Cantrips
Arachnophobia
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Bard, Druid, Psion, Shaman, Warlock |
Range: 30ft | Duration: Instant | Components: VM (a live spider) | Arcane, Primal |
You plant a terrifying phantasm of arachnids in the mind of a creature you can see within Range, forcing it to make a Charisma Saving Throw. On a failed Save, the target becomes convinced that it is covered in skittering, biting spiders until the beginning of its next turn. It takes 1d4 Psychic Damage and can't take Reactions until the beginning of its next turn due to the distracting sensations.
The Spell's Damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th Level (2d4), 11th Level (3d4), and 17th Level (4d4).
Dazzle
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Artificer, Bard, Druid, Psion, Seeker, Shaman, Sorcerer, Soul-Binder, Warlock, Wizard |
Range: 30ft | Duration: 1 Round | Components: VS | Arcane, Primal |
You create a burst of colored smoke, sparkling lights, or other fanciful imagery in a 15ft Cube centered on a point of your choice within Range that lasts until the end of your next turn. The area of the Cube is Heavily Obscured and dissipates when the Spell ends.
The size of the Cube increases by 5ft when you reach 5th Level (20ft), 11th Level (25ft), and 17th Level (30ft).
Dancing Lights
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Artificer, Bard, Sorcerer, Soul-Binder, Wizard |
Range: 120ft Still Emanation | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a bit of phosphorus or wychwood, or a glowworm) | Arcane |
You create up to 4 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 shape up to Medium Size. The lights each shed Dim Light out to a Range of 10ft no matter what form they take.
As a Bonus Action you can move the lights up to 60ft each to a new space within the Range of the Spell. If a light is ever outside the Range of the Spell or farther than 20ft from any other light created by this Spell, that light vanishes.
The Spell creates 2 additional lights when you reach 5th Level (6 lights), 11th Level (8 lights), and 17th Level (10 lights).
Flashburn
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Artificer, Bard, Psion, Sorcerer, Wizard |
Range: 60ft | Duration: 1 Minute (Concentration) | Components: VSM (a bit of magnesium phosphate) | Arcane |
You cause a dazzling pattern of light to appear briefly in a 5ft Cube centered on a point you choose within Range. The pattern emits Bright Light out to a Range of 15ft before immediately dissipating. A creature in the Cube and can see the pattern makes a Wisdom Saving throw. On a failed Save, the pattern is burned into its vision, causing to to subtract a d4 from the next Attack Roll or Ability Check relying on sight it makes before the Spell ends.
After this Attack or Check is made, the Spell ends on that creature and its vision returns to normal.
The size of the Cube created increases when you reach 5ft Level (10ft), 11th Level (15ft) and 17th Level (20ft)
Hush
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Reaction (when a noise is created that you could anticipate) | Illusion | Bard, Psion, Seeker, Sorcerer, Wizard |
Range: 30ft | Duration: Instant | Components: S | Arcane |
When you hear a creature or object within Range make noise, you can hold your finger to your lips and silence that noise for the rest of the turn.
If you can anticipate a noise, you can prevent it, such as hushing the sound of a vase you dropped before it shatters, or hushing the scream of a person you just stabbed.
If you can't anticipate a noise, you can only interupt it. For this reason, you cannot hush the first 3 words of a sentence, nor the Verbal Components of a Spell.
The Spell's Range increases by 30ft when you reach 5th Level (60ft), 11th Level (90ft), and 17th Level (120ft)
Illusion Bolt
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Bard, Psion, Seeker, Sorcerer, Soul-Binder, Warlock, Wizard |
Range: 90ft | Duration: Instant | Components: VS | Arcane |
You create an illusory shadow-projectile in your hand and launch it with unerring precision at a creature you can see within Range. The illusory projectile can look and sound like whatever you choose, provided it can fit in your hand. The target makes an Intelligence Saving Throw, it has Advantage on this Saving Throw if it would have Resistance to the Damage Type the projectile looks like it would deal, and it automatically succeeds the Saving Throw if it has Immunity to the Damage Type the projectile looks like it would deal. On a failed Save the target takes 1d8 Psychic Damage. The resulting wound looks and feels real, appropriate to the projectile, but all physical evidence of the attack disappears at the end of your turn. This Damage is non-lethal. The target perceives the Damage taken as a Type that would be appropriate to the illusory projectile.
The Spell's Damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th Level (2d8), 11th Level (3d8), and 17th Level (4d8).
Minor Illusion
Level: Cantrip | Casting Time: 1 Action | Illusion | Bard, Psion, Seeker, Sorcerer, Soul-Binder, Warlock, Wizard |
Range: 30ft | Duration: 1 Minute | Components: SM (a bit of fleece) | Arcane |
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 a Free Action if you 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 5ft 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.
The Spell can create an additional illusion when you reach 5th Level (up to 2 illusions), 11th Level (up to 3 illusions), and 17th Level (up to 4 illusions).
