If you cast magic missile targeting a creature with one of these runes, you can destroy one rune to gain a +4 bonus on the damage roll of one dart. You can destroy any number of runes to affect the same number of darts.

Duration: Concentration, Up To 1 Hour
Components: V, S
Description: This spell makes your eyes glow blue and allows you to see magical auras within 120 feet of you. These magical auras surround magic items and other sources or conduits of magic such as other spellcasters.
You know the location and power of all magical auras within your range of this spell. An aura's power depends on a spell's level or the effect that the magic item produces (the rarer the item, the stronger the aura produced). If an item or creature bearing an aura is within 120 feet of you, you know the school of magic involved in each object and the maximum spell slot level the item or creature can produce.
If you focus on an object, you can determine what that object can do as per the identify spell. If you focus on a creature, you can determine if that creature has a spellcasting feature such as a lich or other magical abilities such as a quasit's ability to turn invisible. To do so, you must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) skill check with a DC of 10 + the following depending on the object's rarity: +2 for a common item, +4 for an uncommon item, +6 for a rare item, +8 for a very rare item, +10 for a legendary item and +15 for artifacts. For a creature, the DC is equal to 10 + the creature's highest level spell slot or the creature's CR; whichever is higher. Any creature with a CR of less than 1 is treated as having a CR of 0 when determining the DC of the Arcana skill check.
Arcane sight can be made permanent with a permanency spell |

Write a spell for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game. | Name: Arctic Tempest
Level: 9
School: Conjuration
Classes: Druid
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: Sight
Duration: Concentration, Up To 1 Minute
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: A blown glass orb filled with oil and chips of porcelain
Description: You summon the great power of the arctic storms, freezing
and burying your enemies. Cold, grey clouds gather around a
point you can see, spreading out to radius of 300 feet.
Howling cold, biting winds and freezing gales pound
everything in the radius. Each round you concentrate on the
storm it intensifies until it ends. The effects of the storm are
cumulative, so that each round a creature in the storm suffers
all effects from the previous rounds as well. If a creature starts
its turn in the spell's area and is concentrating on a spell, the
creature must make a successful Concentration check against
your spell save DC or lose concentration.
Round 1 Blasts of howling cold fill the area, chilling creatures
to the bone and hampering movement. Creatures entering the
spells area for the first time, or starting their turn in the spells
area and not inside an appropriate shelter must make a
Constitution saving throw. If it fails, the creature takes
3d6 cold damage, and that creature becomes impeded by the
wind and its speed is reduced to half. A creature must make a new saving throw at the start of their turn if they succeeded the previous one, and will only be fully safe outside of the spell's radius.
Round 2 Darkness descends as the clouds cover the sky and
the intense precipitation begins to fall. The entire area of the
spell becomes dark, and walking is even more difficult, since the storm is intensifying everyone in the storm's area walks 5 feet less. In addition to the conditions above, if the
creature fails its Constitution saving throw for starting or entering the
spells area for the first time, or has already failed, they become
deafened until they leave the spell's area, due to the winds getting stronger. Talking right next to someone's ear, may or may not be heard, and it is up to the DM how to rule this situation.
Round 3-7 Snow begins to fall at a tremendous rate, covering
everything in a thick, wet blanket. 1 inch of snow accumulates per
round. In addition to the effects above, if a creature fails the
saving throw, or has already failed, they become paralyzed, covered in a layer of ice.

Write a spell for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game. | Name: Ascertain Inventory
Level: 3
School: Divination (Ritual)
Classes: Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, Wizard
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
Components: S, M
Material cost: A piece of paper or parchment, a quill of owl-feather, and a glass lens
Description: You momentarily project a 30-foot cone in one direction, in which you target each non-magical container (such as a barrel or chest) which you are aware of. This spell is halted by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of a common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
Any nonmagical, non-living receptacle which contains separate objects (which are not integral components to said holding item) can be considered a container. This means that a barrel (which might hold a separable liquid) is considered a container, whereas a clock (which requires its component gears to function) is not.
You immediately become aware of the generalities of every item held within the container, as well as the quantity of each type of item therein. For example, if there are 6 potions of healing and one potion of bull's strength, you would simply ascertain that there are 7 potions in the container without determining their properties.
If an item in the container is magical, you can detect the presence of magic but cannot distinguish which items are magical. You also are unable to ascertain the specifics of the magical effect, though you can determine if it has a related school and which school that is. If multiple spell schools are present, you only ascertain the one with the most powerful aura.
If there are containers within the container you are targeting, you become aware of these sub-containers but not their contents.
Any information discovered through this spell appears as writing on the component piece of parchment. The writing disappears after 1 minute. |

