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.

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.

As an action, you can concentrate on any number of creatures within 30 feet of you as if you were concentrating on a spell. No target can regain hit points for 1 minute or until you lose concentration on this effect.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all uses of this feature after a long rest.

Up to four chains you can see within 60 feet of you magically sprout razor-edged barbs and animate under your control, provided that the chains aren't being worn or carried.

Level 0 Spells
Death Blade
0-level (Cantrip) Necromancy
You enchant a blade you wield with a slain soul. If you have slain an enemy in the last turn, you can cast this spell as a bonus action. Until the start of your next turn, a bladed weapon you wield gains a +2 bonus on damage rolls. A creature hit by this weapon must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the start of your next turn.
Detect Secrets
0-level (Cantrip) Divination
You grant yourself magical perception that greatly enhances your ability to uncover hidden mysteries. Beginning on your next turn after casting this spell, secrets of all sorts become more discernible to you for the duration. The sudden rush of magical insight grants you an advantage on all Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks made specifically to uncover physically hidden objects, details, or clues.
Minor Illusion
0-level (Cantrip) Illusion
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object - such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest - it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature 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 illusion becomes faint to the creature.
Withstand Heat
0-level (Cantrip) Abjuration
Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longerYou can target up to 6 willing creatures. A creature protected by withstand heat suffers no harm from being in a hot environment. It automatically succeeds on all saving throws made to resist the effects of Extreme Heat weather conditions. The creature’s equipment is likewise protected.
Level 1 Spells
Bane
1-level Enchantment
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
False Life
1-level Necromancy
Bolstering yourself with a necromantic facsimile of life, you gain 1d4 + 4 temporary hit points for the duration.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you gain 5 additional Temporary Hit Points for each slot level above 1st.
Hex
1-level Enchantment
You place a curse on a creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack. Also, choose one ability when you cast the spell. The target has disadvantage on ability checks made with the chosen ability.
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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 8 hours. When you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 24 hours.
Inflict Wounds
1-level Necromancy
Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 necrotic damage.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.
Net of Shadows
1-level Illusion
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.
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
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.
Shadow Spray
1-level Conjuration
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
This spell's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach certain levels: 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).
Transfer Pain
1-level Necromancy
You attempt to syphon the life from a creature you touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 1d8 plus your spellcasting modifier, and a creature within 10 feet of the target regains hit points equal to half of the damage dealt, rounded down.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
Level 2 Spells
Blindness/Deafness
2-level Necromancy
You can blind or deafen a foe. Choose one creature that you can see within range to make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, the target is either blinded or deafened (your choice) for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.
Blood Boiling
2-level Necromancy
Boil the blood in the veins of a creature you can see in range. The target takes 1d6 necrotic damage. For the duration, at the beginning of each of its turns the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d4 necrotic damage and is paralysed until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, the effect ends on the target.
This spell has no effect on creatures without blood or blood flow such as constructs, oozes, or undead.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage that occurs after a failed save increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 2nd.
Cloud of Daggers
2-level Conjuration
You fill the air with spinning daggers in a cube 5 feet on each side, centred on a point you choose within range. A creature takes 4d4 slashing damage when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 2nd.
Darkness
2-level Evocation
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.
Darkvision
2-level Transmutation
You touch a willing creature to grant it the ability to see in the dark. For the duration, that creature has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet.
Heat Metal
2-level Transmutation
Choose a manufactured metal object, such as a metal weapon or a suit of heavy or medium metal armour, that you can see within range. You cause the object to glow red-hot. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 2d8 fire damage when you cast the spell. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage again.
If a creature is holding or wearing the object and takes the damage from it, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn’t drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot above 2nd.
Hold Person
2-level Enchantment
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Bleeding Strike
3-level Necromancy
When another creature strikes you with a melee weapon attack, you use your reaction to cast this spell. Your blood lunges towards that creature, and deals 2d6 piercing damage, then latches on. For the duration, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a success, the spell ends. On a failure, the creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage.
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
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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th or higher, the extra damage inflicted on living creatures increases by 2d6 and damage inflicted on good aligned creatures increases by 1d6 for each two slot levels above 3rd.
Clairvoyance
3-level Divination
You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you (a place you have visited or seen before) or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees). 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
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. The damage type is the same as that of the weapon or ammunition used as a component.
Dark Transport
3-level Necromancy
You briefly turn into a flurry of ravens, a dark mist, or similar foreboding phenomena before reappearing somewhere else in range. You teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, forming a 10 foot wide line behind you. Creatures that you designate in the line must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 3d10 necrotic damage.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
Fear
3-level Illusion
You project a phantasmal image of a creature’s worst fears. Each creature in a 30 foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened for the duration.
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. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.
Feign Death
3-level Necromancy
Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longerYou 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.
Fireball
3-level Evocation
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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Hissing Darkness
3-level Evocation
You launch a hissing ribbon of pure darkness from your hand. Make a ranged spell attack against a creature within range. On a hit, the target takes 7d8 necrotic damage.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you increase the damage it deals by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Hunger of Hadar
3-level Conjuration
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
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.
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
3-level Enchantment
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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher the target takes an additional 1d6 damage for each slot level above 3rd.
Nondetection
3-level Abjuration
For the duration, you hide a target that you touch from divination magic. The target can be a willing creature or a place or an object no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. The target can’t be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.
Pit of Flame
3-level Conjuration
Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longerYou 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.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Psyche Drain

On a hit, the target takes 6d4 psychic damage, and the target of this spell must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you regain hit points equal to one-quarter the amount of psychic damage dealt, rounded up.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 3rd.
Sending
3-level Evocation
You send a short message of twenty-five words or less to a creature with which you are familiar. The creature hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately. The spell enables creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your message.
You can send the message across any distance and even to other planes of existence, but if the target is on a different plane than you, there is a 5 percent chance that the message doesn’t arrive.
Tongues
3-level Divination
This spell grants the creature you touch the ability to understand any spoken language it hears. Moreover, when the target speaks, any creature that knows at least one language and can hear the target understands what it says.
Vampiric Touch

The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon life force from others to heal your wounds. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 necrotic damage, and you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
