Write a spell for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game. | Name: Moving Platform
Level: 2
School: Conjuration
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: Self (5-Foot Cube)
Duration: Concentration, Up To 10 Minutes
Components: S, M
Material cost: a rock.
Description: The caster throws the rock, which extends into a platform that hovers above the ground. The platform can support up to 3 average sized humanoid creatures, and can hold limitless weight. It can hover only up to 5 feet off the ground, but can go higher if there is a wall-like surface next to it, essentially allowing the platform to scale the wall.

The caster must be on or touching the platform at all times, or else it will shrink back into the rock used to cast the spell.

Write a spell for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game. | Name: Mummify
Level: 4
School: Necromancy (Ritual)
Classes: Cleric, Druid, Wizard
Casting time: 1 Hour
Range: Touch
Duration: Until Dispelled
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: embalming oils, preservatives, resins, clean linen bandages, and miscellaneous jewelry worth at least 250 gp; which the spell consumes
Description: Over the course of the spell's casting, you prepare the corpse of a creature that's been dead for no more than a century by taking it through the process of mummification: Removing unnecessary organs; soaking the body in preservatives and embalming oils; wrapping it up with linen wraps and amulets intended to ward away danger; before finally adding a resin finish to keep the body properly sealed from moisture. When all is said and done, the body has now become a mummy.
Until the spell ends, the mummy is indefintely protected from decay, can't become undead by normal means, and has no time limit on being raised from the dead, similar to the gentle repose spell. Due to missing vital organs, the mummy can only be brought back to life by spells that can regenerate its body, such as resurrection.
When you cast this spell, you can set certain trigger conditions that cause the mummy to animate and defend its surroundings. Typical triggers include when a hostile creature touches any item in the mummy's room, if its coffin is opened, or if a creature that meets certain physical or mental characteristics draws near. You can also set certain conditions for creatures not to activate the mummy, such as by speaking aloud a certain password.
When the conditions are met, the mummy will temporarily rise as an undead creature to defend its surroundings. It will not move further than 120 feet from its place of burial. When the conditions for its animation are no longer satisfied, the mummy will set the order of its surroundings back to rights as best it can, before re-entombing itself back in its resting place.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, you may use material components with a combined gp value of 2,500 or higher. If you do, the resulting mummy will animate as a mummy lord when triggered rather than a normal mummy. |

Level: 0
School: Evocation
Classes: Wizard, Sorcerer
Casting time: 1 Bonus
Range: Special
Duration: Special
Components: V, S
Description: Intentionally create a wild surge, with a SLIGHT chance of casting the intended spell
This is a Wild Magic Spell, which can only be chosen or cast by a spell caster of the Wild Magic arcane tradition or sorcerer Wild Magic bloodline.
This spell is the wild mage's ultimate last-resort spell. When cast, the mage attempts a rapid weaving of the pattern which releases a sudden flood of wild magical energy in the hope of seizing and shaping that energy into a desired spell effect. Which... is HIGHLY unlikely, but something almost always occurs in the process.
Before casting the spell, the mage announces the spell effect they are trying to create. The mage must be able to cast the spell (i.e., have it in their spell book or be part of their memorized spells), be high enough to cast it, but does not have the spell slots for the spell. After announcing the spell (along with the target and any other conditions required by the spell), the wild mage casts Nahal's reckless dweomer. A burst of magical energy is released, which the wild mage tries to manipulate into the desired form. The actual effect of the spell is rolled randomly on Wild Surge Results.
Because the release of energy is planned by the mage. If the result indicates success, the mage has shaped the magical energy into the desired effect. If not, then the wild surge is released - The result may be beneficial to the mage (cure wounds on themselves) or it may be completely disastrous (The mage explodes); this is the risk the mage takes in casting Nahal's reckless dweomer. The higher spell slot level the spell being attempted, the more likely the resulting failure; Modify the results by reducing the resulting roll by (5 times the spell slot level used).
You should use the following Wild Surge result table.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 1 or higher when you generate a wild surge you may add (5 times the spell slot level used) to the wild surge result.

