Acid Splash
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You hurl a bubble of acid. Choose one creature within
range, or choose two creatures within range that are
within 5 feet of each other. A target must succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach
5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
Aid
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tiny strip of white cloth)
Duration: 8 hours
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.
At Higher Levels. 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.
Antimagic Field
8th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot-radius sphere)
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of powdered iron or iron filings)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds
you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that
suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can’t
be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic
items become mundane. Until the spell ends, the sphere
moves with you, centered on you.
Spells and other magical effects, except those created
by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere
and can’t protrude into it. A slot expended to cast
a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is
suppressed, it doesn’t function, but the time it spends
suppressed counts against its duration.
Targeted Effects. Spells and other magical effects,
such as magic missile and charm person, that target
a creature or an object in the sphere have no effect on
that target.
Areas of Magic. The area of another spell or magical
effect, such as fireball, can’t extend into the sphere.
If the sphere overlaps an area of magic, the part of
the area that is covered by the sphere is suppressed.
For example, the flames created by a wall of fire are
suppressed within the sphere, creating a gap in the wall
if the overlap is large enough.
Spells. Any active spell or other magical effect on a
creature or an object in the sphere is suppressed while
the creature or object is in it.
Magic Items. The properties and powers of
magic items are suppressed in the sphere. For
example, a +1 longsword in the sphere functions as a
nonmagical longsword.
A magic weapon’s properties and powers are
suppressed if it is used against a target in the sphere or
wielded by an attacker in the sphere. If a magic weapon
or a piece of magic ammunition fully leaves the sphere
(for example, if you fire a magic arrow or throw a magic
spear at a target outside the sphere), the magic of the
item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.
Magical Travel. Teleportation and planar travel
fail to work in the sphere, whether the sphere is the
destination or the departure point for such magical
travel. A portal to another location, world, or plane of
existence, as well as an opening to an extradimensional
space such as that created by the rope trick spell,
temporarily closes while in the sphere.
Creatures and Objects. A creature or object
summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out
of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly
reappears once the space the creature occupied is no
longer within the sphere.
Dispel Magic. Spells and magical effects such as
dispel magic have no effect on the sphere. Likewise, the
spheres created by different antimagic field spells don’t
nullify each other.
Arcane Eye
4th-level divination
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of bat fur)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You create an invisible, magical eye within range that
hovers in the air for the duration.
You mentally receive visual information from the eye,
which has normal vision and darkvision out to 30 feet.
The eye can look in every direction.
As an action, you can move the eye up to 30 feet in
any direction. There is no limit to how far away from
you the eye can move, but it can’t enter another plane of
existence. A solid barrier blocks the eye’s movement, but
the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch
in diameter.
Arcane Lock
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (gold dust worth at least 25 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Until dispelled
You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other
entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration. You
and the creatures you designate when you cast this
spell can open the object normally. You can also set a
password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object,
suppresses this spell for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is
impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or
suppressed. Casting knock on the object suppresses
arcane lock for 10 minutes.
While affected by this spell, the object is more difficult
to break or force open; the DC to break it or pick any
locks on it increases by 10.
Astral Projection
9th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (for each creature you affect with this spell, you must provide one jacinth worth at least
1,000 gp and one ornately carved bar of silver worth
at least 100 gp, all of which the spell consumes)
Duration: Special
You and up to eight willing creatures within range
project your astral bodies into the Astral Plane (the
spell fails and the casting is wasted if you are already
on that plane). The material body you leave behind is
unconscious and in a state of suspended animation; it
doesn’t need food or air and doesn’t age.
Your astral body resembles your mortal form in
almost every way, replicating your game statistics and
possessions. The principal difference is the addition of
a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder
blades and trails behind you, fading to invisibility after
1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As
long as the tether remains intact, you can find your way
home. If the cord is cut—something that can happen
only when an effect specifically states that it does—your
soul and body are separated, killing you instantly.
Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral
Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any
other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the
plane you were on when casting this spell, your body and
possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing
you to re-enter your body as you enter the new plane.
Your astral form is a separate incarnation. Any damage
or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your
physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
The spell ends for you and your companions when
you use your action to dismiss it. When the spell ends,
the affected creature returns to its physical body,
and it awakens.
The spell might also end early for you or one of your
companions. A successful dispel magic spell used
against an astral or physical body ends the spell for that
creature. If a creature’s original body or its astral form
drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends for that creature. If
the spell ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls
the creature’s astral form back to its body, ending its
state of suspended animation.
If you are returned to your body prematurely, your
companions remain in their astral forms and must find
their own way back to their bodies, usually by dropping
to 0 hit points.
Augury
2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous
By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones,
laying out ornate cards, or employing some other
divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly
entity about the results of a specific course of action that
you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM
chooses from the following possible omens:
•   
Weal, for good results
•  
Woe, for bad results
• 
Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
•    
Nothing, for results that aren’t especially good or bad
The spell doesn’t take into account any possible
circumstances that might change the outcome, such
as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of
a companion.
If you cast the spell two or more times before
completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25
percent chance for each casting after the first that you
get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.
Beacon of Hope
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
This spell bestows hope and vitality. Choose any
number of creatures within range. For the duration,
each target has advantage on Wisdom saving throws
and death saving throws, and regains the maximum
number of hit points possible from any healing.
Blade Barrier
6th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades
made of magical energy. The wall appears within range
and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall
up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a
ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and
5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to
creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain.
When a creature enters the wall’s area for the first
time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must
make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature takes 6d10 slashing damage. On a successful
save, the creature takes half as much damage.
Bless
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a sprinkling of holy water)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You bless up to three creatures of your choice within
range. Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a
saving throw before the spell ends, the target can roll
a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or
saving throw.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one
additional creature for each slot level above 1st.
Blur
2nd-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to
all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has
disadvantage on attack rolls against you. An attacker
is immune to this effect if it doesn’t rely on sight,
as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as
with truesight.
Burning Hands
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cone)
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and
fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from
your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot
cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature
takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that
aren’t being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. 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.
Chain Lightning
6th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur; a piece of amber, glass, or a crystal rod; and three silver pins)
Duration: Instantaneous
You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of
your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts
then leap from that target to as many as three other
targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first
target. A target can be a creature or an object and can
be targeted by only one of the bolts.
A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The
target takes 10d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or
half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 7th level or higher, one additional bolt
leaps from the first target to another target for each slot
level above 6th.
Charm Person
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
You attempt to charm a humanoid you can see within
range. It must make a Wisdom saving throw, and 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 regards
you as a friendly acquaintance. When the spell ends, the
creature knows it was charmed by you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one
additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The
creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you
target them.
Command
