4th-level conjuration

• Components: V, S, M (spider and a bit of webbing frozen in amber)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Permanent
• Range: 100 ft.

You create a 20-foot cube of sticky webs at a point you can see. Abiding webs works identically to web, except as noted otherwise.

These webs are crawling with tiny, harmless spiders. Damage to the web is repaired by the spiders that live in it, at the rate of one 5-foot cube per round (125 cubic feet; the entire volume of the webs can be sixteen times this size). This repair occurs on initiative count 20. If the webs are completely destroyed, the spell ends. The spiders themselves are immortal and need neither air nor food to survive; the magic of the spell produces more spiders as needed.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S, M (a pinch of sand)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Range: 30 ft.

You cause liquids carried by a creature to dry up. All nonmagical liquid (water, alcohol, lamp oil) evaporates instantly unless the target creature makes a successful Wisdom saving throw. In addition, three potions carried by the target will also be affected by this spell. If the target carries more than three potions, the three that dry up are selected randomly.

Absorption has no direct effect on living (or unliving) creatures or plants, only on liquids they carry.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a sprinkle of diamond powder)
• Duration: 1 minute

You transform your own cudgel, mace, staff, or other bludgeoning weapon into one made of pure elemental adamantine. It does an additional 2d12 bludgeoning damage on a successful hit and acts as a magical weapon.

4th-level abjuration

• Components: V, S, M (a glass lens)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Range: 30 ft.

You conjure an aetheric lens, 10 feet wide, within 30 feet of you. The lens protects those behind it from magic; any spell of 4th level or lower that requires a clear path through the lens is stopped entirely. The lens doesn’t interfere with spells you cast, and it doesn’t block area effects. For example, a fireball couldn’t be aimed directly through the lens, but if it was set off immediately in front of the lens, the blast would still affect people on the other side of the lens and within the fireball’s radius. You can spend a bonus action to move the lens to any point within 30 feet of you.

At Higher Levels: If aetheric shield is cast using a spell slot higher than 4th level, the lens protects against spells of equal or lower level than the spell slot you used.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a pinch of salt)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You choose one creature that you see within range that has recently been injured by an edged weapon (the creature must not be at full hit points). This spell will cause bound wounds to reopen and unbound wounds to bleed profusely. The target takes 2d6 damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the target takes no more damage. On a failure, the target takes another 1d4 damage each round until the wound is treated.

4th-level conjuration

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: 12 hours
• Range: Self

The spell creates a 5-foot-radius sphere of pure, fresh air that forms around you and moves with you. The spell keeps out hazardous gases and water, but solid objects can pass into the sphere. The air remains pure and clean for the duration of the spell.

4th-level illusion (druid, sorcerer, wizard)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (1-mile radius)

Components: V, S, M (a pinch of moondust)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You change the apparent moon phase for a 1-mile radius around you for the duration. If a creature within the affected area possesses abilities dependent on a particular moon phase, or change shape based on the moon phase, it must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid being affected by this spell.

If you cast this spell at night, the altered moon phase can affect light.

If you change the moon phase to full moon, light improves to dim light in the area. If you change the moon phase to anything other than full moon, light decreases to (or remains at) darkness. If you change the moon phase during the day, it has no appreciable effect on light.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (10-foot line)
• Components: V, S, M (a knife blade, the straw from a broom, and a handful of pebbles)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

When you cast this spell, you pick one of the following options:

• Clear Path. The road ahead of you to a distance of ten feet is cleared of debris as you walk, providing you with a easy path.
• Clutter Path. The road behind you is strewn with debris to a distance of ten feet, turning the path behind you into difficult terrain.

Only relatively light debris, such as light branches and gravel, is moved. Large obstacles such as fallen trees are unaffected.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You animate a Medium-size nonmagical flame, causing it leave its source of fuel and move in your direct with a speed of 30 feet. It does not require fuel during this time.

The animated fire causes 1d10 fire damage to any creature it touches and it automatically ignites combustible material.

4th-level necromancy (wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 45 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a vial of blood and a handful of bone dust, which are consumed by the spell)
• Duration: concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell creates 2d4 undead servant skeletons. Choose piles of humanoid bones within range. Your spell imbues the targets with a foul mimicry of life, raising them as undead skeletons (the GM has the creature’s game statistics). The skeletons act immediately after your turn on the initiative order.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creatures you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creatures will take and where they will move during their next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creatures only defend themselves against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creatures continue to follow it until their task is complete.

The creatures are under your control for 1 minute, after which point the spell ends and they collapse to the ground, lifeless.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you are able to add an addition 1d4 to the total number of skeletons raised by this spell for every slot higher than 4th level.

4th-level enchantment

• Components: V, S, M (a sketch of the target)
• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Duration: 1 day
• Range: 120 ft.

You select an animal (for example, a lion) or image (such as a shining sword) or ideal (such as honor) and associate it with a specific individual. Each creature within the spell’s range must make a Wisdom saving throw. Each creature that fails the saving throw associates the person with the animal, image, or ideal for as long as the spell lasts. A positive association increases the starting attitude of those around the affected target by one step; hostile becomes indifferent, indifferent becomes friendly. Likewise, a negative association decreases the starting attitude by one.

This can be a subtle way to influence a group: By planting an association that links a lord to wickedness or to a serpent, the caster can undermine morale in that lord’s dominion for days. Friendly advisers become indifferent, for example, and unfriendly rivals become hostile.

At Higher Levels: For each spell slot used higher than 4th level, the association lasts for an additional day.

4th-level transmutation

Components: V, S, M (a sprig of wolfsbane) Casting Time: 1 action Duration: 1 minute Range: Self Area of Effect: Sphere, 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: Constitution negates effect

You create an aura around yourself that forces all shapeshifted creatures to resort to their normal forms. The spell affects lycanthropes, therianthropes, doppelgangers, mimics, and creatures under the effect of polymorph magic. A shapechanged creature that begins its turn within the aura is forced to resume its natural form unless it makes a successful Constitution saving throw. If the saving throw fails, it reverts to its normal form immediately, and it can’t alter its form voluntarily again until it leaves the spell’s area of effect.

4th-level abjuration (apocalypse)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot radius)
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Sickening energy radiates out from you in a sphere with a 30-foot radius. While the spell lasts, the sphere remains centered on you and moves with you. Each hostile creature in the sphere has disadvantage on saving throws against becoming frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned.

Creatures in the sphere can’t gain temporary hit points, and any effect that restores hit points to a creature within the sphere has those hit points reduced by an amount equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of 1).

4th-level conjuration

Components: V, S, M (a small piece of a bombardier beetle) Casting Time: 1 action Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour Range: Self Area of Effect: Self Saving Throw: None

A swirling mist of corrosive green vapor engulfs your body for the duration of this spell. Any creature that strikes you with a melee attack takes 4d6 acid damage, and you gain resistance to acid damage.

As an action, you can make a melee spell attack against one creature within your reach; a hit does 10d6 acid damage and ends this spell.

4th-level enchantment

• Components: V, S, M (a shiny piece of glass)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: 1 minute
• Range: 60 ft.

When you cast bait, choose a creature and an object. Both must be within 60 feet of you. If the creature fails a Wisdom saving throw, it experiences an overwhelming desire to possess the object. On its turn, the affected creature must move directly toward the object, ignoring all danger. Upon reaching the object, it does everything within its power to remain within 5 feet of the object and to prevent anyone else from possessing it, even if that means taking it away from its current owner. The affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns; a successful save ends the effect.

4th-level enchantment

• Components: V, S, M (a blindfold and a set of scales)
• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Duration: 8 hours
• Range: Touch

By calling on the gods of Law, you temporarily alter a willing creature’s alignment to Lawful Neutral and remove all emotional attachments or biases the creature might have. While under the effect of this spell, the creature gains advantage on saving throws against enchantment spells. All decisions the creature makes while under the spell’s influence must follow the spirit and letter of the law, and the subject is incapable of showing favoritism. A creature under the effect of balance of the mind can judge the actions of even his most hated enemy fairly and impartially.

4th-level conjuration

• Components: V, S, M (three miniature interlocked bands of silver)

You conjure a number of shining metal bands which encircle and capture a Huge or smaller target of your choice within range.

The target may make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid capture. The escape DC is equal to 8 + twice your spell attack modifier.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this using a 5th-level or higher spell slot, the target has disadvantage on both the saving throw and the escape roll.

4th-level enchantment

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Range: 30 ft.

One willing creature you can see rages like a barbarian. The creature has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, gains a +2 bonus to damage dealt with Strength-based melee weapons, and has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. The creature is unable to cast spells or concentrate on spells when raging.

The spell ends if the creature ends its turn without either attacking a hostile creature or being attacked since its previous turn.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small metal key)
• Duration: 1 round

You can force an opening in one magical barrier within range, including spells such as antimagic field, prismatic wall, wall of fire, wall of stone, and so on. You automatically open a hole in any barrier created through a spell of 4th level or lower. For a barrier created with a higher-level spell, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a successful check, a hole appears.

Until the end of your next turn, you and other creatures may walk through the hole, cast spells through it, attack through it, and so on.

At the end of your next turn, the hole closes, inflicting 4d6 force damage on any creature still in the hole and shunting the creature either inside or outside the wall (50% chance of either).

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Duration: Permanent

When you touch a structure, a soft glow spreads from your hands and flows across the walls until it envelops the entire structure.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Range: 60 ft.

A small bead of concentrated sound travels from your hand to a point within range that you select, where it explodes in a 15-foot-radius sphere. Each creature in the radius takes 5d8 thunder damage and is deafened for 1 minute, or takes half damage and is not deafened with a successful Constitution saving throw.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Until dispelled

You seal an agreement between two or more willing creatures with an oath in the name of the god of justice, using ceremonial blessings during which both the oath and the consequences of breaking it are set: if any of the sworn break this vow, they are struck by a curse. For each individual that does so, you choose one of the options given in the bestow curse spell. When the oath is broken, all participants are immediately aware that this has occurred, but they know no other details.

The curse effect of binding oath can’t be dismissed by dispel magic, but it can be removed with dispel evil and good, remove curse, or wish. Remove curse functions only if the spell slot used to cast it is equal to or higher than the spell slot used to cast binding oath. Depending on the nature of the oath, one creature’s breaking it may or may not invalidate the oath for the other targets. If the oath is completely broken, the spell ends for every affected creature, but curse effects already bestowed remain until dispelled.

4th-level necromancy (shadow)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You gather the powers of darkness into your fist and fling dark, paralyzing flame at a target within 30 feet. If you make a successful ranged spell attack, this spell siphons vitality from the target into you. For the duration, the target has disadvantage (and you have advantage) on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws made with Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. An affected target makes a Constitution saving throw (with disadvantage) at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success.

