Banishment

4-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: an item distasteful to the target
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Attack/Save: CHA Save
Damage/Effect: Banishment, Control
You attempt to send one creature that you can see within range to another plane of existence. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished.   If the target is native to the plane of existence you’re on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated. The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.   If the target is native to a different plane of existence than the one you’re on, the target is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn’t return.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th.

Cursed Gift

4-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: an object worth at least 75 gp.
Duration: 24 hours
Attack/Save: CHA Save
Damage/Effect: Debuff
Cursed gift imbues an object with a harmful magical effect that you or another creature in physical contact with you is currently suffering from. If you give this object to a creature that freely accepts it during the duration of the spell, the recipient must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the harmful effect is transferred to the recipient for the duration of the spell (or until the effect ends). Returning the object to you, destroying it, or giving it to someone else has no effect. Remove Curse and comparable magic can relieve the individual who received the item, but the harmful effect still returns to the previous victim when this spell ends if the effect’s duration has not expired.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration increases by 24 hours for each slot level above 4th.

Fey Tricks

4-level Abjuration

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell
Range/Area: 60ft.
Components: Somatic
Duration: Instant
Attack/Save: DC = 10 + Spell Level
Damage/Effect: Control
With a wink and a nod, you attempt to take control of a spell as it is being cast. If the creature is casting a spell of 4th level or lower, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, you gain control of the spell as if you cast it from that creature’s space. You can choose the direction of the line, the point where the spell is centered, the spell’s targets, and any other parameters of the spell. If the spell has a range of Self and doesn’t affect other targets, fey tricks fails. For example, you can redirect the line of a lightning bolt spell with the original caster as the origin, but you wouldn’t be able to take control of the false life spell.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the spell you take control of can be less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

Dimension Door

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 500ft.
Components: Verbal
Duration: Instant
Damage/Effect: Teleportation
You teleport yourself from your current location to any other spot within range. You arrive at exactly the spot desired.

You can also bring one willing creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of you when you cast this spell.   If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, you and any creature traveling with you each take 4d6 force damage, and the spell fails to teleport you.

Doom of the Pit

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 120ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: dust from a stone quarry
Duration: 1 minute
Attack/Save: DEX Save
Damage/Effect: Necrotic
You create a ripple of dark energy that destroys everything it touches. A 10-foot-radius, 10-foot-deep, cylindrical extradimensional hole appears on a horizontal surface of sufficient size. Since it extends into another dimension, the pit has no weight and does not otherwise displace the original underlying material. You can create the pit in the deck of a ship as easily as in a dungeon floor or the ground of a forest.    The pit’s radius expands by 10 feet at the start of your turn each round for the duration. Any creature standing in the original conjured space, or on a space taken up by the pit as it grows, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid falling in. Any creature adjacent to the pit when it expands must likewise succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid falling in. Creatures subjected to a successful pushing effect (such as by a spell like Gust of Wind) may not make this saving throw. Creatures that fall into the pit take falling damage as normal.    The walls of the pit are slick and slimy, requiring a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to climb. Creatures and objects that remain in the pit take 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of their turns. If you fall into your own pit, you take damage; then the spell ends and you are incapacitated for 2 rounds.   When the spell ends, the floor of the pit rises, bringing creatures in the pit back up to the original surface. Each creature in the pit must then make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is stunned for 2 rounds after the spell ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can increase the depth of the pit by 10 feet for each slot level above 3rd.

Khamsin's Chariot

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
You create a 5-foot-radius, 30-foot-tall cylinder of swirling air on a point you can see within range. Each Huge or smaller creature in the cylinder when it appears or that ends its turn within 5 feet of the cylinder must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by it. A creature restrained by the whirlwind can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it is no longer restrained and is safely ejected into an unoccupied space of its choice within 5 feet of the whirlwind.   As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can move the whirlwind up to 30 feet. If you move the whirlwind, creatures restrained by the whirlwind are moved with it when it moves. If you move the whirlwind into a creature, that creature must make the saving throw against being restrained by the cylinder, and the whirlwind stops moving this turn. If you are within 5 feet of the whirlwind when it moves, you can choose to be carried along with it and safely deposited in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of its destination. You can’t be restrained by the whirlwind.   Alternatively, as a bonus action on each of your turns, you can choose to violently eject a creature restrained by the whirlwind instead of moving the whirlwind. The creature is thrown up to 40 feet in a random direction and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the whirlwind’s radius increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

