Spellblade - up to date

## Spellblade
A Human swings a strange sword through the air at an orc, the strike booming with thunder on impact sending the orc flying.

A Tiefling wielding a wicked looking longbow smirks as with one shot loosed it strikes down a gang of goblins.

A serene looking Elf strides forth surrounded by whirling blades while also wielding blades of shadow and darkness before cutting down an Ogre in a swirl of strikes.

### Living Weapons
Spellblades through their study and through many trials and tribulations have managed to forge a Living Weapon, it's form is malleable and it's sense of self like a new born that will grow and develop along with it's wielder. Spellblade's and their Living Weapons are true partners, with each lending their strength to one another learning from one another and strengthening one another.

Spellblades are a rarity the Arcane Lore in the creation of their Living Weapons has been in many worlds lost to the passage of time, in some worlds however they are numerous, such as Occterria where in the nation of Valkaedrium their order has been reborn and are one of that Nation's many oddities.

### True Partners
Spellblades are as much their Living Weapon as their Living Weapon is them - without one the other struggles, yet together they represent a truly dangerous force, yet for the most part they are rarely seen. In the few worlds where they are present they are often seekers of Arcane Knowledge, their goal in most cases to find the more esoteric components in the creation of a Living Weapon so that they may in time train more of their kind.

### Forging a Bond
The Ancient Lore used in the creation of the Living Weapons in many worlds is lost to the sands of history, however those who have uncovered or rediscovered this carefully guard the secrets, even from other Spellblades until they have proven themselves worthy.

What little is known is near the end of the Living Weapon's creation the chosen wielder, a fact that said wielder is unaware of is pitted in a trial near the place of the weapon's forging a gruelling and difficult trial designed to bring out the future wielder's desire and emotion, to truly test the mettle of their being. These feelings and emotions are the catalyst that along with the esoteric parts of their creation kindle the Living Weapon into consciousness, and birth it as a personality replete with it's own powers.

### Creating a Spellblade

When making a Spellblade, consider what trials your character has undertaken, how they were chosen and what sort of Living Weapon they unknowingly helped create. Perhaps your character while in an old wizard's library touched an unusual artefact and was immediately taken on by the wizard for unknown purposes. Perhaps your character was under the tutelage of another Spellblade in a world where they are more common, unsure if they were even worthy of such an honour. Were you always adventurous before the connection with your Living Weapon was made or have you as a result of your new role taken up the adventuring life in a quest for mutual understanding with your Living Weapon.

### Living Weapon
Starting at 1st level, you have forged a bond with a living weapon, a sentient item which grows as you do. Your living weapon takes the form of a weapon you are proficient with. Your living weapon has its own personality, goals, and flaws.

The weapon is partially born of your soul, so it takes after some of your characteristics. Your weapon shares  your alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores. It does not have Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution scores. The living weapon has proficiency in any one skill of your choice that uses Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. Whenever you gain the ability score improvement class feature, your Living Weapon may also choose to improve one of its scores by 2, or two of its scores by 1 (to a maximum of 20)

Your weapon can hear and see out to a range of 60 feet, can telepathically communicate with you within that range or speak out loud if it so chooses. You can use a bonus action to cause this weapon to teleport into your hands, regardless of distance or plane. While holding your living weapon, you can perform an arcane ritual over the course of 1 minute. The weapon can change into any other weapon you are proficient with.

If your living weapon is in the form of a weapon that has the ammunition property, you can ignore it, as your weapon generates its own ammunition as you fire it, which disappears after the attack.

### Arcanovision
Starting at 1st level, through your bond, your Living Weapon shares it’s magical insights with you, using it’s inherently magical nature to see other magic clearly.

Your Living Weapon may gain access to a special sense, that it can activate using your action. This special sense functions identically to the Detect Magic spell, however instead of the normal duration of the spell you have a pool of time you must expend instead. This pool is equal to your Spellblade level x 3 minutes, and this pool replenishes when you complete a Long Rest.

You may instead choose to expend 5 minutes of your pool of Arcanovision to have your Living Weapon use its reaction to cast the Identify spell on an object it is touching without requiring material components.

### Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.

#### Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

#### Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

#### Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

#### Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

#### Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

> ##### I'm not just any old Weapon, I'm a Living Weapon!
> Your Living Weapon is more than a mere tool of battle, it has its own personality along with its own likes and dislikes. Your living weapon considers you its partner and happily cooperates with you on most things, though may have its own separate opinion on the matter and won’t be too subtle about it.
>
>If a significant conflict does arise, the weapon may refuse to communicate or allow use of one of your features for a short time, Though such disagreements are rare.
>
>You may roll on the Living Weapon Personality Table later in this document to separately determine your weapons goals, quirks and flaws. You may instead create your own or simply choose.

