A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, dim light fills the cylinder.
When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can’t assume a different form until it leaves the spell’s light.
On each of your turns after you cast this spell, you can use an action to move the beam up to 60 feet in any direction.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.

Posted May 21, 2022I have a DM that is picky about spell components. What are some "moonseed plants". And is opalescent feldspar common?

Posted Jun 30, 2022Yes but no, if casted on a creature the creature would not take damage or have to roll till their turn. "Or starts its turn" means that.

Posted Jul 20, 2022Clarification; "When a creature enters the spell’s area for the first time on *A* turn or starts its turn there". So you can RAW push enemies into it or otherwise move them on any turn into the beam to deal the damage twice or more per round.... doing it multiple times however involves the whole party built around this so, kinda rare.

Posted Aug 20, 2022Double dipping on the damage is the entire point of the spell. You're forcing the target to decide whether to move and maybe take the extra damage when you move the moonbeam back on it, or to stay where it is and only take moonbeam once a turn. It's a tiny aoe and it takes your whole action to move it. It's a strong spell, for sure, but it's not broken.

Posted May 29, 2023I know there's nothing that says this spell has to be cast outside, but would it make sense to rule that it has to be with the moon in sight, or at least a visible sky? New to dming

Posted Aug 21, 2023You can definitely make that a house rule if you want it to be, but nothing in the spell requires it to be cast outside, nor with the moon being visible.
If you do want to make that a rule for your game, be sure to let your players know before they pick the spell, or you'll likely have an argument on your hands about those requirements not being in the spell description.

Posted Oct 24, 2023Nah, I'd say no, because the creature isn't entering its area. It's more like the beam enters the creatures area, if that makes sense.
