Twelvetrees' Database Lookup
6^th-level divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S, M (a tome worth at least 25gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

Name or describe a type of creature, class, spell or item. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of basic properties, weaknesses and vulnerabilities, or even meta-statistics that you have no right to know. If the thing you named is of legendary importance, you gain no information; this spell can only provide information about obscure and/or generic topics. The more information you already have about the thing, the more precise and detailed the information you receive is.
The information you learn is accurate but might be buried in unclear language. Twelvetrees is not responsible for and cannot guarantee the quality of third-party database entries.


It's like Legend Lore, but quicker!

plus it helps you to make knowledge checks more clearly since every site has a database you can learn lot of info

In case anyone was actually waiting for the exotic elemental stat blocks, you can now find them here. Enjoy!

Love 'em. I am currently forcing my DM to grant this spell to my sorcerer when appropriate...

Pwykersotz's Polite Proposal
1st-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: 1 minute

You call out a well thought out suggestion to a creature you can see within range. It must make a Charisma saving throw. If it fails the saving throw, its speed is reduced to 0 for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Charisma saving throw. On a success, the spell ends on the target.

LaVa On Demand
7^th level Evocation
Casters: Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Self (20 foot radius)
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

You cause bubbles of magma to rise from the ground in a 20 foot radius. Each creature other than you in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, they take 8d10 fire damage. Creatures who succeed on the save take half damage. The magma then solidifies, which clears difficult terrain caused by loose earth or stone on the ground around you.

Now that we've got a perma-permission thread, I figure it's time to make some new spells! I'll get us re-started...

MrStabby's Flurry of Steel
Transmutation cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, M (a dagger)
Duration: Instantaneous

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a dagger against one creature, otherwise the spell fails. If the attack hits, you may make another attack with the dagger against the same target.
This spell allows you to make more attacks when you reach higher levels. At 5^th level you can make up to three attacks, up to four at 11^th level and up to five at 17^th level. You must hit with each attack in succession before you can roll the next one.

...

NP, tell me these attacks don't add ability modifier.

[Ninja_Prawn]

...

Of course they do! That's what brings it into line with the other melee cantrips (which work with any weapon). Plus it doesn't stack with Extra Attack.

At level 1, it deals 2d4+6 damage. That's 11, as compared to GFB, which deals 1d8+3+3, which is 10.5.

At level 5, it deals 3d4+12. That's 19.5, as compared to GFB, which deals 2d8+4+3, which is 16.

At level 11, it deals 4d4+20, for 30 damage. As compared to GFB's 3d8+4+4, which is only 21.5.

At level 17, it's a whopping 5d4+25, for 37.5. As compared to GFB's 4d8+5+5, which is 28.

It's superior at every level.

Hang on, GFB is 3d8+4+3 (20.5) at 5^th, 5d8+4+4 (30.5) at 11^th and 7d8+5+5 (41.5) at 17^th. And that's assuming a 1d8 weapon, which is not the maximum available (though the potential for 2d6 weapons is offset by the fact you'd be applying a magical dagger's enchantments multiple times in my spell).

I'll admit that I didn't actually do the maths the first time, but in hindsight I stand by my original instinct.

Single target DPR. You can't rely on two guys standing next to each other.

...but, but, your second +X assumes just that!

Okay, so the fact that MrStabby's Flurry of Steel is viable in more situations than Green-Flame Blade makes it intrinsically more powerful. I can get behind that. Would it be closer to the money if I added in the clause: "only one of these attacks may add your ability modifier to the damage roll, unless your modifier is negative." That cuts 20 damage off the top end, leaving it well under half of an optimal GFB.

It says against one creature, not against two. That thing is pure single target DPR.

And that'd nerf it to uselessness. Honestly, I think giving Extra Attack as a cantrip is just a bad idea, period.

These are just for fun, you know.

I've given it a gentler nerf - you have to hit in succession now, so instead of 2 attacks, you get more like 1.5. In my head, it seems like that would be a lot of fun...

*rolls* Woo, hit! Let's keep this thing going! *rolls* Yeah, stab-stab! *rolls* Aww.

It builds up the excitement as you roll each attack.

