Font of Magic

• Flexible Casting: Use sorcery points to gain additional spell slots or sacrifice spell slots to gain additional sorcery points. You can transform sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. It costs 2 sorcery points to create a 1st level spell slot, 3 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, 6 for 4th, 7 for 5th. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of sorcery points equal to the slot's level.
• Metamagic:
  • Distant Spell: When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the range of the spell. When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.
  • Empowered Spell: You can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier. You must use the new rolls. You can use Empowered Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.
  • Twinned Spell: When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of SP equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 SP if the spell is a cantrip)

Cantrips

• Control Flames: transmutation; 1 action, 60/75 feet, instant or 1 hour, 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: 1) You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. 2) You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. 3) 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. 4) 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.
• Frostbite: evocation; 1 action, 60/75 ft, instant, VS. You cause numbing frost to form on one creature that you can see within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 3d6 cold damage and has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. Damage increases by 1d6 @ 17th lvl.
• Mold Earth: transmutation; 1 action, 30/37.5 ft, instant or 1 hour, S. You choose a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways: 1) 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. 2) 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. 3) 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. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
• Prestidigitation: transmutation; 1 action, 10/12.5 ft, 1 hr, VS. If you cast spell multiple times, up to three of its non-instantaneous effects can be active at a time. Create an instantaneous sensory effect that is harmless, such as a shower of sparks; light or snuff out candle, torch, or small campfire; clean or soil item no larger than 1 cubic ft; chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 lb of nonliving material; make a color, small mark, or symbol appear on object or surface; produce small, nonmagical trinket or illusory image that lasts until end of your next turn; make small handheld item invisible until end of your next turn.
• 'Shape Water:' transmutation; 1 action, 30/37.5 ft, instant or 1 hour, S. You choose an area of water that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways: 1) You instantaneously move or otherwise change the flow of the water as you direct, up to 5 feet in any direction. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage. 2) You cause the water to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. This change lasts for 1 hour. 3) You change the water’s color or opacity. The water must be changed in the same way throughout. This change lasts for 1 hour. 4) You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
• Shocking Grasp: evocation; 1 action, touch, instantaneous, VS. Make a melee spell attack; gain advantage if target is wearing metal armor. 2d8 lightning damage, and target can't take reactions until start of its next turn. Damage increases by 1d8 @ 17th lvl.

1st Level

• Chromatic Orb: evocation; 1 action, 90/112.5 ft, instant, VSM (a diamond worth at least 50 gp). You hurl a 4-inch-diameter sphere of energy at a creature within range. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder for the type of orb you create, and then make a ranged spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the creature takes 3d8 damage of the type you chose. Cast at 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
• Shield: abjuration; 1 reaction, self, 1 round, VS. Until start of next turn, +5 bonus to AC, including against triggering attack, and take no damage from magic missile.

2nd Level

• Alter Self: transmutation; 1 action, self, concentration up to 1 hour, VS. Choose one of the following options. While spell lasts, you can end one option as an action to gain the benefits of a different one. Aquatic Adaptation: Adapt your body to an aquatic environment, sprouting gills and growing webbing between your fingers. You can breathe underwater and gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. Change Appearance: You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, sound of your voice, hair length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race. You also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same. At any time for the duration of the spell, you can use your action to change your appearance in this way again. Natural Weapons: You grow claws, fangs, spines, horns, or a different natural weapon of your choice. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, as appropriate to the natural weapon you chose, and you are proficient with your unarmed strikes. Finally, the natural weapon is magic and you have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls you make using it.
• Detect Thoughts: divination; 1 action, self, concentration up to 1 min, VSM. Read surface thoughts of any creature w/in 30 ft range you can see. As an action, shift attention to new target or attempt to probe deeper into initial target's thoughts. If you probe deeper, target must make a Wis save. On fail, you gain insight into its reasoning, emotional state, & something that looms large in its mind. If target succeeds, spell ends. Either way, target becomes aware of you. Unless you shift your attention, it can (as its action on its turn) make a contested Int check against you to end your spell. Spell is good for interrogations, as verbal questions will shape target's thoughts. You can also detect creatures w/in range that you can't see; once detected, you can read thoughts as above even if target is still out of sight so long as it doesn't move out of range. Spell can penetrate barriers, but is blocked by 2 ft rock, thin sheet of lead, or 2 in any other metal. Creatures that speak no language or have Int 3 or less are unaffected.
• Invisibility: illusion; 1 action, touch, concentration up to 1 hour, VSM. A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target’s person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.

