Minor Illusion

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5 ft x 5 ft. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion because things can pass through it.

If a creature spends 6 Action Points to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a Awareness (Intelligence) – Investigation roll against your spell skill. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

Disguise Self

1st-circle illusion

Casting Time: 10 Action Points

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: Self

Components: V, G

Duration: 1 hour

You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you will bump into you while it is seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Awareness (Intelligence) – Investigation check against your Spell defense.

On a failure it takes 3d6 psychic damage and must use its next action, if available, to move as far as its movement allows away from you. The creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a success, the target takes half as much damage and doesn't have to move away. A deafened creature automatically succeeds on the roll.

When you cast the spell at a higher circle, the damage increases by 2d6 for each circle above the first.

A dart deals 1d4 + 1 damage (your choice between bludgeoning or piercing) to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several.

When you cast the spell at a higher circle, the spell creates two additional darts for each circle above the first.

Magnify Gravity

1st-circle manifestation

Casting Time: 8 Action Points

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, G

Duration: 1 round

The gravity in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within range increases for a moment. Each creature in the sphere on the turn when you cast the spell must make a Body (Strength) defense roll. On a failure, a creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage, and its movement is halved until the end of its next turn. Otherwise, a creature takes half as much damage and suffers no reduction to its movement.

Until the start of your next turn, any object that isn't being worn or carried in the sphere requires a successful Strength roll against your spell defense to pick up or move.

When you cast the spell at a higher circle, the damage increases by 2d8 for each circle above the first.

Ray of Sickness

1st-circle emanation

Casting Time: 8 Action Points

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, G

Duration: Instantaneous

A ray of sickening greenish energy lashes out toward a creature within range. Make a spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 necrotic damage and must make a Body (Endurance) defense roll. On a failure, it is also poisoned until the end of your next turn.

When you cast the spell at a higher circle, the damage increases by 2d8 for each circle above the first.

Shield

1st-circle warding

Casting Time: 3 Action Points, which you take when you are hit by an attack

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: Self

Components: V, G, M

Duration: Instantaneous

An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to your Passive Defense, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from arcane-sourced physical damage (bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing).

Silent Image

1st-circle illusion

Casting Time: 10 Action Points

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, G, M

Duration: Concentration

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot sphere. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.

You can use your action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion because things can pass through it. A creature that spends 6 Action Points to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Awareness (Intelligence) – Investigation check against your Spell defense. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Thunderwave

1st-circle emanation

Casting Time: 8 Action Points

Mana Cost: 2 mana

Range: 15-foot cone

Components: V, G

Duration: Instantaneous

A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cone originating from you must make a Body (Strength) defense roll. On a failure, a creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.

In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pushed 10 feet away from you by the spell's effect, and the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.

When you cast the spell at a higher circle, the damage increases by 2d8 for each circle above the first.

Unseen Servant

1st-circle convocation

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, G, M

Duration: 1 hour

This spell creates an invisible, mindless, shapeless, Medium force that performs simple tasks at your command until the spell ends. The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has a Passive Defense of 10, 1 health, and a Strength of -4, and it can't attack. If it drops to 0 health, the spell ends.

Once on each of your turns simple action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command.

If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.

Versatile Floating Disk

1st-circle manifestation

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, G, M

Duration: 1 hour

This spell creates a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk remains for the duration and can hold up to 100 capacity. If more is placed on it, the spell ends, and everything on the disk falls to the ground.

The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. It can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes, and the like, but it can't cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can't move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom.

If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can't move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.
