2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute per level
By casting this spell, you temporarily acquire the skill or proficiency of another creature. You must touch a creature that possesses the desired proficiency. The spell does not transfer the proficiency from the target, but instead allows you to gain its benefits as if you were proficient yourself.
- If the target is willing, the transfer occurs without resistance.
- If the target is unwilling, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to prevent the transfer.
Once you acquire the proficiency, you use it as if you were proficient in the same way as the original creature. For the duration, you use the target’s proficiency bonus and any additional modifiers (such as an ability modifier) that the proficiency would normally use.
Limitations:
- This spell only applies to skill or tool proficiencies; expertise or other abilities beyond proficiency (such as class features or innate talents) cannot be transferred.
- The spell does not grant you the target's knowledge or experiences; you gain only the mechanical benefits of the proficiency.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for every slot level above 2nd, acquiring one proficiency from each target.