The vision prevents restful sleep. It causes 1d10 psychic damage, increases the target's exhaustion by one level, and makes them unable to regain arcane spells for the next 24 hours. Each consecutive night of visions increases the target's exhaustion by one additional level; two nights of consecutive visions increases exhaustion to level 2, three nights of visions increases exhaustion to level 3, and so on.
A dispel evil and good spell cast on the target while you are casting the spell dispels the visions and causes you to be stunned for (10 * caster's level or caster's Challenge Rating) minutes. For instance, if the dispel evil and good spell is cast by a 4th level caster, you are stunned for 40 minutes. If the caster has both a level and challenge rating, use whichever's lower.
If the target is awake when the spell begins, you can choose to cease casting (ending the spell) or to enter a trance until the target goes to sleep, whereupon you become alert again and complete the casting. If you are disturbed during the trance, you must succeed on a Concentration check as if you were in the midst of casting a spell or the spell ends.
If you choose to enter a trance, you are not aware of your surroundings or the activities around you while in the trance. You are defenseless, both physically and mentally, while in the trance (you always fail any saving throw, for example).
Creatures who don't sleep or dream, such as elves, are immune to this spell |

Creatures (including you) that enter the area of the gas for the first time on a turn or start their turn there must make the Constitution saving throw to avoid being poisoned. Creatures in the area of the gas that repeat the saving throw do so with disadvantage. A strong wind can disperse the poison gas.
Sapping. Creatures poisoned by the gas deal only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength and have disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
Sleeper. The poison causes creatures to drift in and out of consciousness. Every time a creature fails its saving throw against the poison by 5 or more, it falls unconscious until the end of its next turn. |

Level: 3
School: Evocation
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: 120 Feet
Duration: Instantaneous
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: A tiny piece of conductive metal
Description: This spell, invented by the tabaxi wizard Nyan Kajan, was made in response to a frustration the transmuter had with the end all be all spell of fireball and the comparable lack of use of Lightning Bolt. It emulates fireball in many ways, but trades some of that spell's raw power for lightning damage. As a result, the spell appears as an almost perfectly spherical orb of electrical energy.
A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of plasma. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 7d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The lightning spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd. |

Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, Up To 10 Minutes
Components: V, S
Description: Invented by the tabaxi Wizard Nyan Kajan, this spell acts as a different take on the existing Investiture of Lightning on this wiki.
Lightning wreaths your form and swirls around your body, making your hair stand on end and your body shed bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet for the spell's duration. The lightning doesn't harm you. Until the spell ends, you gain the following benefits:
You are immune to lightning damage and have resistance to thunder damage.
Your speed is doubled and you don't provoke opportunity attacks as a result of leaving a creature's range without disengaging.
You can use your action to create a line of lightning 20 feet long and 5 feet wide extending from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save. |

Level: 9
School: Transmutation
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
Casting time: 1 Bonus Action
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, Up To 1 Minute
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: A morsel of sugary food
Description: Invented by the Tabaxi Wizard Nyan Kajan, this spell allows the caster to move at almost exactly the speed of light for a short time. Rainbow-colored lightning wreaths the form of the caster as they appear to blur and shake before vanishing from their immense speed, the only sign that they're still around being occasional flashes of bright light in their path.
Until the spell ends, you have a movement speed of 6,000,000,000 feet, you gain a +5 bonus to AC, automatically succeed on Dexterity saving throws, are invisible, don't provoke opportunity attacks as a result of entering or leaving a creature's space, and you gain two additional actions on each of your turns. The actions can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. Until the spell ends, you cannot dash and all of your movement speeds cannot be raised in any way. Using your sheer momentum from this spell, you can move across liquid surfaces as if they were solid ground (This provides no protection from the harm those surfaces can cause if moving across obviously dangerous terrain, such as lava), and can run up walls and even on ceilings. If at any point you are forced to stop moving (Besides using all of your movement), such as by your movement speed being reduced to 0 feet, the spell ends.
When the spell ends, you can't move or take actions until after your next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over you. You also gain 1 point of Exhaustion from this draining backlash.
DM Note: The movement speed given above is about 101% the speed of light assuming the character's movement is across 6 seconds (The whole turn). Anything travelling that fast could move around the entire Earth 7 and a half times in one second. A player should reasonably never run out of movement speed, but while outright giving the spell unlimited movement speed would have made things simpler, it would also be much faster than the speed of light, as that would make everything they do instantaneous. Given the Time Stop spell exists, that would make this spell redundant. In practice, actually tracking how much movement a player has spent while using this spell is hopefully unrequired. |