Components: V, S, M

Description: In a bid to expand their sinister dominion, the necromancer Ashallians devised this spell. By channeling life force into an obsidian seed, a tower of dark enchantments arises from the earth.
The tower crafted by this spell harnesses life force to sprout an obsidian tower. Initially a two-story structure, its 15x15x10 feet floors can be arranged in diverse configurations:
Upon casting, a tower materializes with two floors, connected by a central spiral staircase. Each level can take various forms:
A bedroom with a bed, chairs, chest, and a magical fireplace.
A study with desks, books, bookshelves, parchments, ink, and ink pens.
A dining space with a table, chairs, magical fireplace, containers, and cooking utensils.
A lounge with couches, armchairs, side tables, and footstools.
A washroom with toilets, washtubs, a magical brazier, and sauna benches.
An observatory equipped with a telescope and celestial maps.
An unfurnished, empty room.
A prison chamber to hold captives for future sacrifices.
The tower's apex always serves as a sacrificial altar.
For each level, the tower's influence expands tenfold. Any creature slain within this area contributes to sustaining the tower. Undead under the necromancer's control within this area require no recasting of "animate dead" to maintain control.
Higher-Level Casting:**
When recast with a new sacrificial creature, the spell's duration can be increased. Additionally, for every two Challenge Rating levels above 2, an extra floor can be added to the tower. Multiple sacrifices can be combined to meet a specified quota.
Tower Wall Statistics:**
- **Wall HP:** 100 hit points times the number of floors above it (e.g., first floor walls have 200 HP, second floor walls have 100 HP).
- **Damage Reduction:** 20 points against all types of damage.
- **Repair:** Walls can be repaired using new sacrifices. Repairing costs 10 hit points per Challenge Rating of the sacrificed creatures. |

Range: Touch
Duration: 8 Hours
Components: S, M
Material cost: a wooden doll or puppet
Description: You reach into a creature's soul and latch onto it to know the creature's secrets, reading its very essence for truth. As an action, you touch a creature and force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. If the target succeeds, the spell fails and they become immune to the effects of this spell for 24 hours. If the target fails, you latch into the target's soul and are now capable of learning the creature's secrets.
As a bonus action, while the spell is active, you may ask the creature's soul a yes or no question in order to gain a benefit. Once you have asked your question, you will hear an answer from your target's soul in the form of either "YES YES YES YES YES YES" or "NO NO NO NO NO NO". The answer will be the absolute truth, however it will be limited to the target's own information. Some examples are provided below:
You ask the creature's soul if it intends to attack you or a specific ally. If it answers yes, the creature has disadvantage on its attack roll.
You ask the creature's soul if it's hiding something. If it answers yes, you gain advantage on any skill check you make to search the creature and the surrounding area for what it is hiding.
You ask the creature's soul a yes or no question such as "Are you cheating?" or "Do you know the killer?" You learn the creature's soul's answer and may use this knowledge how you see fit.
If the target does not know any information related to your question or if you ask a question that doesn't have a yes or no answer, then the soul will remain silent and you will hear nothing. The target is unaware of the spell and that you are prying information out of it. This spell and its effects do not work against creatures without souls such as constructs or undead. You may end the spell by dismissing its effects as a bonus action.

Description: You send a protective barrier around a willing creature within range. The barrier has 8d8 hit points. Any time the targeted creature would take damage, the barrier takes damage instead. While the barrier has more than 0 hit points, the targeted creature has a +1 bonus to armor class. If the damage reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, the creature takes the remaining damage and the spell ends.
The spell ends if you cast this spell on another creature while your barrier’s hit points still remain. |

Level: 9
School: Enchantment
Classes: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Warlock
Casting time: 1 Minute
Range: 150 Feet
Duration: Concentration, Up To 1 Minute
Components: V, S, M
Material cost: A fresh humanoid heart and at least 1,000 lbs of fresh meat, which the kraken consumes
Description: When this spell is cast, target a point within range that is submerged within a body of water. The spell fails if this point cannot be reached by any living kraken through the means of swimming. The spell's material components cannot be supplied by a component pouch.
During the casting time of this spell, a kraken is beckoned to come to your aid, with the lure of a large bounty of flesh. It travels to the point designated, and consumes the material component.
The kraken is friendly to you and your companions. For the duration of the spell, it will attack all other creatures to the best of its ability.
When the spell ends, the kraken will leave the area, and mysteriously vanish into the deep blue sea.
The spell ends at the end of the duration, or when the kraken takes damage.
If concentration on the spell is broken before the end of the duration, the kraken will instead become hostile to you and your companions rather than leaving the area.
If this spell is cast from a spell scroll, the scroll transforms into the material component as part of the casting. |