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: 1 round
You speak a one-word command to a creature you can
see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw or follow the command on its next turn.
The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it
doesn’t understand your language, or if your command
is directly harmful to it.
Some typical commands and their effects follow. You
might issue a command other than one described here.
If you do so, the DM determines how the target behaves.
If the target can’t follow your command, the spell ends.
Approach. The target moves toward you by the
shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it
moves within 5 feet of you.
Drop. The target drops whatever it is holding and then
ends its turn.
Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from
you by the fastest available means.
Grovel. The target falls prone and then ends its turn.
Halt. The target doesn’t move and takes no actions.
A flying creature stays aloft, provided that it is able to
do so. If it must move to stay aloft, it flies the minimum
distance needed to remain in the air.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can affect one
additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The
creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you
target them.
Commune
5th-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (incense and a vial of holy or unholy water)
Duration: 1 minute
You contact your deity or a divine proxy and ask up to
three questions that can be answered with a yes or no.
You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You
receive a correct answer for each question.
Divine beings aren’t necessarily omniscient, so you
might receive “unclear” as an answer if a question
pertains to information that lies beyond the deity’s
knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be
misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, the DM
might offer a short phrase as an answer instead.
If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing
your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent
chance for each casting after the first that you get no
answer. The DM makes this roll in secret.
Comprehend Languages
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of soot and salt)
Duration: 1 hour
For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of
any spoken language that you hear. You also understand
any written language that you see, but you must be
touching the surface on which the words are written. It
takes about 1 minute to read one page of text.
This spell doesn’t decode secret messages in a text
or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn’t part of a
written language.
Cone of Cold
5th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (60-foot cone)
Components: V, S, M (a small crystal or glass cone)
Duration: Instantaneous
A blast of cold air erupts from your hands. Each
creature in a 60-foot cone must make a Constitution
saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 cold damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
A creature killed by this spell becomes a frozen statue
until it thaws.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
Counterspell
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of
casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd
level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is
casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability
check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10
+ the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails
and has no effect.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has
no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the
spell slot you used.
Cure Wounds
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A creature you touch regains a number of hit points
equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This
spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
Dancing Lights
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of phosphorus or wychwood, or a glowworm)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create up to four torch-sized lights within range,
making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing
orbs that hover in the air for the duration. You can
also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely
humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you
choose, each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the
lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A light
must be within 20 feet of another light created by this
spell, and a light winks out if it exceeds the spell’s range.
Darkness
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, M (bat fur and a drop of pitch or piece of coal)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose
within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the
duration. The darkness spreads around corners.
A creature with darkvision can’t see through this
darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.
If the point you choose is on an object you are holding
or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness
emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely
covering the source of the darkness with an opaque
object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.
If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light
created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that
created the light is dispelled.
Death Ward
4th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: 8 hours
You touch a creature and grant it a measure of
protection from death.
The first time the target would drop to 0 hit points as a
result of taking damage, the target instead drops to 1 hit
point, and the spell ends.
If the spell is still in effect when the target is subjected
to an effect that would kill it instantaneously without
dealing damage, that effect is instead negated against
the target, and the spell ends.
Delayed Blast Fireball
7th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A beam of yellow light flashes from your pointing finger,
then condenses to linger at a chosen point within range
as a glowing bead for the duration. When the spell
ends, either because your concentration is broken or
because you decide to end it, the bead blossoms with a
low roar into an explosion of flame that spreads around
corners. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere
centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving
throw. A creature takes fire damage equal to the total
accumulated damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
The spell’s base damage is 12d6. If at the end of
your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage
increases by 1d6.
If the glowing bead is touched before the interval
has expired, the creature touching it must make a
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends
immediately, causing the bead to erupt in flame. On a
successful save, the creature can throw the bead up to
40 feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the
spell ends, and the bead explodes.
The fire damages objects in the area and ignites
flammable objects that aren’t being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the base damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 7th.
Detect Magic
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
For the duration, you sense the presence of magic
within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you
can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible
creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you
learn its school of magic, if any.
The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked
by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet
of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
Dimension Door
4th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 500 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
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.
Disguise Self
1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
You make yourself—including your clothing, armor,
weapons, and other belongings on your person—look
different until the spell ends or until you use your action
to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and
can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can’t change
your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the
same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent
of the illusion is up to you.
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to
physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell
to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat,
and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would
feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear
thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches
out to touch you would bump into you while it was
seemingly still in midair.
To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use
its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed
on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your
spell save DC.
Disintegrate
6th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a lodestone and a pinch of dust)
Duration: Instantaneous
A thin green ray springs from your pointing finger to a
target that you can see within range. The target can be a
creature, an object, or a creation of magical force, such
as the wall created by wall of force.
A creature targeted by this spell must make a
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes
10d6 + 40 force damage. If this damage reduces the
target to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated.
A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing
and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile
of fine gray dust. The creature can be restored to life
only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.
This spell automatically disintegrates a Large or
smaller nonmagical object or a creation of magical
force. If the target is a Huge or larger object or creation
of force, this spell disintegrates a 10-foot-cube portion of
it. A magic item is unaffected by this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by
3d6 for each slot level above 6th.
Dispel Magic
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Choose one 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.
At Higher Levels. 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.
Divination
4th-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (incense and a sacrificial offering appropriate to your religion, together worth at least 25 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
Your magic and an offering put you in contact with
a god or a god’s servants. You ask a single question
concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur
within 7 days. The DM offers a truthful reply. The reply
might be a short phrase, a cryptic rhyme, or an omen.
The spell doesn’t take into account any possible
circumstances that might change the outcome, such
as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of
a companion.
If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing
your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent
chance for each casting after the first that you get a
random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.
Dominate Monster
8th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You attempt to beguile a creature that you can see
within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom 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.
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
Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving
throw succeeds, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a
9th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up
to 8 hours.
Dominate Person
5th-level enchantment

