8th-Level Spells

8TH-LEVEL SPELLS

Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting

8th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (A bit of sponge)
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Druid, Odic, Sorcerer, Wizard
Origin: Elemental Evil

You draw the moisture from every creature in a 30-foot cube centered on a point you choose within range. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 12d8 necrotic damage and begins to wither for the duration. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and the spell ends for it.

A withering creature takes 2d8 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns until the spell ends. The spell ends early for the creature if it uses its action to drink at least 1 pint of fresh water.

Constructs and Undead aren’t affected by this spell. Plant creatures and water elementals make saving throws against this spell with disadvantage.

Nonmagical plants in the area that aren't creatures, such as trees and shrubs, wither and die over the course of the spell’s duration.

Animal Shapes

8th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 24 hours
Classes: Druid, Odic
Origin: Player's Handbook

Your magic turns others into beasts. Choose any number of willing creatures that you can see within range. You transform each target into the form of a Large or smaller beast with a challenge rating of 4 or lower. On subsequent turns, you can use your action to transform affected creatures into new forms.

The transformation lasts for the duration for each target, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. You can choose a different form for each target. A target’s game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast, though the target retains its alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores. The target assumes the hit points of its new form, and when it reverts to its normal form, it returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature’s normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious. The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can’t speak or cast spells.

The target’s gear melds into the new form. The target can’t activate, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

Antimagic Field

8th-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10-foot-radius
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of powdered iron or iron filings)
Duration: Concentration, up to an hour
Classes: Alchemist, Astromancer, Cleric, Odic, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can't be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.

Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can't protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn't function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.

Targeted Effects. Spells and other magical effects, such as magic missile and charm person, that target a creature or an object in the sphere have no effect on that target.

Areas of Magic. The area of another spell or magical effect, such as fireball, can't extend into the sphere. If the sphere overlaps an area of magic, the part of the area that is covered by the sphere is suppressed. For example, the flames created by a wall of fire are suppressed within the sphere, creating a gap in the wall if the overlap is large enough.

Spells. Any active spell or other magical effect on a creature or an object in the sphere is suppressed while the creature or object is in it.

Magic Items. The properties and powers of magic items are suppressed in the sphere. For example, a longsword, +1 in the sphere functions as a nonmagical longsword.

A magic weapon's properties and powers are suppressed if it is used against a target in the sphere or wielded by an attacker in the sphere. If a magic weapon or a piece of magic ammunition fully leaves the sphere (for example, if you fire a magic arrow or throw a magic spear at a target outside the sphere), the magic of the item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.

Magical Travel. Teleportation and planar travel fail to work in the sphere, whether the sphere is the destination or the departure point for such magical travel. A portal to another location, world, or plane of existence, as well as an opening to an extradimensional space such as that created by the rope trick spell, temporarily closes while in the sphere.

Creatures and Objects. A creature or object summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly reappears once the space the creature occupied is no longer within the sphere.

Dispel Magic. Spells and magical effects such as dispel magic have no effect on the sphere. Likewise, the spheres created by different antimagic field spells don't nullify each other.

Antipathy/Sympathy

8th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (either a lump of alum soaked in vinegar for the antipathy effect or a drop of honey for the sympathy effect)
Duration: 10 days
Classes: Astromancer, Bard, Druid, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

This spell attracts or repels creatures of your choice. You target something within range, either a Huge or smaller object or creature or an area that is no larger than a 200-foot cube. Then specify a kind of intelligent creature, such as red dragons, goblins, or vampires. You invest the target with an aura that either attracts or repels the specified creatures for the duration. Choose antipathy or sympathy as the aura's effect.

Antipathy. The enchantment causes creatures of the kind you designated to feel an intense urge to leave the area and avoid the target. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened. The creature remains frightened while it can see the target or is within 60 feet of it. While frightened by the target, the creature must use its movement to move to the nearest safe spot from which it can't see the target. If the creature moves more than 60 feet from the target and can't see it, the creature is no longer frightened, but the creature becomes frightened again if it regains sight of the target or moves within 60 feet of it.

