You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and send out three arcing slashes of magical moonlight.

A creature takes 2d6 force damage plus 2d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

When you cast this spell and after each time you choose the direction for one of the lines, you can fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Odic, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You invoke powerful magic to permanently change your, or another willing creature you touch’s form. Both you and the target decide what it looks like, including height, weight, facial features, sound of voice, hair length, coloration, distinguishing characteristics (if any), and so on. The target must still appear as a member of their race, or a similar subrace, though none of their statistics change. You cannot have the target appear as a creature of a different size than them, and the targets basic shape stays the same. You cannot grow additional limbs on the target.

This spell also cannot remove magical marks or brands, such as a magical tattoo, a rune, or a scar received from powerful magic or an extraplanar entity.

Whilst enraged in this way, the target has disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws (except those made against this spell), and all attack rolls made against it are made at advantage. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the spells effects on a success.

Any creature or object immune to damage from the magic missile spell suffers half damage from this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level, or higher, the spell creates one more missile for each spell slot level expended above 6th.

Arcane Fusion

6th-level transmutation


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

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.

Arcane Gate

6th-level conjuration


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 500 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
  • Classes: Astromancer, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create linked teleportation portals that remain open for the duration. Choose two points on the ground that you can see, one point within 10 feet of you and one point within 500 feet of you. A circular portal, 10 feet in diameter, opens over each point. If the portal would open in the space occupied by a creature, the spell fails, and the casting is lost.

The portals are two-dimensional glowing rings filled with mist, hovering inches from the ground and perpendicular to it at the points you choose. A ring is visible only from one side (your choice), which is the side that functions as a portal.

Any creature or object entering the portal exits from the other portal as if the two were adjacent to each other; passing through a portal from the nonportal side has no effect. The mist that fills each portal is opaque and blocks vision through it. On your turn, you can rotate the rings as a bonus action so that the active side faces in a different direction.

Banshee's Wail

6th-level necromancy


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (A strand of banshee hair)
  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Classes: Bard, Cleric, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Dark Arts

You release a mournful wail that pierces into the mind of those that hear it. Each creature within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8 psychic damage, and falls unconscious. On a success, it takes half damage and suffers no other effect. An unconscious creature wakes up if it takes any damage or if another creature uses its action to shake them awake. A deafened creature automatically succeeds on the save.

Behavioural Sink

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 8 hours
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (ten live rats trapped in a mithril cage worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
  • Duration: Until dispelled
  • Classes: Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You plant the spell’s components in the ground, burying the source of the magic, whilst blanketing a cube area up to 100 feet across with brain-warping magic, straining the minds of those who are exposed to it for extended periods of time. Any creature that takes a long rest in the area must succeed on a Charisma saving throw. The DM keeps track of individual saving throws for each affected character. Should a large number of inconsequential creatures be affected, such as a series of homes occupied by random civilians, the relevant creatures make a collective saving throw for each of them.

Whenever a creature’s number of saving throw failures reaches a multiple of five, it rolls 1d4, reducing its Intelligence score by the selected amount, repeating the process for its Wisdom and Charisma scores. This feature cannot reduce an ability score below 6.

Whenever a creature has its ability scores reduced by this feature, it is likely to experience some kind of mental break or change, such as increased aggression, decreased awareness, loss of social function, or any other effect chosen by the DM. These effects worsen the more failures a creature accumulates.

The spell ends only if a successful dispel magic is cast on the spell’s material component. Casting the dispel evil and good spell on a creature affected by this spell reduces its number of failed saving throws by 10, potentially reversing some of its lost ability scores.

Casting detect magic in the area of the spell shows faint pinkish energy moving about in the air in the spell’s area. Affected creatures appear with pink eyes, the glow more intense the more failed saving throws they have.

Once a creature has failed its saving throw against this spell 50 times, the effects of the spell become permanent, reversable only through the use of a wish spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the maximum area affected by the spell grows in size, increasing to 1,000 feet at 7th level, 1 mile at 8th level and 5 miles at 9th level. The cost of the materials, as well as the number of required rats used in this spell doubles for each spell slot level expended above 6th.

Bigby's Beseiging Bolt

6th level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 300 feet
  • Components: V,S,M (a small stone sprinkled with diamond dust worth at least 50 gp, which the spell consumes)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Blackstaff's Book of 1000 Spells

As part of the action used to cast this spell, and on each of your turns for the duration by using your action, you launch a large bolt of force like that fired from a ballista. You can launch the bolt at a creature or object you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 5d10 force damage. This spell does double damage to objects and structures.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the bolt deals an extra 1d10 force damage for each slot level above 6th.

Blade Barrier

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 90 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
  • Classes: Astromancer, Cleric, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades made of magical energy. The wall appears within range and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain.

When a creature enters the wall's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 6d10 slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Bones of the Earth

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 120 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Astromancer, Druid, Odic, Wizard
  • Origin: Elemental Evil

You cause up to six pillars of stone to burst from places on the ground that you can see within range. Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 30 feet. The ground where a pillar appears must be wide enough for its diameter, and you can target the ground under a creature if that creature is Medium or smaller. Each pillar has AC 17 and 30 hit points. When reduced to 0 hit points, a pillar crumbles into rubble, which creates an area of difficult terrain with a 10-foot radius that lasts until the rubble is cleared. Each 5-foot-diameter portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand.

