A spell crafted by the legendary bard Azazil Zariel, Azazil’s Astral Blades is a remarkable technique that channels mystical energy to transform three identical shortswords into ethereal extensions of the caster’s will. With a spoken incantation and a subtle gesture, you command these three blades to rise and take on an astral form, floating within range.
Once cast, each of these swords can independently attack a creature within 60 feet. The swords deal damage equivalent to their normal damage roll plus your spellcasting ability modifier. The astral blades are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances. On each of your turns while the spell is active, you can use a bonus action to command the astral swords to attack, dealing the weapon's damage plus any relevant modifiers.
The swords automatically return to your side if they exceed the range or the spell ends. Should any one sword be destroyed or lost, the spell immediately ends.
At Higher Levels:
When cast using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you may add an additional 1d4 force damage to each astral sword's attack for each level above 3rd.
Special Note:
While the spell is in effect, the caster must maintain concentration, and the caster cannot wield or use the original shortswords as they are used to sustain the astral blades.
