse of Ineptitude
1st-level necromancy Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 round

Cutting Flame
1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (clove of rotten garlic) Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You cause a white, hot, six-inch long beam of fire to spring from the target’s fingertips. The primary function of this beam is for cutting through inanimate objects. The rate at which you can cut through the object depends on its AC (see the table below). Objects with an AC higher than 20 cannot be cut using this spell. You can only make cuts up to six inches deep, thus trying to cut through a foot-thick stone wall would have little effect.
In a pinch, this spell can be used offensively. If used as such, you are considered proficient with this weapon and it functions as a light melee finesse weapon.. A successful attack deals 1d6 + strength or dexterity fire damage. Attempting to damage an attended object counts as using the spell offensively and damages the object.
Hardness | Inches/round |
---|---|
0-4 | 12 |
5-9 | 6 |
10-14 | 3 |
15-19 | 1 |
20+ | Unable to be cut |
Deep Shadows
1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
This spell creates a deepening and darkening of all shadows within a 60-foot area of a place you touch.This spell doesn’t actually create shadows; it just makes existing shadows much larger and darker, and enhances them so they even interfere with low-light vision and darkvision. The shadows cause all attacks at targets within them to be made at disadvantage if the original shadow was just dim-light, or provide total cover and advantage on all Dexterity(stealth) checks to any creatures in the original shadows if the original shadows were considered in darkness. If the spell is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a light-proof covering, the spell’s effects are blocked until the covering is removed.
If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or higher, this spell is dispelled.

The shelter will house 6 creatures of medium size and they can spend the next 24 hours hiding in relative comfort. The shelter does not protect you or your allies from unnatural phenomena, nor does it protect them from extreme weather conditions such as fire, flood, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes and the like. It will, however, protect you and your allies from normal rain, snow, wind, heat and cold. The shelter will be made of the natural surroundings and will blend in with them. Noticing the shelter requires a Perception check opposed by your Stealth check with a competence bonus equal to your caster level.

When the spell has absorbed 10 fire damage, it is discharged.
While the spell protects your arm in this manner, touching an object does not discharge the spell unless you want it to. This allows you to reach through a wall of fire to grasp a gem on the other side, for example. The spell does not protect any other part of your body, so you could not use it to walk across a pool of lava or to stick your head into a campfire.

Each turn, the affected undead may make another Charisma saving throw at the end of its turn to remove this effect. Multiple hits do not impose multiple end of turn saves.

Creatures within 5 feet of the target (excluding you and including the target) must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Undead creatures struck take 3d6 radiant damage and must save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. Undead creatures in the 5 foot blast take 1d6 radiant damage and must save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. The flash from the Pearl of Brilliance as it breaks counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level. A darkness spell of equal or higher level counters or dispels Pearl of Brilliance.
Peephole
1st-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a saw blade or a piece of a saw blade) Duration: 1 hour
You create a small opening through a wooden, plaster, or stone wall but not through metal or other harder materials. The peephole is 1 inch deep. If the wall’s thickness is more than the depth of the peephole created, the spell fails. Observing through the hole created by a peephole spell grants cover to the observer. Additionally, the peephole eliminates any Wisdom (perception) DC modifier for a wooden door and grants the caster advantage on Wisdom (perception).
The Peephole spell can also be used to create a small hole in the side of a chest, a safe or lockbox, or any other container so long as the type of material and thickness are within the spell’s capabilities.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, increase the depth of the hole by 1 inch for each slot level above 1st.

