Ikaia Cultist


Divine Intervention
Divine Intervention

You can call on Ikaia to intervene on your behalf when your need is great.


Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, Ikaia intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell would be appropriate.


If Ikaia intervenes, you can't use this feature again for a long moon. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest.



Subclass Options


Ikaia's Blessing
Ikaia's Blessing

When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your cultist level (minimum of 1).



Gaze of Two Minds
Gaze of Two Minds

You can use your action to touch a willing humanoid and perceive through its senses until the end of your next turn. As long as the creature is on the same place of existence as you, you can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection, extending the duration until the end of your next turn. While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.



Probing Telepathy
Probing Telepathy

If a creature communicates telepathically with you and you can see the creature, you learn the creature's greatest desires.



Leeching Chains
Leeching Chains

You cause mystical chains to magically appear around a target within 30ft of you. It must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or else it will be restrained by mystical chains and take 1d6 necrotic damage, you regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt, rounded up. While trapped, the target must make a Strength saving throw every start of its turn, taking damage again on a failed save and breaking free on a successful one. After being freed, the affected creature cannot be targeted by chains again for 1 hour.


You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence skill modifier. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.



Read Thoughts
Read Thoughts

You can read a creature’s thoughts. You can then use your access to the creature’s mind to command it.


As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw, you can’t use this feature on it again until you finish a long rest.


If the creature fails its save, you can read its surface thoughts (those foremost in its mind, reflecting its current emotions and what it is actively thinking about) when it is within 60 feet of you. This effect lasts for 1 minute.


During that time, you can use your action to end this effect and cast the suggestion spell on the creature without expending a spell slot. The target automatically fails its saving throw against the spell. You must finish a short or long rest to use this ability again.



Instinctive Charm
Instinctive Charm

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to divert the attack, provided that another creature is within the attack’s range. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker must target the creature that is closest to it, not including you or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target. On a successful save, you can’t use this feature on the attacker again until you finish a long rest.


You must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect.



Temporary Masochism
Temporary Masochism

As an action, you can focus your energies on a creature under the charmed condition. For 1 minute, attacking the affected target will not end it's charmed condition.


You must finish a short or long rest to use this ability again.

Cutting Words
Cutting Words

You learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can’t hear you or if it’s immune to being charmed.


You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.



Create Thrall
Create Thrall

You can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then charmed by you until a remove curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.


You can communicate telepathically with the charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence.

spellcasting:

You know three cantrips of your choice from the Ikaia cultists spell list. You learn additional Ikaia cultists cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Ikaia Cultist table.

The Ikaia Cultist table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these cleric spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Ikaia cultists spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd level cleric, you have four 1st level and two 2nd level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st level or 2nd level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Charisma saving throw

Up to three creatures of your choice that you can see within range must make Charisma saving throws. Whenever a target that fails this saving throw makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the attack roll or saving throw.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.

Charm Person

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: charmed

You attempt to charm a humanoid you can see within range. It must make a Wisdom saving throw and does so with advantage if you or your companions are fighting it. If it fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you until the spell ends or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the spell ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

Command

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V
Duration: 1 round
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn’t understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.

Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the GM determines how the target behaves. If the target can’t follow your command, the spell ends.

 
  • Approach. The target moves toward you by the shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it moves within 5 feet of you.
  • Drop. The target drops whatever it is holding and then ends its turn.
  • Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means.
  • Grovel. The target falls prone and then ends its turn.
  • Halt. The target doesn’t move and takes no actions. A flying creature stays aloft, provided that it is able to do so. If it must move to stay aloft, it flies the minimum distance needed to remain in the air.
At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can affect one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

Concealment

1-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour

Creatures must make a Wisdom save to notice a specific, small item magically guised on your person.

An object you touch, smaller than 1 cubic foot, blurs into insignificance. For the duration of this spell, any creature that searches someone concealing that item must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature fails to notice the item, and cannot make an ability check to find it. On a success, the creature is immune to the effect of this cantrip on that item for 24 hours and may make an appropriate ability check to find the item. If the concealed object is threatening or out of place, the creature has advantage on this saving throw.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can affect up to three objects once each, and you can dismiss such any or all of these effects as an action.

Dissonant Whispers

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: psychic

You whisper a discordant melody that only one creature of your choice within range can hear, wracking it with terrible pain. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d6 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn't have to move away. A deafened creature automatically succeeds on the save.

If the target drops to 0 hit points before this spell ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn of yours to curse a new creature.

A remove curse cast on the target ends this spell early.

Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You cast the spell, and the surrounding shadows shift at your command, flying toward your targets and wrapping themselves around them. You target up to three creatures that are no more than 30 feet apart when you cast the spell. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is wrapped in shadows, providing them three quarters cover from all attacks. The shifting magical shadows also inhibit the targets' ability to ascertain their surroundings. The targets can only see 5 feet through the shadows that coat them, and foes within that range have three quarters cover from all attacks made by the targets.

A target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns to attempt to disbelieve the net, ending the effect on a success.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

See Through

1-level Divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Until dispelled

You touch a simple surface such as a door, a wall, or even a shield to see through it as if it was transparent. The target area can vary from 1 to 5 square feet, as chosen when the spell is cast. The surface appears to be non-existent from the side of the caster, yet the other side remains completely normal and solid.

The spell can see through most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

Available for: Ikaia Cultists, Wizards

Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Constitution saving throw
Damage/Effect: restrained

You cause a multitude of ribbon-like shadows to instantaneously explode outward in a 5 foot radius sphere from a point that you choose, restraining nearby creatures. Each creature within the radius must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or be restrained until the end of your next turn. The shadows vanish once they are no longer restraining a given creature.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can increase the radius of the sphere by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.

Silent Image

1-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn’t accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.

You can use your action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Sleep

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 1 minute

This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures).

Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.

Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Spook

1-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: psychic

You play upon the natural fears of a creature you can see within range, causing it to momentarily perceive you as something inimical. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and become frightened of you until the end of its next turn. While frightened of you in this way, it must move at least 5 feet away from you on its turn if it is able. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw becomes immune to the effect of this spell for the next 24 hours.

At higher levels:

This spell's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach certain levels: 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.

If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.

If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage again.

Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: paralyzed

Choose a humanoid that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be paralysed for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on the target.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target on additional humanoid for each slot level above 2nd. The humanoids must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

Pass Without Trace

2-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

A veil of shadows and silence radiates from you, masking you and your com panions from detection. For the duration, each creature you choose within 30 feet of you (including you) has a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can’t be tracked except by magical means. A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.

Phantasmal Force

2-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Intelligence saving throw

You craft an illusion that takes root in the mind of a creature that you can see within range. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you create a phantasmal object, creature, or other visible phenomenon of your choice that is no larger than a 10 foot cube and that is perceivable only to the target for the duration. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and other stimuli, also evident only to the creature.

The target can use its action to examine the phantasm with an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If the check succeeds, the target realizes that the phantasm is an illusion, and the spell ends.

While a target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. The target rationalizes any illogical outcomes from interacting with the phantasm. For example, a target attempting to walk across a phantasmal bridge that spans a chasm falls once it steps onto the bridge. If the target survives the fall, it still believes that the bridge exists and comes up with some other explanation for its fall; it was pushed, it slipped, or a strong wind might have knocked it off.

An affected target is so convinced of the phantasm’s reality that it can even take damage from the illusion. A phantasm created to appear as a creature can attack the target. Similarly, a phantasm created to appear as fire, a pool of acid, or lava can burn the target. Each round on your turn, the phantasm can deal 1d6 psychic damage to the target if it is in the phantasm’s area or within 5 feet of the phantasm, provided that the illusion is of a creature or hazard that could logically deal damage, such as by attacking. The target perceives the damage as a type appropriate to the illusion.

Pulling Shade

2-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Strength saving throw
Damage/Effect: necrotic

You manifest a whirlpool-like, swirling mass of darkness that ensnares and decays your victims. Choose a point on any level ground within range. For the duration, any creature that begins its turn within 40 feet of this point must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled 20 feet closer to its centre. A flying creature has disadvantage on this saving throw.

Any creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the point, or enters it on its turn, must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 3d6 necrotic damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for every two slot levels above 2nd.

Suggestion

2-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 24 hours
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act ends the spell.

The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets. If the condition isn’t met before the spell expires, the activity isn’t performed.

If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.

Level 3 Spells

Bestow Curse

3-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

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, choose the nature of the curse from the following options:

 
  • Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.
  • While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
  • While cursed, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing.
  • While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.
 

A remove curse spell ends this effect. At the DM’s option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The DM has final say on such a curse’s effect.

At higher levels:

If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. If you use 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. If you use a 9th level spell slot, the spell lasts until it is dispelled. Using a spell slot of 5th level or higher grants a duration that doesn’t require concentration.

Range/Area: 10ft
Components: V

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th or higher, increase the piercing damage by 1d6 for every spell slot level above 3rd.

