A creature that spends any part of its turn within 10' also takes this damage. Touching the wall does 2d8 cold damage per round. The wall is AC 14 and each 5' cube has 40 hp. If a section is destroyed, it releases a wave of chilling cold that does 3d8 cold to each creature within 20' (Con save for half).5th levelCloudkill- creates a 30' radius, 20' high cloud of poisonous green vapors centered on apoint you can see within 90'. When it appears, each creature in the cloud takes 3d6 poison damage and must make a Con save, becoming poisoned for as long as it is in the cloud and for 1 minute thereafter (save ends when out of the cloud). While poisoned in this way, the creature has a 1d6 penalty die to attacks and checks. A creature that spends any of its turn in the cloud also suffers these effects. The cloud lasts for 10 minutes, and at the start of your turn, unless you spend 15' of movement to halt it until your next turn, it moves 15' directly away from you. The cloud is opaque and blocks line of sight within and through it.Cone of Cold- 60' cone, does 8d8 cold damage (Con save for half). Upcast one level: add 1d8 damage.Conjure Elemental- 10 minutes to cast, requires 2,000 gp in arcane components; conjures an elemental from a large mass of air, earth, fire, or water. This is an elemental of the appropriate type 90% of the time, but sometimes something else comes through instead or in addition, and is uncontrolled. Conjured elementals remain for 1 hour. While you concentrate on the elemental, you can spend 20' of movement to issue it a command. If you don't concentrate, it becomes angry and hostile to you, and if you try to issue it another command by resuming concentration, it can make a Wis save to ignore your commands. You can continue to try to reassert your command on it as long as the duration lasts, but if it makes 3 saves against your attempts, you can no longer reassert yourself on it.Hold Monster- one living creature within 60' must make Wis save or be paralyzed for concentration, up to 1 minute (save ends). If all targets make the initial save, you don'texpend the spell slot. While it is paralyzed, attacks against it geta 1d8 bonus die and deal double damage. Upcast one level: add onetarget.Passwall- touch a surface, open a passage up to 10' square and up to 30' deep through it. The passage remains open for 8 hours or until you spend 15' of movement to close it (which you can do at any distance). Anything inside when it closes takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage and is expelled out the closest end of the passage; a creature can use a reaction tomake a Dex save. If it succeeds, it can move its speed before taking amage, and if it gets out of the passage, it takes no damage.Plane Shift- requires the proper tuning fork. You can either transport yourselfand up to 11 other willing creatures or a single unwilling creature to the plane your tuning fork corresponds to. In either case, if you picture a particular location on that plane, the targets appear 1d100 miles from that location; otherwise they appear in a random spot onthe plane. If you target an unwilling creature, it can make a Cha save to resist, and if it succeeds, you don't expend the spell slot.Teleport- you teleport yourself and up to 9 other creatures you touch up to 100 miles. If you know the destination well, you arrive on target. Otherwise, you must make a Cha check based on how well you know the destination (have been there multiple times, 2d6; seen once, 3d6; never been there, 4d6). You must know at least roughly where the destination is (i.e. you can't teleport to “Bob's house” if you don't know where his house is). If you fail this check, you suffer a mishap. Roll 1d8: 1 to 5- arrive in a similar looking location within 100 miles of the target; 6 or 7- arrive in a random location within 100 miles of the target; 8- mishap deals 5d8 force damage to each creature teleporting.Wall of Force- create a transparent wall of force up to 50' high, 80' wide, and 1' thick. The wall can't be damaged except by disintegration, and incorporeal creatures can't pass through it. The wall lasts 30 minutes or until you spend 20' of movement to end it.</blockquote>
