Spell Descriptions

The spells are presented in alphabetical order.

Acid Burst

Cantrip evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (5-foot sphere)

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

You create an acidic blast emanating from yourself. All creatures in range must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 acid damage and be covered in a small amount of acidic ichor until the end of their next turn. Unless the target, or another creature within 5 feet of it, uses an action to clean themselves of the acid, the creature takes an additional 1d4 acid damage at the end of their next turn.

The initial damage and additional acid damage at the end of the creature's turn increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4, 2d4), 11th level (3d4, 3d4), and 17th level (4d4, 4d4).

Aqua Blast

Cantrip evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

You create a powerful blast of water at a target you can see within range. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you.

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

Blood Sample

Cantrip necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Components: V, S, M (a small needle)

Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a willing creature or humanoid corpse within range. The creature or corpse takes 1 point of piercing damage, and up to 4 ounces of blood are drawn from the creature if it has any. If you have a vial or other open container within 5 feet of you or the target, you can instantly transfer the blood into the open container. Otherwise, the blood falls to the ground in a pattern you wish in a 5 foot square within range.

Once a living creature has taken this damage three times during a long rest, they can no longer have blood drawn until they finish a long rest. A corpse can only have blood drawn from it once.

Echolocation

3rd-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self

Components: V, S, M (a mummified bat head or a dolphin tooth)

Duration: Concentration, 1 hour

You touch a willing creature within range and gift it with incredible hearing and the ability to echolocate, at the cost of its sight. For the duration, the creature has blindsight out to a range of 120 feet and are blind beyond this range. In addition, the creature gains advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

If the creature is deafened, they lose the benefits of this spell and are considered blinded until they are no longer deafened.

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60 feet

Static Cloud

5th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 120 feet (20-foot sphere)

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 minute (Concentration)

You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of lightning-infused fog centered on a point within range. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. While the cloud persists, creatures that start their turn in the cloud's area or enter the cloud's area for the first time on a turn take 3d10 lightning damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's movement speed is halved. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud must also make this saving throw. On a failure, the creature is stunned until the start of its next turn.
