Baator, Nine Hells of

Alterations to Magic
Avernus is the entrance to the Nine Hells, a battlefield drenched in eldritch energy. The magic of the Weave works differently here, manifesting in unusual ways.


Cosmetic Spell Modifications
At your discretion, a spell can be modified cosmetically to enhance the corrupting nature of Avernus. Here are some examples:

• Bigby's Hand. The conjured hand is a fiendish claw.
• Find Familiar. The familiar is an imp.
• Find Steed. The steed is a nightmare.
• Find the Path. An imp appears and begrudgingly guides the caster to the desired location while complaining the whole time, disappearing when the destination is reached or the spell ends.
• Fog Cloud. Moaning faces appear and fade in the yellow fog that smells like sulfur.
• Hellish Rebuke. The cackling of imps accompanies the fire unleashed by this spell.
• Mage Hand. The summoned hand is shaped like a claw.
• Rary's Telepathic Bond. Characters linked together by the spell can hear vague, infernal whispering in the background, but can't make out what's being said.