Bonesword

3-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: one bone at least 6 inches long
Duration: 1 action

A bone, held in your free hand, becomes a shortsword, longsword, greatsword, battleaxe, or greataxe. It lasts for the duration and then reverts to a normal bone. If this spell is cast on the same bone within 24 hours, upon the spell's end it will crumble to dust. Anyone may use the sword, and it is a magic weapon. On a hit, it deals an extra 2d6 damage against living creatures and an extra 1d6 damage against good-aligned creatures. The extra damage is of the same type as the weapon's base damage (piercing or slashing).

You may cast this spell on another bone in your other hand (or hands, if it applies) using your bonus action. If using the variant spell points rule, you must use 1 magic point per bone in addition to using your bonus action. All bones will transform back upon the spell's end, and will be destroyed of the spell is used on them again.

The sensor remains in place for the duration, and it can’t be attacked or otherwise interacted with.

When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space. As your action, you can switch between seeing and hearing.

A creature that can see the sensor (such as a creature benefitting from see invisibility or truesight) sees a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.

Conjure Barrage

3-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self (60ft radius)
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Dexterity saving throw

You throw a nonmagical weapon or fire a piece of nonmagical ammunition into the air to create a cone of identical weapons that shoot forward and then disappear. Each creature in a 60 foot cone must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.

You touch a willing creature and put it into a cataleptic state that is indistinguishable from death.

For the spell’s duration, or until you use an action to touch the target and dismiss the spell, the target appears dead to all outward inspection and to spells used to determine the target’s status. The target is blinded and incapacitated, and its speed drops to 0. The target has resistance to all damage except psychic damage. If the target is diseased or poisoned when you cast the spell, or becomes diseased or poisoned while under the spell’s effect, the disease and poison have no effect until the spell ends.

Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Dexterity saving throw

A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

Hunger of Hadar

3-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 150ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You open a gateway to the dark between the stars, a region infested with unknown horrors. A 20 foot radius sphere of blackness and bitter cold appears, centred on a point with range and lasting for the duration. This void is filled with a cacophony of soft whispers and slurping noises that can be heard up to 30 feet away. No light, magical or otherwise, can illuminate the area, and creatures fully within the area are blinded.

The void creates a warp in the fabric of space, and the area is difficult terrain. Any creature that starts its turn in the area takes 2d6 cold damage. Any creature that ends its turn in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 acid damage as milky, otherworldly tentacles rub against it.

Major Image

3-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 120ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create the image of an object, a creature, or som e other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20 foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can’t create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte’s stench).

As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an im age of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell lasts until dispelled, without requiring your concentration.

Mind Pain

A bolt hits a creature in range, and great pain takes over the targets mind. The target must make a Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 6d6 psychic damage and falls prone. If the target succeeds on its saving throw, it takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.

Damage/Effect: bludgeoning, fire

You conjure a 10 foot square pit, 10 feet deep and filled with flames, on ground that you can see within range. Creatures stood on the area of effect must pass a Dexterity saving throw. On a success they can use their reaction to move 5 feet out of the area. If they fail, or are unable to move out of the area, they fall into the pit. Subsequently, creatures shoved or otherwise moved into the area will fall into the pit.

A creature falling into the pit takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage from the fall, and 2d6 fire damage from the flames. A creature starting its turn in the pit takes 2d6 fire damage. Climbing the wall of the pit requires a Strength (Athletics) check of DC equal to your spell save DC.

 
Ritual

When this spell is cast as a ritual, the duration becomes Concentration, up to 1 hour. If an incapacitated or bound creature is placed into a ritual pit of flame, they will hover above the fire without taking damage. Charisma (Intimidation) checks made against this creature have advantage. If the creature subsequently is no longer incapacitated or bound, it can move away from the pit. The ritual pit of flame has no effect on creatures that are resistant or immune to fire damage.

The spell enables creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your message.

As an action, you can move the eye up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the eye can move, but it can’t enter another plane of existence. A solid barrier blocks the eye’s movement, but the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

Creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A target automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can’t be charmed. On a failed save, a target is affected by this spell. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to designate a direction that is horizontal to you. Each affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to move in that direction on its next turn. It can take its action before it moves. After moving in this way, it can make another Wisdom saving to try to end the effect.

A target isn’t compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire or pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated direction.

Confusion

4-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

This spell assaults and twists creatures' minds, spawning delusions and provoking uncontrolled action. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centred 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.

 
  • 1 - The creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face. The creature doesn’t take an action this turn.
  • 2-6 - The creature doesn’t move or take actions this turn.
  • 7-8 - The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.
  • 9-10 - The creature can act and move normally.
 

At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wisdom saving throw. If it succeeds, this effect ends for that target.

Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M

The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target’s movement or attacks.

Greater Invisibility

You or a creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target’s person.

