Spells Dragon Age D&D

This section contains a list of all spells presented in Green Affliction Hex Bane
Ronin's Dragon Age RPG. Many of these are based on their
Animate Dead Animate Dead
counterparts in the Dragon Age videogames but a number
of these were created specifically for the tabletop RPG. The Anti Magic Burst Dispel Magic
following table has the listed spell from the Dragon Age Anti Magic Ward Resistance/Sanctuary
RPG and its closest D&D equivalant. Where no
comparable spell exists I have either created a new spell, Arcane Shield Mage Armour/Shield
which is presented further on, or chosen to not include it Aura of Might Bless
(usually due to it relating to system specific mechanics).
Blizzard Ice Storm
Restricting & Altering Spells Blood Sacrifice New Spell
As menioned in the above section Magic, there are some Blood Slave Dominate Person
things that magic in Thedas simply cannot do. Below is a Blood Wound New Spell
list of spells that are recommended to remove from the list
Chain Lightning Chain Lightning
of available spells for characters. You are of course free to
ignore these restrictions. Cone of Cold Cone of Cold
Many of these restricted spells could very easily be used Crushing Prison Forcecage
as plot devices and as core elements of adventures or even
campaigns. Magic in Thedas is still somewhat unknown Curse of Mortality Bestow Curse/Contagion
and a Mage seeking to discover one of these restricted Daze Power Word Stun
spells could become the centrepiece for a games antagonist
Death Cloud Cloudkill
or even the drive for a player character.
However you choose to handle the use of these spells in Death Hex Bestow Curse
your campaign, it is recommended that these spells be Death Magic New Spell
ritual only.

Time Stop. The spell appears on the Restricted spell Ensnare Entangle
list. However, in Dragon Age: Inquisition it is revealed that
Gereon Alexius, a Tevinter Magister, uses magic to Entropic Cloud Holy Aura
manipulate time to allow him to travel great distances in a Fade Shield Blur
short space of time. This means that there is precedenct in
Fireball Fireball
the Dragon Age lore for the manipulation of time but it
shoul dnot be readily available to all spellcasters. Fist of the Maker New Spell
Flame Blast Burning Hands
The Planes
Many spells in the Player's Handbook reference the planes, Flaming Weapons Elemental/Magic Weapon
such as the Astral Plane, or Elemental Plane. A number of Force Field Otiluke's Resilient Sphere
these are on the restricted spell list but if you wish to
Frost Weapons Elemental/Magic Weapon
include them in your game you can simply change the
plane that they reference to The Fade. Glyph of Neutralisation Antimagic Field
Glyph of Paralysis Glyph of Warding (Hold Person)
Conjure Beings Glyph of Preservation Gentle Repose
A lot of spells in the Player's Handbook summon Glyph of Repulsion Thunderwave
creatures from other planes. Rather than place all
of these spells on the Restricted spell list and Glyph of Sealing Arcane Lock
potentially weaken certain spellcasters, I have left Glyph of Warding Glyph of Warding
them on the available spell list. It is up to you
how you handle the explaination for these spells. Grease Grease
The creatures may be magical manifestations and Group Heal Mass Healing Word
not actually real, they may be spirits summoned
from The Fade who take different forms, or they Hallucination Hypnotic Pattern
could be creatures that occur naturally (such as Haste Haste
sprites) who are drawn to serve the caster.

can see within range to replenish your own health.
Creatures without blood (such as elementals) cannot be
targeted in this way. The creature rolls 1d10 and takes
damage equal to the result, and you regain hit points equal
to the damage taken + your spellcasting ability modifier.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage can increase by 1d10
for each slot level above 2nd.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You begin to make the blood of those around you boil,
causing excruciating pain in an aura with a 15-foot radius.
Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on
you. When a creature enters the aura for the first time on a
turn or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or take 3d6 necrotic damage,
and be incapacitated until the end of its next turn. A
creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as
much damage and isn’t incapacitated.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 4th.

Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You draw upon the residual life force of the dying to

expend one of your Hit Die to heal a number of hit points
equal to the result plus your spellcasting ability modifier.

use increases by 1 for each slot level above 2nd.

your spellcasting ability modifier.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the number of Hit Dice you may
use increases by 1 for each slot level above 3rd.

Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a handful of dried rose petals and
bone shavings from an undead creature)
Duration: Permanent
By tracing mystic glyphs over any single piece of non-
living organic material, you speed up the natural process of

type. This includes spell attacks and magical weapons.

damage type for each slot level above 1st.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S

5d6 force damage and is knocked prone on a failed save, or
half as much damage and not knocked prone on a
successful one.

slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 3rd.

succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You summon a small wisp that floats near you for up to
an hour and boosts the power of your spells. While the
wisp is aiding you, you gain a +1 bonus to your spell attack
bonus and spell save DC. The wisp itself is insubstantial
and cannot be attacked or touched.

Thought-Taking
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute per question
This spell allows a mage to probe deep into a living
creature’s thoughts, uncovering their deepest secrets,
desires, and fears. You must touch the creature and
concentrate for one minute, during which time the target
makes a Wisdom saving throw. If the target succeeds, you
fail to penetrate their mind and they are immune to the
effects of this spell for 24 hours. On a failed saving throw
you can ask the creature up to five questions that it must
answer truthfully. The target knows only what it knew prior
to the spell, including the languages it knew, therefore you
must share a language with the creature. Answers are
usually brief or repetitive. The spell is often quite painful
for the target even though it deals no actual damage.

Walking Bomb

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet

disease)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

corrosive poison. The target of the spell musy make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save the target takes
2d6 acid damage, and on each of your turns for the
duration, you can use your action to deal 2d6 acid damage
to the target automatically. The spell ends if you use your
action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target
is ever outside the spell's range or if it has total cover from
you. Should the spell’s damage reduce the target’s hit
points to 0, it explodes in a spray of blood, flesh, and bones.
Anyone within 10 feet of the exploding victim takes 2d6
necrotic damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the initial damage increases by
1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
