Message

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 round

a short piece of copper wire

You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell.

The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings.

Minor Illusion

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsS, M
  • duration1 minute

A bit of fleece

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be any voice 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, it must be no larger than a 5-foot 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.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC, and it becomes faint to the creature upon a success.

Earth Tremor

  • casting time1 action
  • range10 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationInstantaneous

You cause a tremor in the ground within range. Each creature other than you in that area must make a DEX saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 1d6 Bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone.

If the ground in that area is loose earth or stone, it becomes difficult terrain until cleared, with each 5-foot-diameter portion requiring at least 1 minute to clear by hand.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Bard (XGE) 1st level Evocation

Blindness/Deafness

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV
  • duration1 minute

You can blind or deafen a foe. Choose one creature that you can see within range to make a CON saving throw. If it fails, the target is either blinded or deafened (your choice) for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a CON saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

Magic Mouth (ritual) [1/2]

  • casting time1 minute
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled

a small bit of honeycomb and jade dust worth at least 10 gp, which the spell consumes

You implant a message within an object in range, a message that is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object that you can 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 words appear to come from the object's mouth.

Bard 2nd level Illusion

Magic Mouth (ritual) [2/2]

  • casting time1 minute
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled

a small bit of honeycomb and jade dust worth at least 10 gp, which the spell consumes

When you cast this spell, you can have the spell end after it delivers its message, or it can remain and repeats 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 30 feet of the object. For example, you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves within 30 feet of the object or when a silver bell rings within 30 feet of it.

Bard 2nd level Illusion

Phantasmal Force [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a bit of fleece

You craft an illusion that takes root in the mind of a creature you can see within range. The target must make an INT saving throw. On a failed save, you create a phantasmal object, creature, or other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 10ft cube, perceivable only to the target for the duration. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and other stimuli, also evident only to the creature. The target can use its action to examine the phantasm with an INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If the check succeeds, the target realises that the phantasm is an illusion, and the spell ends.

Bard 2nd level Illusion

Phantasmal Force [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a bit of fleece

While a target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. The target rationalises 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.

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 5 feet 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.

Bard 2nd level Illusion

Pyrotechnics

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationInstantaneous

Choose an area of nonmagical flame that you can see and that can fit within a 5-foot cube within range. You can extinguish the fire in that area, and you create either fireworks or smoke when you do so.

Fireworks: The target explodes with a dazzling display of colours. Each creature within 10 feet of the target must succeed on a CON saving throw or become blinded until the end of your next turn.

Smoke: Thick black smoke spreads out from the target in a 20-foot radius, moving around corners. The area of the smoke is heavily obscured. The smoke persists for 1 minute or until a strong wind disperses it.

See Invisibility

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour

A pinch of Talc and a small sprinkling of powdered silver

For the duration, you see invisible creatures and objects as if they were visible, and you can see into the Ethereal Plane. Ethereal creatures and objects appear ghostly and translucent.

Bard 2nd level Divination

Shatter

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationInstantaneous

a chip of mica

A sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from a point of your choice within range. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a CON saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 Thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw.

A nonmagical object that isn't being worn or carried also takes the damage if it's in the spell's area.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.

Bard 2nd level Evocation

Silence (ritual)

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 10 minutes

For the duration, no sound can be created within or pass through a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range. Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage, and creatures are deafened while entirely inside it. Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible there.

Bard 2nd level Illusion

Suggestion [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 8 hours

a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil

You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature you can see within range 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 ends the spell.

The target must make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, it purses 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.

Bard 2nd level Enchantment

Suggestion [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 8 hours

a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil

You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a knight five her warhorse to the first beggar she meets. If the condition isn't met before the spell expires, the activity isn't performed.

If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.

Bard 2nd level Enchantment

Skywrite (ritual)

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSight

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 hour

You cause up to ten words to form in a part of the sky you can see. The words appear to be made of cloud and remain in place for the spell's duration. The words dissipate when the spell ends. A strong wind can disperse the clouds and end the spell early.

Bard (XGE) 2nd level Transmutation

Warding Wind

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV
  • durationConcentration, up to 10 minutes

A strong wind (30km/h) blows around you in a 10-foot radius and moves with you, remaining centered on you. The wind lasts for the spell's duration. The wind has the following effects:

• It deafens you and other creatures in its area.
• It extinguishes unprotected flames in its area that are torch-sized or smaller.
• It hedges out vapour, gas, and fog that can be dispersed by strong wind.
• The area is difficult terrain for creatures other than you.
• The attack rolls of ranged weapon attacks have disadvantage if the attacks pass in or out of the wind.

Bard (XGE) 2nd level Evocation

Zone of Truth

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • duration10 minutes

You create a magical zone that guards against deception in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a CHA saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can't speak a deliberate lie while in the radius. You know whether each creature succeeds or fails on its saving throw.

An affected creature is aware of the spell and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such creatures can be evasive in its answers as long as it remains within the boundaries of the truth.

Bard 2nd level Enchantment

Aid

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration8 hours

a tiny strip of white cloth

Your spell bolsters your allies with toughness and resolve. Choose up to three creatures within range. Each target's hit point maximum and current hit points increase by 5 for the duration.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, a target's hit points increase by an additional 5 for each slot level above 2nd.

