Find Traps (revised)

2nd-level divination

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

Your awareness of traps is enhanced. 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 aid you in sensing an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but would not aid you in finding a natural weakness in the floor or an unstable ceiling.

You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks to find traps, and add your proficiency bonus when doing so, even if you aren’t proficient.

Goodberry (revised)

1st-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a sprig of mistletoe)
• Duration: 24 hours

Up to ten berries in your hand and are infused with magic for 24 hours or until consumed. A creature can use its action to eat one berry. Eating a berry restores 1 hit point, and the berry counts as up to 1 pound of food for nourishment.

Mordenkainen’s Sword (revised)

7th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 ft.
• Components: V, S, M (a miniature platinum sword with a grip and pommel of copper and zinc, worth 250 gp)
• Duration: 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 a melee spell attack against a target of your choice within 5 feet of the sword. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 + your spellcasting modifier force damage. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to move the sword up to 20 feet to a spot you can see and repeat this attack against the same target or a different one.

Polymorph (revised)

7th-level evocation4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a caterpillar cocoon)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.

The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than 4. The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast, except its hit points. It retains its alignment and personality.

The target assumes the hit points of its new form or five times its Hit Dice, whichever is smaller. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.

The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you increase the maximum challenge rating of the beast you can transform the target by 1 for each slot level above 4th.

Searing Smite (revised)

1st-level evocation

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

The next time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack during the spell’s duration, your weapon flares with white-hot intensity, and the attack deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to the target and causes the target to ignite in flames.

At the start of each of its turns for 1 minute, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a successful save, the spells ends. If the target or a creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the flames (such as the target being submerged in water), the spell ends.

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