At Higher Levels. 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

Dream
5th-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Special
Components: V, S, M (a handful of sand, a dab of ink, and a writing quill plucked from a sleeping bird)
Duration: 8 hours
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. 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 Wisdom 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.
Earthquake
8th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 500 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of dirt, a piece of rock, and a lump of clay)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a seismic disturbance at a point on the
ground that you can see within range. For the duration,
an intense tremor rips through the ground in a
100-foot-radius circle centered on that point and shakes
creatures and structures in contact with the ground
in that area.
The ground in the area becomes difficult terrain.
Each creature on the ground that is concentrating must
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature’s concentration is broken.
When you cast this spell and at the end of each turn
you spend concentrating on it, each creature on the
ground in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.
This spell can have additional effects depending on
the terrain in the area, as determined by the DM.
Fissures. Fissures open throughout the spell’s area at
the start of your next turn after you cast the spell. A total
of 1d6 such fissures open in locations chosen by the DM.
Each is 1d10 × 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide, and extends
from one edge of the spell’s area to the opposite side.
A creature standing on a spot where a fissure opens
must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall in. A
creature that successfully saves moves with the fissure’s
edge as it opens.
A fissure that opens beneath a structure causes it to
automatically collapse (see below).
Structures. The tremor deals 50 bludgeoning damage
to any structure in contact with the ground in the area
when you cast the spell and at the start of each of your
turns until the spell ends. If a structure drops to 0 hit
points, it collapses and potentially damages nearby
creatures. A creature within half the distance of a
structure’s height must make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning
damage, is knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble,
requiring a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check as an
action to escape. The DM can adjust the DC higher
or lower, depending on the nature of the rubble. On
a successful save, the creature takes half as much
damage and doesn’t fall prone or become buried.
Etherealness
7th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Up 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.
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.
At Higher Levels. 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.
Find the Path
6th-level divination
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (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)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 day
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 plane of existence, a
destination that moves (such as a mobile fortress), or a
destination that isn’t specific (such as “a green dragon’s
lair”), the spell fails.
For the duration, as long as you are on the same plane
of existence as the destination, you know how far it is
and in what direction it lies. While you are traveling
there, whenever you are presented with a choice of
paths along the way, you automatically determine which
path is the shortest and most direct route (but not
necessarily the safest route) to the destination.