3rd Level

• Counterspell: abjuration; 1 reaction (which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell), 60/75 ft, instant, S. If creature is casting spell of 3rd level or lower, spell fails. If spell is 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.
• Dispel Magic: abjuration; 1 action, 120/150 ft, instant, VS. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a successful check, the spell ends. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you automatically end the effects of a spell on the target if the spell’s level is equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used.

4th Level

• Storm Sphere: evocation; 1 action, 150/187.5 ft, concentration up to 1 minute, VS. A 20-ft-radius sphere of whirling air springs into existence centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere remains for the spell’s duration. Each creature in the sphere when it appears or that ends its turn there must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage. The sphere’s space is difficult terrain. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the center of the sphere toward one creature you choose within 60 feet of the center. Make a ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is in the sphere. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 lightning damage. Creatures within 30 feet of the sphere have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to listen. Cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases for each of its effects by 1d6.

5th Level

• Telekinesis: transmutation; 1 action, 60/75 ft, concentration up to 10 minutes, VS. You can affect the same target round after round, or choose a new one at any time. If you switch targets, the prior target is no longer affected by the spell. You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. Make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by the creature’s Strength check. If you win, you move the creature up to 30 feet in any direction, including upward but not beyond the range of this spell. Until the end of your next turn, the creature is restrained in your telekinetic grip. A creature lifted upward is suspended in mid-air. On subsequent rounds, you can use your action to attempt to maintain your telekinetic grip on the creature. You can try to move an object that weighs up to 1,000 pounds. If the object isn’t being worn or carried, you automatically move it up to 30 feet in any direction, but not beyond the range of this spell. If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by that creature’s Strength check. If you succeed, you pull the object away from that creature and can move it up to 30 feet in any direction but not beyond the range of this spell. You can exert fine control on objects with your telekinetic grip, such as manipulating a simple tool, opening a door or a container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents from a vial.

6th Level

• Arcane Gate: conjuration; 1 action, 500/625 ft, concentration up to 10 minutes, VS. You create linked teleportation portals that remain open for the duration. Choose two points on the ground that you can see, one point within 10 feet of you and one point within 500 feet of you. A circular portal, 10 feet in diameter, opens over each point. If the portal would open in the space occupied by a creature, the spell fails, and the casting is lost. The portals are two-dimensional glowing rings filled with mist, hovering inches from the ground and perpendicular to it at the points you choose. A ring is visible only from one side (your choice), which is the side that functions as a portal. Any creature or object entering the portal exits from the other portal as if the two were adjacent to each other; passing through a portal from the nonportal side has no effect. The mist that fills each portal is opaque and blocks vision through it. On your turn, you can rotate the rings as a bonus action so that the active side faces in a different direction.
• Chain Lightning: evocation; 1 action, 150/187.5 ft, instant, VSM. You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts. A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 10d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Casting this spell at 7th level or higher creates one additional bolt from the first target to another target for each slot level above 6th.

Rituals

Magical Ability: Intelligence +3

1st Level

• Alarm: abjuration; 11 min, 30 ft, 8 hrs, VSM. 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.
• Comprehend Languages: divination; 10 min, self, 1 hr, VSM. You understand the literal meaning of spoken language and written language, provided you're touching the surface on which the words are written. Takes about 1 min to read one pg of text.
• Detect Magic: divination; 10 min, self, up to 10 min, VS. Sense presence of magic within 30 ft. If you sense magic, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object that bears magic and learn its school of magic, if any. Spell can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 1 ft stone, 1 in common metal, thin sheet of lead, or 3 ft wood/dirt.
• Find Familiar: conjuration; 1 hour & 10 min, self, permanent.
• Identify: divination; 11 min, touch, instantaneous, VSM (pearl worth 100 gp). Must touch object throughout casting. Learn item's properties, how to use them, whether it requires attunement, how many charges it has, if any spells are affecting it & what they are. If item was created by a spell, you learn which one. Can also be used to discern what spells are affecting a creature.
• Illusory Script: illusion; 11 min, self, 10 days, SM. To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it were written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know. Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear. A creature with truesight can read the hidden message.
• Tenser's Floating Desk: conjuration; 10 min, 30 feet, 1 hr, VSM. This spell creates a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk remains for the duration, and can hold up to 500 pounds. If more weight is placed on it, the spell ends, and everything on the disk falls to the ground. The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. It can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes and the like, but it can’t cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can’t move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom. If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.
• Unseen Servant: conjuration; 10 min, 60/75 ft, 1 hr, VSM. Creates invisible, mindless, shapeless force that performs simple tasks at your command. The servant has AC 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 2, and it can’t attack. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. Once on each of your turns as a bonus action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command. If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.

