Abjuration

Resistance		Buff Cantrip/Orison
Level 0 Abjuration		Domain: Knowledge, Protection
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 hour

You are capable of laying stalwart defenses on those you wish to protect. Designate a defense and touch a creature. The target gains a +1 rank bonus on its next use of that defense. You can only have one instance of this spell active at a time.

Shield (cantrip)		Buff Cantrip
Level 0 Abjuration
Range: 30'

Your watchful eye is more than capable of keeping another safe. You can lay a magical shield upon a creature in range. Until the start of your next turn, the target is immune to magic missle and you are considered to be using the Defend action on them with arcane defense.

Alarm		Utility Ritual
Level 1 Abjuration
Range: 30', 20' Cloud	Duration: Permanent

You place a magical alarm to notify you of trespass. Specify a one-word passphrase. When a corporeal creature the size of a mouse or larger enters the area without speaking this passphrase, you can either be mentally notified of the trespass if you are within 1 mile (and awoken if sleeping) or cause a ringing bell to sound loud enough to be heard 60' away.

Focus: Bell and silver wire Preservative: An engraved set of silver bells and wire worth 1000 gp

Hold Portal		Utility Ritual
Level 1 Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You lay down an arcane lock, making an object impossible to open. Touch a single closeable object such as a door, window, chest, tome, or portal and specify a one-syllable password. The objects locks and cannot be opened normally, unless the password is spoken.

Preservative: 250 gp worth of gold dust, sprinkled on the object

Mage Armor		Buff Ritual
Level 1 Abjuration
Range: Personal	Duration: 1 hour per level

You surround yourself with invisible force armor. Reduce all damage you take by 2. At level 7, instead reduce all damage you take by 3. This damage reduction does not stack with that provided by armor.

Protection from Outsiders		Buff Ritual
Level 1 Abjuration		Domain: Freedom, Light, Protection
Range: Touch	Duration: 10 minutes per level

You lay a ward on a creature to protect it from a type of outsider*. The creature you touch gains a +1 rank bonus on defenses against such creatures. In addition, the target cannot be mentally controlled or possessed by such creatures and conjured or summoned creatures of this type cannot physically interact with the target. You can cast this spell using concentration. If you do, or if you cast it using a spell point or spell slot, it grants advantage on defenses rather than a rank bonus. *When you prepare or spontaneously cast this spell, select an outsider type. The spell's name changes to match this selection.

Shield		Buff Ritual
Level 1 Abjuration
Range: Personal	Duration: 1 hour per level

You draw into a being an invisible arcane shield to protect you. Magic missile spells targeting you are negated. Additionally, you become Adept at parrying melee and ranged attacks and block an additional attack on a limited or better success when defending against multiple attacks. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter increase the rank this spell grants by 1.

Elemental Trap		Damage Ritual
Level 2 Abjuration	(element) vs. Dexterity	Domain: Air, Earth, Fire, Water
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You lay down a trap of this spell's type*. Touch a closeable object such as a door, chest, or book, and specify a password of up to three syllables. If the target is opened without speaking the passphrase, the trap is triggered. Creatures within 5' of the target must resist or suffer 1d4 + 1 damage of the spell's type per level. Creatures hit with limited success suffer half damage. The item is not harmed by this eruption. This spell ends after it is triggered unless you have made it permanent by means of a preservative, in which case you can reset it after an hour has passed with a touch.

Arcane Component: A bit of sulpher or saltpeter. Preservative: 25 gp of gold dust per imbued level times the imbued level

Protection from Normal Missiles		Buff Ritual
Level 2 Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: 10 minutes per level

Your touch wards off ranged attacks. The target gains immunity to non-magical ranged weapon attacks. Once this spell has absorbed 10 hit points per level of such damage, this effect ends.

Arcane Component: A piece of tortoise or turtle shell.

Resist Elements		Buff Ritual
Level 2 Abjuration		Domain: Air, Earth, Fire, Protection, Water
Range: Touch	Duration: 10 minutes per level

Your touch wards off harmful elements. Touch a creature. It gains resistance to damage of the spell's type*. *When preparing or spontaneously casting this spell, select acid, cold, fire, or lightning. The spell's name changes to match this selection.

Dispel Magic		Utility Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration	Abjuration vs. Charisma	Domain: Freedom, Knowledge
Range: 100'	Duration: 1 round per level

You tear apart magic forces. Select a creature, object, magical effect, or 30' sphere you can see within range. Magic of a spell level equal to or lower than the number of odd levels you possess on or within the target is dispelled. In addition, you can attempt to dispel higher-level effects, in order of lowest level first. On a critical success, a higher-level spell is dispelled. On a major, it is suppressed. On a normal, it is suppressed for one round. On a failure, you cannot attempt to dispel any additional effects. If you target a specific magical effect of a higher level than you can automatically dispel, you have advantage on this attempt. Conjured or summoned creatures dispelled by this spell are returned to their place of origin, or rendered out of phase (unable to act, be affected, or have an effect) if suppressed. Permanent magical effects, such as a magic weapon, cannot be dispelled by this spell. If they would be dispelled, they are instead suppressed for 24 hours. If you cast this spell using a spell point or spell slot, you have reliability on its attempts. If you prepare this spell or are capable of spontaneously casting it, when you see a creature within range cast a spell, you can immediately cast this spell to attempt to counter it. This spell is always effective in some measure. Even if you fail all attempts and no magic would be suppressed or dispelled by this spell, the lowest-level magical effect it targets is suppressed for one round.

Explosive Runes		Damage Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration	Force vs. Dexterity
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You place a violent trap within a message. Touch small runes you have permanently etched on an object by means of ink, engraving, or the like, and specify a password of up to three syllables. The target becomes only readable from within 5'. If the target is read without uttering the password, the runes explode, dealing 6d6 force damage to the object they were etched upon and all creatures and objects within 10'. A creature that did not trigger this effect can attempt to resist this damage. After this spell is triggered, it ends.

Arcane Component: Small runes written clearly on a surface. Preservative: 500 gp of silver powder sprinkled over the target

Magic Circle		Buff Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration		Domain: Astral, Freedom, Nature, Protection
Range: Touch, 20' Sphere	Duration: (varies)

You wrap someone in a sphere of magic. Touch a willing creature and invoke a spell you can cast of a level lower than this spell's, or a level lower than your number of odd levels if you cast this spell as a ritual. This invoked spell must also have a duration, a range of touch, and target a willing creature. In addition, if you cast this spell as a ritual, the invoked spell must be a ritual. The invoked spell affects the target, the space around it in a 20' sphere, and creatures in that area when the spell is cast. Thus, a protection from undead spell would prevent a summoned undead creature from both interacting with creatures in the are and the area itself. If the invoked spell's effects are constrained by usage, such as protection from normal missile's maximum damage negation, that constraint is shared amongst affected creatures. A creature who leaves the area and later returns regains this spell's benefits, but creatures who enter the area after the spell is cast do not. This spell uses the invoked spell's duration, including concentration requirements.

