Absent Mind’s Aid 

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of string)
Duration: 8 hours
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You pull a loop of string around your ring finger while touching a Medium or smaller object. For the duration of the spell, as an action you can remove the string to determine the location of the object if it’s within 100 feet of you. Until the end of your next turn, you mentally receive an image of the location if it is familiar to you, otherwise you discern the direction to its location. This spell can’t locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the object. The spell ends when you remove the string, or if you cast it again. 

Charles’ Chunk 

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a nugget of pewter)
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard

The spell creates a fist-size chunk of hard, gray matter from the Arcana in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. 

You can use your action to reshape the chunk and move it along the ground up to 30 feet. It can take any basic shape no larger than 1 cubic foot, but not one that ordinarily requires a high degree of craftsmanship. It has AC 11, 10 hit points, and weighs 5 pounds. It can’t attack, activate magic items, or move if it’s holding more than 10 pounds. The chunk lasts the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. It vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. 

Eavesdrop

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 10 minutes
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Warlock, Wizard

For the duration, you can use a bonus action to focus on a single source of sound within range, tuning out any others that are quieter than a shout. You also automatically hear both sides of any message spell cast within range. 

Kirra’s Quick Dof 

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

Additionally, until the end of your next turn a creature with a free hand can try to strip the target. The creature can make a steal check instead of an attack roll: the attacker makes a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If the attacker is successful, they steal the clothing or equipment from the target. 

Moment of Resolve

You learn about the nature of an object you can see that is entirely within range. As part of casting the spell, you name a physical property, and discern its reasonably exact measurement.

• Length, in tenths of an inch 

• Weight, in hundredths of a pound

You reach into a nearby shadow and pull out one of the following items: a set of thief’s tools, 50 feet of rope, or a matched set of two daggers. 

Although these items are shaped from pure shadow and very cold to the touch, they are as solid as any real object. The items you create dissipate into shadowy mist when the spell ends.

Speaking Page 

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Wizard

You touch a note, book, or other composition in a language you can read, and a voice you can hear in your mind reads it to you. The spell can read through solid matter such as paper or a book’s binding, but a thin sheet of lead blocks the effect. You decide the sound of the voice and where it begins reading from.

Stagecraft

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Artificer, Bard

You hum along with the Universal Symphony for a moment, and coax the Arcana to aid in your artistic process. You create one of the following magical effects within range: 

• You cause light to shine from a point you choose within range in a cone up to 20 feet long. 

• You capture an image you see, inscribing it instantly onto a sheet of blank paper in grainy black-and-white. Text captured this way is not clear enough to read. 

• You capture the sound of yourself playing an instrument, singing, or speaking for up to 1 minute, or play back a previously captured performance. If you capture a second performance, the previous one is lost. A creature gains advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks within range while it plays back. 

• You enchant a mask you touch that can cover a creature’s eyes, making its wearer’s face unrecognizable with an illusion for 1 hour. The mask remains visible, and the creature’s face appears as an anonymous member of its species. Observers are aware the creature’s face is obscured with magic, and if a creature within the spell’s range uses its action to examine the illusion, the creature can see through it with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. 

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Te target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you gain the ability to cast the spell for 1 minute, and the target loses the ability to cast the spell during this time. You treat the spell as known or prepared by you, and you must spend spell slots as normal to cast it. If the spell is not on your class’s spell list, you must succeed on a spellcasting ability check (DC = 10 + spell level) when you cast it, otherwise the spell fails and your spell slot is wasted.

A creature enclosed in a light prison can attack, cast spells, and otherwise act normally as long as it stays within the light prison. However, if a creature passes through the walls of a light prison enclosing it, it takes 1d8 radiant damage and is blinded until the end of its next turn. Once a creature passes through the walls of a light prison surrounding it, the effect ends for that creature.

When this spell ends, the chain returns to a normal size. 

As an action on your turn, you may command the chain to move up to 30 feet to a point you can see. In addition, as part of this action, the chain makes use one of the following features.

• Constrict. If the chain is currently grappling a creature, it can constrict to deal damage. The grappled creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to your spellcasting modifier.

• Extend. The chain extends in a straight line to its full length until the start of your next turn, hindering creatures that try to move through its area. Creatures who move through one of the chain's spaces treat the area as if it were difficult terrain. While the chain is extended, it cannot move.

Mute

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (small bit of wool)
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Bard, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You touch a creature or object of medium size or smaller, muting the target for the duration. If the target is a creature and is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw to avoid this effect. A muted target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

No sound can be created by the target or objects they wear or carry, so long as the origin of the sound is within 10 feet of them. Also, if the target is a creature, you choose one of the following additional effects when you cast the spell: (1) the target can't cast spells that require verbal components or (2) when the target casts a spell, it can cast it without any verbal components, and any spell they cast produces no sound.

Open Mind

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Classes: Bard, Wizard

You swiftly crush the mental defenses of the target with a touch as it makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, it has disadvantage on Wisdom and Intelligence saving throws for as long as you concentrate on the spell and for 1 round after you stop concentrating on it. A successful Wisdom saving throw negates this effect. If the target is currently using a spell or spell-like ability that grants it protection or immunity against divination or enchant spells, you can attempt an Intelligence (Arcana) ability check to identify that spell with no action required when you touch the target. If you identify such an effect, you can forgo the normal effect of open mind and instead attempt to dispel that effect, as if you had cast dispel magic as a 2nd-level spell. 

