Level: 0
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a silver coin)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The caster drops a silver coin wherever they can see within
30 feet; the coin starts to swirl at incredible speed and shines,
eventually floating in mid-air, 5 feet from the ground. The
coin radiates a dim light in a 5 feet radius and emits a faint,
continuous hiss. A creature ending its turn within the light
radius or stepping into it for the first time in a turn must
roll a Wisdom Saving Throw as any creature adjacent to the
coin when the spell is cast. In case of failure, the creatures
have Disadvantage on Attack and Initiative Rolls until the
beginning of their next turn.

a book). Whether the spell is cast indoors or outdoors, the
item is infused with moonlight and casts bright light for 10
feet and dim light for another 10 feet. Covering the item with
something non-translucent obstructs its radiance.
If the spell is cast during a Lunar Phase corresponding to
the caster’s Birthmoon, its range increases by 30 feet for the
bright light and by other 30 feet for the dim one. Also, the
duration increases to 4 hours.

The caster gifts a silver coin, imbued with the Moon’s be-
nign influence, to an unaware target. The target must make
a Wisdom Saving Throw. In case of failure, the caster can
choose an effect among the following:
•
The target forgets one of its prepared or known spells of
3rd level or lower until it takes a Long Rest
•
The target forgets the events of the last 2d6 minutes.
It keeps only vague sensations and feelings (anger,
fear, sadness) related to its lost memories. It would be
receptive to any explanation about the blank, though.
•
The caster has access to a specific memory of the
target in the form of a mental image which lasts about
6 seconds. The image is flawed in minor details and
filtered through the target’s perspective, but it is reliable
enough in its major features. The target does not forget
said memory in the process.
The target whose Saving Throw failed has no clue as to the
spell it was under or its effects, but lack of plausible expla-
nation regarding its momentary confusion would arouse
suspicion.
At higher levels: when the spell is cast using a 3rd level
slot or higher, it affects one additional target every 2 slot levels
above 2nd (the caster still has to give a silver coin to each of
the new targets).

ural source of light within the spell radius will radiate only a
dim light. Magical lights created by 2nd level spells or lower
do the same. Also, any effect depending on Lunar Phases will
count as in the New Moon Phase within the spell radius.
On the other hand, if the spell is cast during the New
Moon Lunar Phase, the semi-darkness becomes magical
darkness which obfuscates any kind of normal sight (even
Darkvision) except the caster’s. Sources of light, whether nat-
ural or deriving from a 2nd level spell or lower cannot pene-
trate this darkness.

casting of the spell instantly extinguishes any other source of
light, whether natural or magical (2nd level spell or lower), in