the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if
it fails a Dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects
and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.
Any attack roll against an affected creature or object
has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected
creature or object can’t benefit from being invisible.

of its ability.

damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one.
The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable
objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

in a location you choose within range. The area of the
storm consists of up to ten 10-foot cubes, which you can
arrange as you wish. Each cube must have at least one
face adjacent to the face of another cube. Each creature
in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. It
takes 7d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
The fire damages objects in the area and ignites
flammable objects that aren’t being worn or carried.
If you choose, plant life in the area is unaffected
by this spell.

feet of the sphere must make a Dexterity saving throw.
The creature takes 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or
half as much damage on a successful one.
As a bonus action, you can move the sphere up to 30
feet. If you ram the sphere into a creature, that creature
must make the saving throw against the sphere’s
damage, and the sphere stops moving this turn.
When you move the sphere, you can direct it over
barriers up to 5 feet tall and jump it across pits up to
10 feet wide. The sphere ignites flammable objects not
being worn or carried, and it sheds bright light in a
20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

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 paralyzed
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.
Gate
9th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 5,000 gp)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You conjure a portal linking an unoccupied space you
can see within range to a precise location on a different
plane of existence. The portal is a circular opening,
which you can make 5 to 20 feet in diameter. You can
orient the portal in any direction you choose. The portal
lasts for the duration.
The portal has a front and a back on each plane where
it appears. Travel through the portal is possible only
by moving through its front. Anything that does so is
instantly transported to the other plane, appearing in
the unoccupied space nearest to the portal.
Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals
created by this spell from opening in their presence or
anywhere within their domains.
When you cast this spell, you can speak the name
of a specific creature (a pseudonym, title, or nickname
doesn’t work). If that creature is on a plane other than
the one you are on, the portal opens in the named
creature’s immediate vicinity and draws the creature
through it to the nearest unoccupied space on your side
of the portal. You gain no special power over the creature,
and it is free to act as the DM deems appropriate. It
might leave, attack you, or help you.

spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier,
but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area
within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by

of one level higher for each slot level above 6th.

within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the

successful save. The damage can’t reduce the target’s
hit points below 1. If the target fails the saving throw,
its hit point maximum is reduced for 1 hour by an
amount equal to the necrotic damage it took. Any effect
that removes a disease allows a creature’s hit point
maximum to return to normal before that time passes.

to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn
whether any spells are affecting the item and what they
are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which
spell created it.

Imprisonment
9th-level abjuration

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a vellum depiction or a carved statuette in the likeness of the target, and a special component that varies according to the version of the spell you choose, worth at least 500 gp per Hit Die of the target)
Duration: Until dispelled
You create a magical restraint to hold a creature that
you can see within range. The target must succeed on
a Wisdom saving throw or be bound by the spell; if it
succeeds, it is immune to this spell if you cast it again.
While affected by this spell, the creature doesn’t need
to breathe, eat, or drink, and it doesn’t age. Divination
spells can’t locate or perceive the target.
When you cast the spell, you choose one of the
following forms of imprisonment.
Burial. The target is entombed far beneath the earth
in a sphere of magical force that is just large enough to
contain the target. Nothing can pass through the sphere,
nor can any creature teleport or use planar travel to get
into or out of it.
The special component for this version of the spell is a
small mithral orb.
Chaining. Heavy chains, firmly rooted in the ground,
hold the target in place. The target is restrained until
the spell ends, and it can’t move or be moved by any
means until then.
The special component for this version of the spell is a
fine chain of precious metal.
Hedged Prison. The spell transports the target into a
tiny demiplane that is warded against teleportation and
planar travel. The demiplane can be a labyrinth, a cage,
a tower, or any similar confined structure or area of
your choice.
The special component for this version of the spell is a
miniature representation of the prison made from jade.
Minimus Containment. The target shrinks to a height
of 1 inch and is imprisoned inside a gemstone or similar
object. Light can pass through the gemstone normally
(allowing the target to see out and other creatures to see
in), but nothing else can pass through, even by means of
teleportation or planar travel. The gemstone can’t be cut
or broken while the spell remains in effect.
The special component for this version of the spell
is a large, transparent gemstone, such as a corundum,
diamond, or ruby.
Slumber. The target falls asleep and can’t be awoken.
The special component for this version of the spell
consists of rare soporific herbs.
Ending the Spell. During the casting of the spell,
in any of its versions, you can specify a condition that
will cause the spell to end and release the target. The
condition can be as specific or as elaborate as you
choose, but the DM must agree that the condition is
reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass. The
conditions can be based on a creature’s name, identity,
or deity but otherwise must be based on observable
actions or qualities and not based on intangibles such as
level, class, or hit points.
A dispel magic spell can end the spell only if it is cast
as a 9th-level spell, targeting either the prison or the
special component used to create it.
You can use a particular special component to create
only one prison at a time. If you cast the spell again
using the same component, the target of the first casting
is immediately freed from its binding.

additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

A target that is held shut by a mundane lock or that
is stuck or barred becomes unlocked, unstuck, or
unbarred. If the object has multiple locks, only one of
them is unlocked.
If you choose a target that is held shut with arcane
lock, that spell is suppressed for 10 minutes, during
which time the target can be opened and shut normally.
When you cast the spell, a loud knock, audible from as
far away as 300 feet, emanates from the target object.

One creature or object of your choice that you can see
within range rises vertically, up to 20 feet, and remains
suspended there for the duration. The spell can levitate
a target that weighs up to 500 pounds. An unwilling
creature that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw
is unaffected.
The target can move only by pushing or pulling
against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as
a wall or a ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were
climbing. You can change the target’s altitude by up to
20 feet in either direction on your turn. If you are the
target, you can move up or down as part of your move.
Otherwise, you can use your action to move the target,
which must remain within the spell’s range.
When the spell ends, the target floats gently to the
ground if it is still aloft.
Light
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, M (a firefly or phosphorescent moss)
Duration: 1 hour
You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any
dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright
light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional
20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely
covering the object with something opaque blocks the
light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it
as an action.
If you target an object held or worn by a hostile
creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity
saving throw to avoid the spell.
Lightning Bolt
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (100-foot line)
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur and a rod of amber, crystal, or glass)
Duration: Instantaneous
A stroke of lightning forming a line 100 feet long and 5
feet wide blasts out from you in a direction you choose.
Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving
throw. A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The lightning ignites flammable objects in the area
that aren’t being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by
1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Locate Creature
4th-level divination
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur from a bloodhound)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
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.
Mage Armor
1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather)
Duration: 8 hours
You touch a willing creature who isn’t wearing armor,
and a protective magical force surrounds it until the
spell ends. The target’s base AC becomes 13 + its
Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons
armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action.
Mage Hand
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose
within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until
you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is
ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this
spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can
use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked
door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open
container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can
move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry
more than 10 pounds.
Magic Missile
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each
dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see
within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its
target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can
direct them to hit one creature or several.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one
more dart for each slot level above 1st.
Magic Weapon
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You touch a nonmagical weapon. Until the spell ends,
that weapon becomes a magic weapon with a +1 bonus
to attack rolls and damage rolls.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the bonus increases to
+2. When you use a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the
bonus increases to +3.
Major Image
3rd-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
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. 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 Intelligence
(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.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell lasts until
dispelled, without requiring your concentration.
Mass Cure Wounds
5th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A wave of healing energy washes out from a point of
your choice within range. Choose up to six creatures
in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on that point. Each
target regains hit points equal to 3d8 + your spellcasting
ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead
or constructs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 6th level or higher, the healing increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
Mass Heal
9th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A flood of healing energy flows from you into injured
creatures around you. You restore up to 700 hit points,
divided as you choose among any number of creatures
that you can see within range. Creatures healed by
this spell are also cured of all diseases and any effect
making them blinded or deafened. This spell has no
effect on undead or constructs.
Mass Healing Word
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
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.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the healing increases by
1d4 for each slot level above 3rd.
Mass Suggestion
6th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, M (a snake’s tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil)
Duration: 24 hours
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 Wisdom 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.
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.
At Higher Levels. 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.
Maze
8th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You banish a creature that you can see within range into
a labyrinthine demiplane. The target remains there for
the duration or until it escapes the maze.
The target can use its action to attempt to escape.
When it does so, it makes a DC 20 Intelligence check. If
it succeeds, it escapes, and the spell ends (a minotaur or
goristro demon automatically succeeds).
When the spell ends, the target reappears in the
space it left or, if that space is occupied, in the nearest
unoccupied space.
Meteor Swarm
9th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 1 mile
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Blazing orbs of fire plummet to the ground at four
different points you can see within range. Each creature
in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on each point you
choose must make a Dexterity saving throw. The sphere
spreads around corners. A creature takes 20d6 fire
damage and 20d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed
save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A
creature in the area of more than one fiery burst is
affected only once.
The spell damages objects in the area and ignites
flammable objects that aren’t being worn or carried.
Minor Illusion
Illusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: 1 minute
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 your voice, someone
else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any
other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated
throughout the duration, or you can make discrete
sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object—such as a chair,
muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger
than a 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 Intelligence (Investigation) check
against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the
illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to
the creature.
Misty Step
2nd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, you teleport up to 30
feet to an unoccupied space that you can see.