Divine & Arcane component: Runes of powdered silver drawn through the air

Nondetection		Scrying Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration		Domain: Freedom, Protection, Trickery
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 hour per level or 24 hours

You lay a ward against detection. Touch an object or creature. It becomes untargetable by detection and location spells, as well as any other form of scrying. You can extend the duration of this spell to 24 hours by sprinkling 50 gp of diamond dust over the target.

Protection from Elements		Buff Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration	(varies)	Domain: Air, Earth, Fire, Protection, Water
Range: Touch	Duration: 10 minutes per level

You lay down a powerful ward of elemental protection. Touch a creature. It gains immunity to damage of the spell's type*. Once this spell has absorbed 10 hit points per level of such damage, this effect ends. *When preparing or spontaneously casting this spell, select acid, cold, fire, or lightning. The spell's name and type changes to match this selection.

Remove Curse		Healing Ritual
Level 3 Abjuration		Domain: Freedom, Justice
Range: Touch

At your command, curses unravel. Touch a cursed creature. You remove the lowest level curse afflicting it. If you cast this spell using spell points or a spell slot, you remove all curses afflicting it.

Dimensional Anchor		Control Ritual
Level 4 Abjuration		Domain: Astral
Range: 100' Ray	Duration: Special

You abjure forth a lash that binds. Select a creature or object you can see within range and choose to bind it to your plane or rip it back to its native one. A green ray shoots from your hand and envelops the target in a shimmering emerald field. This ray can only miss on a critical failure. Otherwise, its effect varies based on your success level. If you bind the target to your plane, the target cannot teleport, become ethereal or astral, change planes, or perform any other form of extradimensional movement. This effect lasts 1 hour per level on a critical success, 1 hour or a major, 10 minutes on a normal, 1 minute on a limited, and until the end of your next turn on a failure. If you rip the target back to its native plane with this spell, it is also barred from returning to your plane for 1 day on a critical success, 1 hour on a major, or 10 minutes on a normal. On a limited success or failure, the target is temporarily sent to its native plane until the end of its next turn. On a failure, it can end this effect by spending an attack.

Globe of Invulnerability		Buff Spell
Level 4+ Abjuration
Range: Personal, 20' Sphere	Duration: Concentration

You surround yourself in a faintly shimmering sphere of magical invulnerability. No magic of 3rd level or lower can function within the area. Spells and spell-like effects negated by this spell can pass through the area in any direction but no effect occurs inside inside it. Thus, a lightning bolt might strike one side of the shield and continue off away on the other, but no lightning would occur within. Any existing spells are suppressed within the sphere, as are magical items and abilities of effected levels. The globe can only be dispelled by a spell of high enough level to function within its area. When cast at spell level 6, this spell prevents magic up to 4th level. At spell level 8, it prevents magic up to 5th level.

Arcane Component: A glass or crystal bead

Stoneskin		Buff Spell
Level 4 Abjuration		Domain: Earth, Protection
Range: Touch	Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You make skin turn tough as impenetrable stone. Touch a creature. It gains immunity to slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage. If the target is hit by an attack that would deal slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage of 7 or more, they make a luck check. If the result is unlucky or if the attack was made by a weapon of +3 or greater enchantment, after absorbing the attack the effect ends.

Arcane & Divine Component: 100 gp worth of diamond dust, sprinkled over the target

Attraction/Avoidance		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Abjuration	Abjuration vs. Push/Pull
Range: 30', 20' Sphere	Duration: Permanent

You ensorcell something with powerful magnetism. Touch an object of up to 1 cubic foot per odd level in volume, choose attraction or avoidance, specify a password of up to nine syllables, and choose a trigger. A trigger can be creatures other than you who do not speak the password, objects of specific types (such as weapons, gems, or signet rings of the house of Thuja), or something similar. A trigger that enters the area is drawn to the target if you choose attraction, or repulsed out of the area if you choose avoidance. If your target is complex, you can specify how this spell's effect occurs. In example, if the target is a doorway you can triggers to be pulled through it and if the target is a sword you can cause it to be drawn into triggers point-first. If the target is not rooted in place, whether it is drawn to or repulsed from the trigger or whether the trigger is drawn to or repulsed from it is determined by mass, with the lesser mass being drawn to or repulsed from the greater. In the case of a trigger and target of equal mass, they are drawn to or repulsed from each other equally. You can choose to reduce or exclude regions from this spell's area. This spell's area is linked to the target, so if the target moves, the area moves with it. A creature grasping a trigger can avoid this spell's effect by speaking the password (if you so allow) or successfully resisting it, though a creature suffers disadvantage on such an attempt to resist this spell if it is only holding the trigger in one hand. Creatures being pulled or pushed into peril by this spell, such as off a cliff or into a spiked wall, can attempt to resist the effect, though if they are successful they still suffer half damage from a damaging effect or are left prone at the edge by a peril such as a cliff. A trigger that is pulled into the target or pushed out of the area can escape this effect through successfully resisting it (either by itself or with the aid of another), though moving the trigger through the area is treated as difficult terrain and this spell must be resisted for every 5' travelled.

Arcane Component: A magnetized needle Preservative: 2000 gp worth of powdered diamond and iron dust

Break Enchantment		Healing Ritual
Level 5+ Abjuration		Domain: Freedom
Range: 30'

You sever all things magical and supernatural. Select a willing creature or unattended object that you can see within range. Spells, curses, transmutations, and other magical or supernatural effects on the target of this spell's level or lower are ended, or if the target is a +2 magic item or lower, it is disenchanted. In addition, you can attempt to end higher-level effects on the target, in order of lowest level first. On a critical success, a higher-level effect is dispelled or a +3 or better magic item has its enchantment suppressed for 24 hours. On a major, a higher level effect is suppressed for 10 minutes. On a normal, it is suppressed for one round. On a failure, you cannot attempt to dispel any additional effects. If you cast this spell using spell points or a spell slot, you can target one creature or object per spell level, whether or not they are willing or unattended. This spell is always effective in some measure. Even if you fail all attempts and no magic would be suppressed or dispelled by this spell, the lowest-level magical effect it targets is suppressed for one round.

Private Sanctum		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Abjuration
Range: 10' per level	Duration: Permanent

You lay down a powerful ward against magic. Select an area such as a privy, room, or inn within range and specify a passphrase of up to 9 words. The area blocks all detection, scrying, teleportation, planar travel. In addition, the area's perimeter prevents sound, vision, and scent from passing, with creatures only seeing a black fog without or within. A creature can speak this spell's passphrase to bypass any or all of these effect.

Arcane Component: A thin sheet of lead, a piece of opaque glass, a wad of cotton or cloth, and powdered chrysolite Preservative: Powdered chrysolite worth 500 gp plus 10 gp per 10 square feet affected

Conjuration

Acid Orb		Damage Cantrip
Level 0 Conjuration	Acid
Range: 30' Ray

Your vitriol singes your foes and those who stand too near. You can hurl an orb of acid, dealing 2d3 acid damage on a hit. On a major success, creatures adjacent to the target also take 1d3 acid damage. This splash damage does not benefit from bonus damage, but still stings nonetheless.