Phantasmal Killer

4-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 120ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: psychic

You tap into the nightmares of a creature you can see within range and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened for the duration. At the start of each of the target’s turns before the spell ends, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.

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 above 4th.

Zone of Silence

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Self (5ft radius sphere)
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour

You manipulate sounds waves in a 5 foot radius sphere centred on yourself to protect against eavesdroppers while allowing those within to converse normally. No sound can pass through the sphere; creatures within are immune to thunder damage from sources originating outside and are effectively deafened to everything not within the sphere, and vice versa. Until the spell ends or you dismiss it as a bonus action, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.

A successful Wisdom (Insight) check to read lips can still reveal what's said on the other side of the sphere.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 4th.

Level 5 Spells

Commune

5-level Divination

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 1 minute

You contact your deity or a divine proxy and ask up to three questions that can be answered with a yes or no. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.

Divine beings aren’t necessarily omniscient, so you might receive “unclear” as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond the deity’s knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, the DM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead.

If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer. The DM makes this roll in secret.

Contact Other Plane

5-level Divination

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Self
Components: V
Duration: 1 minute

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.

On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” “never,” “irrelevant,” or “unclear” (if the entity doesn’t know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.

Dominate Person

5-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: charmed

You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as “Attack that creature,” “Run over there,” or “Fetch that object.” If the creature completes the order and doesn’t receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn’t do anything that you don’t allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.

Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a 6th level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. When you use a 7th level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you use a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

Dream

5-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Special
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 8 hours
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: psychic

This spell shapes a creature’s dreams. Choose a creature known to you as the target of this spell. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don’t sleep, such as elves, can’t be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a m essenger. While in the trance, the messenger is aware of his or her surroundings, but can’t take actions or move.

If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in the target’s dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains asleep, through the duration of the spell. The messenger can also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes, objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early. The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking. If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in the target’s dreams.

You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words and then the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the target’s sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit from that rest. In addition, when the target wakes up, it takes 3d6 psychic damage.

If you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or similar portion of the target’s body, the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage.

Durnash's Flames

In addition, each creature (excluding the initial target) within a 20ft radius of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, targets take 3d6 fire damage or half as much on a successful save. The spell's magic ends on the piece of ammunition when it hits or missed, and the spell ends when eight pieces of ammunition have been drawn from the quiver.

A vertical column of divine fire roars dow n from the heavens in a location you specify. Each creature in a 10 foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centred on a point within range must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d6 fire damage and 4d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the fire damage or the radiant damage (your choice) increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.

Geas

5-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V
Duration: 30 days
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: charmed

You place a magical command on a creature that you can see within range, forcing it to carry out some service or refrain from some action or course of activity as you decide. If the creature can understand you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration. While the creature is charmed by you, it takes 5d10 psychic damage each time it acts in a manner directly counter to your instructions, but no more than once each day. A creature that can't understand you is unaffected by the spell.

You can issue any command you choose, short of an activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal command, the spell ends.

You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss it. A remove curse, greater restoration, or wish spell also ends it.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 1 year. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the spell lasts until it is ended by one of the spells mentioned above.

Mislead

5-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You become invisible at the same time that an illusory double of you appears where you are standing. The double lasts for the duration, but the invisibility ends if you attack or cast a spell.

You can use your action to move your illusory double up to twice your speed and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.

You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were located where it is. On each of your turns as a bonus action, you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again. While you are using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.

Modify Memory

5-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw
Damage/Effect: charmed

You attempt to reshape another creature’s memories. One creature that you can see must make a Wisdom saving throw. If you are fighting the creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the duration. The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and none of the target’s memories are modified.

While this charm lasts, you can affect the target’s memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and exacting detail, change its memory of the details of the event, or create a memory of some other event.

You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and it must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. Its mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description. If the spell ends before you have finished describing the modified memories, the creature’s memory isn’t altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the spell ends.

A modified memory doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The DM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.

A remove curse or greater restoration spell cast on the target restores the creature’s true memory.

At higher levels:

If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can alter the target’s memories of an event that took place up to 7 days ago (6th level), 30 days ago (7th level), 1 year ago (8th level), or any time in the creature’s past (9th level).

Planar Binding

5-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 hour
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Charisma saving throw

With this spell, you attempt to bind a celestial, an elemental, a fey, or a fiend to your service. The creature must be within range for the entire casting of the spell. (Typically, the creature is first summoned into the centre of an inverted magic circle in order to keep it trapped while this spell is cast.) At the completion of the casting, the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it is bound to serve you for the duration. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell’s duration is extended to match the duration of this spell.