Sympathy. The enchantment causes the specified creatures to feel an intense urge to approach the target while within 60 feet of it or able to see it. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or use its movement on each of its turns to enter the area or move within reach of the target. When the creature has done so, it can't willingly move away from the target. If the target damages or otherwise harms an affected creature, the affected creature can make a Wisdom saving throw to end the effect, as described below.

Ending the Effect. If an affected creature ends its turn while not within 60 feet of the target or able to see it, the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the creature is no longer affected by the target and recognizes the feeling of repugnance or attraction as magical. In addition, a creature affected by the spell is allowed another Wisdom saving throw every 24 hours while the spell persists.

A creature that successfully saves against this effect is immune to it for 1 minute, after which time it can be affected again.

Arcane Elevation

8th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to an hour
Classes: Bard, Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard
Origin: None

You create a 10-foot radius sphere of heightened magic, centered on a point that you can see within range. Creatures within the area treat any spell slots they have as if they were one level higher, up to a maximum of 8th level.

Bloodstars

8th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S, M (a platinum ritual dagger with an ebony hilt, worth at least 1,000 gp)
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You cut your hand with a blade, releasing a gout of blood that forms into eight small stars of necromantic energy that float around you for the duration. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one of the stars, hurling it toward a creature within 90 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target suffers 3d10 necrotic damage. Each time you damage a creature with this spell, your hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to half the damage dealt for the duration, and you regain hit points equal to the same amount.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 9th level spell slot, the number of stars created increases to 12.

Body Double

8th-level illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a mask made from plaster or leather)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Bard,
Origin: Jack Weighill

You touch a Medium or Small humanoid, taking their form and identity. Your body and voice transform to match that of the targets, as does your size and speed. Your other statistics remain the same.

Additionally, you instantly learn how to perfectly mimic the target’s speech pattern, gait, writing, and behaviour.

Your identity is indiscernible to a casual observer. If a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma checks you make to avoid detection.

You revert to your true form when you die, or when you cast this spell again and target yourself.

Celestial Opposition

8th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Cleric, Druid,
Origin: None

You unleash a blast of radiant energy in a 30-foot radius around you, striking your foes with the will of the gods. Each creature you choose in the area must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 6d8 radiant damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not stunned.

Clone

8th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 1,000 gp and at least 1 cubic inch of flesh of the creature that is to be cloned, which the spell consumes, and a vessel worth at least 2,000 gp that has a sealable lid and is large enough to hold a Medium creature, such as a huge urn, coffin, mud- filled cyst in the ground, or crystal container filled with salt water)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Alchemist, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

This spell grows an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death. This clone forms inside a sealed vessel and grows to full size and maturity after 120 days; you can also choose to have the clone be a younger version of the same creature. It remains inert and endures indefinitely, as long as its vessel remains undisturbed.

At any time after the clone matures, if the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to return. The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but none of the original's equipment. The original creature's physical remains, if they still exist, become inert and can't thereafter be restored to life, since the creature's soul is elsewhere.

Coldsnap/Heatwave

8th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 500 feet
Components: V, S, M (an enclosed glass cylinder filled with liquid mercury)
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Druid
Origin: Devout Handbook

You create a wild temperature fluctuation at a point you can see within range. For the duration, you create a cylinder that is 300 feet tall with a 100-foot radius centered on the chosen point. Within this cylinder, the temperature becomes freezing cold or unbearably hot. When you cast this spell, choose whether you will create a coldsnap or a heatwave in the area.

Coldsnap. Creatures within the affected area have their movement speeds halved and have disadvantage on Dexterity ability checks and saving throws. When you cast this spell, and again as an action on each of your turns until the spell ends, you can choose a point within the cylinder. Each creature within 10 feet of the chosen point must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 6d10 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Heatwave. Creatures within the affected area have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom ability checks and saving throws. When you cast this spell, and again as an action on each of your turns until the spell ends, you can choose a point within the cylinder. Each creature within 10 feet of the chosen point must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 6d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Control Greater Weather

8th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 5-mile radius
Components: V, S, M (burning incense and bits of earth and wood mixed in water)
Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
Classes: Cleric, Druid, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

You take control of the weather within 5 miles of you for the duration. You must be outdoors to cast this spell. Moving to a place where you don’t have a clear path to the sky ends the spell early.

