The dragon chooses any number of creatures it can see that are standing or swimming in water within 20 meters of it. Each chosen creature must succeed on a Difficulty 20 Reflex saving throw or be knocked prone.

Regional effects

The region containing the ancient bronze dragon’s lair is warped by the ancient bronze dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

  • Thunderstorms rage within 10 kilometers of the lair.

  • Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 10-kilometer radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn’t need to be outdoors; otherwise the effect is identical to the control weather spell.

  • Underwater plants within 10 kilometers of the dragon’s lair take on dazzlingly brilliant hues.

  • Within its lair, the dragon can set illusory sounds, such as soft music and strange echoes, so that they can be heard in various parts of the lair.

  • Phantom Escort. Ghostly naval ships from an ancient armada appear, escorting well-meaning creatures in need of the dragon’s help toward the dragon’s lair.

  • Underwater Pursuit. Sailors glimpse the shadowy, illusory form of a dragon in the depths below them, keeping pace with their vessel. Unfailing Faithfulness. Sapient creatures that spend a year within 15 kilometers of the dragon’s lair find it nearly impossible to break a promise.

If the dragon dies, changed weather reverts to normal, as described in the spell, and the other effects fade in 1d10 days.

As two actions, you call forth a lightning elemental which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 meters. The elemental is a lightning 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 augment this spell with the following options, expending mana for each option.
  • You can use an additional resource for each additional mana expended.

  • You can expend 2 additional mana to call forth another elemental.

As two actions, you, along with everything you’re wearing and carrying, transforms into a watery form. The spell ends if you drop to 0 health.

While in this form, the following rules apply:

  • your only methods of movement are a speed of 2 meters and a swimming speed of 5 meters
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • you are wet. This wetness does not end if you take fire damage.
  • 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 water form.

If you are in water form and swimming when the effect ends, you ascend 10 meters per round for 1 minute until you reach the surface.

Augment
You can augment this spell with the following options, expending mana for each option.
  • 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.

  • Water Glide. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast this spell without concentration and modify the effect so your swimming 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.

1 minute/mana

As two actions, a 10-meter radius storm cloud appears centered on a point you can see within 20 meters directly above you. The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can’t accommodate the cloud). The cloud moves to always stay directly above you.

When you cast the spell—and once on on each of your turns thereafter as an action—you can choose a point you can see within 10 meters. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 1 meter of that point must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 2d12 lightning damage and is deafened and can’t take reactions until the end of its 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.

If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, each creature within 2 meters of the point must make the saving throw.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d12 for each additional mana expended.

As two actions, a bolt of lightning arcs toward a target that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The lightning can then arc to another target within 5 meters of the first target and a third target within 5 meters of the second target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted only once. A target must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 5d8 lightning damage and can’t take reactions until the end of its 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.

Augment

concentration, 5 minutes/mana

As two actions, you can control any freestanding water within 100 meters inside an area that is a cube up to 20 meters on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this spell.

Flood. You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 5 meters. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land.

If you choose an area in a large body of water, you instead create a 5-meter tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave’s path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25% chance of capsizing.

The water level remains elevated until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts.

Part Water. You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the spell’s area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.

Redirect Flow. You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the spell’s area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the spell ends or you choose a different effect.

On subsequent turns, you can use two actions to repeat the same effect or choose a different one.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, you form a swirling globe of magical water around the head of a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. At the start of each of its turns for the duration, 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 3d8 health, is deafened, can’t speak, can’t use breath weapons, and can’t see anything beyond 2 meters until the start of its next turn.

On a critical failure, it loses twice as much health.

On a success, it loses half as much health and and the effect ends.

On a critical success, it loses no health and the effect ends.

Augment

You can cause the target to lose 3d8 more health for each additional mana expended.

As two actions, you draw the moisture from every creature at a point within 20 meters. Each creature in a sphere centered on that point must make a Fortitude saving throw, which it does with disadvantage if it is a plant creature, a magical plant, or a creature made of water such as a water elemental. If the creature has no moisture in its body, the spell has no effect on it.

On a failure, it takes 7d6 necrotic damage and is exhausted 1 until it rehydrates. This exhaustion does not accumulate with other forms of exhaustion due to dehydration.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is exhausted 2 until it rehydrates. This exhaustion does not accumulate with other forms of exhaustion due to dehydration.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

On a failure, it is confused and frightened of the area in the center of the sphere 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.

  • Greater Purification. You can expend 1 additional mana to instead remove any reductions to one of its abilities, remove one effect that reduces its maximum health, remove one effect that charmed, paralyzed, or petrified it, or reduce its exhausted level by one.

concentration, 5 minutes/mana

As two actions, a rolling clap of thunder appears in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters. The sphere spreads around corners. It lasts for the duration.

  • You can expend 1 additional mana so duration changes to 1 hour/mana.

As two actions, a sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from a point of your choice within 10 meters.