A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of its ability. You might command the creature to accompany you on an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to achieve its own objectives. If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of a higher level, the duration increases to 10 days with a 6th level slot, to 30 days with a 7th level slot, to 180 days with an 8th level slot, and to a year and a day with a 9th level spell slot.

Scrying

5-level Divination

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You can see and hear a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, which is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If a target knows you're casting this spell, it can fail the saving throw voluntarily if it wants to be observed.

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

On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you w ere there. The sensor moves with the target, remaining within 10 feet of it for the duration. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb about the size of your fist.

Instead of targeting a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before as the target of this spell. When you do, the sensor appears at that location and doesn’t move.

Telekinesis

5-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You gain the ability to move or manipulate creatures or objects by thought. When you cast the spell, and as your action each round for the duration, you can exert your will on one creature or object that you can see within range, causing the appropriate effect below. You can affect the same target round after round, or choose a new one at any time. If you switch targets, the prior target is no longer affected by the spell.

Creature. You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. Make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by the creature’s Strength check. If you win the contest, you move the creature up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward but not beyond the range of this spell. Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained in your telekinetic grip. A creature lifted upward is suspended in mid-air.

On subsequent rounds, you can use your action to attempt to maintain your telekinetic grip on the creature by repeating the contest.

Object. You can try to move an object that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If the object isn’t being worn or carried, you automatically move it up to 30 feet in any direction, but not beyond the range of this spell.

If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by that creature’s Strength check. If you succeed, you pull the object away from that creature and can move it up to 30 feet in any direction but not beyond the range of this spell.

You can exert fine control on objects with your telekinetic grip, such as manipulating a simple tool, opening a door or a container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents from a vial.

Level 6 Spells

Armour of Flesh

6-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You touch an undead creature at least one size category larger than you and merge into its body for the duration. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Wisdom saving throw is unaffected and can't be targeted again by you for 24 hours. While merged, you assume the game statistics of the target, including its Hit Dice and current hit points, but use your own class features and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the target. You can't use any of the legendary actions or lair actions of the target.

The spell ends if you drop to 0 hit points while merged. When the spell ends, you return to the number of hit points you had before you merged, and you choose to either exit the target and appear in a space within 5 feet or to remain within the target's corpse. While within the target's corpse, you have total cover and are restrained, and can exit as a bonus action.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a 7th level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you use a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

Blade Barrier

6-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades made of magical energy. The wall appears within range and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain.

When a creature enters the wall’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 6d10 slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Available for: Ikaia Cultists

Bloodtap

6-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range/Area: Self
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous

You tap into the latent energy inside every being. You take necrotic damage equal to four times your level. This damage cannot be reduced or negated in any way.

You may cast another spell on the same turn as this spell. Until the end of your turn, any spells cast by you deal maximum damage.

Circle of Death

6-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 150ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Constitution saving throw
Damage/Effect: necrotic

A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60 foot radius sphere from a point within range. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 8d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Contingency

6-level Evocation

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 10 days

Choose a spell of 5th level or lower that you can cast, that has a casting time of 1 action, and that can target you. You cast that spell - called the contingent spell - as part of casting contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn't come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, a contingency cast with water breathing might stipulate that water breathing comes into effect when you are engulfed in water or a similar liquid.

The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then contingency ends.

The contingent spell takes effect only on you, even if it can normally target others. You can use only one contingency spell at a time. If you cast this spell again, the effect of another contingency spell on you ends. Also, contingency ends on you if its material component is ever not on your person.

Drawmij's Instant Summons

6-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Until dispelled

You touch an object weighing 10 pounds or less whose longest dimension is 6 feet or less. The spell leaves an invisible mark on its surface and invisibly inscribes the name of the item on the sapphire you use as the material component. Each time you cast this spell, you must use a different sapphire.

At any time thereafter, you can use your action to speak the item’s name and crush the sapphire. The item instantly appears in your hand regardless of physical or planar distances, and the spell ends.

If another creature is holding or carrying the item, crushing the sapphire doesn’t transport the item to you, but instead you learn who the creature possessing the object is and roughly where that creature is located at that moment.

Dispel magic or a similar effect successfully applied to the sapphire ends this spell’s effect.

Forbiddance

6-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 1 day

You create a ward against magical travel that protects up to 40,000 square feet of floor space to a height of 30 feet above the floor. For the duration, creatures can’t teleport into the area or use portals, such as those created by the gate spell, to enter the area. The spell proofs the area against planar travel, and therefore prevents creatures from accessing the area by way of the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, Feywild, Shadowfell, or the plane shift spell.