7th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a miniature platinum sword with a grip and pommel of copper and zinc, worth 250 gp)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
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.
Otto’s Irresistible Dance
6th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, 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 Dexterity 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 Wisdom saving
throw to regain control of itself. On a successful save,
the spell ends.
Passwall
5th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of sesame seeds)
Duration: 1 hour
A passage appears at a point of your choice that you
can see on a wooden, plaster, or stone surface (such as
a wall, a ceiling, or a floor) within range, and lasts for
the duration. You choose the opening’s dimensions: up
to 5 feet wide, 8 feet tall, and 20 feet deep. The passage
creates no instability in a structure surrounding it.
When the opening disappears, any creatures or
objects still in the passage created by the spell are safely
ejected to an unoccupied space nearest to the surface on
which you cast the spell.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet

This spell’s damage increases by 1d12 when you reach
5th level (2d12), 11th level (3d12), and 17th level (4d12).
Power Word Kill
9th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
You utter a word of power that can compel one creature
you can see within range to die instantly. If the
creature you choose has 100 hit points or fewer, it dies.
Otherwise, the spell has no effect.
Power Word Stun
8th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
You speak a word of power that can overwhelm the
mind of one creature you can see within range, leaving
it dumbfounded. If the target has 150 hit points or fewer,
it is stunned. Otherwise, the spell has no effect.
The stunned target must make a Constitution saving
throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful
save, this stunning effect ends.
Prayer of Healing
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Up to six creatures of your choice that you can see
within range each regain hit points equal to 2d8 + your
spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on
undead or constructs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the healing increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
Prestidigitation
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Up to 1 hour
This spell is a minor magical trick that novice
spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the
following magical effects within range:
•   You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect,
such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musi-
cal notes, or an odd odor.
•   You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a
torch, or a small campfire.
•   You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger
than 1 cubic foot.
•   You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliv-
ing material for 1 hour.
•   You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear
on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
•   You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image
that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of
your next turn.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to
three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time,
and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Protection from Energy
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
For the duration, the willing creature you touch has
resistance to one damage type of your choice: acid, cold,
fire, lightning, or thunder.
Raise Dead
5th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 500 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
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 neutralizes any poisons 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 it doesn’t
restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking
body parts or organs integral for its survival—its head,
for instance—the spell automatically fails.
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target
takes a −4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and
ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest,
the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
Ray of Frost
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A frigid beam of blue-white light streaks toward a
creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack
against the target. On a hit, it takes 1d8 cold damage,
and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of
your next turn.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach
5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
Regenerate
7th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a prayer wheel and holy water)
Duration: 1 hour
You touch a creature and stimulate its natural healing
ability. The target regains 4d8 + 15 hit points. For the
duration of the spell, the target regains 1 hit point at the
start of each of its turns (10 hit points each minute).
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.
Remove Curse
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
At your touch, all curses affecting one creature or
object end. If the object is a cursed magic item, its curse
remains, but the spell breaks its owner’s attunement to
the object so it can be removed or discarded.
Resistance
Abjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a miniature cloak)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell

the die before or after making the saving throw. The
spell then ends.
Resurrection
7th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
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 neutralizes any poisons and cures normal
diseases afflicting the creature when it died. It doesn’t,
however, remove magical diseases, curses, and the like;
if such effects aren’t removed prior to casting the spell,
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. Every time the target finishes a long rest,
the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
Casting this spell to restore life to a creature that has
been dead for one year or longer taxes you greatly. Until
you finish a long rest, you can’t cast spells again, and
you have disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks,
and saving throws.
Revivify
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (diamonds worth 300 gp, which the spell consumes)

Duration: 1 minute
You ward a creature within range against attack. Until
the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded
creature with an attack or a harmful spell must first
make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature must choose a new target or lose the attack
or spell. This spell doesn’t protect the warded creature
from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.
If the warded creature makes an attack or casts a spell
that affects an enemy creature, this spell ends.
Shatter
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a chip of mica)
Duration: Instantaneous
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 Constitution 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.