Mage Hand		Utility Cantrip
Level 0 Conjuration
Range: 30'	Duration: 1 minute or Concentration

You have mastered the ability to manipulate objects from afar. You can conjure a spectral floating hand within range that is capable of lifting up to 10 lbs. As part of casting this cantrip, and on your turn as an attack action, you can use this hand to perform simple actions you would be able to perform with a physical hand. If you cast this cantrip while you have another instance of it active, the second instance requires concentration.

Find Familiar		Utility Ritual
Level 1 Conjuration
Range: 1 mile per level	Duration: Permanent

You summon a tiny or smaller animal within range to act as your aide and companion. If you have a specific creature in mind, you can ensure this spell selects it by touching the creature at the end of its casting. Otherwise, the animal type is determined by a roll of d20:

Roll	Animal	Bonus Skill	Leveled Benefit
1-2	Arachnid*	Climb	+5' Speed
3-6	Canine	Survival	Familiar can cast alarm 1/day
7-10	Feline	Stealth	+1 rank bonus to initiative
11-14	Bird	Perception	Familiar can cast feather fall 1/day
15-18	Rodent	Deceive	No 1/2 damage on major successes with Dexterity defense
19-20	Snake**	Swim	Regain 1 HP on spell cast

* or insect ** or amphibian/reptile The target's Intelligence increases to 2 while under the effects of this spell, allowing it to understand basic commands, which you can communicate telepathically. Additionally, while your familiar is in range, you gain the skill it grants (listed above, after its type). Your familiar acts on your turn, though it cannot make attacks. While you can see your familiar, you can use your Arcane Defense to make defense attempts for it. If it is hit by a targeted attack, it is slain. However, it is not considered a combatant (ally or enemy) in normal circumstances. The first time you gain a level with your familiar, you gain its specific benefit (listed above, after its granted skill) and the ability to deliver touch spells through it. The second time you gain a level with your familiar, its Intelligence increases to 3, allowing it to communicate with you in a rudimentary fashion through your telepathic link. You can gain both these benefits immediately by burning 1000 gp of incense, herbs, and fat during the casting this spell. This spell takes 2d12 hours to cast. The familiar does not age while under its effects. This spell ends when your familiar dies or when you release it from service. If you recast this spell on your former familiar, you regain any previous benefits.

Arcane Component: Charcoal, burned in a brass brazier Preservative: A boon

Grease		Control Spell
Level 1 Conjuration	Arcane vs. Trip
Range: 100', 20' Cloud or 1 item	Duration: 1 minute

You conjure a type of grease you desire to coat an item or surface. If used on a surface, creatures in the area who do not resist fall prone. Thereafter, when a creature attempts to move or stand up in the area, they must resist or lose their movement and fall prone. In addition, creatures that enter the area must resist or slide to the opposite side of the area and fall prone. If used on an item, if a creature is bearing the item, they must resist or drop it. Thereafter, any creature attempting to pick up the item or use it must resist or drop the item and waste the action.

Mount		Movement Ritual
Level 1 Conjuration
Range: 10'	Duration: Concentration, up to 2 hours + 1 hour per level

You conjure a creature to act as a mount. A conjuration resembling a light horse, pony, or equivalent steed outfitted with appropriate riding gear appears in adjacent unoccupied squares within range. A creature riding it can spend a move to direct it to move. It has a speed of 40', is spooked by the sight of battle, and is dispelled if it is attacked or takes damage. If you cast this spell using a spell point or spell slot, it does not require concentration.

Obscuring Mist		Control Ritual
Level 1 Conjuration		Domain: Air, Trickery, Water
Range: 0', 40' Cloud	Duration: 1 minute

A dense mist pours from you, filling the area and making vision difficult. Creatures and objects in the area are concealed from other creatures and objects and creatures or objects with 20' or more of cloud between them are totally concealed from each other. In strong winds, at the end of each of your turns, make a luck roll. If the result is unlucky, the mist is dispersed. In very strong winds, it is automatically dispersed at the end of your next turn. If you prepare this spell or cast it spontaneously, you can cast it at any time with only an utterance.

Summon Monster		Hybrid Spell
Level 1+ Conjuration		Domain: Astral, Nature
Range: 30'	Duration: Concentration

You summon beasts to fight at your side. Specify a creature or group of creatures whose total cost does not exeed 1 conjuration point (CP) per spell level. They appear in unoccupied squares of your choice within range. Immediately, and once per turn as part of your subsequent turns, you can direct creatures in range you conjured with this spell to take a movement at a speed of 30 and an action, using this spell's rank for attempts. If you do not direct a creature you conjured with this spell on your turn, it carries out its previous command or defends itself. If a conjured creature is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, or the spell ends, it dissolves away. Creatures conjured by this spell are usually animal-like in appearance and possess a 2 intelligence. Their size determines their CP cost, along with any modifications.

CP	Size	Hit Points	Damage
1/4	Diminutive	1*	-
1/3	Tiny	2*	1*
1/2	Small	2	1
1	Medium	2d4	1d6

Acid Arrow		Damage Spell
Level 2+ Conjuration	Acid
Range: 300' Ray

With a flick of your wrist, you fire a magical arrow of acid. A creature it hits with limited or better success takes 2d4 acid damage per spell level.

Arcane Component: Powdered rhubarb leaf and an adder's stomach. Focus: A dart.

Fog Cloud		Control Ritual
Level 2 Conjuration		Domain: Air, Water
Range: 100', 10' per level Cloud	Duration: Concentration or 10 minutes per level

A bank of thick fog billows out at your command. The area obscures all sight beyond 5 feet. Creatures and objects in the area are concealed from other creatures and objects and creatures or objects with 5' or more of cloud between them are totally concealed from each other. In strong winds, make a luck roll each turn to see if this spell ends. In very strong winds, it automatically at the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell using a spell point or spell slot, it does not require concentration.

Glitterdust		Control Spell
Level 2 Conjuration	Radiant vs. Dexterity
Range: 100', 20' Sphere	Duration: Concentration + 1d4 rounds

You fling out an explosion of shining glitter. Creatures in the area that do not resist are blinded until the end of your next turn. In addition, all creatures and objects in the area, including invisible ones, are outlined in glitter, making concealment impossible and rendering spells or properties that provide visual confusion, such as blur, ineffective.

Arcane Component: Ground mica

Summon Swarm		Hybrid Spell
Level 2+ Conjuration		Domain: Nature
Range: 30'	Duration: Concentration + 2 rounds

A swarm of viscous vermin coalesces at your command. Select a creature or space you can see within range. The target or creatures in that space takes 3d4 + 3 piercing damage at the start of their next turn. A creature can spend an attack to fight off this swarm. If it does so, it takes only 1 point of damage piercing damage at the start of its next turn. Otherwise, it takes the spell's normal damage at the start of its next turn. You must spend an attack on your turn to maintain concentration on this spell. The swarm this spell summons is made up of natural creatures such as rats, bats, spiders, or insects, which can be dispersed by effects that would disperse such creatures. At each spell level above 2nd, you can target an additional creature with this spell.

