As an action, you can create a vial of yellow fluid that is streaked with a white cloudy liquid and swirls on its own. A creature can drink the contents as an action to cause adrenaline to rush through its body, causing it to be hasted 1 for the duration.

As an action, you can create a vial of rainbow liquid with a geometric shape suspended in it that continuously reforms into a different geometric shape. A creature can drink the contents as an action to look different until the effect ends or until it dismisses it (no action required). You decide what change the potion will illicit, including height, weight, facial features, sound of voice, hair length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics, if any. You can make the creature appear as a member of another species, though none of its statistics change. The creature also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than it, and its basic shape stays the same; if it’s bipedal, it can’t become quadrupedal, for instance.

You may alter any skin or facial features to be anything normally possible. Birthmarks, moles, tattoos, piercings, and other distinguishing features are not visible unless you specifically will it.

Augment

• You can expend 1 additional catalyst to disguise the creature as a specific individual, with the results depending on the details you know and have seen of the creature’s physical features as determined by the GM.

• Fragrant. You can expend 1 additional catalyst to alter the creature’s smell to blend in with creatures using the scent ability or creatures who identify individuals by pheromones or other chemical senses.

As an action, you can create a vial of red liquid that continuously contracts to a tiny bead and then expands to color the clear liquid around it. A creature can drink the contents as an action to grow larger or smaller for the duration.

Everything the creature is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once.

Enlarge. The creature’s size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one category—from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn’t enough room for the creature to double its size, the creature attains the maximum possible size in the space available. Until the effect ends, the creature has advantage on Athletics and Brawn checks and any weapon it wields grows to match its new size, dealing 1d6 extra damage.

Reduce. The creature’s size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category—from Medium to Small, for example. Until the effect ends, the creature has disadvantage on Athletics and Brawn checks and any weapon it wields shrinks to match its 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 catalyst expended.

• You can expend 1 additional catalyst to enlarge or reduce the creature’s size one additional step.

  Enlarge. The creature gains 10 temporary health and its reach increases by 1 meter.

Augment

• You can increase the healing by 3d4 for each additional catalyst expended.

• Major Regeneration. You can expend 2 additional catalyst to increase the healing by 2d4 and stimulate major natural healing. The duration changes to 1 minute/catalyst and for the duration of the effect, the creature regains 1 health at the start of each of its turns (10 health each minute).

  The creature’s severed body members (fingers, legs, tails, and so on), if any, are restored after 2 minutes. If the creature has the severed part and hold it to the stump, the effect instantaneously causes the limb to knit to the stump.

As an action, you can create a vial of liquid that continuously changes color and smell, rotates through religious and arcane symbols, jumps up and down within its container, and suddenly vanishes. A creature can drink the contents as an action to deepen its understanding of its own talent. It become capable, or proficient if it is already capable, in one skill of its choice until the effect ends.

Augment

You can expend 1 additional catalyst so the creature becomes proficient if it isn’t already capable.

As an action, you can create a vial of liquid with a grasshopper’s hind legs suspended in it. A creature can drink the contents as an action to increase its speed by 2 meters and have advantage on Athletics checks to jump until the effect ends.

As an action, you can create a vial of fluid that smells like the smeller’s favorite meal, but tastes like paper. A creature can drink the contents as an action to receive enough sustenance to satisfy its solid and liquid nourishment needs for a day.

A creature can drink the contents as an action so their body automatically adapts to hostile environments. The creature can adapt to underwater, extremely hot, extremely cold, or airless environments, allowing it to survive as if it were a creature native to that environment. The creature can breathe and move (though penalties to movement and attacks, if any for a particular environment, remain), and it takes no damage simply from being in that environment. You need not specify what environment the potion is adapting to when you create this concoction; simply activate it, and the creature’s body will instantly adapt to any hostile environment as needed throughout the duration.

The creature can somewhat adapt to extreme environmental features such as acid, lava, fire, and electricity. Any environmental feature that normally directly deals 1 or more dice of damage each round deals the creature only half the usual amount of damage.

As two actions, you can create a vial of liquid that smells and tastes like the inside of a cave. A creature can drink the contents as an action so its skin receives sensory inputs, allowing it to feel light and sound. Its face must be uncovered to use this effect, as the skin of its face acts as the sensory receiver. It gains blindsight out to a range of 5 meters. If it already has blindsight, its range increases by 5 meters.

As a reaction, which you use when you make a Reflex saving throw or you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less that you can see, you can shrink in size to avoid the attack. You make the roll with advantage or attacks made against you are made with disadvantage until the start of your next turn, including the triggering attack. You can do so after the roll but before any effects of the roll occur.

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.

You can then move up to 2 meters without provoking opportunity attacks.

The target can also spend 1 meter of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target’s movement or attacks.

As two actions, your body automatically adapts to hostile environments. You can adapt to underwater, extremely hot, extremely cold, or airless environments, allowing you to survive as if you were a creature native to that environment. You can breathe and move (though penalties to movement and attacks, if any for a particular environment, remain), and you take no damage simply from being in that environment. You need not specify what environment you are adapting to when you cast this spell; simply activate it, and your body will instantly adapt to any hostile environment as needed throughout the duration.

You can somewhat adapt to extreme environmental features such as acid, lava, fire, and electricity. Any environmental feature that normally directly deals 1 or more dice of damage each round deals you only half the usual amount of damage.

As two actions, your skin receives sensory inputs, allowing you to feel light and sound. Your face must be uncovered to use this spell, as the skin of your face acts as the sensory receiver. You gain blindsight out to a range of 5 meters. If you already have blindsight, its range increases by 5 meters.

As two actions, you can divide yourself, creating a duplicate that comes into existence 1 meter away. Your duplicate thinks and acts exactly as you do and follows your orders, although it will not do anything you wouldn’t do yourself. Your duplicate has all your abilities but none of your magical equipment (it does possess a duplicate of all your mundane equipment, clothing, armor, and implements, as well as mundane versions of any magical equipment you have). Your duplicate has all other physical traits you had at the time you cast this spell. Spells or other effects affecting you when you cast this spell do not transfer to your duplicate. Your duplicate has the same amount of health you did at the time this spell was cast.

Your duplicate can move and use actions as normal. It can cast spells, using up to 2 mana per spell. The mana is removed from your mana.

As two actions, or when the duration expires, you and your duplicate rejoin, no matter how far from each other you are. At the time of rejoining, your health become the average between the health of you and your duplicate.

If you or your duplicate dies before the duration expires, no rejoining occurs. You take full control of the still living creature and you become exhausted 1 and you have disadvantage on skill checks for 10 minutes.

If you cast this spell again, the effect of another fission spell on you ends. You cannot use fusion with a duplicate, or share any other spell or effect that pools abilities (the sum of you and you is still just you). Similarly, attempting to use spells and effects such as life drain to hurt your duplicate only damages your duplicate; these spells and effects do not heal you.

All beneficial spells affecting a fissioned creature, either the original or the duplicate, end when the fission ends.

Any detrimental spells affecting your duplicate end when the duration ends, unless you die and your duplicate survives, in which case any detrimental effects continue.