If a pillar is created under a creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be lifted by the pillar. A creature can choose to fail the save.

If a pillar is prevented from reaching its full height because of a ceiling or other obstacle, a creature on the pillar takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone and restrained, pinched between the pillar and the obstacle. The restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (the creature's choice) against the spell's save DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must immediately crawl into the nearest unoccupied space.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you can create two additional pillars for each slot level above 6th.

Burrow

6th-level transmutation

  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (the claw of a mole)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
  • Classes: Alchemist, Druid, Odic
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

Your touch pulls apart the earth. You gain a burrowing speed of 30 feet, which lasts for the duration. To burrow in this way, you must have both of your hands free.

Additionally, you can burrow through solid rock at half your burrow speed and when you do so, you leave behind a tunnel in your wake large enough to fit creatures of your size or smaller.

Chain Lightning

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 150 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur; a piece of amber, glass, or a crystal rod; and three silver pins)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts.

A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 10d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, one additional bolt leaps from the first target to another target for each slot level above 6th.

Circle of Death

6th-level necromancy


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 150 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (the powder of a crushed black pearl worth at least 500 gp)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Odic, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60-foot-radius sphere from a point within range. Each hostile creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 10d6 necrotic damage and it can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and it’s otherwise unaffected.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Contingency

6th-level dunamancy


  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a statuette of yourself carved from ivory and decorated with gems worth at least 1,500 gp)
  • Duration: 10 days
  • Classes: Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

Choose a spell of 5th level or lower that you can cast, that has a casting time of 1 action, 1 bonus action, or 1 reaction, and that can target you. You cast that spell—called the contingent spell—as part of casting contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn't come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, a contingency cast with water breathing might stipulate that water breathing comes into effect when you are engulfed in water or a similar liquid.

The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then contingency ends. If the contingent spell has a casting time of 1 reaction, the condition for that spell to be cast must also be met for it to take effect. For example, a contingency cast with absorb elements might stipulate that aborb elements comes into effect when you would be reduced to 0 hit points. In this case, absorb elements would require both the chosen circumstance and for you to take the acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage required to cast absorb elements normally.

The contingent spell takes effect only on you, even if it can normally target others. You can use only one contingency spell at a time. If you cast this spell again, the effect of another contingency spell on you ends. Also, contingency ends on you if its material component is ever not on your person.

Create Homunculus

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 hour
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (clay, ash, and mandrake root, all of which the spell consumes, and a jewel-encrusted dagger worth at least 1,000 gp)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Wizard
  • Origin: Xanathar's Guide to Everything

While speaking an intricate incantation, you cut yourself with a jewel-encrusted dagger, taking 2d4 piercing damage that can’t be reduced in any way. You then drip your blood on the spell’s other components and touch them, transforming them into a special construct called a homunculus.

Your homunculus can be sculpted to look however you choose, as long as it still counts as a tiny creature and has both legs and wings when you bring it life.

The statistics of the homunculus are in the Monster Manual. It is your faithful companion, and it dies if you die. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can spend up to half your Hit Dice if the homunculus is on the same plane of existence as you. When you do so, roll each die and add your Constitution modifier to it. Your hit point maximum is reduced by the total, and the homunculus’s hit point maximum and current hit points are both increased by it. This process can reduce you to no lower than 1 hit point, and the change to your and the homunculus’s hit points ends when you finish your next long rest. The reduction to your hit point maximum can’t be removed by any means before then, except by the homunculus‘ death.

You can have only one homunculus at a time. If you cast this spell while your homunculus lives, the spell fails.

Create Undead

6th-level necromancy


  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Range: 10 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (one clay pot filled with grave dirt, one clay pot filled with brackish water, and one 150 gp black onyx stone for each corpse)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Cleric, Odic, Warlock, Wizard

This spell creates more powerful servants of undead. Choose up to two corpses of Medium or Small humanoids within range. Each corpse rises as an Undead creature. The creature uses the Greater Animated Undead statblock. When you cast the spell, choose Ghoul, Mummy, or Wight. The undead resembles a creature of the chosen type. Creatures animated with this spell are your Companions, though you must be within 60 feet of them to command them.

The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which they cease being your Companions. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four Greater Animated Undead, rather than animating new ones. Additionally, you may cast the animate dead spell in this way to reassert control over two Greater Animated Undead, rather than the spell's normal effects.

The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
   A Humanoid slain by this attack rises 24 hours later as a zombie under the wight's control, unless the Humanoid is restored to life or its body is destroyed. The wight can have no more than twelve zombies under its control at one time.

Rotting Fist (Mummy Only). Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 + 4 necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it starts to rot, taking 2d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

If the target is killed by this spell, this number is doubled.

A humanoid killed by this spell has its body unraveled, absorbed into the caster. If you are missing body members (finger, leg, tail, eye, etc.) you instantly regrow any of your choice. The new members take on the likeness of the target but retain their original function.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d10 for each slot level above 5th.

  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (an apple made from solid gold worth at least 100 gp)

  • Classes: Bard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You sow chaos and madness in a 20-foot cube centred on a point that you can see within range. Each creature in the area must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration. A creature charmed in this way is hostile to each other creature that was caught in the area, regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, and is to no other creatures.

