Guardian Beast lets you imbue an allied beast or familiar with divine purpose, turning your animal companion into a sacred sentinel. While it holds its ground, nearby allies benefit from magical protection against the forces of evil (and good!) and any creature creeping up on it with ill intent had better make their saving throw, or you'll know exactly where they are. It can also shoot radiant beams from its eyes, which is neat.
A Place of Shades wraps a creature in a sensory void: it can't see, hear, or make a sound, and as far as everyone else is concerned, it simply isn't there. This essentially removes target off the battlefield entirely for as long as you can hold concentration. Particularly satisfying against spellcasters, who will find themselves unable to cast anything with a verbal component while trapped in their own personal silence.
Dreamsilk Strand conjures a length of ethereal spider silk that only you can touch and manipulate, everyone else phases right through it. It sticks to any surface, supports objects up to a thousand pounds, and can be shot from your palm like a grappling hook. Its more niche application is wrapping unconscious or incapacitated creatures in the rope to lull them into magical sleep, which makes it the go-to spell for anyone whose plan involves knocking out the guards and keeping them that way while you ransack the place.
Gorgon's Gaze is a prolonged staring contest with increasingly bad consequences for the loser. Lock eyes with a creature, force it to make a Constitution save, and if it fails it's restrained. It has to keep saving every turn or turn to stone entirely. Breaking eye contact rolls back the effect one stage, so as long as you hold the gaze, the pressure keeps building. However, cast at 6th level instead of 4th lets you you skip the buildup and go straight to petrification.
Overall, it’s a cool selection of spells that you can use to freshen up your players’ spellbooks, give your monsters some neat extra abilities, or enhance items of your choice. Everything is fully integrated and available to all patrons!