In addition, the spell damages types of creatures that you choose when you cast it. Choose one or more of the following: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. When a chosen creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature takes 5d10 radiant or necrotic damage (your choice when you cast this spell).

When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password as it enters the area takes no damage from the spell.

The spell’s area can't overlap with the area of another forbiddance spell. If you cast forbiddance every day for 30 days in the same location, the spell lasts until it is dispelled, and the material components are consumed on the last casting.

Guards and Wards

6-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 24 hours

You create a ward that protects up to 2,500 square feet of floor space (an area 50 feet square, or one hundred 5 foot squares or twenty five 10 foot squares). The warded area can be up to 20 feet tall, and shaped as you desire. You can ward several stories of a stronghold by dividing the area among them, as long as you can walk into each contiguous area while you are casting the spell.

When you cast this spell, you can specify individuals that are unaffected by any or all of the effects that you choose. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects.

Guards and wards creates the following effects within the warded area.

Corridors. Fog fills all the warded corridors, making them heavily obscured. In addition, at each intersection or branching passage offering a choice of direction, there is a 50 percent chance that a creature other than you will believe it is going in the opposite direction from the one it chooses.

Doors. All doors in the warded area are magically locked, as if sealed by an arcane lock spell. In addition, you can cover up to ten doors with an illusion (equivalent to the illusory object function of the minor illusion spell) to make them appear as plain sections of wall.

Stairs. Webs fill all stairs in the warded area from top to bottom, as the web spell. These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while guards and wards lasts.

Other Spell Effect. You can place your choice of one of the magical effects at the end of this description within the warded area of the stronghold.

The whole warded area radiates magic. A dispel magic cast on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect.

You can create a permanently guarded and warded structure by casting this spell there every day for one year.

 

  • Place dancing lights in four corridors. You can designate a simple program that the lights repeat as long as guards and wards lasts.
  • Place magic mouth in two locations.
  • Place stinking cloud in two locations. The vapors appear in the places you designate; they return within 10 minutes if dispersed by wind while guards and wards lasts.
  • Place a constant gust of wind in one corridor or room.
  • Place a suggestion in one location. You select an area of up to 5 feet square, and any creature that enters or passes through the area receives the suggestion mentally.

Mass Suggestion

6-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 24 hours
Attack/Save: Wisdom saving throw

You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence up to twelve creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.

Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a group of soldiers give all their money to the first beggar they meet. If the condition isn’t met before the spell ends, the activity isn’t performed.

If you or any of your companions damage a creature affected by this spell, the spell ends for that creature.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a 7th level spell slot, the duration is 10 days. When you use an 8th level spell slot, the duration is 30 days. When you use a 9th level spell slot, the duration is a year and a day.

Mind Kill

6-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 1 hour
Attack/Save: Intelligence saving throw
Damage/Effect: psychic, incapacitated, confused

This spell scrambles a target's mind. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw, or take 5d12 psychic damage, and become incapacitated for the duration of the spell. Targets also become affected by confusion; re-roll if you get a 6. Up to 10 creatures may be effected at a time. Casting on an 11th target snaps the 1st target back to reality. Undead and constructs are immune to this spell.

Otto's Irresistable Dance

6-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Choose one creature that you can see within range. The target begins a comic dance in place: shuffling, tapping its feet, and capering for the duration. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this spell. A dancing creature must use all its movement to dance without leaving its space and has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and attack rolls. While the target is affected by this spell, other creatures have advantage on attack rolls against it. As an action, a dancing creature makes a Wisdom saving throw to regain control of itself. On a successful save, the spell ends.

Available for: Frejkin, Ikaia Cultists, Wizards

Planar Ally

6-level Conjuration

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: 60ft
Components: V, S

You beseech an otherworldly entity for aid. The being must be known to you: a god, a primordial, a demon prince, or some other being of cosmic power. That entity sends a celestial, an elemental, or a fiend loyal to it to aid you, making the creature appear in an unoccupied space within range. If you know a specific creature’s name, you can speak that name when you cast this spell to request that creature, though you might get a different creature anyway (DM’s choice).

When the creature appears, it is under no compulsion to behave in any particular way. You can ask the creature to perform a service in exchange for payment, but it isn’t obliged to do so. The requested task could range from simple (fly us across the chasm, or help us fight a battle) to complex (spy on our enemies, or protect us during our foray into the dungeon). You must be able to communicate with the creature to bargain for its services.

Payment can take a variety of forms. A celestial might require a sizable donation of gold or magic items to an allied temple, while a fiend might demand a living sacrifice or a gift of treasure. Some creatures might exchange their service for a quest undertaken by you.