Each time a target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Disintegrate

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a lodestone and a pinch of dust)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

A thin beam of energy springs from your pointing finger in a 60-foot-long, 1/2-inch-wide line in a direction you choose. The closest creature or object in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes take 10d6 + 40 force damage. If this damage reduces to the target 0 hit points, it is disintegrated. On a success, the target is unaffected and the next closest creature or object in the line must then make the saving throw. If there are no other creatures or objects in the line, the beam fizzles out and the spell has no effect.

A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of gray dust. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

This spell automatically disintegrates a Large or smaller non-magical object or a creation of magical force. If the target is a Huge or larger object or creation of force, this spell disintegrates a 10-foot-cube portion of it. A magic item is not damaged or destroyed by this spell, but prevents the beam from travelling further.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 3d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Divine Conduit

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self

  • Classes: Cleric
  • Origin: Devout Handbook

When you cast this spell, you transform yourself into an open channel to the Positive Plane, shedding bright light in a 5-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 5 feet for the spell’s duration. Until the spell ends, you gain the following benefits:

  • You are immune to necrotic damage and have resistance to radiant damage.
  • You can use your action to touch a willing creature, granting it temporary hit points equal to 4d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier, which last for 1 minute. Alternatively, you can forgo the temporary hit points to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. This benefit has no effect on undead or constructs.
  • You can move across a liquid surface – such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava – as if it were harmless solid ground. You are not affected by the effects of such a liquid unless you choose to be affected by them, even if you are entirely submerged in them. This benefit does not magically grant you the ability to breathe in such liquids if you are entirely submerged in them.

Drawmij's Instant Summons

You touch an object weighing 10 pounds or less whose longest dimension is 6 feet or less. The spell leaves an invisible mark on its surface and invisibly inscribes the name of the item on the sapphire you use as the material component. Each time you cast this spell, you must use a different sapphire.

At any time thereafter, you can use your action to speak the item's name and crush the sapphire. The item instantly appears in your hand regardless of physical or planar distances, and the spell ends.

If another creature is holding or carrying the item, crushing the sapphire doesn't transport the item to you, but instead you learn who the creature possessing the object is and roughly where that creature is located at that moment.

Dispel magic or a similar effect successfully applied to the sapphire ends this spell's effect.

Dreamsight

You can see and hear as if you were standing in the same location as your spirit. Your spirit cannot attack or cast spells, only observe. Creatures and spells that can detect invisible or ethereal creatures can see your spirit.

If your spirit suffers any damage, it instantly returns to your body, and you remain unconcious for the spell's remaining duration.

You invoke the spirits of nature to protect an area outdoors or underground. The area can be as small as a 30—foot cube or as large as a 90-foot cube. Buildings and other structures are excluded from the affected area. If you cast this spell in the same area every day for a year, the spell lasts until dispelled.

The spell creates the following effects within the area. When you cast this spell, you can specify creatures as friends who are immune to the effects. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects.

The entire warded area radiates magic. A dispel magic cast on the area, if successful, removes only one of the following effects, not the entire area. That spell’s caster chooses which effect to end. Only when all its effects are gone is this spell dispelled.

Solid Fog. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground with thick fog, making them heavily obscured. The fog reaches 10 feet high. In addition, every foot of movement through the fog costs 2 extra feet. To a creature immune to this effect, the fog obscures nothing and looks like soft mist, with motes of green light floating in the air.

Grasping Undergrowth. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground that aren’t filled with fog with grasping weeds and vines, as if they were affected by an entangle spell. To a creature immune to this effect, the weeds and vines feel soft and reshape themselves to serve as temporary seats or beds.

Grove Guardians. You can animate up to four trees in the area, causing them to uproot themselves from the ground. These trees have the same statistics as an awakened tree, which appears in the Monster Manual, except they can’t speak, and their bark is covered with druidic symbols. If any creature not immune to this effect enters the warded area, the grove guardians fight until they have driven off or slain the intruders. The grove guardians also obey your spoken commands (no action required by you) that you issue while in the area. Ifyou don't give them commands and no intruders are present, the grove guardians do nothing. The grove guardians can‘t leave the warded area. When the spell ends, the magic animating them disappears, and the trees take root again if possible.

Additional Spell Effect. You can place your choice of one of the following magical effects within the warded area:

  • A constant gust of wind in two locations of your choice
  • Spike growth in one location of your choice
  • Wind wall in two locations of your choice

To a creature immune to this effect, the winds are a fragrant, gentle breeze, and the area of spike growth is harmless.

Eruption

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 150 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
  • Origin: Devout Handbook

Magma bursts from the ground in a 20-foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point you can see within range. Each creature in the radius must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The ground in the area is considered difficult terrain for the duration.

Each round you maintain concentration on this spell, the eruption produces additional effects on your turn.

Round 2. Clumps of dirt and rock dislodged by the explosion fall from the sky. The area in the cylinder becomes lightly obscured. Each creature in the cylinder must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage and becomes restrained until the spell ends. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t restrained. A creature restrained this way can make a Strength saving throw as an action on its turn, freeing itself on a successful save.