Book of Ebon Tides

Lunar Transfer

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: 200ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: an opal worth 500gp, which the spell consumes
Duration: Instant
Attack/Save: WIS Save
Damage/Effect: Fey
This spell instantly summons a glittering moonbeam that transports one sleeping creature or object of your choice that you can see within range to a destination you select. If you target an unwilling creature, it gains a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell fails, and the caster appears in the target location instead. A transferred creature wakes up as soon as it arrives at its destination. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and it can’t be held or carried by an unwilling creature. The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether the creature or object arrives there successfully.   The GM rolls d20 and consults the Lunar Transfer table below. The following destination definitions will help:
  • Grove or Magic Circle means a hallowed druid grove or a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know.
  • Memento means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard’s library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a lich’s secret tomb.
  • Very Familiar is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell.
  • Seen Casually is someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren’t very familiar. Viewed Once is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic.
  • Description is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else’s description, perhaps from a map.
  • False Destination is a place that doesn’t exist. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy’s sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or perhaps you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists.
Also consider the following arrival definitions as well:
  • On Target. The target creature or object appears where you want it to.
  • Off Target. The target creature or object appears a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 5 miles times a 1d20 roll, though never more than half the distance traveled. For example, if you sent someone 250 miles and they landed off target, and you rolled an 8 on the d20, then they would arrive off target by 40 miles. If you had sent them only 20 miles, they could not be more than 10 miles off target. The GM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. If you were teleporting someone to a coastal city and they wound up 20 miles out at sea, they could be in trouble.
  • Similar. Your target creature or object winds up in a different area that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area. If you are sending someone to your home laboratory, for example, they might wind up in another wizard’s laboratory or in an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same tools and implements as your laboratory. Generally, the creature or object appears in the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, they could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane.
  • Mishap. The spell’s unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. The teleporting creature or object takes 2d12 force damage, and the GM rerolls on the table to see where you wind up. (Multiple mishaps can occur, dealing damage each time.)

Moonlight Sending

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: an offering of gemstones, incense, and oils worth at least 400 gp, which the spell consumes, set afire in an alabaster bowl
Duration: Instant
You exhort a fiend to attack a distant foe. After the offering is made, make a spell attack roll to determine which fiend is summoned:
d20ResultCR
1-4 Sending fails -
5-8 Wind Demon, or Quasit 1-2
9-12 Rattok Demon, or Bearded Devil 3-4
13-16 Lesser Lunar Devil, or Vrock 4-6
17-20 Lunar Devil, or Hezrou 8
21+ Alnaar, or Horned Devil 9-11
Once summoned, you must compel the fiend to seek out a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you by making a DC 10 Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, the fiend slinks off to its target, usually but not always by night. On a failure, the fiend refuses, and the offering and the bowl are consumed in the casting.   The conjured fiend may find that the target is warded or inaccessible or simply difficult to find (whether because of invisibility or some other reason). In this case, you must make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, the fiend returns and demands no further offering, reports its failure, and vanishes. On a failure, the fiend returns and demands another offering. If this is not immediately forthcoming, it attacks you.

On a failed save, a creature takes 3d10 bludgeoning damage and is pushed up to half the length of the line in a direction following the line, knocked prone, and buried under the mud. On a successful save, a creature takes half the damage and isn’t pushed, knocked prone, or buried. A buried creature is restrained and unable to breathe or stand up. A buried creature, or a creature within reach of a buried creature, can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, the buried creature is no longer buried.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the line’s length increases by 5 feet and the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.