Bard (TCE) 2nd level Abjuration


Enlarge/Reduce [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a pinch of powdered iron

You cause a creature or an object you can see within range to grow larger or smaller for the duration. Choose either a creature or an object that is neither worn nor carried. If the target is unwilling, it can make a CON saving throw. On a success, the spell has no effect.

If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.

Enlarge. The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category - from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the spell ends, the target also has advantage on STR checks and STR saving throws. The target's weapons also grow to match its new size. While these weapons are enlarged, the target's attack with them deal 1d4 extra damage.

Bard (TCE) 2nd level Transmutation

Enlarge/Reduce [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a pinch of powdered iron

Reduce. The target's size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category - from Medium to Small, for example. Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on STR checks and STR saving throws. The target's weapons also shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (but not below 1).

Bard (TCE) 2nd level Transmutation

Mirror Image

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S
  • duration1 minute

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 use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates.

Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell's duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.

If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack's target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher.

A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your DEX modifier. 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, relies on other senses (blindsight), or can perceive illusions (truesight).

Bard (TCE) 2nd level Illusion

Bestow Curse [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

You touch a creature, and that creature must succeed on a WIS saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, choose the nature of the curse from the following options.

• Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.
• While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
• While cursed, the target must make a WIS saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing.
• While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 Necrotic damage to the target.

Bard 3rd level Necromancy

Bestow Curse [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

A Remove Curse spell ends this effect. At the DM's option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The DM has final say on such a curse's effect.

If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. If you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration is 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is 24 hours. If you use a 9th level spell slot, the spell lasts until it is dispelled. Using a spell slot of 5th level or higher grants a duration that doesn't require concentration.

Bard 3rd level Necromancy

Catnap

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsS, M
  • duration10 feet

a pinch of sand

You make a calming gesture, and up to three willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range fall unconscious for the spell's duration. The spell ends on a target early 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, and it can't be affected by this spell again until it finishes a long rest.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one additional willing creature for each slot level above 3rd.

Bard (XGE) 3rd level Enchantment

Clairvoyance

  • casting time10 feet
  • range1 action

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 10 minutes

a focus worth at least 100 gp, either a jeweled horn for hearing or a glass eye for scrying

You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you (a place you have visited or seen before) or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees). The sensor remains in place for the duration, and it can't be attacked or otherwise interacted with. When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space.

As your action, you can switch between seeing and hearing. A creature that can see the sensor (such as a creature benefitting from See Invisibility or Truesight) sees a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.

Bard 3rd level Divination

Dispel Magic

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationInstantaneous

Choose any creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a successful check, the spell ends.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you automatically end the effects of a spell on the target if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used.

Bard 3rd level Abjuration

Enemies Abound

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

You reach into the mind of one creature you can see and force it to make an INT saving throw. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to being frightened. On a failed save, the target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe, regarding all creatures it can see as enemies until the spell ends. Each time the target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Whenever the affected creature chooses another creature as a target, it must choose the target at random from among the creatures it can see within range of the attack, spell, or other ability it's using. lf an enemy provokes an opportunity attack from the affected creature, the creature must make that attack if it is able to.

Bard (XGE) 3rd level Enchantment


Fear

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf (30-foot cone)

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a white feather or the heart of a hen

You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a WIS saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened for the duration.

While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a WIS saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

Bard 3rd level Illusion

Glyph of Warding [1/2]

  • casting time1 hour
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled or triggered

incense and powdered diamond worth at least 200 gp, which the spell consumes

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that harms other creatures, either upon a surface no larger than 10ft (e.g., table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (e.g., book). If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place, if the object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken and the spell ends without being triggered. The glyph is nearly invisible and requires a successful INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to be found. You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends. When you inscribe the glyph, choose explosive runes or a spell glyph.

Explosive Runes: When triggered, the glyph erupts with magical energy in a 20ft radius sphere centered on the glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the aura must make a DEX saving throw.

Bard 3rd level Abjuration

Glyph of Warding [2/2]

  • casting time1 hour
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled or triggered

incense and powdered diamond worth at least 200 gp, which the spell consumes

A creature takes 5d8 Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage on a failed saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as much damage on a successful one.

Spell Glyph: You can store a prepared spell of same or lower level in the glyph by casting it as part of creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or an area. If the spell requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an explosive runes glyph increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. If you create a Spell Glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you use for the Glyph of Warding.

Bard 3rd level Abjuration

Feign Death (ritual)

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour

a pinch of graveyard dirt

You touch a willing creature and put it into a cataleptic state that is indistinguishable from death.

For the spell's duration, or until you use an action to touch the target and dismiss the spell, the target appears dead to all outward inspection and to spells used to determine the target's status. The target is blinded and incapacitated, and its speed drops to 0.

The target has resistance to all damage except psychic damage. If the target is diseased or poisoned when you cast the spell, or becomes diseased or poisoned while under the spell's effect, the disease and poison have no effect until the spell ends.

Bard 3rd level Necromancy

Hypnotic Pattern

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsS, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

a glowing stick of incense or a crystal vial filled with phosphorescent material

You create a twisting pattern of colours that weaves through the air inside a 30-foot cube within range. The pattern appears for a moment and vanishes. Each creature in the area who sees the pattern must make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for the duration. While charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0.

