As an action, your charm becomes extraordinarily disarming to a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters. Make a Persuasion check contested by the creature’s Insight check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, the creature is repelled by you for the duration or until you are incapacitated. While repelled by you, it has disadvantage on attacks made against you, and must make a Will saving throw each time it attempts to move into a space that is within 5 meters of you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, the target’s movement isn’t restricted for that turn. The effect ends if you attack or damage the creature or if you cast a spell or use a maneuver or concoction that targets the creature.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isn’t hostile to you, it is charmed by you for the duration. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.
As a reaction, which you use when a creature makes an opportunity attack against you, you position yourself to force your opponent off balance.
If the enemy’s attack misses, you can make one melee weapon attack against the creature.
If the enemy’s attack hits, one ally within 1 meter of the enemy can make one melee weapon attack against the creature.
You must use this maneuver before the enemy’s roll is revealed.
Enhance
If you or your ally hit, you add the stamina die to the attack’s damage roll for each additional stamina die expended.
As a reaction, which you use when a creature that you can see within 2 meters of you attacks you, you can try to redirect the attack, provided that another creature is within 1 meter of you and within the attack’s range. The attacker must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or it must target that creature. If multiple creatures are within 1 meter of you and within the attack’s range, the attacker chooses which one to target.
You must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses.
As part of your move, as long as you aren’t encumbered by weight, you can fly into the air with a flying speed equal to your walking speed for the duration.
Spells
Gust
As an action, you seize the air and compel it to create one of the following effects at a point you can see within 5 meters:
- One Medium or smaller creature that must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or be pushed 2 meters away from you.
- You create a small blast of air that reduces any burning condition by 1 on a creature or object and is capable of moving one object that is neither held nor carried and that weighs no more than 2 kilos. The object is pushed 2 meters away from you. It isn’t pushed with enough force to cause damage.
- You create a harmless sensory effect using air, such as causing leaves to rustle, wind to slam shutters closed, or your clothing to ripple in a breeze.
At higher levels
You can affect a creature of a larger size, the target is pushed an additional 1 meter, and the object’s maximum weight increases when you reach 9th level (Large or smaller; 3 meters; 5 kilos) and 17th level (Huge or smaller; 4 meters; 7 kilos).
1 minute
As an action, you can manipulate sound within 5 meters. You create one of the following magical effects.
- You create an instantaneous sound whose volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, ominous whispers, or any other sound you choose.
- Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal.
- You whisper words that can clearly be heard by up to 4 creatures within 10 meters. Other creatures have disadvantage on Perception checks to hear your words.
- You can make a creature’s voice or an object’s sound half as quiet or twice as loud.
- You can alter the pitch of a sound, making it high-pitched or low-pitched.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect on your turn (no action required).
5 minutes
As an action, you provide succor to an ailing creature that you can touch, masking its suffering for the duration.
The creature no longer feels any physical pain or discomfort.
A creature can use an action to determine why it suddenly feels no pain, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it becomes aware of the illusion and is immune to this spell for the next 24 hours.
1 minute
As an action, you create a sound or an image of an object within 5 meters that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it on your turn (no action required) or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 1-meter cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
A creature can use an action to examine the sound or image, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that it is an illusion. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.
The illusion can be created to appear as a threatening creature just out of sight of a creature within 10 meters that you can see. If you so, the spell ends and the creature must make a Will saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 1d2 psychic damage, can’t take reactions until the end of its next turn, and the next attack made against it has advantage if it is made before the end of your next turn.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
At higher levels
This spell’s damage increases by 1d2 when you reach 9th level (2d2) and 17th level (3d2).
1 minute
As an action, you manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within 5 meters. You create one of the following magical effects.
- Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal.
- You cause flames to flicker, brighten, dim, or change color.
- You cause harmless tremors in the ground.
- You create an instantaneous sound, such as a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, or ominous whispers.
- You instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
- You instantaneously cause an unlocked door or window to fly open or slam shut.
- You alter the appearance of your eyes.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect on your turn (no action required).
As a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less that you can see, you can redirect attacks with gusts of air. The triggering attack is made with disadvantage. You can do so after the roll but before any effects of the roll occur. Subsequent attacks made against you are made with disadvantage until the start of your next turn.
If the roll already has disadvantage, you cannot apply another instance of disadvantage.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana to trigger the spell when a creature that you can see within 10 meters is attacked. The attacked creature gains the benefits instead.
