You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

You set an alarm against unwanted intrusion. Choose a door, a window, or an area within range that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. Until the spell ends, an alarm alerts you whenever a Tiny or larger creature touches or enters the warded area. When you cast the spell, you can designate creatures that won't set off the alarm. You also choose whether the alarm is mental or audible.
A mental alarm alerts you with a ping in your mind if you are within 1 mile of the warded area. This ping awakens you if you are sleeping.
An audible alarm produces the sound of a hand bell for 10 seconds within 60 feet.
| Level: 1 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Abjuration |
| Range: Self | Duration: 1 Hour | Components: VSM (a cup of water) |
A protective magical force surrounds you, manifesting as a spectral frost that covers you and your gear. You gain 5 temporary hit points for the duration. If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, the creature takes 5 Acid damage.

| Level: 1 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Necromancy |
| Range: 60ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: V |
You awaken the sense of mortality in one creature you can see within range. A construct or an undead is immune to this effect. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the spell ends. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
| Level: 1 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion |
| Range: Self | Duration: 1 Hour | Components: S |
This spell forms an invisible bubble that filters all speech coming from inside the affected area so that creatures outside hear a completely different version of the conversation. The bubble also disguises lip movements to match the false conversation.
Any creature listening to the conversation for at least 1 round can attempt to make a Wisdom (Insight) against your Spell Save DC to realize that the apparent conversation doesn't actually make any sense. The bubble also obscures the verbal components of spells cast within the area so it's impossible to identify spells by their verbal components alone.
| Level: 1 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion |
| Range: 15ft Cone | Duration: Instant | Components: VSM (a pinch of powder or sand that is colored red, yellow, and blue) |
A dazzling array of flashing, colored light springs from your hand. Roll 6d10; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures in a 15-foot cone originating from you are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures and creatures that can't see).
Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell is blinded until the end of your next turn. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.
- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d10 for each slot level above 1st.

| Range: 60ft | Duration: 1 Round | Components: V |
You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn't understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.
Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the DM determines how the target behaves. If the target can't follow your command, the spell ends.
- Approach. The target moves toward you by the shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it moves within 5 feet of you.
- Drop. The target drops whatever it is holding and then ends its turn.
- Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means.
- Grovel. The target falls prone and then ends its turn.

- Silence. The target stops speaking for the duration of the spell.
- Speak. The target speaks for the duration of the spell.
- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can affect one additional creature for each slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

It lasts for the duration.
The shield has an AC of 20, and is destroyed if it takes 10 or more damage from a single source. Nothing can physically pass through the shield. The wall also extends into the Second Ward, blocking ethereal travel through the wall.

Similarly, touching the ashes of a burned letter might grant you a vision of the person who destroyed the letter or the contents of the letter.

| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Conjuration |
| Range: 60ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a silver glass) |

| Range: 120ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VS |
One humanoid of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration.
While the target is charmed in this way, a twisted crown of jagged iron appears on its head, and a madness glows in its eyes.
The charmed target must use its action before moving on each of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself that you mentally choose. The target can act normally on its turn if you choose no creature or if none are within its reach.

| Range: 60ft | Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration) | Components: VM (bat fur and a drop of pitch or piece of coal) |
Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with Darkvision can't see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can't illuminate it.
If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.
If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Transmutation |
| Range: Touch | Duration: 8 Hours | Components: VSM (either a pinch of dried carrot or an agate) |

| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Divination |
| Range: Self | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a copper piece) |
For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn't speak any language, the creature is unaffected.
You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature--what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature's thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature's mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature's thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.
Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.
You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can't see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can't detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn't speak any language.
Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can't see it, but it must still be within range.

While the spell continues, the target loses 2d8 hit points at the start of each of its turns. At the end of each of its turns, the target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, it breaks free and the spell ends. Creatures that can breathe water or do not have to breathe automatically succeed on the saving throw.

You cause a creature or an object you can see within range to grow larger or smaller for the duration. Choose either a creature or an object that is neither worn nor carried. If the target is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell has no effect.
If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.
Enlarge. The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category-- from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the spell ends, the target also has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's weapons also grow to match its new size. While these weapons are enlarged, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.
Reduce. The target's size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category--from Medium to Small, for example. Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's weapons also shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (this can't reduce the damage below 1).
| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 10 Minutes | Conjuration |
| Range: 30ft | Duration: Instant | Components: VS |
You summon a spirit that assumes the form of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed, creating a long-lasting bond with it. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the steed takes on a form that you choose: a Warhorse, a Pony, a Camel, an Elk, Mastiff, or a Moorbounder. (Your GM might allow other animals to be summoned as steeds.) The steed has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a fey or highling (your choice) instead of its normal type. Additionally, if your steed has an Intelligence of 5 or less, its Intelligence becomes 6, and it gains the ability to understand one language of your choice that you speak.
Your steed serves you as a mount, both in combat and out, and you have an instinctive bond with it that allows you to fight as a seamless unit. While mounted on your steed, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target your steed.
When the steed drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. You can also dismiss your steed at any time as an action, causing it to disappear. In either case, casting this spell again summons the same steed, restored to its hit point maximum.
While your steed is within 1 mile of you, you can communicate with each other telepathically.
You can't have more than one steed bonded by this spell at a time. As an action, you can release the steed from its bond at any time, causing it to disappear.

