Command 700 New Spells for Fifth Edition
No matter how you slice it, magic is at the heart of fantasy–and nothing says magic like a massive tome of spells. Full cover hardcover is the ultimate sourcebook for new and variant magic in any fantasy setting, offering over 300 full-color pages.
This tome collects, updates, tweaks, and expands spells from years of the Deep Magic for Fifth Edition series–more than 700 new and revised spells. And it adds a lot more:
- 19 divine domains from Beer to Mountain and Speed to Winter
- 13 new wizard specialties, such as the Elementalist and the Timekeeper
- 6 new sorcerous origins, including the Aristocrat and the Farseer
- 3 otherworldly patrons for warlocks, including the Sibyl
- expanded treatments of familiars and other wizardly servants
- bizarre features found in a wizard’s workshop or tower
- and much more!
This tome is not just for wizards, warlocks, and sorcerers. Deep Magic also expands the horizons of what’s possible for bards, clerics, druids, and even rangers and paladins. It offer s something new for every spellcasting class.
With these new spells and options, your characters (or your villains) can become masters of special forms of spellcasting such as winter magic, chaos magic, and shadow magic. Seek out hidden colleges and academies of lost lore. Learn new runes, hieroglyphs, and cantrips to break down the walls of reality, or just bend them a bit.
Deep Magic contains nothing but magic from start to finish!

James –
I guess if I had to summarize my findings I’d say that this book’s spells are filled with a mix of proofreading and balance problems.
Either ignoring or just not understanding 5th edition mechanics.
It has a lot of spells with unclear or vague text.
The spells are not balanced for their level
There are at least 140 spells that to me are clearly underpowered or clearly overpowered for their level (and not by a little)
There are another 83 spells that are on the edge of being called either of these.
It uses terminology that is not used in 5E (spellcasting level, caster level, and move action).
Some spells are excessively complicated, require too many rolls, or require too much bookkeeping