ing the trance. The target must make a successful Wisdom

8TH LEVEL
Temple of the Moon
Conjuration
Level: 7
Casting time: 1 hour
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pearl worth at least 50 gp)
Duration: 24 hours
The caster shapes the moonlight to erect a temple, which will
rise from a point they can see within 120 feet, provided that
the surrounding space is free in a 120 feet sided cubic area.
The temple will exist for 24 hours. Adorned with symbols re-
calling the Lunar Phases, other architectural or aesthetic de-
tails of the temple (gates, staircases, sculptures) can be decid-
ed by the caster. The interior of the temple is illuminated by
dim light and any stronger light source is reduced. The scent
of incense fills the air, and the temperature is cold. The caster
can preclude access to the temple to certain creatures, using
alignment or creature type as requirements. The moonlight
also illuminates the ethereal plane, with all the consequent
effects. A creature that does not meet the imposed require-
ments must make a successful Charisma Saving Throw or be
rejected from the temple for the duration of the spell. If the
Saving Throw is successful, and the creature manages to enter,
the holiness of the place will hinder it at all times, causing it a
penalty of 1d4 to all Attack Rolls, Saving Throws and Ability
checks as long as it is inside the temple.
Within the temple it is not possible to be the target of
divination spells that originate outside the temple. The tem-
ple is impervious to any kind of damage or effect, and yet is
immediately destroyed by a disintegrate spell.
Each short rest inside the temple grants a bonus of 1d6
to the Hit Points and Soul Points recovered by spending at
least one Hit Dice. A long rest in the temple eliminates any
poison, disease, curse, reduction of Maximum Hit Points, and
Exhaustion Levels that affect the characters.
Dreadful Eclipse
Illusion
Level: 8
Casting time: 1 action
Range: self
Components: V, S, M (a moonstone)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
The caster creates an illusory eclipse to obscure the Moon,
terrorizing creatures in the area. Any creature of the caster's
choice that begins its turn, or enters for the first time in its
turn, in a 100 feet area around the caster takes 2d8 cold dam-
age and must make a successful Wisdom Saving Throw or fall
prone and be Frightened for as long as they stay in the area.
Aberrations, Fiends and Undead, on the other hand, are
caught in a blind rage if they fail their Saving Throw and are
forced to use their action to attack the nearest creature in me-
lee. Also, whenever they deal damage while in this state, they
take radiant damage equal to half the damage dealt.
Exile in the Frozen Waste
Conjuration
Level: 8
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
The caster imprisons a target creature they can see within
60 feet in a dark demiplane, illuminated by distant stars,
characterized by an expanse of gray dust dotted with large
craters. The target remains imprisoned either until the
spell is over or if it uses its own action to make a success-
ful Intelligence Saving Throw (DC 15) to escape. In case of
failure, the creature takes 1d6 cold damage, which increases
by 1d6 with each attempt. If the creature is reduced to 0
Hit Points in doing so, the spell ends, and it returns to its
plane of origin with the defunct appearance of a withered
and frozen mummy, but it is actually only its metabolism
that is extremely slowed down. Therefore, the creature can
make Saving Throw against death every hour, instead of ev-
ery round. If the target stabilizes, they quickly resume their
normal appearance.
NIGHTFELL
206
When the spell ends, the target reappears in the space they
left behind or, if it was occupied, in the nearest unoccupied

An intense beam of moonlight is concentrated in a 60 feet
diameter area, centered on a point in the caster's field of view
and within a 150 feet radius. Any creature within the area
must make a successful Constitution Saving Throw or take
8d8 radiant damage and be Incapacitated and Blinded for 1
minute (success halves damage, avoids Incapacitated status,
and decreases blinding to the end of target’s next turn). An
incapacitated creature can repeat the Saving Throw at the end
of its turn to end the effect. Any magical light or darkness
within the area is dispersed.
At higher levels: if the spell is cast using a 9th spell level
slot, radiant damage increases to 12d8.
Lunar Collapse
Necromancy
Level: 8
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a drop of mercury)

radiant (during Full Moon) or necrotic damage (during New
Moon) or cold damage (during other Phases) (success halves
damage). Aberrations, Fiends and Undead have Disadvantage
on any Saving Throw against radiant damage. Humanoids,
Beasts and Giants have Disadvantage on Saving Throws
against necrotic damage.
Moon Whispers
Divination
Level: 8
Casting time: 10 minutes
Range: unlimited
Components: V, S
Duration: instantaneous
The caster communes with the Moon and listens to her
whispers to discover the location of a place or creature. Only
effects or spells of 8th level or higher can prevent this divina-
tion, whereas normal means of protecting against detection
spells are not effective and cannot confuse the caster. If the
creature or object is on a different plane of existence, the cast-
er will know what plane the creature is on but not the exact
location on that plane.
To find the creature, the caster must have seen it earlier at
least once, and to find an object they must have touched it.
Obfuscated Mind
Abjuration

Selenite Domination
Enchantment
Level: 8
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
The caster uses the charm of the Moon to take possession
of the will of a creature they can see within 60 feet. The
target must make a successful Wisdom Saving Throw or be
Charmed for the duration of the spell. A clearly hostile target
has Advantage on the Saving Throw. The caster can use their
action to take control of the target's body, and, at the end of
the target's next turn, the caster can choose which actions
(and reactions) the target will perform on their turn. Using
the reaction of the dominated creature requires the use of the
character's reaction. Each time the target takes damage they
can repeat the Saving Throw: if successful, a flash of light
blinds the creature until the end of its next turn, but the spell
ends.
At higher levels: if the spell is cast using a 9th level spell
slot, the duration extends to 8 hours.

Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 7 rounds
The caster induces the Moon to show its most destructive
aspect.
Within 0.6 miles from a point that the caster chooses
within their own field of view, any creature (with the excep-
tion of the caster and allies within 5 feet of them) suffers
the effect of the spell that is gradually strengthening. On any
round after the spell is cast, the caster can use its action to
support its effect, otherwise the spell is over.
Round 1: invisible objects and creatures are revealed, and can-

reduced by 1 point per Hit Dice; the duration of this effect is
permanent, but a wish spell can be used to restore the maxi-
mum Hit Points; wooden structures rot and become unstable,
or collapse under their own weight
Round 7: creatures in the area become sterile and will be per-
manently unable to reproduce; the duration of this effect is
permanent, but a wish spell can be used to dispel it; stone
structures lose solidity, become dangerous or collapse under
their own weight, lime crumbles, and marble cracks
NIGHTFELL
208
This spell can devastate entire cities without respite for the
inhabitants who have a few seconds to realize what is hap-
pening, under what will probably be the last Moon they will
see rise. For this reason, the required magical energies are im-
mense, and the caster ages by 10% of their life expectancy (if
a human, for example, has a life expectancy of 80 years, they
will age by 8 years) every time they terminate the casting of
the spell. An immortal creature has a 10% chance to see its
immortality shattered and incur death by old age in the round
immediately following the end of the spell.

less, its mind will be erased completely, losing every memory,
every fragment of its personality, every Proficiency in skills
and tools, and it forgets every language except one (usually, its
racial language). If the creature has more than 100 Hit Points,
the spell has no effect.
Lunar Marvel
Divination
Level: 9
Casting time: 1 minute
Range: touch
Components: V, S, M (a pearl and a vial of mercury)

nipulate the lunar reflex, through which it has Advantage on

Selenite Projection
Necromancy
Level: 9
Casting time: 1 hour
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (a silver bar worth 1,000 gp consumed
by the spell)
Duration: special
The caster abandons their body, which remains unconscious
and in a state of suspended animation, therefore not requiring
food or air, and does not age. The spirit the caster manifests
has the appearance of their mortal remains but with silvery
and glowing skin. The spirit of the caster cannot go through
places that are not illuminated by the Moon, but as long as
it is under its direct influence it can use its action to teleport
itself and any creature within 5 feet to any point on moonlit
surface within 0.6 miles.
In the form of a lunar projection, the caster maintains all
its Abilities, Skills, and powers, but cannot perform long rests.
When the lunar projection is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the
spell ends.
As the Moon sets, the caster does not necessarily have to
end the spell, but their spirit simply returns to their body,
where they remain until the following night. During the day,
the projection regains any spent Hit Die.
If the caster's body takes damage, the projection will know
the amount and type, but not the source.
The caster can decide to end the spell at any time they
deem appropriate as a bonus action.
When the spell ends for any reason and the caster awakens,
they get 4 Exhaustion Levels. Any condition (except curses)
that affected the lunar projection no longer afflicts the caster.
A wish spell can be used to end this spell; moreover, if
the caster fails a Saving Throw based on Charisma, it will be
forcibly teleported to where its lunar projection was.

static and perfect image of what was inside the bubble at the
time of casting, while translucent from the inside.
When the caster sees a creature take damage or fail a
Saving Throw, they can end the spell as a Reaction.
When the spell is over, the bubble dissolves and, if they
wish, the caster can return everything to the state it was in
when the spell was cast.
This effect restores: location of creatures, statuses, Hit
Points, spell slots (see below). This spell does not restore the
use of privileges, magic item charges, consumables, ammo, or
anything other than what indicated above.
Creatures that were inside the bubble when the spell was
cast and are instead outside the bubble when the spell is over,
get 1 Exhaustion Level.
The magic of the chronosphere is powerful, but it is unable
to restore used spell slots of 4th level or higher.