Blur
1 minute/mana
As an action, your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attacks made against you. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn’t rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell as a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less. The attacker must make an additional roll and use the worst result and the duration changes to the end of your next turn.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you shape and alter existing sounds within 20 meters. You can target one sound, such as a person speaking or singing, a group of related sounds such as the patter of many raindrops or the tramp of soldiers passing by, or all sounds in a sphere centered on a point. A sound as quiet as a snapping finger can be controlled.
You can entirely muffle a noise to make no sound at all or magnify a sound to such loudness that it drowns out all other conversation in the immediate area. In this way, you can provide yourself or any creature with advantage on Stealth and audio-based Perception checks.
You can substitute any sound you have heard for the target sound. If you attempt to exactly duplicate the voice of a specific individual, or an inherently terrifying sound (such as a dragon’s roar), you must succeed on a Deception check with advantage opposed by the intended listener’s passive Insight to avoid arousing suspicion.
Alternatively, you can use up the spell in an instant. You do this by modulating a sound into a one-time destructive impetus that shatters nonmagical, unattended objects of crystal, glass, ceramics, or porcelain (vials, bottles, flasks, jugs, mirrors, and so forth) in the area.
As a reaction, which you use when another creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters makes a skill check or a saving throw, you can use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of the creature. The creature makes the roll with disadvantage. The creature is immune if it is a construct or an undead, can’t hear you, or is immune to being charmed. You can do so after the roll but before any effects of the roll occur.
If the roll already has advantage or disadvantage, you cannot apply another instance of advantage or disadvantage and you must use this before the roll to cancel out any advantage or disadvantage.
Augment
You can use cutting words against one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
As an action, winds swirl around you in a spiral form. Choose to have the wind rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Each creature other than you in a sphere centered on you must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 5d4 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 2 meters in a straight line, either clockwise or counterclockwise if it is Medium or smaller.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is pushed 4 meters in a straight line, either clockwise or counterclockwise if it is Medium or smaller.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
The strong wind (at least 30 kilometers per hour) keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the whirlwind fly upward. Arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the whirlwind are deflected upward and automatically miss. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.)
Augment
You can increase the damage by 3d4, push each creature an additional meter, and affect a creature of a larger size for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 1 additional mana so the cyclone swirls continuously. The duration changes to 1 minute/mana, concentration and the winds swirl around you in an aura shaped as a sphere. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you.
Whenever a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make the Reflex saving throw.
You can change the direction of the cyclone as an action.
The damage is reduced to 3d4 and additional augments to the damage increase the damage by 1d4 for every two additional mana expended, instead of the normal increase.
As a reaction, which you use when you make a Deception check, your words entice the gullible. You make the roll with advantage. You can do so after the roll but before any effects of the roll occur.
If the roll already has advantage or disadvantage, you cannot apply another instance of advantage or disadvantage and you must use this before the roll to cancel out any advantage or disadvantage.
(ritual); concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you sense the presence of magic within 5 meters of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use an action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its theme, if any.
The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 30 centimeters of stone, 2 centimeters of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 1 meter of wood or dirt.
If you touch a creature or object for 5 minutes, you can determine the magic affecting it. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it. If it is a creature, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.
1 hour/mana
As an action, you change the appearance of a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters. You give the creature a new, illusory, appearance. An unwilling creature can make a Will saving throw, and if it succeeds, it is unaffected by this spell.
The spell disguises physical appearance as well as clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment. You can make the creature seem up to 30 centimeters shorter or taller and appear thin, fat, or in between. You can’t change a creature’s body type, so you must choose a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The spell lasts for the duration, unless you dismiss it on your turn (no action required).
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to a creature’s outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel the creature’s head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.
A creature can use an action to inspect a creature, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that the creature is disguised.
Augment
You can target two additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you attempt to falsify one of a creature’s senses. Choose a creature that you can touch or see within 100 meters who must make a Will saving throw.
On a failure, the target thinks it sees, hears, smells, tastes, or feels something other than what its senses actually report.
You can’t create a sensation where none exists, nor make the target completely oblivious to a sensation, but you can replace the specifics of one sensation with different specifics. For instance, you could make a human look like a dwarf (or one human look like another specific human), a closed door look like it is open, a vat of acid smell like rose water, a parrot look like a bookend, stale rations taste like fresh fruit, a light pat feel like a dagger thrust, a scream sound like the howling wind, and so on.