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.

Bard 3rd level Illusion

Intellect Fortress

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 hour

For the duration, you or one willing creature you can see within range has resistance to psychic damage, as well as advantage on INT, WIS, and CHA saving throws.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 3rd. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

Major Image [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 10 minutes

a bit of fleece

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It 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 Thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte's stench).

As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. 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.

Bard 3rd level Illusion

Major Image [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 10 minutes

a bit of fleece

Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell lasts until dispelled, without requiring your concentration.

Leomund's Tiny Hut (ritual)

  • casting time1 minute
  • rangeSelf (10-foot-radius hemisphere)

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration8 hours

a small crystal bead

A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area.

Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside.

Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.

Bard 3rd level Evocation


Nondetection

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration8 hours

a pinch of diamond dust worth 25 gp sprinkled over the target, which the spell consumes

For the duration, you hide a target that you touch from divination magic. The target can be a willing creature or a place or an object no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. The target can't be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.

Bard 3rd level Abjuration

Speak with Plants [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf (30-foot radius)

  • componentsV, S
  • duration10 minutes

You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited sentience and animation, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands. You can question plants about events in the spell's area within the past day, gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other circumstances.

You can also turn difficult terrain caused by plant growth (such as thickets and undergrowth) into ordinary terrain that lasts for the duration. Or you can turn ordinary terrain where plants are present into difficult terrain that lasts for the duration, causing vines and branches to hinder pursuers, for example.

Bard 3rd level Transmutation

Speak with Plants [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf (30-foot radius)

  • componentsV, S
  • duration10 minutes

Plants might be able to perform other tasks on your behalf, at the DM's discretion. The spell doesn't enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but they can freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks.

If a plant creature is in the area, you can communicate with it as if you shared a common language, but you gain no magical ability to influence it.

This spell can cause the plants created by the Entangle spell to release a restrained creature.

Bard 3rd level Transmutation

Speak with Dead

  • casting time1 action
  • range10 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration10 minutes

burning incense

You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead. The spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days.

Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to 5 questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognises you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.

a rotten egg or several skunk cabbage leaves

You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of yellow, nauseating gas centered on a point within range. The cloud spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. The cloud lingers in the air for the duration.

Each creature that is completely within the cloud at the start of its turn must make a CON saving throw against poison. On a failed save, the creature spends its action that turn retching and reeling. Creatures that don't need to breathe or are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw.

A moderate wind (at least 20km/h) disperses the cloud after 4 rounds. A strong wind (at least 30km/h) disperses it after 1 round.

As you call out words of restoration, up to six creatures of your choice that you can see within range regain hit points equal to 1d4 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

a drop of molasses

You alter time around up to six creatures of your choice in a 40-foot cube within range. Each target must succeed on a WIS saving throw or be affected by this spell for the duration.

An affected target's speed is halved, it takes a -2 penalty to AC and DEX saving throws, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.

If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn, and the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell is wasted.

A creature affected by this spell makes another WIS saving throw at the end of its turn. On a successful save, the effect ends for it.

You attempt to charm a creature you can see within range. It must make a WIS saving throw, and it does so with advantage if you or your companions are fighting it. If it fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you until the spell ends or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The charmed creature is friendly to you. When the spell ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

This spell assaults and twists creatures' minds, spawning delusions and provoking uncontrolled actions. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a WIS saving throw when you cast this spell or be affected by it.

An affected target can't take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behaviour for that turn.

1: The creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face. The creature doesn't take an action this turn.

You teleport yourself from your current location to any other spot within range. You arrive at exactly the spot desired. It can be a place you can see, one you can visualize, or one you can describe by stating distance and direction, such as 200 feet straight downward or upward to the northwest at a 45-degree angle, 300 feet.

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed what you can carry. You can also bring one willing creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of you when you cast this spell.

If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, you and any creature traveling with you each take 4d6 Force damage, and the spell fails to teleport you.

a leather strap, bound around the arm or a similar appendage

You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target's movement is unaffected by difficult terrain, and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the target's speed nor cause the target to be paralysed or restrained.

The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target's movement or attacks.

Hallucinatory Terrain

  • casting time10 minutes

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration24 hours

a stone, a twig, and a bit of green plant

You make natural terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Manufactured structures, equipment, and creatures within the area aren't changed in appearance.

The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the illusion can attempt an INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.

This spell transforms a creature with at least 1 hit point that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a WIS saving throw to avoid the effect. A shapechanger automatically succeeds on this saving throw.

The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality. The target assumes the hit points of its new form.

When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.

The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

a bit of fur from a bloodhound

Describe or name a creature that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the creature's location, as long as that creature is within 1,000 feet of you. If the creature is moving, you know the direction of its movement.

The spell can locate a specific creature known to you, or the nearest creature of a specific kind (such as a human or a unicorn), so long as you have seen such a creature up close - within 30 feet - at least once. If the creature you described or named is in a different form, such as being under the effects of a Polymorph spell, this spell doesn't locate the creature.

This spell can't locate a creature if running water at least 10 feet wide blocks a direct path between you and the creature.

