Range/Area: 20ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Damage/Effect: Weather

Blade of Blood and Bone

1-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a dagger or short sword, which is not consumed in the casting

Duration: 24 hours

Attack/Save: Melee

Damage/Effect: Slashing

When you cast this spell, you cut your body with the material component, your hit point maximum decreases by 3 and the material component disappears. For the duration, you can use a bonus action to draw a blade made of your own bone, blood, and sinew from your body. The blade is a magical weapon, uses your spell attack bonus when you attack with it, and deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. You are considered proficient with the blade. As a bonus action, you can slide the blade back into your body to conceal it. When the duration ends, the incision in your body disappears, your hit point maximum is restored, and the material component reappears.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd-level or higher, the damage dealt by the blade increases by 1d6 for every two slot levels above 2nd, and your hit point maximum decreases by an additional amount equal to the level of the slot used.

Doom of Poor Fortune

1-level Necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 30ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a dead clover

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

Attack/Save: CHA Save

Damage/Effect: Psychic

You turn luck against a creature of your choice within range. When the target makes an ability check, they must first make a Charisma saving throw or the check fails. This spell persists once cast, even if the target moves out of range. If cast with a higher-level slot, each subsequent effect is added to the effect noted above. If the target ultimately succeeds on the check (or saving throw or attack at higher levels), then you take 1 psychic damage. If you ever lose concentration on the spell, you take 1d4 psychic damage.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd-level or higher, when the target is required to make a saving throw, it must make a Charisma saving throw in place of the required one, unless the required one is more difficult to make. When you cast this spell with a 4th-level slot, when the target makes an attack roll, it must make a Charisma saving throw prior to making the attack. On a failed save, the attack fails. If you cast this spell with an 8th level slot, this spell persists for the duration without requiring concentration.

Range/Area: 60ft. (15 ft. sphere)

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: 1 hour

Damage/Effect: Fey

You summon a large volume of fireflies to illuminate a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration. A few of the fireflies will settle on hidden or invisible creatures, making them somewhat easier to find. Attack rolls against invisible creatures in the area are no longer made with disadvantage, though attack rolls made by invisible creatures are still made with advantage, for only their general position is clearer by firefly light, not their specific movements. All Hide actions taken in the area are made with disadvantage.

Gloaming

1-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: Verbal, Material

Materials: a piece of smoked glass

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

Magical gloom spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 50-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The fading twilight spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can see through this darkness, and any normal light can illuminate it. Ranged attacks made through the gloaming have disadvantage. If the point you choose is an object being worn or carried, the effect emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the gloaming with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness. If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or higher, the effect is dispelled.

Pratfall

1-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 60ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: Instant

You cause a small bit of bad luck to befall a creature, making it look humorously foolish. You create one of the following effects:

A small, oily puddle appears under the feet of your target, causing it to lose balance. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be unable to use bonus actions on its next turn as it regains its footing.
Tiny particles blow in your target’s face, causing it to sneeze. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage on its first attack roll on its next turn.
Strobing lights flash briefly before your target’s eyes, causing difficulties with its vision. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or its passive Perception is halved until the end of its next turn.
The target feels the sensation of a quick, mild clap against its ears, briefly disorienting it. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw to maintain its concentration.
An invisible force sharply tugs on the target’s trousers, causing their clothing to slip. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on its next attack roll with a two-handed weapon or loses its shield bonus to its AC until the end of its next turn as it uses one hand to gather itself.

Only one of these effects can be used on a single creature at a time.

Conjure Ferryman

2-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 90ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a couple of copper coins

Duration: Concentration, 1 hour

When standing on a riverbank or on the shore of some other body of water, you summon a ferry spirit and its boat, which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The spirit disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The spirit is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the creature, which has its own turns. It takes you and up to 1 companion per your level across the river or body of water (no action required by you) or to other locations along the same water. If you don’t issue any such commands, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. If your concentration is broken, the ferry and its guide don’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the conjured spirit, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled ferryman can’t be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. The GM has the ferry spirit’s statistics (using those for Lesser Lunar Devil or Bearded Devil).

