Exalted Presence

This feature replaces the Inspiring Surge feature.

Starting at 18th level, your presence inspires your allies to withstand any defeat. When a creature affected by your Rallying Cry during your last turn is reduced to 0 hit points, but not killed outright, it is reduced to 1 hit point instead. It must then finish a long rest before it can benefit from this feature again.

Monk

Disciplines of the Initiate

Starting at 3rd level, you can learn the following disciplines:

Become the Teapot. You roll with the incoming energy, attuning to element, becoming it. You can spend 1 ki point to cast absorb elements*.

Effortless Step. The air around you works in unison with your movements, rising you up as you jump. Your jump height and distance are doubled (quadrupled with Step of the Wind) and you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks related to jumping.

Elemental Initiate. You learn two of the following cantrips: control flames*, gust*, mold earth*, or shape water*. You learn the remaining cantrips from this list at 6th level.

Enduring Mountain Stance. As your ki roots you to the ground, your body and mind become as rigid and unyielding as the ground below you. When you use the Dodge action, you cannot be moved, pushed, grappled, frightened, or knocked prone against your will, even if magically compelled to do so. This effect lasts until the beginning of your next turn. You must be standing on the ground to use this ability.

Fangs of the Fire Snake. When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to cause tendrils of flame to stretch out from your fists and feet. Your reach with your unarmed strikes increases by 5 feet for that action, as well as the rest of the turn. A hit with such an attack deals fire damage instead of bludgeoning damage, and the first attack that hits on that turn deals an extra 1d10 fire damage. You can spend 1 ki point on any subsequent hit on that turn to also deal an extra 1d10 fire damage.

Fang of the Frost Wolf. You summon a shard of razor-sharp ice and fling it at your foe. You can spend 1 ki point to cast ice knife*.

Fist of Unbroken Air. You can create blasts of compressed air that strike like a mighty fist. When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to increase your reach by 10 feet for that action, as well as the rest of the turn. Once on that turn when such an attack hits, you can force the target to make a Strength saving throw or be pushed back 10 feet and be knocked prone.

Golden Snake's Icy Path. Whenever you take the Dash action, you can leave a trail of slippery ice for any movement you make along a surface during that turn. This ice counts as difficult terrain and lasts until the start of your next turn.

Rumbling Badger. You shake the ground, causing a tremor that knocks over your foes. You can spend 1 ki point to cast earth tremor*.

Rush of the Gale Spirits. You send a blast of air outward with a thrust of your open palm. You can spend 2 ki points to cast gust of wind.

Water Whip. You can spend 1 ki point as a bonus action to create a whip of water that shoves and pulls a creature to unbalance it. A creature that you can see that is within 30 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier, and you can either knock it prone or pull it up to 25 feet closer to you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, and you don't pull it or knock it prone. You cannot use this discipline and cast a spell during the same turn.

Disciplines of the Adept

Starting at 6th level, you can learn the following disciplines:

Avatar of the Elements. As an ultimate display of your mastery of the elements, you can spend 10 ki points as an action to have the elements of earth, fire, air, and water form a protective sphere around your body, gaining multiple benefits for 1 minute. While this ability is active, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage. You also gain a burrow, fly, and swim speed equal to your movement speed. Lastly, you can use any of the following abilities as a bonus action:

Blade Ward

Abjuration cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

You extend your hand and trace a sigil of warding in the air. Until the end of your next turn, your target has resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt by weapon attacks.

Catnap

3rd-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: S, M (a pinch of sand)
• Duration: 1 minute

You make a calming gesture, and up to three willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range fall unconscious for the spell's duration. The spell ends on a target early if it takes damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake. If a target remains unconscious for the full duration, that target gains the benefit of a short rest, and it can't be affected by this spell again until it finishes a long rest.

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

Circle of Death

6th-level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 150 feet
• Components: V, S, M (the powder of a crushed black pearl worth at least 500 gp)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60-foot-radius sphere from a point within range. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 8d6 necrotic damage and can't regain hit points until the beginning of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and suffers none of the spell's other effects.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Cordon of Arrows

2nd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 5 feet
• Components: V, S, M (four or more arrows or bolts)
• Duration: 8 hours

You plant four pieces of nonmagical ammunition - arrows or crossbow bolts - in the ground within range and lay magic upon them to protect an area. Until the spell ends, whenever a creature other than you comes within 30 feet of the ammunition for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, one piece of ammunition flies up to strike it. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d10 piercing damage. The piece of ammunition is then destroyed. The spell ends when no ammunition remains.

When you cast this spell, you can designate any creatures you choose, and the spell ignores them.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the amount of ammunition that can be affected increases by two for each slot level above 2nd.

Counterspell

3rd-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within range 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.

When you use your reaction to identify a spell as it is being cast (using the Identifying a Spell rules in Xanathar's Guide to Everything) and succeed, you can cast this spell as part of the same reaction.

