1st-level abjuration

Warding an area with an alarm spell gives you a

mental or audible warning when an intruder

draws near.

Requirement: You must cast the spell using a

small silver bell as a focus, worth no less than 1 gp.

Effect: You ward an area no larger than a 20-

foot-radius sphere centered on yourself. The spell

alerts you with an audible or mental alarm of your

choice when a creature enters the area, but only if

that creature is at least Tiny and is not ethereal.

You can also choose a password that, when spoken

aloud, lets a creature enter the area without

triggering the spell. The area remains warded for 8

hours.

If you chose a mental alarm, you experience a

mental alert that immediately wakes you from

nonmagical sleep. If you chose an audible alarm,

the spell sounds a loud ringing that lasts for 1

round and automatically wakes any creatures

sleeping nonmagically within 60 feet of the

warded area’s center.

Ritual: You can cast this spell as a ritual by

spending at least 10 minutes preparing additional

material components that include chalk, extra

bells, and a silver cord, all worth no less than 25

gp.

1st-level divination

The world is home to countless languages and

dialects, tongues that are beyond counting and

whose meaning is lost on even the most erudite

scholars. Comprehend languages makes the

incomprehensible comprehensible.

Effect: For 1 hour, you understand the literal

meaning of spoken language you hear and of

written language as long as you are touching the

surface on which the words are written. It takes

about 1 minute to read one page of text (about 250

words).

This spell does not decipher codes or reveal

messages concealed in otherwise normal text.

Certain magical wards might foil this spell by

concealing text, trapping it, or making the text

nonsensical.

Ritual: You can cast this spell as a ritual by

spending at least 10 minutes preparing additional

material components worth no less than 25 gp.

1st-level evocation

As you hold your hands with your thumbs touching

and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots

forth from your outstretched fingertips.

Effect: Each creature in a 15-foot cone

originating from you makes a Dexterity saving

throw. A creature takes 4d4 fire damage on a

failed save, and half as much damage on a

successful one.

The spell ignites unattended flammable objects

in the area.

1st-level conjuration

You create an invisible, mobile disk of force that

hovers near you to intercept attacks.

Effect: For 10 minutes, you have half cover and

take no damage from magic missile.

1st-level enchantment

The fine sand you fling into the air sparkles when

this spell’s magic takes hold. Creatures touched by

the scintillating granules grow drowsy and might

fall asleep.

Effect: Choose a point that you can see within

100 feet of you and roll 3d8. The total is how many

hit points’ worth of creatures this spell can affect

within 20 feet of the point you chose.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest

current hit points, each creature affected by this

spell falls unconscious for 1 minute or until it takes

damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap

the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit

points from the total before moving on to the

creature with the next lowest hit points. A

creature’s hit points must be no more than the

remaining total for that creature to be affected.

Minor divination

Upon casting detect magic, you immediately

perceive any objects, areas, or creatures affected or

created by magic as having a flickering aura.

Studying the auras can give you clues to the nature

of the magic.

Effect: You detect the presence of any magic in

a 30-foot cone originating from you. You can ignore the

presence of magic that you are already

aware of. If the magic you sense belongs to a school

of magic, you learn what that school is.

This spell does not reveal invisible creatures or

magic that conceals spells, objects, or creatures.

Minor evocation

A spell made famous by wizards for its reliability,

magic missile unerringly strikes its target.

Effect: Choose a creature within 100 feet of you.

The target takes 1d4 + 1 force damage.

Minor evocation

You cause an object you touch to shine with light

for a time.

Effect: You touch an object. It sheds bright light

in a 20-foot-radius sphere and shadows in a 40-

foot-radius sphere. The light may be colored as you

choose. The light lasts for 1 hour or until you cast

this spell again.

Minor evocation

You fire a pale beam of blue-white energy that

chills your enemy to the bone.

Effect: Make a magical attack against one

creature within 100 feet of you. On a hit, the target

takes 1d6 + 3 cold damage, and its speed drops by

10 feet until the end of your next turn.

Minor conjuration

The spectral hand you create with mage hand can

manipulate objects, open doors, and carry small

items for you. Many wizards use mage hand to

retrieve components from their pouches while

keeping their hands free.

Effect: A spectral, floating hand appears at a

point you choose within 50 feet of you. The hand

remains for 1 minute or until you cast this spell

again. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 50

feet away from you.

While the hand is present, you can control it as

an action. You can use the hand to manipulate an

object, open a door or a container, stow or retrieve

an item from an open container, or pour the

contents from a vial. You can move the hand up to

30 feet each time you use it.

The hand cannot attack, use magic items, or

carry more than 10 pounds.

Minor illusion

You can create a sound as quiet as a ghostly

whisper or as loud as someone screaming in terror.

Effect: You create a sound within 100 feet of

you. The sound lasts until your next turn. You can

produce as much noise as about a dozen humans

talking normally or one human screaming loudly.

You determine whether the sound rises, falls,

recedes, approaches, or remains in a fixed place

while it lasts, and whether it changes character.

You can use this spell to produce intelligible

speech.