Arcane Component: A square of red cloth

Web		Control Spell
Level 2 Conjuration	Conjuration vs. Grapple
Range: 100', 30' Sphere	Duration: 1 hour

You unleash an explosion of sticky webbing. Creatures in the area who do not resist are grappled by the webs. In addition, the area becomes difficult terrain and for every 5' a creature travels, it must resist this spell or be grappled again. The web also negates projectile attacks. Creatures within it have concealment from adjacent creatures and total concealment from non-adjacent creatures, and vice versa. A creature can use an attack action to destroy an area of webbing equal to its size. If there is no solid mass for the webbing to cling to (such as walls, a ceiling, etc.), it collapses to the ground in a 5' high pile. The web is flammable as well and if ignited, it will burn away in one round, dealing 2d4 fire damage to creatures within it. Spiders and creatures under the effect of a spider climb spell cannot be grappled by this spell and can climb over and move through the area freely.

Arcane Component: A bit of spider web

Flame Arrow		Damage Ritual
Level 3+ Conjuration	Fire vs. Dexterity
Range: 100' Ray or Touch	Duration: Permanent (ritual)

You light arrows in magical flame or conjure flaming arrows into your foes. When you cast this spell with spell points or a spell slot, one flaming arrow per spell level shoots from your hands. A creature struck by it takes 2d6 piercing and fire damage. When you cast this spell as a ritual, touch up to 2 pieces of ammunition per level. The targets begin to smolder, and burst into flames when fired, dealing an extra 1d6 fire damage to targets they hit and igniting flamable objects or structures.

Phantom Steed		Movement Ritual
Level 3 Conjuration
Range: 5'	Duration: 1 hour per level

You call forth a shadowy mount. Select two adjacent unoccupied squares within range. A quasi-real, horse-like creature fitted with what seems to be a saddle, bit, and bridle appears there. It has a speed of 10' per level, uses your rank in this spell for attempts, and moves without sound. It can only be ridden by the creature you specify and only takes move actions when its rider, while mounted, spends a move action to direct it to do so. If it is struck by an attack, make a luck check. On an unlucky result, this spell ends. If you cast this spell at 8th level or higher, the steed ignores difficult terrain. At 10th level, the steed treats liquids as if they were firm ground. At 12th level, it can ride across gaps or chasms as if they were ground, up to a distance equal its speed. At 14th level, it can gains a fly speed equal to its speed.

Sepia Snake Sigil		Control Ritual
Level 3 Conjuration	Force vs. Dexterity
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You lay a powerful trap on a written work. Touch a section of writing to place a small sigil there. When the sigil is read without speaking a password you specify of up to five syllables, a sepia snake springs forth and attacks the nearest creature to the target other than you. If the snake's target does not resist, it is engulfed in an immobile, impenetrable shimmering amber field of force for 1d4 days + 1 per level. While within this field, the victim is in stasis and time does not pass for them. If the snake's target resists, the snake disappears in a flash of brown light and a clap of loud noise, leaving its target dazed until the end of its next turn. This spell ends after it is triggered, unless it has been preserved by a preservative, in which case you can reset it with a touch or allow it to reset naturally after 1 hour.

Arcane Component: Powdered amber, a snake's scale, and a pinch of mushroom spores Preservative: 500 gp of powdered amber, sprinkled on the symbol

Stinking Cloud		Control Spell
Level 3 Conjuration	Poison vs. Constitution
Range: 30', 40' Cloud	Duration: 3 rounds or Concentration

You unleash a billowing mass of nauseating vapors. Creatures in the area and those who end their turn in the area must resist or be nauseated while int the cloud and for 1d4 + 1 turns after leaving. Nauseated creatures lose concentration and can only take a single move action per turn. A naseated creature that has left the cloud can expend an attack to attempt to end this effect. Beyond the nauseating effect, the area obscures all sight beyond 5 feet. Creatures and objects in the area are concealed from other creatures and objects and creatures or objects with 5' or more of cloud between them are totally concealed from each other. In strong winds, make a luck roll each turn to see if the spell is dispersed. Very strong winds disperse the cloud at the end of your next turn.

Arcane Component: A rotten egg or skunk cabbage leaves

Black Tentacles		Hybrid Spell
Level 4 Conjuration	Conjuration vs. Grapple
Range: 100', 40' Sphere	Duration: Concentration

You summon viscious tentacles to crush your foes. The area becomes difficult terrain and creatures that enter the area or start their turn there must resist or take 3d4 bludgeoning damage and be grappled. Large and larger creatures in the area must resist one additional tentacle attack per size category above medium. A creatured that starts its turn in the area grappled by a tentacle automatically takes the tentacle attack's damage again. Grappled creatures can spend an attack to attempt to escape.

Arcane Component: A piece of giant octopus or giant squid tentacle

Creation		Utility Ritual
Level 4 Conjuration
Range: 30'	Duration: 1 hour per level or Concentration

You create something from nothing. Specify a non-magical object of mineral, metal, or nonliving vegetable matter of up to 1 cubic foot per level, such as a ladder, linen clothes, hemp rope, marble bust, or iron rod. It appears in an unoccupied space in range. To create a complex item such as a sword or lock you must succeed at a conjuration attempt. If you create a metal or mineral item with this spell, the duration is reduced to 1 minute per level or concentration. Using an object created by this spell as a spell component causes the spell to fail.

Arcane Component: A tiny piece of matter of the same type you plan to create

Dimension Door		Movement Spell
Level 4+ Conjuration
Range: 400'

You open a portal to another place. Select an unoccupied space you can see in range or specify any direction and distance within range and step through the portal. You appear instantaneously from an identical portal at the target location. You can bring objects you can carry through this portal, along with one adjacent, willing creature of your size or smaller. If your destination is a place already occupied by an object or creature, you and any creature traveling with you are shunted to the nearest unoccupied spaces within range, taking 1d6 force damage per each 100' increment you are shunted. For each spell level above 4, this spell allows you to bring an additional creature with you.

Secure Shelter		Utility Ritual
Level 4 Conjuration
Range: 60'	Duration: Permanent

You conjure a handsome place of repast. Specify a passphrase of up to seven words and select an unoccupied 20' by 20' by 20' surface in the area. A cottage made of material common to the terrain appears there. The interior of this cottage is level, clean, and dry, and boasts a sturdy door, two shuttered windows, and a small fireplace. Regardless of composition, the building is treated as a stone building for purpose of fire and breaching. In addition, all entrances can be under the influence of hold portal and alarm spells and an unseen servant provides service to guests within the shelter. Each of these additional spell effects can be commanded or bypassed by creatures who speak the passphrase you specify. Finally, simple furnishings of eight bunks, eight stools, a trestle table, and a writing desk round out the accomodations.