On a failure, it takes 8d6 concussion damage and is deafened for 1 minute.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 2d6 for each additional mana expended.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, you expose a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters to concussion or lightning. The creature must make a Fortitude saving throw.

On a failure, it loses any resistance to concussion and lightning damage for the duration and the first time on each turn the creature takes concussion or lightning damage, it takes an extra 2d6 damage of that type.

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 two actions, a sphere of thunderous clouds springs into existence centered on a point within 20 meters. The sphere remains for the duration. A creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Fortitude saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 1d8 concussion damage and is deafened until the end of its next turn.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

At the start of each of your turns if the clouds are within 20 meters of you, you can cause them to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move them up to 10 meters.

Until the spell ends, you can use an action on each of your turns to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the center of the sphere toward a creature you choose within 10 meters of the center. Make a ranged spell attack against the target, which you have advantage on if the creature is in the sphere.

On a hit, it takes 2d8 lightning damage and can’t take reactions until the end of its next turn.

On a critical hit, it takes twice as much damage.

On a miss by 4 or less, it takes half as much damage.

Creatures within 5 meters of the sphere have disadvantage on Perception checks made to listen.

Augment

You can increase the concussion damage by 1d8 and the lightning damage by 1d8 for every two additional mana expended.

As two actions, you create a wave of water that crashes down at a point within 20 meters. Each creature in a sphere centered on that point must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage, is wet until the end of its next turn, is knocked prone if it is Large or smaller, and is pushed 3 meters away from the center of the sphere if it is Large or smaller.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is pushed 6 meters away from the center of the sphere if it is Large or smaller.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

The water then spreads out across the ground in all directions, causing all creatures and objects in the area to become wet until the end of their next turn.

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.

concentration, 5 minutes/mana

As two actions, you create a wall of water twice as big as normal at a point you can see within 20 meters that lasts for the duration. The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and it needs to be vertical and to rest on a firm foundation. The wall blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it.

A creature must spend 2 meters of movement for every meter it moves through the wall. 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 2d8 bludgeoning damage, is wet until the end of its next turn, and is knocked prone if it is Large or smaller.

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.

Any creature or object in the area becomes went until the end of its next turn, any ranged attack that enters the wall’s space has disadvantage on the roll, and fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 1-meter square section is frozen). Each 1-meter square frozen section has 10 Defense, 1 Soak, and 15 Health. Reducing a frozen section to 0 health destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wall’s water doesn’t fill it.

(ritual); 1 hour/mana

As two actions, you grant the ability to move across any liquid surface—such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava—as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat) to a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters.

If you target a creature submerged in a liquid, the spell carries the target to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 10 meters per round.

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.

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 succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute.

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.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, you create a sphere of water with a 1-meter radius at a point you can see within 10 meters. The sphere can hover but no more than 2 meters off the ground. Any Medium or smaller creature in the sphere’s space must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a success, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space of the creature’s choice outside the sphere.

On a failure, a creature is engulfed by the sphere of water for the duration. While engulfed, the creature is restrained, deafened, can’t speak, and can’t see anything further than 2 meters from itself. Additionally, any creature that is engulfed is wet for 1 minute.

A creature restrained by the sphere, or one that can touch the creature, can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty.

On a success, the target is freed. A creature with a swimming speed has advantage on this skill check.

The sphere can restrain as many as two Medium or smaller creatures. If the sphere restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 1 meter of it.

At the start of each of your turns if the sphere 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. If it moves over a pit, a cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it is hovering 2 meters above the ground. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw.

When the spell ends, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 5 meters of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls. The water then vanishes.

Augment

The sphere’s radius grows by 1 meter and the sphere can restrain two additional Medium or smaller creatures for each additional mana expended. The sphere can restrain Large creatures, which are equivalent to 4 Medium creatures.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As two actions, you create a swirling mass of water at a point you can see within 100 meters. The maelstrom is a cylinder twice as big as normal centered on that point.

At the start of each of your turns if the maelstrom 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.

The maelstrom sucks up any Medium or smaller objects that aren’t secured to anything and that aren’t worn or carried by anyone.

Any creature in the maelstrom becomes wet for 1 minute. The maelstrom keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the maelstrom are sucked upward. Arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the maelstrom are deflected upward and automatically miss. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.)

A creature that enters 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 1d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained for the duration. At the start of each of its turns while restrained, the creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage and is pulled 1 meter higher inside it, unless the creature is at the top. A restrained creature moves with the maelstrom.

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.

A creature restrained by the maelstrom can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty. If successful, the creature is no longer restrained by the maelstrom.

When the spell ends or if the creature escapes the maelstrom, it is hurled 1d6 × 2 meters away from it in a random direction unless it has something to hold on to. If the creature falls it takes falling damage as normal, unless it has some means to stay aloft.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d6, you can affect a creature of a larger size, and you can increase the distance that the creature is thrown by 1d6 for each additional mana expended.
