Spirit Gateway
Spirit Gateway
Level 5 Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 100 feet
Components: V, S, M (a vial of swirling spirit mist and a shard of a spectral mirror)
Duration: Instantaneous
Description: With a resonant chant and a shattering of the spectral mirror, you tear open the fabric of reality, creating a temporary gateway between the material plane and the spirit realm. A swirling vortex of ethereal energy erupts at the chosen point, shimmering with colors unseen in the mortal world. Choose one of the following effects:
Summon Spectral Legion: From the vortex, surge forth three spectral warriors (treat each as a CR 2 Specter). These warriors serve as your loyal allies for 1 minute, obeying your commands and attacking your enemies with spectral claws and chilling wails. They are immune to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
Bridge of Whispers: The vortex stabilizes into a shimmering bridge of ethereal mist, stretching from your location to a point within range that you can see. This bridge lasts for 1 minute, and any willing creature can use it to instantly teleport from one end to the other, regardless of intervening obstacles. Creatures hostile to you cannot use the bridge.
Echoes of the Departed: The vortex acts as a portal to the memories of the departed. Choose one deceased creature whom you are familiar with. By stepping through the vortex, you enter a spectral realm filled with echoes of their life and memories. You can spend up to 1 minute exploring these echoes, seeking knowledge, guidance, or even closure. You may ask questions and receive cryptic or straightforward answers as you navigate the landscape of their memories. Upon exiting the vortex, you return to the material plane with any insights you have gained.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the number of spectral warriors increases by 1 for each slot level above 5th. Additionally, the bridge of Whispers can be made one-way only, allowing creatures to cross from the material plane to the chosen destination but not back.
Classes: Bard, College of Whispers Bard, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Spirit Shaman (homebrew class), Warlock (Pact of the Chain)
Lore: Whispered only in the deepest lore of spirit mages, Spirit Gateway represents the culmination of one's mastery over the ethereal realm. This spell allows you to summon powerful spirit warriors, build temporary bridges between planes, or even delve into the memories of the deceased, drawing wisdom and power from the beyond. With its vast potential for combat, exploration, and narrative impact, Spirit Gateway is a spell reserved for those who dare to dance on the edge of the unseen world.
Notes:
This spell offers potent battlefield control, exploration options, and narrative-rich experiences. The choice of effect caters to diverse needs, from summoning allies to teleporting across obstacles or peering into the past. The upcasting potential adds more warriors to the legion and creates one-way bridges, adding tactical flexibility. The mystical and lore-rich nature of the spell encourages creative roleplaying, strategic decision-making, and exploration of the spirit realm's depth.