One or two weapons that you are holding are enveloped in small whirlwinds. For the duration, the weapons are magical if they weren't already, and they also have a +1 bonus to damage rolls. This effect is suppressed for a weapon while you aren't holding it.
In addition, if you use an affected weapon to make a weapon attack on your turn, the attack gains benefits based on whether it is melee or ranged
Melee. The attack's reach is tripled, but it counts as both a melee weapon attack and a ranged spell attack if it is made outside the weapon's normal reach.
Ranged. The attack ignores disadvantage caused by long-range, being underwater, or the effects of wind, and the weapon returns to one ofyour free hands at the end of your turn if it has the thrown property.

Describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object's location, as long as that object is within 1,000 feet of you. If the object is in motion, you know the direction of its movement.

You reach into the mind of one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 3d8 Psychic Damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, you also always know the target’s location until the spell ends, but only while the two of you are on the same plane of existence. While you have this knowledge, the target can’t become hidden from you, and if it’s invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition against you.
On subsequent turns, you can cast this spell without expending spell slots on target while you maintain concentration. Create the range of this spell as infinite for the purpose of this casting of the spell.

| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion |
| Range: Self | Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration) | Components: VS |
Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it's impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates.
Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell's duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.
If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack's target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher.
A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.
A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can't see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as Blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with Truesight.

In addition, when you use the sword to attack a target that is in dim light or darkness, you make the attack roll with advantage.

The spell ends if you drop to 0 hit points or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can also dismiss the spell as an action.
| Level: 2 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Enchantment |
| Range: 60ft | Duration: 10 Minutes | Components: VS |
You create a magical zone that guards against deception in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can't speak a deliberate lie while in the radius. You know whether each creature succeeds or fails on its saving throw.
An affected creature is aware of the spell and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such a creature can be evasive in its answers as long as it remains within the boundaries of the truth.

- Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.

- While cursed, target is Slowed.
- While cursed, the target cannot speak.
- While cursed, the target shouts its thoughts out loud.
A remove curse spell ends this effect. At the DM's option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The DM has final say on such a curse's effect.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. If you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration is 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is 24 hours. If you use a 9th level spell slot, the spell lasts until it is dispelled. Using a spell slot of 5th level or higher grants a duration that doesn't require concentration.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Transmutation |
| Range: Self | Duration: 1 Minute | Components: VS |
Roll a d20 at the end of each of your turns for the duration of the spell. On a roll of 11 or higher, you vanish from your current plane of existence and appear in the Second Ward. At the start of your next turn, and when the spell ends if you are in the Second Ward, you return to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near). You can dismiss this spell as an action.
While on the Second Ward, you can see and hear the material world, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can't see anything there more than 60 feet away.

You attempt to excite a volatile reaction within a living creature. Roll 5d8. If the target creature has fewer remaining Hit Points than the amount rolled, it immediately drops to zero Hit Points.

Creatures within range must make a Dexterity Saving throw, taking 3d6 Acid Damage on a failed Save, or half as much damage on a successful Save.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Evocation |

With a snap of your fingers you banish heat from a target. There are two possible uses for the spell: targeting either one creature that you can see within range or targeting an area of liquid, such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava.
If you target a creature, it must make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a failure, the target takes 5d10 Cold Damage and until the end of your next turn, its speed is reduced to 0ft and it has disadvantage on weapon attack rolls. It also gains one level of Exhaustion unless it has Resistance or Immunity to the Cold Damage. On a successful Save, it only takes half damage and doesn't suffer any other effects.
If you target an area, your magic affects a portion of liquid that you can see within range and fits into a 30ft cube. The affected liquid is frozen solid for 10 minutes, provided that there are no creatures in the area. Not all liquids lose their properties when frozen. For example, frozen lava may still be extremely hot to the touch, and frozen acid may still sting or even cause damage in extreme concentrations.
Any levels of exhaustion caused by this spell are only removed from a creature when it finishes a long rest in a warm environment.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage dealt increases by 1d1O for each slot level above 3rd

