The GM chooses from the following possible omens:

  • Weal, for good results
  • Woe, for bad results
  • Weal and woe, for both good and bad results

The spell doesn’t take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

When you cast this spell, choose the nature of the curse from the following options:

  • Choose one ability. While cursed, the creature has disadvantage on skill checks made with that ability.

  • While cursed, the creature is blinded or deafened (your choice).
  • While cursed, the creature can not regain health.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

1 minute

As two actions, you make a calming gesture, and up to three willing creatures that you can touch or see within 5 meters fall unconscious for the duration. This spell ends for a creature if it takes damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake. If a target remains unconscious for the full duration, that target gains the benefit of a short rest.

A character can’t benefit from a short rest more than once every four hours, can’t benefit from more than two short rests before they take a long rest, and a character must have at least 1 health at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.

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, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, creatures of your choice within 5 meters that can hear you must make a Will saving throw. A target automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can’t be charmed.

On a failure, a target is affected by this spell. Until the spell ends, you can use an action on each of your turns to designate a direction that is horizontal to you. Each affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to move in that direction on its next turn. It can take any actions before it moves. After moving in this way, it can make another saving throw to try to end the effect.

A target isn’t compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire or a pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated direction.

concentration, 1 hour/mana

As two actions, you sense the presence of danger within 20 meters. For the duration, attacks made against you can’t gain advantage, you have advantage on initiative checks, you have advantage on Perception checks to find traps, and you have advantage on Reflex saving throws to avoid traps.

As two actions, you temporarily extinguish the violent impulses of a creature that you touch. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw. If the creature is missing any of its health, the spell has no effect on it.

On a failure, it is charmed by you for the duration or until you or your allies attack it, damage it, or force it to make a saving throw or if the target witnesses any of those things happening to its allies. While charmed, it can’t attack, cast spells that deal damage, or spells that force someone to make a saving throw.

1 minute/mana

As two actions, you weave a distracting string of words, enthralling creatures of your choice within 10 meters. Each creature must make a Will saving throw, which it does with advantage if you or your companions are fighting it. If the creature is immune to being charmed or it can’t hear you, the spell has no effect on it.

On a failure, the creature has disadvantage on Perception checks made to perceive any creature other than you until the spell ends or until the target can no longer hear you. The spell ends if you are incapacitated or can no longer speak.

concentration, 3 hours/mana

As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you can 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.

concentration, 1 hour/mana

As two actions, you can divine the near future. By understanding the course of one’s near future, one can direct their actions to the advantages that fate set for them. You gain an effect determined by rolling on the Fortunes of Fate table, which lasts for the duration.

18The Moon. A creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters must make a Will saving throw. On a failure, the creature is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 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.
19The Sun. Life-giving energy radiates from you in an aura shaped as a sphere. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you. When you cast the spell—and once on on each of your turns thereafter as an action—you can cause a creature in the aura to regain 2d10 health.
20Judgement. You have advantage on attacks made against creatures that dealt damage to or cast a spell on you since the end of your last turn, and creatures that you have dealt damage to or cast a spell on since the end of your last turn have advantage on attacks made against you.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, a creature that is made of flesh that you can touch or see within 5 meters must make a Will saving throw. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this spell.

On a failure, the creature begins a comic dance in place: shuffling, tapping its feet, and capering for the duration.

A dancing creature must use all its movement to dance without leaving its space and has disadvantage on attacks and Reflex saving throws. While the target is affected by this spell, other creatures have advantage on attacks made against it.

  • You can increase the damage by 4d6 for each additional mana expended. If this spell is augmented to target additional creatures, this damage is halved.

  • 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.

  • You can expend 2 additional mana so the spell deals no damage, but the duration changes to 1 minute/mana, concentration and the creature is stunned for the duration. 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 expend 1 additional mana so the creature is paralyzed instead of stunned.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, you predict the near future, aiding yourself in combat. Whenever you make a skill check or a saving throw before the spell ends, you roll with advantage.

Additionally, whenever you are attacked before the spell ends, the attacker rolls with disadvantage.

As two actions, choose a creature, object, or magical effect within 20 meters. Make a Divinity or Occult check. The Difficulty typically equals the spell Difficulty used to cast the curse spell + the mana used to cast the curse spell or a flat Difficulty. If there are multiple curses and if you have not identified them, the curse is chosen at random starting with the least powerful curse.

On a success, if the curse specifies that it is lifted by this spell, the curse ends.

If you fail by 4 or less and the curse specifies that it is lifted by this spell, the curse is suppressed for 1 minute.

On a success, if the curse does not specify that it is lifted by this spell, you learn about the curse. The more information you already have about the thing, the more precise and detailed the information you receive is.

The information you learn is accurate, but might be couched in figurative language. For example, if you have a mysterious magic axe on hand, the spell might yield this information: “Woe to the evildoer whose hand touches the axe, for even the haft slices the hand of the evil ones. Only a true Child of Stone, lover and beloved of Moradin, may awaken the true powers of the axe, and only with the sacred word Rudnogg on the lips.”

Augment

You gain a +1 bonus to your skill check for each additional mana expended.

concentration, 3 hours/mana

As two actions, you suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature within 5 meters 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.

The creature must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, 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 expires, the activity isn’t performed.