Range/Area: 10ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a silver latch or key worth 100 gp, which the spell consumes
Duration: 24 hours
Damage/Effect: Liminal
You conjure a portal or doorway that links an unoccupied space you can see within range to a precise location in the mortal or fey realms—such as Midgard, the Shadow Realm, or the Summer Lands—that you have stood. The portal is a semicircular opening, which you can make 5 to 20 feet in diameter—it is often cast under a bridge, archway, or even under roots or branches of a large tree. You can orient the portal in any direction you choose. It has a front and a back on each plane where it appears. Travel through the portal is possible only by moving through its front. Anything that does so is instantly transported to the other plane, appearing in the unoccupied space nearest to the portal. The portal lasts for the duration.   Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals created by this spell from opening in their presence or anywhere within their domains.
At higher levels: If cast using a 5th-level or higher spell slot, you may make the portal last for 1 week after you create it. If cast using a 6th-level or higher spell slot, the shadow doorway is permanent until dispelled with a Radiant Beacon or Wish spell.

Tentacles erupt from the rift and fly toward up to three creatures you can see within 20 feet of the rift. Each creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the tentacles until the spell ends.

Watery Sphere

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft. (5 ft. sphere)
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a droplet of water
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Attack/Save: STR Save
Damage/Effect: Restrained
You conjure up a sphere of water with a 5-foot radius at a point you can see within range. The sphere can hover but no more than 10 feet off the ground. The sphere remains for the spell’s duration.   Any creature in the sphere’s space must make a Strength saving throw. On a successful save, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space of the creature’s choice outside the sphere. A Huge or larger creature succeeds on the saving throw automatically, and a Large or smaller creature can choose to fail it. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the sphere and is engulfed by the water. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.   The sphere can restrain as many as four Medium or smaller creatures or one Large creature. If the sphere restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.   As an action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet in a straight line. If it moves over a pit, a cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it is hovering 10 feet above the ground. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw.   When the spell ends, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 30 feet of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls. The water then vanishes.

Divination

By the Light of the Watchful Moon

4-level Divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Attack/Save: CHA Save
Damage/Effect: Control
Regardless of the time of day or your location, you command the watchful gaze of the moon to illuminate threats to you and your allies. Shafts of bright moonlight, each 5 feet wide, shine down from the sky (or from the ceiling if you are indoors), illuminating all spaces within range that contain threats, whether they are enemies, traps, or hidden hazards. An enemy creature that makes a successful Charisma saving throw resists the effect and is not picked out by the moon’s glow. The glow does not make invisible creatures visible, but it does indicate an invisible creature’s general location (somewhere within the 5-foot beam). The light continues to illuminate any target that moves, but a target that moves out of the spell’s area is no longer illuminated. A threat that enters the area after the spell is cast is not subject to the spell’s effect.

Detect Secrets

4-level Divination

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a magnetic needle floating in a bowl of oil
Duration: Concentration, 10 minutes
For the duration, you sense the presence of secret doors, concealed traps, and areas hidden by magical or mundane covers within 30 feet of you. If you sense a secret in this way, you see a faint aura around the secret, such as an aura outlining a secret door, a glow highlighting a trapped flagstone, or a shimmering across the illusory wall that hides a passage beyond it.    A secret door or hidden area, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything purposefully hidden or concealed in some way by its creator. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, a mechanical pit trap, a leaf-covered pit, a door behind a hanging tapestry, or a door flush with a stone wall that is opened by a pressing a specific stone. The spell would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, an evil tome “hidden” in plain sight alongside other books, or a crystalline phylactery “hidden” in a display case with other crystals.    This spell merely reveals a secret’s presence and its location. You don’t learn the methods of opening, disarming, or otherwise bypassing or revealing the secret, but you do learn the general nature of the secret and, if it is a trap, the danger it poses.    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.

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Attack/Save: WIS Save
Damage/Effect: Charmed
You attempt to beguile a beast that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.   While the beast is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.   You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.   Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the spell ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell with a 5th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. When you use a 6th-level spell slot, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, it can make a Wisdom saving throw, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success.    Until this spell ends, each creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of you has disadvantage on death saving throws and on Constitution saving throws against disease and necrotic damage.

