In actuality, this spell has the effects of a Greater Invisibility spell. You and another creature you designate bec🃏ome invisible for one minute, as long as you maintain concentration. When you cast this spell at higher levels, you may apply this effect to another creature of your choice. This spell is great for buying yourself a little extra time in combat, where enemies are likely not to be looking for you, given that it appears like you've teleported away.

This spell puts a spin on the classic spell Revivify. Unlike Revivify, it has no material components, but the spell is ul♐timately much weaker. When you touch a creature that has died within the last minute, you revive them with one Hit Point. However, they only come back for one minute, as long as you maintain concentration. At the end of one minute, they die again, after which a more powerful Resurrection spell must be used.

This spell is great for two reasons. One, you can use it to temporarily gain your ally back on the field for a brief moment, potentially turning the tide of combat. Second, it adds fun stakes and flavor to a high-level campaign. Yes, you brought your ally back temporarily, but now you must seek out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more powerful resurrection magic if you wish to have them back permanently.

This spell allows you to redirect the damage of your enemies, converting it into force damage. Whenever you are targeted by the effects of physi🅰cal damage like bludgeoning, force, piercing, or slashing, you can use your reaction to cast this spell. When you do so, your attacker must make a Constitution save against your spell save DC.

If they fail, you split the damage between yourself and their attack, redirecting half of it back at them as forc🌌e damage and pushi꧋ng them back ten feet. If they succeed, you take the damage as normal. This is a great spell for hedging your bets and keeping yourself alive in a pinch.

When you cast this spell as an action, you can temporarily lend the powers of one spell you know of seventh level or lower to any other creature you can see within 60 feet of you. Even if the spell is lower than seventh-level, you must still expend a seventh-level spell slot. When you do this, you name the spell you wish to lend and the creature you wish⛎ to grant it to. The player must then use the spell, using your spellcasting stats, on their next turn as their action.

This spell can prove extremely powerful if your DM allows it. However, it's relatively balanced given the fact that the player must use the spell on th🐷eir next turn, or lose its ab💮ilities. Plus, even if you want to lend them a bonus action spell, they must expend an action, as will you. But you can find plenty of creative ways to use this spell to turn combat in your favor.

When you cast this spell by using your action, you conjure a flurry of snow that surrounds you within a ten-foot sphere. The area around you for ten feet is cons♏idered difficult terrain, meaning all creatures moving in this area move at half speed. The snow also piles up to five feet high, granting you half cover should yoꦦu choose to hide behind it.

This spell borrows from several elemental spells. One great way to homebrew spells for yo🔯urself is to take pre-existing spells and spell effects and combine them or tweak them to suit your character concept or needs.

By using your action, you may attempt to magically 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:summon an NPC your party is allied with. They must be on the same plane of existence as yo🐼u. When you cast this spell, you must have an item of theirs or another object of significance to them to establish the connection.

Depending on your DM's ruling, this spell could prove absolutely broken, especially if you manage to s𓆉ummon an extremely powerful ally. Adding another high-level wizard to the party could turn the tide of combat starkly in your favor.
