Spell Analysis

In this article, we will be reviewing and analyzing four spells in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition: Arcane Lock, Hunger of Hadar, Shield Master, and Pass without Trace.

Arcane Lock

Arcane Lock is a powerful spell that creates a magical lock on a door or other object. It allows the caster to set a higher difficulty level for future attempts at unlocking the item, making it more challenging for others to succeed.

To cast Arcane Lock, the caster must make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against a DC of 15. If they fail, the lock remains in place and can only be opened by finding the correct combination or using a specific tool.

On the other hand, if the caster succeeds in setting the difficulty level, the lock is removed and the item can be unlocked without penalty.

Hunger of Hadar

Hunger of Hadar is a spell that manipulates the user's perception, making them see or hear things that aren't really there. It allows the caster to create illusions that can deceive even the most perceptive foes.

To cast Hunger of Hadar, the caster must make an Intelligence (Perception) check against a DC of 13. If they fail, their perception is impaired for one minute.

On the other hand, if they succeed in creating the illusion, it lasts for as long as the caster remains on the battlefield or within 5 feet of them.

Shield Master

Shield Master is a powerful spell that grants the user a defensive boost, making them more resistant to damage. It also allows them to create a protective barrier around themselves.

To cast Shield Master, the caster must make a Constitution saving throw against a DC of 12. If they succeed, they gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class for 1 minute.

On the other hand, if they fail, their armor class is reduced by 2 and they take 2 points of damage from any attack that hits them.

Pass without Trace

Pass without Trace is a spell that allows the user to become invisible in the wilderness. It also grants them advantage on Stealth checks for 1 minute.

To cast Pass without Trace, the caster must make a Wisdom saving throw against a DC of 10. If they succeed, they are invisible and can move through any terrain without being detected.

On the other hand, if they fail, their invisibility lasts for only 1 minute and they become visible in bright light or in areas with poor concealment.