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.

Create Food and Water

3rd-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a freshly picked berry, fruit or mushroom, which is consumed)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You create 45 pounds of food and 30 gallons of water on the ground or in containers within range, enough to sustain up to fifteen humanoids or five steeds for 24 hours. The food is bland but nourishing, and spoils if uneaten after 24 hours. The water is clean and doesn't go bad.

Create or Destroy Water

1st-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of water drawn from a natural source if creating water or a few grains of sand if destroying it, both of which are consumed)
• Duration: Instantaneous

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you create or destroy 10 additional gallons of water, or the size of the cube increases by 5 feet, for each slot level above 1st.

Find Familiar

1st-level conjuration (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it acts on its own turn on your initiative. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

If this spell is cast by a familiar summoned by this spell, it fails and is wasted.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.

Find Traps

2nd-level divination

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.

You learn the approximate location of a trap you sense, if it's mechanical or magical, and the general nature of the danger posed by it, but not any information about its detailed workings, nor do you gain any insight on how to disable or bypass it.

Flame Arrows

3rd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 hour

You touch a quiver containing arrows or bolts. When a target is hit by a ranged weapon attack using a piece of ammunition drawn from the quiver, the target takes an extra 1d6 fire damage. The spell's magic ends on a piece of ammunition when it hits or misses, and the spell ends when twelve pieces of ammunition have been drawn from the quiver or you cast it again.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the number of pieces of ammunition you can affect with this spell increases by two for each slot level above 3rd.

Flame Strike

5th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (pinch of sulfur)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A vertical column of divine fire roars down from the heavens in a location you specify. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 fire damage and 4d8 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Undead have disadvantage on the saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the fire damage or the radiant damage (your choice) increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.

Forcecage

7st-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 100 feet
• Components: V, S, M (ruby dust worth 1,500 gp)
• Duration: 1 hour

An immobile, invisible, cube-shaped prison composed of magical force springs into existence around an area you choose within range. It can be up to 10 feet on a side, creating a solid barrier that prevents any matter from passing through it and blocking any spells cast into or out from the area.

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

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

This spell can't be dispelled by dispel magic.

Goodberry

1st-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a sprig of mistletoe, which is consumed)
• Duration: Instantaneous

Up to ten berries appear in your hand and are infused with magic for the duration. A creature can use its action to eat one berry or administer it to an incapacitated creature. Eating a berry restores 1 hit point, and the berry provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day. The healing from a goodberry cannot be increased in any way.

The berries lose their potency if they have not been consumed within 24 hours of the casting of this spell.

Identify

1st-level divination (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a pearl worth at least 100 gp and an owl feather)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement 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. The spell does not, reveal any curses.

If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.

Immolation

5th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Flames wreathe one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the target also burns for the spell's duration. The burning target sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the saving throw. It takes 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one. These magical flames can't be extinguished by nonmagical means.

If damage from this spell kills a target, the target is turned to ash.

Lightning Arrow

3rd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the spell's duration, the weapon's ammunition, or the weapon itself if it's a thrown weapon, transforms into a bolt of lightning. Make the attack roll as normal. The target takes 6d8 lightning damage on a hit, or half as much damage on a miss, instead of the weapon's normal damage.

Whether you hit or miss, each creature within 10 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. Each of these creatures takes 3d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The piece of ammunition or weapon then returns to its normal form.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage for both effects of the spell increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.

Leomund's Tiny Hut

3rd-level evocation (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self (10-foot-radius hemisphere)
• Components: V, S, M (a small crystal bead worth at least 25 gp, which is consumed)
• Duration: 8 hours

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

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

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

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 (counting as one singular application of damage for the purposes of failing death saving throws, triggering concentration checks, and other effects), and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. Any bonuses to the damage of the spell are only added once for each target.

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.

2nd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (powdered rhubarb leaf and an adder's stomach)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A shimmering green arrow streaks toward a target within range and bursts in a spray of acid. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 6d4 acid damage immediately and 2d4 acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a miss, the arrow splashes the target with acid for half as much of the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next two turns.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage (both initial and later) increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 2nd.

Mind Sliver

Enchantment cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: 1 round

You drive a disorienting spike of psychic energy into the mind of one creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or take 1d8 psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from the next Intelligence saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach certain levels: 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

• 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 two melee spell attacks against targets of your choice within 5 feet of the sword. On a hit, a target takes 3d12 force damage. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to move the sword up to 60 feet to a spot you can see and repeat these attacks against the same targets or different ones.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 7th.

Phantasmal Killer

4th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 4 rounds

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

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

Protection from Evil and Good

1st-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of holy water or a sprinkle of silver dust)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

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.