### Spellcasting
Through your study and experimentation you have gained an affinity for magic. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and the list at the bottom for the Spellblade spell list.

### Spell Slots
The Spellblade table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these Spellblade spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. Your regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
 For example, if you know the 1st level spell Ice Knife and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Ice Knife using either slot

#### Spells Known of 1st level and higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Spellblade spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Spellblade table shows when you learn more Spellblade spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
 Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Spellblade spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Spellblade spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

#### Spellcasting ability
Intelligence is your Spellcasting ability for your Spellblade spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You can use your intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you can use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Spellblade spell when you cast and when making an attack roll with one

Starting at 3rd level, you choose which discipline style defines your connection to your Living Weapon. Your choice reflect the training and preparations in this certain style finally manifesting themselves. You may choose from Prowess, Amplification or Disruption.

### Surging Power
Starting at 3rd level, during battle your Living Weapon surges with arcane power, fuelling both you and itself with temporary energy.
When you land a successful weapon attack using your Living Weapon or land a spell attack using a spell from the Spellblade spell list against a hostile creature, you gain 1 Surge Charge.

Your Surge Charges are lost when you complete a short or long rest, and you cannot have more charges than your levels in this class.

You may expend these charges to fuel some of your Spellblade features and abilities. One of these features is your Weapon Arts, which are special cantrips only you can learn. You gain three of these cantrips at this level, these count as cantrips for the purposes of counterspell. You learn one additional Weapon Art at 7th, 11th, 15th and 19th level.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

\columnbreak

### Arcane Assimilation
Starting at 6th level, your Living Weapon is now able to take the properties and abilities of other Magical Weapons. You may now absorb magical weapons, through an arcane ritual performed over the course of a short rest. Your Living Weapon can only benefit from the properties of one magical weapon at a time and cannot absorb another sentient item or artefact in this way.

When you complete a short or long rest, you may choose which magical weapon that Your Living Weapon may gain properties from, among the items it has absorbed previously

In addition your Living Weapon counts as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances.

### Weapon Enhancements

At 7th level, your living weapon continues to grow and change as the bond between you grows. You may choose two Weapon Enhancements option of your choice
(see "Weapon Enhancement Choices" below)

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the enhancements you know and replace it with another enhancements that you could learn at that level.

A level prerequisite in an enhancements refers to Spellblade level, not character level.

You gain an additional Weapon Enhancement option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 10th, 15th, and 18th level.

#### Duplication
As a bonus action, you can have your Living Weapon split itself into two separate weapons, or a weapon and shield. In addition your Living Weapon may now absorb shields, both mundane and magical which are counted separately from weapons via the Arcane Assimilation feature.

#### Weapon Rack
Your Living Weapon can now act as if it was a Bag of Holding, absorbing items that touch it as an action, with a capacity of 500lb. It can absorb items no larger than a 5ft cube in any one dimension. Additionally as an Action you may magically draw an item within 30 feet that fits the above criteria into your Living Weapon. Items that are being held, worn, carried, or are heavier than 10lb are not drawn.

#### Weapon Ritual
You may cast spells with the Ritual Tag, as a Ritual.

#### Shared Experience
When you choose this enhancement, your living weapon gains one new skill proficiency that uses intelligence, wisdom or charisma.
In addition, when you make a skill check using a skill that your living weapon is proficient in, you can add your living weapon’s bonus to that check in addition to your own.

#### Mastered Arts
Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can replace one of the Weapon Arts you know with another Weapon Art.

\pagebreak

#### Rebound
If your living weapon has the thrown property, it returns to your hand immediately after you complete a ranged weapon attack using it, in addition while your Living Weapon is in the form of a thrown weapon it's short range is doubled.

#### Featherweight Weapon
*Prerequisite: 10th level*

Your Living Weapon always counts as a Finesse Weapon no matter the form it takes.

#### Parallel Arts
*Prerequisite: 10th level*

You may activate two Weapon Arts using the same bonus action, however you must expend a number of charges equal to their combined cost in order to do so.

#### Thirst for Battle
*Prerequisite: 15th level*

When you roll for initiative, your Living Weapon bursts with excitement and you immediately gain a number of Surge Charges equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down).

#### Weapon Realm
*Prerequisite: 15th level, Weapon Rack*

As an action you and your allies may touch your Living Weapon and be transported inside it. The weapon creates an extradimensional space equivalent to the Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion spell. Your Living Weapon decides on the floor plan, decorations and the form the servants take, preferring a humanoid version of itself.

