Phantom Caravan

Phantom Caravan

3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a piece of a wagon wheel and a horse's bridle)
Duration: 1 hour


Phantom Caravan is a conjuration spell that summons ethereal mounts and vehicles from the spectral realm, offering a mode of transportation that is both mystical and ephemeral. This spell is not just a means of travel; it is a summoning of the spirits of journeys past, a weaving of the essence of travel and exploration into a ghostly caravan that treads the line between the physical and the spiritual worlds.


Upon casting, the caster holds the wagon wheel fragment and horse's bridle, which begin to shimmer with an otherworldly light. The air fills with the faint sounds of hooves and wagon wheels, echoes of travels long since completed. From the mist of conjuration, spectral horses and a ghostly wagon materialize, their forms translucent and shimmering, tinged with the aura of a bygone era.


Ethereal Transport: The Phantom Caravan can accommodate up to six medium-sized creatures, including the caster. The spectral horses move with a silent grace, their hooves barely touching the ground as they glide forward. The wagon, though insubstantial, provides a comfortable and stable ride, unaffected by the terrain's roughness or obstacles.


Mechanic: The caravan has a movement speed of 60 feet and can traverse difficult terrain without penalty. Being ethereal, it can pass through small obstacles and is impervious to physical damage. However, it cannot cross large bodies of water or move through solid objects.


Ghostly Stealth: The spectral nature of the caravan grants it a degree of stealth, making it difficult to detect in low light or darkness. The caravan and its passengers gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when attempting to move unnoticed during travel.


At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 30 minutes, and the carrying capacity increases to accommodate one additional medium-sized creature for each slot level above 3rd.