When you cast the spell, you change the current weather conditions, which are determined by the DM based on the climate and season. You can change precipitation, temperature, and wind. It takes 1d4 × 10 minutes for the new conditions to take effect. Once they do so, you can change the conditions again. When the spell ends, the weather gradually returns to normal.

When you change the weather conditions, find a current condition on the following tables and change its stage by one, up or down. When changing the wind, you can change its direction.

Precipitation

Stage	Condition
1	Clear
2	Light clouds
3	Overcast or ground fog
4	Rain, hail, or snow
5	Torrential rain, driving hail, or blizzard

Crystal Core

8th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a diamond hourglass filled with stardust worth at least 1,000 gp)
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You conjure four crystalline structures in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. These cores float in place, filling a 5-foot area. As a part of your action to cast the spell, and as an action of subsequent turns, you can have one or more of the crystals fire a beam of energy at a creature within 15 feet of that core. You may have the cores fire at one target, or several.

Make a ranged spell attack for each attacking crystal. On a hit, a target takes 5d4 force damage.

Each crystal has hit points equal to 5 times your caster level, and AC equal to your spell save DC. The crystals all have immunity to poison, psychic, and radiant damage, as well as non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage not made from adamantine. The crystals all have resistance to acid, cold, fire lightning, and necrotic damage.

Dark Star

8th-level dunamancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a shard of onyx and a drop of the caster's blood, both of which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Astromancer, Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Critical Role

This spell creates a sphere centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere can have a radius of up to 40 feet and it spreads around corners. The area within this sphere is filled with magical darkness and crushing gravitational force. For the duration, the spell's area is difficult terrain. No sound can be created within or pass through the area. Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage, and creatures are deafened while entirely inside it. Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible there.

Any creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 8d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Demiplane

8th-level dunamancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a shadowy door on a flat solid surface that you can see within range. The door is large enough to allow Medium creatures to pass through unhindered. When opened, the door leads to a demiplane that appears to be an empty room 30 feet in each dimension, made of wood or stone. When the spell ends, the door disappears, and any creatures or objects inside the demiplane remain trapped there, as the door also disappears from the other side.

Each time you cast this spell, you can create a new demiplane, or have the shadowy door connect to a demiplane you created with a previous casting of this spell. Additionally, if you know the nature and contents of a demiplane created by a casting of this spell by another creature, you can have the shadowy door connect to its demiplane instead.

Devour Soul

8th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 15 feet
Components: V, S, M (an orb of pure onyx worth at least 500 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Cleric, Odic, Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You pull forth a sizable fragment of a creature’s soul, drawing it in to fuel your body. The target creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 10d10 necrotic damage and cannot regain hit points until a remove curse spell or similar magic is cast on it successfully. On a success, the target takes half damage and cannot regain hit points until the end of your next turn.

You regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt by the spell, then gain an equal number of temporary hit points, which last for 1 minute.

A creature killed by this spell cannot be revived by any means, short of a true resurrection or wish spell.

Divine Avenger

8th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, M (a holy symbol)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Classes: Cleric,
Origin: Devout Handbook

A Huge spectral avenger appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The spell fails if the space you choose is not large enough to accommodate the avenger. The avenger appears angelic if you are good, fey if you are neutral, or fiendish if you are evil, and it has armor emblazoned with the symbol of your deity. It acts during your turn, is immune to all conditions and damage, and is unaffected by spells other than antimagic field or dispel magic. You can use a bonus action on your turn to verbally command the avenger to take a specific action from the following list:

Move. The avenger moves toward an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see by the most direct route, as though it has a flying speed of 60 feet.

Punish. Choose a point within 30 feet of the avenger that you can see. The avenger launches divine energy from its hand at the indicated spot, causing an explosion affecting each creature within 10 feet of the point. Each creature other than you in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 4d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The damage type of the explosion is determined by your alignment: radiant damage for good, force damage for neutral, or necrotic damage for evil.

