Mirrorform

6th-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 Hour Range: 15ft (see text) Components: V,S,M (A silver mirror worth at least 200gp (Shattered in the process) Duration: 24 hours (see text) Classes:  Wizard, Sorcerer

Description: You place mirror in a way that's reflecting the item or creature you want the mirror to mimic. If the target leaves the view of the mirror or the mirror becomes damaged in any way while casting the spell it simply fizzles out.

After you finish casting this spell the mirror shatters, leaving a Mirrorform mimic in it's place. This Mirrorform mimic has already taken shape of whatever item the mirror was focused on.

For the next 24 hours, The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it take the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.

The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to three creatures you have created with this spell rather than creating a new ones.

If the mirrorform is copying an item rather than a creature then it will make no attempt to leave or transform out of the item's form for the duration of the spell. This again can be extended by recasting the spell. once the spell ends it may transform or leave by it's own will.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot: You may cast this spell using a higher level spellslot and another silver mirror worth at least 200gp for each higher level spellslot. Each mirror must be focused on the same item or creature and the same rules apply. If this spell is cast using a 9th level spellslot, you may use any number of mirrors to make that many mirrorform mimics.

Widogast’s cat carrier

2nd level abjuration (ritual)

Casting time: 1 minute (needed to wrangle the cat)

Target: 1 cat or kitten

Range: touch

Components: V/S/M (a tiny statuette of a cage with a sprig of catnip inside)

Duration: 4 hours (after which you really need to let the cat out)

You place a single cat or kitten (Tiny-sized beast) into a pocket dimension with breathable air that is filled with attractive cat toys, climbing trees, scratching posts, digging boxes, and places to eliminate waste. The cat is safe from harm for the duration of the spell, or until you remove it as a bonus action. Only cats can be placed in the carrier; the spell fails if any other creature is the target. The cat does not need to be willing in order for the spell to succeed, but if the cat is unwilling, you take 1d4-1 piercing damage during casting.

At higher levels: You can add two additional cats or kittens to the same extradimensional space per spell slot above second level.

Monster Abilities by CR

IT’S HERE. A THING THAT I MADE. I DID IT.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EiGQ23aFA_h5wS4ZfaCtueRR7cIIW7m5/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107104011628851139383&rtpof=true&sd=true

“What is it?” I took all monster abilities from official sources and slapped them in a spreadsheet.

(BIG thank-you to 5e.tools. If you don’t know what that is, go there, use it, and thank me later. It’s basically D&D Beyond but more exhaustive and better organized, and doesn’t try to fucking bleed you dry because they secretly hate their consumers. Oopsies, opinion slip.)

“Why? Why did you do this?” It’s okay, I asked myself that same thing. A lot.

Not gonna lie… I’m not 100% sure what to do with this information yet. I kind of just did this in a two-week-long obsessive burst. For now, I would use this as a kind of pick-and-choose modular monster-building resource. For example, you have an idea for a homebrew monster, and you know a couple things you want it to do, but there’s no official monster that’s an easy reskin – nothing where you can just pump up the stats and change the elemental damage. And you have no idea what CR this monster should/would be. You look at this table, find the closest ability, pick some other abilities of the same CR or lower, hop on over to Monster Manual on a Business Card to calibrate the stats, and bada-bing you have a ready-to-go monster (hopefully).

If nothing else, this experiment might call 5e's monster balance into question! Yaaaayyyyyyy!

A couple notes on formatting/content:

I didn’t include basic melee attacks (so anything that’s just roll to hit, then bludgeoning/slashing/piercing damage) because they’re all the same thing with slightly different numbers.

Until I get around to italicizing the spells, they’re denoted with an *asterisk. The only spells listed here are innate spells – or “Spell-Like Abilities,” as they were called in editions of yore. So I didn’t include every spell from every caster.

If the ability is listed unmodified, assume there are no limitations – so it’s a standard action, bonus action, or passive ability.

Sorry if this is rough around the edges. In the coming weeks, I’m going to follow up this post with observations and updates to the list. I’m going to go back and fix formatting for many of these entries, but I needed to just post this dang thing.

Should I have written down reference monsters for all these abilities? Yes, 100%.

Anyways, that’s enough out of me. I hope you get some use out of this!

Question: Potential Blog Ideas

I’ve been unable for the past month or so to even start the Skill Series. It’s taking too much brain power for some reason. I really want to do more things on my blog as I get into spell slumps, like recently. I have two replacement series that I could do instead.

My first idea is a Worldbuilding Spell Series. This series focuses on asking worldbuilding questions and providing new spell uses for DMs. I’ve been thinking about how to use official D&D 5e spells. Not just the creative uses, but the everyday uses you might come across in a D&D world. Everything from charlatans scamming kids with Prestidigitation to a construction wizard using Telekinesis. I want to expand the backgrounds of spellcasters by tying their previous/current job to their magic. This can go for NPC’s and players that have particular backgrounds, like a guild artisan wizard with carpenter’s tools or an investigator bard proficient in persuasion.

My second idea is a Dynasty Exploration Series. We all know this funky Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount country is this weird enigma. We know so little about how it works, leaving a lot of it to interpretation. I aim to show you my interpretation of the Dynasty, providing my own ideas to inspire your own worlds. I have a lot of cultural, religious and historical ideas to share. Some of these ideas will take inspiration from existing cultures and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes (with the assumption that this is where Matt’s dark elf inspirations originate from).

If you have an interest in either series, tell me which one you want. Telling me outright will motivate me to do it.
