Veil of the Deep

Veil of the Deep

3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a vial of sea water and a scale from a deep-sea fish)
Duration: 1 hour


Veil of the Deep is a spell that summons the enigmatic essence of the ocean's heart, wrapping the caster in a cloak of water that breathes the mysteries of the abyss. This conjuration is not merely a barrier of water; it is a deep communion with the ocean's soul, granting the caster the ability to traverse and embrace the secrets of the deep.


Upon casting, the sea water in the caster's hand swirls and coalesces into a shimmering, fluid aura. The scale from the deep-sea fish merges with this aquatic veil, imbuing it with the essence of the ocean's depths. The caster becomes enshrouded in a translucent sheath of water that moves with them, a living embodiment of the sea's grace and mystery.


Aquatic Adaptation: While cloaked in this spell, the caster gains the ability to breathe underwater and swim with the ease and speed of a native sea creature. Their movements become fluid and unhindered by the water's resistance, allowing them to glide through the ocean with the elegance of a dolphin.


Mechanic: The caster gains a swimming speed equal to their walking speed and can breathe underwater for the spell's duration. Additionally, they gain advantage on saving throws against effects that would hinder their movement in water, such as currents, whirlpools, or entanglements.


Mystical Cloaking: The Veil of the Deep also provides a layer of protection, cloaking the caster in the ocean's elusive nature. While submerged, they gain a measure of concealment, as the water around them bends light to obscure their form from prying eyes.


At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.

The spell symbolizes the harmony between the caster and the vast, unexplored waters, inviting them to explore and embrace the hidden wonders beneath the waves.