Oversized Stone Hammer

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Classes: Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Sorcerer, Wizard

It counts as a martial weapon with which you are proficient. It deals 2d10 bludgeoning damage on a hit and has the heavy, reach, and two-handed properties. In addition, when you use the attack action while wielding the oversized stone hammer, you can then make a shove attack as a bonus action, and if you choose to push the target, it is pushed 5 more feet away.

If you drop the weapon, the stones and rocks disperse on the ground at the end of the turn. Thereafter, while the spell persists, you can use a bonus action touch the ground to cause the hammer to reappear in your hand.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 3rd- or 4th-level spell slot, the damage increases to 3d10. When you cast it using a 5th- or 6th-level spell slot, the damage increases to 4d10. When you cast it using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases to 5d10.

Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Artificer, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard 

Whenever you cast a spell requiring a ranged spell attack while the target is in melee range, you can concentrate the spell’s energy to a smaller point, negating the disadvantage, and allowing the spell to deal a critical hit on a roll of 17-20.

Rain

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet (40-foot radius)
Components: V, S, M (a tiny spider)
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Cleric, Druid

Choose a point within range in which a 100 feet high, 40-foot radius cylinder is soaked by a sudden torrential downpour. Creatures within this area have disadvantage on saves against lightning and cold damage, and advantage on saves against fire, for the duration. All nonmagical uncovered flames within the area are extinguished. The area also interacts with other area-of-effect spells:

• Spells that cause fire damage cause steam clouds, giving the effect of the fog cloud spell in all overlapping hexes.

• Spells that cause cold damage cause the ground to be coated in ice, giving the effect of the grease spell in all overlapping hexes.

• Spells that cause lightning damage electrocute the soaked ground. Creatures standing within the cylinder that did not take the original lightning damage must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking half the normal damage on a failure, and no damage on a success.

Rebound

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you or a creature you can see within 60 feet of you is hit by an attack that targets only one creature
Range: 60 feet

Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a ruby worth at least 10 gp)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You imbue yourself with a spirit of whimsical grandeur. For the duration, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. In addition, whenever you take damage, that damage is reduced by an amount equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Each time this occurs, an illusion makes it appear as if the attack, spell, or effect that damaged you instead failed to affect you. Any additional effects that accompany the damage (such as forced movement or being grappled) still occur, but the illusion causes creatures around you to rationalize those effects as something you did on purpose. 

A creature who uses their action to examine you can determine the effect 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 it for the remainder of the spell’s duration, though the spell’s damage reduction benefit remains in effect. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you roll 1d8 and add the result to the amount of damage you reduce for every two slot levels above 2nd.

Components: S, M (a vial of arcane ink worth at least 10 GP, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You inscribe a sigil of abjuration on a surface within range. When you inscribe the sigil, choose a school of magic for the sigil to target. The sigil becomes invisible and remains on the surface for an hour, or until dispelled. The next time a spell of the chosen school of magic is cast within 30 feet of that sigil, the spell fails, absorbed by the sigil. The sigil can only absorb a spell of its same level or lower. The sigil can absorb two spells before it becomes overcharged. If you are within 60 feet of the sigil when it becomes overcharged, you can use your reaction to detonate the arcane energies it accumulated. Each creature within 30 feet of the sigil must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d8 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If you are not in range or you don’t choose to detonate it, the sigil simply dissipates into arcane dust and is dispelled. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can interrupt spells of a level equal or lesser than the level of the spell slot you used. In addition, the sigil can absorb an additional spell of the chosen school for each level above the 2nd, and the damage of the overcharge increases by 1d8 for each spell it absorbed.

Shadow Shield

Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (any cloak or cape)

You must be touching a surface at all times. 

While shadowslipping, you can’t speak aloud or manipulate objects, and any objects you were carrying or holding can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with. 

You can’t attack or cast spells. You can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks, and you treat liquids as if they were solid surfaces. 

You can end the spell and revert to your normal form as an action, appearing where your shadow was. If there’s not enough room for your normal form to appear, you take 1d10 force damage, and are shunted to the nearest available space. 

If you drop to 0 hit points while shadowslipping you instantly revert back to your normal form, ignoring any excess damage, and appearing where your shadow was destroyed. If your shadow is destroyed while shadowslipping, you don’t regain your shadow until the next dawn, and you have disadvantage on death saving throws until your shadow returns. 

When you revert back to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed.

At Higher Levels. This spell improves with the caster’s level, providing a +1 shield at the 5th level, a +2 shield at the 10th level, and a +3 shield at the 15th level.

Components: V, S, M (an object made of cloth)
Duration: 10 minutes
Classes: Druid, Wizard

You target an object made of silk and transform it into steel. The object’s weight and flexibility remains the same, but gains all other benefits of steel. You can target a scarf or similar piece of clothing and gain the benefits of wielding a shield for the duration of the spell, provided you hold the scarf in your hand. Simultaneously, a scarf or similar piece of clothing can be used as a whip while holding it. 

If you target clothing that is being worn, the clothing gains the statistics of a type of metallic armor as shown in the table below. Regardless of the armor, it doesn’t require proficiency to wield effectively, doesn’t have a Strength requirement, and doesn’t impose disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
