• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a caterpillar cocoon)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

This spell transforms one creature you can see within range into a new form of your choice. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to resist this effect, but shapechangers automatically succeed on their saving throw. This spell has no affect on a target that has 0 hit points. The transformation lasts for the duration, but it ends early if the target drops to 0 hit points or dies.

Form. The new form can be any beast you have physically seen while it was living. It must have a Challenge Rating less than or equal to the target's level or its Challenge Rating.

Statistics. Its game statistics, including its mental ability scores are replaced by those of the beast, but it does retain its alignment and personality within the limitations of that beast.

The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it was transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. If this excess damage reduces its normal form to 0 hit points, it is knocked unconscious.

Actions. The actions the creature can take are limited to those its new form is able to perform. It cannot speak, cast spells, or take any actions that require hands or speech.

Equipment. Its clothing, weapons, armor, and objects it
is holding meld into the new form. However, it can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

As a bonus action on each subsequent turn, you can use an instrument to continue the hymn and allow a creature of your choice that can hear you in range to gain these benefits again.

When you make such a ranged attack, your quiver magically replaces the ammunition you used with a nonmagical copy of that ammunition.

A shimmering opaque wall of force springs into existence at a point you choose within range and lasts for the duration.

Orientation & Shape. The wall appears in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or an angle. It can be free floating or rest on a solid surface. You can form it into a hemispherical dome, a sphere with a radius of up to 10 feet, or you can shape a flat surface made up of ten 10-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another. In any form, the wall is 1/4 inch thick. Nothing can pass through the wall physically, and anything viewed through it is lightly obscured. The wall extends into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel through the wall. If it cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it chooses which side of the wall it moves to. On a failure, you choose the side it moves to.

Statistics. The wall has 150 hit points and its Armor Class equals your Spell save DC. It is immune to poison, psychic, and non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, vulnerable to force and magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and resistant to all other damage types. It cannot be dispelled by a dispel magic spell, but a disintegrate spell destroys the wall it instantly.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th-level or higher, the hit points of the wall created by this spell increase by 25 for each spell slot level above 5th.