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the boat can take you and your companions across a planar boundary into the Ethereal Plane and then exit on another body of water (and using a Barbed Devil). When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, it can traverse the River Styx between planes, taking you and your companions to distant parts of the multiverse (and using a Lunar Devil or Bone Devil).

Your target’s weapon rapidly corrodes. A creature of your choice within range that is holding a manufactured, nonmagical weapon in one of its hands must succeed on a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target must roll all weapon damage dice twice and take the lower result. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target’s weapon returns to its normal state. Otherwise, the weapon breaks down into a pile of rust or wood chips, as appropriate.

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Touch

Components: Verbal, Material

Materials: a tuft of bear fur

Duration: Special, 1 hour

Attack/Save: CON Save

Damage/Effect: Unconscious

You hum a soothing melody and discard a bit of bear fur, which induces a soporific healing state in the next creature you touch. The target regains 1d6 hp and sleeps for 10 minutes per each hit point regained. If the creature is unwilling, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or fall asleep for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on the target. Each creature affected by this spell falls until the spell ends, the hibernating creature takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the hibernating creature awake. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell.

At higher levels: If cast using 3rd-level or higher spell slot, you may touch one willing creature per level to induce hibernation.

Duration: Special

You bind shadow material into an enchanted fey road, fixing its path between two points so as to hold against ordinary weather and mundane alteration and to stretch and bend in shadow tides. This is called a shadow road, and it is subject to normal wear, to destruction by those with the tools to break it, and to magical destruction by hostile forces, such as by Dispel Magic. If you wish, the spell may include a prayer or offering that serves as a keyword. This secret of the road allows anyone who knows and uses it to add one or two effects to the road, such as faster travel on the road (up to double the overland speed usually permitted) or locking and unlocking the road’s portals outside of the Shadow Realm. Those who do not know the prayer, ritual, or offering cannot enter the road from outside of the Shadow Realm.

Once the door is conjured, you can take actions normally to open and pass through the near portal, which immediately teleports you to the distant portal. Other creatures may do the same while the spell remains. The spell ends after the duration or when someone closes the distant portal’s door as a bonus action.

At higher levels: If cast at 5th level, this spell can open the door to a shadow road. This may require additional somatic or material components specific to that road, and lacking those, the spell fails and is wasted.

If you target an unwilling creature, it gains a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell fails, and the caster appears in the target location instead. A transferred creature wakes up as soon as it arrives at its destination. If you target an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube, and it can’t be held or carried by an unwilling creature. The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether the creature or object arrives there successfully. The GM rolls d20 and consults the Lunar Transfer table below. The following destination definitions will help:

Grove or Magic Circle means a hallowed druid grove or a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know.
Memento means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard’s library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a lich’s secret tomb.
Very Familiar is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell.
Seen Casually is someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren’t very familiar. Viewed Once is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic.
Description is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else’s description, perhaps from a map.
False Destination is a place that doesn’t exist. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy’s sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or perhaps you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists.

Also consider the following arrival definitions as well:

On Target. The target creature or object appears where you want it to.
Off Target. The target creature or object appears a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 5 miles times a 1d20 roll, though never more than half the distance traveled. For example, if you sent someone 250 miles and they landed off target, and you rolled an 8 on the d20, then they would arrive off target by 40 miles. If you had sent them only 20 miles, they could not be more than 10 miles off target. The GM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. If you were teleporting someone to a coastal city and they wound up 20 miles out at sea, they could be in trouble.
Similar. Your target creature or object winds up in a different area that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area. If you are sending someone to your home laboratory, for example, they might wind up in another wizard’s laboratory or in an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same tools and implements as your laboratory. Generally, the creature or object appears in the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, they could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane.
Mishap. The spell’s unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. The teleporting creature or object takes 2d12 force damage, and the GM rerolls on the table to see where you wind up. (Multiple mishaps can occur, dealing damage each time.)