Poison Weapon
1st-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: touch Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Use your spell saving throw DC for the Constitution saving throw DC for the poison. If a creature is wounded with the weapon, and fails the saving throw, that creature gains the poisoned condition and is dealt 1d6 poison damage at the start of its turn. At the end of each of its turns, it may make an additional Constitution saving throw to end the condition and the damage.
Potent Weapon

1st-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a small dried gourd or rattle) Duration: Concentration, up to 20 rounds
Using this spell, you create driving rain in the spell’s area if the temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, creating sleet or rain instead if the air temperature is between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and freezing, and creating sleet or snow if the air temperature is freezing or below.
Once you decide what kind of precipitation you wish to create, the precipitation blocks all sight (including darkvision) beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has half cover, while creatures farther away have three-quarters cover . In addition, each type of precipitation has an additional effect:
- Rain: Small, unprotected mundane flames (such as candles, torches, and campfires of Tiny size) are extinguished by the driving rain. There is no effect on fire creatures or magical flames.
- Sleet: Ground in the area becomes slick and icy, so creatures can move safely only at one-half speed. Creatures moving at full speed must make an Dexterity(acrobatics) check with the DC equal to your spell casting saving throw, with failure indicating that the creature cannot move on the ice, and failure by 5 points or more meaning that the creature falls prone.
- Snow: Ground in the area becomes icy and snow accumulates. Creatures can move only at one-half speed, and no running or charging is possible. Even moving at one-half speed, a creature must make an Dexterity(acrobatics) with the DC equal to your spell save DC, with failure indicating that the creature cannot move and failure by 5 points or more meaning that the creature falls prone.
Pressure Spray
1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M ( an eyedropper) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a line of highly pressurized water to spring forth from your hand. You may use this line to make a ranged spell attack against a single target.

Additionally, Medium and Small creatures must make a Strength saving throw with failure their Fortitude saves are knocked prone by the blast, and Tiny or smaller creatures are knocked back 1d4 x 10 feet and knocked prone. Each round that you concentrate on the spell you can make an additional attack against either the same target or a new target.
As a standard action, you can use the water from the spell to extinguish fires. Mundane fires that cover an area of one 5-ft. square or less are automatically extinguished in one round. Mundane fires of a size greater than five feet are shrunk by a 5-ft. square each round you target them. Magical fires can also be extinguished, but to do so requires you to make an ability check using your spell casting ability (DC equals 10 + the magical fires spell level.) Fire Elementals creatures or other creatures that are vulnerable to water or cold damage can not be knocked out with this spell.
Quill Skin
1st-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 reaction Range: Self Components: V Duration: Concentration, up to 2 minutes
Hundreds of thin, pointed quills instantly erupt from your skin. The quills effectively serve as armor spikes (1d4 piercing damage) and you are treated as if you are proficient with them. These quills cover the majority your body and do not harm you, or hinder your movement or any other actions. The quills sprout out of natural and leather armor but remain harmless under other types. The quills are fine enough as not to cause damage to clothing or other items worn.
Creatures swallowing or constricting you take 3d6 piercing damage each round while you remain swallowed or constricted.
Reactive Armor
1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction Range: Self Components: S Duration: 1 day With a gesture, reactive armor summons one type of armor you are proficient in, but not wearing.

Righteous Strike
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: 8 hours or until discharged
This spell allows you to channel your holy power into a weapon as part of another attack action. When this happens the weapon gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage, and is able to bypass all forms of damage reduction, and counts as magic for this one attack against an evil creature.
Sacred Watch
1st-level divination Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: 10 days
Sacred watch allows you to become instantly aware when the subject of this spell is in danger. Distance is not a factor and the spell even works across multiple planes and dimensions.

Note: This spell does not tell you where the subject is, only that the subject is in danger.
Scentless
1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 round Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (red herring) Duration: 5 hours
When you cast this spell, touch up to 5 creatures. The scent ability does not help creatures find targets of this spell; they have no scent. At the end of the duration your scent trail reappears.

