Darkness Spore
1-level Conjuration
Ritual - does not require spell slot, takes 10 minutes longer
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range/Area: 5 feet
Components: V, S, M
Materials: a non-magical mushroom, consumed
Duration: 1 hour
You create a 4-inch diameter orb of black mushroom
spores at a point of your choice within range. Until the
spell ends, a creature holding the orb can throw it like a
mundane object of its size or break it as an action. If
thrown, the orb breaks on contact with a creature or solid
surface. When the orb is broken, a cloud of thick spores
fills a 10-foot radius sphere around the point where it
broke. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is
heavily obscured. The cloud lasts for 1 minute or until a
wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per
hour) disperses it. The spell ends 1 minute after all the orbs
created by it are broken.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 3rd level or higher, you can create an additional orb for
every 2 slot levels above 1st. (2 at 3rd, 3 at 5th, 4 at 7th, 5 at
9th)