• Components: V, S, M (a bit of dirt from a ghoul’s grave)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You bring forth a blast of dark energy from the Negative Plane, sending it to a point you choose within range, at which point expands in a burst. Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 6d6 necrotic damage and have its speed reduced to half for 1 minute on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a successful one and have its speed reduced by 5 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (melee weapon owned by a dead ally of the target) Duration: Concentration, up to 4 rounds

You touch a melee weapon that was used by an ally who is now dead, and it leaps into the air and flies to another ally (chosen by you) within 15 feet of you. The weapon enters that ally’s space and moves when the ally moves. If the weapon or the ally is forced to move more than 5 feet from the other, the spell ends.

The weapon acts on your turn by making an attack if a target presents itself. Its attack modifier equals your spellcasting level + the weapon’s inherent magical bonus, if any; it receives only its own inherent magical bonus to damage. The weapon fights for up to 4 rounds or until your concentration is broken, after which the spell ends and it falls to the ground.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 action

You cause a slashing or piercing weapon you are holding to achieve a form of limited sentience that hungers for blood. For every 4 points (rounded up) of damage you inflict with the weapon on a living creature, your next attack with that weapon has a bonus of +1 to hit and to damage. Non-Evil creatures damaged by your weapon also suffer a -2 penalty to hit you with their next attack, unless they make a successful Wisdom saving throw.

4th-level enchantment (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a few drops of holy water)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a willing creature and remove one terrible memory it has. This can negate the effect of a failed fear or sanity check or simply remove a horrible memory that has no actual game effect. This has no effect on magically-induced or altered memories. You cannot use this spell on yourself.

4th-level abjuration (cleric, paladin)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: up to 1 minute

You invoke the blessing of a god of birth and renewal to aid you in your quest by protecting you against being slain by your foes.

4th-level divination (blood)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of the quarry’s blood)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

By touching a drop of your quarry’s blood (spilled or drawn within the past hour), you can follow the creature’s trail unerringly across any surface or under water, no matter how fast you are moving. If your quarry takes flight, you can follow its trail along the ground—or through the air, if you have the means to fly.

If your quarry moves magically (such as by way of a dimension door or a teleport spell), you sense its trail as a straight path leading from where the magical movement started to where it ended. Such a route might lead through lethal or impassable barriers. This spell even reveals the route of a creature using pass without trace, but it fails to locate a creature protected by nondetection or by other effects that prevent scrying spells or cause divination spells to fail. If your quarry moves to another plane, its trail ends without trace, but blood spoor picks up the trail again if the caster moves to the same plane as the quarry before the spell’s duration expires.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Select one creature within range that has been wounded in the last minute and hasn’t yet received any healing. If the creature fails a Constitution saving throw, the blood flowing from its wounds bursts into fire, inflicting 5d8 fire damage to the creature at the start of each of its turns and preventing it from receiving any healing while the spell is in effect. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each its turns; the spell ends when it has made two successful saves, which need not be consecutive.

4th-level necromancy (blood)

• Components: V, S, M (a vial of blood)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You cause the blood within a creature’s body to boil with supernatural heat. Choose one creature that you can see within range that isn’t a construct or an undead. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, it takes 2d6 fire damage and the spell ends. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d6 fire damage and is blinded. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.

On a failure, the creature takes an additional 2d6 fire damage and remains blinded.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

A multitude of thorny vines burst from your fingers and enwrap a willing, nonarmored creature you touch to form a suit of fibrous armor around the target. This armor is treated as medium armor with a base AC of 15 + Dexterity modifier (max 2). Normal penalties apply if the armored creature doesn’t have proficiency with medium armor. Any foe that strikes a creature encased in bramble armor with a melee attack takes 1d4 piercing damage.

4th-level transmutation (winter)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (an icicle) Duration: Instantaneous

This spell uses biting cold to make a metal or stone object you touch become brittle and more easily shattered. The object’s hit points are reduced by a number equal to your level as a spellcaster, and Strength checks to shatter or break the object are made with advantage if they occur within 1 minute of the spell’s casting.

4th-level evocation (bard, cleric, druid, paladin, ranger)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch

You breathe out a bubble that floats quickly toward one creature within range. If the creature fails a Dexterity saving throw, the bubble bursts over it and covers it with goo. Creatures covered with goo suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls and Dexterity checks, and their speed is reduced by 10 feet. In addition, creatures covered in bubble boop can’t cast spells with somatic components. The bubble goop remains until an affected creature or an adjacent ally uses an action to scrape it off and the affected creature makes a successful Dexterity check.

At Higher Levels: For each spell slot used higher than 4th level, you can create one additional bubble. Each bubble can be targeted against a different creature.

• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Regardless of the time of day or your location, you command the watchful gaze of the moon to illuminate threats to you and your allies. Shafts of bright moonlight, each 5 feet wide, shine down from the sky (or from the ceiling if you are indoors), illuminating all spaces within range that contain threats, whether they are enemies, traps, or hidden hazards. An enemy creature that makes a successful Charisma saving throw resists the effect and is not picked out by the moon’s glow.

The glow does not make invisible creatures visible, but it does indicate an invisible creature’s general location (somewhere within the 5-foot beam). The light continues to illuminate any target that moves, but a target that moves out of the spell’s area is no longer illuminated. A threat that enters the area after the spell is cast is not subject to the spell’s effect.

4th-level evocation (apocalypse)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a vial of poison, acid, or other caustic substance)

You create either a rectangular pool of acid 50 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, or a circular pool of acid 20 feet in diameter and 3 feet deep, in an open space you can see within range. Each creature in the spell’s area when the spell is cast takes 4d10 acid damage, or half as much damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. A creature that enters the area on its turn or ends its turn in the area takes 4d10 acid damage, or half as much damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (an iron chain link dipped in blood)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You are surrounded by an aura of dim light in a 10-foot radius as you conjure an iron chain that extends out to a creature you can see within 30 feet. The creature must make a successful Dexterity saving throw or be grappled (escape DC equal to your spell save DC). While grappled in this way, the creature is also restrained. A creature that’s restrained at the start of its turn takes 4d6 psychic damage. You can have only one creature restrained in this way at a time.

As an action, you can scan the mind of the creature that’s restrained by your chain. If the creature gets a failure on a Wisdom saving throw, you learn one discrete piece of information of your choosing known by the creature (such as a name, a password, or an important number). The effect is otherwise harmless.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

You call upon your deity to grant you and your allies special favor and to curse your foes.

As long as you continue to recite the holy writ, your allies that are within range gain +1 to attack and damage, +1 to AC, and 2d4 temporary hit points, while your enemies have their hit point totals reduced by 2d4. If that reduces their hit point totals to 0, they fall unconscious.

This spell continues for as long as you chant, up to 1 minute. If you take damage, you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC equal to 10 or half the damage you take, whichever is higher) to be able to continue chanting. Likewise, if you are silenced through magical or mundane means, this spell ends.

4th-level transmutation (chaos)

• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S

You cause the form of a willing creature to become malleable, dripping and flowing according to the target’s will as if the creature were a vaguely humanoid-shaped ooze. The creature is not affected by difficult terrain, it has advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to escape a grapple, and it suffers no penalties when squeezing through spaces one size smaller than itself. The target’s movement is halved while it is affected by chaotic form.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration increases by 10 minutes for each slot level above 4th.

• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A sword made of holy fire blazes to life in your hand. The size and shape of the blade conforms to your will, but it is never larger than a one-handed weapon sized for a Medium creature. If you let go of the blade, it disappears, but if you maintain concentration on the spell, you can evoke the blade again as a bonus action. You can use your action to make a melee attack with the burning blade. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 fire and 2d6 radiant damage. On a critical hit, the target catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 2d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. The burning blade sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, both the fire damage and radiant damage increase by 1d6 for every two slot levels above 4th.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a fragment of bone)
• Duration: 1 minute

You create an oversized but weightless scythe made of glowing, blue-black force.

You may choose to wield it or give it to someone else to wield. The scythe does 2d8 + the wielder’s Strength modifier in slashing damage, plus 1d8 necrotic damage. If the target is undead it takes an additional 4d8 necrotic damage, even if it is normally immune or resistant to necrotic damage, and it must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The scythe is a two-handed weapon with reach.

4th-level abjuration

• Components: V, S, M (holy symbol)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Range: Self

You radiate a holy aura in a 30-foot radius that is anathema to undead and fiends. Any undead or fiend that enters the aura or begins its turn in the aura takes 2d6 radiant damage and must make a Charisma saving throw; if the saving throw fails, the creature must move out of the aura as soon it can.

4th-level divination

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
• Range: Self

You empower a magic circle that links to sigils of seeing you previously created. You can select a number of sigils up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The distance between the circle of scrying and the sigils of seeing is not a factor, and the sigils can even be on other planes of existence. When you stand inside your circle of scrying, you can view the area around any of the linked sigils as if you were actually standing at the location of the sigil. You can switch between different sigils as an action. The casting time for the spell depends on whether the circle is being drawn anew or a previously placed, permanent circle is being empowered. Drawing a new circle takes one day. Empowering a previously placed, permanent circle takes 1 minute.

Drawing a new circle requires material components costing 250 gold pieces. The circle is typically a flat design of a geometric shape with a 5-foot radius.

A sigil of seeing is created spending one minute drawing the sigil on a flat surface. Each sigil requires special ink that costs 100 gold pieces per sigil. The sigil disappears within moments of being drawn, but it reappears when you are scrying through it. A sigil is typically no more an inch in diameter. While a sigil is in use, it can be noticed by anyone who examines the spot where it’s drawn and makes a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check. While the sigil isn’t in use, finding it requires a deliberate search of the correct area and a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell saving throw DC.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a snake scale)
• Duration: 10 minutes

A mass of writhing, translucent snakes drapes your body, protecting you from harm and fending off enemies. You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss it.

For the duration of the spell, you gain resistance to poison damage and immunity to the poisoned condition.

In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet hits you with a melee attack, that creature is struck by one of the serpents. The attacker takes 2d8 poison damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A successful saving throw halves the damage and negates the poisoned effect.

4th-level transmutation

Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Duration: 1 minute Range: 30 ft. Area of Effect: 1 to 4 creatures Saving Throw: None

You create a bond between up to four willing creatures you can see. All must be within 30 feet of you. For the duration of the spell, a creature may, as a bonus action, transfer any number of its hit points to another creature affected by the spell. Any hit points that would raise a creature over its maximum number of hit points are gained as temporary hit points. Temporary hit points gained through this spell vanish when the spell ends, but other hit point changes are permanent.

4th-level conjuration (fiendish)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You summon fiends that appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. You choose one of the following options for what appears:

• One fiend of challenge rating 2 or lower
• Two fiends of challenge rating 1 or lower
• Four fiends of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
• Eight fiends of challenge rating 1/4 or lower

A fiend summoned by this spell disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

The GM has the creatures’ statistics.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more creatures appear: twice as many with a 6th-level spell slot and three times as many with an 8th-level spell slot.

4th-level conjuration (sorcerer, warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You summon a void dragon wyrmling from the void.

