Bless

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
Range: 30ft	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VSM (a sprinkling of holy water)

You bless up to three creatures of your choice within range. Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw.

Ceremony

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Hour (Concentration)	Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: Instant	Components: VSM (25 gp worth of powdered silver, which the spell consumes)

You perform a special religious ceremony that is infused with magic. When you cast the spell, choose one of the following rites, the target of which must be within 10 feet of you throughout the casting.

Atonement. You touch one willing creature whose alignment has changed, and you make a DC 20 Wisdom (Insight) check. On a successful check, you restore the target to its original alignment.

Bless Water. You touch one vial of water and cause it to become holy water.

Coming of Age. You touch one humanoid who is a young adult. For the next 24 hours, whenever the target makes an ability check, it can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the ability check. A creature can benefit from this rite only once.

Dedication. You touch one humanoid who wishes to be dedicated to your god’s service. For the next 24 hours, whenever the target makes a saving throw, it can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the save. A creature can benefit from this rite only once.

Command

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
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.

Halt. The target doesn't move and takes no actions. A flying creature stays aloft, provided that it is able to do so. If it must move to stay aloft, it flies the minimum distance needed to remain in the air.

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.

Compelled Duel

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Enchantment
Range: 30ft	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: V

You attempt to compel a creature into a duel. One creature that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, compelled by your divine demand. For the duration, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this spell doesn’t restrict the target’s movement for that turn.

The spell ends if you attack any other creature, if you cast a spell that targets a hostile creature other than the target, if a creature friendly to you damages the target or casts a harmful spell on it, or if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target.

Cure Wounds

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action	Necromancy
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 Instant	Components: VS

A creature you touch regains a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Detect Evil and Good

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Minute (Ritual)	Divination
Range: Self	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VS

For the duration, you know if there is an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead within 30 feet of you, as well as where the creature is located. Similarly, you know if there is a place or object within 30 feet of you that has been magically consecrated or desecrated.

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

Detect Magic

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Minute (Ritual)	Divination
Range: Self	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VS

For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

Detect Poison

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action (Ritual)	Divination
Range: Self	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VSM (a yea leaf)

For the duration, you can sense the presence and location of poisons, poisonous creatures, and diseases within 30 feet of you. You also identify the kind of poison, poisonous creature, or disease in each case.

The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

Disguise Self

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action (Ritual)	Illusion
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Hour	Components: VS

You make yourself--including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person--look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.

Divine Favor

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: VS

Your prayer empowers you with divine radiance. Until the spell ends, your weapon attacks deal an extra 1d4 radiant damage on a hit.

Heroism

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

A willing creature you touch is imbued with bravery. Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to being frightened and gains temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of its turns. When the spell ends, the target loses any remaining temporary hit points from this spell.

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.

Protection From Evil and Good

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action	Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VSM (holy water or powdered silver and iron, which the spell consumes)

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, elementals, fey, highlings, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

Purify Food and Drink

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Action (Ritual)	Transmutation
Range: 10ft	Duration: Instant	Components: VS

All nonmagical food and drink within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range is purified and rendered free of poison and disease.

Searing Smite

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: V

If the warded creature makes an attack, casts a spell that affects an enemy, or deals damage to another creature, this spell ends.

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 until the spell ends, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a successful save, the spell 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.

Shield of Faith

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Abjuration
Range: 60ft	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VSM (a small parchment with a bit of holy text written on it)

A shimmering field appears and surrounds a creature of your choice within range, granting it a +2 bonus to AC for the duration.

Thunderous Smite

Level: 1	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: V

The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell’s duration, your weapon rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to the target. Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from you and knocked prone.

Wrathful Smite

Bestow Proficiency

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Action	Enchantment
Range: Touch	Duration: 8 Hours	Components: V

Branding Smite

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Evocation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration)	Components: V

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, the weapon gleams with astral radiance as you strike.

Dragon's Voice

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Action	Transmutation
Range: Self	Duration: 1 Hour	Components: V

By magically altering the way your vocal cords create sounds, you can emulate the vocal inflections of dragons. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check while dealing with Dragons, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Find Steed

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.

Gale Weapons

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Transmutation
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 Hour (Concentration)	Components: VS

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.

Lesser Restoration

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Action	Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: Instant	Components: VS

You touch a creature and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be Blinded, Deafened, Paralyzed, or Poisoned.

Locate Object

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Action	Divination
Range: Self	Duration: 10 Minutes (Concentration)	Components: VSM (a forked twig)

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.
The spell can locate a specific object known to you, as long as you have seen it up close--within 30 feet--at least once. Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.
This spell can't locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the object.

Magic Weapon

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action	Transmutation
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 Hour (Concentration)	Components: VS

You touch a weapon. Until the spell ends, that weapon becomes a magic weapon if it was not already, and has a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the bonus increases to +2. When you use a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the bonus increases to +3.

Protection From Poison

Level: 2	Casting Time: 1 Action	Abjuration
Range: Touch	Duration: 1 Hour	Components: VS

You touch a creature. If it is poisoned, you neutralize the poison. If more than one poison afflicts the target, you neutralize one poison that you know is present, or you neutralize one at random.
For the duration, the target has advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and it has resistance to Poison damage.

Zone of Truth

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.