2nd Level

• Gentle Repose: necromancy; 10 min, touch, 10 days, VSM. You touch a corpse or other remains. For the duration, the target is protected from decay and can’t become undead. The spell also effectively extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead, since days spent under the influence of this spell don’t count against the time limit of spells such as raise dead.
• Magic Mouth: illusion; 11 min, 30 ft, until dispelled, VSM (a small bit of honeycomb and jade dust worth at least 10 gp, which the spell consumes). Implant a message within an object in range, a message that is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object that you can see and that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature. Then speak the message, which must be 25 words or less, though it can be delivered over as long as 10 minutes. Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the spell to deliver your message. When that circumstance occurs, a magical mouth appears on the object and recites the message in your voice and at the same volume you spoke. If the object you chose has a mouth or something that looks like a mouth (for example, the mouth of a statue), the magical mouth appears there so that the words appear to come from the object’s mouth. When you cast this spell, you can have the spell end after it delivers its message, or it can remain and repeat its message whenever the trigger occurs. The triggering circumstance can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the object. For example, you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves within 30 feet of the object or when a silver bell rings within 30 feet of it.

3rd Level

• Feign Death: necromancy; 10 min, touch, 1 hr, VSM. You touch a willing creature and put it into a cataleptic state that is indistinguishable from death. For the spell’s duration, or until you use an action to touch the target and dismiss the spell, the target appears dead to all outward inspection and to spells used to determine the target’s status. The target is blinded and incapacitated, and its speed drops to 0. The target has resistance to all damage except psychic damage. If the target is diseased or poisoned when you cast the spell, or becomes diseased or poisoned while under the spell’s effect, the disease and poison have no effect until the spell ends.
• Leomund's Tiny Hut: evocation; 11 min, self (10-ft-radius hemisphere), 8 hrs, VSM. A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.
• Phantom Steed: illusion; 11 min, 30 ft, 1 hr, VS. A Large quasi-real, horselike creature appears on the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice within range. You decide the creature’s appearance, but it is equipped with a saddle, bit, and bridle. Any of the equipment created by the spell vanishes in a puff of smoke if it is carried more than 10 feet away from the steed. For the duration, you or a creature you choose can ride the steed. The creature uses the statistics for a riding horse, except it has a speed of 100 feet and can travel 10 miles in an hour, or 13 miles at a fast pace. When the spell ends, the steed gradually fades, giving the rider 1 minute to dismount. The spell ends if you use an action to dismiss it or if the steed takes any damage.
• Water Breathing: transmutation; 10 min, 30 ft, 24 hrs, VSM. This spell grants up to ten willing creatures you can see within range the ability to breathe underwater until the spell ends. Affected creatures also retain their normal mode of respiration.

5th Level

• Contact Other Plane: divination; 10 min, self, 1 min, V. You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” “never,” “irrelevant,” or “unclear” (if the entity doesn’t know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.
• Rary's Telepathic Bond: divination; 10 min, 30 ft, 1 hour, VSM. You forge a telepathic link among up to eight willing creatures of your choice within range, psychically linking each creature to all the others for the duration. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or less aren’t affected by this spell. Until the spell ends, the targets can communicate telepathically through the bond whether or not they have a common language. The communication is possible over any distance, though it can’t extend to other planes of existence.

6th Level

• Drawmij’s Instant Summons: conjuration; 11 min, touch, until dispelled, VSM (a sapphire worth 1,000 gp) You touch an object weighing 10 pounds or less whose longest dimension is 6 feet or less. The spell leaves an invisible mark on its surface and invisibly inscribes the name of the item on the sapphire you use as the material component. Each time you cast this spell, you must use a different sapphire. At any time thereafter, you can use your action to speak the item’s name and crush the sapphire. The item instantly appears in your hand regardless of physical or planar distances, and the spell ends. If another creature is holding or carrying the item, crushing the sapphire doesn’t transport the item to you, but instead you learn who the creature possessing the object is and roughly where that creature is located at that moment. Dispel magic or a similar effect successfully applied to the sapphire ends this spell’s effect.
