Note: this spell only exists to parallel the version of Mage Hand sen in Baldur's Gate 3. It is not balanced for actual tabletop gameplay.
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can't activate magic items or carry more than 10 pounds, but can use an attack or the shove action. It uses your spell attack bonus and spellcasting ability modifier for the attack, which deals 1d6 force damage. It uses your spell save DC for the DC against the shove. The hand can also use 1-handed weapons, though it gets neither an attack bonus or a proficiency bonus.
At Higher Levels This spell can carry and additional 3 pounds and the damage of its attack increases by 1d6 at certain levels. Alternatively, you can forgo the bonuses and instead create more hands, which only increase the weight they can all carry by 3 pounds each. All hands are controlled at once and 2 can be used to grapple (using the same rules as a shove) or use a 2-handed item, following the same rules described above. The levels at which these increases happen are 5th level (13 lbs & 2d6, or 2 hands), 11th level (16 lbs & 3d6, or 3 hands), and 17th level (19 lbs & 4d6, or 4 hands). If you are 11th or 17th level, you can apply a lower bonus to 1 hand, assuming you aren't using either 1 or the maximum amount of hands.