Doom of Serpent Coils

4-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a vial of poison
Duration: Instant
Damage/Effect: Poison
You drink a dose of venom or other poison and spread the effect to other living things around you. If the poison normally allows a saving throw, your save automatically fails. You suffer the effect of the poison normally before spreading the poison to all other living creatures within 10 feet of you. Instead of making the usual saving throw against the poison, each creature around you makes a Constitution saving throw against the spell. On a successful save, a target suffers no damage or other effect from the poison and is immune to further castings of doom of serpent coils for 24 hours.   On a failed save, a target doesn't suffer the poison’s usual effect; instead, it takes 4d6 poison damage and is poisoned. While poisoned in this way, a creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a subsequent failed save, it takes 4d6 poison damage and is still poisoned. On a subsequent successful save, it is no longer poisoned and is immune to further castings of doom of serpent coils for 24 hours. Multiple castings of this spell have no additional effect on creatures that are already poisoned by it. The effect can be ended by Protection from Poison or comparable magic.

You can’t use any of the target’s abilities except for nonmagical movement and darkvision.

Materials: a caterpillar cocoon
Duration: Concentration, 1 hour

Damage/Effect: Control, Shapechanging
This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.   The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality.   The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.   The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.   The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

You can use your movement to leave the shadow, exiting into an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the shadow and ending the spell. You otherwise can’t move.    If the shadow is destroyed, such as from a source of bright light, the spell ends, you are expelled, emerging prone in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of where the shadow was located, and take 6d6 radiant damage.    If you willingly exit the shadow, you have advantage on the first attack roll you make before the start of your next turn, and if you hit a creature with that attack, the attack deals an extra 3d8 necrotic damage to the target.

It will not willingly let the wealth out of its sight. If the target sees an opportunity, it will take the valuables it has fixated on, gaining them by whatever means necessary. If doing so provokes a situation where it takes damage or is otherwise harmed, the affected creature can make another Wisdom saving throw to end the effect. If the creature fails the save, it will continue to try to acquire the wealth, fighting back if necessary.    Ending the Effect. If the affected creature ends its turn in an area where it cannot see any obviously valuable objects to covet, nor any creatures that might conceivably attempt to take its own property (a horse, for example, would not be considered such a creature), then it can make another Wisdom saving throw. A successful save ends the spell, and the creature recognizes its feelings of greed as magically induced.

For dragons, this act often takes the form of attacking a foe’s armor and scales, as a way of weakening an enemy dragon and leaving it plagued by self-doubt and fear. (This enchantment is useful against any armored creature, not just dragons.)    One creature of your choice within range that has natural armor must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, attacks against that creature’s Armor Class are made with advantage, and the creature can’t regain hit points through any means while the spell remains in effect. An affected creature can end the spell by making a successful Constitution saving throw, which also makes the creature immune to further castings of scale rot for 24 hours.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the number of affected targets increases by one for each slot level above 4th.

Shadowy Retribution

4-level Necromancy

Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a small silver cup filled with the caster's blood
Duration: 12 hour
Damage/Effect: Utility
You fill a small silver cup with your own blood (taking 1d4 piercing damage) while chanting vile curses in the dark. Once the chant is completed, you consume the blood and swear an oath of vengeance against any who harm you. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, your oath is invoked; a Shadow materializes within 5 feet of you. The Shadow attacks the creature that reduced you to 0 hit points, ignoring all other targets, until it or the target is slain, at which point the Shadow dissipates into nothing.   Group Spellcasting. When other spellcasters aid you in casting this spell, an additional Shadow is conjured for each spellcaster other than yourself, up to a maximum of 6 shadows when you are reduced to 0 hit points.   Ritual Focus. If you expend your ritual focus, the spell summons a Banshee instead of a Shadow. If you use group spellcasting, the additional undead are still Shadow.

Each creature that starts its turn in that area takes 5d8 fire damage, or half the damage with a successful Constitution saving throw.