Round 3-5. Poisonous volcanic gas floods the area. The area in the cylinder becomes heavily obscured. Each creature in the cylinder must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 poison damage and is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t poisoned. If a creature enters the area for the first time in a turn while the gas persists, it becomes subject to the effect. A creature poisoned this way makes a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the condition on a successful save.

Round 6-10. The same as Round 3-5, but the targets make their initial Constitution saving throw against the effect each round with advantage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the radius and height of the cylinder each increase by 10 feet for each slot level above 6th.

Eyebite

For the spell's duration, your eyes become an inky void imbued with dread power. One creature of your choice within 60 feet of you that you can see must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by one of the following effects of your choice for the duration. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to target another creature but can't target a creature again if it has succeeded on a saving throw against this casting of eyebite.

Asleep. The target falls unconscious. It wakes up if it takes any damage, or if another creature uses its action to shake the sleeper awake.

Panicked. The target is frightened of you. On each of its turns, the frightened creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest and shortest available route, unless there is nowhere to move. If the target moves to a place at least 60 feet away from you where it can no longer see you, this effect ends.

Sickened. The target has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. At the end of each of its turns, it can make another Wisdom saving throw. If it succeeds, the effect ends.

  • Components: V
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Odic
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You channel every ounce of your energy into an explosive blast of odyllic force that fills a 30-foot-radius sphere around you.

On a failure, a creature takes 8d8 force damage. If your hit point maximum is equal or half your normal hit point maximum when you cast this spell, the spell deals an extra 4d8 necrotic damage. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage.

Find the Path

6th-level divination


  • Casting Time: 1 minute

  • Classes: Astromancer, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Occultist
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

This spell allows you to find the shortest, most direct physical route to a specific fixed location that you are familiar with on the same plane of existence. If you name a destination on another plane of existence, a destination that moves (such as a mobile fortress), or a destination that isn't specific (such as "a green dragon's lair"), the spell fails.

For the duration, as long as you are on the same plane of existence as the destination, you know how far it is and in what direction it lies. while you are traveling there, whenever you are presented with a choice of paths along the way, you automatically determine which path is the shortest and most direct route (but not necessarily the safest route) to the destination.

Fizban's Platinum Shield

6th-level abjuration


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a platinum-plated dragon scale, worth at least 500 gp)

  • Classes: Astromancer, Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Fizban's Treasury of Dragons

You create a field of silvery light that surrounds a creature of your choice within range. The field sheds dim light out to 5 feet. While surrounded by the field, a creature gains the following benefits:

  • The creature has half cover.
  • The creature has resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and poison damage.
  • If the creature is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the creature instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

As a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can move the field to another creature within 60 feet of the field.

Flesh to Flesh

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a scrap of dried flesh)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You transmute the flesh of a creature you can see within range, causing it to rapidly grow around and over itself into horrifying growths. If the target’s body is made from flesh, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have its fat and muscle tissue rapidly expand in horrible, grotesque fashion. A creature who fails its save suffers the following effects, starting at the beginning of its next turn:

  • It falls prone.
  • Its speed is halved.
  • It loses any fly speed it had.
  • It has disadvantage on attack rolls.
  • It automatically fails any Dexterity ability checks or saving throws.

The spell can be ended early by a greater restoration, or wish spell.

If you maintain concentration on the spell for its full duration, the spell’s effects become permanent, and any magical attempts to end them do not take effect until 1 minute has passed.

Flesh to Stone

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a pinch of lime, water, and earth)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Alchemist, Druid, Odic, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

A creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends. If it fails its saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the petrified condition for the duration. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind.

If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the entire possible duration, the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed.

Forbiddance

6th-level abjuration (ritual)


  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (a sprinkling of holy water, rare incense, and powdered ruby worth at least 1,000 gp)
  • Duration: 1 day
  • Classes: Astromancer, Cleric, Occultist
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a ward against magical travel that protects up to 40,000 square feet of floor space to a height of 30 feet above the floor. For the duration, creatures can’t teleport into the area or use portals, such as those created by the gate spell, to enter the area. The spell proofs the area against planar travel, and therefore prevents creatures from accessing the area by way of the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, Feywild, Shadowfell, or the plane shift spell.

In addition, the spell damages types of creatures that you choose when you cast it. Choose one or more of the following: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. When a chosen creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature takes 5d10 radiant or necrotic damage (your choice when you cast this spell).

When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password as it enters the area takes no damage from the spell.

The spell’s area can't overlap with the area of another forbiddance spell. If you cast forbiddance every day for 30 days in the same location, the spell lasts until it is dispelled, and the material components are consumed on the last casting.

  • Range: 30 feet

  • Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

When it inhales, each creature in a 60-foot cone in front of the maw must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, a creature is pulled 30 feet towards the maw and falls prone. On a successfully save, a creature is instead only pulled 15 feet and is not knocked prone.

A creature that is pulled into the maw’s space falls down into a 10-foot wide, 30-foot deep demiplanar pit at the back of the maw’s throat.

A creature that starts its turn inside the maw’s demiplane must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 6d8 acid damage, taking half on a success.

If the spell ends with a creature still inside the maw, that creature reappears prone in the maw’s previously occupied space.

Galvan Force

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 bonus action

You channel powerful lightning energy into your body empowering your speed beyond comprehension, expelling excess energy at the tips of your fingers in palm-sized storm. For the duration, your speed is doubled and opportunity attacks are made against you at disadvantage. Whilst your speed persists in this way, you can move across liquids and vertical surfaces as if they were solid ground.

