Weird New Spells: Warmup Round: Brandes Stoddard (opens in new tab)

I haven’t done any D&D spell design in… well, quite a lot longer than is normal for me, but I’m about to jump back into it for a paid project, so I thought you might enjoy seeing my warmup round. The fact is, though, 5e has an incredibly rich back catalogue of spells already. This is why I do a lot of high-level spell design: it’s difficult, but there are a lot fewer existing creations.