Animate Objects [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

Objects come to life at your command. Choose up to ten nonmagical objects within range that are not being worn or carried - Medium (2), Large (4), Huge (8). Doesn't work for larger than Huge. Each target becomes a creature under your control until the spell ends or reduced to 0 hit points.

As a bonus action, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 500 feet of you (same command to any or all at the same time). You decide its action and movement during its next turn, or issue a general command (e.g., guard a corridor). If none, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

If you command an object to attack, it can make a single melee attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. It makes a slam attack for bludgeoning damage determined by its size. The DM might rule that a specific object inflicts slashing or piercing damage based on its form.

Animate Objects [2/2]

An animated object is a construct with AC, hit points, attacks, STR, and DEX determine by its size - CON 10, INT & WIS 3, CHA 1. Its speed is 30 feet, if the objects lack legs or other appendages it can use for locomotion, it instead has a flying speed of 30 feet and can hover. If the object is securely attached to a surface or larger object, its speed is 0. It has blindsight within a radius of 30 feet. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original object form.

Animated Object Statistics
Size ----- HP --- AC --- Hit --- Damage --- STR --- DEX
Tiny ---- 20 ---- 18 --- +8 ---- 1d4 + 4 ------ 4 ------ 18
Small --- 25 ---- 16 --- +6 ---- 1d8 + 2 ------ 6 ------ 14

You tap into the nightmares of a creature you can see within range and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature. The target must make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened for the duration. At the end of each of the target's turns before the spell ends, the target must succeed on a WIS saving throw or take 4d10 Psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.

You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range. It must succeed on a WIS saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as Attack that creature, Run over there, or Fetch that object. If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do.

During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.

Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new WIS saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.

When you cast this spell using a 6th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. When you use a 7th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you use a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

an agate worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes

After spending the casting time tracing magical pathways within a precious gemstone, you touch a huge or smaller beast or plant. The target must have either no INT score or an INT of 3 or less. The target gains an INT of 10. The target also gains the ability to speak one language you know. If the target is a plant, it gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a human's.

Your DM chooses statistics appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened shrub or the awakened tree.

The awakened beast or plant is charmed by you for 30 days or until you and your companions do anything harmful to it. When the charmed condition ends, the awakened creature chooses whether to remain friendly to you, based on how you treated it while it was charmed.

This spell shapes a creature's dreams. Choose a creature known to you as the target of this spell. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don't sleep, such as elves, can't be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a messenger. While in the trance, the messenger is aware of his or her surroundings, but can't take actions or move.

If the target is asleep, 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.

a handful of sand, a dab of ink, and a writing quill plucked from a sleeping bird

If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in the target's dreams.

You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words and then the target must make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the target's sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit from that rest. In addition, when the target wakes up, it takes 3d6 Psychic damage.

If you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or similar portion of the target's body, the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage.

You place a magical command on a creature that you can see within range, forcing it to carry out some service or refrain from some action or course of activity as you decide. If the creature can understand you, it must succeed on a WIS saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration. While the creature is charmed by you, it takes 5d10 Psychic damage each time it acts in a manner directly counter to your instructions, but no more than once each day. A creature that can't understand you is unaffected by the spell.

You can issue any command you choose, short of an activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal command, the spell ends.

You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss it. A Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, or Wish spell also ends it.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 1 year. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of the spell lasts until it is ended by one of the spells mentioned above.

Name or describe a person, place, or object. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been widely known.

If the thing you named isn't of legendary importance, you gain no information. 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.

You become invisible at the same time that an illusory double of you appears where you are standing. The double lasts for the duration, but the invisibility ends if you attack or cast a spell.

You can use your 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 a bonus action, you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again. While you are using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.

Modify Memory [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

You attempt to reshape another creature's memories. One creature that you can see must make a WIS saving throw. If you are fighting the creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the duration. The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and none of the target's memories are modified.

While this charm lasts, you can affect the target's memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and detail, change its memory of the details of the event, or create a memory of some other event.

You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and it must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. Its mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description.

Bard 5th level Enchantment

Modify Memory [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

If the spell ends before you have finished describing the modified memories, the creature's memory isn't altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the spell ends.

A modified memory doesn't necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature's natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical modified memory is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The DM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.

A Remove Curse or Greater Restoration spell cast on the target restores the creature's true memory.

If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can alter the target's memories of an event that took place up to 7 days ago (6th level), 30 days ago (7th level), 1 year ago (8th level), or any time in the creature's past (9th level).

Raise Dead

  • casting time1 hour

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationInstantaneous

a diamond worth at least 500 gp, which the spell consumes

You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.

This spell also neutralises any poison and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects, if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an undead creature to life.

This spell closes all mortal wounds, but doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for survival - e.g., head - the spell automatically fails.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attacks, saves, and ability checks. Each long rest reduces the penalty by 1.

a jewel worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes

With this spell, you attempt to bind a celestial, an elemental, a fey, or a fiend to your service. The creature must be within range for the entire casting of the spell. (Typically, the creature is first summoned into the center of an inverted Magic Circle in order to keep it trapped while this spell is cast.)

At the completion of the casting, the target must make a CHA saving throw. On a failed save, it is bound to serve you for the duration. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell's duration is extended to match the duration of this spell.