Additionally, as a part of your bonus action to cast this spell and as a bonus action again on subsequent turns, you can strike a creature, unloading your excess energy into their bodies.

  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

An immobile, faintly shimmering barrier springs into existence in a 10-foot radius around you and remains for the duration. Any spell of 5th level or lower cast from outside the barrier can't affect creatures or objects within it, even if the spell is cast using a higher level spell slot. Such a spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier, but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by such spells.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the barrier blocks spells of one level higher for each slot level above 6th.

  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create a ward that protects up to 2,500 square feet of floor space (an area 50 feet square, or one hundred 5-foot squares or twenty-five 10-foot squares). The warded area can be up to 20 feet tall, and shaped as you desire. You can ward several stories of a stronghold by dividing the area among them, as long as you can walk into each contiguous area while you are casting the spell.

When you cast this spell, you can specify individuals that are unaffected by any or all of the effects that you choose. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects.

Guards and wards creates the following effects within the warded area.

Corridors. Fog fills all the warded corridors, making them heavily obscured. In addition, at each intersection or branching passage offering a choice of direction, there is a 50 percent chance that a creature other than you will believe it is going in the opposite direction from the one it chooses.

Doors. All doors in the warded area are magically locked, as if sealed by an arcane lock spell. In addition, you can cover up to ten doors with an illusion (equivalent to the illusory object function of the minor illusion spell) to make them appear as plain sections of wall.

Stairs. Webs fill all stairs in the warded area from top to bottom, as the web spell. These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away while guards and wards lasts.

Other Spell Effect. You can place your choice of one of the following magical effects within the warded area of the stronghold:

  • Place dancing lights in four corridors. You can designate a simple program that the lights repeat as long as guards and wards lasts.
  • Place magic mouth in two locations.
  • Place stinking cloud in two locations. The vapors appear in the places you designate; they return within 10 minutes if dispersed by wind while guards and wards lasts.
  • Place a constant gust of wind in one corridor or room.
  • Place a suggestion in one location. You select an area of up to 5 feet square, and any creature that enters or passes through the area receives the suggestion mentally.

The whole warded area radiates magic. A dispel magic cast on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect.

You can create a permanently guarded and warded structure by casting this spell there every day for one year.

If the target fails the saving throw, its hit point maximum is reduced for 1 hour by an amount equal to the necrotic damage it took.

A creature that partakes of the feast gains several benefits. The creature is cured of all diseases and poison, becomes immune to poison and being frightened, and makes all Wisdom saving throws with advantage.

At the start of each of the creature’s turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the locusts until the start of its next turn.

Any creature you choose that starts its turn within 20 feet of an affected creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have a swarm of locusts surround them, subjecting them to the spell’s effects.

A creature can use an action on its turns to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC, fighting off the locusts on a success.

Longevity

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Range: Self
  • Components: S, M (an emerald worth 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

This spell has the capacity to restore youth, but it's magic is fickle. Choose an amount of time no greater than 100 years. The DM then rolls on the Longevity table.

Longevity
d100 Result
1–5 You instead become a number of years older equal to the chosen amount of time.
6–10 You become a number of years younger equal to twice the chosen amount of time.
11–25 Roll 2d10. Your age changes by a number of years equal to the result. If the roll is odd, you get younger. If the roll is even, you get older.
26–50 You become a number of years younger equal to one fourth the chosen amount of time.
51–75 You become a number of years younger equal to half the chosen amount of time.
76–00 You become a number of years younger equal to the chosen amount of time.

If this spell would cause you age past your race's average lifespan, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or die from old age. On a success, you have 2d10 years before you die from old age.

Alternatively, if this spell would cause your age to become less than 0, your body is reduced to nothing and you die.

If you provide the heart of a sphinx as a part of cast this spell, the spell consumes the heart, providing one of the following benefits depending on the type of sphinx heart used:


  • Androsphinx. You may choose the result of the DM's roll on the Longevity table.
  • Gynosphinx. The DM rolls on the Longevity table twice and tells you each result. You may choose the result.

Magic Jar

6th-level necromancy


  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a gem, crystal, reliquary, or some other ornamental container worth at least 500 gp)
  • Duration: Until dispelled
  • Classes: Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

Your body falls into a catatonic state as your soul leaves it and enters the container you used for the spell’s material component. While your soul inhabits the container, you are aware of your surroundings as if you were in the container’s space. You can’t move or use reactions. The only action you can take is to project your soul up to 100 feet out of the container, either returning to your living body (and ending the spell) or attempting to possess a humanoids body.

You can attempt to possess any humanoid within 100 feet of you that you can see (creatures warded by a protection from evil and good or magic circle spell can’t be possessed). The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, your soul moves into the target’s body, and the target’s soul becomes trapped in the container. On a success, the target resists your efforts to possess it, and you can’t attempt to possess it again for 24 hours.

Once you possess a creature’s body, you control it. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature, though you retain your alignment and your Intelligence, Wisdom , and Charisma scores. You retain the benefit of your own class features. If the target has any class levels, you can’t use any of its class features.

Meanwhile, the possessed creature’s soul can perceive from the container using its own senses, but it can’t move or take actions at all.

