- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Wizard
Reality begins to fall apart around you, but you are able to localize these areas of sundering to locations you choose. Upon casting the spell and as an action on subsequent turns, choose a point within range that you can see and roll a d6. Any creature within 10 feet of the chosen point must make a saving throw depending on the rolled effect.
| d6 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blast. Creatures in the area must make a Strength saving throw. On failure, a creature takes 2d6 force damage, and is pushed 15 feet away from the chosen point if it is not gargantuan. On success, a creature takes half as much damage and is not pushed. |
| 2 | Stagger. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On failure a creature is knocked prone and unable to get up until the end of its next turn. On success, the creature's speed is halved until the end of it's next turn. |
| 3 | Warp. Creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, a creature becomes unable to use its action until the end of its next turn. On success, the creature has disadvantage on any attacks it makes until the end of it's next turn. |
| 4 | Feedback. Creatures in the area cannot take reactions until the end of their next turn and must make an Intelligence saving throw. On failure, a creature takes 2d6 psychic damage and looses concentration of any spell it was concentrating on. On success, the creature takes half as much damage. |
| 5 | Mirage. Creatures in the area must make a Wisdom saving throw. On failure, the creature cannot move and attacks made within 5 feet of it have advantage to hit it until the end of it's next turn as distracting images play at the corners of it's vision. On success, the creature only cannot move. |
| 6 | Blink. Creatures in the area take 2d6 psychic damage and must make a Charisma saving throw. On failure, it vanishes into the Ethereal Plane until the end of it's next turn, reappearing in the space it left. On success, it does not vanish. |
Ruin
8th-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Upon casting this spell and for as long as the spell lasts, you are unable to move and can take no actions. If you are teleported, your concentration is broken before you are teleported. If you are forcefully moved, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on this spell with a DC equal to 5 + the number of feet you were moved, ending the spell on failure.
A 10-foot radius sphere around you begins to shudder with incredible magical power. At the start of each of your turns while the spell lasts the radius increases by 10 feet. This sphere pierces objects and cover.
As reality begins to unravel around you, at the start of your turn a rift opens at a point of your choice within the radius of this spell. Creatures and objects that are not being worn or carried within 5 feet of that point take 4d10 force damage.
When the spell ends, all creatures within the area other than yourself must make a Constitution saving throw. If the spell ends because your concentration is broken, you must also make this saving throw. On failure, a creature takes 2d10 force damage plus 1d10 more force damage per 10 feet the spell has expanded to. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage. Structures and objects that are not being worn or carried instead take twice this amount of damage without a saving throw.
Additionally, the area affected by this spell becomes heavily damaged. All surfaces in the area become difficult terrain, the area cannot grow plants and anything living within the area wilts away. This effect lasts for 6 months, and each 5 foot space of difficult terrain requires 1 hour of labor to clear.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the duration of the spell becomes Concentration, up to 2 minutes.
Initially intended to be a NPC spell, this spell is useful for nuking camps, towns, or even cities when upcast far enough. If you can protect your caster for a minute, they will bring ruin to whatever place you are in.

Until the end of your next turn, for the purpose of spells and attacks, the creature is affected as though it were also in the position of the echo, taking any damage and making any saves as appropriate.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration of the spell increases for 1 additional round per spell level above 1st. The creature can repeat it's saving throw at the end of each of your turns, ending the spell on success. Using a spell slot of 5th level or higher grants a duration that doesn't require concentration.
Storm Spear

- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (a thin copper rod)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You conjure a bolt of lightning from the sky to your hand, forming into a magical spear of electricity. You must be outdoors to cast this spell. This magical weapon lasts until the spell ends. It counts as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient. It deals 2d8 lightning damage on a hit and has the finesse, light, thrown (range 40/120), and reach properties. In addition, when you use the spear to attack a creature wearing metal armor or with a metal shield, you make the attack roll with advantage.
The electrified spear sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.
If you drop the weapon or throw it, it dissipates at the end of the turn. Thereafter, while the spell persists, you can use a bonus action to cause the weapon to reappear in your hand.

The barricade is 6 inches thick, 5 feet tall, and up to 20 feet long. If the barricade cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice).
The wall offers half-cover to creatures medium or smaller targets on one side of the barrier, as selected by you when you cast this spell causing one side to be sloped. Creatures moving from the side you chose and large or bigger creatures can move through the wall's area as though it were difficult terrain, but a medium or smaller creature must expend 15 feet of movement to get on top of the wall.
The wall is an object that can be broken, and each 5 foot long segment of the barricade has 17 AC and 20 hit points.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the cover grants three-quarters cover instead of half.

