Prismatic Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage or 12 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage if wielded with both hands, plus 6 (2d8) damage of any type.

Distort Gravity. Bahlen distorts the relative gravity either in the sphere as a whole or in up to to 15 foot cubes within the sphere, choosing to either increase or decrease it. If increased, each creature in the area must make a DC 15 strength saving throw or fall prone and be unable to get up. A creature has disadvantage on this saving throw if they are wearing heavy armor or holding a heavy weapon. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the start of each of their turns. If decreased, each creature’s jump distance is tripled, and creatures that hit the ground in this area don’t suffer falling damage.

Distort Time. Bahlen distorts the relative time either in the sphere as a whole, or in up to three 30 foot cubes within the sphere. Every creature inside the effected area is under the effects of either the haste or slow spells.

Description

Archmages are powerful (and usually quite old) spellcasters dedicated to the study of the arcane arts. Benevolent ones counsel kings and queens, while evil ones rule as tyrants and pursue lichdom. Those who are neither good nor evil sequester themselves in remote towers to practice their magic without interruption. An archmage typically has one or more apprentice mages, and an archmage's abode has numerous magical wards and guardians to discourage interlopers.
