This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.
This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can't restore magic to such an object.

Posted Nov 15, 2023No, you can use Mending to fix the tear if you had the paper still. But it would not create a whole new page.

Posted Mar 25, 2024@GHSkub: The spell requires LODEstones not LOADstones. Lodestones are naturally occuring rocks with magnetic properties. They aint even listed as an item in DnD

Posted Mar 25, 2024Nope. Think of Mending like using Welding or Superglue to fix sth in real life. You can only recreate a state that has existed before. You can only mend things together, if all of the material is nearby.
The only way to mend a half eaten steak is to vomit the rest out - but half of your steak will be "chewy" and sogged in stomachfluids

Posted May 3, 2024That's just WotC not knowing they already used the term "loadstone" in one of their spells. They mean the hunks of magnetite, not the cursed magic items. You can get one online now for like five bucks, and the relative price would probably be even less in the game considering compass-making and parlor tricks were pretty much the only uses for them back then. If a quality medieval longsword now goes for a bit over $1,500 and the in-game price is 15 gold, then the price of the two loadstone for this spell would be about 10 copper or 1 silver.

Posted Sep 5, 2024So my player wants to use this to repair a sinking ship while it's going down. *sigh* Good luck!

Posted May 15, 2025Could someone please define 'break' in this context? A sword snapped in half is of course mendable, but what if that sword was also bent to a 90 degree angle? Would Mending only put the sword back together, or would it also fix the bend?
And does it work the same for a Spelljammer? Currently got a crashed Spelljammer where the landing legs have been badly bent before snapping, and would like some input on this.