The dragon appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The summoned dragon is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the dragon, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to the dragon, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, more dragons appear: two with a 6th-level slot and three with an 8th-level slot. If you cast this spell with a 9th-level slot, you can instead summon a young void dragon.

4th-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

You ask a question of an entity connected to storms, such as an elemental, a deity, or a primal spirit, and the entity replies with destructive fury.

As part of the casting of the spell, you must speak a question consisting of fifteen words or fewer. Choose a point within range. A short, truthful answer to your question booms from that point. It can be heard clearly by any creature within 600 feet. Each creature within 15 feet of the point takes 7d6 thunder damage, or half as much damage with a successful Constitution saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a bean or pea)
• Duration: 1 minute

You pick a point within range that contains mist of any sort, even magically-created mists. You can control all mists within a 30 foot radius sphere of that point. You may move it as you will, with a speed of 40 feet, hold it still, or split it multiple smaller clouds, and so on.

If the mist is actually an intelligent being such as a vampire in mist-form, that creature must make a Charisma saving throw. You cannot cause the creature damage through this spell.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (dried wyvern’s blood)
• Duration: Permanent

You transform one mammalian beast of CR 1 or lower into a darkenbeast. You can only cast this spell when you and your target creature are not in sunlight.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can create one additional darkenbeast per spell slot above 4th level.

Medium monstrosity, neutral evil

Armor Class 14 (natural armor) Hit Points 45 (6d8+18) Speed 5 ft., fly 40 ft.

STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 16 (+3) 15 (+2) 16 (+3) 5 (-3) 11 (+0) 5 (-3) Saving Throws Constitution +5 Damage Vulnerabilities radiant Condition Immunities blinded, charmed, deafened, exhaustion, frightened, stunned Skills Perception +4 Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 14 Languages — Challenge 3 (700 XP)

• Magic Resistance. The darkenbeast has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Spell Imprinting. Each darkenbeast may have a single spell imprinted on it, which it can cast, once per day, without need for material components. This spell may be of any level and has a 25% chance of failure. Whether the spell is cast successfully or not, the darkenbeast immediately bursts into purple flame and dies, reverting to its true form.
• Sunlight Hypersensitivity. The darkenbeast takes 20 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

• Multiattack. The darkenbeast may make two claw and one bite attack.
• Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) slashing.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S, M (handful of raw animal fat)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Permanent
• Range: 30 ft.

You curse one creature you can see. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against the curse. If the saving throw fails, the target creature bloats into a horrific mockery of itself. Nonmagical belts, buckles, armor, clothes, shoes, and other garments are all destroyed by rapidly expanding rolls of flesh. The now-obese victim quadruples in weight and girth, loses 4 points of Strength and 6 points of Dexterity, and its speed is reduced by 10 feet. Each month, it loses an additional point of Constitution. Ability scores can’t be reduced below 1 by this spell.

The creature returns to its previous size instantly if the curse is lifted by magic.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a vial of clean water)
• Duration: 1 hour

You cast this spell on a vial of water, and then immediately cast another spell on the vial. The second spell must be of 3rd level or lower and must have a range of Self or Touch. Rather than take effect immediately, the second spell is absorbed into the water, creating a temporary “potion.” This potion lasts for 1 hour before both spells go inert.

4th-level conjuration

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Duration: Permanent
• Range: Self

One of your eyes extrudes from its socket until it pops loose, when it is replaced by another eye that grew behind the original. The eye that popped out of your head becomes a mobile, eyelike object that can animate its ganglia of trailing nerves to crawl 5 feet per minute, as long as you concentrate on its movement. You can see whatever the eye can see.

An identify spell cast on the eye reveals your name. The eye has AC 10 and 1 hit point. It disappears when reduced to 0 hit points, and its destruction stuns you for 1d4 rounds and blinds you for 1d6 minutes.

4th-level evocation (sorcerer, warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a scale from a ziphius)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You subject one creature you can within range to the pressure found deep underwater. The creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained and takes 2d10 bludgeoning damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and the spell ends.

A creature restrained by this spell can make another Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a failure, the creature is restrained and takes bludgeoning damage as above, and the damage increases by 1d10. On a success, the creature takes half damage and can move at half speed. The spell ends when the creature successfully saves against this spell twice. The successes don’t need to be consecutive.

4th-level evocation

• Components: V
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Range: Self

You give a piercing scream that vibrates in a 40-foot radius sphere centered on you. Unattended crystal or glass items in the affected area take 7d6 thunder damage. Each creature in the area takes 7d6 thunder damage and is deafened, or takes half damage and is not deafened with a successful Constitution saving throw.

A deafened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns; a successful save restores its hearing.

At Higher Levels: For each spell slot used higher than 4th level, the spell does 1d6 extra damage.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (an object worth at least 75 gp)
• Duration: 24 hours

Cursed gift imbues an object with a harmful magical effect that you or another creature in physical contact with you is currently suffering from. If you give this object to a creature that freely accepts it during the duration of the spell, the recipient must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the harmful effect is transferred to the recipient for the duration of the spell (or until the effect ends).

Returning the object to you, destroying it, or giving it to someone else has no effect. Remove curse and comparable magic can relieve the individual who received the item, but the harmful effect still returns to the previous victim when this spell ends if the effect’s duration has not expired.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration increases by 24 hours for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level necromancy (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Range: 1 mile
• Components: V, S, M (a clay image)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a small effigy out of clay that resembles your target. You must know this target’s appearance and his general whereabouts. You may then choose of the following actions to take:

• Immobilization. You hold the effigy tightly. The target becomes paralyzed. The escape DC is equal to your spell save DC.
• Wounding. You stab or pummel the effigy. The target may attempt to avoid taking damage by making a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 3d10 force damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one.

If you incorporate a bit of hair, skin, blood, nail clipping, etc., your target is at disadvantage on his attempts to escape and his saving throw.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of ice or quartz)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You send a blast of deep cold at a creature, dealing 4d8 cold damage to it and encasing it in ice. An encased creature is grappled and takes an extra 2d8 cold damage at the start of its turn every round it remains encased. If the target of this spell makes a successful Dexterity saving throw, it takes half the damage and none of the extra damage and is not encased in ice, but the ice that clings to its body reduces its speed by 15 feet (to a minimum speed of 5 feet) until it takes an action to remove the ice.

A grappled target can take an action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, breaking free of the ice on a success. Alternatively, another creature within 5 feet of the target can make a Strength check on its turn, freeing the creature on a success. The ice can also be attacked. It has AC 12, 10 hit points, and vulnerability to fire damage.

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

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a broken iron rod)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

4th-level abjuration

• Components: V, S, M (a bit of flesh from a demon)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Range: Touch

You touch a willing creature and give its skin the defensive properties of demon flesh. The creature gains resistance to cold and fire damage and to damage from nonsilvered, nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing weapons.

At Higher Levels: When you cast demon flesh using an 8th-level or higher spell slot, the creature gains immunity to cold and fire damage instead of resistance.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S, M (a tiny candle)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
• Range: 200 ft.

The mainsail of one ship you can see becomes insubstantial for the duration of this spell. The loss of a mainsail reduces the ship’s speed by a percentage equal to the sail’s percentage of the ship’s total sails. On many smaller ships, this will be 50% or more. On larger ships, it always reduces the ship’s speed by at least 25%.

4th-level abjuration

• Components: V, S, M (a piece of tarpaulin)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: 24 hours
• Range: Touch

A willing creature you touch becomes surrounded by an aura that maintains a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and protects the creature from the blazing heat of day and the freezing cold of night. It also shields the creature from the effects of exposure to sun and wind but not from objects propelled by the wind, such as sand blown by a sandstorm.

4th-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot cone)
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or lapse into despondent depression as they realize the hopelessness and folly of their beliefs. An affected creature will sit down and brood or start crying uncontrollably. An affected creature may make a new saving throw at the start of each of its turns, but at disadvantage.

On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot cone)
• Components: V, S, M (a clump of dried clay)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You spew forth a cloud of black dust that draws all moisture from a 30-foot cone. Each animal in the cone takes 4d10 necrotic damage, or half as much damage if it makes a successful Constitution saving throw. The damage is 6d10 for plants and plant creatures, also halved on a successful Constitution saving throw.

4th-level transmutation (angelic)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a wing feather from any bird)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You touch a willing creature. The target grows feathery wings of pure white that grant it a flying speed of 60 feet and the ability to hover. When the target takes the Attack action, it can use a bonus action to make a melee weapon attack with the wings, with a reach of 10 feet. If the wing attack hits, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier and must make a successful Strength saving throw or fall prone. When the spell ends, the wings disappear, and the target falls if it was aloft.

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

4th-level necromancy (warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: instantaneous

Starting with the undead creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be destroyed.

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

You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to half the hit point total of the first undead creature that was destroyed by this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, roll an additional 1d20 for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S, M (a tooth)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Range: 50 ft.

For the duration of this spell, you can excavate 1,000 cubic feet (a cube 10 feet square) of earth, sand, or mud each round. You can expand an existing hole or start a new one. You can’t dig through solid stone or mortared stone walls.

The earth removed from the hole is scattered evenly around the hole. If you dig deeper than 20 feet, the hole has a 15% chance of collapsing (roll of 1-3 on 1d20). The chance the hole collapses increases by 5% for every 5 feet you dig beyond 20 feet unless it is braced or supported.

You can also use this spell to tunnel through earth. If the tunnel is longer than 10 feet, it has a 30% chance of collapsing (1-6 on 1d20), +5% for every 5 feet beyond 30 feet, unless the tunnel is braced or supported.

Most creatures can easily react quickly enough to step aside automatically if you try digging beneath them.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A green ray shoots out from your outstretched hand and strikes one creature you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack to hit. On a hit, the creature is enveloped in a shimmering emerald field and is unable to move extradimensionally. This prevents the creature from using spells such as arcane gate, dimension door, misty step, plane shift, or teleport. It also prevents creatures from using natural abilities like a blink dog’s or balor’s teleportation.

4th-level illusion

• Components: V, S, M (a lump of soft clay)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: 12 hours
• Range: 120 ft.

Select an area of up to 8,000 cubic feet. (An easy way to picture this is eight 10-foot cubes.) The selected area must be contiguous and can’t be less than 10 feet across at any point. The entire area must be within the spell’s range. Inside that area, distance is distorted to be twice or half what it actually is (your choice). The change must be the same in the entire area. For example, if distance is doubled in a 30-foot section of corridor, creatures moving, attacking, or looking along it would treat it as if it were 60 feet long. A 20-foot-deep pit could become effectively 40 feet deep. Conversely, if distance is halved, a 60-foot corridor would be treated as only 30 feet long. Weapon and spell ranges are affected by the change, as is falling damage. There is no apparent change in the size of creatures or objects in the affected space, but the space itself appears longer or shorter. That is, a 60-foot corridor that’s distorted to be 120 feet long does look 120 feet long from both ends, and someone in the middle of it sees the end as being 60 feet away.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a field of subsonic vibrations in a 30-foot-radius sphere, centered on a point you choose within range, that causes physical distress and extreme discomfort. A creature in this area or that enters it after you cast the spell must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated until the beginning of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature can act normally. If a creature begins its turn in the area, it must make another successful save to avoid being incapacitated. Constructs, deafened creatures, oozes, plants, and undead are not affected by this spell.