for the duration.
Shocking Grasp
Evocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to
a creature you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack
against the target. You have advantage on the attack roll
if the target is wearing armor made of metal. On a hit,
the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and it can’t take
reactions until the start of its next turn.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach
5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
Silence
2nd-level illusion (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, 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,

Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is
impossible there.
Silent Image
1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create the image of an object, a creature, or some
other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot
cube. The image appears at a spot within range and
lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn’t
accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.
You can use your action to cause the image to move to
any 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.
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 Intelligence
(Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a
creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature
can see through the image.
Sleep
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket)
Duration: 1 minute
This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber.
Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures
this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of
a point you choose within range are affected in
ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring
unconscious creatures).
Starting with the creature that has the lowest current
hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls
unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes
damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the
sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from
the total before moving on to the creature with the next
lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal
to or less than the remaining total for that creature to
be affected.
Undead and creatures immune to being charmed
aren’t affected by this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for
each slot level above 1st.
Spare the Dying
Necromancy cantrip

Speak with Dead
3rd-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (burning incense)
Duration: 10 minutes
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 five
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 recognizes 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.
Spider Climb
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a drop of bitumen and a spider)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch
gains the ability to move up, down, and across vertical
surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving
its hands free. The target also gains a climbing speed
equal to its walking speed.
Spirit Guardians
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot radius)
Components: V, S, M (a holy symbol)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You call forth spirits to protect you. They flit around you
to a distance of 15 feet for the duration. If you are good
or neutral, their spectral form appears angelic or fey
(your choice). If you are evil, they appear fiendish.
When you cast this spell, you can designate any
number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it.
An affected creature’s speed is halved in the area, and
when the creature enters the area for the first time on
a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8
radiant damage (if you are good or neutral) or 3d8
necrotic damage (if you are evil). On a successful save,
the creature takes half as much damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Spiritual Weapon
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that
lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again.
When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell
attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On
a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your
spellcasting ability modifier.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the
weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a
creature within 5 feet of it.
The weapon can take whatever form you choose.
Clerics of deities who are associated with a particular
weapon (as St. Cuthbert is known for his mace and
Thor for his hammer) make this spell’s effect resemble
that weapon.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by
1d8 for every two slot levels above the 2nd.
Stoneskin
4th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (diamond dust worth 100 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
This spell turns the flesh of a willing creature you touch
as hard as stone. Until the spell ends, the target has
resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and
slashing damage.
Suggestion
2nd-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, M (a snake’s tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil)
Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
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 Wisdom 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.
You can also specify conditions that will trigger a
special activity during the duration. For example, you
might suggest that a knight give 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.
Sunburst
8th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (fire and a piece of sunstone)
Duration: Instantaneous
Brilliant sunlight flashes in a 60-foot radius centered
on a point you choose within range. Each creature in
that light must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, a creature takes 12d6 radiant damage and is
blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half
as much damage and isn’t blinded by this spell. Undead
and oozes have disadvantage on this saving throw.
A creature blinded by this spell makes another
Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns.
On a successful save, it is no longer blinded.
This spell dispels any darkness in its area that was
created by a spell.
Teleport
7th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
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. The DM rolls
d100 and consults the table.
Familiarity. “Permanent circle” means a permanent
teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know.
“Associated object” means that you possess an object
taken from the desired destination within the last six
months, such as a book from a wizard’s library, bed
linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a
lich’s secret tomb.
“Very familiar” is a place you have been very often, a
place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see
when you cast the spell. “Seen casually” is someplace
you have seen more than once but with which you aren’t
very familiar. “Viewed once” is 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” is 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.
On Target. You and your group (or the target object)
appear where you want to.
Off Target. You and your group (or the target object)
appear a random distance away from the destination
in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10 ×
1d10 percent of the distance that was to be traveled.
For example, if you tried to travel 120 miles, landed off
target, and rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then you
would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. The DM
determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a
d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east,
and so on around the points of the compass. If you were
teleporting to a coastal city and wound up 18 miles out
at sea, you could be in trouble.
Similar Area. You and your group (or the target
object) wind up in a different area that’s visually or
thematically similar to the target area. If you are
heading for your home laboratory, for example, you
might wind up in another wizard’s laboratory or in
an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same
tools and implements as your laboratory. Generally,
you appear in the closest similar place, but since the
spell has no range limit, you could conceivably wind up
anywhere on the plane.
Mishap. The spell’s unpredictable magic results in a
difficult journey. Each teleporting creature (or the target
object) takes 3d10 force damage, and the DM rerolls on
the table to see where you wind up (multiple mishaps
can occur, dealing damage each time).