A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of its ability. You might command the creature to accompany you on an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to achieve its own objectives.

If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of a higher level, the duration increases to 10 days with a 6th-level slot, to 30 days with a 7th-level slot, to 180 days with an 8th-level slot, and to a year and a day with a 9th-level spell slot.

You can see and hear a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you. The target must make a WIS saving throw, which is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If a target knows you're casting this spell, it can fail the saving throw voluntarily if it wants to be observed.

On a successful save, the target isn't affected, and you can't use this spell against it again for 24 hours. On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, remaining within 10 feet of it for the duration. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb the size of your fist.

Instead of targeting a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before. When you do, the sensor appears there and doesn't move.

This spell allows you to change the appearance of any number of creatures that you can see within range. You give each target you choose a new, illusory appearance. An unwilling target can make a CHA saving throw, and if it succeeds, it is unaffected by this spell.

The spell disguises physical appearances as well as clothing, armour, weapons, and equipment. You can make each creature seem 1 foot shorter or taller and appear thin, fat, or in-between. You can't change a target'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 use your action to dismiss it sooner.

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • duration8 hours

Changes by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspections. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat, 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 then 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 its action to inspect a target and make an INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, it becomes aware that the target is disguised.

  • casting time1 action

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 hour

Your magic deepens a creature's understanding of its own talent. You touch one willing creature and give it expertise in one skill of your choice. Until the spell ends, the creature doubles its proficiency bonus for ability checks it makes that use the chosen skill.

You must choose a skill in which the target is proficient and that isn't already benefiting from an effect, such as Expertise, that doubles its proficiency bonus.

Teleportation Circle [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range10 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • duration1 round

rare chalks and inks infused with precious gems with 50 gp, which the spell consumes

As you cast the spell, you draw a 10-foot-diameter circle on the ground inscribed with sigils that link your location to a permanent teleportation circle of your choice whose sigil sequence you know and that is on the same plane of existence as you. A shimmering portal opens within the circle you drew and remains open until the end of your next turn. Any creature that enters the portal instantly appears within 5 feet of the destination circle or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

Many major temples, guilds, and other important places have permanent teleportation circles inscribed somewhere within their confines. Each such circle includes a unique sigil sequence - a string of magical runes arranged in a particular pattern.

Teleportation Circle [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range10 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • duration1 round

rare chalks and inks infused with precious gems with 50 gp, which the spell consumes

When you first gain the ability to cast this spell, you learn the sigil sequences for two destinations on the Material Plane, determined by the DM. You can learn additional sigil sequences during your adventures. You can commit a new sigil sequence to memory after studying it for 1 minute.

You can create a permanent teleportation circle by casting this spell in the same location every day for one year. You need not use the circle to teleport when you cast the spell in this way.

Synaptic Static

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationInstantaneous

You choose a point within range and cause psychic energy to explode there. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make an INT saving throw. A creature with an INT score of 2 or lower can't be affected by this spell. A target takes 8d6 Psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

After a failed save, a target has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time, it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its CON saving throws to maintain concentration. The target can make an INT saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Eyebite [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

For the spell's duration, your eyes become an inky void imbued with dread power. One creature of your choice within 60 feet of you that you can see must succeed on a WIS saving throw or be affected by one of the following effects of your choice for the duration.

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

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

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

On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to target another creature but can't target a creature again if it has succeeded on a saving throw against this casting.

Telepathic Bond (ritual)

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour

pieces of eggshell from two different kinds of creatures

You forge a telepathic link among up to eight willing creatures of your choice within range, psychically linking each creature to all the others for the duration. Creatures with INT scores of 2 or less aren't affected by this spell.

Until the spell ends, the targets can communicate telepathically through the bond whether or not they have a common language. The communication is possible over any distance, though it can't extend to other planes of existence.

Bard (TCE) 5th level Divination

Find the Path

  • casting time1 minute
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 day

a set of divinatory tools - such as bones, ivory sticks, cards, teeth, or carved runes - worth 100 gp and an object from the location you wish to find

This spell allows you to find the shortest, most direct physical route to a specific fixed location that you are familiar with on the same plane of existence. If you name a destination on another plan 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.

Bard 6th level Divination

Otto's Irresistible Dance

  • casting time1 action
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 minute

Choose one creature that you can see within range. The target begins a comic dance in place - shuffling, tapping its feet, and capering for the duration. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this spell.

A dancing creature must use all its movement to dance without leaving its space and has disadvantage on DEX saving throws and attack rolls. While the target is affected by this spell, other creatures have advantage on attack rolls against it. As an action, a dancing creature makes a WIS saving throw to regain control of itself. On a successful save, the spell ends.

burning incense, a small measure of brimstone and oil, a knotted string, a small amount of umber hulk blood, and a small silver rod worth at least 10 gp

You create a ward that protects up to 2,500sqft of floor space: An area 50sqft, or 100 5ft or 25 10ft. The warded area can be up to 20 feet tall. When you cast this spell, you can specify individuals that are unaffected by any or all of the effects that you choose. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects. It creates the following effects within the warded area:

Corridors: Fog makes all corridors heavily obscured. There is a 50% chance that a creature other than you will believe it is going in the opposite direction from the one it chooses.
Doors: All doors in the warded area are locked by an Arcane Lock spell. You can cover up to 10 doors with Minor Illusion to make them appear as plain wall.