The vibrations from the distressing resonance interfere with tremorsense, negating any use of that ability in the spell’s area.

4th-level transmutation

• Components: V, S
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Duration: 1 round
• Range: Self

Until the end of the round, your movement speed is doubled and, as long as you move only in a straight line, you can make a normal melee attack against each creature you move adjacent to. If your attack hits, the creature is knocked prone in addition to other effects. You do not provoke opportunity attacks while moving in this fashion.

4th-level divination

• Components: V, S, M (100 gp worth of incense, which is consumed by the spell)
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Range: Self

You become a channel for your god, allowing your deity to converse with others through your body. You are unaware of all that occurs or is said during this conversation. The spell doesn’t compel the attention of your deity, who can choose to ignore its effects.

At Higher Levels: When you cast divine communion using a 6th-level or higher spell slot, you can instead touch a willing creature and allow it to commune with its god.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (10-foot radius)
• Components: V, S, M (a vial of poison)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You drink a dose of venom or other poison and spread the effect to other living things around you. If the poison normally allows a saving throw, your save automatically fails. You suffer the effect of the poison normally before spreading the poison to all other living creatures within 10 feet of you. Instead of making the usual saving throw against the poison, each creature around you makes a Constitution saving throw against the spell. On a successful save, a target suffers no damage or other effect from the poison and is immune to further castings of doom of serpent coils for 24 hours. On a failed save, a target doesn’t suffer the poison’s usual effect; instead, it takes 4d6 poison damage and is poisoned. While poisoned in this way, a creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a subsequent failed save, it takes 4d6 poison damage and is still poisoned. On a subsequent successful save, it is no longer poisoned and is immune to further castings of doom of serpent coils for 24 hours.

Multiple castings of this spell have no additional effect on creatures that are already poisoned by it. The effect can be ended by protection from poison or comparable magic.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

The ground within 30 feet of a point you designate turns into filthy and slippery muck. This spell affects sand, earth, mud, and ice, but not stone, wood, or other material. For the duration, the ground in the affected area is difficult terrain. A creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the mud until the spell ends. A restrained creature can free itself by using an action to make a successful Strength saving throw. A creature that frees itself or that enters the area after the spell was cast is affected by the difficult terrain but doesn’t become restrained.

Each round, a restrained creature sinks deeper into the muck. A Medium or smaller creature that is restrained for 3 rounds becomes submerged at the end of its third turn. A Large creature becomes submerged after 4 rounds.

Submerged creatures begin suffocating if they aren’t holding their breath. A creature that is still submerged when the spell ends is sealed beneath the newly solidified ground. The creature can escape only if someone else digs it out or it has a burrowing speed.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (dust from a stone quarry)
• Duration: 1 minute

You create a ripple of dark energy that destroys everything it touches. A 10-foot-radius, 10-foot-deep, cylindrical extradimensional hole appears on a horizontal surface of sufficient size. Since it extends into another dimension, the pit has no weight and does not otherwise displace the original underlying material. You can create the pit in the deck of a ship as easily as in a dungeon floor or the ground of a forest.

The pit’s radius expands by 10 feet at the start of your turn each round for the duration. Any creature standing in the original conjured space, or on a space taken up by the pit as it grows, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid falling in. Any creature adjacent to the pit when it expands must likewise succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid falling in. Creatures subjected to a successful pushing effect (such as by a spell like gust of wind) may not make this saving throw. Creatures that fall into the pit take falling damage as normal.

The walls of the pit are slick and slimy, requiring a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to climb. Creatures and objects that remain in the pit take 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of their turns. If you fall into your own pit, you take damage; then the spell ends and you are incapacitated for 2 rounds. When the spell ends, the floor of the pit rises, bringing creatures in the pit back up to the original surface. Each creature in the pit must then make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is stunned for 2 rounds after the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can increase the depth of the pit by 10 feet for each slot level above 3rd.

4th-level divination (dragon)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self

The spell’s magic ends on the piece of ammunition when it hits or misses, and the spell ends when twelve pieces of ammunition have been drawn from the quiver.

If a target dies as a result of your ranged attack while using this ammunition, its flesh melts away and it is raised as a skeleton under your control for 8 hours, after which time it stops obeying your commands and will attack you until destroyed. You may control up to 4 skeletons at a time with this spell. If you attempt to take control of another skeleton with a dusk arrow when 4 are currently under your control, you will lose control of the skeleton that has been under your control the longest, and it will attack you.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command a skeleton raised by a dusk arrow if it is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one).

The ghost is friendly to you and your companions for the duration of the spell. Roll initiative for the ghost, which takes its own turns. It obeys verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue a command to it, the ghost defends itself from hostile creatures but doesn’t move or take other actions.

You touch a creature with a ring that has been etched with symbols representing a particular ability (Strength, Dexterity, and so forth). The creature must make a successful Constitution saving throw or lose one-fifth (rounded down) of its points from that ability score.

Those points are absorbed into the ring and stored there for the spell’s duration. If you then use an action to touch the ring to another creature on a later turn, the absorbed ability score points transfer to that creature. Once the points are transferred to another creature, you don’t need to maintain concentration on the spell; the recipient creature retains the transferred ability score points for the remainder of the hour.

The spell ends if you lose concentration before the transfer takes place, if either the target or the recipient dies, or if either the target or the recipient is affected by a successful dispel magic spell. When the spell ends, the ability score points return to the original owner. Before then, that creature can’t regain the stolen attribute points, even with greater restoration or comparable magic.

You open a 10-foot square hole in the floor within range. The hole can’t appear under an occupied space. The hole is an extra-dimensional space with no bottom. Any creature falling into the pit never hits the bottom. To observers outside the hole, a creature or object that fell in appears to be just 20 feet below the level of the ground or floor, and falling endlessly without ever getting farther away. A creature who looks up after falling into the hole sees the lip of the hole receding farther and farther behind.

Flying creatures can get out of the pit without difficulty. A 20-foot rope will reach anyone who fell in, but the falling creature must make a successful Dexterity saving throw to catch the rope; if the saving throw fails, they perceive the rope as being too short to reach them.

When the spell ends, the hole closes. Every creature inside it at that moment is trapped and will plunge forever unless another endless abyss spell is cast on the same location; this reopens the pit and makes it possible to rescue trapped creatures. Other magical rescues might be possible, at the discretion of the GM.

A creature that fails the saving throw stands transfixed and can do nothing except watch the fire until the beginning of its next turn.

While a creature is transfixed, it has disadvantage on saving throws against enchantment spells.

Any physical attack or attack that triggers a saving throw against a fire-fascinated creature automatically breaks the effect on that creature. Likewise, interposing a solid barrier between a fascinated creature and the veil of flames breaks the effect.

It appears in an unoccupied space on the ground within 10 feet of you. You can send the weapon rack back to the Ethereal Plane by using an action and touching both the rack and the replica.

After 60 days, there is a cumulative 5 percent chance per day that the spell’s effect ends.

You make an area of metal, stone, or wood of up to 6 square feet transparent as glass. Metal can be up to 4 inches thick; stone can be up to 1 foot thick, and wood can be up to 2 feet thick. You can choose to make the area transparent to everyone, make it transparent only to you, or to create a one-way mirror. This spell does not work through lead.

4th-level necromancy (ritual) (mythos)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Your touch inflicts a nauseating, alien rot. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, you afflict the creature with the supernatural disease green decay (see below), and creatures within 15 feet of the target who can see it must make a successful Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of their next turn. You lose concentration on this spell if you can’t see the target at the end of your turn.

Green Decay. The flesh of a creature that has this disease is slowly consumed by a virulent extraterrestrial fungus.

While the disease persists, the creature has disadvantage on Charisma and Wisdom checks and on Wisdom saving throws, and it has vulnerability to acid, fire, and necrotic damage. An affected creature must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage, and its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. If the creature gets three successes on these saving throws before it gets three failures, the disease ends immediately (but the damage and the hit point maximum reduction remain in effect). If the creature gets three failures on these saving throws before it gets three successes, the disease lasts for the duration of the spell, and no further saving throws are allowed.

• Duration: Until dispelled or broken

You magically seal a door, window, box, or similar closure against one type of creature: aberration, fey, undead, etc. If a creature of that type attempts to damage the seal, it is considered to have an AC of 20 and all of that creature’s attacks do half-damage.

The seal does not prevent that type of creature from damaging the area around the seal. If the seal was placed on the lock of a box, the creature can destroy the box. If it was placed on a door, the creature could destroy the walls around the door.

4th-level abjuration (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of your sweat or spittle and a pebble)
• Duration: Until triggered

You create an invisible field of force shaped like a weapon of your choice; you use this force to guard a doorway or other area and assign it a password.

If that area is disturbed by someone who does not first speak the password, the weapon strikes. It only attacks once but it automatically hits and does 4d12 damage appropriate to its type and the target is stunned for 1 minute. The target must also make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

• Casting Time: 1 action

• Duration: concentration, up to 10 minutes

You touch a creature, and that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, an ill omen is placed on the target, causing disadvantage on Strength and Constitution ability checks and saving throws for the duration. While cursed, the target gains 5d10 worth of negative temporary hit points. These negative temporary hit points must be healed through before a target’s normal hit points can be healed. A remove curse spell ends this effect.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the Duration is 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the Duration is 24 hours.

You create a discordant ringing sound that fills a 60-foot-radius sphere centered on you. When you move, the sphere moves with you. Any creature in the area, including you, must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC when they try to cast a spell; if the saving throw fails, the spell also fails (it has no effect) and the spell slot is expended. A creature maintaining a spell that requires concentration must make this saving throw at the beginning of each of its turns or it loses concentration and the spell ends.

Creatures that can’t hear are immune to this effect.

4th-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur from a game animal)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You instill an irresistible sense of insecurity and terror in the target. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to avoid your notice and is frightened of you while you are within its line of sight. While you are within 1 mile of the target, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track the target, and the target can’t take a long rest, terrified that you are just around the corner. The target can repeat the saving throw once every 10 minutes, ending the spell on a success.

On a successful save, the target isn’t affected, and you can’t use this spell against it again for 24 hours.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 6th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours, and the target can repeat the saving throw once each hour.