Material cost: either a diamond, onyx gemstone, ruby, or an emerald worth at least 1,000 gp
Description: This spell transforms you into a new form.
The transformation lasts for the duration, or until you drop to 0 hit points or die. The new form can be any celestial, demon, devil, or fey whose challenge rating is equal to your level or less. Your game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. You retain your alignment and personality.
You assume the hit points of your new form. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. If you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
You are limited in the actions you can perform by nature of your new form, and you can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech unless the new form is naturally capable of doing so.
If the new form does not naturally wield gear then your gear melds into the new form. You can't activate, use wield, or otherwise benefit from any of your equipment. If the new form does naturally wield gear then your gear transforms into the standard gear wielded by the new form, as determined by the DM. |

The termination condition can be based on a creature's name, identity, or deity but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities and not based on intangibles such as level, class, or hit points. If the target agrees, either verbally or with a signature, the contract disappears in a flash of smokeless flame, and both you and the target are bound by it.

If either party attempts to violate the terms of the agreement, they must make a Wisdom saving throw. On success, they take 2d10 psychic damage and continue as normal. On failure, they take 1d10 psychic damage and must choose a different course of action.
Once the termination condition is met, the contract no longer binds either party. |

Casting time: 1 Minute
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, Up To 1 Hour.
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: s small hand lens
Description: For the duration, you gain supernatural intuition into chaos and entropy, able to pick up on impossibly subtle clues. You can use this intuition to do the following automatically:
Visualize how a broken or incomplete object would look when whole.
Pick out individual elements in a crowded group — for instance, picking out a single set of footprints from a crowded muddy market square (though not whose footprints they are), making out a single voice over a crowd's roar (though not who the voice belongs to), finding a needle in a haystack, etc.
Determine the exact number of objects in a group of similar objects (gold coins in a dragon's hoard, soldiers in an approaching army, etc.).
Notice hidden messages or order in a set or pattern.
You must be able to see or hear the thing you're trying to make sense of and cannot gain specific information beyond what's described above (you can't determine that a given cup is poisoned, only that the liquid within is somehow different than the liquid in a bunch of identical cups). |
Write a spell for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game. | Name: Pebble Blink
Level: 4
School: Transmutation
Classes: Bard, Paladin, Ranger
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: 15 Feet
Duration: Instantaneous
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: A pebble from where you want to blink to
Description: M
Blink the party to the place where you picked up a pebble no more than 1 mile away earlier in the adventure. Every creature within 15 feet of you that you choose to blink with instantly vanishes and reappears where you picked up the pebble. A creature that does not want to be affected may make a DC (15 - the number of creatures blinked) wisdom roll. Creatures that are not your companions or friends have a sense that it is good to resist this spell.
Damage
Everyone lands in a pile at the same place and each creature blinked needs to make a DC (10 + the number of creatures blinked) dexterity roll to avoid 2d6 damage. This damage will not reduce any creature below 0 HP, and they will be stable, merely unconscious. Oddly enough, if they were in the process of making death saves, this spell will stabilize them. If only you blinked you do not take damage.
V, S
The verbal component of this spell is "Everyone to me!" or something like that, then some sort of appropriate magic word, effect, or gesture.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, each creature blinked takes no damage. |