Arcane Component: A square chip of stone, crushed lime, a few grains of sand, a sprinkling of water, and several splinters of wood. Focus: A bell and silver wire, if you wish to include alarm spells.

Solid Fog		Utility Ritual
Level 4 Conjuration		Domain: Air, Water
Range: 100', 60' Cloud	Duration: 10 minutes or Concentration

A bank of thick fog billows out at your command. Creatures and objects in the area are concealed from other creatures and objects and creatures or objects with 5' or more of cloud between them are totally concealed from each other. In addition, the fog is intensely difficult to displace. Moving through the area costs 15' of movement for each 5' moved, melee attacks suffer disadvantage, and ranged attacks fail if they travel more than 5' through the area. Additionally, the cloud slows falling, preventing falling damage if the falling creature or object passes through at least 10' of it. Only the strongest of winds are capable of dispersing this spell, and do so over a minute of time.

Arcane Component: A pinch of dried, powdered peas combined with powdered animal hoof

Wizard Eye		Scrying Ritual
Level 4 Conjuration
Range: 1 mile	Duration: 1 minute per level

You conjure arcane eyes to act as your own. 1 invisible sensor per level appears in an unoccupied square adjacent to you. As part of your turn, you can direct each sensor to fly at a speed of 60' and you can look through each sensor at will, seeing from their space as if with your own eyes. In areas of dim or no illumination looking through a sensor provides 60' of darkvision.

Arcane Component: A bit of bat fur

Cloudkill		Damage Spell
Level 5 Conjuration	Poison vs. Constitution
Range: 30', 30' Cloud	Duration: 1 minute

At your summons, a cloud of ghastly yellow-green vapors billows forth. Creatures in the area when this spell is cast, those who enter the area for the first time in a round, and those that start or end their turn in the area must resist or take 3d10 poison damage. In addition, creatures and objects in the area are concealed from other creatures and objects and creatures or objects with 5' or more of cloud between them are totally concealed from each other. The cloud created by this spell moves 10' at the end of each round in a direction away from where it was first cast. Normal winds do not affect the cloud, though strong winds half its duration and can prevent or expedite its movement˜or cause it to travel˜laterally. Very strong winds disperse the cloud in 1 round. The cloud is heavier than normal air and will descend into pits and down hills but not into liquids.

Faithful Hound		Hybrid Ritual
Level 5 Conjuration	Force vs. Dexterity
Range: 60'	Duration: 1 hour per level

You conjure a faithful hound to serve as your guard. Specify a password of up to 9 syllables and select a room, passage, or portal within range. A hound-like creature that only you can see appears in an unoccupied square beside the target area and sets to watch. If a small or larger creature approaches the target without speaking the password, the hound commences a loud barking. If the creature continues into the area without speaking the password, the hound makes a bite attack with advantage and reliability, dealing 3d6 force damage to creatures that do not resist. The hound acts on your initiative, cannot be attacked, and can move anywhere within range as part of its turn. The hound is able to see invisible and ethereal creatures as well as differentiate between reality and illusion. The hound can bark or attack for a number of rounds equal to your level before this spell ends. This spell also ends if you move than 100' away from the area the hound guards.

Limited Success: Within 1d100 x 10 miles. Failure: Within an area that is visually or thematically similar to the target. Critical Failure: On another random plane within an area that is vaguely related to the target. If you target a summoning circle you have personally interacted with, you automatically arrive within it. If you attempt teleportation to a location you have never seen, you suffer unreliability on your conjuration attempt. If you have never visited the destination plane, you suffer disadvantage on your conjuration attempt.

Secret Chest		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Conjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You enchant a chest to provide storage that bridges into the Ethereal Plane. Touch a container of up to 1 cubic foot per level and specify a password of up to nine syllables. When you speak this password, the target is reduced to a miniature facsimile of itself and its contents are sent to the Ethereal Plane.

Detect Magic		Scrying Ritual
Level 1 Divination		Domain: Knowledge
Range: 60'	Duration: 1 round or Concentration

If a magical effect exists on the target, you sense its presence and make an arcane magic or divine magic attempt for you. On a limited success, you learn the area the effect exists over. On a normal, you also learn the school of the effect. On a major, you also learn the level or potency of the effect. On a critical, you learn the spell's name and purpose. If you roll a 20, you additionally identify the caster or all other spell effects on the target. An additional round of concentration on a target allows you to raise the success level of your attempt by one, select another target, or detect an additional effect on a target. If multiple effects exist on a target, you detect the lowest level effect first. If you are aware of an effect, you can target it specifically to unravel its details. If you spend an hour examining and testing a target and then drink 100 gold pieces worth of crushed pearl stirred into wine with an owl feather before casting this spell, you gain a complete understanding of all magical effects the target, including their history and purpose, and can attune it to an adjacent creature. When cast in such a fashion, this spell is sometimes referred to as Identify.

Detect Outsider		Scrying Ritual
Level 1 Divination		Domain: Knowledge

You either see (clairvoyance) or hear (clairaudience) as if you were there. You can pull your senses from this place at any time, and as an action you can return or senses to the location or switch between sight and hearing.

Level 4 Divination
Range: Personal, 100' Cloud	Duration: 24 hours

You raise a sensor to detect scrying. When any attempt is made within the area to magically detect, observe, locate, or otherwise scry information, you become immediately aware of its origin, target, and details. If an attempt is made to scry on anything within the area from outside the area, you can make an Arcana check opposed by the scrier's magic.

Arcane Component: A bit of bloodhound's fur

Scrying		Scrying Ritual
Level 4 Divination		Domain: Knowledge
Range: Unlimited	Duration: Concentration or 10 minutes

You cast out a magical sensor through which you can see and hear. Specify an individual creature or specific object or locale of which you have at least second-hand knowledge and make a divination attempt. If you only have second-hand knowledge of the target, this attempt is unreliable. If you are extremely personally familiar with the target, speak its true name, or use a fragment of it (such as blood, hair, a thread, or a shaving), this attempt is reliable. If the target is on another plane, you have disadvantage on this attempt (your DM may make the secondary roll secretly if you are unaware of the target's current plane). If your attempt is successful, an invisible magical sensor appears in the nearest unoccupied space to the target and moves with it. You can see and hear through this sensor as if you stood there. Creatures that can sense the presence of magic may notice this sensor. If you cast this spell as a ritual, it takes 1 hour to cast. If you cast this spell using spell points or a spell slot, it does not require concentration. If you attempt to cast this spell with an improvised focus, your DM may allow you to do so at disadvantage with a reduced duration equivalent to the reduced focus value.

Arcane Component: The eye of a bird of prey and a small amount of copper, zinc, and spirit of niter. Arcane Focus: A mirror, crystal ball, or similar gazing device worth at least 1000 gp. Divine Focus: A font containing 100 gp worth of holy water or a perfectly tranquil natural pool.