Moonlight Sending

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: an offering of gemstones, incense, and oils worth at least 400 gp, which the spell consumes, set afire in an alabaster bowl

Duration: Instant

You exhort a fiend to attack a distant foe. After the offering is made, make a spell attack roll to determine which fiend is summoned:

d20	Result	CR
1-4	Sending fails	-
5-8	Wind Demon, or Quasit	1-2
9-12	Rattok Demon, or Bearded Devil	3-4
13-16	Lesser Lunar Devil, or Vrock	4-6
17-20	Lunar Devil, or Hezrou	8
21+	Alnaar, or Horned Devil	9-11

Once summoned, you must compel the fiend to seek out a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you by making a DC 10 Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, the fiend slinks off to its target, usually but not always by night. On a failure, the fiend refuses, and the offering and the bowl are consumed in the casting. The conjured fiend may find that the target is warded or inaccessible or simply difficult to find (whether because of invisibility or some other reason). In this case, you must make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, the fiend returns and demands no further offering, reports its failure, and vanishes. On a failure, the fiend returns and demands another offering. If this is not immediately forthcoming, it attacks you.

The bubble is a 5-foot-radius sphere that has 10 hit points and an AC equal to your spell save DC. The bubble rises 10 feet into the air along with its contents, up to 30 feet, at the beginning of each of your turns. A creature trapped inside the bubble at the beginning of its turn cannot see or hear anything outside the bubble and must make a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you and the bubble until the start of its next turn. A creature outside the bubble that targets it with an attack must make a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you and the bubble until the beginning of its next turn.

Casting Time: 1 hour

Range/Area: 10ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a silver latch or key worth 100 gp, which the spell consumes

Duration: 24 hours

Damage/Effect: Liminal

You conjure a portal or doorway that links an unoccupied space you can see within range to a precise location in the mortal or fey realms—such as Midgard, the Shadow Realm, or the Summer Lands—that you have stood. The portal is a semicircular opening, which you can make 5 to 20 feet in diameter—it is often cast under a bridge, archway, or even under roots or branches of a large tree. You can orient the portal in any direction you choose. It has a front and a back on each plane where it appears. Travel through the portal is possible only by moving through its front. Anything that does so is instantly transported to the other plane, appearing in the unoccupied space nearest to the portal. The portal lasts for the duration. Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals created by this spell from opening in their presence or anywhere within their domains.

At higher levels: If cast using a 5th-level or higher spell slot, you may make the portal last for 1 week after you create it. If cast using a 6th-level or higher spell slot, the shadow doorway is permanent until dispelled with a Radiant Beacon or Wish spell.

Attack/Save: DEX Save

Damage/Effect: Lightning

Crackling with lightning, you teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. Each creature within 5 feet of both the space you left and your new space must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 1d12 lightning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns for the duration, you can use your bonus action to call up the lightning and open such a storm door again, targeting a different space with the door each time. If you are outdoors when you cast this spell, a storm develops within 1 minute and follows you. Under such conditions, the spell’s damage increases to 2d12, and you can teleport up to 240 feet.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, a creature of your choice within 5 feet of you can teleport through the storm door with you. Accompanying creatures do not suffer the lightning damage.

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

Attack/Save: CHA Save

Damage/Effect: Poisoned

A creature of your choice within range is overcome with a need to consume the flesh of its own kind. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, its teeth become needlelike, and it becomes able to pinpoint creatures of the same type as it within 150 feet by scent. On its turn, the creature must move toward the nearest creature of its type by the fastest means possible. If it is within 5 feet of a creature of its type it must use its bonus action to make a bite attack against it. Your target has proficiency with its bite attack and deals damage equal to 1d6 + its Strength modifier. If a creature of its type is not present within 150 feet of the target, it must attack the closest living creature to it. At the end of each of its turns and each time it takes damage, the target can make a new saving throw. The target has advantage on its saving throw if it is triggered by damage. On a success, the spell ends, and the target is poisoned for 1 hour, unless it is a cannibal or comes from a cannibalistic culture.