Smite. Choose a creature that you can see. The avenger moves toward that creature by the most direct route, as though the avenger has a flying speed of 30 feet, then you make a melee spell attack against the target if it’s within 5 feet of the avenger. If the attack hits, the target takes 6d8 damage. The damage type of the attack is determined by your alignment: radiant damage for good, force damage for neutral, or necrotic damage for evil.

If you don’t issue a command to the avenger, it uses its Smite action against the hostile creature nearest to you if able, or its Move action to reach that creature if it isn’t close enough to attack.

Dominate Monster

8th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to an hour
Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Odic, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

You attempt to beguile a creature that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

While the creature is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.

Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a 9th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

Earthquake

8th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 500 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of dirt, a piece of rock, and a lump of clay)
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Astromancer, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer
Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a seismic disturbance at a point on the ground that you can see within range. For the duration, an intense tremor rips through the ground in a 100-foot-radius circle centered on that point and shakes creatures and structures in contact with the ground in that area.

The ground in the area becomes difficult terrain. Each creature on the ground that is concentrating must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's concentration is broken.

When you cast this spell and at the end of each turn you spend concentrating on it, each creature on the ground in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.

This spell can have additional effects depending on the terrain in the area, as determined by the DM.

Fissures. Fissures open throughout the spell's area at the start of your next turn after you cast the spell. A total of 1d6 such fissures open in locations chosen by the GM. Each is 1d10 × 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide, and extends from one edge of the spell's area to the opposite side. A creature standing on a spot where a fissure opens must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall in. A creature that successfully saves moves with the fissure's edge as it opens.

A fissure that opens beneath a structure causes it to automatically collapse (see below).

Structures. The tremor deals 50 bludgeoning damage to any structure in contact with the ground in the area when you cast the spell and at the start of each of your turns until the spell ends. If a structure drops to 0 hit points, it collapses and potentially damages nearby creatures. A creature within half the distance of a structure's height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble, requiring a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check as an action to escape. The DM can adjust the DC higher or lower, depending on the nature of the rubble. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and doesn't fall prone or become buried.

Equinox

8th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Astromancer
Origin: Jack Weighill

You create a celestial equilibrium, shining great light down upon the world, and casting great shadows beyond them. Choose two points that you can see within range. One of the points emanates light, while the other emanates shadow (your choice).

Light. The point exudes a blinding white light in a 30-foot-radius around it. The light heavily obscures its area and spreads around corners. Whenever a hostile creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

If any of this effect’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 7th level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

Shadow. Magical darkness spreads from the point, filling a 30-foot-radius sphere. The darkness spreads around corners. Whenever a hostile creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Any area covered by the effects of both Light and Shadow are instead unaffected by both, as the two areas cancel each other out.

The areas persist for the duration, or until you use an action on subsequent turns to move one or both of the areas up to 60 feet to points that you can see.

False Blood

8th-level necromancy (mythic)

Casting Time: 8 hours
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (a quart of blood from two different biologically compatible humanoids, a life-sized plain porcelain baby worth at least 250 gp, a large diamond worth at least 5,000 gp, the heart of a celestial and the life of a sentient humanoid biologically compatible with both blood sources, all of which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Alchemist, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You fuse the blood of two creatures and the soul of another into a porcelain vessel, giving it life and flesh through a celestial heart. After the spell’s completion, the doll animates as a living infant, as if it were the offspring of the two blood sources.

The infant is different to most however. Like porcelain, it will grow with faultless flesh and excellent health, granting it advantage on saving throws against disease, but any scarring it attains will be deep and spidering like shattered glass.

For every minute it spends inside an area of antimagic, the false blooded creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer 1 point of exhaustion.

When the false blooded creature dies, its body will turn back into porcelain, before falling apart entirely.

All effects persist for the entirety of the creature’s life, unless it is later revived through the resurrection spell, or greater magic, upon which it will gain a body of true flesh.