You may only infuse one bloodstone with this magic at a time.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the spell’s duration, the weapon’s ammunition—or the weapon itself, if it’s a thrown weapon—seeks its target’s vital organs. Make the attack roll as normal. On a hit, the weapon deals an extra 6d6 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon, or half as much damage on a miss, as it streaks unerringly toward its target. If this attack reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target has disadvantage on its next death saving throw, and, if it dies, it can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the extra damage on a hit increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: instantaneous

You cause a target’s previously healed battle scars to rupture as blood begins exit from these opened wounds. Select a creature within range. The target makes a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 slashing damage on a failed save. Additionally, roll a d8 for every two hit dice belonging to the creature. If this number is higher than the target’s total hit points at the end of its next turn, it falls to 0 hit points. Temporary hit points do not count towards this total. If the target saves on the initial save, this spell has no effect.

4th-level transmutation (shadow)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: S, M (charcoal)
• Duration: 3 hours

When you touch a willing creature with a piece of charcoal while casting this spell, the target and everything it carries blends into and becomes part of the target’s shadow, which remains discernible, although its body seems to disappear.

The shadow is incorporeal, has no weight, and is immune to all but psychic and radiant damage. The target remains aware of its surroundings and can move, but only as a shadow could move - flowing along surfaces as if the creature were moving normally. The creature can step out of the shadow at will, resuming its physical shape in the shadow’s space and ending the spell.

This spell cannot be cast in an area devoid of light, where a shadow would not normally appear. Even a faint light source, such as moonlight or starlight, is sufficient. If that light source is removed, or if the shadow is flooded with light in such a way that the physical creature wouldn’t cast a shadow, the spell ends and the creature reappears in the shadow’s space.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Range: Special
• Components: V, M (a scroll covered with pictograms and runes depicting eyes, ears, and brains, which are burned when you cast the spell)

You spend an hour completely sealing a room of no more than 150 cubic feet: you lock and board all windows and doors, fill all cracks in the walls with rags or putty, and so on. This spell then makes that room completely undetectable to all divination spells of 5th level and lower. In addition, all creatures outside of that room forget about the rooms existence. If you open any of the room’s doors or windows, the spell fails.

You curse a creature that you can see in range with an insatiable, ghoulish appetite. If it has a digestive system, the creature must make a successful Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to consume the flesh of living creatures for the duration.

The target gains a bite attack and moves to and attacks the closest creature that isn’t an undead or a construct. The target is proficient with the bite, and it adds its Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls. The damage is piercing and the damage die is a d4. If the target is larger than Medium, its damage die increases by 1d4 for each size category it is above Medium. In addition, the target has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn’t have all of its hit points.

If there isn’t a viable creature within range for the target to attack, it deals piercing damage to itself equal to 2d4 + its Strength modifier. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If the target has two consecutive failures, hunger of Leng lasts its full duration with no further saving throws allowed.

It can hold as many as nine Medium or smaller creatures. The atmosphere inside the shelter is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. The shelter’s camouflage provides a modicum of concealment to its inhabitants; a creature outside the shelter has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks to detect or locate a creature within the shelter.

Additionally, each recipient gains temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. If you move farther than 1 mile from your allies or you die, this spell ends. A character can be affected by only one casting of this spell at a time; subsequent, overlapping castings have no additional effect and don’t extend the spell’s duration.

• Duration: 4 hours

You conjure an semi-real audience. Every minute for the next five minutes, 1d4 people will enter the area as if just coming in from the outside (they do not poof into existence).

They appear to be a mix of people appropriate for the circumstances and location. When it’s appropriate, they will applaud, chit-chat, and eat available snacks. If it’s appropriate for the circumstances, they may flirt or act as bullies. They do not talk about themselves at all, as they have no history or true knowledge beyond trivia you yourself might know. Nor do they leave the area. When the spell’s duration ends, or you dismiss the spell, the audience members leave in the same way they came in.

The members of the audience do not fight in any manner. They have an AC of 10 and 1 hp, and will instantly vanish if harmed in any manner.

4th-level transmutation (ritual)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (raw materials with a value in gp equal to the hit points of the siege weapon to be created) Duration: Permanent

With this spell, you instantly transform raw materials into a siege engine of Large size or smaller (the GM has information on this topic). The raw materials for the spell don’t need to be the actual components a siege weapon is normally built from; they just need to be manufactured goods made of the appropriate substances (typically including some form of finished wood and a few bits of worked metal) and have a gold piece value of no less than the weapon’s hit points.

For example, a mangonel has 100 hit points. Instant siege weapon will fashion any collection of raw materials worth at least 100 gp into a mangonel. Those materials might be lumber and fittings salvaged from a small house, or 100 gp worth of finished goods such as three wagons or two heavy crossbows. The spell also creates enough ammunition for ten shots, if the siege engine uses ammunition.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level, a Huge siege engine can be made; at 8th level, a Gargantuan siege engine can be made. In addition, for each slot level above 4th, the spell creates another ten shots’ worth of ammunition.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (15-foot cone)
• Components: V, S, M (a ringed lock of hair from an undead creature)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You emit an unholy shriek from beyond the grave. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 6d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a creature with 50 hit points or fewer fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is instead reduced to 0 hit points. This wail has no effect on constructs and undead.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

It may make a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending that effect on a success. However, each round that the creature remains incapacitated, it takes an additional 2d6 psychic damage.

4th-level divination (labyrinth)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of blank parchment)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Upon casting this spell, you immediately gain a sense of your surroundings. If you are in a physical maze or any similar structure with multiple paths and dead ends, this spell guides you to the nearest exit, although not necessarily along the fastest or shortest route.

In addition, while the spell is guiding you out of such a structure, you have advantage on ability checks to avoid being surprised and on initiative rolls. You gain a perfect memory of all portions of the structure you move through during the spell’s duration. If you revisit such a portion, you recognize that you’ve been there before and automatically notice any changes to the environment.

Also, while under the effect of this spell, you can exit any maze spell (and its lesser and greater varieties) as an action without needing to make an Intelligence check.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, M (a sling stone)

If it hits, the target takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage plus 6d6 fire damage. The target takes additional fire damage at the start of each of your next three turns, starting with 4d6, then 2d6, and then 1d6. The additional damage can be avoided if the target or an ally within 5 feet of the target scrapes off the lava. This is done by using an action to make a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spellcasting save DC. The spell ends if the heated sling stone isn’t used immediately.

4th-level evocation

The sparks provide you with a warm shield or a chill shield, as you choose. The chill shield grants you resistance to lightning damage, and the warm shield grants you resistance to acid damage.

In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the shield erupts with electricity. The attacker takes 2d8 acid damage from a warm shield, or 2d8 lightning damage from a cold shield.

• Components: V, S, M (a sponge and liquid from a venom or water elemental)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You transform a willing creature you touch, along with everything it’s wearing and carrying, into a fluid form for the duration. The spell ends if the creature drops to 0 hit points.

While the target is in this form, its walking speed becomes 10 feet, and it gains a swimming speed of 40 feet. The target can enter and occupy the space of another creature. The target has resistance to nonmagical damage. The target can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks. The target can breathe water and air. The target’s reach with melee weapon attacks increases by 5 feet.

While in fluid form, the target can only communicate in Aquan. It can manipulate objects, but any objects it was carrying or holding when the spell was cast can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with. The target can’t cast spells, and it has disadvantage with all weapon attacks except unarmed strikes. The target’s unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + its Strength modifier, regardless of any other abilities that modify this damage.

4th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a piece of rope twisted into a loop) Duration: 8 hours

You touch a trail no more than 1 mile in length, reconfiguring it to give it switchbacks and curves that make the trail loop back on itself. For the duration, the trail makes subtle changes in its configuration and in the surrounding environment to give the impression of forward progression along a continuous path. A creature on the trail must succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check to notice that the trail is leading it in a closed loop.

4th-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a handful of red rose petals)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell causes creatures to behave unpredictably, as they randomly experience the full gamut of emotions of someone who has fallen head over heels in love. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw when you cast this spell or be affected by it.

An affected target can’t take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior for that turn.

At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (an uncut gemstone worth at least 25 gp)
• Duration: 1 minute

A luminous aura completely covers you and conforms to the contours of your body.

If you have a familiar, that familiar is also covered by the mantle as long as it stays in physical contact with you.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron, which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

For the duration, you and up to eight willing creatures you choose that are within range are protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits.

Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

4th-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small piece of linen cloth woven with a few threads of gold, worth at least 10 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You may read the memory of a single target that you can see within range. You experience the memory in far less time—one hour of memory takes you only one round to experience—but with full intensity. The target experiences the sped-up memory at the same time as you do.

An unwilling target may make a Wisdom saving throw. If the target is deliberately trying to keep that memory a secret or suppress it, it gets advantage on the saving throw.

Casting this spell causes you mental drain. You must make an Intelligence saving throw (DC equals 10 + the target’s Wisdom modifier) or take 2d6 psychic damage.

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (seven drops of water)
• Duration: 6 hours

You create an elusive mirage on the horizon that beckons convincingly but never gets any closer. It occupies no more than a 45° arc, vertically or horizontally, and always appears fuzzy and indistinct.

All creatures who are capable of seeing it when you cast the spell must make a Wisdom saving throw; if they fail, they see the mirage. The creatures do not need to be facing the mirage; a creature that is facing away will still see a flicker in the corner of its eye.

If the mirage depicts something very desirable, anyone failing the first saving throw must make a second one or feel compelled to head towards the vision for the duration of the spell. Creatures who are immune to being charmed cannot be affected by this spell.

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: 6 hours

You affect one target in range that you can see. That target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, it sees everything around it in the worst possible light. Allies look hateful or even become monsters, a beautiful garden appears dying and covered in rot, a tranquil pool looks covered in slime and filled with dead fish.

The target becomes frightened of the most horrific-looking thing for the duration of the spell. If that object is removed from the target’s sight for more than ten minutes, the target will become frightened of something else. The target will also become increasingly paranoid during this time.

An ally of that target may attempt to talk the target out of the delusion, allowing that target to make one Intelligence saving throw to negate the spell.

This spell also can be dispelled through use of the remove curse or dispel magic spell.

4th-level abjuration (labyrinth)

Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Self Components: V, S, M (powdered silver worth 250 gp) Duration: Up to 8 hours

While casting this spell under the light of the moon, you inscribe a glyph that covers a 10-foot-square area on a flat, stationary surface such as a floor or a wall. Once the spell is complete, the glyph is invisible in moonlight but glows with a faint white light in darkness.

Any creature that touches the glyph, except those you designate during the casting of the spell, must make a successful Wisdom saving throw or be drawn into an inescapable maze until the sun rises.

The glyph lasts until the next sunrise, at which time it flares with bright light, and any creature trapped inside returns to the space it last occupied, unharmed. If that space has become occupied or dangerous, the creature appears in the nearest safe unoccupied space.

• Range: Self (30-foot radius)
• Components: V, S, M (three ribbons, one, four, and nine inches long that made from fine silver thread and worth 100 gp each)

Utterly beautiful cosmic music begins playing around you. All creatures within range become so distracted by the music and must make a Wisdom saving throw or be at disadvantage on all attacks against you, and at all attempts to resist any affect that would charm them.