You can switch between senses you falsify round by round. You can’t alter the size of an object by more than 50% by using this spell. Thus, you couldn’t make a castle look like a hovel, but you could make it look like a different castle, or a rough hillock of approximately the same size.
Because you override a victim’s senses, you can fool a victim who is using true seeing or some other method of gathering information.
Augment
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
5 minutes/mana
As an action, choose up to five willing creatures within 10 meters. A creature’s rate of descent while falling slows to 10 meters per round until the spell ends. If the creature lands before the spell ends, it takes no falling damage and can land on its feet.
Augment
You can target five additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
Feather Fell
5 minutes/mana
As a reaction, which you use when you or a creature within 10 meters of you falls, choose up to two willing falling creatures within 10 meters. A creature’s rate of descent while falling slows to 10 meters per round until the spell ends. If the creature lands before the spell ends, it takes no falling damage and can land on its feet.
Augment
You can target three additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
concentration, 1 hour/mana
As an action, you create a sphere twice as big as normal of fog centered on a point within 20 meters. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 15 kilometers per hour) disperses it. Creatures in the area are wet while within the fog and remain wet until the end of their turn that they leave the area.
3 hours/mana
As an action, you touch a willing creature who isn’t wearing armor, and a current of air surrounds it until the spell ends, redirecting attacks away from its body. The target’s Defense becomes 13 + half its Aptitude Bonus (min 1) + its Dexterity (max 4). The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell on your turn (no action required).
As an action, you unleash a strong gust of wind. Each creature in a cone or line must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 2 meters away from you following the direction of the cone or line if it is Medium or smaller.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is pushed 4 meters away from you following the direction of the cone or line if it is Medium or smaller.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
The gust disperses gas or vapor, and it extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50 percent chance to extinguish them. Additionally, any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1.
Any Medium or smaller creature in the area moves at half speed when it moves closer to the spell’s origin.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 1d8, push each creature an additional meter, and affect a creature of a larger size for each additional mana expended.
1 hour/mana
As an action, you can hover off the ground for the duration. You can still move as normal, though you are suspended 2 centimeters above any solid surface surface. While hovering you gain the following benefits:
- You don’t leave footprints.
- You ignore difficult terrains and ground-based hazards like slippery ice, muddy terrain, quicksand, the grease spell, and caltrops.
- You have advantage on Stealth checks to move silently.
This effect ends if you are incapacitated.
Augment
You can target two additional willing creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them and must remain within 5 meters of you or they stop hovering.
(ritual); 10 days
As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you write on parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material and imbue it with a potent illusion that lasts for the duration.
To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it were written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know.
Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear.
A creature with truesight can read the hidden message.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a sphere. The image appears at a spot within 20 meters and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn’t accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.
As long as you are within 20 meters of the illusion, you can use an action to cause the image to move up to 5 meters to a space you can see, but the illusion must remain within 20 meters of you. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.
For the duration, you can cast spells as though you were in the illusion’s space, but you must use your own senses.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature can use an action to examine the image, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that it is an illusion. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and any other sensory qualities of the image become faint to the creature.
Augment
Major Image. You can expend 1 additional mana so the image seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can’t create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal concussion damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte’s stench). Additionally, when you move the illusion you can cause it to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.
Indefinite. You can expend 1 additional mana so the spell lasts until dispelled, without requiring your concentration.
Programmed Image. You can expend 2 additional mana so the illusion activates when a specific condition occurs. The illusion is imperceptible until then. It must be no larger than a 5-meter 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 5 meters 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.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As an action, you become invisible for the duration. Anything you are wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on your person. The spell ends if you attack, throw a concoction, use a maneuver, or cast a spell.
Augment
Shared Invisibility. You can target two additional creatures or objects for each additional mana expended. The creatures and objects must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
Continued Invisibility. You can expend 1 additional mana to change the duration to 1 hour/mana.
Mislead. You can expend 1 additional mana to create an illusory double of yourself where you are standing when you turn invisible.
You can use an action to move your illusory double up to twice your speed and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.
You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were located where it is. On each of your turns as an 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.
Misty Escape. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell as a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less. Change the duration to instantaneous. You can turn invisible and teleport up to 10 meters to an unoccupied space you can see. You halve the attack’s damage against you. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.