As a rule of thumb, a task that can be measured in minutes requires a payment worth 100 gp per minute. A task measured in hours requires 1,000 gp per hour. And a task measured in days (up to 10 days) requires 10,000 gp per day. The DM can adjust these payments based on the circumstances under which you cast the spell. If the task is aligned with the creature’s ethos, the payment might be halved or even waived. Nonhazardous tasks typically require only half the suggested payment, while especially dangerous tasks might require a greater gift. Creatures rarely accept tasks that seem suicidal.

After the creature completes the task, or when the agreed-upon duration of service expires, the creature returns to its home plane after reporting back to you, if appropriate to the task and if possible. If you are unable to agree on a price for the creature’s service, the creature immediately returns to its home plane.

A creature enlisted to join your group counts as a member of it, receiving a full share of experience points awarded.

Word of Recall

6-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 5ft
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You and up to five willing creatures within 5 feet of you instantly teleport to a previously designated sanctuary. You and any creatures that teleport with you appear in the nearest unoccupied space to the spot you designated when you prepared your sanctuary (see below). If you cast this spell without first preparing a sanctuary, the spell has no effect.

You must designate a sanctuary by casting this spell within a location, such as a temple, dedicated to or strongly linked to your deity. If you attempt to cast the spell in this manner in an area that isn’t dedicated to your deity, the spell has no effect.

Level 7 Spells

Delayed Blast Fireball

7-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 150ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: Dexterity saving throw
Damage/Effect: fire

A beam of yellow light flashes from your pointing finger, then condenses to linger at a chosen point within range as a glowing bead for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it, the bead blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame that spreads around corners. Each creature in a 20 foot radius sphere centred on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes fire damage equal to the total accumulated damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The spell’s base damage is 12d6. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage increases by 1d6.

If the glowing bead is touched before the interval has expired, the creature touching it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends immediately, causing the bead to erupt in flame. On a successful save, the creature can throw the bead up to 40 feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the spell ends, and the bead explodes.

The fire damages objects in the area and ignites flammable objects that aren’t being worn or carried.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the base damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 7th.

Forcecage

7-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 100ft
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: 1 hour

An immobile, invisible, cube-shaped prison composed of magical force springs into existence around an area you choose within range. The prison can be a cage or a solid box, as you choose.

A prison in the shape of a cage can be up to 20 feet on a side and is made from 1/2-inch diameter bars spaced 1/2 inch apart.

A prison in the shape of a box can be up to 10 feet on a side, creating a solid barrier that prevents any matter from passing through it and blocking any spells cast into or out from the area.

When you cast the spell, any creature that is completely inside the cage's area is trapped. Creatures only partially within the area, or those too large to fit inside the area, are pushed away from the centre of the area until they are completely outside the area.

A creature inside the cage can’t leave it by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to leave the cage, it must first make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature can use that magic to exit the cage. On a failure, the creature can't exit the cage and wastes the use of the spell or effect. The cage also extends into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel.

This spell can’t be dispelled by dispel magic.

Available for: Ikaia Cultists, Wizards

Plane Shift

7-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: Charisma saving throw

You and up to eight willing creatures who link hands in a circle are transported to a different plane of existence. You can specify a target destination in general terms, such as the City of Brass on the Elemental Plane of Fire or the palace of Dispater on the second level of the Nine Hells, and you appear in or near that destination. If you are trying to reach the City of Brass, for example, you might arrive in its Street of Steel, before its Gate of Ashes, or looking at the city from across the Sea of Fire, at the DM’s discretion.

Alternatively, if you know the sigil sequence of a teleportation circle on another plane of existence, this spell can take you to that circle. If the teleportation circle is too small to hold all the creatures you transported, they appear in the closest unoccupied spaces next to the circle.

You can use this spell to banish an unwilling creature to another plane. Choose a creature within your reach and make a melee spell attack against it. On a hit, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails this save, it is transported to a random location on the plane of existence you specify. A creature so transported must find its own way back to your current plane of existence.

Sequester

7-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Until dispelled

By means of this spell, a willing creature or an object can be hidden away, safe from detection for the duration. When you cast the spell and touch the target, it becomes invisible and can’t be targeted by divination spells or perceived through scrying sensors created by divination spells.

If the target is a creature, it falls into a state of suspended animation. Time ceases to flow for it, and it doesn’t grow older.

You can set a condition for the spell to end early. The condition can be anything you choose, but it must occur or be visible within 1 mile of the target. Examples include “after 1,000 years” or “when the tarrasque awakens.” This spell also ends if the target takes any damage.