4th-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a copper brooch)
• Duration: 6 hours

You cast this spell on a copper brooch and give it to another creature to wear. As long as that creature is wearing the brooch, you can use your action to see and hear anything that creature is seeing and hearing.

This spell only works if the creature is actively wearing the brooch (it won’t work if the creature merely has the brooch on its person) and is within five miles of you.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a pine needle)
• Duration: Instantaneous

One pine tree, cactus, or other needle- or spine-bearing plant within range releases its needles in a deadly barrage. All creatures within 10 feet (for a plant under ten feet in height) or 30 feet (for a plant over ten feet) must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d12 piercing damage.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell with a slot of 5th level or higher, it inflicts an additional 1d12 piercing damage for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level enchantment (Void)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (ink, chalk, or some other writing medium)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You whisper in Void Speech and touch a weapon. Until the spell ends, the weapon turns black, becomes magical if it wasn’t before, and deals 2d6 necrotic damage (in addition to its normal damage) on a successful hit. A creature that takes necrotic damage from the enchanted weapon can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a crow’s eye)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You amplify the fear that lurks in the heart of all creatures.

Select a target point you can see within the spell’s range.

Every creature within 20 feet of that point becomes frightened until the start of your next turn and must make a successful Wisdom saving throw or become paralyzed. A paralyzed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Creatures immune to being frightened are not affected by night terrors.

4th-level necromancy (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a cloth doll filled with herbs and diamond dust worth 100 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You cast this spell while touching the cloth doll against the intact corpse of a Medium or smaller humanoid that died within the last hour. At the end of the casting, the body reanimates as an undead creature under your control. While the spell lasts, your consciousness resides in the animated body. You can use an action to manipulate the body’s limbs in order to make it move, and you can see and hear through the body’s eyes and ears, but your own body becomes unconscious. The animated body can neither attack nor defend itself. This spell doesn’t change the appearance of the corpse, so further measures might be needed if the body is to be used in a way that involves fooling observers into believing it’s still alive. The spell ends instantly, and your consciousness returns to your body, if either your real body or the animated body takes any damage. You can’t use any of the target’s abilities except for nonmagical movement and darkvision. You don’t have access to its knowledge, proficiencies, or anything else that was held in its now dead mind, and you can’t make it speak.

4th-level enchantment (dragon)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a gold piece)
• Duration: 1 hour

You fill the target with a dragon’s greed for wealth. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be overcome with greed, coveting any coins, jewelry, or art objects it can see that have a value of at least 1 gold piece, as well as jealously guarding any wealth it already owns.

The target fixates on the most valuable-looking item or items, or the largest concentration of valuables in sight.

It will not willingly let the wealth out of its sight. If the target sees an opportunity, it will take the valuables it has fixated on, gaining them by whatever means necessary.

If doing so provokes a situation where it takes damage or is otherwise harmed, the affected creature can make another Wisdom saving throw to end the effect. If the creature fails the save, it will continue to try to acquire the wealth, fighting back if necessary.

Ending the Effect. If the affected creature ends its turn in an area where it cannot see any obviously valuable objects to covet, nor any creatures that might conceivably attempt to take its own property (a horse, for example, would not be considered such a creature), then it can make another Wisdom saving throw. A successful save ends the spell, and the creature recognizes its feelings of greed as magically induced.

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

4th-level transmutation (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a mole’s claw)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A pit 20 feet deep and 20 feet across appears at a point you indicate within range.

This doesn’t work on natural or worked stone. If you cast this spell directly underneath or in front of a creature, that creature may make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid falling. Those who fall in take 2d6 bludgeoning damage from the fall.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

A pit opens under a Huge or smaller creature you can see within range that does not have a flying speed. This pit isn’t a simple hole in the floor or ground, but a passage to an extradimensional space. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall into the pit, which closes over it. At the end of your next turn, a new portal opens 20 feet above where the pit was located, and the creature falls out. It lands prone and takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage.

If the original target makes a successful saving throw, you can use a bonus action on your turn to reopen the pit in any location within range that you can see. The spell ends when a creature has fallen through the pit and taken damage, or when the duration expires.

4th-level necromancy (warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: instantaneous

You point at a creature within range, causing a dark green glow to pass over their body. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw or take 4d10 poison damage and become diseased; suffering disadvantage on all attack and skill checks for the duration as their skin begins to form pustules all over its body. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

If the disease is not removed within 1 hour, the creature must make another Constitution saving throw or die. If a creature dies as the result of this spell, every creature within 10 feet must make a Constitution saving throw or become affected by this spell, as if it was initially cast on them.

Constructs and undead are immune to the spell.

4th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a quill jabbed into your own body) Duration: Instantaneous

When you utter this word of power, one creature within 60 feet of you takes 4d10 force damage. At the start of each of its turns, the creature must make a successful Constitution saving throw or take an extra 4d10 force damage. The effect ends on a successful save.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (any seed)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You make one living creature or plant within range move rapidly in time compared to you. The target becomes one year older. For example, you could cast this spell on a seedling, which causes the plant to sprout from the soil, or you could cast this spell on a newly hatched duckling, causing it to become a full-grown duck. If the target is a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or higher, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw to resist the aging.

It can choose to fail the saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you increase the target’s age by one additional year for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level transmutation (alkemancy)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a nonmagical cloak and a dram of quicksilver worth 10 gp) Duration: 1 hour

You transform an ordinary cloak into a highly reflective, silvery garment. This mantle increases your AC by 2 and grants advantage on saving throws against gaze attacks. In addition, whenever you are struck by a ray such as a ray of enfeeblement, scorching ray, or even disintegrate, roll 1d4. On a result of 4, the cloak deflects the ray, which instead strikes a randomly selected target within 10 feet of you. The cloak deflects only the first ray that strikes it each round; rays after the first affect you as normal.

4th-level abjuration (dragon)

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of the dragon whose lair you are raiding)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

• Attack rolls resulting directly from lair actions are made with disadvantage.
• Saving throws resulting directly from lair actions are made with advantage, and damage done by these lair actions is halved.
• Lair actions occur on an initiative count 10 lower than normal.

The caster has advantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration on this spell.

4th-level transmutation (alkemancy)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

You launch a ray of blazing, polychromatic energy from your fingertips. Make a ranged spell attack against an alchemical item or a trap that uses alchemy to achieve its ends, such as a trap that sprays acid, releases poisonous gas, or triggers an explosion of alchemist’s fire. A hit destroys the alchemical reagents, rendering them harmless. The attack is made against the most suitable object Armor Class.

This spell can also be used against a creature within range that is wholly or partially composed of acidic, poisonous, or alchemical components, such as an alchemical golem or an ochre jelly. In that case, a hit deals 6d6 force damage, and the target must make a successful Constitution saving throw or it deals only half as much damage with its acidic, poisonous, or alchemical attacks for 1 minute. A creature whose damage is halved can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

4th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous

You launch a swirling ray of disruptive energy at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the creature takes 6d8 necrotic damage and its maximum hit points are reduced by an equal amount.

This spell has no effect on constructs or undead.

• Duration: instantaneous

You summon a fiery floor of bubbling lava below your feet.

Each creature other than you in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d10 fire damage and may only move up to half of their movement speed until the end of their next turn. Creatures that are within 5 feet of you must make the Dexterity saving throw with disadvantage. Creatures take half damage and do not lose any movement speed on a successful saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the spell increases by 5 feet for every slot level above 4th.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action

4th-level transmutation (temporal)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

Choose up to four creatures within range. If a target is your ally, it can reroll initiative, keeping whichever of the two results it prefers. If a target is your enemy, it must make a successful Wisdom saving throw or reroll initiative, keeping whichever of the two results you prefer.

Changes to the initiative order go into effect at the start of the next round.

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

• Duration: Instantaneous

All corporeal undead within 30 feet of you that have fewer than 50 hit points must make a Constitution saving throw. An undead takes 5d10 force damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a successful one. If an undead is reduced to 0 hit points, it crumbles into dust.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (the antenna or a scale from a rust monster)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You touch a ferrous metal or alloy and cause it to rust. This inflicts 4d10 acid damage each round to an inanimate object such as an iron wall. Magical metallic objects take half damage.

If you touch either metal armor or a metal shield, it takes a permanent and cumulative 1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to AC 10 or a shield that drops to a +0 bonus is destroyed. If you touch a metal weapon, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative -1 to the damage it deals. If the penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed. Touching metallic weapons and armor in combat requires you to make an attack using your spell attack modifier.

You may use this to attack a metallic creature, such as an iron golem or a gorgon. The creature may make a Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 4d10 acid damage on a failed roll, or half as much damage on a successful one.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (two drops of unholy water and one of your hairs)
• Duration: 1 minute

You create a whip of magical force that is always silent. It has a range of 10 feet and you use your spell attack modifier to strike.

On a hit, it inflicts 2d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier in force damage and 1d8 necromantic damage. If the target is a living creature, it must also make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, you heal a number of hit points equal to the necromantic damage inflicted and the target is wracked by terrible pains. The target is at disadvantage to all rolls on the following round.

4th-level necromancy (ritual)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a silver knife) Duration: Instantaneous

You heal another creature’s wounds by taking them upon yourself or transferring them to another willing creature in range. Roll 4d8. The number rolled is the amount of damage healed by the target and the damage you take, as its wounds close and similar damage appears on your body (or the body of the other willing target of the spell).

4th-level abjuration (cleric, paladin)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S (a holy symbol)
• Duration: up to 1 minute

You invoke a blessing from the god of courage to offer you his protection. As an action on your turn, your body is coated in a white shimmering light, creating bright light for 20 feet and dim light for another 20 for the duration. Additionally, you are granted 35 temporary hit points and any attacks against fiends or devils are done with advantage. The spell ends when the temporary hit points have been used or 1 minute passes, whichever happens first.

4th-level transmutation (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a boat or ship of 10,000 gp value or less)
• Duration: 24 hours

Casting sand ship on a water vessel up to the size of a small sailing ship transforms it into a vessel capable of sailing on sand as easily as water. The vessel still needs a trained crew and relies on wind or oars for propulsion, but it moves at its normal speed across sand instead of water for the duration of the spell. It can sail only over sand, not soil or solid rock. For the duration of the spell, the vessel doesn’t float; it must be beached or resting on the bottom of a body of water (partially drawn up onto a beach, for example) when the spell is cast, or it sinks into the water.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small amount of seaweed and live brine shrimp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

4th-level necromancy (dragon)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of rotten meat)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You summon death and decay to plague your enemies.

For dragons, this act often takes the form of attacking a foe’s armor and scales, as a way of weakening an enemy dragon and leaving it plagued by self-doubt and fear. (This enchantment is useful against any armored creature, not just dragons.)