While possessing a body, you can use your action to return from the host body to the container if it is within 100 feet of you, returning the host creature’s soul to its body. If the host body dies while you’re in it, the creature dies, and you must make a Charisma saving throw against your own spellcasting DC. On a success, you return to the container if it is within 100 feet of you. Otherwise, you die.

If the container is destroyed or the spell ends, your soul immediately returns to your body. If your body is more than 100 feet away from you or if your body is dead when you attempt to return to it, you die. If another creature’s soul is in the container when it is destroyed, the creature’s soul returns to its body if the body is alive and within 100 feet. Otherwise, that creature dies.

When the spell ends, the container is destroyed.

Mass Suggestion

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, M (a gem, crystal, reliquary, or some other ornamental container worth at least 500 gp)
  • Duration: 24 hours
  • Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence up to twelve creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.

Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a group of soldiers give all their money to the first beggar they meet. If the condition isn’t met before the spell ends, the activity isn’t performed.

If you or any of your companions damage a creature affected by this spell, the spell ends for that creature.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 7th-level spell slot, the duration is 10 days. When you use an 8th-level spell slot, the duration is 30 days. When you use a 9th-level spell slot, the duration is a year and a day.

Maximilian's Stone Shrapnel

  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, M (a shard of volcanic rock)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Astromancer, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You tear up the earth from beneath your feet, sending it flying in a 20-foot-radius around you. Each creature other than you that's caught in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 6d10 piercing damage and whenever it moves before the end of its next turn, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and is otherwise unaffected.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th-level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d10 per spell slot level expended above 6th.

Mental Prison

6th-level illusion


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Alchemist, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Xanathar's Guide to Everything

You attempt to bind a creature within an illusory cell that only it perceives. One creature you can see within range must make an Intelligence saving throw. The target succeeds automatically if it is immune to being charmed. On a successful save, the target takes 5d10 psychic damage, and the spell ends. On a failed save, the target takes 5d10 psychic damage, and you make the area immediately around the target’s space appear dangerous to it in some way.

You might cause the target to perceive itself as being surrounded by fire, floating razors, or hideous maws filled with dripping teeth. Whatever form the illusion takes, the target can’t see or hear anything beyond it and is restrained for the spell’s duration. If the target is moved out of the illusion, makes a melee attack through it, or reaches any part of its body through it, the target takes 10d10 psychic damage, and the spell ends.

Mind Rot

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (a small silver sculpture of a brain worth at least 100 gp)
  • Duration: 1`minute
  • Classes: Alchemist, Odic, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You infect the mind of a creature you can see within range, causing their brain to begin shutting down. At the start of each of the target's turns for the duration, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it takes 3d10 psychic damage and its Intelligence score is reduced by 1d4. If this reduces its Intelligence to 0, the spell ends. If the target succeeds on three of these saving throws, the spell ends.

The reduction to a creature's Intelligence caused by this spell persists when the spell ends and a creature with an Intelligence score of 0 is stunned until it regains at least one point of Intelligence. A remove curse, heal, or regenerate spell restores the target's Intelligence score.

Move Earth

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 120 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (an iron blade and a small bag containing a mixture of soils - clay, loam, and sand)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 2 hours
  • Classes: Astromancer, Druid, Odic, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

Choose an area of terrain no larger than 40 feet on a side within range. You can reshape dirt, sand, or clay in the area in any manner you choose for the duration. You can raise or lower the area's elevation, create or fill in a trench, erect or flatten a wall, or form a pillar. The extent of any such change can't exceed half the area's largest dimension So, if you affect a 40-foot square, you can create a pillar up to 20 feet high, raise or lower the square's elevation by up to 20 feet, dig a trench up to 20 feet deep, and so on. It takes 10 minutes for these changes to complete.

At the end of every 10 minutes you spend concentrating on the spell you can choose a new area of terrain to affect.

Because the terrain's transformation occurs slowly, creatures in the area can't usually be trapped or injured by the ground's movement.

This spell can't manipulate natural stone or stone construction. Rocks and structures shift to accommodate new terrain. If the way you shape the terrain would make a structure unstable, it might collapse.

Similarly, this spell doesn't directly affect plant growth. The moved earth carries any plants along with it.

Nox's Inhabiting Darkness

6th-level transmutation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 feet
  • Components: S, M (four purple candles)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
  • Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You transform into a bolt of dark energy and fly forward towards a creature within range. If the creature is not willing, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be magically inhabited by you until the spell ends. Undead and constructs are unaffected. Whilst you are inhabiting a creature in this way, you can’t move, take actions, be seen, hear or otherwise sensed, or be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect. You can otherwise sense as if you were in the creature's space and you remain in the target’s space wherever it moves.

Whenever the spell ends, you burst forth from the creature in a violent explosion that fills a 20-foot radius around the creature. Each creature within the area must then make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. If the creature willingly allowed you to inhabit it, it succeeds the saving throw automatically and suffers no damage.

You then appear in an unoccupied space that you can see within 20 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage dealt increases by 2d8 per spell slot level expended above 6th.

