Calder's Starry Sky
2nd-level divination
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (an unblemished silver mirror worth at least 50 gp, which is not consumed)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour per level
This spell creates a magical projection of the night sky, showing the correct positions of stars for navigation. The starry display appears in a 30-foot radius centered on a point within range, up to 10 feet above the caster or projected onto a surface such as a ceiling. The display is accurate to the stars' positions for the current time and location, regardless of weather conditions or obstructions like clouds or storms.
Effects and Uses:
- Navigators can use this magical star field to maintain their bearings and travel even during cloudy nights or stormy days.
- The stars can be projected indoors, such as within a ship's cabin or a building, for decorative purposes or study.
Limitations:
- The spell fails if cast outdoors on a clear, cloudless day, as the actual stars are already visible.
- The spell does not provide illumination and cannot be used to light dark areas. It is purely a visual aid for navigation or aesthetic purposes.
At Higher Levels. When cast using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the range and area of effect increase by 10 feet per slot level above 2nd.
