Duration: Instantaneous
The magic does not come from your hands, but from your
entire being: radiant and nearly overwhelming. It bends and
weaves from a flood to blanket, wrapping around the body of
the departed, as a ring of starlight shines above. The words
spill from your tongue in droves, quiet and barely above your
laborious breathing, but still so loud. You have to fit the
shape of a goodbye in what you say, and hope it travels to
them safely. The starlight descends, and the weight is nearly
crushing, despite how it passes right through you. It spins
around the body, blurring everything in your sight, and then
it is all gone.
You touch a dead creature that has been deceased
for no more than a year. If the creature has granted
permission, either pre- or post-humously, and is still
willing at the time of casting, you permanently block
its body from being affected by any spells or effects of
reanimation such as animate dead or deathbound speaker,
from being turned into any form of undead, from any
spell or effect that allows a creature to possess or control
it, from granting any knowledge or power to any creature
who attempts to devour it, from providing sustenance
except to beasts and vermin, from any spell or effect to
glean information from it such as speak with dead, and
from being resurrected. If the creature’s soul is held or
trapped from where it is meant to go, it is released and
permitted to go there directly and immediately.
The effects of this spell cannot be undone, dismissed,
or dispelled.

They rise like a tidal wave, strutting along the streets in a mass
of vibrating fluff. On their own, these cats are adorable little
creatures, but amassed together, they pave a terrifying path of
destruction. Glassware shatters all around, as it is pushed from
tables and shelves. Kittens paw at the coattails of passersby,
and trip wanderers by scampering too close underfoot. Rats and
birds squawk and shriek, as the mass of cats leap from every
possible vantage towards them, claws and teeth posed to strike.
The howling of the pack begging for table scraps drowns out
the normal sounds of the city. You pick up a cat and give him
a kiss on the forehead, before turning and disappearing into
the chaos.
You gain a single charge upon finishing this spell. By
using this charge, you conjure a deluge of cats to conceal,
distract, and enthrall. Hundreds of cats appear, and the
swarm then disperses in a 120ft radius. Within this 120ft
radius, you and your companions have advantage on stealth
checks amongst the chaotic, yowling kittens. You and your
chosen companions gain the ability to navigate through
the swarm of cats with no issue. Anyone else attempting to
make their way through the cats does so as though moving
through difficult terrain.
Additionally, any scrying attempts in the area of the spell
are rendered useless as any scrying orb is batted around like
balls of yarn by the cats. Creatures scrying in the affected
area must succeed a Constitution saving throw or become
incapacitated for 1 minute.
With Longer Casting Times. For each additional hour
you spend casting this spell, its radius increases by 30 feet.

 Speak With Departed
3rd level necromancy
Casting Time: 2 hours
Range: Self
Components: V S M (the still-beating heart of a raven, a
satchel of salt, and a sentimental item)
Duration: 15 minutes
Amongst a circle of candles and salt, you clutch a tarnished
locket to your chest. As the incantation ends, you feel your
extremities go cold and rigid, and the token begins to burn
red hot. A shout. You instinctively drop the searing token, and
watch in horrified slow motion as it crumbles to ash in the
air. You feel your heart start to stammer. A shadow flickers
around the circle, slamming itself against the edges with
wild animalistic howls and groans. The candle flames dance
wildly, pushed and pulled in whichever direction the shadow
lunges, roaring to a rapturous flame whenever it nears them.
Finding no escape, the shadow eventually settles in the middle
of the circle, and the flames still. And all is silent.
As you cast the spell, you draw a 10-foot-diameter
circle on the ground with salt, and place a sentimental
item within it. This item must be associated with the
creature you wish to speak to, and is then consumed
by the spell.
The circle fills with shadows, and allows the spirit of
a deceased creature of your choice to temporarily appear
on your plane. When the spirit appears, it retains the
memories and personality of its living self, and is not
bound to help you or answer your questions truthfully.
It has no knowledge of events that occurred after their
death, but can speculate on the future and learn new
information. The spirit also maintains their emotional
and cognitive capabilities, though they cannot interact
with anything physically or leave the salt circle.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration of the spell
lasts for an additional 10 minutes for each slot level
above 3rd.

Struggle to Remember
1st level illusion
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a white poppy encased in glass,
which must not be looked at during the casting or
duration of the spell)
Duration: 6 hours
You hold the glass covered poppy in your hand, thumbing
it while it remains out of sight in your pocket or bag, as
you recite your spell’s words of power. It hums softly with
your words and pulls your voice down to a whisper. Tenuous
sightings, chance exchanging of glances, even peripheral
vision begin to be blurred and removed around you. While
those you call friend and comrade remain unaffected, the
spell binds and restricts you from the memory of strangers.
You wreathe yourself in subtle magic, making it harder
to look at you, remember you, or discern your features.
Creatures will not be able to recall your presence or
appearance. If they are given specific descriptions or
depictions of you, they must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failure, they are unable to remember seeing
you at all. Creatures must succeed on another Wisdom
saving throw in order to recall anything you were doing.
If they fail to remember seeing you at all, they are
automatically unable to recall anything you have done.
Attacking, harming, or otherwise aggressive actions
towards a creature will disrupt the spell, allowing said
creature and any creatures who are witness to such
actions, able to see you, remember you, and discern who
you are. As well, any illegal or taboo actions that would
draw attention to yourself, such as trespassing or theft,
disrupt the spell during the act, and break it for anyone
who catches you in the act. For example, should you steal
an item from a store, creatures who witness you stealing
it remember that it was you who stole it. But if they
are unable to witness it, then they will not recall your
presence in the store at all.

When the effect ends, the target reappears in the space
they left, or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space
is occupied.
If your target is native to a different plane of
existence than the one you’re on, they are sent
to their home plane. You can spend an additional 4 ki

which the creature can choose to return to the nearest
unoccupied location. Otherwise, they return to the

certain spells in this world that live. They live in
a variety of forms and secrets, and they are rare.
So rare, in fact, that even seeing one is considered
a boon. They ask for more, they want more, and
in exchange, they give more. Things that you’d

Antiquities are not found nor are they taken as trophies.
They are created through the use of the irreparable soul
incantation, born into reality upon completion of its
second rite. They are representations of the life that its
creator once had, and beacons of what they have become.
Antiquities house the soul of their creators, serving as
both bastion and barricade for their life and undeath, and
as shepherd should its creator perish.
Magic always has its costs. Antiquities have an AC of 28 and 400 hit points.
Antiquities heal themselves over time, healing 20 points
of damage each turn. Antiquities have resistance to acid,
cold, fire, force, lightning, piercing, poison, psychic,
radiant, slashing and thunder damage, immunity to
nonmagical damage, and any amount of necrotic damage
it would receive heals the antiquity for an equal amount
of hit points. Creatures who damage an antiquity with a
weapon attack roll, spell attack roll, or spell must make a
DC 20 Intelligence saving throw or take an equal amount
of damage as inflicted upon the antiquity.
Should the creator of an antiquity die, they gain a new
body over the course of 1d10 days, regaining all its hit
points and becoming active again. This new body appears
within 5 feet of the antiquity. While the creator is dead
and the body is forming, they are able to see out of the
antiquity, and may communicate as normal from the
antiquity. Should the new body be destroyed before it
is completed, another new body begins to form over the
course of another 1d10 days.
