Spells
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you can grow larger or smaller for the duration. Everything you are wearing and carrying changes size with you. Any item dropped by returns to normal size at once.
Enlarge. Your size doubles in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases your size by one category—from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn’t enough room for you to double your size, you attain the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the spell ends, you have advantage on Athletics and Brawn checks and any weapon you wield grows to match your new size, dealing 1d6 extra damage.
Reduce. Your size is halved in all dimensions, and your weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases your size by one category—from Medium to Small, for example. Until the spell ends, you have disadvantage on Athletics and Brawn checks and any weapon you wield shrinks to match your new size, dealing 1d6 less damage (this can’t reduce the damage below 1).
Augment
You can increase the damage by 1d6 for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 1 additional mana so a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters grows larger or smaller instead. If the creature is unwilling, it must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or be affected by this spell. You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 1 additional mana to grow larger or smaller by one additional size.
Enlarge. You gain 10 temporary health and your reach increases by 1 meter.

Continued Invisibility. You can expend 1 additional mana to change the duration to 1 hour/mana.
Mislead. You can expend 1 additional mana to create an illusory double of yourself where you are standing when you turn invisible.
You can use an action to move your illusory double up to twice your speed and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.
You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were located where it is. On each of your turns as an action, you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again. While you are using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.
Misty Escape. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell as a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less. Change the duration to instantaneous.