Greater Invisibility. You can expend 3 additional mana so the spell does not end for a target that attacks, throws a concoction, uses a maneuver, or casts a spell.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you raise your hands to the sky as you rise vertically, up to 5 meters, and remain suspended there for the duration.
You can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as a wall or a ceiling), which allows you to move as if you were climbing. Once on your turn, you can change your altitude by up to 5 meters in either direction.
If you are still aloft when the effect ends, you descend 10 meters per round for 1 minute until you lands, which you do safely. If you can’t land after 1 minute, you fall the remaining distance.
Augment
You can target one additional willing creature or object within 10 meters for each additional mana expended. The creatures and objects must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them. The spell can levitate a Medium or smaller creature or objects that weighs up to 150 kilos. Once on your turn, you can change the altitude of a target within 10 meters by up to 5 meters in either direction. You can affect a creature of a larger size and an object that weighs 150 kilos more for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 1 additional mana to target a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must succeed on a Fortitude save or it is levitated, up to 5 meters, and remains suspended there for the duration. The spell can levitate a Medium or smaller creature. Once on your turn, you can change the altitude of a target within 10 meters by up to 5 meters in either direction. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. You can affect a creature of a larger size for each additional mana expended.
Fly. You can expend 1 additional mana and touch a willing creature so the creature gains a flying speed of 10 meters for the duration.
(ritual)
As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you implant a message within an object you can touch or see within 5 meters until the spell is dispelled, a message that is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object that you can touch or see and that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature. Then speak the message, which must be 25 words or less, though it can be delivered over as long as 10 minutes. Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the spell to deliver your message.
When that circumstance occurs, a magical mouth appears on the object and recites the message in your voice and at the same volume you spoke. If the object you chose has a mouth or something that looks like a mouth (for example, the mouth of a statue), the magical mouth appears there so that the words appear to come from the object’s mouth. When you cast this spell, you can have the spell end after it delivers its message, or it can remain and repeat its message whenever the trigger occurs.
The triggering circumstance can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 5 meters of the object. For example, you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves within 5 meters of the object or when a silver bell rings within 5 meters of it.
1 minute/mana
As an action, three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it’s impossible to track which image is real. You can dismiss the illusory duplicates on your turn (no action required).
Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell’s duration, roll 2d10 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.
If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 9 or higher to change the attack’s target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll a 10 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher. A duplicate’s Defense equals 11 + half your Aptitude Bonus (min 1) + your Dexterity. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed.
A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.
A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can’t see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.
Augment
Illusory Self. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell as a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less.
As an action, you shape two illusory duplicates of yourself that attack simultaneously from different directions as you make a weapon attack with advantage.
On a hit, add 1d10 + your spellcasting ability to the attack’s damage roll.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 2d10 for each additional mana expended.
As a reaction, which you use when a creature that you can touch or see within 2 meters of you attacks you, you can try to redirect the attack, provided that another creature is within 1 meter of you and within the attack’s range. The attacker must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or it must target that creature. If multiple creatures are within 1 meter of you and within the attack’s range, the attacker chooses which one to target.
You must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses.
1 hour/mana
As an action, a veil of shadows and silence covers you, masking you from detection. For the duration, you have advantage on Stealth checks and can’t be tracked except by magical means. A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana so each creature you choose within 5 meters of you (including you) has advantage on Stealth checks and can’t be tracked except by magical means.
1 hour/mana
As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, a Large quasi-real, horselike creature appears on the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice within 5 meters. You decide the creature’s appearance, but it has smoke-colored, insubstantial hooves that make no sound and it is equipped with a saddle, bit, and bridle. Any of the equipment created by the spell vanishes in a puff of smoke if it is carried more than 2 meters away from the steed.
For the duration, you or a creature you choose can ride the steed. The creature uses the statistics for a riding horse, except it has a speed of 20 meters and can travel 15 kilometers in an hour, or 25 kilometers at a fast pace. When the spell ends, the steed gradually fades, giving the rider 1 minute to dismount. The spell ends if you dismiss it on your turn (no action required) or if the steed takes any damage.
The steed can ride over sandy, muddy, or even swampy ground without difficulty or a decrease in speed.
Augment
You can create two additional steeds for each additional mana expended.
Water Steed. You can expend 1 additional mana so the steed can walk on water (per the water walk spell).
Flying Steed. You can expend 1 additional mana so the steed can fly at its speed.
