Skull of Secrets
4-level Abjuration
Casting Time 1 Minute
Range 60 feet
Duration Permanent
Components V, S
Choose an unoccupied point within range. In it,
you create an intangible, harmless illusion of a
floating, leering skull trailing black flames. The
skull has a flying speed of 40 feet, though it
cannot travel farther than 20 feet from its point
of origin.
When you cast the spell, you must specify
two conditions for the spell to be
triggered. The first condition activates a
message the spell speaks per the magic
mouth spell. The second condition
causes the skull to expel a 10-footlong jet of flame at the creature
which triggered the condition.
That creature must make a
Dexterity saving throw,
and takes 5d8 points of fire
damage on a failed save, or
half as much damage on a
successful one.
Note the conditions can be
equal, so that the skull
speaks its message while at
the same time firing its
flame. Once the trigger for
one condition has been
met, the skull will not
produce that effect again.
Once both triggers have
been met, the skull
disappears.
