Wizards of the Coast has revealed two new spells that will appear in the upcoming Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun book. Doomtide and Spellfire Storm were revealed over on D&D Beyond this week, providing a look at the new spells and explaining how Circle Casting will work within the game. Doomtide's description is as follows:
This spell creates a 20-foot-radius Sphere of inky, magical Darkness that can deal 5d6 Psychic damage to creatures caught within. But that's not all—those who fail their saving throw also subtract 1d6 from their saving throws until the end of their next turn.
Meanwhile, the description of Spellfire Storm is as follows:
Both spells can be greatly enhanced via Circle Casting. By expending a string of three black pearls from Pandemonium with at least five other casters, the spell's range becomes 1 mile and it no longer requires Concentration to cast. Meanwhile, Spellfire Storm's range can also be extended to one mile by expending a blue star sapphire worth 25,000+ GP. When circle casting is used, Spellfire Storm also no longer requires Concentration to contain.