Second Chance
1st-level abjuration Casting Time: reaction Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: instantaneous
The subject can attempt a new saving throw to shrug off one unwanted ongoing condition or effect. Second chance does not heal damage already suffered from an effect or condition. If an effect doesn’t allow a save, or if it has a duration of Instantaneous, then second chance has no effect. The save DC is the same as for the first saving throw. This spell can be cast only once per unwanted condition—if the second save fails, this spell cannot help.
Self-Loading Bolts
1st-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: 8 hours
This spell causes the bolts targeted by the spell to automatically load themselves into the target crossbow. One new bolt loads itself whenever there is not one already in the crossbow. Only the target bolts will load themselves, and only into the target crossbow. If either the crossbow or the bolts are shut inside a closed container, they will lie dormant, not loading until the container is opened. They will also not load if the bolts and the crossbow are more than five feet away from each other.
Shadow Hands
1st-level Transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous
A wave of murky blackness shoots from your hands. You must hold your hands together and then pull them apart quickly, to either side of you. The sheet of blackness is nearly as thick as your hand.

Soul Beacon

You amplify all positive and good aspects of your soul, giving you power to resist the attacks of undead creatures. You gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class against undead attacks and saves against effects from undead. Because your soul shines so brightly, undead and other creatures whose bodies are supported by negative energy can see you as clearly as a campfire on a clear night even in normal (but not magical) darkness.
For example, a vampire on the opposite side of a 500-foot diameter cavern could see you even if the cavern were unlit and even though the vampire’s darkvision only reaches 60 feet. If the vampire had attacks that reached that far, he could see and target you normally at that distance. His dominated half-orc slave could not see you unless you entered an area of light or the range of his darkvision.

Ward, Lesser
1st-level abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (see text)
- Duration: 10 days, or until discharged
This inscription harms those who enter, pass, or open the warded area or object. A lesser ward can guard a bridge or passage that is 10 feet or less across, ward a portal, trap a chest or box, and so on. You set the conditions of the ward. Typically, any creature of a specific type violating the warded area is subject to the magic it stores. Wards can be set according to alignment, creature type, subtype, or species (such as “elf” or “aberration”). Wards also can be set to pass those of your religion or organization. They cannot be set according to appearance, class, Hit Dice, or level. Wards respond to invisible creatures normally but are not triggered by those who travel past them ethereally. Multiple lesser wards cannot function within 30 feet of each other. When casting the spell, you mark a clear design in paint, chalk, blood, scratch marks, or some other means. The ward can conform to any shape up to the limitations of your total square footage. When the spell is completed, the ward remains quite obvious. Wards can be detected as traps (DC equal to your spell save DC) and disabled or bypassed (same DC); in addition they can also be dispelled. The nondetection spell can fool a ward. You can identify a lesser ward with a successful Intelligence (arcana), Intelligence (investigation), or Wisdom (perception) check (same DC as above). Identifying the ward does not discharge it, but it allows you to know the basic nature of the glyph (version [see below], type of damage caused, what spell is stored).
Depending on the version selected, a ward either blasts the intruder or activates a spell:
Blast Ward: A blast deals 2d4 points of damage to one target. This damage is acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic (your choice, made at time of casting). Those affected can make Dexterity saving throw to take half damage.
Spell Ward: You can store any harmful 1st level spell that you know. All level-dependent features of the spell are based on your level at the time of casting. If the spell has targets, it targets the intruder. If the spell has an area or an amorphous effect (such as a cloud), the area or effect centers on the intruder. All saves operate as normal, except that the Difficulty Class is spell save of lesser ward.
White Noise
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
This spell causes the target object to emit loud, unspecific sound bursts and white light that make hearing and seeing difficult. If an object if attended by an unwilling creature, that creature can make a Wisdom saving throw, and on a success, the spell fails. All Wisdom(perception) checks are made with disadvantage. A foot of stone or three inches of iron block the sound created by this spell. White noise also negates blindsight and blindsense abilities based on hearing. Creatures relying entirely on hearing for perception are effectively blinded. You do not see or hear anything out of the ordinary beyond 60 feet.
Wind Churn
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a 10 foot cylinder of wind around a target. Choose one target within range that is flying. That target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, that target is held in the same space as when you cast the spell by the winds. While in this space, the target has a -1d4 penalty to all actions, checks, and saves, cannot leave the space, and takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage from the buffeting winds of the cylinder. At the end of each of its turns, it makes another Strength saving throw to leave the cylinder and end the effect.