All effects persist for the entirety of the creature’s life, unless it is later revived through bodily restoring means, upon which it will gain a body of true flesh.

Feeblemind

8th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a handful of clay, crystal, glass, or mineral spheres)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Druid, Warlock, Wizard
Origin: Player's Handbook

You blast the mind of a creature that you can see within range, attempting to shatter its intellect and personality. The target takes 4d6 psychic damage and must make an Intelligence saving throw.

On a failed save, the creature's Intelligence and Charisma scores become 1. The creature can't cast spells, activate magic items, understand language, or communicate in any intelligible way. The creature can, however, identify its friends, follow them, and even protect them.

At the end of every 30 days, the creature can repeat its saving throw against this spell. If it succeeds on its saving throw, the spell ends.

The spell can also be ended by greater restoration, heal, or wish.

Gomez's Evoconvergence

8th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a star talisman made from sapphire, emerald, ruby and topaz worth at least 500 gp)
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You align the energies of the elements, fusing them with your own form. For the duration, whenever you would take acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to unleash a raging bolt of elemental energy out towards your attacker. The target creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 damage of the triggered type on a failed saving throw, and half that on a success.

Additionally, whenever you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder damage, you gain one of the following benefits:

You gain advantage on a single spell attack roll associated with the spell.
One target of the spell suffers disadvantage on a single saving throw associated with the spell.

Greater Arcane Fusion

8th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S, M (a double-ended dagger)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Sorcerer,
Origin: Jack Weighill

Through supreme arcane metamagics, you fuse the effects of two spells, conjuring their power simultaneously. Choose two spells of 5th level or lower with a casting time of 1 action that you know or have prepared. You cast both of these spells at 5th level without expending spell slots. You choose which order you cast both spells.

After you cast both spells, you cannot cast another spell of 1st level or higher until the end of the turn.

Holy Aura

8th-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tiny reliquary worth at least 1,000 gp containing a sacred relic, such as a scrap of cloth from a saint's robe or a piece of parchment from a religious text)
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Cleric
Origin: Player's Handbook

Divine light washes out from you and coalesces in a soft radiance in a 30-foot radius around you. Creatures of your choice in that radius when you cast this spell shed dim light in a 5-foot radius and have advantage on all saving throws, and other creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls against them until the spell ends. In addition, when a fiend or an undead hits an affected creature with a melee attack, the aura flashes with brilliant light. The attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the spell ends.

Intracability

8th level illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a shard of mirror, four pieces of cotton, and a ball of string)
Duration: Concentration, up to an hour
Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

The creature you touch becomes completely undetectable for the duration. The target is invisible, inaudible, gives off no odour or scent, and does not need somatic or verbal components to cast spells. Unless in the presence of a creature with blindsight or truesight, the creature is considered to automatically succeed on all Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

Illusory Dragon

8th-level illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: S
Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
Classes: Wizard
Origin: Xanathar's Guide to Everything

By gathering threads of shadow material from the Shadowfell, you create a Huge shadowy dragon in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The illusion lasts for the spell's duration and occupies its space, as if it were a creature.

When the illusion appears, any of your enemies that it can see must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of it for 1 minute. If a frightened creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight of the illusion, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 60 feet. At any point during its movement, you can cause it to exhale a blast of energy in a 60-foot cone originating from its space. When you create the dragon, choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, or poison. Each creature in the cone must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 7d6 damage of the chosen damage type on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The illusion is tangible because of the shadow stuff used to create it, but attacks miss it automatically. it succeeds on all saving throws, and it is immune to all damage and conditions. A creature that uses an action to examine the dragon can determine that it is an illusion by succeeding on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through it and has advantage on saving throws against its breath.

Mass Modify Memory

8th-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action

Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Wizard
Origin: Jack Weighill

You attempt to reshape the memories of many creature. Any number of creatures that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. If you are fighting any of the target creatures, they all have advantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, a target becomes charmed by you for the duration. A charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends for it, and none of the target’s memories are modified.

