You summon lesser fey spirits that take the form of tiny beasts in so great a number as to be a swarm and appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. Choose one of the following options for what appears:
- One beast type swarm of challenge rating 2 or lower
- Two beast type swarm of challenge rating 1 or lower
- Four beast type swarm of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
- Eight beast type swarm of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
Each Swarm is also considered fey, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. The summoned swarms share the summoners initiative and go after them. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
The GM has the creatures' statistics. Sample creatures can be found below.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more creatures appear: twice as many with a 6th-level slot, and three times as many with a 8th-level slot.
Sample Creatures
| CR | Creature Name |
| 1/4 | Swarm of Bats, Swarm of Rats, Swarm of Ravens |
| 1/2 | Swarm of Insects, Swarm of Rot Grubs |
| 1 | Swarm of Quippers |
| 2 | Swarm of Maggots |