Symbol

7-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: tbd
Duration: Until dispelled or triggered

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on a surface (such as a section of floor, a wall, or a table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest). If you choose a surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.

The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to find it.

You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or stepping on the glyph, removing another object covering it, approaching within a certain distance of it, or manipulating the object that holds it. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most com m on triggers are opening the object, approaching within a certain distance of it, or seeing or reading the glyph.

You can further refine the trigger so the spell is activated only under certain circum stances or according to a creature’s physical characteristics (such as height or weight), or physical kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect hags or shapechangers). You can also specify creatures that don’t trigger the glyph, such as those w ho say a certain password.

When you inscribe the glyph, choose one of the options below for its effect. Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a 60 foot radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time the spell ends. Each creature in the sphere when the glyph activates is targeted by its effect, as is a creature that enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

Death. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d10 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save.

Discord. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target bickers and argues with other creatures for 1 minute. During this time, it is incapable of meaningful communication and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Fear. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes frightened for 1 minute on a failed save. While frightened, the target drops whatever it is holding and must move at least 30 feet away from the glyph on each of its turns, if able.

Hopelessness. Each target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target is overwhelmed with despair for 1 minute. During this time, it can’t attack or target any creature with harmful abilities, spells, or other magical effects.

Insanity. Each target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target is driven insane for 1 minute. An insane creature can’t take actions, can't understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speaks only in gibberish. The DM controls its movement, which is erratic.

Pain. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw and becomes incapacitated with excruciating pain for 1 minute on a failed save.

Sleep. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and falls unconscious for 10 minutes on a failed save. A creature awakens if it takes damage or if someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake.

Stunning. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes stunned for 1 minute on a failed save.

Teleport

7-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 10ft
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

This spell instantly transports you and up to eight willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range, or a single object that you can see within range, to a destination you select. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10 foot cube, and it can’t be held or carried by an unwilling creature.

The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully. The DM rolls d100 and consults the table.

 
Familiarity

“Permanent circle” means a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know.

“Associated object” means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard’s library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a lich’s secret tomb.

“Very familiar” is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell.

“Seen casually” is someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren’t very familiar.

“Viewed once” is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic.

“Description” is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else’s description, perhaps from a map.

“False destination” is a place that doesn’t exist. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy’s sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists.

 
Success

“On target” means you and your group (or the target object) appear where you want to.

“Off target” means you and your group (or the target object) appear a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10 x 1d10 percent of the distance that was to be traveled. For example, if you tried to travel 120 miles, landed off target, and rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then you would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. The DM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. If you were teleporting to a coastal city and wound up 18 miles out at sea, you could be in trouble.

“Similar area” means you and your group (or the target object) wind up in a different area that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area. If you are heading for your home laboratory, for example, you might wind up in another wizard’s laboratory or in an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same tools and implements as your laboratory. Generally, you appear in the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, you could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane.

“Mishap” means the spell’s unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. Each teleporting creature (or the target object) takes 3d10 force damage, and the DM rerolls on the table to see where you wind up (multiple mishaps can occur, dealing damage each time).

You create a shadowy door on a flat solid surface that you can see within range. The door is large enough to allow Medium creatures to pass through unhindered. When opened, the door leads to a demiplane that appears to be an empty room 30 feet in each dimension, made of wood or stone. When the spell ends, the door disappears, and any creatures or objects inside the demiplane remain trapped there, as the door also disappears from the other side.

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

You blast the mind of a creature that you can see within range, attempting to shatter its intellect and personality. The target takes 4d6 psychic damage and must make an Intelligence saving throw.

On a failed save, the creature’s Intelligence and Charisma scores become 1. The creature can’t cast spells, activate magic items, understand language, or communicate in any intelligible way. The creature can, however, identify its friends, follow them, and even protect them.

At the end of every 30 days, the creature can repeat its saving throw against this spell. If it succeeds on its saving throw, the spell ends.

The spell can also be ended by greater restoration, heal, or wish.

Glibness

8-level Transmutation

Range/Area: Self

It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

When the cloud appears, each creature in it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 10d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

The cloud moves 10 feet directly away from you in a direction that you choose at the start of each of your turns.

Mind Blank

You create a telepathic link between yourself and a willing creature with which you are familiar. The creature can be anywhere on the same plane of existence as you. The spell ends if you or the target are no longer on the same plane.

Until the spell ends, you and the target can instantaneously share words, images, sounds, and other sensory messages with one another through the link, and the target recognizes you as the creature it is communicating with. The spell enables a creature with an Intelligence score of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your words and take in the scope of any sensory messages you send to it.

Statblocks for your Trinkets, businesses, building, castles, empires.
