True Strike
You extend your hand and point a finger at a target in range. Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target’s defenses.
On your next turn you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target provided that this spell hasn’t ended.Literally the only way to make the worst spell worse
“That guy 👉 is holding a shield”
Like the fake “Indicate” card from mtcj lore
Power Word Kill
You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can see within range to die instantly.
No more 100 hp limit. Instant death for anyone.
If the gods weren’t afraid to set foot on the material plane, they sure are now.
Creation:
You pull wisps of shadow material from the Shadowfell to create a nonliving object of vegetable matter within range: soft goods, rope, wood, or something similar. You can also use this spell to create mineral objects such as stone, crystal, or metal.
The object created must be no larger than a 5-foot cube, and the object must be of a form and material that you have seen before.“How far away is the BBEG’s fortress?”
“His lair is still many leagues in the distance. You can just barely see it on the horizon, nestled in the-”
“I spawn a really big boulder on top of it. Like, a reeeally big boulder.”
“…”
DM: roll1d20 to determine how large it is, then a second D20 to determine its density
Nat 1, nat20
DM:the boulder you spawned was the size a pebble, but the mass is so great it instantly collapses into a black hole and swallows the planet.
Range is only 30 feet so that won’t work.
A big enough bolder could cover the globe and be 30 ft from everywhere
Removing the radius definition from literally any spell
The HP requirement of sleep
Also The HP requirement of power word kill
Hold person:
At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throwEssentially “Petrify”, but the target is a living meat statue that slowly starves. 🤢
It has a duration.
Remove the risk of losing the ability to cast Wish.
Remove the limitation on what you can do with the second action from Haste.
A lot of spells only have one sentence about resisting or avoiding the effect. Like remove the save from Polymorph on an unwilling target, or remove the ability to discern most illusion spells.
My favorite magic item I ever got was Ring of the Grammarian. Change one letter of a spell…
Me: “Incestation” Dm: “hello, step brother.”
Tasha’s Hideous Daughter
Well, hello there.
Control Flames
You choose nonmagical flame
that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube.You affect it in one of the following ways:You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube
I turn off the sun
Technically the Sun is not on fire.