[RakiReborn]

Permission to make me a spell, if anyone is interested. Curious what you will make of it :)

It'd have to have something to do with homebrewing stuff... maybe some kind of conjuration? Anyway...

mgshamster's Delicious Hoard
4^th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 5 feet
Components: S
Duration: 10 minutes

You open a portal in the air in an unoccupied space within range. This portal connects to a pocket dimension, wherein you can store an unlimited amount of food or drink - inserting or retrieving any item requires an action. The portal will reject any item other than foodstuffs, though it will accept magical foods and potions. You may only have one pocket dimension associated with this spell; whenever you cast this spell, the portal opens to the same dimension, unless you know the nature and contents of a dimension created by another creature using this spell, in which case you can choose to connect to that instead.
When the spell ends, the portal closes and the pocket dimension is sealed off. While it is sealed, time does not pass so the foodstuffs inside do not spoil or change in any way.

BlackSymphony's Dissonant Tuning
5^th level Necromancy
Casters: Bard, Cleric, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range Touch
Components: V, S, M (A magic item that requires attunement)
Duration: 8 hours

You cause the magic item used as the spell's material component to bestow a curse on others who attune to it for the duration. When you cast the spell, you choose the nature of the curse from the same options as Bestow Curse. Other people who attune to the magic item must make a Wisdom saving throw or have the curse afflict them, removing it from the item. If they succeed on the save, it stays in the item to affect the next person whom attunes to it. You can designate any number of people to automatically succeed on the save. A Remove Curse spell applied to person afflicted ends the effect.
A magic item can only have this effect applied to it once. Attempting to add second curse to an item notifies the caster there is a curse made by this spell on the item already, and lets them either alter the existing curse or remove it in order to create a new one.
At Higher Levels If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 24 hours. If you cast it with a 9th level spell slot, it lasts until dispelled.

Notes: Bestow Curse is on PHB p218, Remove Curse is on PHB p271
This doesn't have the options Bestow Curse does for a 1 or 10 minute duration because attuning to a magic item takes an hour. The spell would end before it could ever possibly take effect.
Custom options for Bestow Curse can also be used for this spell.
Remove Curse can't remove this spell from a magic item because it only breaks attumement with cursed magic items, not the curse itself. DM is free to rule that Remove Curse can break this spell's hold on an item.
The increased casting time and rare material component should prevent this from edging out Bestow Curse.

JakOfAllTirades' Power Word: Thrill
6^th-level illusion

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

This spell creates a thrilling illusion of pleasurable sensations that overwhelms the mind of one humanoid target, causing it to become Charmed by the caster for the duration. The charmed target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the Charmed effect ends.

Here's a non-user version of this spell that occurred to me almost instantly: Succubus' Promise. As above, except the target must be able to hear the caster and they must share a language. The target feels the sensation of an appealing member of the same race pressing against them and whispering impossibly delightful things into their ear.

Mgshamster's Ocular Assault
Conjuration Cantrip

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action
Range: Self (Special, see text)
Components: V,S (Special, see text)
Duration: See text

With a wave of their hand, the caster conjures a small rodent in their hand superficially similar to the common hamster. As an Action, you may fling the rodent at another creature within 30 feet, as long as you shout 'Go for the eyes!' while doing so. Make a ranged spell attack against the target creature. On a hit, the rodent latches to the target and scurries about biting and scratching for the duration, focusing on the area around the eyes or similar sensory organs if possible. At the start of each of the target's turns, the target takes 1d6 piercing damage and grants Advantage to the next attack made against it. Attempting to grab, hurt, or otherwise hinder the rodent will cause it to squeak loudly and evade the attempt, but otherwise continue its assault; any creature doing so feels a vague sense of disapproval, as if a Ranger were glaring at them. When the duration expires, a ghostly muscled hand appears, grabs the rodent, and vanishes with it.

Special: At 1st Level, the rodent remains for 1 round.
At 5th Level, the rodent remains for 2 rounds.
At 11th Level, the rodent remains for 3 rounds.
At 17th Level, the rodent remains for 4 rounds.



I just couldn't resist after learning the origin of the name.

I feel like this should be a dexterity save to avoid, and allow for a repeat dexterity save to use your action to attempt to remove the rodent.