Labyrinth Mastery

4-level Divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: a piece of blank parchment
Duration: Concentration, 1 hour
Damage/Effect: Buff
Upon casting this spell, you immediately gain a sense of your surroundings. If you are in a physical maze or any similar structure with multiple paths and dead ends, this spell guides you to the nearest exit, although not necessarily along the fastest or shortest route. In addition, while the spell is guiding you out of such a structure, you have advantage on ability checks to avoid being surprised and on initiative rolls.    You gain a perfect memory of all portions of the structure you move through during the spell’s duration. If you revisit such a portion, you recognize that you’ve been there before and automatically notice any changes to the environment. Also, while under the effect of this spell, you can exit any maze spell (and its lesser and greater varieties) as an action without needing to make an Intelligence check.

A bleeding creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage at the end of each of its turns for 1 minute. A creature can stop the bleeding for itself or another creature by using an action to make a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC or by applying any amount of magical healing.

Shadow Step

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Damage/Effect: Teleportation
You can open a temporary portal between two darkened areas, allowing you to move from one such area to another without crossing the intervening space. If you start your turn in an area of dim light or darkness, you can open a portal to another area of dim light or darkness within range and transport yourself to that spot. Doing this uses up your movement for the turn, regardless of the distance traveled. You can use shadow step while prone. Moving in this manner does not draw opportunity attacks.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard with Shadow Specialization

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

You choose up to two creatures within range. Each creature must make a Wisdom saving throw.

An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard with Shadow Specialization

Deep Magic Volume 1

Hide in One's Shadow

4-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: Somatic, Material
Materials: charcoal
Duration: 3 hours
Damage/Effect: Buff
When you touch a willing creature with a piece of charcoal while casting this spell, the target and everything it carries blends into and becomes part of the target’s shadow, which remains discernible, although its body seems to disappear. The shadow is incorporeal, has no weight, and is immune to all but psychic and radiant damage. The target remains aware of its surroundings and can move, but only as a shadow could move—flowing along surfaces as if the creature were moving normally. The creature can step out of the shadow at will, resuming its physical shape in the shadow’s space and ending the spell.    This spell cannot be cast in an area devoid of light, where a shadow would not normally appear. Even a faint light source, such as moonlight or starlight, is sufficient. If that light source is removed, or if the shadow is flooded with light in such a way that the physical creature wouldn’t cast a shadow, the spell ends and the creature reappears in the shadow’s space.
Available for: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard with Shadow Specialization

Temporal Magic

Deep Magic Volume 1

Scry Ambush

4-level Divination

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when an enemy tries to make a surprise attack against you
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instant
Damage/Effect: Control
You foresee your foe’s strike a split second before it occurs. When you cast this spell successfully, you also designate a number of your allies that can see or hear you equal to your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus. Those allies are also not surprised by the attack and can act normally in the first round of combat. If you would be surprised, you must make a check using your spellcasting ability at the moment your reaction would be triggered. The check DC is equal to the current initiative count. On a failed check, you are surprised and can’t use your reaction to cast this spell until after your next turn. On a successful check, you can use your reaction to cast this spell immediately.
Available for: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard with Temporal Specialization

Deep Magic Volume 1

Time Vortex

4-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 90ft.
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
Attack/Save: WIS Save
Damage/Effect: Debuff
This spell destabilizes the flow of time, enabling you to create a vortex of temporal fluctuations that are visible as a spherical distortion with a 10-foot radius, centered on a point within range. Each creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the time vortex. While the spell lasts, a creature that enters the sphere or starts its turn inside the sphere must also succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected. On a succesful save, it becomes immune to this casting of the spell.    An affected creature can’t take reactions and rolls a d10 at the start of its turn to determine its behavior for that turn.
d10
Behavior
1-2The creature is affected as if by a slow spell until the start of its next turn.
3-5The creature is stunned until the start of its next turn.
6-8The creature's current initiative result is reduced by 5. The creature begins using this new initiative result in the next round. Multiple occurrences of this effect for the same creature are cumulative.
9-10The creature's speed is halved (round up to the nearest 5-foot increment) until the start of its next turn.
You can move the temporal vortex 10 feet each round as a bonus action. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.