When you wish to leave the Weapon Realm, you must use your action to appear in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the Living Weapon and when you do so, you are stunned for 1 round after exiting.

### Weapon Vision
At 9th level, your bond with your Living Weapon deepens even further. Your Living Weapons senses increase out to a range of 120ft and the range at which you can telepathically communicate with your Living Weapon increases to a 1 mile radius.

While your living weapon is within 1 mile of you, as an action, you can see through your weapon’s senses until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that your weapon has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can also use your action to peer through the ammunition fired from your living weapon, as if seeing through the living weapons senses. The ammunition remains for 1 minute until it disappears.

\columnbreak

### Combat Companion
At 11th level, you've learned that your living weapon isn't merely a tool in battle but an active participant and ally, enhancing and protecting you as you work together.

Your Living weapon has a reaction that it can take each round of combat while you are wielding it. It regains this reaction at the start of each of your turns and can only use it in ways outlined in this feature, unless otherwise specified.

When you make an attack using your living weapon, it can use its own reaction to add 1d4 to the attack roll. Alternatively, when you are targeted by weapon attack that your living weapon can perceive, your living weapon can use its reaction to add 1d4 to your AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss.

The living weapon can wait until after you roll the d20 before deciding to use this reaction, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.

In order to a die to one of your rolls in this way, you must first expend 2 Surge Charges. You may increase the number of added dice to 2d4 if you expend 4 charges, or 3d4 if you expend 6 charges instead.

### Manifested Blades
At 20th level, you and your Living Weapon channel your arcane abilities together to summon a wall of blades. You may cast the Blade Barrier spell as an action. The spell does not require concentration from you, and remains for its full duration, or until you dismiss it with a bonus action.

You may change the spell’s dimensions from among the options as described in the spell using a Bonus Action, or choose to move it up to 30 feet in any direction. You may use this feature once per short rest.

\pagebreak

### Discipline of Disruption

The teachers of the Discipline of Disruption originally observed the power of Living Weapons to absorb magic, and continuously developed this ability further and further. Practitioners of this style can use their techniques to disrupt, nullify and destroy other magic users with ease. This led to the forming of the Spell Breakers, powerful shock-troops, assassins and bodyguards.  
 Since the early days of this Discipline’s development, Spell Breakers have since refined their techniques to be useful in controlling any number of opponents, rather than just enemy mages. 
This style forms a balance of both melee and magic, rather than focusing on one or the other, as with the other styles. Spell Breakers often consider the other disciplines too narrow and close minded for their tastes.

#### Disruptive Attunement
Starting at 3rd level, you can apply negative effects to your enemies using your Living Weapon’s ability to absorb and release elemental power.

When you deal Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison or Thunder damage with one of your spellblade spells or using your living weapon to attack, you may also apply the appropriate effect listed, in addition to the spell or attacks normal effects.

The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw versus your Spell DC or be affected by the bonus effect until the start of your next turn.

* **Acid** - The target has its regular vision reduced to a 30ft radius and is blind beyond that range, as you splash acid into its eyes. If the target benefits from any special senses, other than Darkvision, those senses are unaffected.
* **Cold** - The target has its speed reduced by 10ft, as you rime it with frost.
* **Fire** - The target has disadvantage on its next weapon attack, as painful burns distract them.
* **Lightning** - The target cannot take reactions, as they are briefly dazed by sparks.
* **Poison** - The target has disadvantage on their next ability check, as noxious fumes weaken their resolve.
* **Thunder** - The target cannot concentrate on spells, as you slam them with sonic force. If it is concentrating on a spell when hit, it must make its concentration check with disadvantage.

#### Arcane Analysis
Starting at 7th level, you gain proficiency in the insight skill, if you didn’t have it already. Additionally, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can make a contested insight check (vs their deception check). If you win the contest, you learn certain information about the creatures magical capabilities. The DM provides you with information in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice: 
* What class spell list the creature can cast from (if any)
* The level of the highest level spell the creature currently has access to.
* The creatures spellcasting ability 
* The creatures spell DC
* The number of expended spell slots or spell uses (if any).
* Whether the creature is under the effects of a spell or not

#### Feedback
At 10th level, when you hit with your Living Weapon, you can attempt to disrupt the targets ability to cast magic. 
 If the target fails its Constitution saving throw against your disruption effect, you may expend 4 Surge Charges to have the target lose one of their lowest level remaining spell slots, dealing bonus psychic damage on the attack equal to 1d4 x the level of the spell slot burned.

