Level 5 Illusion (Bard, Cleric, Warlock, Wizard)

  • Casting Time: 1 Action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V
  • Duration: 1 hour

Choose a creature that you can see. You curse the target for the duration of the spell, causing an illusionary sword to hang above the creature’s head. Choose one of the following commands to shout out:

  • You cannot harm us. The target creature breaks this command if they target you or your Allies with an attack or a spell that causes damage.

  • You cannot use magic. The target creature breaks this condition if they cast a spell.

  • You cannot leave this area. The target creature breaks this condition if it moves more than 30 feet from the spot it was standing when the spell was cast.

If the creature acts contrary to your command, the sword becomes real, slices downward, and the creature makes a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it takes 10d8 Slashing damage and one of its heads is removed if it is reduced to 0 Hit Points by this spell, instantly killing it if it can’t survive without any heads. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage only.