Contact Other Plane		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Divination
Range: Personal	Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round per odd level

You send your mind to planes outside your own, seeking out an intelligence to answer a question. Begin asking questions at a rate of one question per round. All answers come in a single word, such as Yes, No, Maybe, Never, or Irrelevant. When you ask a question, your DM will roll a divination attempt for you, with the success level determining the usefulness of the answer. On a critical successes, you receive answer that is key to your question. On a major you receive a more helpful answer. On a normal, you receive a strictly truthful answer. On a limited, you receive Irrelevant. On a failure, you receive a lie. On a roll of 1, your contact with the mind of an alien being fractures your psyche. If your psyche is fractured by this spell, whenever you cast a spell, your DM may adjust your actions as if you were under the effect of a confusion spell. Each time you take a long rest, your DM will make an Intelligence attempt for you to see if this condition ends, goes dormant, stays the same, or gets worse.

True Seeing		Buff Ritual
Level 5 Divination		Domain: Knowledge
Range: Touch	Duration: Concentration

Your blessing grants the ability to see what truly is. Touch a creature.

If you cast this spell using spell points or a spell slot, it lasts for 10 minutes and does not require concentration or a material component.

Enchantment

Daze		Control Cantrip
Level 0 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 30'

Your enchantments are so compelling they can leave those who stand against you reeling. You lay a compulsion upon a creature you can see within range. If it does not resist, it is pushed 5' and loses its next attack on a normal success, its next attack and movement on a major, and next turn on a critical. Even on a miss, targets struggle to deny your charisma.

Friends		Utility Cantrip
Level 0 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 5'	Duration: 1d4 rounds + 1 per level

Your tongue is skilled in compulsion. Make a suggestion to an intelligent humanoid within range. If the target does not resist, it treats this suggestion as if it were from a close friend. You may be able to convince the target to provide you access to a restricted area, give you a free meal, not search your person, or other actions they would only allow someone they favor. On a major success, this cantrip's duration changes to minutes. On a critical, it changes to hours. On a 20, the duration becomes permanent. On a failure, the target realizes you attempted to exert magical influence over them. When this cantrip ends, the target realizes you magically manipulated them. You can only have one instance of this cantrip active at a time. If you attempt to cast this cantrip again, the previous instance ends. This cantrip is unreliable on creatures with more hit points than your maximum.

Arcane Component: Chalk, lampblack, or vermillion applied to the face

Charm Person		Control Ritual
Level 1 Enchantment	Charm vs. Charisma
Range: 30'	Duration: 1 hour per level

You lay a charm on humanoid creature within range with whom you can communicate. If the target is being threatened or attacked by you or your allies or has more hit points than ten times your level, it can attempt to resist this effect. While charmed, the target considers you, your words, and your actions in the best possible light, as if you were great friends. Any act by you or your allies that threatens the target ends this effect. When this spell ends, the target becomes aware you ensorcelled it.

Hypnotism		Control Ritual
Level 1 Enchantment	Compulsion vs, Charisma
Range: 30' Cone	Duration: 2d4 rounds

Your words and gestures weave deeply into minds. Creatures in the area that can see and hear you and do not resist stop what they are doing and stare blankly your way, hypnotized. You can make a single, brief request which, if reasonable, targets accept in the best possible light and you can release them from their trance to take the suggested action. Any immediate threat or injury ends this compulsion, as does someone shaking or slapping the victim. This spell is unreliable against creatures in combat. While hypnotized, creatures suffer unreliable perception. Creatures who do not resist this spell or who resist on a limited success do not recall being ensorcelled. Even after this spell ends, affected creatures retain their postive attitude toward you in regards to your suggestion. This spell can be cast as a ritual, but only through a preperation feature such as Arcane Preperation.

Sleep		Control Spell
Level 1+ Enchantment	Compulsion
Range: 100', 30' Sphere	Duration: 1 minute

You cast forth an irresitible compulsion to sleep. Roll 2d4 per spell level and multiply by 4. This many hit points worth of concious creatures in the area fall unconcious, in order of lowest hit points first. Physical jarring or damage of any sort awakens a target.

Forget		Utility Ritual
Level 2 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 10'	Duration: Permanent

You wipe a mind of memory. Select a creature you can see within range. It forgets the events of up to 1 minute per level. If the target is unwilling, at the beginning of its next turn it can attempt to resist this effect.

Preservative: a pinch of powdered amber

Hold Person		Control Spell
Level 2+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma	Domain: Astral, Justice
Range: 60'	Duration: Concentration

Your enchantment freezes a foe in place. Select a humanoid creature with no more than 20 hit points that you can see within range. The target is paralyzed. At the start of its turns, it can attempt to end this effect. At each spell level above 2nd, an additional creature can be targeted.

Arcane Focus: A straight piece of iron

Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter		Control Spell
Level 2+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 30'	Duration: Concentration

Your joke compels riotous laughter. Select an intelligent creature in range. It falls prone in a fit of manic laughter. If the target has more than 30 hit points it can attempt to resist this effect. While in a fit of manic laughter, a creature is unable to take actions or move. A creature that takes damage while under this effect can attempt to end it. At each spell level above 2nd, you can target an additional creature with this spell.

Arcane Component: Tiny tarts thrown at the target and a feather waved in the air

Enrage		Control Spell
Level 3+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 100'	Duration: Concentration

You send a mind into fury. Select a creature you can see within range. The target becomes enraged. At the end of the target's turns, it can attempt to end this effect. In addition, if the target has more than 40 hit points, it can attempt to resist this effect. For each spell level above 3rd, you can target an additional creature with this spell.

Suggestion		Control Spell
Level 3+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 100'	Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours

You lay a seemingly benign compulsion over another. Select a creature you can see within range and suggest a one-sentence course of action, worded in a manner as to make it sound reasonable. The target attempts to carry out this action when they are able to. Targets with more than 60 hit points can attempt to resist this effect. If the suggestion is obviously harmful to the target, such as a suggestion to impale themselves on a spear, this spell fails. A target can be deceived by means of this spell, but if the deception becomes apparent (such as when a creature jumps into a pool of acid after being suggested it is water), the effect ends. This effect also ends after the suggested activity is completed. For each spell level above 3, you can target two times as many creatures with this spell's suggestion.

Arcane Component: A snake's tongue and a bit of honeycomb or sweet oil

Charm Monster		Control Ritual
Level 4 Enchantment	Charm vs. Charisma
Range: 30'	Duration: 1 hour per level

You ensorcell a monster. Select a creature you can see within range. It consider you, your words, and your actions in the best possible light, as if you were great friends. If the target has more hit points than ten times your level or if it is being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, it can attempt to resist. Any act by you or your allies that threatens the target ends this spell. When this spell ends, the target becomes aware you ensorcelled it.