While this charm lasts, you can affect each of target’s memory of one event that one or more of them experienced within the last 30 days and that lasted no more than 1 hour. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow targets to recall the event with perfect clarity and exacting detail, change their memory of the details of the event, or create a memory of some other event.

You must speak to the target to describe how a target’s memories are affected, and they must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. A creature’s mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description. If the spell ends before you have finished describing the modified memories, the creatures’ memories aren’t altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the spell ends.

A modified memory doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The DM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.

A remove curse or greater restoration spell cast on the target restores a creature’s true memory.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, you can alter the target’s memories of an event that took place up to 1 year ago.

The fortress has four turrets with square bases, each one 20 feet on a side and 30 feet tall, with one turret on each corner.

Each wall is 1 foot thick and is composed of panels that are 10 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Each panel is contiguous with two other panels or one other panel and a turret. You can place up to four stone doors in the fortress’s outer wall.

A small keep stands inside the enclosed area. The keep has a square base that is 50 feet on each side, and it has three floors with 10-foot-high ceilings. Each of the floors can be divided into as many rooms as you like, provided each room is at least 5 feet on each side. The floors of the keep are connected by stone staircases, its walls are 6 inches thick, and interior rooms can have stone doors or open archways as you choose. The keep is furnished and decorated however you like, and it contains sufficient food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to 100 people each day. Furnishings, food, and other objects created by this spell crumble to dust if removed from the fortress.

A staff of one hundred invisible servants obeys any command given to them by creatures you designate when you cast the spell. Each servant functions as if created by the unseen servant spell.

It is immune to poison and psychic damage. Reducing a section of stone to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected sections to buckle and collapse at the DM’s discretion.

50 minutes. Any healing received by a creature other than you in the area is halved.

60 minutes. The plume of smoke from the crystal stops and the spells effects become permanent, only stoppable through the use of a wish spell. You need not concentrate from this point onwards to maintain the effects of the spell.

Tsunami

8th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Sight
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 6 rounds
Classes: Astromancer, Druid
Origin: Player's Handbook

A wall of water springs into existence at a point you choose within range. You can make the wall up to 300 feet long, 300 feet high, and 50 feet thick. The wall lasts for the duration.

When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d10 bludgeoning damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.

When you cast this spell, designate a direction facing away from you. At the start of each of your turns after the wall appears, the wall, along with any creatures in it, moves 50 feet away in the chosen direction. Any Huge or smaller creature inside the wall or whose space the wall enters when it moves must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 12d6 bludgeoning damage. A creature can take this damage only once per round. At the end of the turn, the wall's height is reduced by 30 feet, and the damage creatures take from the spell on subsequent rounds is reduced by 1d6. When the wall reaches 0 feet in height, the spell ends.

A creature caught in the wall can move by swimming. Because of the force of the wave, though, the creature must make a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC in order to move at all. If it fails the check, it can't move this turn. A creature that moves out of the area falls to the ground.

When you cast this spell, a tiny ball of ice forms at a point within range and then blooms into a 60-foot radius blizzard that lasts for the duration. The area is heavily obscured and filled with gale winds. Whenever a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 10d6 cold damage, or half as much on a success.

As a bonus action, you can move the blizzard up to 30 feet. Whenever the blizzard leaves a space on the ground, it leaves behind an icy slush that remains as difficult terrain and lasts until it melts.

You look beyond the barriers of the realms, seeking those that have passed through. You create one of the following effects, which persists for the duration:

Locate Being. You detect the approximate location of a creature you are familiar with. If that creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you know its approximate distance and direction in relation to you. If it is on another plane, you know which plane it resides on.

Sense Travel. You know of any extraplanar travel that travels to and from your plane, as well as where those travelling creatures are coming from, or going to. You instantly learn the type of any creature that you detect in this way.

View Location. As an action, you can gain magical sight to a location that you are familiar with anywhere in the multiverse until the start of your next turn. You see as if you were stood in that location and can move your point of view up to 30 feet as a bonus action on your turn. You may not move your point of view into a location you are unfamiliar with, such as an unexplored room in a mansion, or a side street you’ve never ventured down.
