You summon a spectral hand from the ether, glowing a faint red color with bolts of off-white light darting over its surface. Thanks to your experience with the Mage Hand cantrip, you have learned a combat-oriented variant of the spell, the Rage Hand. This hand shakes with a violent anger, lacking the dexterity of its vanilla counterpart, and cannot be used with the same levels of finesse. You are in control of the hand for the duration of the spell, capable of causing all manner of physical impacts. You are able to grab, pull, grapple, punch, and throw with the Rage Hand up to 30 feet, and are able to throw up to 80 feet with an object of 15 or less pounds, or 40 feet with an object over 16 to 30 pounds. Also capable of impacting magical beings such as ghosts and such.
Any attack made with just the Rage Hand is measured by 1d6 bludgeoning damage. It is also capable of wielding weapons meeting weight requirements (excluding bows), but all weapons that aren't able to be used one-handed weapons deal 2 points less damage. This can be mitigated by expending one of your spell slots to boost the potency of this cantrip.
Boosting the spell with any slot can be done in the same action as summoning the hand, and grants the following benefits:
- Doubled spell duration and a bonus per addition level above 1 (duration x 2 x spell slot level = New Duration)
- Elemental spells or items (fireball, water, poison, etc) can be added to the Rage Hand, allowing for the hand to take on an element or effect.
- Increased physical limits as well as +1d4 force to damage rolls per level
- Basic commands for duration (can act independent of user, but cannot function if damage sustained to user or to hand)
- Weight cap increased by 10 pounds for each level in all regards for the duration of spell + 1 pound permanently every 4th time used