(ritual); concentration, 1 minute/mana
As an action, no sound can pass through a sphere that surrounds you. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.
Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to concussion damage that originates outside the sphere.
Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent on that spot.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana so no sound can be created within the sphere. Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to concussion damage, creatures are deafened while entirely inside the sphere, and casting a spell that requires words to be spoken is impossible inside the sphere.
You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell centered on a point within 20 meters.
You can expend 1 additional mana to change the duration to 5 minutes/mana.
As an action, you pull the breath from a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw. If the creature doesn’t breathe, the spell has no effect on it.
On a failure, it loses 2d10 health and is deafened, can’t speak, and can’t use breath weapons until the end of its next turn.
On a critical failure, it loses twice as much health.
On a success, it loses half as much health.
On a critical success, it loses no health.
Augment
You can increase the health lost by 3d10 for each additional mana expended.
3 hours/mana
As an action, objects that you carry are buoyed by gusts of wind, gravitational forces, or telekinetic energy as your carrying capacity doubles.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana to target a willing creature you touch.
As an action, gusts of wind lift a Medium or smaller creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters into the air as it must make a Reflex saving throw. A creature can willingly fail this save.
On a failure, it is lifted up to 6 meters into the air. It falls unless it has some means to stay aloft.
Augment
You can affect a creature of a larger size and increase the lifted distance by 7 meters for each additional mana expended.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, wind whirls around a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. It gains one of the following benefits for the duration:
- It gains a +2 bonus to Defense.
- Ranged weapon attacks made against it have disadvantage.
- It has advantage on saving throws against the burning condition.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana to give both benefits to the target.
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended, though the spell then must be cast as two actions. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
As an action, you send a short message of twenty-five words or less to a creature with which you are familiar within 10 kilometers. If the creature is not within 10 kilometers the message is not received.
The creature hears the message whispered by the wind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately.
Augment
You can send an additional twenty-five words for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 1 additional mana so you can send the message across any distance.
As part of your move, as long as you aren’t encumbered by weight, you can fly into the air with a flying speed equal to your walking speed for the duration.
As an action, winds lift you into the air, allowing you to fly up to 5 meters without provoking opportunity attacks. If you move at least 3 meters straight toward a creature, make a weapon attack against it.
On a hit, add 2d6 + your spellcasting ability to the attack’s damage roll.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 4d6 for each additional mana expended.
(ritual); 1 hour/mana
As two actions, you swirl your hand in a circular motion to create a bubble of air around the head of a willing creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters. The air allows the creature to breathe and it continuously renews itself.
Augment
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As two actions, you call forth an air elemental which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 meters. The elemental is an air elemental companion, using 2 resources. The creature has no mana or stamina dice, but you can infuse it with mana, ki, or stamina dice by expending mana up to your mana limit or ki up to double your mana limit. For each mana or 2 ki you expend, the elemental gains 1 mana or 2 stamina dice. The elemental is friendly to you and your companions, and it disappears when it drops to 0 health or when the spell ends.
Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
Augment
You can use an additional resource for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 2 additional mana to call forth another elemental.
Invisible Stalker. You can expend 2 additional mana to summon an invisible stalker instead of an air elemental.
An invisible stalker is an air elemental that has been summoned from its native plane and transformed by powerful magic. Its sole purpose is to hunt down creatures and retrieve objects for its summoner. When it is defeated or the magic that binds it expires, an invisible stalker vanishes in a gust of wind.
Directed Hunter. When an invisible stalker is created, it stays at its summoner’s side until it is given a task to perform. If an assignment doesn’t involve hunting down and slaying a specific creature or recovering an object, the magic that created the invisible stalker ends and the elemental is released. Otherwise, it completes the task, then returns to its summoner for more commands, forced to serve until the magic that binds it expires. If its summoner dies in the interim, the invisible stalker vanishes after completing its task. An invisible stalker is an unwilling servant at best. It resents any undertaking assigned to it. A mission that requires significant time might drive the invisible stalker to pervert the intent of a command unless it is worded carefully.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As two actions, you take control of the air in a 10-meter cube that you can see within 100 meters. Choose one of the following effects when you cast the spell. The effect lasts for the duration, unless you use an action on a later turn to switch to a different effect. You can also use an action to temporarily halt the effect, to restart one you’ve halted, or move the cube up to 5 meters within 100 meters.