Otiluke's Freezing Sphere

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 300 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a small crystal sphere)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Alchemist, Astromancer, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

A frigid globe of cold energy streaks from your fingertips to a point of your choice within range, where it explodes in a 30-foot-radius sphere. Each creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 12d6 cold damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

If the globe strikes a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches over an area 30 feet square. This ice lasts for 1 minute. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water are trapped in the ice. A trapped creature can use an action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC to break free.

You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. A small globe about the size of a sling stone, cool to the touch, appears in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give the globe to can throw the globe (to a range of 40 feet) or hurl it with a sling (to the sling's normal range). It shatters on impact, with the same effect as the normal casting of the spell. You can also set the globe down without shattering it. After 1 minute, if the globe hasn't already shattered, it explodes.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Otto's Irresistible Dance

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 feet
  • Components: V
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Alchemist, Bard, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

Choose one creature that you can see within range. The target begins a comic dance in place: shuffling, tapping its feet, and capering for the duration. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this spell. A dancing creature must use all its movement to dance without leaving its space and has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and attack rolls. While the target is affected by this spell, other creatures have advantage on attack rolls against it. As an action, a dancing creature makes a Wisdom saving throw to regain control of itself. On a successful save, the spell ends.

Penumbral Spires

6th-level conjuration


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 120 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (an onyx blade worth at least 100 gp)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Astromancer, Sorcerer, Warlock
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You conjure four long blades of hardened shadow above your head before flinging them at your enemies. You can hurl the blades at one target or several. Make a ranged spell attack for each blade. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 necrotic damage.

When you hit a creature with a blade, if that creature has any temporary hit points, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it instantly loses any temporary hit points it currently possesses, before the damage of the spell is dealt to the target.

Phosphorescence

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a vial filled with phosphorous and a shard of flint)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Alchemist, Druid, Odic, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You burn brightly with coloured light, creating a vortex of chemical fire around you. You express bright light in a 20-foot radius around yourself and dim-light for a further 20 feet. Any creature that enters the light for the first time or starts its turn there must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. A creature that fails takes 3d8 fire damage and becomes blinded until the start of its next turn. A successful save halves the damage taken.

A creature damaged by this spell is burned by chemical fire, taking 1d6 acid damage at the start of each of its subsequent turns unless it or another creature within 5 feet of it uses its action to put the fire out.

Pinpoint

6th-level divination


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a blank sheet of parchment and handful of diamond dust worth 25 gp, both of which the spell consumes)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You name or describe a specific creature or object you are familiar with. As long as the target is on the same plane of existence as you, you learn its exact location, as well as the distance and direction towards that location. An unwilling creature may make an Intelligence saving throw, avoiding the spell’s detection on a success.

If the target is on another plane of existence, you learn what plane it resides on, as long as that plane is one you are familiar with.

Planar Ally

6th-level conjuration


  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Cleric, Warlock
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You beseech an otherworldly entity for aid. The being must be known to you: a god, a primordial, a demon prince, or some other being of cosmic power. That entity sends a Celestial, an Elemental, or a Fiend loyal to it to aid you, making the creature appear in an unoccupied space within range. If you know a specific creature's name, you can speak that name when you cast this spell to request that creature, though you might get a different creature anyway (DM's choice).

When the creature appears, it is under no compulsion to behave in any particular way. You can ask the creature to perform a service in exchange for payment, but it isn't obliged to do so. The requested task could range from simple (fly us across the chasm, or help us fight a battle) to complex (spy on our enemies, or protect us during our foray into the dungeon). You must be able to communicate with the creature to bargain for its services.

Payment can take a variety of forms. A celestial might require a sizable donation of gold or magic items to an allied temple, while a fiend might demand a living sacrifice or a gift of treasure. Some creatures might exchange their service for a quest undertaken by you.

As a rule of thumb, a task that can be measured in minutes requires a payment worth 100 gp per minute. A task measured in hours requires 1,000 gp per hour. And a task measured in days (up to 10 days) requires 10,000 gp per day. The DM can adjust these payments based on the circumstances under which you cast the spell. If the task is aligned with the creature's ethos, the payment might be halved or even waived. Nonhazardous tasks typically require only half the suggested payment, while especially dangerous tasks might require a greater gift. Creatures rarely accept tasks that seem suicidal.

After the creature completes the task, or when the agreed-upon duration of service expires, the creature returns to its home plane after reporting back to you, if appropriate to the task and if possible. If you are unable to agree on a price for the creature's service, the creature immediately returns to its home plane.

Power Word Courage

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Bard,
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You speak a word of great vigour that strengthens the body of one creature that you can see within range. The target gains 50 temporary hit points, which last for 10 minutes. Whilst a creature has these temporary hit points, it cannot become frightened and it has advantage on attack rolls and saving throws.

Precognition

6th-level divination


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Astromancer, Odic, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You invoke a powerful extrasensory ability in yourself as the world slows down around you. For the duration, you gain an additional reaction to use every round. Additionally, you gain the following benefits:

  • You can make an attack of opportunity whenever a creature leaves your weapon’s reach, regardless of how they leave it, even through teleportation magic.
  • As a reaction when you are targeting with an attack roll, or when you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, you can add +5 to your AC or Dexterity saving throw against the triggered effect.
  • As a reaction when you are targeted by an attack of opportunity, you can choose for the creature to miss its attack. You must do so before it makes its attack roll.

