Bind Spell (Requires Attunement)
This enchantment imbues an object with magical spells. When the enchantment is made, the enchanter may choose any number of spells to bind to the item. The same spell can be bound multiple times for multiple uses per dawn, and spells can be applied at a higher level than their base spell level. Any spell bound to this item cannot have a casting time other than action, bonus action, or reaction. The attack bonus and spell save DC of bound spells is determined by the highest spell level bound to the enchanted object.
You can cast any spell bound to this object as an action (even if the spell has a casting time of a bonus action), or as a reaction if that is the spell’s normal casting speed. Once you cast a spell from this item, you cannot cast that spell again in this way until the next dawn. If a spell requires concentration, you must maintain concentration as normal to maintain the spell. If the spell has a cost indicated for a component, then you must have that specific component before you can cast the spell.
An item’s Bind Spell enchantment can be improved at any time with a new enchantment process to bind additional spells without overwriting previous bound spells. Regardless of how many spells are bound onto an item, this enchantment is always considered a single major enchantment.
The gold cost of a Bind Spell enchantment is based on the number of spells and their levels that are bound to the item, as seen in the table below. For example, binding a 1st-level and a 4th-level spell to an item would have an enchanting cost of 42.5 gp.
| Spell level | DC | Attack Bonus | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cantrip | 13 | +5 | 1 gp |
| 1st | 13 | +5 | 2.5 gp |
| 2nd | 13 | +5 | 5 gp |
| 3rd | 15 | +7 | 10 gp |
| 4th | 15 | +7 | 40 gp |
| 5th | 17 | +9 | 90 gp |
| 6th | 17 | +9 | 200 gp |
| 7th | 18 | +10 | 300 gp |
| 8th | 18 | +10 | 450 gp |
| 9th | 19 | +11 | 1000 gp |
| The way a specific bound spell behaves can be modified by spending extra gold during the enchantment process with the options provided below. Each of these effects increases the spell’s level for the purposes of calculating the gold cost of the enchantment (not for the actual casting of the spell). The number of spell levels added for this cost calculation is given in parentheses following the effect’s name. You can add multiple different effects to the spell, adding to the cost as appropriate. |
A spell’s effective level cannot be increased above 9th for the purposes of calculating its cost. For example, a 7th-level spell cannot be bound along with the Maximize Magic effect, since that would increase its effective level above 9th.
Maximize Magic. (+3 spell levels) Any dice rolled as an effect of the specified bound spell are maximized for the highest possible result. Quicken Magic. (+1 spell level) You may cast the specified bound spell as a bonus action instead of an action. Transmuted Magic. (+1 spell level) If the specified bound spell deals acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage, you may choose a different damage type within that list at the time of enchanting. Whenever the spell would deal damage of any of these damage types, it instead deals that much damage of the new type. Reach Magic. (+1 spell level) The specified bound spell’s range is tripled. A spell with a range of touch instead has a range of 60 feet. Extend Magic. (+1 spell level) If the specified bound spell has a duration, that duration is tripled.
The Bind Spell enchantment must be applied to an object which you hold in your hand, and must be held as you activate its effect. Alternatively you may opt to bind a spell to a piece of clothing or armor, but such spells may only target you or have their effects be centered on you. For example you could bind the spell darkness onto your armor, but if you do so, the spell can only be activated targeting the armor as the center of the spell’s effect.
You may attune to multiple items which hold this enchantment. If a spell has an effect that uses your spellcasting ability modifier (such as cure wounds) and you do not have a spellcasting ability modifier, you instead use your intelligence modifier.

Summon Monster (Requires Attunement)
This enchantment imbues an object with the ability to summon creatures from other planes. When the enchantment is made, the enchanter determines the associated creature type (aberration, beast, celestial, construct, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, giant, humanoid, monstrosity, ooze, plant, or undead), as well as the enchantment tier. The tier determines the gold cost of the enchantment, as well as how many creatures can be summoned, and at what challenge rating.
When you activate this enchantment as an action, you may summon a number of creatures up to a certain challenge rating based on the enchantment tier, as shown in the table below. The item can only summon creatures from a specific creature type, as chosen when the enchantment is made. The summoned creatures appear within 30 feet of you and share your initiative, taking their turns directly after yours, following your commands (no action needed) to the best of their abilities. A creature summoned in this way disappears after 1 hour, or until you lose concentration, or when it drops to 0 hit points, whichever happens first. Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until the next dawn.
This enchantment must be applied to an object which you hold in your hand, and must be held as you activate its effect. You may attune to multiple items which hold this enchantment.
For example, a necromancer wants to enchant their staff with the ability to summon undead creatures. So they spend 9,000 gp across the enchanting time period to create a staff of summon monster V, and they choose “Undead” as the creature type. The result is a magical staff which can be used to either summon one CR 4, two CR 2, three CR 1, or four CR ½ undead creatures once per dawn.
The nature of the summoned creatures are up to the enchanter and the GM to decide. Summoned demons might be enslaved by magic, summoned angels might be enticed to aid in righteous quests, and summoned humanoids might be shadowy apparitions slain by the enchanter in their past.
Specific Monster Summoning. If you are only interested in summoning a very specific type of monster, ask your GM about its challenge rating so that you may pick the correct tier and price.
Consumable Summons. As an alternative to the normal summon monster rules, the enchanter can choose to make the enchanted item a single-use consumable. The cost for this enchantment is 25% of the original gold cost. Once the enchanted object is activated, it is permanently destroyed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
