You touch a work with writing, such as a book, scroll, or parchment, and you touch medium that could contain writing, such as a book, scroll or parchment. The work is copied into the medium at a rate of 250 words per minute, creating a perfect duplicate of the original. This spell only copies non-magical text, if the work contains non-magical writing in addition to illustrations and/or magical writing, only the non-magical writing is copied to the medium. If the medium runs out of space, then the spell ends. the spell does not translate the copied writing, it remains in the language it was copied from.

Booming Blade

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Round	Components: VM (a melee weapon)

You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee weapon attack with it. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn.

If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 Thunder Damage, and the spell ends.

This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 Thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).

Chill Touch

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Necromancy
Range: 120ft	Duration: 1 Round	Components: VS

You create a ghostly, skeletal hand in the space of a creature within range. Make a Ranged Spell Attack against the creature to assail it with the chill of the grave. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 Necrotic Damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target.

If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.

This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

Control Flames

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Transmutation
Range: 60ft	Duration: Instant	Components: S

You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways:

• You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location.
• You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube.
• You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour.
• You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Create Bonfire

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Conjuration
Range: 60ft	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: VS

You create a bonfire on ground that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the magic bonfire fills a 5-foot cube. Any creature in the bonfire’s space when you cast the spell must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d8 fire damage on a failed save.

A creature must also make the saving throw when it moves into the bonfire’s space for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The bonfire ignites flammable objects in its area that aren’t being worn or carried.

The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

Dancing Lights

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Evocation
Range: 120ft	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: VSM (a bit of phosphorus or wychwood, or a glowworm)

You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration. You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size.

Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A light must be within 20 feet of another light created by this spell, and a light winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.

Encode Thoughts

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
Range: Self	Duration: 8 hours	Components: VS

Putting a finger to your head, you pull a memory, an idea, or a message from your mind and transform it into a tangible string of glowing energy called a thought strand, which persists for the duration or until you cast this spell again. The thought strand appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you as a Tiny, weightless, semisolid object that can be held and carried like a ribbon. It is otherwise stationary.

If you cast this spell while concentrating on a spell or an ability that allows you to read or manipulate the thoughts of others (such as detect thoughts or modify memory), you can transform the thoughts or memories you read, rather than your own, into a thought strand.

Casting this spell while holding a thought strand allows you to instantly receive whatever memory, idea, or message the thought strand contains. (Casting detect thoughts on the strand has the same effect.)

Range: Self	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: SM (a small amount of makeup applied to the face as this spell is cast)

For the duration, you have advantage on all Charisma checks directed at one creature of your choice that isn’t hostile toward you. When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and becomes hostile toward you. A creature prone to violence might attack you. Another creature might seek retribution in other ways (at the DM’s discretion), depending on the nature of your interaction with it.

Frostbite

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Evocation
Range: 60ft	Duration: Instant	Components: VS

Green-Flame Blade

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: Instant	Components: SM (a melee weapon)

On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and you can cause green fire to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.

This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 2d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 3d8).

• (One Medium or smaller creature that you choose must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 5 feet away from you.
• You create a small blast of air capable of moving one object that is neither held nor carried and that weighs no more than 5 pounds. The object is pushed up to 10 feet away from you. It isn’t pushed with enough force to cause damage.
• You create a harmless sensory effect using air, such as causing leaves to rustle, wind to slam shutters shut, or your clothing to ripple in a breeze.

Infestation

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Conjuration
Range: 30ft	Duration: Instant	Components: VSM (a living flea)

The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as a free action.

Mage Hand

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Conjuration
Range: 30ft	Duration: 1 Minute	Components: VS

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial.

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
Range: 120ft	Duration: 1 Round	Components: VSM (a short copper wire)

You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings.

Mind Sliver

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
Range: 60ft	Duration: Instant	Components: V

You drive a disorienting spike of psychic energy into the mind of one creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or take 1d6 psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels: 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Minor Illusion

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Illusion
Range: 30ft	Duration: 1 Minute	Components: SM (a bit of fleece)

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

• If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate it, move it along the ground, and deposit it up to 5 feet away. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
• You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.
• If the dirt or stone you target is on the ground, you cause it to become difficult terrain. Alternatively, you can cause the ground to become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain. This change lasts for 1 hour.

Sapping Sting

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Necromancy
Range: 30ft	Duration: Instant	Components: VS

Shape Water

Level: Cantrip	Casting Time: 1 Action	Transmutation