Thaumaturgy
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Up to 1 minute
You manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural
power, within range. You create one of the following
magical effects within range:
•  Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal
for 1 minute.
•  You cause flames to flicker, brighten, dim, or change
color for 1 minute.
•  You cause harmless tremors in the ground
for 1 minute.
•  You create an instantaneous sound that originates
from a point of your choice within range, such as
a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, or omi-
nous whispers.
•  You instantaneously cause an unlocked door or win-
dow to fly open or slam shut.
•  You alter the appearance of your eyes for 1 minute.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to
three of its 1-minute effects active at a time, and you can
dismiss such an effect as an action.
Thunderwave
1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cube)
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you. Each
creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you must
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10
feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature
takes half as much damage and isn’t pushed.
In addition, unsecured objects that are completely
within the area of effect are automatically pushed 10 feet
away from you by the spell’s effect, and the spell emits a
thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
Time Stop
9th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
You briefly stop the flow of time for everyone but
yourself. No time passes for other creatures, while you
take 1d4 + 1 turns in a row, during which you can use
actions and move as normal.
This spell ends if one of the actions you use during
this period, or any effects that you create during this
period, affects a creature other than you or an object
being worn or carried by someone other than you. In
addition, the spell ends if you move to a place more than
1,000 feet from the location where you cast it.
True Resurrection
9th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a sprinkle of holy water and diamonds worth at least 25,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a creature that has been dead for no longer
than 200 years and that died for any reason except
old age. If the creature’s soul is free and willing, the
creature is restored to life with all its hit points.
This spell closes all wounds, neutralizes any poison,
cures all diseases, and lifts any curses affecting the
creature when it died. The spell replaces damaged or
missing organs and limbs.
The spell can even provide a new body if the original
no longer exists, in which case you must speak the
creature’s name. The creature then appears in an
unoccupied space you choose within 10 feet of you.
True Seeing
6th-level divination
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (an ointment for the eyes that costs 25 gp; is made from mushroom powder, saffron, and fat; and is consumed by the spell)
Duration: 1 hour
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.
Wall of Fire
4th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small piece of phosphorus)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a wall of fire on a solid surface within
range. You can make the wall up to 60 feet long, 20
feet high, and 1 foot thick, or a ringed wall up to 20 feet
in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall is
opaque and lasts for the duration.
When the wall appears, each creature within its area
must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes 5d8 fire damage, or half as much damage
on a successful save.
One side of the wall, selected by you when you cast
this spell, deals 5d8 fire damage to each creature that
ends its turn within 10 feet of that side or inside the
wall. A creature takes the same damage when it enters
the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.
The other side of the wall deals no damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by
1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
Wall of Stone
5th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small block of granite)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
A nonmagical wall of solid stone springs into existence
at a point you choose within range. The wall is 6 inches
thick and is composed of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels.
Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other
panel. Alternatively, you can create 10-foot-by-20-foot
panels that are only 3 inches thick.
If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it
appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall
(your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all
sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface),
that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a
success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so
that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.
The wall can have any shape you desire, though it
can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object.
The wall doesn’t need to be vertical or rest on any firm
foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly
supported by existing stone. Thus, you can use this spell
to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.
If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you
must halve the size of each panel to create supports.
You can crudely shape the wall to create crenellations,
battlements, and so on.
The wall is an object made of stone that can be
damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 15 and
30 hit points per inch of thickness. Reducing a panel
to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected
panels to collapse at the DM’s discretion.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for
its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and
can’t be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when
the spell ends.
Warding Bond
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a pair of platinum rings worth at least 50 gp each, which you and the target must wear for the duration)
Duration: 1 hour
This spell wards a willing creature you touch and
creates a mystic connection between you and the target
until the spell ends. While the target is within 60 feet of
you, it gains a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws, and
it has resistance to all damage. Also, each time it takes
damage, you take the same amount of damage.
The spell ends if you drop to 0 hit points or if you
and the target become separated by more than 60 feet.
It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the
connected creatures. You can also dismiss the spell
as an action.
Web
2nd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of spiderweb)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You conjure a mass of thick, sticky webbing at a point of
your choice within range. The webs fill a 20-foot cube
from that point for the duration. The webs are difficult
terrain and lightly obscure their area.
If the webs aren’t anchored between two solid masses
(such as walls or trees) or layered across a floor, wall,
or ceiling, the conjured web collapses on itself, and the
spell ends at the start of your next turn. Webs layered
over a flat surface have a depth of 5 feet.
Each creature that starts its turn in the webs or that
enters them during its turn must make a Dexterity
saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained
as long as it remains in the webs or until it breaks free.
A creature restrained by the webs can use its action to
make a Strength check against your spell save DC. If it
succeeds, it is no longer restrained.
The webs are flammable. Any 5-foot cube of webs
exposed to fire burns away in 1 round, dealing 2d4 fire
damage to any creature that starts its turn in the fire.
