View source for Flavor Spells

Flavor spells may be used to enhance your roleplay and give it flavor. You may not use a flavor spell to provide yourself a mechanical advantage in any fashion, in particular in relation to PvP. To be affected by a flavor spell is based on consent, you cannot force the effects of a flavor spell on another player. You should not roleplay using multiple flavor spells that require concentration. Be mindful of component requirements, range, and duration when casting flavor spells. Your use of flavor spells in roleplay should be limited to their spell description on this wiki. For reference, a tile is considered to be around 5ft. 

=== Continual Flame ===

* Range: Touch
* Components: V, S, M
* Duration: Until dispelled

A flame, equivalent in brightness to a torch, springs forth from an object that you touch. The effect looks like a regular flame, but it creates no heat and doesn’t use oxygen. A continual flame can be covered or hidden but not smothered or quenched.

=== Control Flames ===

* Range: 60 feet
* Components: S
* Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour

You choose an existing non-magical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways:

*     You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube.
*     You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour.
*     You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour or until dismissed.

=== Create Water ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a drop of water if creating water or a few grains of sand if destroying it)
* Duration: Instantaneous

You either create or destroy water.

Create Water. You create up to 2 litres of clean water within range in an open container. Alternatively, the water falls as rain in a 5-foot cube within range, extinguishing exposed flames in the area.
=== Dancing Lights ===

* Range: 120 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a bit of phosphorus or wychwood, or a glowworm)
* Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration. You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.

=== Druidcraft ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: V, S
* Duration: Instantaneous

Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range:

*     You create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round.
*     You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom.
*     You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube.
*     You instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.

=== Illusory Script ===

* Range: Touch
* Components: S, M (a lead-based ink worth at least 10 gp, which the spell consumes)
* Duration: 10 days

You write on parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material and imbue it with a potent illusion that lasts for the duration.

To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it were written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know.

Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear.

=== Levitate ===

* Range: 60 feet
* Components: V, S, M
* Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

One creature or loose object of your choice that you can see within range rises vertically, up to 5 feet from the original point of casting, and remains suspended there for the duration. The spell can levitate a target that weighs up to 500 pounds. An unwilling creature cannot be affected. 

The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach. The affected creature cannot freely move around without such leverage. The effect can be dismissed at any time by the affected creature to safely float back down. If the affected creature inadvertently finds themselves more than 5 feet of the ground after being displaced, the creature will fall and the levitation spell will not cushion their fall. 

=== Light ===

* Range: Touch
* Components: V, M (a firefly or phosphorescent moss)
* Duration: 1 hour

You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.

=== Mage Hand ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: V, S
* Duration: 1 minute

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand for things such as manipulating an object, opening an unlocked door or container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents out of a vial or bottle. You can move the hand up to 30 feet away from your location.

The hand can’t attack, activate magical items, or carry more than 10 pounds.

=== Major Image ===

* Range: 120 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
* Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can’t create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature.

While the image can be animated, the image itself cannot change location. Specifically it cannot move along with your character. If you leave the range of the image it disappears. 

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.

=== Mending ===

* Range: Touch
* Components: V, S, M (two lodestones)
* Duration: Instantaneous

This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 0.5 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.

This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.

=== Minor Illusion ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
* Duration: 1 minute

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

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-foot cube. 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 uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

=== Mold Earth ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: S
* Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour

You choose a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:

*     If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate it, move it along the ground, and deposit it up to 5 feet away. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
*     You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.

=== Plant Growth ===

* Range: 150 feet
* Components: V, S
* Duration: Instantaneous

=== Prestidigitation ===

* Range: 10 feet
* Components: V, S
* Duration: Up to 1 hour

*     You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
*     You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
*     You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
*     You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.

* Range: 10 feet
* Components: V, S
* Duration: Instantaneous

All nonmagical food and drink within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range is purified and rendered free of poison and disease. The spell cannot undo the natural rotting process of food.

=== Shape Water ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: S
* Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour

You choose an area of water that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:

*     You instantaneously move or otherwise change the flow of the water as you direct, up to 5 feet in any direction. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
*     You cause the water to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. This change lasts for 1 hour.
*     You change the water’s color or opacity. The water must be changed in the same way throughout. This change lasts for 1 hour.
*     You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour.

=== Silent Image ===

* Range: 60 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
* Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. 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.

While the image can be animated, the image itself cannot change location. Specifically it cannot move along with your character. If you leave the range of the image it disappears. 

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

=== Thaumaturgy ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: V
* Duration: Up to 1 minute

You manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within range. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

*     Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal for 1 minute.
*     You cause flames to flicker, brighten, dim, or change color for 1 minute.
*     You cause harmless tremors in the ground for 1 minute.
*     You create an instantaneous sound that originates from a point of your choice within range, such as a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, or ominous whispers.
*     You instantaneously cause an unlocked door or window to fly open or slam shut.

=== Tenser's Floating Disk ===

* Range: 30 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a drop of mercury)
* 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 500 pounds. If more weight 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 15 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 15 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 5 feet or more. For example, the disk can’t move across a 5-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it were created at the bottom.

If you move more than 50 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.

A creature cannot stand on the disk, directly or indirectly, and the disk cannot be moved in any other way than described above.

=== Unseen Servant ===

* Range: 60 feet
* Components: V, S, M (a piece of string and a bit of wood)
* 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. 

You can mentally command the servant to move up 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. The servant cannot damage other entities.