#### Living Weapon: Nullification
At 14th level, your Living Weapon begins to automatically absorb hostile magic and use it against your foes. 
 You have advantage on saving throws against spells & magical effects. 
 In addition, when you take damage from a spell or magical effect, you gain a Surge Charge.

#### Null Zone 
Starting at 18th level, you can use your action to project an aura that acts as a zone of magical neutralization that lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it with a bonus action. 
Creatures within 10 ft of you suffer the following effects:
* If a creature other than you attempts to cast a spell within the aura, the spell automatically fails, consuming the spell slot used, and if a spell slot was consumed you gain a surge charge.
* You and creatures within the aura can’t be targeted by spells or magical effects originating from outside the aura.
* If the area of another spell or magical effect, such as Fireball, overlaps with your aura then the part of the area that is covered by the aura is suppressed. 
* Magic items function as normal within the aura, but can’t be used to cast spells or activate abilities that require you to expend the items charge(s).

You regain use of this feature after completing a long rest.

\pagebreak
 
### Discipline of Prowess 
The style of Prowess was founded and inspired by an eldritch knight, whose connection to his bonded weapon grew so strong that it transformed into a Living Weapon. Since then, the Style of Prowess have always considered themselves more as warriors, than mages or spellcasters. They are more fully connected and attached to their living weapon than the other styles, considering themselves true disciples of the blade. They consider their weapon a true partner, an almost symbiotic relationship, where both parties give and share equal amounts of magic.

The most martial and knightly of the disciplines, they are often known as the Blade Guard, who stand side by side with eldritch knights and paladins as a powerful legion of arcane warriors.

#### Transformation Style
Starting at 3rd level, you and your living weapon are able to flow between different styles and forms of attack. 
Once per turn, you may use your object interaction to transform your Living Weapon into another weapon type that you are proficient in, instead of needing to complete the 1 minute transformation ritual.

When your Living Weapon changes forms into a different weapon, you may also switch your current Fighting Style to a different choice from among those listed in the ‘Fighting Style’ feature above.

#### Weapon Lineage
Starting at 7th level, your Living Weapon can create a phatom version of itself for others to use, sharing the mastery of arms you both hold.

Using your action, your Living Weapon can create a mundane weapon that you are proficient in to magically appear in an unoccupied space with 5ft of you. Any creature that uses the phantom weapon is considered proficient in it and attacks made with it count as magical for overcoming resistances and immunities.

The phantom copy remains for 8 hours or until you dismiss it as a bonus action. You can summon a number of these weapons equal to your intelligence modifier per long rest.

#### Sundering Strike
At 10th level, you may feed your Living Weapon arcane power in order to cleave through enemy ranks.

When you hit a creature with a successful weapon attack using you Living Weapon, you may expend 4 Surge Charges to make the attack a Sundering Strike.

If you made a melee attack, you may target any number of other creatures within your reach with the same attack roll. If the original attack roll would hit one of the other targets in range, that creature takes half the damage received by the initial target (rounded down).

If instead you made a ranged attack, this feature affects any creature of your choice within 5 feet of your initial target.

\columnbreak

#### Living Weapon: Assimilation
At 14th level, your living weapon has learned to manifest many forms at once, gathering its collective magic strength. Your Living Weapon can benefit from the magical bonuses and features of all magical weapons it has previously absorbed, at the same time, up to a limit of 3 items combined at once.

The features and bonus effects must be appropriate to your Living Weapon’s current form (as determined by the DM) in order to function and you must be attuned to all the items you are drawing effects from.
  
*(For example, you cannot benefit from a sword of sharpness while your Living Weapon is not a slashing weapon.)*

If your Living Weapon has two or more abilities or bonuses which are similar but gained from multiple sources, you must choose one of these features to benefit from. This includes properties that allow the weapon to gain bonus damage dice on hit. They do not stack.
 
For example:
* If you Living Weapon has absorbed a +2 longsword and a +1 dagger, you must choose one of these bonuses to gain, rather than adding them together.
* You cannot benefit from the bonus fire damage provided by a Flametongue at the same time as benefiting from the bonus damage dealt by an Oathbow’s effects, you must choose which one to apply to the attack.

