When you finish a long rest, roll a d8. The number it rolls determines a language that you are proficient with Linguistics with until you finish a long rest, as shown below.

Any time you roll on the Wild Surge table, if you roll an odd number, you regain the use of this feature.

Your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a spell using 1 or more mana, roll a d6. If the result is less than or equal to the mana expended, roll on the Wild Surge table to create a random magical effect.

If the roll already has advantage or disadvantage, you cannot apply another instance of advantage or disadvantage and you must use this before the roll to cancel out any advantage or disadvantage.

As an action, an invisible sphere of wild magic twice as big as normal surrounds you. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.

Any spell cast from inside the sphere must roll on the Wild Surge table to create a random magical effect.

For each mana or 2 ki you expend, the elemental gains 1 mana or 2 stamina dice. The elemental is friendly to you and your companions, and it disappears when it drops to 0 health or when the spell ends.

Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

Roll a d8 for the direction: 1: north, 2: north-east, 3: east, 4: south-east, 5: south, 6: south-west, 7: west, 8: north-west. If the creature would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, it is shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that it can occupy and takes 4d6 force damage. A creature can’t be teleported to a space harmful to it, such as a body of lava or midair if it can’t fly.

As two actions, a shimmering, multicolored vortex of light forms at a point that you can see within 20 meters. The vortex is a cylinder centered on that point.

At the start of each of your turns if the vortex is within 20 meters of you, you can cause it to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move it up to 10 meters.

As two actions, a shimmering, multicolored plane of light forms a vertical opaque wall centered on a point you can see within 20 meters that lasts for the duration. The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and doesn’t need to be vertical or rest on any firm foundation.

The wall sheds bright light out to a range of 20 meters and dim light for an additional 20 meters. You and creatures you designate at the time you cast the spell can pass through and remain near the wall without harm. If another creature that can see the wall moves to within 4 meters of it or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute.

The wall consists of seven layers, each with a different color. When a creature attempts to reach into or pass through the wall, it does so one layer at a time through all the wall’s layers. As it passes or reaches through each layer, the creature must make a Reflex saving throw or be affected by that layer’s properties as described below.

The wall can be destroyed, also one layer at a time, in order from red to violet, by means specific to each layer. Once a layer is destroyed, it remains so for the duration of the spell. An antimagic field has no effect on a prismatic wall, but dispel magic can remove the violet layer.

1. Red. The creature takes 8d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. While this layer is in place, nonmagical ranged attacks can’t pass through the wall. The layer can be destroyed by dealing at least 25 cold damage to it.

2. Orange. The creature takes 8d10 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. While this layer is in place, magical ranged attacks can’t pass through the wall. The layer is destroyed by a strong wind.

6. Indigo. On a failure, the creature is slowed 2. A creature slowed by this spell must make another Fortitude saving throw at the end of each of its turns.

On a success, the slowed level is reduced by 1.

On a failure, the slowed level increases by 1. The spell ends if the slowed level is reduced to 0. If the slowed level reaches 4, the creature is turned to stone, no longer makes saving throws each turn, and is subjected to the petrified condition for the duration. Since this spell induces the process of becoming petrified, any effect that removes petrified apply to it.

While this layer is in place, spells can’t be cast through the wall. The layer is destroyed by bright light shed by a daylight spell or a similar spell of equal or higher level.

7. Violet. On a failure, the creature is blinded. It must then make a Fortitude saving throw at the end of each of its turns.

On a success, the blindness ends.