Powerful curses, such as those made by legendary creatures or items, may require more elaborate means of ending them, such as casting this spell at a higher level. If the spell fails to remove a curse, you instead gain knowledge in how to end it.

Simulacrum

7th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 12 hours
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (snow or ice in quantities sufficient to made a life-size copy of the duplicated creature; some hair, fingernail clippings, or other piece of that creature's body placed inside the snow or ice; and powdered ruby worth 1,500 gp, sprinkled over the duplicate and consumed by the spell)
• Duration: Until dispelled

You shape an illusory duplicate of one beast or humanoid that is within range for the entire casting time of the spell. The duplicate is a creature, partially real and formed from ice or snow, and it can take actions and otherwise be affected as a normal creature.

It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's hit point maximum and is formed without any equipment. Otherwise, the illusion uses all the statistics of the creature it duplicates, except that it is a construct and immune to all effects that would alter its form (such as the polymorph spell).

The simulacrum is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes and acting on your turn in combat. The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful, so it never increases its level or other abilities, nor can it regain expended spell slots or abilities that are recovered at the end of a short or long rest.

If the simulacrum is damaged, you can repair it in an alchemical laboratory, using rare herbs and minerals worth 100 gp per hit point it regains. The simulacrum lasts until it drops to 0 hit points, at which point it reverts to snow and melts instantly.

If you cast this spell again, any currently active duplicates you created with this spell are instantly destroyed.

If this spell is cast by a construct created by this spell, it fails and is wasted.

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

Choose up to two creatures you can see within range. A target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or fall prone and become unable to take reactions until the beginning of its next turn. Additionally, a creature that failed its saving throw must repeat it at the beginning of its next turn or fall unconscious for the duration of the spell, until it takes any damage, or another creature uses an action to slap or shake it awake.

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, you may choose one additional target for each slot level above 1st.

Snilloc's Snowball Swarm

2nd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of ice or a small white rock chip)
• Duration: Instantaneous

A flurry of magic snowballs erupts from a point you choose within range. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 cold damage and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the beginning of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and its speed is not reduced.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

Stoneskin

4th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth 100 gp)
• 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.

True Strike

Divination cantrip

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 round

You extend your hand and point a finger at a target in range, granting your allies a brief insight into the target's defenses. Attack rolls against the target are made with advantage until the target is successfully hit by an attack. The spell then ends.

Wall of Light

5th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a hand mirror)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A shimmering wall of bright light appears at a point you choose within range. The wall appears in any orientation you choose: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can be free floating, or it can rest on a solid surface. The wall can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it. It emits bright light out to 120 feet and dim light for an additional 120 feet.

When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 radiant damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't blinded. A blinded creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

A creature that ends its turn in the wall's area takes 4d8 radiant damage.

Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to launch a beam of radiance from the wall at one creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 radiant damage. Whether you hit or miss, reduce the length of the wall by 10 feet. If the wall's length drops to 0 feet, the spell ends.

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.

Wall of Water

3th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of water)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wall's space is difficult terrain.

Any ranged weapon attack that enters the wall's space has disadvantage on the attack roll and any damage it deals is halved on a hit. Fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot-square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wall's water doesn't fill it.

Weird

9th-level illusion

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 4 rounds

Drawing on the deepest fears of a group of creatures, you create illusory creatures in their minds, visible only to them. Each creature of your choice in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened for the duration.

The illusion calls on the creature's deepest fears, manifesting its worst nightmares as an implacable threat. At the end of each of the frightened creature's turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.

Wish

9th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires.

The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower. You don't need to meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice:

• You create one object of up to 25,000 gp in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground.

• You allow up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all hit points, and you end all effects on them described in the greater restoration spell.

• You grant up to ten creatures that you can see resistance to a damage type you choose.

• You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all your companions immune to a lich's life drain attack.

• You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's critical hit, or a friend's failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item's current owner.

The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 1d10 necrotic damage per level of that spell. This damage can't be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it isn't 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.

If a simulacrum you have created casts Wish, both you and your simulacrum suffer the stress associated with casting the spell, including the risk of being forever unable to cast Wish again. The inability to cast Wish extends to any simulacrum you create in the future, as well as Wish cast by deities via Divine Intervention or other similar class features, or by use of a magic item.

Witch Bolt

1st-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a twig from a tree that has been struck by lightning)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 lightning damage, and if it is your size or smaller, its speed becomes 0 for the duration of the spell, and it cannot benefit from any bonus to its speed.

On each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if you move or use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell's range or if it has total cover from you. At the beginning of each of the target's turns, it can make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, its speed is no longer reduced.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 1st.

Zone of Truth

2nd-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 10 minutes

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

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

Until the spell ends, you can use an action to interrogate an affected creature within 10 feet of you. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spellcasting DC. On a failed save, the creature must answer a yes-or-no question. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 1 minute.