Additionally, upon casting the spell you can grant the creature one or more of the following features, expending two additional hit dice per feature.
- Improved Movement. The ooze's speeds increase by 10 feet. You can choose this option multiple times.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can choose one of the additional features to grant the summoned ooze without expending additional hit dice.
Note to DMs
This spell does a lot of new stuff. However, the main issue you may find with this one is rest pacing and how that affects this spell's power. If you have a long rest after every couple fights, players will have a lot more use out of this spell than if you have a long rest after a dozen fights. You have been warned!
Coagulated Ooze
medium ooze, chaotic neutral

Spells with no review
Maybe they are a new spell, or maybe they are so weird/rough that I wanna give it more time before posting, who knows.
Numb
2nd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 10 feet
- Components: V, S, M (an ice cube, consumed upon casting the spell)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: ?
Target a creature that you can see within range, attempting to chill it to its core. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its body begins to go numb. This spell has no effect on a creature that is resistant or immune to cold damage.
While affected by this spell, a creature is unable to move its limbs dexterously giving it a -2 penalty to dexterity checks and dexterity saving throws. Additionally, it must make a Dexterity check against your spell save DC if it attempts to cast spells or use features which involve a somatic component, failing to cast the spell or use the feature on failure. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On success, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the range of the spell increases by 20 feet and you can target one additional creature per spell slot level above 2nd.
Similar to my drown spell, this one targets dexterity and somatic components. Not sure of balance or anything of that likes, as dex saves are pretty dang good to target, and somatic knocks out a ton of spells.
Magimagnet
4th-level enchantment
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (an adafold fragment worth at least 50 gp)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Classes: Wizard
You throw out the adafold fragment used in the casting of this spell to a point you choose within range. The fragment becomes fixed in that location as threads of purple energy begin to be siphoned towards it in a 20-foot radius sphere. This area is considered heavily obscured for the purpose of choosing a target for a spell, and the area of another spell or magical effect, such as fireball, can't extend into the sphere.
Additionally, creatures formed by magic, discrete spell effects (such as the weapon formed by spiritual weapon), creatures under the effects of a spell, magical objects, and creatures holding or wearing magical items are pulled towards the center of the spell. Objects that are not being worn or carried are pulled immediately upon entering the area. Such objects are pulled as close to the center of the radius as it can be. A creature that enters this area for the first time on it's turn or starts it's turn in the area must make a Strength saving throw to resist being pulled as close to the center as it can be.
Paradox
5th-level shattering
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (? worth at least 1,000 gp)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Wizard
Target a creature within range that you can see, and choose an unoccupied space on the ground within range that the creature could safely occupy. Another instance of the target creature appears in the chosen space, a reality torn duplicate of the target that disappears at the end of your turn.
If either instance takes damage, both instances take damage as though it were one creature. Should both be subjected to the same effect, only the original creature is affected. Only the original target can use legendary actions and reactions.
At the start of the creature's turn, roll a d20. On a result of 10 or lower, the new instance of the creature ceases to exist, vanishing from its position. On a result of 11 or higher, the original instance ceases to exist. Either way, the remaining instance must make a Wisdom saving throw or take 8d8 psychic damage as it watches its other instance be violently torn apart by reality.
At first glance, this looks strange. Make a copy which has no benefit over the original which vanishes after less than a round then deal some psychic damage? But this spell also serves as an unwilling teleportation of the target to anywhere you like, albiet at a 50% chance.
Orchestration
4th-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (30-foot-radius)
- Components: V, S

Music bursts forth from you, and you become surrounded by ghostly illusions of an orchestra playing and/or singing a song of your choice.
For the duration of the spell you can use your bonus action to choose an effect from the options below. You cannot choose the same effect that you chose on your previous turn. If you do not use your bonus action, the song continues without any special effects.
Adagio. The music grows slower to the point that it causes creatures to suddenly get tired. Creatures of your choice within range with a number of remaining hit points below 20 must make a Constitution Saving throw or fall unconscious. The creature stays unconscious until the spell ends, you preform an effect other than Adagio, the sleeper takes damage, or another creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to shake or slap it awake.
Cadenza. Creatures of your choice within range can immediately use a reaction to move up to half its movement speed. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Diminuendo. The music becomes deafeningly quiet. Creatures of your choice within range have their speed halved, and must make a Wisdom saving throw. On failure, a creature cannot make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn regardless of its abilities or magic items. An affected creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of it's turns, ending this effect on success and gaining advantage on future saves of Diminuendo for 24 hours.
Sforzando. Your music suddenly explodes with sound for just a moment. Creatures within range must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 thunder damage and becomes Deafened until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not Deafened.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the spell increases by 15ft for each spell level above 4th.
Time to get the band back together. The idea is just to bump a bunch of buffing spells all in one, each with a slightly lesser effect than others. Not sure of level
