Spell: Passwall ~ Level 5

conjuration, earth, magical, transmutation

  • Casting Time: 2 actions; Somatic and Verbal
  • Range: touch
  • Area: up to a 10-foot cube of plaster, wood, or stone
  • Duration: 1 hour per Proficiency Score (D)

You create a visible tunnel through the chosen area, replacing it with empty space. If the material is thicker than 10 feet, the tunnel ends 10 feet in. Even a small layer of metal in the wall prevents this spell from functioning. This spell does not reduce the integrity of a structure, so a ceiling, floor, or wall does not collapse even if it is load bearing. When the spell ends, anyone inside the tunnel is shunted to the nearest exit. Passwall is on the Arcane and Primal Spell Lists.

Heighten (+2): For each Spell Slot of the Heightened Spell Levels (7, 9), increase the area by an additional 10-foot cube along with additional security benefits.

Level 7 or 8 Spell Slot. The area increases to a 20-foot cube. You can set a password or trigger stimuli. The entrance and exit appear as normal except to True Seeing, those who know the password, or those who meet the trigger stimuli.

Level 9 Spell Slot and higher. The area increases to a 30-foot cube. The entrance and exit counts as solid material to everyone except yourself, those who know the password, or meet the trigger stimuli.
