Thousands Shadow Hands

Conjuration School – Level 6 – Forbidden

Type: Quick Spell, using a Bonus Action

Reach: 120 feet

Duration: 10 minutes

Effect: You conjure a black mass made of thousands of shadow arms and hands.

When you cast this spell, you can use 1 of the following effects with the Hands:

• Make 5 Ranged Attacks within reach. On a hit, you deal 1d6 psychic damage and that target must then succeed on an Insight Save, or become Scared of you for 1 turn.
• Choose 1 point within reach. All creatures of your choice within 30 feet of that point must succeed on a Brawling Save, or become Contained and Immobilized for 1 turn.
• The Hands protect you. You are considered to be in Full Cover until the start of your next turn. A creature within 5 feet of you can use 1 Action to make an Athletics Save to create an opening, breaking the Cover on a success.

While this spell lasts, you can use your Bonus Action to use the Thousand Hands again.

Curse: A dark entity possesses one of your hands, causing it to occasionally move by itself. Before you make a Sleight of Hand Check, you must succeed on a Persuasion Save (DC 15) to avoid your hand from being possessed. On a fail, you automatically fail any Sleight of Hand Checks for the next hour as that hand starts moving by itself.
