New Dunamancy Options

This document contains 15 new dunamancy spells to try and includes a new Quantumurgy tag for spells, giving players the opportunity to try a Quantumurgy Arcane Tradition, such as the Quantumancer from D&D Wiki. Quantumurgy magic focuses on the manipulation of the quantum phenomena that underpins reality and the arcane nature of dunamis. Tether Essence would also be a quantumurgy spell.

Spell Descriptions

Contact Alternate Self

5th-level divination (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: 1 minute

You make contact with divergent paths of your character in other realities. You may ask up to five questions. A reality will answer if they have the knowledge to do so, otherwise the question is met with silence. If a question receives multiple different answers all spoken at once from many realities, you must make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends and you take 6d6 psychic damage.

Gravity Pull

Evocation cantrip

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

You use a blast of gravitational force to pull an object in a direction of your choice. The object can weigh up to 10 pounds and moves up to 30 feet per round.

Laserbeam

3rd-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (100-foot line)
• Components: V, S, M (a source of light, such as a torch)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You shoot a beam of concentrated light in a line 100 feet long and 5 feet wide from a light source you are holding. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 6d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails the save is blinded until the end of their next turn.

At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you deal 1d6 additional damage for each slot level above 3rd.

Magnetize

2nd-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (pinch of iron filings)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You temporarily magnetize two metallic items that you can see within range, causing them to be attracted to each other. If either of the items weighs 20 pounds or less it travels in a straight line towards the other object. If an item is on a creature's person, the creature must either drop the item if it can, or make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature is pulled along with the item. If either or both objects would strike a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object(s) strikes the target and stops moving. When either object strikes something, including each other, all creatures and objects involved in the collision take 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10 foot of distance moved.

For example, say you choose a shield carried by a creature and a sword carried by a creature, 40 feet apart from one another. Each creature fails its saving throw, and neither lets go of their item, and the path between them is unobstructed. In this case, each item travels 20 feet before colliding with the other. The sword causes 2d6 bludgeoning damage to be dealt to itself, the shield, and both creatures. The shield causes 2d6 bludgeoning damage to be dealt to itself, the sword, and both creatures. All items and creatures involved, then, take a total of 4d6 bludgeoning damage.

If there were a third creature standing at a mid-point between the two items it would make a Dexterity saving throw. If it failed the save, the sword, shield, and wielders would all take 2d6 bludgeoning damage, and the obstructing creature would take 4d6 bludgeoning damage.

Planar Rift

6th-level conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (100-foot radius)
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 hour

You create a rift in reality to summon a monster from another plane of existence to aid you. The world around you ripples up to a 150-foot radius as another plane of existence overlaps with your own for the spell duration. Choose a monster and their home plane from the Planar Rift Monsters table. The monster appears in the nearest empty space beside you.

The monster will aid the party for the spell duration in exchange for payement of 500 gp. The monster acts independently in combat (under DM control), with its own initiative roll.

When the spell ends, the rift closes and the other plane disappears. The summoned monster may choose to return to its home plane or remain in your plane .

Planar Rift Monsters

Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 8d8 necrotic damage and is poisoned by the radiation until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and is not poisoned. The ground and anything in the area glow faintly blue, and the radiation decays over the next 3 rounds. Creatures that start their turn in the area during the next round until the start of your next turn must make a Constitution save or take 4d8 necrotic damage, taking half damage on a success. The turn after the same applies except the damage is 2d8, then 1d8 damage for the final round.

• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a crystal prism)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You thin the barriers between realities and timelines, subjecting a creature to chaos and confusion. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the spell ends. On a failure, the creature is affected for the spell duration and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns; the number rolled determines what happens to the creature, as shown on the Reality Bend Effects table.

At the end of each of its turns, the affected creature can repeat the Wisdom saving throw, ending the spell on itself on a success.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the number of creatures affected increases by 1 for each slot level above 4th.

Otherwise it is affected by this spell for the duration, and can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns. Choose one of the following each for the affected creatures:

Speed Up. The creature increases its movement speed by 15 feet and gains an additional attack on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.