You target a creature of your choice within range with a wasting of the flesh. Your target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 3d8 necrotic damage at the beginning of each of its turns for the duration. A target reduced to 0 hit points while under the effects of this spell has disadvantage on its death saving throws. If your target dies, you can raise it as a Zombie as a bonus action on your turn and can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to mentally command it as long as you are within 60 feet of it. If you command multiple undead as a result of multiple castings of this spell or similar spells like Animate Dead, you can command any or all of them at the same time using the same bonus action, issuing the same command to each one. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher before the current 24-hour period ends.

At higher levels: If you cast this spell using a 7th‑level spell slot, your target takes 6d8 necrotic damage at the beginning of each of its turns and animates as a if it dies. If you cast it using a 9th-level spell slot, it takes 9d8 necrotic damage and animates as a Ghast if it dies.

Damage/Effect: Unconscious

You tell a meandering story that is so full of asides and digressions that the point of it is lost on listeners. Any creature that is deafened or can’t be charmed is immune to the effects of this spell. Creatures of your choice in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you are compelled to stop what they are doing and listen to your story. While they are enraptured by your words, they automatically fail Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Insight and Perception) checks, and their passive scores in those skills are considered to be 0 for the duration. A creature can choose to pull away from your performance but must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall for 1 minute. This spell ends if you are incapacitated or can no longer speak.

Range/Area: 30ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: 24 hours

Attack/Save: WIS Save

Damage/Effect: Fey

As the Lost spell, and in addition to forgetting all navigation skills and landmarks, the target is compelled to wander off at a walk (attacking only in self-defense). The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, and if the saving throw fails, the spell removes all memory of particular locations, landmarks, and routes for the duration of the spell, even well-known ones such as locations within a city, a home forest, and well-known hills and roads. After 16 hours, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature falls into an exhausted long rest. A Remove Curse or Greater Restoration spell ends this effect.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 5th. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, a target experiences the spell for a second day, making a Wisdom saving throw after they wake up to continue wandering. If you use a spell slot of 9th level or higher, a target experiences this spell every day for a week.

A pillar of light falls from the air, filling the square you are in and the area within 5 feet of you. Each other creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw.

Undead and oozes have disadvantage on this saving throw. For the duration, a pillar of brilliant radiance shines around you and moves with you. It sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light is sunlight.

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: Concentration, 1 hour

You summon a giant of challenge rating 7 or lower, which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The giant disappears when they drop to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The giant is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the giant, which has their own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you) as long as the commands don’t violate their alignment. If you don’t issue any commands to the giant, they defend themself from hostile creatures but otherwise take no actions. If your concentration is broken, the giant doesn’t disappear, but instead, you lose control of them: the giant becomes hostile toward you and your companions and might attack. An uncontrolled giant can’t be dismissed by you, and they disappear 1 hour after summoned. The GM has the giant’s statistics.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 6th.

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 30ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: 1 granite pebble

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

Attack/Save: CON Save

Damage/Effect: Restrained

You and three creatures of your choice within range must succeed on a Constitution saving throw when the spell is cast and again at the start of each of your turns while the spell is in effect. A creature whose saving throw fails is restrained. If one of the three targeted creatures fails this saving throw, as many as two other creatures (per initial target), each within 30 feet of the initial target, must make the same save. A restrained creature must continue to make saving throws each turn, and their condition worsens on a failure, as follows:

Number of Turns Affected	Condition
1 (spell is cast)	restrained
2	incapacitated
3	stunned
4	paralyzed
5	petrified (turned to stone)

Each condition afflicted adds to the previous conditions. New saving throws reduce the severity of the condition affecting a target by one step on a success. If a target other than you succeeds on the saving throw while it is restrained, the spell ends for it. (You must make a saving throw each round.)

As with all concentration spells, you can end the spell at any time (no action required). If you are turned to stone, the spell ends after all affected creatures make their saving throws. Creatures recover immediately when the spell ends, except for creatures turned to stone, which remain that way until the effect is removed.

Creatures turned to stone can see, hear, and smell normally, but they don’t need to eat or breathe. If Shatter is cast on a stone creature, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster’s spell save DC or be killed.

Creatures transformed into stone can be restored with Dispel Magic, Greater Restoration, or comparable magic.

