Yeah these kind of cases are the kind of cool mainly RP-oriented reasons I want to include a more expansive permanent-spell-list.

long and boring discussion to follow (well not boring to me but): I would say nether case requires any 'spooky' entities; posit a force M (=magic). M is integral in producing effect E (causing THIS entity to have THOSE sorcerer powers) in condition C (spark)... Now, we can go about maybe...

To follow up on this excellent point: When i first started running 5e I didnt take this rule into account; a player was pulling off some odd stuff exploiting spell durations, magic jars, simulacra and clones and spells/moves that augment needed rest times, to do weird stuff that was illegal...

Ahh I see your explanation above greatly clarifies... and yeah it seems our concepts are consistent (although our dungeon delving procedures differ)...

I guess my megadungeon 'scale' is much larger tha yours... the MEGA connotes to me a truly expansive dungeon system that would take literal days, if not weeks/months, to traverse... it would be somewhat akin to saying: you go into Neverwinter or Sigil with what you got... Make it count... This...

A post script to my above post to Lanefan: of coure a Dm is free to stipluate any metaphysics they want and I am in no way discouraging a Dm to create their own world that works THEIR WAY... I do see though something similar to this happening: namely a DM being discouragd in making a purely...

I do BOTH of these things... but particularly concerning 2.) Magic is smoothly interpreted as a physical force... we can go so far as to say the thesis "EVERYTHING IS PHYSICAL" (in the sense of the STUFF WE KNOW EXISTS that OOmphy stuff, extended stuff that stuff that moves other stuffs about...

It is a specific mechanic that appears in some spell descriptions (usually at the end). Teleportation circle is a good example: Teleportation Circle Conjuration Level: 5 Casting time: 1 Minute Range: 10 feet Components: V, M (rare chalks and inks...

Ahh I was thinking of invisible servants... Anway using a 9th level spell you get 11 servants for 8 hours... do this for a year and you get 11 servants permanently... lets be generous and say you can make 500 servants a day expending spell slots... 500 thralls per year (I imagine there are...

Right but the game already facilitates (enemies at least) being able to amassing an army (hirelings, homunculus, etc.) and the flavor of using your own magic to create an army of tiny minions seems to be there (also i dont think tiny servants get attacks) (i am I guess assuming that these...

As a note: the cast in 'the same and relevant way' clause (e.g. you cast teleporation in THE SAME SPOT etc.) is intended to do some work in limiting the spell... yeah you cast charm person SUCCESSFULLY 365 days in a row on the same creature well that makes sense... yes this leads to the...

I like implementing BOTH (permanency spell was/is great!; yet a sorc that doesnt know permanncy may still be able to create lasting magical effects, given time!)

Cantrips are AUTO dispelled in most case... Concerning spiritual weapon... the spell does have a build in limit though, (i) you need to use a bonus action to get one attack it stands to reason that even if one has two spiritual weapons active they could only attack with one using that bonus...

I dont know these all seem fine to me, except creation... creation is surely abusable if allowed in game so yeah maybe excluding creation would be good... In a game where there are creatures that live forever permanent creation (even if it takes a year) would be radically world changing i...

Thank you for the response! I dont know if what I will say right now will affect whether you think it too OP but... An Nth level dispel magic will dispel an nth level spell,... So one has just spend a year casting blade ward constantly (and has probably gained in many levels in that yea) and...

The ability score adjustments are seemingly high and a +2 (to split the difference) seems good just as well and if one wants to lower those adjustments then +2 seems good... Concerning spider climb and turning into a bat: neither of those are game breaking nor even out of the reach of a party...

I am glad you found a 'solution' to your query! For what its worth I think it is well within the power of a wish (maybe triggering the 33% chance of NEVER casting again) to ameliorate a vampires bloodlust (forever more and with no penalty at all associated)... This vampire still gains awesome...

I can only imagine how coveted such fountains would be (think swarms of Djinn from the elemental plane of s=fire beseiging such a place to harness and extend the awesome power of these most excellent of fountains!)!

I wouldnt think house rules are needed... I imagine the simplist way to approach it is to put a (maybe mini) village in the dungeon (maybe the PC's have to 'clear' the village out... ALso, depending on the layout of the dungeon it may make sense to allow the players to onwardly advance clearing...

Hi All, One of the coolest mechanics in 5e is the spell mechanic that essentially makes a spell effect permanent if said spell is cast a certain number of days in a row (this mechanic has precedent in other editions but 5e has integrated the mechanic more robustly than other editions as far as I...