Confusion		Control Spell
Level 4 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 100', 30' Sphere	Duration: Concentration

You call down a circle of madness. Creatures within the area who do not resist become confused. At the start of a confused creature's turn, roll 1d10. The result determines how the target acts: 1 - The target spends its turn moving safely away from any interaction that is taking place, as if disinterested 2-6 - The target spends its turn doing nothing. Afterwards it can attempt to end the spell's effect. 7-9 - The target spends its turn making melee attacks against a random creature within reach. 10 - The target acts normally and can spend an attack to attempt to end this spell's effect.

Arcane Component: Three nut shells

Fumble		Control Spell
Level 4+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 100'	Duration: 1 minute

You render a foe obscenely clumsy. Select a creature you can see within range. It suffers disadvantage on all attempts and immediately drops anything it was holding. In addition, the target becomes unable to pick up or hold anything and whenever it attempts to move in a fashion other than crawling, it falls prone. A target with more than 10 hit points per spell level can spend an attack to attempt to end this effect. If it succeeds, lingering lack of body control causes it to be slowed. While slowed, it can spend an attack to attempt to end the slowing effect. For each spell level above 4, you can target an additional creature with this spell.

Arcane Component: A dab of solidified milkfat

Geas/Quest		Control Spell
Level 4+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma	Domain: Justice
Range: 30'	Duration: Permanent

You command an unbreakable quest. Select a creature you can see within range and order it to carry out a specific service or refrain from a certain action. The target must follow your given command until it completes the task, at which point the spell ends. If the task is open-ended, such as 'Wait here' or 'Defend this area against attack', the spell remains in effect for 2 days per spell level. You cannot compel a creature to kill itself or perform acts that would result in certain death. A creature is only required to follow the letter of the command, not the spirit, so clever creatures may find ways to subvert its purpose. If the target has more than 20 hit points per spell level it can spend an attack to attempt to end this effect. Dispel Magic cannot end this effect, though restoration, break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, or wish cast at an equal or higher level can attempt to.

Hold Monster		Control Spell
Level 4+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma	Domain: Astral, Justice
Range: 100'	Duration: Concentration

With a word and gesture, you root a foe in place. Select a creature with 60 hit points or less that you can see within range. It is paralyzed. A target can attempt to end this effect at the start of its turns. At each spell level above 4th, you can target an additional creature with this spell.

Focus: A straight piece of iron

Dominate Person		Control Spell
Level 5+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 100'	Duration: Concentration

You place a mind under your control. Select a humanoid of up to 10 hit points per spell level that you can see within range. Once per round when the target takes a turn, you can force it to act as you desire. The target can attempt to end this control at the end of a turn in which its actions have been dominated. If you force the target to take a suicidal action, it can attempt to end this spell prior to doing so. If you cast this spell over the course of an hour on a target, its duration changes to one day per spell level. In addition, as an action, you can provide the target with a command. The target gets one attempt per day to resist a command. If it resists, this spell ends. If it does not, it will continue to attempt to carry out this command to the exclusion of all other activities not necessary for its survival (such as eating and sleeping). Finally, as a full round action requiring concentration, you can receive full sensory input from the target as if you were in its body.

Feeblemind		Control Spell
Level 5 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Intelligence
Range: 100'	Duration: Permanent

You tear apart intelligence. Select a creature you can see within range. Its Intelligence score becomes 1, the roughly equivalent of a puppy's. It loses the ability to speak, understand communication, cast spells, parry, or make weapon attacks. It retains its knowledge of friend and foe and can follow or protect those it trusts. If the target has more than 70 hit points, it can spend an action to attempt to end this effect.

Lamentable Belaborment		Control Spell
Level 5+ Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma
Range: 30', 20' Sphere	Duration: Concentration + 3 rounds

You strike up an argument that eventually leads conversers into madness. Intelligent creatures within the area must resist or be compelled into discussion with you. Targets that do not speak your language have reliability resisting this effect. Targets with less than 30 hit points cannot resist. Affected targets begin a discussion with you and other targets on the topic you choose, making a luck roll at the end of each of their turns while you maintain concentration on this discussion. On the first unlucky result, a target wanders off in confusion, avoiding you. On the second, they fall prone, lamenting the hopelessness of finding reason. On the third, they become enraged and return to attack other targets under the affect of this spell. A roll of 1 counts as two unlucky results. A roll of 20 ends the effect. A target wounded by an enraged target becomes enraged. If only one target remains, it continues this argument with itself. This effect ends for a target if it is attacked by you or another creature not under the effects of this spell. For each spell level above 5th, double this spell's range and increase the size of its sphere by 10'.

Symbol of Sleep		Control Spell
Level 5 Enchantment	Compulsion vs. Charisma	Domain: Trickery
Range: 60'	Duration: Permanent

You enchant a symbol capable of sending others into a catatonic state. Touch a large, clearly-visible rune you have spent 10 minutes inscribing into a solid surface such as a floor, door, arch, or wall, then specify a password of up to nine syllables and a trigger. A trigger can be something general, such as touching the symbol, walking beneath the symbol, or looking at the symbol, and it can be further limited by specifying a triggering creature type, name, deity of worship, or similar selection criteria. Provided the symbol is not covered or obscured, when the trigger is met by a creature that does not speak the password, the symbol is activated in a brilliant glow of light. Creatures within range that have line of sight to the symbol and less than 40 hit points and do not speak the password fall unconcious 1 hour. If you have made this spell permanent through a preservative, you can reactivate the symbol 1 hour after it was triggered by touching it. Otherwise, it reactivates automatically at the dawn of the next day.

Arcane Component: Mercury and phosphorus Preservative: 1000 gp of powdered diamond and opal

Evocation

Light		Utility Cantrip/Orison
Level 0 Evocation	Evocation vs. Charisma	Domain: Air, Light
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 hour

Depending on the target's size and proximity, this interposition grants you cover or total cover from the target's attacks and vice versa.

It blocks all physical and magical effects, including sounds and breath weapons, though it does not prevent visual effects such as a medusa's gaze.

Each 5 foot square of the wall has 15 hit points per inch of thickness and resists physical damage. The wall can be made taller or thicker by sacrificing corresponding length. It does not need to be created vertically, however, it does need to be attached to support points. I.e. a bridge needs to be buttressed and permanently anchored to either side of the gap it spans. Adding custom work such as buttressing or arrow loops reduces the wall's length by half.

Movement spells are usually applied to boots, headgear is usually enchanted with mind-related effects, cloaks and other neck items are usually enchanted with protection, and implements such as rods, staffs, and wands are usually enchanted with the ability to deliver spells.

Massmorph		Utility Ritual
Level 4 Transmutation
Range: 400', 10' per odd level Sphere	Duration: Permanent

You disguise a band of creatures as a grove of trees. Willing creatures you select˜within the area are polymorphed into shrubs or trees of a type of your choosing. While polymorphed, targets cannot move, speak, or act but are able to see, hear, and feel in all directions. Targets are able to rest in this form, still require sleep, and can be subject to natural hazards such as insects and disease. Outside of magical detection, the only way to reveal a target is under the effects of this spell is to damage it, as creatures polymorphed into trees bleed normally.

