Wall and Chaos Spells
Acrid Wall
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create an wall off stinging smoke on the ground at a point you can see within range, serving as a wall against movement. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. You can shape the wall in any way you choose so long as it makes one continuous path along the ground. Creatures and objects on the other side of the wall are lightly obscured, and the wall lasts for the duration.
When a creature attempts to enter the wall, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, spends its next action retching and reeling and must spend 1 extra foot of movement for each foot for which it moves through the wall's area. On a success the creature suffers no ill effects. Creatures that don't need to breathe or are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw. Once a creature succeeds on its saving throw against this spell, it is immune to the spell's effects.
A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the wall after 1 round.

Creatures are able to climb over the wall normally, but the wall obscures creatures and provides cover based on its height in the same manner as a nonmagical wall.

Chaos Wall
3rd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 15 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 15 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends.
When a creature attempts to enter the wall, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the target takes 2d8 + 1d6 damage. Choose one of the d8s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack’s damage type, as shown below.
| d8 | Damage Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | Acid |
| 2 | Cold |
| 3 | Fire |
| 4 | Force |
| 5 | Lightning |
| 6 | Poison |
| 7 | Psychic |
| 8 | Thunder |
If you roll the same number on both d8s, the chaotic energy leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice on the same side of the wall and within 30 feet of it. Make an attack roll against the new target. On a hit the target takes 2d8 + 1d6 damage. Choose one of the d8s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack’s damage type, as shown above.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, each target takes 1d6 extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 3rd.

Din of Battle
5th-level illusion
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a stone or piece of rubble)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A cacophony of crashing metal, humanoid screams, and whizzing ammunition erupts in a 30 foot cube within range. Outside the area, the sound seems distant and dim. Each creature that enters or starts its turn inside the area who hears the sound must make a Wisdom saving throw. Creatures immune to being frightened automatically succeed on this saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the target takes 2d8 psychic damage and drops prone. The target believes itself to have been wounded by some unseen weapon, refusing to stand up within the area, attempting to move away from the area as fast as possible, and becoming wary upon entering it again.
Creatures within the area have disadvantage on attack rolls and can't take reaction.
A creature that uses its action to examine the area can determine the sound is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the sound becomes distant and dim to it, and it becomes immune to the spell.
