Blade Storm

3rd-level transmutation (Ranger)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, M (a weapon that inflicts slashing or piercing damage)
  • Duration: 1 round

Once you cast this spell, your speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn. However, as part of the action used to cast this spell, you can choose any number of creatures within 5 feet of you and make one melee weapon attack against each one, making a separate attack roll for each target. Each melee attack must be made with a weapon that does not have the two-handed or heavy property.

If you are wielding two weapons (one in each hand) that both inflict piercing or slashing damage, for each of these melee attacks you choose which of the two weapons you use to make the attack. At the end of the turn, each creature you attacked as part of the action of casting takes magical slashing damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier, whether you hit or missed.

While this spell is active, if you have a weapon in each hand, until the start of your next turn, when a creature provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use a special reaction granted by this spell instead of making a normal opportunity attack. You use this special reaction to attack the provoking creature twice, once with each of your two weapons.
