This spell allows you to draw iron or steel objects to yourself by projecting a magnetic ray. Choose one object within range that is nonmagical and made of ferrous metal. This object must weigh less than 40 lbs. If the object isn't being worn or carried, it immediately flies into your space, where you can either catch it with your hand (requiring no action) or let it fall at your feet. Using an action each round, you can target one object you can see within range of the spell with this effect. If an object you target with this spell is being held or carried by a creature, that creature must roll a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature drops the object, and it flies to your space, where you either catch it with your hand or let it fall at your feet. If the object is being worn by a creature (like a helm or a chain shirt), the creature makes the same Strength saving throw but has advantage on the roll. On a failure, the creature is pulled up to 60 feet towards you if it is Medium-size or smaller. If the item is secured in some way (such as being chained to a wall or tied down with a rope), but not being held or worn, you make an ability check to break the restraint, as if you were making a Strength check to break or burst whatever is securing it with your own hands. Instead of making a Strength check, you make a check with your spellcasting ability score (adding your proficiency bonus). If the check succeeds, you free the item and it flies to your space as described above. You can also attempt to move a metal creature that weighs less than your limit for this spell (such as a Tiny construct). The creature makes a Strength saving throw with advantage against this effect. If the save fails, you can move the creature toward you just as you would any other metal object. Until this spell ends, your ability to carry, lift, push, or drag any objects you have moved to your space with this spell is calculated as if you had a Strength score of 20 (giving you a carrying capacity of 300 pounds and allowing you to push, lift, or drag up to 600 pounds, if you are Small or Medium sized), unless your Strength if higher. If you move during the spell's duration, you can choose any object that you moved to your space with this spell which you are not carrying, lifting, pushing, dragging, or wearing to either move with you as you go (levitating just above the level of your feet) or remain in the square you moved it to. Once you move an object to your space with this spell, you have advantage on saving throws and opposed rolls against dropping it, and creatures seeking to move the item from your space have disadvantage on rolls to do so. When the spell ends, if you are holding, wearing, or carrying an object that is too heavy for you, it falls softly to the ground, landing harmlessly at your feet.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the weight limit of objects you can move with this spell increases by 10 pounds for each slot level above 3rd. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, you can choose up to two objects within range each time you use your action for this spell, instead of just one. If the spell slot is 7th level or higher, you can choose up to three objects instead.
