On a hit, the target takes 1d2 hot oil damage, and it can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the chili clings to the target.

Legend Bore: Name or describe a person, place, or object. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been widely known. But each time you attempt to relay this information, the listeners fall asleep.

Slight: You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds really dim light in a 2-foot radius

The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. You can use your action to control the hand, but only to open and leaf through books.

Bending: This spell manipulates and twists a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. It probably just makes it worse and you should have left it alone.

More earth: Choose an area of terrain no larger than 40 feet on a side within range. It becomes covered in dirt.

Pass without face: A veil of shadows and silence radiates from you, masking you and your companions from detection. Also, you have no eyes, ear, nose, or mouth, so getting around is a bit difficult. But no one can detect you, so there’s that.

Produce flume: A bubbling stream of water appears in your hand. The stream remains there for the duration and harms neither you nor your equipment. You can also attack with the stream, although doing so ends the spell. When you cast this spell, or as an action on a later turn, you can hurl the stream at a creature within 30 feet of you.

Steep: This spell sends creatures into a magical teacup. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell is trapped in the magic teacup until the spell ends, or it climbs out.

Spider limb: Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch gains four additional legs.

Stone shin: This spell turns the shins of a willing creature you touch as hard as stone. Until the spell ends, the target has resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage below the knees.

Wall of rice: You create a wall of rice on a solid surface within range. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 10 feet, or something like a sushi roll. In any form, the wall is 1 foot thick and lasts for the duration, but eventually gets hard and dry.

Wall of horns: You create a wall of trumpets, cornets, tubas, and euphoniums.

Barding Bond: This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates mystic armor for them, which unfortunately is made for an animal and doesn’t quite fit right, granting +1 to AC but disadvantage on all attack rolls.

Zone of Ruth: You create a magical zone in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Charisma saving throw or be named Ruth for 1d4 rounds.

Dish: Dish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires, and get whatever meal you want delivered within 30 minutes, or there’s no charge.
