Sculpt Nature in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Sculpt Nature
0-level (Cantrip) Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range/Area: 30ft
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour
You choose a portion of dirt, stone, or loose foliage 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 or foliage, 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, stone, or foliage, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.
- If the area you target is on the ground, you cause it to become difficult terrain. Alternatively, you can cause the ground to become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain. While it has been changed to difficult terrain this way, all creatures passing through it must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage. This change lasts for 1 hour.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
