No sound can pass through the wall, and creatures within 10 feet of it are deafened. Creatures moving through the wall are buffeted by winds and lashed by lightning. For every 1 foot a creature moves through the wall, it must spend 4 feet of movement. Furthermore, the first time a creature enters the wall on a turn or ends its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 4d12 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

As a bonus action on each turn after the first, you may select one creature you can see within 30 feet of the wall or one creature at random within 10 feet of the wall. A lightning bolt leaps out, dealing 2d12 lightning damage, or half as much if the target succeeds on a Dexterity saving throw.

On a failed save, a creature takes 5d8 thunder damage, is deafened, and has disadvantage on its next attack roll until the start of your next turn.

• Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You construct a maze of magic around another creature you touch, making it difficult for enemies to reach. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded creature with an attack or a harmful spell must first make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must target you instead, or another creature of its choice if it can't target you. If it doesn't choose a new target, it loses the attack or spell. The warded creature gains no protection from area effects.

When the target makes an attack or casts a spell that affects a hostile creature, that creature gains immunity to the spell. A creature also becomes immune to the spell if it succeeds on the saving throw.

Undead Familiar

1st-level necromancy (ritual)

• Classes: Necromancer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: 15 feet
• Components: V, S, M (the corpse of a tiny creature and 10 gp worth of perfume, which is consumed)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You animate the corpse of a tiny creature to serve you. The corpse can be from any creature, but uses the statistics of one of the following: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. The familiar has the statistics of its chosen form, but its creature type becomes Undead and it is immune to necrotic and poison damage.

The first time it would be reduced to 0 hit points, it can attempt a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the damage dealt. On a success, it drops to 1 hit point instead. When it is reduced to 0 hit points, it dies.

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

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.

You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, your previous familiar dies.

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. You can cause a spell to deal 1d4 bonus necrotic damage when delivered in this way — once you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or recreate your familiar.

Unholy Crypt

6th-level necromancy

• Classes: Cleric, Necromancer, Warlock
• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Range: 60 feet

It has at least one door and is enclosed by wood and stone floors, walls, and a roof. It can connect to an existing structure but can't overlap with one or wholly contain one. You determine all aspects of the crypt's appearance such as altars, idols, illumination, rooms, scent, temperature, and windows.

You can specify one or two of the following effects to protect your crypt when you cast the spell. These effects can be active at all times, or activated and deactivated by command words of your choosing. When you cast the spell, you can designate any number of creatures to be immune to the effects. If dispel magic is cast within the crypt at 6th level or higher, it can suppress one of the effects for 24 hours.

• Sapping Mist. The area of the crypt is lightly obscured, and a creature ending its turn within the crypt takes 1d4 necrotic damage.
• Cackling Skulls. Demented skulls line the walls of the crypt, screaming and laughing at intruders. A creature distracted by the skulls has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws and saving throws to maintain concentration on spells.
• Impenetrable Gloom. The crypt is filled with magical darkness.
• Grasping Hands. Skeletal hands erupt from the crypt's floor. A creature within the crypt must make a Dexterity saving throw at the start of each of its turns or its speed is reduced to 0.

Good-aligned creatures feel palpably uneasy within the crypt, and celestials make all saving throws with disadvantage within it.

Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes the crypt permanent.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the casting time increases by 1 hour and the crypt's size increases by 60 feet on each side for each slot level above 6th. You can also add one additional effect for each slot level above 6th.

Vampiric Mist

4th-level conjuration

• Classes: Necromancer, Warlock
• Casting Time: 1 action

When you cast the spell, the mist attempts to leech the life from a creature in its space. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 necrotic damage. The mist stores health equal to half the damage dealt, up to a maximum of 20 hit points.

As a bonus action, you can command the mist to move up to 30 feet and leech health. As an action, you can command the mist to move up to 30 feet and disgorge its stolen health, healing one creature in its space for all its stored hit points. The spell then ends.

You decide the general appearance of the vehicle and horse, but both are obviously magical to cursory inspection. For the duration, the wagon can be loaded with up to 2000 pounds, and moves as you direct at a speed of 30 feet (or 3 miles per hour at a slow travel pace). It can't take any actions.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, its duration increases by 8 hours for each slot level above 3rd.

Moving through the wall costs 3 feet of movement for each foot traveled.

Any creature entering the wall must make a Constitution saving throw, suffering 3d8 necrotic damage on a failure or half as much on a success. When a creature enters the wall, you can expend 2 hit points to increase the necrotic damage it would take by 2d8.

Wall of Bones

5th-level necromancy (osteomancy)

• Classes: Occultist, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 15 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a handful of bone slivers)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A wall of malevolent bones appears on a solid surface you can see within range. The wall is 1 foot thick and is composed of ten 10-foot- by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel.

If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it is pushed outside of the wall to a space of its choice.

The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can't occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall must be vertical and rest on the ground. It is an object that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 10 and 80 hit points, and is vulnerable to bludgeoning damage. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM's discretion. The wall disappears when the spell ends.

When a creature starts its turn adjacent to the wall or moves within 5 feet of the wall for the first time on its turn, skeletal hands reach out to try and grapple it. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 necrotic damage and become grappled. While grappled in this way, it takes 2d8 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can be freed by succeeding on a Strength (Athletics) check with a DC equal to your spell save DC or by destroying the panel that is grappling it.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 7th level or higher and maintain your concentration on this spell for its full duration, the wall becomes permanent and can't be dispelled.

Moving through the wall costs 3 feet of movement for each foot.

A creature that starts its turn in the wall or enters the wall on its turn must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it takes 2d8 poison damage and 2d8 piercing damage, and is poisoned until the end of its next turn. On a success, it takes half as much damage and is not poisoned.

If a creature ends its turn in the wall, some insects cling to it, and it continues to be affected as if in the wall until it or another creature within 5 feet spends an action to brush the insects off.

Wall of Misery

5th-level enchantment (shadow magic)

• Classes: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a pinch of black sand)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create a plane of roiling shadow, standing as a wall at a point you can see 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. It can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall blocks line of sight for other creatures, but is transparent to you. If the wall is in darkness, a creature unaware of it must succeed on a Perception check with a DC equal to your spell save DC in order to see it.

When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, it takes 4d8 necrotic damage and is cursed for 1 minute. While cursed in this way, a creature can’t recover hit points, and it must roll 1d6 whenever it makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, and subtract the result from the roll. A cursed creature can repeat the Charisma save 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 necrotic damage.

As a bonus action, you can move the wall up to 15 feet in any direction. You can either shift the entire wall, or move one of its end points.

A magical wall of snow springs into existence on a solid surface you can see within range. The wall is 12 inches thick and is composed of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel.

If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it is pushed outside of the wall to a space of its choice.

The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall must be vertical and rest on the ground. It is an object made of packed snow that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 10 and 100 hit points, and is vulnerable to fire damage. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM’s discretion.

The wall radiates intense cold, and blasts of snow explode outwards when it is damaged. A creature within 5 feet of a wall panel when it is damaged takes 1d6 cold damage, and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become restrained until the start of its next turn.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent, nonmagical, and can’t be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.
