Prismatic Barrage Evocation Cantrip | Sorcerer

A quick, chaotic flick of the wrist and a mote of raw elemental energy flies toward your target. I wanted to create a cantrip that serves the sorcerer like Eldritch Blast does the warlock, something core to their identity, but with the same unpredictable streak that makes Chaos Bolt so iconic.

I actually crafted this before seeing the new 2024 rules since I’ve been out of a campaign for over a year, so I only learned from @arberros_armory that Sorcerous Burst already exists. Happy to say this landed in its own space and isn’t just a copy. ---

Lesser Duplicate

Level 3 Conjuration (Paladin, Ranger, Warlock)

Why create a perfect copy of yourself when you can create... something more fun? This duplicate stumbles into existence as a strange paper-thin imitation, carrying warped proportions, awkward expressions, and the unjustified confidence of someone who absolutely believes they look identical to you.

💬 You never looked better... standing right next to it.

Mind Jab 1st-level Evocation | Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard (Optional: Artificer)

When an enemy lands that "perfect hit", Mind Jab lets you retaliate with a pulse of disruptive psionic energy that causes your attacker's nervous system to snap back on them. This spell, similar to Hellish Rebuke, is a defensive tool that turns your foes' own momentum against them.

Would you consider picking this spell over Hellish Rebuke, trading that additional fire damage for a more defensive option?

Withering Gaze 3rd-level Necromancy | Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard (Optional: Death Domain Cleric, Oathbreaker Paladin)

This spell unleashes a cone of necrotic energy from your eyes, a look that leaves flesh brittle and spirit thin. It is perfect for a warlock fueled by revenge, or even a fallen paladin. The spell also introduces a new condition for D&D 5e called "withered", that with your Dungeon Master's approval, could become an upgrade for your favorite necromancy spells.

Who in your party would cast this without blinking?

Hysteria & Mass Hysteria 3rd- & 6th-Level Enchantment | Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard (Optional: Cleric – Trickery/War Domain, Druid – Circle of Spores)

Need a little chaos on the battlefield? Hysteria and its terrifying big sister Mass Hysteria let you weaponize madness itself, compatible with both D&D 5e and D&D 2024 rules. The 3rd-level version sends one creature into a paranoid frenzy, lashing out at the nearest body, regardless it is friend or foe. But at 6th level, the madness spreads like wildfire, forcing entire groups into mindless violence.

Perfect for battlefield disruption, turning the tide of an encounter, or simply watching enemies turn on each other while you sip tea in the background. These spells ate great picks for Bards who thrive on manipulation, Warlocks with love for some psychological torment, or Circle of Spores Druids who want to infect minds as easily as bodies.

Would you add these spells to your spellbook and unleash mayhem in the nearest town square? Tag that chaotic player in your party that would LOVE these new spells!

Power Word: Barrier 2nd-level Abjuration | Bard, Cleric, Paladin, Wizard

I’ve always liked the concept behind “Power Word” spells, but we are missing some low-level options of them, as the first one requires a 7th level spell slot… Power Word: Barrier lets you bring that same energy into earlier tiers of play, a solid defensive alternative to classics like Shield of Faith or False Life in both D&D 5e and the new 2024 ruleset.

Would this make it into your spell list? Share this post with a "support" spellcaster who’d love this!