\pagebreak

#### Master Duelist
Starting at 18th level, you and your Living Weapon have mastered the art of dueling and are now able to finish opponents with intense clashes. When you land a melee weapon attack against another creature that is also holding a melee weapon, you can attempt to enter a Clash with the opposing creature. To do so, you must roll an attack roll using your weapon versus the creatures attack roll using their weapon, with the highest result determining the winner. If you win the contest, you force the creature into a Clash. While within the Clash, the following effects occur:

* You and your opponent are considered to be grappling each other, and you both have a speed of 0.
* Each of you must take the attack action on your own turn to make an attack roll against the other, contested by the opponents attack roll. Whichever roll is highest is the winner but the attack deals no damage. 
* The first of you to succeed on three contests, including the initial contest which begun the Clash, is considered the winner of the Clash.
* If you win the Clash, you may make a melee weapon attack against the loser as a reaction. The attack is an automatic critical hit and disarms your opponent of their weapon, which lands 10ft away in a random unoccupied space. You may choose to destroy their weapon instead if it is non magical. If your opponent has less than 50 hit points when hit by the attack, they are reduced to 0 hit points and are dying.
* If your opponent wins the Clash, they may make a melee weapon attack against you as a reaction. The attack is an automatic critical hit and you are shoved 10ft back.

You can end the Clash early by using your action to do so. If your opponent wishes to end the Clash, they must first succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw versus your spell DC. If either you or your opponent are incapacitated, moved more than 5ft away from each other or knocked prone, the Clash ends, without a victor.

You may use this feature once per short or long rest.

\columnbreak

### Discipline of Amplification *WIP*
This Discipline Style was created when the first Spellblades discovered you could use the power of the Living Weapon to amplify your own power. By doing so, the weapon, perhaps attracted by the arcane force, begins to float and animate of its own accord. Thus the style was born. The Weapon Weavers, as they are called, use their enhanced spellcasting and animated partner to unleash an assault of spells and attacks.

Using their Living Weapon as a base to build on, the Disciples of this style have learned to form new weapons out of thin air. A Weapon Weaver is often found with three or more weapons in hand, or floating in the air around them.

#### Weapon Incarne
Starting at 3rd level, your Living Weapon can now animate itself and float along side you.
 You may use your bonus action to animate or recall the living weapon on your turn. It has a fly speed of 30ft, an AC of 17 and if the weapon receives damage while animated, you must make a concentration check (as if casting a spell) or the weapon disappears and reappears next to you, floating within your space.

Your living weapon acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. It cannot attack on its own turn, but it can take other actions as normal. You can use your action to command your living weapon to attack, using its reaction to do so. It uses your proficiency bonus and modifiers for it’s weapon attack.

When you cast a spell, your living weapon can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell itself. Your living weapon must be within 120 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it.

#### Animated Attack
Beginning at 5th level, your Living Weapon can take the attack action on its own turn, without requiring you to command it.

#### Weapon Weaving
At 7th level, you can manifest multiple weapons and combine them with your animated partner.

If you hit a creature with a spell attack and your Living Weapon hits the same creature with a weapon attack during the same round, you may choose to cast either the Shadow blade or Flame Blade spells as a free action, without expending Arcane Charges.
You may use this feature once per short or long rest.

In addition, you do not need to concentrate on the Flame Blade or Shadow Blade spells while casting them. They instead have a duration of 10 minutes or until you dismiss them with a bonus action.

#### Amplified Knowledge
Also at 7th level, your Living Weapon’s abilities and knowledge have increased due to its animated nature.
Your Living Weapon can use double your proficiency when making checks with skills it has proficiency in.

\pagebreak

#### Animated Arsenal
At 10th level, you have gained the ability to animate and control any number of mundane weapons or armour sets. 
 You can use your action to animate a collection of weapons or suits of armour you can see. The objects gain a speed of 30ft or a fly speed of 30ft if its a weapon. They have 17 AC and 1 hit point, becoming inactive when reduced to 0. They act on your initiative, following your orders. You can command any number of your animated arsenal using a bonus action, giving them orders to move or take actions as you see fit. 
 If you command an object to attack a creature, you must first expend 1 Surge charge to do so. The object has a bonus to hit equal to your proficiency + your intelligence modifier and it deals 1d6 piercing, slashing or bludgeoning damage (as appropriate) on a successful hit.
 You can choose to see through their senses, which are the same as your Living Weapon, as an action on your turn.  
 They remain animated for 8 hours, or until you dismiss them using your action. The number of objects you can have animated at one time is equal to your intelligence modifier (min 1).

Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

#### Living Weapon: Conjuration
At 14th level, you can imbue your Living Weapon with spare magical energy.
 You are able to store spells within your Living Weapon by performing a 10 minute ritual, in which you expend the spells slots required as if casting the spells. You can store a number of spells with a total combined slot level equal to your level in this class.

You or an allied creature holding your Living Weapon, may unleash one of these spells from it as a bonus action. Your Living Weapon can also cast one of these spells during its turn, as long as the spell does not require concentration.
