For questions about specific manifestations of magic that we generically call "spells." Use the [magic] tag for more generic questions about magic, and [spellcasting] for questions specifically about the process of spellcasting.

On casting 'Imprisonment / Chaining', on changing &/or non-stable surfaces - where, where do...

The spell does what it says, and it doesn't mention the chains having a maximum range-to-ground, so it seems to me that the chains would reach all the way to the actual ground, whether that's within t …

The Hand from Maximillian's Earthen Grasp - where can it move?

Range is defined from your current location, so if you move, your ability to affect creatures or locations 'in range' will also change. First off, the hand doesn't 'follow' a target. It reaches for …

If you Command ("grovel") a creature that is already under the effect of Confusion, what hap...

There are strong arguments in both directions, depending on how you read the spells: If you read command as forcing the creature to follow your order with a degree of intentionality (as it has to hear …

What are the mechanical effects of the Sequester spell, in terms of perception and the abili...

Jeremy Crawford ("Sage Advice") has said several times that if something isn't a game term, it should be interpreted as normal English in the most obvious way. "Suspended animation" and "time cease …

Can I slam someone into Tenser's Floating Disk?

Don't confuse narrative with mechanics. If you want to use your hands to deal damage to another character, you're making an unarmed strike and should calculate the damage as such (usually 1+STR bludge …

What is the point of the "Grasping Undergrowth" effect of the spell Druid Grove?

It's probably a mistake. You're correct -- difficult terrain is functionally the only effect you're going to get out of this, and is strictly inferior to Solid Fog. But that's actually pretty strange. …

Cloudkill and floor holes: how do they interact?

The cloudkill spell creates a "20-foot-radius sphere [...] centered on a point you choose within range", spreads around corners, and moves 10 feet away from you at the start of each of your turns, ro …

What degree of autonomy is allowed to a target-victim of the spell Imprisonment / Chains?

It doesn't say they can't cast spells, but I would probably say they can't cast any spell with a somatic or material component since their hands are bound, which limits them pretty heavily. …

How can a group find out how to break Imprisonment?

The players could use divination spells like legend lore (their own, or cast by a friendly NPC) to look back into the past and find out what condition was set at the time of the casting, potentially letting … was present at the time but is not included in the imprisonment -- you might need to go on a quest to locate whatever hero, villain, monster, or vault now has Mario's magical hammer, and then use your spells

Is escaping from a cage-shaped Forcecage really as ridiculously easy as it seems?

There are many such pairs of spells where one can specifically counter another. …

Does a drawn Teleportation Circle remain after it has been used?

Frankly, this is up to the DM. The books are silent on whether there is anything left of consumed material components when a spell completes. My assumption would be that while there may be traces lef …

Can the spell immovable object be used to carry very heavy things?

My interpretation is no. The way I read that is when you move the object, you effectively ignore the spell's immovability effect and must deal with the object's normal weight, including the normal wei …

Can two spells with AOEs intersect each other?

There's no rule against overlapping or intersecting areas of effect Zones can overlap, and the rules for both apply. Generally the same spell can't affect you twice, so overlapping two castings of the …

Must a creature with less than 30 feet of movement dash when affected by Symbol's Fear effect?

The spell requires you to move if you can do it, whatever it takes. If the spell had intended to say "You must move your speed away from the symbol", then it would have said that. Since it doesn't say …

To maximize a combo with True Strike, which is the most damaging spell with attack roll?

But that said, even a guaranteed hit with an Inflict spell doesn't stand up to just using one of the upper tier spells. … If raw damage output is your goal, and you have 9th level spells available, a Meteor Swarm that the target saves against is still going to deal nearly 50% more damage than hitting with an Inflict. …
