"Nexus Requiem of Forgotten Realms" is a profound and complex spell that weaves the essence of lost and forgotten realms into a tapestry of illusion, altering the perception of reality for those caught within its grasp.

Spell Effects:

Realm Shifting Illusion: Upon casting, you choose a point you can see within range to become the center of a 30-foot-radius sphere. Inside this sphere, reality appears to warp, blending elements of different realms and epochs into a surreal landscape. This illusion is so convincing that it can be perceived by all senses.
Disorienting Terrain: Creatures entering or starting their turn in the area must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, they are disoriented by the shifting realms, suffering disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of their next turn.
Echoes of the Lost: You can shape the illusion to include specific elements of forgotten realms, such as ancient structures, ethereal creatures, or environmental conditions (e.g., fog, winds), which can be used to hinder or confuse enemies. You can also perfectly restore the appearance of ruins or lost structures in the area of the Realm Shifting Illusion ability to make studying and examining them easier for yourself and others.
Ancient Wisdom: While maintaining concentration on this spell, you can tap into the lingering energies of these forgotten realms to gain fleeting insights. Once during the spell’s duration, you can gain advantage on one Intelligence (History) or Intelligence (Arcana) check related to ancient or forgotten knowledge.
Guiding the Ways: While the spell is active, you may cast a spell which travels from another plane to the prime material, and bypass the barrier around the world of Changing Stars that inhibits travel to it from the other planes safely. To use this ability requires a spellcasting Focus material of at least an ounce of dirt, raw ore, or stone from the world of Changing Stars. This ability can be used to better target extraplanar travel the other direction as well from the prime material to another plane, using a similar Focus material from the location on the other plane you wish to travel to. This grants you advantage on any checks made to navigate or target the desired location.

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

"Nexus Requiem of Forgotten Realms" is a spell for those who seek to blur the lines between what is real and what is forgotten, creating a disorienting and mesmerizing landscape that echoes with the remnants of lost worlds.