Gusts. A wind picks up within the cube, continually blowing in a horizontal direction that you choose. You choose the intensity of the wind: calm, moderate, or strong. If the wind is moderate or strong, ranged weapon attacks that pass through it or that are made against targets within the cube have disadvantage on the roll and any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1. If the wind is strong, any creature moving against the wind’s speed is halved.
Downdraft. You cause a sustained blast of strong wind (at least 30 kilometers per hour) to blow downward from the top of the cube. Ranged weapon attacks that pass through the cube or that are made against targets within it have disadvantage on the roll and any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1. A creature must make a Reflex saving throw if it flies into the cube for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there flying.
On a failure, the creature is knocked prone.
Updraft. You cause a sustained updraft within the cube, rising upward from the cube’s bottom edge. Creatures that end a fall within the cube take only half damage from the fall. When a creature in the cube makes a vertical jump, the creature can jump up to 2 meters higher than normal.
While the winds are not halted they have the following effects:
- They deafens creatures in its area.
- They extinguishes unprotected flames in its area that are torch-sized or smaller.
- Any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1
- They hedge out vapor, gas, and fog that can be dispersed by strong wind.
- The area is difficult terrain for creatures other than you.
- Ranged weapon attacks have disadvantage if the attack passes in or out of the wind.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters must make a Will saving throw.
On a failure, it is plunged into an illusory realm as it is charmed or frightened by you for the duration. This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage.
Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty realm, the appearance of which you choose. The creature can see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion.
A creature can repeat the saving throw with disadvantage at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Augment
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
3 hours/mana
As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you shape the dreams of a creature known to you. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a messenger.
While in the trance, the messenger is aware of its surroundings, but is immobilized and incapacitated. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw, which it does with disadvantage if if you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or similar portion of the creature’s body. If the creature isn’t on the same plane of existence as you, isn’t asleep, or doesn’t sleep, the spell has no effect on it.
On a failure, the messenger appears in the target’s dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains asleep, through the duration of the spell. The messenger can also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes, objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early. The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking.
Once during the dream, the target can choose to make a Will saving throw to end its effect.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, choose an unoccupied 1-meter cube of air that you can see within 20 meters. An elemental force that resembles a dust devil appears in the cube.
A creature that moves within 1 meter of the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 2d10 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 3 meters away if it is Large or smaller.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is pushed 6 meters away if it is Large or smaller.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
At the start of each of your turns if the dust devil is within 20 meters of you, you can cause it to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move it up to 10 meters.
Additionally, any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1.
If the dust devil moves over sand, dust, loose dirt, or small gravel, it sucks up the material and forms a 2-meter radius cloud of debris around itself that lasts until the start of your next turn. The cloud heavily obscures its area.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 1d10, push each creature an additional meter, and affect a creature of a larger size for each additional mana expended.
concentration, 1 hour/mana
As two actions, you, along with everything you’re wearing and carrying, transforms into a misty cloud. The spell ends if you drop to 0 health.
While in this form, the following rules apply:
- your only method of movement is a flying speed of 2 meters (hover)
- you can enter and occupy the space of another creature
- you have resistance to nonmagical damage and are immune to the exhausted, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, and restrained conditions
- you have advantage on Reflex and Fortitude saving throws
- you can move through a space as narrow as 2 centimeters wide without squeezing, though treat liquids as though they were solid surfaces.
- you can’t fall and remain hovering in the air even when stunned or otherwise incapacitated.
- you can’t talk, manipulate objects, attack, use maneuvers, or cast spells. Any objects you were carrying or holding can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with.
- if you are burning, the condition ends.
- the only actions you can take in this form are the Dash action or to revert to your normal form. Until the spell ends, as two actions, you can revert to cloud form.
If you are in cloud form and flying when the effect ends, you descends 10 meters per round for 1 minute until you land, which you do safely. If you can’t land after 1 minute, you fall the remaining distance.
Augment
You can target two additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
Wind Walk. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast this spell without concentration and modify the effect so your flying speed increases to 100 meters. You can target five additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, you create a twisting pattern of colors that weaves through the air inside a sphere within 10 meters. The pattern appears for a moment and vanishes. Each creature in a sphere centered on that point must make a Will saving throw. If the creature can’t see the pattern, the spell has no effect on it.
On a failure, it is charmed for the duration. While charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and immobilized.
A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
The spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor.