Primordial Ward

6th-level abjuration


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 10 minutes
  • Classes: Alchemist, Druid, Odic
  • Origin: Elemental Evil

You have resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage for the spell’s duration. When you take damage of one of those types, you can use your reaction to gain immunity to that type of damage, including against the triggering damage. If you do so, the resistances end, and you have the immunity until the end of your next turn, at which time the spell ends.

Programmed Illusion

6th-level illusion


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 120 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a bit o f fleece and jade dust worth at least 25 gp)
  • Duration: Until dispelled
  • Classes: Astromancer, Bard, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create an illusion of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon within range that activates when a specific condition occurs. The illusion is imperceptible until then. It must be no larger than a 30-foot cube, and you decide when you cast the spell how the illusion behaves and what sounds it makes. This scripted performance can last up to 5 minutes.

When the condition you specify occurs, the illusion springs into existence and performs in the manner you described. Once the illusion finishes performing, it disappears and remains dormant for 10 minutes. After this time, the illusion can be activated again.

The triggering condition can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the area. For example, you could create an illusion of yourself to appear and warn off others who attempt to open a trapped door, or you could set the illusion to trigger only when a creature says the correct word or phrase.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it 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 creature can see through the image, and any noise it makes sounds hollow to the creature.

Project Image

6th-level illusion


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 500 miles
  • Components: V, S, M (a small replica of you made from materials worth at least 5 gp)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 24 hours
  • Classes: Astromancer, Bard, Wizard
  • Origin: Player's Handbook

You create an illusory copy of yourself that lasts for the duration. The copy can appear at any location within range that you have seen before, regardless of intervening obstacles. The illusion looks and sounds like you but is intangible. If the illusion takes any damage, it disappears, and the spell ends.

You can use your action to move this illusion up to twice your speed, and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose. It mimics your mannerisms perfectly.

You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were in its space. On your turn as a bonus action, you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again. While you are using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it 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 creature can see through the image, and any noise it makes sounds hollow to the creature.

Psychic Crush

6th-level enchantment


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 1 minute
  • Classes: Bard, Warlock, Wizard

You overload the mind of one creature you can see within range, filling its psyche with discordant emotions. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 12d6 psychic damage and is stunned for 1 minute. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and isn’t stunned.

The stunned target can make an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the spell ends on the target.

Qualia

6th-level illusion


  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (the eye of a shrimp and a dog)
  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Classes: Bard, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You alter a creature’s perception, changing how they perceive the world around them. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it perceives one object, phrase, creature variety, or basic sense as another you choose.

For example, a creature might perceive all dogs as demons, see the sky as red, all humanoids as its worst enemy or a specific word as another.

The target’s perception returns to normal when the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the spell duration increases, increasing to 24 hours at 7th level, 30 days at 8th level and 1 year at 9th level.

Rarog

6th-level evocation


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: S, M (a red feather)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You shape the latent heat in the area around you into a burning bolt of fire shaped like a flaming bird, which remains for the duration. As a part of your action to cast this spell, or as a bonus action on subsequent turns, the bird flies out and strikes a creature that you can see within range, before returning to your side. Make a melee spell attack for the bird. On a hit, the target creature takes 3d10 fire damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target is set aflame, taking an additional 2d10 fire damage at the start of each of its turns until it or another creature uses an action to put the flames out.

At Higher Levels. When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the spell’s initial damage increases by 1d10 per spell slot level expended above 6th.

  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Bard, Odic, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You touch a creature and begin forcibly rooting through its mind. When you cast this spell and as an action on subsequent turns, you can speak a question. The target must then succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be forced to telepathically transmit to you an answer to that question. You understand its answer, even if you don’t share a language with the target. The answer is truthful to the best of the target’s knowledge and you learn how certain it is of its answer’s accuracy.

The spell ends early if the target takes damage or dies, or you ever stop touching it.

Refraction

6th-level dunamancy


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 feet

  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Bard, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You create a refracted, crystalline image of a Medium or smaller creature that you can see within range. The refraction appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. The refraction is mostly corporeal and is an exact reflection of the target creature. The refraction has the exact statistics, abilities, actions and current resources (such as expended spell slots) that the target has, with the following alterations.

  • Its current and hit point maximum are equal to four times your level, or the target’s current hit points, whichever is lower.
  • The refraction reduces the results of all damage rolls it makes by half.

The swarm is your Companion, but it spends its turn attacking the target to the best of its ability instead of following any direct orders and it speaks only to cast spells.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the size category of creature you can affect with this spell increases by one for each slot level above 6th.

  • Your jump distance is tripled and you may use your spellcasting ability modifier, rather than Strength, when determining the distance that you can jump.
  • You gain advantage on attack rolls.

Sol Ring

6th-level dunamancy


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to a minute
  • Classes: Astromancer, Sorcerer, Wizard
  • Origin: Jack Weighill

You form a gravitational ring of burning starlight that spins around you for the duration, forming in a 10-foot radius, 1-foot thick, 1-foot tall ring of celestial energy. The ring moves with you, and can pass through solid objects as if they weren’t there. Any creature that passes through a space occupied by the ring for the first time each turn must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 5d4 fire damage, plus 5d4 radiant damage, or half as much on a success.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th-level or higher, both the radiant and the fire damage dealt by the spell increase by 1d4 for each spell level expended above 6th.