You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot emanated cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened for the duration.
While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Hour (Ritual) | Abjuration |
| Range: Touch | Duration: Until Dispelled or Triggered | Components: VSM (incense and powdered diamond worth at least 200 gp, which the spell consumes) |
When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that later unleashes a magical effect. You inscribe it either on a surface (such as a table or a section of floor or wall) or within an object that can be closed (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest) to conceal the glyph. The glyph can cover an area no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If the surface or object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.
The glyph is nearly invisible and requires a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to be found.
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or standing on the glyph, removing another object covering the glyph, approaching within a certain distance of the glyph, or manipulating the object on which the glyph is inscribed. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers include opening that object, approaching within a certain distance of the object, or seeing or reading the glyph. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends.
You can further refine the trigger so the spell activates only under certain circumstances or according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight), creature kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect aberrations or drow), or alignment. You can also set conditions for creatures that don’t trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
When you inscribe the glyph, choose explosive runes or a spell glyph.
Explosive Runes. When triggered, the glyph erupts with magical energy in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage on a failed saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as much damage on a successful one.
Spell Glyph. You can store a prepared spell of 3rd level or lower in the glyph by casting it as part of creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or an area. The spell being stored has no immediate effect when cast in this way. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell is cast. If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that triggered the glyph. If the spell affects an area, the area is centered on that creature. If the spell summons hostile creatures or creates harmful objects or traps, they appear as close as possible to the intruder and attack it. If the spell requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an explosive runes glyph increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. If you create a spell glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you use for the glyph of warding.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Transmutation |
| Range: 30ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a shaving of licorice root) |
Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target's speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action 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.
When the spell ends, the target can't move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Transmutation |

You cause a 20ft radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range to distort. The angles and corners of the area subtly twist and contort, creating unnatural and impossible shapes. For the duration, the area becomes difficult terrain.
Any creatures in the area when this spell is cast, or that enter the area must succeed a Wisdom Saving Throw or become disoriented and become Poisoned until it leaves the area.
An affected creature can make a Wisdom Saving Throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Minute | Abjuration |
| Range: 10ft | Duration: 1 Hour | Components: VSM (holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes) |
You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.
Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: elementals, fey, highlings or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways:
The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw.
The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature.
When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.

| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Evocation |
| Range: 30ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a petrified bone or amber worth at least 75GP) |
A beam of amber earthen energy lances from your finger toward one creature that you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, it takes 5d10 necrotic damage, and it must make a Constitution saving throw if it has any limbs. On a failed saving throw, you choose one of its limbs to affect. That limb is turned to stone until the spell ends, and cannot be used to make attacks. This spell also has an additional effect based on which limb you chose as follows:
Arm. The target can no longer hold anything with the affected arm. If it only has one functional arm remaining, it can't hold anything with two hands, and it can hold only a single object at a time. If no arms remain, it can't hold anything at all.
Leg. The target's speed on foot is halved. If half or more of its legs are not functional and not replaced by prostheses, it must use a cane or crutch to move, it falls prone after using the Dash action, and it has disadvantage on Dexterity checks made to balance. If no legs remain, it can't walk at all, and must crawl.
Wing. The target's flying speed is halved. If half or more of its wings aren't functional or replaced by prostheses, it cannot fly without the aid of magic.
Tail. The target's swimming and climbing speeds are halved, except those granted by magic, unless the limb is replaced by a prosthesis.
Fin. The target's swimming speed is halved unless it is granted by magic or the limb is replaced by a prosthesis.
For the duration, the target must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves against this spell two times, the spell ends. If it fails saves four times, it stops making saving throws for this spell The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects enough of either kind.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the full duration, the limb stays petrified until the effect is dispelled or removed. Any effect that can end the petrified condition or restore a missing limb can also end this effect. If the affected limb is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state.
Undead, constructs, and creatures that cannot be petrified are entirely immune to this spell

At your touch, all curses affecting one creature or object end. If the object is a cursed magic item, its curse remains, but the spell breaks its owner's attunement to the object so it can be removed or discarded.

You create a 10x10ft extra-dimensional hole with a depth of 30ft on a horizontal surface of sufficient size. Since it extends into another dimension, the pit has no weight and does not otherwise displace the original underlying material. You can create the pit in the deck of a ship as easily as in a dungeon floor or the ground of a forest. As a bonus action, you can direct the pit to move up to 20 feet horizontally.
A creature that the pit moves under for the first time on a turn, or who ends its turn adjacent to the pit must make a Dexterity save or fall in. Any creature that avoid falling into the pit when it reaches its new destination move to the nearest safe space. Creatures that fall into the pit move with it if it is relocated.

| Range: Unlimited | Duration: 1 Round | Components: VSM (a short piece of fine copper wire) |
You send a short message of twenty-five words or less to a creature with which you are familiar. The creature hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately. The spell enables creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 1 to understand the meaning of your message.
You can send the message across any distance and even to other planes of existence, but if the target is on a different plane than you, there is a 5 percent chance that the message doesn't arrive.

| Range: 120ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a drop of molasses) |
You alter time around up to six creatures of your choice in a 40-foot cube within range. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by this spell for the duration.
An affected target's speed is halved, it takes a −2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.
If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn, and the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell is wasted.
A creature affected by this spell makes another Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the effect ends for it.
| Level: 3 | Casting Time: 1 Action | Conjuration |
| Range: 90ft | Duration: Instant | Components: V |
You teleport yourself to an unoccupied space you can see within range. Immediately after you disappear, a thunderous boom sounds, and each creature within 10 feet of the space you left must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 3d10 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The thunder can be heard from up to 300 feet away.
You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed what you can carry. You can also teleport one willing creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of you when you cast this spell, and there must be an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your destination space for the creature to appear in; otherwise, the creature is left behind.