The spell ends if you or your allies attack, damage, or attempt to negatively effect the charmed creature in any way.

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.

until dispelled

As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you put a protective curse on an object or place dedicated to your god, such as a shrine, icon, cemetery gate, or so on. If the object is desecrated, then this spell is triggered and a curse is placed on the desecrators. Choose one of the following curses:

Bad Luck. The target is haunted by ill luck. It has disadvantage on skill checks.

Poverty. The target is cursed with poverty. Within 24 hours of gaining money or goods worth 10 sp or more, half of it will be lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Vulnerability. The target is easily injured. Other creatures have advantage on attacks made against the target.

A remove curse spell cast with 5 or more mana ends this effect. At the GM’s option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The GM has final say on such a curse’s effect.

6 hours/mana

As two actions, a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters and that can hear you must make a Will saving throw, and it does so with advantage if you or your companions are fighting it.

On a failure, the creature is charmed by you for the duration. While charmed the target regards you as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn’t under your control, it takes your requests or actions in the most favorable way it can.

The effect ends if you or your companions do anything harmful to it, you die, a remove curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, you use this spell again, you choose to end the effect, or you are on a different plane of existence than the target.

1 hour/mana

As two actions, you gain the gift of glibness. When you make a skill check using Charisma to make a social skill, you can replace the number you roll with a 15. Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates that you are being truthful.

M (mercury, phosphorus, and powdered diamond and opal worth 1,000 sp, consumed)

As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on a surface (such as a section of floor, a wall, or a table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest). If you choose a surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger than 2 meters in diameter. If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 2 meters from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.

The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring a Perception check against your spell save Difficulty to find it.

You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or stepping on the glyph, removing another object covering it, approaching within a certain distance of it, or manipulating the object that holds it. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers are opening the object, approaching within a certain distance of it, or seeing or reading the glyph.

You can further refine the trigger so the spell is activated only under certain circumstances or according to a creature’s physical characteristics (such as height or weight), or physical kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect hags or shapechangers). You can also specify creatures that don’t trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.

Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a sphere twice as big as normal with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time the spell ends. Each creature in the area when the glyph activates must make a Will saving throw.

A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there.

Sleep. On a failure, a creature falls unconscious for 10 minutes. A creature awakens if it takes damage or if someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake.

1 hour/mana

As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you gain a limited ability to see into the immediate future. For the duration, attacks made against you have disadvantage and can’t gain advantage and you have advantage on skill checks and saving throws.

Augment

You can expend 1 additional mana to target a willing creature you touch. This spell immediately ends if you cast it again before its duration ends.

10 days

As you spend 1 hour to cast this spell, you attract creatures of your choice. You target something within 10 meters, either a Huge or smaller object or creature or an area that is no larger than a 20-meter radius sphere. Then specify a kind of intelligent creature, such as red dragons, goblins, or vampires. You invest the target with an aura that attracts the specified creatures for the duration. The enchantment causes the specified creatures to feel an intense urge to approach the target while within 10 meters of it or able to see it. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 10 meters of it, the creature must succeed on a Will saving throw or use its movement on each of its turns to enter the area or move within reach of the target. When the creature has done so, it can’t willingly move away from the target. If the target damages or otherwise harms an affected creature, the affected creature can make a Will saving throw to end the effect, as described below.

Ending the Effect. If an affected creature ends its turn while not within 10 meters of the target or able to see it, the creature makes a Will saving throw.

On a success, the creature is no longer affected by the target and recognizes the feeling of attraction as magical. In addition, a creature affected by the spell is allowed another Will saving throw every 24 hours while the spell persists.

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

As you spend 1 minute to cast this spell, you create a magical restraint to hold a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters. The target must succeed on a Will saving throw or fall asleep and can’t be awoken; if it succeeds, it is immune to this spell if you cast it again.

While affected by this spell, the creature doesn’t need to breathe, eat, or drink, and it doesn’t age. Divination spells can’t locate or perceive the target.

Ending the Spell. During the casting of the spell, you can specify a condition that will cause the spell to end and release the target. The condition can be as specific or as elaborate as you choose, but the GM must agree that the condition is reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass. The conditions can be based on a creature’s name, identity, or deity but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities and not based on intangibles such as level, class, or health.

A dispel magic spell can end the spell only if it is cast using 5 mana.

As two actions, by simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality as you wish.

The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of 4 mana or less. Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice:

  • You create one object of up to 25,000 sp in value that isn’t a magic item. The object can be no more than 100 meters in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground.
  • You allow up to twenty creatures that you can touch or see to regain full health, you end all effects that cause them to be bleeding, blinded, burning, charmed, deafened, paralyzed, petrified, or poisoned, you remove any reductions to their abilities, you remove any effect that reduces their maximum health, and you reduce their exhausted levels by one.
  • You grant up to ten creatures that you can touch or see resistance to a damage type you choose.
  • You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all your companions immune to a lich’s life drain attack.
  • You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an opponent’s successful save, a foe’s critical hit, or a friend’s failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the GM as precisely as possible. The GM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item’s current owner.

The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 2d10 necrotic damage for each mana expended. This damage can’t be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength becomes −4, if it isn’t −4 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33% chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.