You reap the life force of a dying creature and use it to empower the next spell you cast. Your target must be at 0 hit points and dying or must have died within the last round. If the target is dying, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or die. The next time you cast a spell, you gain 1d10 + your spellcasting ability modifier in temporary hit points and can choose one of the following effects to inflict on the target in addition to the usual effects of the spell you are casting. If you do not cast another spell within 1 minute of casting this one, the effect is lost.

Fatiguing. Your target must make a Constitution saving throw, gaining 1d4 levels of exhaustion on a failed save or 1 level of exhaustion on a successful one.
Vampiric. You recover a number of hit points equal to half the damage you dealt. If you dealt damage to multiple creatures, you recover half the amount of damage you dealt to one of the targets.
Weakness. The target deals the minimum possible damage on melee attacks, if it hits, for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, it can make a Constitution saving throw. If it succeeds, the effect ends.

Damage/Effect: Exhaustion

You rapidly reduce the age of your target. Choose a living creature within range. At the time the spell is cast and again at the start of each of your turns, your target must make a Constitution saving throw, decreasing 1d4 + 1 years in age on a successful save or 1 year on a failed one. A target ceases the de-aging process once it is reduced to infancy. A creature that is reduced in age retains all of its memories, ability scores, and features, but it gains 1 level of exhaustion for each 5 years it is reduced in age. A Medium creature reduced to childhood cannot use weapons with the heavy property. A Medium creature reduced to infancy cannot wield weapons or use tools. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reverts to its true age. Otherwise, the targets is permanently reduced to its new age. Remove Curse and Greater Restoration can be used to return a creature to its true age. If you ever unintentionally lose concentration on the spell, you gain levels in exhaustion equal to what the target gained from this spell.

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 500ft. (100 ft. sphere)

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a bottle of shadows

Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

Attack/Save: CON Save

You generate a wave of shadow matter at a point on the ground that you can see within range. For the duration, black winds and currents of shadow matter whip in a 100-foot-radius circle centered on that point, modifying terrain and sometimes drowning creatures in the area. The area becomes difficult terrain. Each creature touching the ground must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature gains a level of exhaustion. When you cast this spell and at the end of each turn you spend concentrating on it, each creature on the ground in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.

The ebon tide deals 30 bludgeoning damage to any structure in contact with the ground in the area when you cast the spell and at the start of each of your turns until the spell ends. If a structure drops to 0 hit points, it sinks into the earth, consumed by the Shadow Realm. Any creature within a structure when it sinks must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d12 necrotic damage, is knocked prone, and is blinded for 1 round. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and doesn’t fall prone or become blinded.

This spell can have additional effects depending on the terrain in the area, as determined by the GM. No more than two of the following effects can be the result of one casting of ebon tide.

Hills and Hollows. Ground rises or sinks throughout the spell’s area at the start of your next turn after you cast the spell. These changes take the form of a hill, a slip fault (a new cliff), or a hollow. A total of 1d4 such hills, slip faults, or hollows open in locations chosen by the GM. A hollow or slip fault that opens beneath a structure causes it to automatically collapse (see above). A hollow or hill can alter the flow of local water, such as a moat, stream, or lake. Rivers, Shores, and Waters. Water in the area can adopt an old course (such as an oxbow) or be swept into a new one, starting at the start of your next turn after you cast this spell. Only one such water element can be altered by the casting of this spell. (You cannot alter both a lake and a stream feeding it, for instance.) Shadow Mire. All ground in the area of the spell becomes shadow mire for the duration.

Damage/Effect: Stunned

You sever the bonds of friendship and affection between your targets. Target two creatures of your choice within range that can hear and see you. Each target must make a Charisma saving throw.

If an unaffected target of the spell moves out of range, the other target must make every effort to find and attack it. At the end of each turn that one of the targets cannot see the other target, it can make a new saving throw, overcoming the compulsion on a successful save. Once all the spell’s targets make successful saving throws, you become stunned until the end of your next turn.

At higher levels: If you cast this spell using a 9th level slot, you can target two additional creatures. Each of the targets can decide on its turn which of the other targets it attacks or otherwise works against for the moment.