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration24 hours

burning incense, a small measure of brimstone and oil, a knotted string, a small amount of umber hulk blood, and a small silver rod worth at least 10 gp

Stairs: Webs fill all stairs in the warded area from top to bottom, as the Web spell. These strands regrow in 10 minutes if they are burned or torn away.

Other Spell Effect: You place your choice of one of the following within the warded area.
• Constant Dancing Lights in four corridors.
Magic Mouth in two locations.
Stinking Cloud in two locations. The vapours appear in the places you designate.
• Constant Gust of Wind in a corridor or room.
• A Suggestion in one location. You select an area of up to 5ft, and any creature that enters the area receives the suggestion mentally.

A Dispel Magic cast on a specific effect, if successful, removes only that effect. You create a permanently guarded and warded structure by casting this spell there every day for one year.

True Seeing

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour

an ointment for the eyes that costs 25 gp, is made from mushroom powder, saffron, and fat, and is consumed by the spell

This spell gives the willing creature you touch the ability to see things as they actually are. For the duration, the creature has truesight, notices secret doors hidden by magic, and can see into the Ethereal Plane, all out to a range of 120 feet.

Mass Suggestion [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • duration24 hours

a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil

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

Each target must make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

Bard 6th level Enchantment

Mass Suggestion [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, M
  • duration24 hours

a snake's tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil

You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a group of soldiers give all their money to the first beggar they meet. If the condition isn't met before the spell ends, the activity isn't performed.
If you or any of your companions damage a creature affected by this spell, the spell ends for that creature.

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

Heroes' Feast

  • casting time10 minutes
  • range30 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour / 24 hours

a gem-encrusted bowl worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes

You bring forth a great feast, including magnificent food and drink. The feast takes 1 hour to consume and disappears at the end of that time, and the beneficial effects don't set in until this hour is over. Up to twelve other creatures can partake of the feast.

A creature that partakes of the feast gains several benefits. The creature is cured of all diseases and poison, becomes immune to poison and being frightened, and makes all WIS saving throws with advantage. Its hit point maximum also increases by 2d10, and it gains the same number of hit points. These benefits last for 24 hours.

Bard (TCE) 6th level Conjuration

Programmed Illusion [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled

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

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

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

Bard 6th level Illusion

Programmed Illusion [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range120 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationUntil dispelled

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and any noise it makes sounds hollow to the creature.

Bard 6th level Illusion

Dream of the Blue Veil

  • casting time10 feet
  • range20 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration6 hours

You and up to eight willing creatures within range fall unconscious for the spells' duration and experience visions of another world on the Material Plane (Exandria e.g., Catha, Ruidus). If the spell reaches its full duration, the visions conclude with each of you encountering and pulling back a mysterious blue curtain. The spell then ends with you mentally and physically transported to the world in the visions.

To cast this spell, you must have a magic item that originated on the world you wish to reach, and you must be aware of the world's existence, even if you don't know the world's name. Your destination in the other world is a safe location within 2km of where the magic item was created. Alternatively, you can cast the spell if one of the affected creatures was born on the other world, which causes your destination to be a safe location within 2km of where that creature was born.

The spell ends early on a creature if that creature takes any damage, and the creature isn't transported. If you take any damage, the spell ends for you and all the other creatures, with none of you being transported.

Etherealness [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S
  • durationUp to 8 hours

You step into the border regions of the Ethereal Plane, in the area where it overlaps with your current plane. You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use your action to dismiss the spell. During this time, you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can't see anything more than 60 feet away.

While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can't perceive you and can't interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.

You ignore all objects and effects that aren't on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from.

Bard 7th level Transmutation

Etherealness [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • rangeSelf

  • componentsV, S
  • durationUp to 8 hours

When the spell ends, you immediately return to the plane you originated from in the spot you currently occupy. If you occupy the same spot as a solid object or creature when this happens, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take Force damage equal to twice the number of feet you are moved.

This spell has no effect if you cast it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn't border it, such as one of the Outer Planes.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, you can target up to three willing creatures (including you) for each slot level above 7th. The creatures must be within 10 feet of you when you cast the spell.

Bard 7th level Transmutation

Mirage Arcane

  • casting time10 minutes
  • rangeSight

  • componentsV, S
  • duration10 days

You make terrain in an area up to 2km square look, sound, smell, and even feel like some other sort of terrain. The terrain's general shape remains the same. Open fields or a road could be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.

Similarly, you can alter the appearance of structures only (not creatures), or add them where none are present.

The illusion includes audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory elements, so it can turn clear ground into difficult terrain (or vice versa) or otherwise impede movement through the area. Any piece of the illusory terrain (such as a rock or stick) that is removed from the spell's area disappears immediately.

Creatures with truesight can see through the illusion to the terrain's true form, however, all other elements of the illusion remain, so while the creature is aware of the illusion's presence, the creature can still physically interact with the illusion.