One creature of your choice within range that has natural armor must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, attacks against that creature’s Armor Class are made with advantage, and the creature can’t regain hit points through any means while the spell remains in effect. An affected creature can end the spell by making a successful Constitution saving throw, which also makes the creature immune to further castings of scale rot for 24 hours.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the number of affected targets increases by one for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level transmutation (dragon)

4th-level divination (temporal)

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when an enemy tries to make a surprise attack against you Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous

You foresee your foe’s strike a split second before it occurs.

When you cast this spell successfully, you also designate a number of your allies that can see or hear you equal to your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Those allies are also not surprised by the attack and can act normally in the first round of combat.

If you would be surprised, you must make a check using your spellcasting ability at the moment your reaction would be triggered. The check DC is equal to the current initiative count. On a failed check, you are surprised and can’t use your reaction to cast this spell until after your next turn. On a successful check, you can use your reaction to cast this spell immediately.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Special
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

You sing a deadly song. This can have one of two different effects:

• You shout the song. It forms a line of solid air aimed at one target within 60 feet. That creature may make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 4d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one.
• You touch a creature, and the song’s vibrations melt the creature’s flesh. You use your spell attack modifier to hit. On a hit, this inflicts 5d10 acid damage.

Although this is a dangerous song, deafness does not protect against it.

4th-level transmutation (illumination)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 200 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a magnifying lens)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell intensifies the light and heat of the sun, so that it burns exposed flesh. You must be able to see the sun when you cast the spell. The searing sunlight affects a cylindrical area 50 feet in radius and 200 feet high, centered on the a point within range. Each creature that starts its turn in that area takes 5d8 fire damage, or half the damage with a successful Constitution saving throw.

A creature that’s shaded by a solid object —such as an awning, a building, or an overhanging boulder— has advantage on the saving throw. On your turn, you can use an action to move the center of the cylinder up to 20 feet along the ground in any direction.

4th-level transmutation (apocalypse)

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A force of destruction gifts you a portion of its power.

Each time you cast this spell, you choose whether to assume the form of the emissary or the form of the envoy for the duration.

Emissary. The blood in your veins shines through your skin, extra eyes open in your flesh, and you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and the ability to hover, though you must stay within 5 feet of the ground.
• You gain truesight out to a range of 60 feet.
• Creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws against your spells and abilities.
• You have advantage on Intelligence– or Wisdom-based attack rolls.

Envoy. Your skin becomes stonelike, bony growths erupt across your body, and you gain the following benefits:

• You ignore difficult terrain for movement purposes.
• You can move through walls and other solid barriers if you succeed on a Strength check you make just before moving up to the barrier. The DC equals 10 + twice the barrier’s thickness in feet.
• You have advantage on Strength– or Dexterity-based attack rolls.
• Your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 slashing damage on a hit.

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a doll)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You choose up to two creatures within range. Each creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature perceives its allies as hostile, shadowy monsters, and it must attack its nearest ally. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

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

4th-level conjuration (shadow)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You can open a temporary portal between two darkened areas, allowing you to move from one such area to another without crossing the intervening space. If you start your turn in an area of dim light or darkness, you can open a portal to another area of dim light or darkness within range and transport yourself to that spot. Doing this uses up your movement for the turn, regardless of the distance traveled. You can use shadow step while prone. Moving in this manner does not draw opportunity attacks.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

You gain the ability to harm a creature by striking at its shadow. The shadow is treated as if it has AC 8 + the creature’s Dexterity modifier.

4th-level necromancy (ritual only)

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a small silver cup filled with the caster’s blood)
• Duration: 12 hours

You fill a small silver cup with your own blood (taking 1d4 piercing damage) while chanting vile curses in the dark.

Once the chant is completed, you consume the blood and swear an oath of vengeance against any who harm you.

If you are reduced to 0 hit points, your oath is invoked; a shadow materializes within 5 feet of you. The shadow attacks the creature that reduced you to 0 hit points, ignoring all other targets, until it or the target is slain, at which point the shadow dissipates into nothing.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, an additional shadow is conjured for each slot level above 4th.

Ritual Focus. If you expend your ritual focus, the spell summons a banshee instead of a shadow. If you also use a higher-level spell slot, additional undead are still shadows.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V
• Duration: 1 minute

One willing creature’s skin is altered to become a chitinous substance that grants AC 16 and provides resistance to piercing attacks from nonmagical weapons.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur and a bead of amber, crystal, or glass)
• Duration: 10 minutes

Arcs of electricity dance over your body for the duration, granting you resistance to lightning damage. You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss it.

In addition, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, arcs of electricity strike your attacker, who takes 2d8 lightning damage.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot cone)
• Components: V, M (a drop of honey, a drop of citric acid, and a small cone made from horn)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You shout, releasing an ear-splitting noise. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 5d10 thunder damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one, and is deafened for 10 minutes. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw.

All objects and structures take double damage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level about 4th.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot radius)
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of ice)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 rounds

You call up a black veil of necrotic energy that devours the living. You draw on the life energy of all living creatures within 30 feet of you that you can see. When you cast the spell, every living creature within 30 feet of you that you can see takes 1 necrotic damage, and all those hit points transfer to you as temporary hit points. The damage and the temporary hit points increase to 2 per creature at the start of your second turn concentrating on the spell, 3 per creature at the start of your third turn, and so on. All living creatures you can see within 30 feet of you at the start of each of your turns are affected. A creature can avoid the effect by moving more than 30 feet away from you or by getting out of your line of sight, but it becomes susceptible again if the necessary conditions are met. The temporary hit points last until the spell ends.

4th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a magnet and a piece of mirror)
• Duration: 24 hours

You touch a corpse that has been dead for no less than 12 hours. For the spell’s duration, you gain proficiency with all skills, tools, and weapons that were known to that creature in life. You use your own proficiency modifier when using the stolen skills.

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (10-foot radius sphere)
• Components: V, S, M (a pound of sand)
• Duration: 3 hours

You draw a square of sand no greater than 20 feet by 20 feet, and tell a story. This spell creates illusions of the creatures and objects in the story, which move and act according to your narration. At the same time, you are covered in shadows—you do not disappear, but your body (although not your voice) seems to fades into the background.

The creatures are slightly translucent and are obviously illusions. They cannot move past the sandy line and are completely insubstantial and silent—you must produce the voices and sound effects. However, you can direct the illusions to appear to interact with living creatures and physical objects, if you wish.

If you stop narrating the story or performing actions (including singing or additional spellcasting) that enhance the story, take a break longer than 15 minutes, or step beyond the boundary of the sandy line, the spell ends.

If you cast a spell such as enthrall while using this spell, the targets are at disadvantage on their saving throws.

• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (the crushed petal of a blue lotus flower and a drop of honey)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You target one sleeping creature within range; you do not have to see the creature for this spell to work, but you do need to know that it’s there. You plant a magical suggestion in that creature’s mind (identical to the type made when you cast suggestion). Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect; likewise, creatures asleep due to magic cannot be affected. You must word the suggestion in such a manner to make it sound reasonable. The creature may make a Wisdom saving throw to resist. If you or an ally are also using the spell dream on the target, the target has disadvantage on the saving throw.

4th-level transmutation (winter)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a handful of snow)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 4 rounds

A ball of snow forms 5 feet away from you and rolls in the direction you point at a speed of 30 feet, growing larger as it moves. To roll the boulder into a creature, you must make a successful ranged spell attack. If the boulder hits, the creature must make a successful Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and take the damage indicated below. Hitting a creature doesn’t stop the snow boulder’s movement or impede its growth, as long as you continue to maintain concentration on the effect. When the spell ends, the boulder stops moving.

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (an ivory cube at least 1 inch square)

At any point during the spell’s duration, you may firmly press one of the cube’s sides and it will release the sound. Each sound can only be called forth once.

You imbue a body of water (or Medium- to Large-sized section of water) with limited sentience and the ability to communicate with you.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

You summon a spectral herd of ponies to drag off a creature that you can see within range. The target must be Large or smaller. If it gets a failure on a Dexterity saving throw, a spectral rope wraps around the target, which falls prone and is restrained. It is immediately pulled 60 feet behind the galloping herd, in a direction of your choosing.

The target also takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage from being dragged across the ground.

While the target is restrained in this way, it is dragged another 60 feet and takes another 3d6 bludgeoning damage at the start of each of your turns. The ponies continue running in the chosen direction for the duration of the spell. Once the direction is chosen, you can’t change it, but the ponies do swerve around impassable obstacles.

They ignore difficult terrain and are immune to damage.

The restrained creature can escape by using its action to make a successful Strength or Dexterity check against your spell DC. The spectral rope can’t be severed.

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

4th-level abjuration (wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: up to 1 minute

You cause a creature you can see within range to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you place a minor hex on them. The next spell they attempt to cast of 3rd level or lower fails and has no effect. When they fail to cast a spell in this manner, you are able to immediately cast it using your reaction instead. Casting a spell in this manner grants you temporary insight into how the spell is cast even if it is not on your available spell list and does not use a spell slot. The spell is not added to your spellbook.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the spell level that you can affect increases by one level for each spell level above 4th.

4th-level evocation (ring)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (an iron ring)
• Duration: Instantaneous

Spinning axes made of luminous force burst out from you to strike all creatures within 10 feet of you. Each of those creatures takes 5d8 force damage, or half the damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. Creatures damaged by this spell that aren’t undead or constructs begin bleeding. A bleeding creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage at the end of each of its turns for 1 minute. A creature can stop the bleeding for itself or another creature by using an action to make a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC or by applying any amount of magical healing.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (mummy dust)
• Duration: Concentration, but see description

You create a quarterstaff of pure necrotic energy that blazes with intense purple light; it appears in your chosen hand. If you let it go, it disappears, though you can evoke it again as a bonus action if you have maintained concentration on the spell.

This staff is an extremely unstable and impermanent magic item; it has 10 charges and does not require attunement. The wielder can use one of three effects:

• By using your action to make a melee attack and expending 1 charge, you can attack with it. On a hit, the target takes 5d10 necrotic damage.
• By expending 2 charges, you can release bolts of necrotic fire against up to 3 targets as ranged attacks for 1d8+4 necrotic damage each.

The staff disappears and the spell ends when all the staff’s charges have been expended or if you stop concentrating on the spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the melee damage increases by 1d10 for every two slot levels above 4th, or you add one additional ranged bolt for every two slot levels above 4th.

You transform 2d6 sticks into either constrictor snakes (Monster Manual, p.320) or poisonous snakes (p.334), with a 50% chance of either. They will fight under your direction.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell with a 7th-level or higher spell slot, the sticks turn into giant constrictor snakes (p.324) or giant poisonous snakes (p.327) instead.

