Anwyn’s Elysian Palace

9-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S, M

Materials: ash from the central hearth of a site consecrated to Anwyn

Duration: Instantaneous

You and one creature you touch are transported to the great palace of Anwyn on the plane of Elysium. The palace is one of her many homes, though she is rarely present there. There is, however, a 1 percent chance for Anwyn to be in residence. If so, and if you are Anwynian, you might be granted an audience with the god, with the effects of such an audience determined by the GM. In any event, five solars—Atteretix the body servant, Miallira the handmaid, Rigar the door warden, Ayalla the chamberlain, and Yovarra the chef—staff the place. You and your companion arrive in the palace’s atrium. If your companion is hostile, the solars immediately attack.
You can use a bonus action to return to the spot where you cast this spell at any time. Each hour you remain in the palace after 24 hours, you take a permanent and cumulative –1 penalty to your Constitution score. If your Constitution score drops to 0, you die and your soul moves to its proper destination.
Anyone spending 8 hours or longer in the palace enjoys splendid feats and perfect restfulness, conferring the following benefits:

• A creature regains all hit points and Hit Dice. 8 hours in the palace also cures the creature of all diseases, removes all poisons, and lifts all curses other than those bestowed by a god or a being of similar status.
• A dead creature is restored to life as by the true resurrection spell.
• A creature can ask the solars questions that can be answered with a yes or a no as if the creature cast the commune spell. A creature can ask up to twenty questions and has no chance of receiving no answer.
• For 24 hours after leaving the palace, a creature benefits as if under the effect of the bless spell and is immune to the frightened condition.

Once you cast this spell, you cannot cast it again until one year, one month, and one day pass.

Materials: an opaque lens of white glass

A beam of soft light flashes from your hand in a 5-foot wide, 60-foot-long line. Each creature in the line must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature gains one level of exhaustion and must then succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall unconscious until it takes damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeping creature awake. Shapechangers make their saving throws with disadvantage and if they fail, they instantly revert to their original form and cannot assume a different form until the spell ends. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed are immune to this effect. Undead creatures in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
For the duration, a mote of soft light shines from your hand, shedding dim light in a 30-foot radius. This light is moonlight.