Forcecage [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range100 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration1 hour

ruby dust worth 1,500 gp

An immobile, invisible, cube-shaped prison composed of magical force springs into existence around an area you choose within range. The prison can be a cage or a solid box as you choose, up to 20 feet on a side and is made from 1/2-inch diameter bars spaced 1/2 inch apart. A prison in the shape of a box can be up to 10 feet on a side, creating a solid barrier that prevents any matter from passing through it and blocking any spells cast into or out of the area.

When you cast the spell, any creature that is completely inside the cage's area is trapped. Creatures only partially within the area, or those too large to fit inside the area, are pushed away from the center of the area until they are completely outside the area.

  • casting time1 action

ruby dust worth 1,500 gp

A creature inside the cage can't leave it by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to leave the cage, it must first make a CHA saving throw. On a success, the creature can use that magic to exit the cage. On a failure, the creature can't exit the cage and wastes the use of the spell or effect. The cage also extends into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel. This spell can't be dispelled by Dispel Magic.

a miniature platinum sword with a grip and pommel of copper and zinc, worth 250 gp

You create a sword-shaped plane of force that hovers within range. It lasts for the duration.

When the sword appears, you make a melee spell attack against a target of your choice within 5 feet of the sword. On a hit. the target takes 3d10 Force damage. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to move the sword up to 20 feet to a spot you can see and repeat this attack against the same target or a different one.

You conjure an extradimensional dwelling in range that lasts for the duration. You choose where its one entrance is located. The entrance shimmers faintly and is 5 feet wide and 10 feet tall. You and any creature you designate when you cast the spell can enter the extradimensional dwelling as long as the portal remains open.

You can open or close the portal if you are within 30 feet of it. While closed, the portal is invisible. Beyond the portal is a magnificent foyer with numerous chambers beyond. The atmosphere is clean, fresh, and warm.

You can create any floor plan you like, but the space can't exceed 50 cubes, each cube being 10 feet on each side. The place is furnished and decorated as you choose. It contains sufficient food to serve a nine course banquet for up to 100 people.

a miniature portal carved from ivory, a small piece of polished marble, and a tiny silver spoon, each item worth at least 5 gp

A staff of 100 near-transparent servants attends all who enter. You decide the visual appearance of these servants and their attire. They are completely obedient to your orders.

Each servant can perform any task a normal human servant could perform, but they can't attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on. The servants can go anywhere in the mansion but can't leave it.

Furnishings and other objects created by this spell dissipate into smoke if removed from the mansion. When the spell ends, any creatures inside the extradimensional space are expelled into the open spaces nearest to the entrance.

The target's severed body members (fingers, legs, tails, and so on), if any, are restored after 2 minutes. If you have the severed part and hold it to the stump, the spell instantaneously causes the limb to knit to the stump.

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

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

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

If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and any noise it makes sounds hollow to the creature.

Resurrection

  • casting time1 hour
  • rangeTouch

  • componentsV, S, M
  • durationInstantaneous

a diamond worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes

You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, that didn't die of old age, and that isn't undead. If its soul is free and willing, the target returns to life with all its hit points.

This spell neutralises any poisons and cures normal diseases afflicting the creature when it died. It doesn't remove magical diseases and curses if such affects aren't removed prior - they afflict the target on its return to life. This spell closes all mortal wounds and restores any missing body parts.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Each long rest reduces the penalty by 1.

Casting this spell to restore life to a creature that has been dead for more than 1 year taxes you greatly. Until you finish a long rest, you can't cast spells again, and you have disadvantage on all attacks, ability checks, and saves.

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on a less than 10ft surface (e.g., table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (e.g., book). If you choose an object and it's moved more than 10ft, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.

The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring an INT (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to find it. You decide what triggers the glyph. When you inscribe the glyph, choose 1 of the options below for its effect. Each creature in the sphere is targeted by its effect, as is a creature that enters the sphere for the first time or ends its turn there.

Death: Each target must make a CON saving throw, taking 10d10 Necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save.

At the end of every 30 days, the creature can repeat its saving throw against this spell. If it succeeds on its saving throw, the spell ends.

The spell can also be ended by Greater Restoration, Heal or Wish.

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, or physical kind e.g., hags). 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 60ft radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time the spell ends.

Death: Necrotic damage.

This spell instantly transports you and up to eight willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range, or a single object that you can see within range, to a destination you select. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and it can't be held or carried by an unwilling creature. The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully, as determined by your DM.

Familiarity:

Permanent Circle: A permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know.

Associated Object: You possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months.

Very Familiar: A place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell.

  • durationInstantaneous

Seen Casually: Some place you have seen more than once but with which you aren't very familiar.

Viewed Once: A place you have seen once, possibly using magic. Description is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else's description, perhaps from a map.

False Destination: A place that doesn't exist. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy's sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists.

There is a possibility that the spell's unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. Each teleporting creature (or the target object) takes 3d10 Force damage and the DM will reroll to see where you wind up (multiple mishaps can occur, dealing damage each time).

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is immune to psychic damage, any effect that would sense its emotions or read its thoughts, divination spells, and the charmed condition.

Prismatic Wall [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • duration10 minutes

A shimmering, multicolored plane of light forms a vertical opaque wall - up to 90ft (L), 30ft (H), 1in (W) - entered on a point you can see within range. Alternatively, you can shape the wall into a sphere up to 30ft in diameter centered on a point you choose within range. The wall remains in place for the duration. If you position the wall so that it passes through a space occupied by a creature, the spell fails. The wall sheds bright light out to a range of 100 feet and dim light for an additional 100 feet.