As two actions, you remove all the oxygen in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters. Any burning creature in the area stops burning. Each creature in a sphere centered on that point must make a Fortitude saving throw. If the creature doesn’t breathe, the spell has no effect on it.
On a failure, it loses 3d6 health and is deafened, can’t speak, and can’t use breath weapons until the end of its next turn.
On a critical failure, it loses twice as much health.
On a success, it loses half as much health.
On a critical success, it loses no health.
Augment
You can increase the health lost by 1d6 for each additional mana expended.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, you create a Huge dragon in an unoccupied space that you can see within 20 meters. The illusion lasts for the duration and occupies its space, as if it were a creature.
When the illusion appears, each creature of your choice in a sphere twice as big as normal around it and that can see it must succeed on a Will saving throw or become frightened of it for the duration. If a frightened creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to the illusion, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
At the start of each of your turns if the dragon is within 20 meters of you, you can cause it to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move it up to 10 meters.
A creature can use an action to examine the dragon, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that it is an illusion. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through it and has advantage on saving throws against it.
Augment
You can expend 2 additional mana so the illusion becomes tangible, but attacks miss it automatically, it succeeds on all saving throws, and it is immune to all damage and conditions. The dragon gains a breath weapon. When you create the dragon, choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, or poison. The breath weapon can be used at any point during its movement to exhale a blast of energy in a cone or line originating from its space. Each creature in the area must make a Will saving throw, taking 2d10 damage of the chosen damage type on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
24 hours
As two actions, you place an illusion on a creature or an object you touch so that divination spells reveal false information about it. The target can be a willing creature or an object that isn’t being carried or worn by another creature.
When you cast the spell, choose one or both of the following effects. The effect lasts for the duration. If you cast this spell on the same creature or object every day for 30 days, placing the same effect on it each time, the illusion lasts until it is dispelled.
False Aura. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects, such as detect magic, that detect magical auras. You can make a nonmagical object appear magical, a magical object appear nonmagical, or change the object’s magical aura so that it appears to belong to a specific theme that you choose. When you use this effect on an object, you can make the false magic apparent to any creature that handles the item.
Mask. You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect creature types, such as a acolyte’s Divine Sense or the trigger of a symbol spell. You choose a creature type and other spells and magical effects treat the target as if it were a creature of that type.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, you craft an illusion that takes root in the mind of a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must make a Will saving throw. If the creature is a construct or an undead, the spell has no effect on it.
On a failure, you create a phantasmal object, creature, or other visible phenomenon of your choice that is no larger than a 2-meter cube and that is perceivable only to the target for the duration. The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and other stimuli, also evident only to the creature.
A creature can use an action to examine the phantasm, making a skill check using Insight (Intelligence) against your spell save Difficulty. If the check succeeds, the target realizes that the phantasm is an illusion, and the spell ends.
While a target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. The target rationalizes any illogical outcomes from interacting with the phantasm. For example, a target attempting to walk across a phantasmal bridge that spans a chasm falls once it steps onto the bridge. If the target survives the fall, it still believes that the bridge exists and comes up with some other explanation for its fall—it was pushed, it slipped, or a strong wind (at least 30 kilometers per hour) might have knocked it off.
An affected target is so convinced of the phantasm’s reality that it can even take damage from the illusion. A phantasm created to appear as a creature can attack the target. Similarly, a phantasm created to appear as fire, a pool of acid, or lava can burn the target. Each round on your turn, the phantasm can deal 1d6 psychic damage to the target if it is in the phantasm’s area or within 1 meter of the phantasm, provided that the illusion is of a creature or hazard that could logically deal damage, such as by attacking. The target perceives the damage as a type appropriate to the illusion.
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As two actions, a wall of strong wind rises from the ground at a point within 20 meters and lasts for the duration. The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and doesn’t need to be vertical or rest on any firm foundation. When the wall appears, choose a direction for the wind to blow. The wall’s space is difficult terrain. A creature that enters the wall’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 3 meters away from you following the direction of the wind if it is Large or smaller.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is pushed 6 meters away from you following the direction of the wind if it is Large or smaller.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
The strong wind keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Small or smaller flying creatures or objects can’t pass through the wall. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the wall fly upward. Arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the wall are deflected upward and automatically miss. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.) Creatures in gaseous form can’t pass through it. Additionally, any burning creature in the area has the burning condition reduced by 1.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 2d6, push each creature an additional meter, and affect a creature of a larger size for each additional mana expended.
