ANTIMAGIC FIELD

Abjuration level 8

STANDARD

Casting Time 1 action
Range Self (10-foot-radius sphere)
Components V, S, M
Duration Concentration, up to 1 hour

A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can’t be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane.

Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you. Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can’t protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn’t function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.

Targeted Effects. Spells and other magical effects, such as magic missile and charm person, that target a creature or an object in the sphere have no effect on that target.

Areas of Magic. The area of another spell or magical effect, such as fireball, can’t extend into the sphere. If the sphere overlaps an area of magic, the part of the area that is covered by the sphere is suppressed. For example, the flames created by a wall of fire are suppressed within the sphere, creating a gap in the wall if the overlap is large enough.

Spells. Any active spell or other magical effect on a creature or an object in the sphere is suppressed while the creature or object is in it.

Magic Items. The properties and powers of magic items are suppressed in the sphere. For example, a +1 longsword in the sphere functions as a nonmagical longsword.A magic weapon’s properties and powers are suppressed if it is used against a target in the sphere or wielded by an attacker in the sphere. If a magic weapon or a piece of magic ammunition fully leaves the sphere (for example, if you fire a magic arrow or throw a magic spear at a target outside the sphere), the magic of the item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.

Magical Travel. Teleportation and planar travel fail to work in the sphere, whether the sphere is the destination or the departure point for such magical travel. A portal to another location, world, or plane of existence, as well as an opening to an extradimensional space such as that created by the rope trick spell, temporarily closes while in the sphere.

Creatures and Objects. A creature or object summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly reappears once the space the creature occupied is no longer within the sphere.

Dispel Magic. Spells and magical effects such as dispel magic have no effect on the sphere. Likewise, the spheres created by different antimagic field spells don’t nullify each other.

Components. A pinch of powdered iron or iron filings.

SPELL VARIANT #1

Casting Time 1 action
Range Self (10-foot-radius sphere)
Components V, S, M
Duration Concentration, up to 1 hour

A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can’t be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.

Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can’t protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn’t function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.
This spell variant works as the standard version, with the following enhancements:

• The sphere accumulates the magical energy of every spell it suppresses. When the spell ends, or the spellcaster decided to end it, this magical energy is discharged into a 100-foot radius explosion. The explosion deals 1d4 radiant damage.
  Spells. +1d4 radiant damage for each spell slot suppressed. Does not apply to spell’s with area effect.
  Magical Armors and Weapons. +1d4 radiant damage for each +1 magical bonus of the armor or weapon that enters the area of suppression.
  Permanent magical items. +1d4 radiant damage.
  Potions. All potions are immediately spoiled.
  Scrolls. All scrolls are immediately turned into dust.
• If the amount of damage die is the double of the spellcaster’s level, then the spellcaster has to use a full round to maintain the concentration. He will not be able to move or take any other action other than maintaining the concentration.
• If the amount of damage die is three times of the spellcaster’s level, then the spellcaster has to use a full round to maintain the concentration and must make a Wisdom saving throw every round. If the saving throw fails, then the spell ends immediately and the explosion will affect the spellcaster also.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the damage die is 1d6 instead of 1d4.

Components. Dried Eye of Beholder, Globe of Invulnerability (spell), Amber worth 100 gp, Cloak of Protection +1 or better (not consumed).