Arcane Component: A handful of bark chips

Mnemonic Enhancer		Utility Spell
Level 4+ Transmutation
Range: Personal

You alter the way you unleash magic. When you cast this spell, choose to either prepare additional spells or recast a spell. If you choose to prepare additional spells, select 4 spell levels worth of spells in any combination you desire. You immediately memorize these spells. If you choose to recast a spell, you immediately recast a 4th level or lower spell you cast previously in the day. For each spell level above 4th, increase the spell levels this spell allows you to prepare or recast by one.

Arcane Component: A piece of string and ink consisting of squid secretion and black dragon's blood. Focus: An ivory plaque of at least 100 gp value.

Polymorph		Utility Spell
Level 4 Transmutation	Polymorph vs. Constitution	Domain: Trickery
Range: 50'	Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You transform someone. Select a creature you can see within range and choose a creature form with hit dice equal to or less than the target's. The target is polymorphed into the chosen form, experiencing the following effects: 1. Any gear the target possessed that its new form cannot wear or carry is melded into its new form, becoming nonfunctional. 2. The target gains a secondary hit point pool of an average specimen of its new form. 3. The target uses the new form's average Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity ranks. 4. The target loses all features (such as elemental or spell resistance) and abilities (such as breath weapon, gaze, and spellcasting) of its original form and gains all non-magical abilities (such as winged flight) and features (such as elemental or spell resistance) of the new form. If the target is unwilling, it can attempt to resist this spell. If it resists with normal success, it is only polymorphed until the end of its next turn. If it resists with major success, it is only polymorphed until the start of its next turn. If the target is unwilling and has more than 150 hit points, it can spend an action to attempt to end this effect. If the target has the ability to shape-change, it can leave this form at any time. This effect also ends if the target's secondary hit point pool is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, with excess damage being applied to its primary hit point pool.

Arcane Component: An empty cocoon

Stone Shape		Utility Ritual
Level 4 Transmutation		Domain: Astral, Earth
Range: Touch

Stone bends to your will. Touch a piece or segment of stone of up to 2 cubic feet per level. It melds into a shape you choose. This spell can only only produce shapes a master stonemason might. Doors, sarcophagi, and block and tackle could be created but something as complex as a clock or lock could not.

Arcane Component: Soft clay worked into the intended design

Distance Distortion		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Transmutation
Range: Touch	Duration: Permanent

You distort the size of a space. Touch an enclosed space with a size of up to 10 cubic feet per level, such as a cave, the interior of a tent, or an inn room. The target grows or shrinks as you choose by up to 10% per level. This extra-dimensional adjustment is only visible within the target; a tent with an interior enchanted to be 100% larger or smaller looks normal from outside. This spell will not reduce the size of a space beyond the volume of the objects within it, and when its effect ends any objects too big to remain are slowly shunted from it via the closest exit.

Arcane Component: A small lump of soft clay Preservative: 5000 gp worth of powdered diamond per 10 cubic feet affected, sprinkled over the area

Fabricate		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Transmutation
Range: 100'	Duration: Permanent

With a word and a gesture, you transmute a material from one form into another. Select a non-magical object you can see within range and specify an alternate form you want it to take. For example, trees could be turned into a wooden bridge, silk clothing could become silk rope, or sand could become glass. You can transmute up to 1 cubic foot of non-organic material per level, or 10 cubic feet of organic material per level with this spell. A target must be able to be reasonably crafted into the form you specify or this spell fails. In order to create complex items (such as locks, clocks, or masterwork weapons) with this spell, you must possess the ability to craft such an item without magic.

Preservative: 1 gold coin embedded into each cubic foot of non-organic matter or each 10 cubic feet of organic matter

Passwall		Utility Spell
Level 5+ Transmutation
Range: 30'	Duration: 2 hours per spell level

Your command parts obstacles. Select one or more objects made of non-metal materials that you can see within range than is no more than 2' thick per spell level. You create a 5' wide, 10' high passage through the target.

Arcane Component: A pinch of sesame seeds

Telekinesis		Control Spell
Level 5+ Transmutation	Force vs. Strength
Range: 60' per spell level	Duration: Concentration

You move things with your mind. When you cast this spell and as an action, select up to one object and/or creatures per spell level that you can see within range whose total combined weight does not exceed 50 lbs. per spell level. You can move each target 30' in any direction. If you extend this action to a full round action, after moving a target you can hold it in place. While moving a target, you can manipulate it as if it were in your hands, allowing you to turn a target over, shake out its coin purse, tie together its shoelaces, etc. If you use this spell to hurl a target at something, you make an attack as if with a 30' ray using this spell's rank. Softer targets such as wine barrels or cloth-garbed, fleshy creatures deal 1 bludgeoning damage per 25 pounds to creatures or objects they strike. Harder targets, such as boulders, anvils, and plate-garbed fleshy creatures, deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 25 pounds. If you target weapons with this spell, each target deals its normal attack damage instead. Creatures used as targets suffer the same damage they deal. Unwilling targets and creatures possessing targeted objects can attempt to resist this effect, as can targets who spend an attack to try and escape the effect.

Telepathic Bond		Utility Ritual
Level 5 Transmutation
Range: 30'	Duration: 1 hour or Concentration

You forge a telepathic bond. Select up to 8 willing creatures capable of speaking a language within range. You and these targets can communicate telepathically with each other regardless of the distance you are seperated, provided you are on the same plane. If you cast this spell using spell points or a spell slot, you can resume an instance of this spell you had active in the past 24 hours, provided all targets are still on the same plane. When cast using spell points or a spell slot, this spell does not require a material component.

Arcane Component: A piece of eggshell from two different types of creature

Transmute Earth and Stone		Utility Spell
Level 5 Transmutation	Earth vs. Dexterity	Domain: Earth
Range: 300'

You alter the earth to suit your needs. Select a contiguous area of stone or earth within range of up to 10 cubic feet per spell level and specify a transmutation, such as mud to rock, rock to sand, stone to mud, or clay to rich, loamy earth. Ground can be made difficult terrain by this effect, provided you affect it to a depth of 1'. If you create mud or sand deep enough to swallow a creature standing on the area, it must resist or sink when the effect occurs and at the start of its turns while it remains in the area. Creatures without swim speeds who sink into mud or sand created by this spell are grappled, blinded, deafened, muted, totally obscured, and cannot breathe. Sinking creatures can spend an action to attempt to resist this effect, with one success allowing them to breach the surface and a second success allowing them to escape the area. If you collapse rock or earth that is above a creature, such as the roof of a tunnel, the cave-in deals 8d6 bludgeoning damage to creatures caught in the area, or half damage to those who successfully resist. If you target worked stone or earth with this spell, such as a castle wall, the area is halved.

Arcane Component: Water and clay, sand, or lime.