You and creatures you designate at the time you cast the spell can pass through and remain near the wall without harm. If another creature that can see the wall moves to within 20 feet of it or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a CON saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute.

The wall consists of seven rainbow layers. When a creature attempts to reach into or pass through the wall, it does so one layer at a time through all the wall's layers. As it passes or reaches through each layer, the creature must make a DEX saving throw or be affected by that layer's properties.

The wall can be destroyed one layer at a time by means specific to each layer. Once a layer is destroyed, it remains so for the duration of the spell. A Rod of Cancellation destroys the wall, but Antimagic Field has no effect. Refer to the DM for the Prismatic Wall statistics.

Indigo: The creature is restrained on a failed save, and has to make a CON saving throw at the end of its turns. If it successfully saves three times, the restrain effect ends. If it fails three times, it permanently turns to stone and is subjected to the petrified condition. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive. Spells can't be cast through the wall. The layer is destroyed by bright light shed by a Daylight spell or a similar spell of equal or higher level.

Violet: The creature is blinded on a failed save, and has to make a WIS saving throw at the start of your next turn. A successful save ends the blindness. If it fails that save, the creature is transported to another plane of the DM's choosing and is no longer blinded. (Typically, a creature that is on a plane that isn't its home plane is banished home, while other creatures are usually cast into the Astral or Ethereal planes.) This layer is destroyed by a Dispel Magic spell or a similar spell of equal or higher level that can end spells and magical effects.

a hummingbird feather

You touch a willing creature and bestow a limited ability to see into the immediate future.

Additionally, other creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target for the duration.

This spell immediately ends if you cast it again before its duration ends.

Dominate Monster [1/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 hour

You attempt to beguile a creature that you can see within range. It must succeed on a WIS saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

While the creature is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as Attack that creature, Run over there, or Fetch that object. If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

Dominate Monster [2/2]

  • casting time1 action
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S
  • durationConcentration, up to 1 hour

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.

Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new WIS saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.

When you cast this spell with a 9th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

either a lump of alum soaked in vinegar for the antipathy effect or a drop of honey for the sympathy effect

You target something within range, either a Huge or smaller object or creature or an area that is no larger than a 200-foot cube. Then specify a kind of intelligent creature (e.g., vampires). You invest the target with an aura of antipathy or sympathy:

Antipathy: The enchantment causes specified creatures to feel an intense urge to leave the area and avoid the target. When the creature can see the target or comes within 60ft, they must succeed on a WIS saving throw or become frightened. The creature remains frightened while it can see the target or is within 60ft. While frightened, the creature must use its movement to move to the nearest safe spot from which it can't see the target. If the creature moves more than 60ft from the target and can't see it, the creature is no longer frightened, but becomes frightened again if it regains sight of the target or moves within 60ft.

  • casting time1 hour
  • range60 feet

  • componentsV, S, M
  • duration10 days

either a lump of alum soaked in vinegar for the antipathy effect or a drop of honey for the sympathy effect

Sympathy: The enchantment causes specified creatures to feel an intense urge to approach the target while within 60ft of it or able to see it. When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60ft, they must succeed on a WIS saving throw or use its movement to enter the area or move within reach of the target. It can't willingly move away from the target. If the target damages or harms an affected creature, the affected creature can make a WIS saving throw to end the effect.

Ending the Effect: If an affected creature ends its turn while not within 60ft of the target or able to see it, the creature makes a WIS saving throw. On a successful save, the creature is no longer affected by the target and recognises the feeling as magical. A creature affected by the spell is allowed another WIS 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 it can be affected again.

You transform up to ten creatures of your choice that you can see within range. An unwilling target must succeed on a WIS saving throw to resist the transformation. An unwilling shapechanger automatically succeeds on the save.

Each target assumes a beast form of your choice, and you can choose the same form or different ones for each target. The new form can be any beast you have seen whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or half the target's level, if the target doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast, but the target retains its hit points, alignment, and personality.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form. It can't speak, cast spells, or do anything else that requires hands or speech.

The target's gear melds into the new form. The target can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

Choose one creature with at least 1 HP or nonmagical object that you can see within range. You transform a creature or object (see below). Shapechangers are immune. An unwilling creature can make a WIS saving throw to be unaffected by this spell. The transformation ends when the target drops to 0 HP or dies. If you concentrate on this spell for the full duration, the transformation becomes permanent.

Creature into Creature: The new form can be any kind you choose whose CR/level is equal or less than the target's. The target's game statistics, including mental abilities, are replaced by the new form. Alignment and personality are retained. When it reverts, the creature returns to the number of HP it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 HP, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or other actions unless its new form is capable of such actions.

The creature is friendly to you and your companions and acts on your turns (you decide). If the spell becomes permanent, you no longer control the creature. It might remain friendly to you, depending on how you have treated it.

Creature into Object: If you turn a creature into an object, it transforms along with whatever it is wearing and carrying into that form. The creature's statistics become those of the object, and the creature has no memory of time spent in this form, after the spell ends and it returns to its normal form.