• Duration: Instantaneous

You unleash a burst of superheated steam in a 15-foot radius around you. All other creatures in the area take 5d8 fire damage, or half as much damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw. Nonmagical fires smaller than a bonfire are extinguished, and everything becomes wet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level transmutation (ritual) (druid, ranger)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a handful of sticks)
• `Duration: concentration, up to 1 hour

You transform a bundle of sticks into a swarm of poisonous snakes. The swarm turns back into sticks when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The summoned swarm is friendly to you and your companions. The swarm has its own turn, which immediately follows your own on the initiative order. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to it, the swarm defends itself from hostile creatures, but otherwise takes no actions. The GM has the creatures’ statistics.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of honey)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create a storm of spectral birds, bats, or flying insects in a 15-foot-radius sphere on a point you can see within range. The storm spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. Each creature in the storm when it appears and each a creature that starts its turn in the storm is affected by the storm.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the storm up to 30 feet. As an action on your turn, you can change the storm from one type to another, such as from a storm of bats to a storm of insects.

Bats. The creature takes 4d6 necrotic damage, and its speed is halved while within the storm as the bats cling to it and drain its blood.

Birds. The creature takes 4d6 slashing damage, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls while within the storm as the birds fly in the way of the creature’s attacks.

Insects. The creature takes 4d6 poison damage, and it must make a Constitution saving throw each time it casts a spell while within the storm. On a failed save, the creature fails to cast the spell, losing the action but not the spell slot.

4th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a horseshoe)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You conjure up a multitude of fey spirits that manifest as galloping horses. These horses run in a 10-foot-wide, 60-foot-long line, in a given direction starting from a point within range, trampling all creatures in their path, before vanishing again. Each creature in the line takes 6d10 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. A successful Dexterity saving throw reduces the damage by half, and the creature is not knocked prone.

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small sunstone worth at least 10 gp)

If the creature has the trait Sunlight Sensitivity or Sunlight Hypersensitivity, they must succeed on a second Constitution saving throw or take double damage.

4th-level evocation (temporal)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell destabilizes the flow of time, enabling you to create a vortex of temporal fluctuations that are visible as a spherical distortion with a 10-foot radius, centered on a point within range. Each creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the time vortex. While the spell lasts, a creature that enters the sphere or starts its turn inside the sphere must also succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected. On a successful save, it becomes immune to this casting of the spell.

An affected creature can’t take reactions and rolls a d10 at the start of its turn to determine its behavior for that turn.

You can move the temporal vortex 10 feet each round as a bonus action. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.

4th-level necromancy (fiendish)

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (an ounce of blood, and powdered onyx worth at least 50 gp, both of which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Until dispelled or triggered

You protect a book by writing a curse in it with ink made from the material components of this spell. The writing is typically a couplet or a quatrain that warns of the consequences of disturbing your property. The curse is triggered by an action or actions that you specify (which typically involves someone reading the book without permission, trying to damage the book, or trying to steal it). When the curse is triggered, the creature that did so must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or suffer its effect. You can choose one of the effects described in the bestow curse spell, or you can affect the target in one of the following ways:

• While the target is cursed, it is blinded.
• Beasts are unusually hostile to the target while it is cursed; they gain advantage on attack rolls against the target.
• While cursed, the target is an attractive mark to pickpockets and other thieves, and such individuals will try to steal the target’s valuables when the opportunity presents itself. (Even if in the target’s possession, the cursed book does not count as one of the target’s valuables.)
• A cursed target that either receives magical healing or rolls Hit Dice to recover hit points after a long rest must roll twice and use the lower result.

A remove curse spell ends this effect. You can also stipulate other actions taken by the target that would nullify the curse (returning the book after it is stolen, for example).

4th-level conjuration (dragon)

• Casting Time: 1 round
• Range: Self (60-foot cone)
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of obsidian)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You harness the power of fire contained in ley lines with this spell. You create a 60-foot cone of flame. Creatures in the cone take 6d6 fire damage, or half as much damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. You can then flow along the flames, reappearing anywhere inside the cone’s area. This repositioning doesn’t count as movement and doesn’t trigger opportunity attacks.

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small piece of phosphorus)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A golden radiance spreads out from you, providing bright light up to 30 feet away, and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Any creatures or objects in the area of bright light that are invisible become visible while they are within 30 feet of you. Likewise, any magical disguises or illusions within 30 feet of you become feeble and transparent, their illusory nature obvious. These magical effects return to full potency if they move more than 30 feet away from you, or vice versa.

When a creature that has taken a different form - through spells such as polymorph or shapechange, or from inborn abilities, such as a druid’s wildshape feature - enters the bright light, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be forced to return to its original form.

Likewise, a creature attempting to change shape within the bright light must succeed on a Constitution saving throw in order to do so.

4th-level necromancy (bard, cleric, paladin, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature within your reach fails a death saving throw
• Range: Touch
• Components: V
• Duration: instantaneous

You change an outcome that the cosmic forces have foretold.

As a reaction, you touch a creature that just failed a death saving throw, and allow them to succeed instead. Additionally, any death saving throws the target makes are done with advantage until it is stabilized or dies, whichever happens first.

4th-level conjuration (druid)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (two dead rats and onyx dust worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes)
• Duration: concentration, up to 8 hours

You conjure a huge swarm of rats in any location you can see within range. The swarm dies when it drops to 0 hit points.

The swarm is friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the swarm, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands, the swarm will spend its turn seeking out the nearest source of food. If a swarm is alive after 8 hours, you will lose your control over it and the swarm will disband into an appropriate number of tiny rats.

You can recast the spell before it expires to regain control over the swarm again. The GM has the swarms’ statistics (swarm of rats with 216 hit points).

4th-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

When you cast this spell, your face momentarily becomes that of a demon lord, frightful enough to drive enemies mad. Every foe that’s within 30 feet of you and that can see you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature claws savagely at its eyes, dealing piercing damage to itself equal to 1d6 + the creature’s Strength modifier. The creature is also stunned until the end of its next turn and blinded for 1d4 rounds. A creature that rolls maximum damage against itself (a 6 on the d6) is blinded permanently.

4th-level necromancy (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a sliver of bone or piece of skin from an animated skeleton or zombie)
• Duration: 8 hours

You infuse yourself, and up to four creatures you touch, with necromantic energy, taking on aspects of the undead.

The targets gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition for the duration of the spell, and take on appearances similar to undead versions of themselves.

Undead that encounter a creature under the effect of this spell must make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the undead mistakes the target for another undead creature. Typically this means the undead will ignore the target, especially if it is a less intelligent one such as a skeleton or a zombie, unless it is commanded otherwise. The response of more intelligent undead might depend on the conditions under which the encounter occurs, but if the target’s presence would not be unusual, they too might likely ignore the target unless it acts suspiciously.

4th-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (the gemstone to be enchanted, which must be worth at least 50 gp each), an eyelash, and a tooth from any creature)
• Duration: Until triggered

You enclose a telepathic message in one to five gemstones and set the circumstances under which the message will be revealed.

When a creature holds a vision stone in the criterion is met, the message is transmitted telepathically to that creature. The message can be 50 words long or a one-minute silent vision. All vision stones created with a single casting of this spell must share the same language.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you may create an additional two stones for each slot above 4th level.

4th-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 500 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

You create a mobile shadow that sends you visual information in a way similar to an arcane eye. You can direct it to move along walls and the floor with a speed of 60 feet, and can pass through a crack as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing. You may use your action to change the shadow’s shape.

4th-level conjuration (wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (1 ounce of sealing wax)
• Duration: 1 minute

An oleaginous wax covers the ground, walls and ceiling in a 30-foot radius sphere centered on a point within range and turns it into difficult terrain for the duration. The wax spreads around corners, covering all surfaces within range.

When the wax appears, each creature standing in its area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a melee or ranged attack is made against you
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

You create a tear in the fabric of reality that protects you from an incoming attack by directing it through a second tear close to a creature you can see up within range. The attack plunges into one dimensional tear and out the other one, causing it to be resolved against that creature’s AC. If the attack is successful, the creature takes the appropriate damage. You can even make the attacker hit itself, if you choose.

4th-level abjuration (chaos)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

You surround yourself with the forces of chaos. Wild lights and strange sounds engulf you, making stealth impossible.

While wild shield is active, you can use a reaction to repel a spell of 4th level or lower that targets you or whose area you are within. A repelled spell has no effect on you, but doing this causes the chance of a chaos magic surge as if you had cast a spell, with you considered the caster for any effect of the surge.

Wild shield ends when the duration expires or when it absorbs 4 levels of spells. If you try to repel a spell whose level exceeds the number of levels remaining, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level – the number of levels wild shield can still repel. If the check succeeds, the spell is repelled; if the check fails, the spell has its full effect. The chance of a chaos magic surge exists regardless of whether the spell is repelled.

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

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 hour

One willing creature you touch gains a pair of wings. The creature’s flying speed is double your walking speed, and the creature gains one additional ability, depending on the type of wing:

• Butterfly Wings. These wings grant the bearer the ability to flutter—the bearer moves in an erratic fashion. While in the air, any creature targeting the bearer with a melee or missile weapon attack are at disadvantage to do so.
• Dragon Wings. These wings grant the bearer a wing buffet attack, which can be used as a bonus action. This attack has a reach of 10 feet and inflicts 1d4 + the bearer’s Strength modifier, and that creature must make a Strength saving throw, with a DC equal to 8 + the bearer’s Strength modifier, or fall prone.
• Dragonfly Wings. These wings grant the bearer the ability to hover.
• Eagle Wings. These wings grant the bearer the ability to make a dive attack. If that creature dives at least 30 feet straight towards a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack, the attack deals an additional 1d10 damage to the target.

4th-level conjuration (winter)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Upon casting wintry glide, you can travel via ice or snow without crossing the intervening space. If you are adjacent to a mass of ice or snow, you can enter it by expending 5 feet of movement. By expending another 5 feet of movement, you can immediately exit from that mass at any point - within 500 feet - that’s part of the contiguous mass of ice or snow. When you enter the ice or snow, you instantly know the extent of the material within 500 feet. You must have at least 10 feet of movement available when you cast the spell, or it fails.

If the mass of ice or snow is destroyed while you are transiting it, you must make a successful Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC to avoid taking 4d6 bludgeoning damage and falling prone at the midpoint of a line between your entrance point and your intended exit point.

4th-level conjuration (technomagic)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

This spell instantly transports up to six willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range to the location of a telephone you call. The telephone must be answered (either by a creature or by an answering machine), and it works only over an open line. You arrive adjacent to the device (within 5 feet of it), and any other creatures transported by the spell appear next to you.

4th-level necromancy (sorcerer, warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (tarnished coin from a ghost dragon’s lair)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A ghostly draconic maw superimposes your face when you cast this spell. For the duration, you can use your action to make a melee spell attack against a target within 5 feet. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 piercing damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d8 necrotic damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the necrotic damage increases by 1d8 for each slot above 4th.

4th-level necromancy (warlock, wizard)

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: instantaneous

You create three spectral coils gleaming with green necrotic energy. Make a ranged spell attack against up to three separate targets within range, one for each coil. Each successful attack deals 2d12 necrotic damage and the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn. If the target makes a successful saving throw, it cannot be frightened by this spell for 24 hours.
