A fool pulls the leaves. A brute chops the trunk. A sage digs the roots.
The Great Wheel cosmology is the actual physical arrangement of existence where one can simply walk from the Material region across an Elemental region right into Avernus and climb stairs to the remaining 8 Hells if they so wished. (I imagine the entirety of existence in D&D will become significantly homogenized in a millennium or two without those paranormal/metaphysical boundaries. Trade routes with the Twin Paradises. Diplomatic parties with Demogorgon and Bahamut. Ugh. So civilized.)

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Causes a dense swarm of tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans to appear. If cast underwater, the swarm creates a circle of heavy obscurement with a 40 foot radius. If cast on land, they fall to the ground in the same radius and don't do much other than die, at which point you have the choice of either eating them (raw or cooked) or they'll start to rot and the whole area will smell like rotten seafood for weeks. If summoned underwater, there's a 10% chance of a flock of 5d10 penguins, 1d6 crabeater seals, or one blue whale appearing and eating the swarm.

Clarify: Your body becomes defined to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has advantage on attack rolls against you. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn't rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.
I had a character of that subclass. Thomias of the Hu.
To prepare spells, the player must memorize the spell's description completely and recite all the information upon casting. If they get any detail wrong about the spell, including the exact wording in the latest official errata of the edition, the spell fails.

Starry Foresight: You may cast Augury one per short rest with this ability
Constellation: After finishing a long rest, you may choose one of the following constellations to appear on your body. This lasts until your next long rest
Chalice: You have a constellation of a goblet on you. When you cast a spell that restores hit points, you or another creature within 30 feet regains hit points equal to your level
Archer: A constellation of an archer is on you. As a bonus action, you may make a ranged spell attack, hurling a luminous arrow that targets a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the attack deals radiant damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier. Wisdom is your ability score for this attack
Dragon: A constellation of a wise, dragon is on you. When you make an Intelligence or a Wisdom check or a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.
A Starry Form Ranger with archery focus is a shooting star?
A Starry Form Geologist is a rock star?
A Starry Form Nomad is on a star trek?
Does the constellation of Orions' Belt make them a waist of space?
Can a Starry Form enter a 5-star Inn if they have 6 stars?
A Starry Form Druid wild-shaped into a Wolf is a dog star? (Why so Sirius?)

You get +3 to attack and damage rolls with this enormous magic greatsword. Additionally, it does 4d6 damage instead of the usual 2d6.
Curse: While attuned to this sword, people have a tendency to point and whisper to each other when they see you, and you suffer disadvantage and a -5 penalty on all charisma checks and saving throws as you are continually plagued with insecurities about being unable to measure up.

Summon dirt: uses a ninth level spell slot and summons a pile of dirt three feet above your head. You have two seconds to dodge the dirt.
I'm just... you know... friendly... possibly evil necromancer...

+3 sword of poor luck
All attack rolls are made with advantage with this magical weapon. Rolls that are below the AC hit, and rolls above the AC always miss.
