A list of spells I made for a prior 5e campaign, in which 3 out of the 5 party members were playing Wizards.
- Cylix’s Grim Whisper:
- Necromancy cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S

- An eldritch whisper fills the air around the target. The target must make a wisdom saving throw or become distracted by the whispers. Any attacks made against the distracted creature may add 1d4 to their roll.
- Cylix’s Rend Flesh:
- 2nd-level Necromancy (ritual)
- Casting Time: 1 minutes
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a medium sized of jar and a single maggot, consumed upon casting)
- You touch a corpse or other remains of a huge sized creature or smaller. Over the course of 5 minutes after, the flesh of the corpse begins to rapidly remove itself from the corpse, becoming a putrescent, fleshy slime of blood, muscle and viscera. This slime has the stats of a “Larva”, but counts as an undead. The slime will enter the provided jar, and after 1d4 hours degrade into a pool of blood.
- The left behind corpse is stripped of all blood and flesh leaving behind a fresh, cleaned skeleton.
- Cylix’s Rain of Bones:
- 2nd-level Necromancy

- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
- Cylix’s gilded wrath:
- 3rd level Necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (6 skeletal vertebrae)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- The six vertebrae used to cast this spell are wreathed in green and gold flame. They float in the air and orbit the casters neck for the spell’s duration. When you cast the spell — and as a bonus action on each of your turns thereafter — you can expend one or two of the vertebrae, sending them streaking toward a point or points you choose within 60 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit the target takes 2d4 necrotic damage, and the target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to half of the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0
- At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the number of vertebrae increases by two for each slot level above 3rd.

- Components: V, S, M (a skull with at least 50gp worth of gold inside it)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.
- The skull consumed in the casting of this spell sprouts into a gilded skeleton that hisses madly. The skeleton has the same stats as a standard skeleton, and is under the control of the caster.
- When the spells duration is complete, when the skeleton is destroyed, or as a bonus action from the caster the skeleton explodes. Each creature in a 15ft radius must make a constitution saving throw or take 6d6 points of necrotic damage
