Additionally, the next ability check or attack roll you make against the target before the end of your next turn has advantage.
You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of faint, shimmering light centered on a point within range.

Magical marionette strings attach to the charmed creature’s limbs or body, and it must use its action on its turn to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself that you mentally choose, moving to reach the target if necessary. The target can act normally on its turn if you don’t choose another creature, or if the creature isn’t within the target’s reach after it moves. The target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on itself on a success.
On your later turns, you must take a bonus action to maintain control of the target, or the spell ends.
You touch a willing creature and shroud its presence. Until the spell ends, other creatures must subtract 1d4 from any Wisdom (Insight or Perception) checks made against the target.
You summon and unleash a murder of deadly crows. Each creature of your choice in a 30-foot cone originating from you makes a Dexterity saving throw.

An affected creature’s speed is halved, it has disadvantage on attack rolls, and it subtracts 1d8 from all its damage rolls.
**1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you damages your ally

You touch a dead creature that died within the last minute and transfer your life essence into it. The target returns to life with hit points equal to your current hit point total. You immediately drop to 0 hit points (which nothing can prevent) with two failed death saving throws, and you must immediately make a death save. You can’t regain hit points or become stable until after you make this save.
You touch a Tiny, nonmagical object, infusing it with a portion of your own luck for the duration. While another creature carries the object, that creature has advantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws, and you have disadvantage on them.
One creature that you can see within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have its mind shrouded in the dread of total isolation. For the duration, all other creatures are invisible toward the target, which the target can’t see through—even with blindsight, truesight, or magic such as the See Invisibility spell—and the target can’t perceive other creatures with any of its other senses. The target moves around other creatures, or otherwise rationalizes not moving through spaces occupied by them (such as perceiving a door as closed or as a wall if another creature is standing in the way). The target still feels pain but can’t identify the source of any injury caused by another creature. The target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on itself on a success.
You curse a creature within range, filling its mind with creeping paranoia and despair. When the target uses its action to attack or cast a spell, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or waste its action. Once the target succeeds on three saving throws against this spell, the spell ends.

A creature hostile to you in the field when it appears, or when it enters the field for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, is cursed until the end of its next turn. While cursed, the first time the creature takes damage during a turn, it takes an extra 1d6 necrotic damage, and a creature of your choice within the field that isn’t cursed by it regains a number of hit points equal to the necrotic damage taken.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.
**1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within range targets you with an attack
You sting the eyes of a creature attacking you. The target must make a Constitution saving throw (a creature with blindsight or immunity to the blinded condition succeeds automatically). On a failed save, the target is blinded until the end of the turn. On a successful save, it must subtract 1d4 from the triggering attack roll. The target automatically succeeds on its saves against your subsequent casting of this spell for 24 hours.

Once a target fails its saving throw against this spell, you can’t target it with a ritual casting of the spell for 24 hours.
While cursed, the target hears haunting, discordant music and has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. The first time the target fails one of those rolls during a turn, it repeats the save against this spell with neither advantage nor disadvantage, ending the spell early on a success.
You create a ghostly sickle that lasts for the duration and can strike out at your foes. The sickle appears hovering in your space and moves with you.

You send tendrils of black and gray rot toward a target that you can see within range. Three tendrils then leap from that target to as many as three other targets of your choice, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or a nonmagical plant that isn’t a creature, such as a tree or shrub. In either case, each can be targeted by only one of the tendrils.
A target that is a creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d8 necrotic damage and is poisoned for the duration. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage only. A creature poisoned in this way takes 1d8 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns.

You unleash a primal howl that calls lesser creatures to your command. Each Beast in a 100-foot sphere centered on you when you cast the spell must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a target is charmed by you, it can understand your commands, and it follows them on its next turn to the best of its ability. On your subsequent turns, you can take an action to issue a new command. On a successful save, a target is charmed by you until the start of your next turn, but you have no additional ability to command it. The howl is audible within 300 feet.
You send your enemies to their graves even if they aren’t dead yet. A creature that you can see within range that is standing on the ground must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the ground opens and swallows the target, burying it up to 10 feet deep. While buried, the target has total cover, has the restrained and blinded conditions, and can’t breathe. On a successful save, the target is knocked prone, and its speed is reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn.
