1 bonus action

Self

V,S,M (something)

1 minute, concentration

You increase the strength of the weapons and armor you were born with. For the next minute, you can select fire, cold, necrotic, or radiant damage, and your natural weapons will deal an additional 1d8 damage of that damage type. In addition, your carapace hardens beyond it's natural level. Hard spikes jut from carapace, providing more protection. You gain +2 ac for the duration, and if you are hit with a melee attack, the attacker takes 1d4 piercing damage. 

Qiz'Riss' Monstrous Claws

2nd-level necromancy (maybe 3)

1 bonus action

Self

V,S

1 minute (conc)

To use this spell, you must have natural claw weapons, and target one of them with this spell. You send a surge of necrotic energy into your claw, causing it to contort and transform into a massive pincer. You can use your intelligence modifier when making attacks with these pincers. These pincers have a reach of 10 feet and damage of 2d8+int bludgeoning. When you successfully hit a target with this attack, you can use a bonus action to grapple them. The escape DC of this grapple is equal to your spell DC. 

Qiz'Riss' Quick Chrysalis

1st-level necromancy

1 reaction

Self

V, S

1 turn

As a reaction to taking damage, the user expels threads at a rapid rate, encasing them with webbing, and forming a protective shell around them. This cocoon has an AC of 10 + your intelligence bonus, and hit points equal to 5 + your spellcasting attack bonus.  The cocoon will take the initial damage*, whilst the shell is being formed. The user is incapacitated while inside of the cocoon. At the end of the user's next turn, the cocoon withers away, and the user is no longer incapacitated. If the cocoon is destroyed before their turn, they are able to take their turn as normal. The cocoon is vulnerable to fire damage, and immune to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage. This isn't bulletproof though; something humongous could apply bludgeoning damage through the cocoon to the innards due to sheer mass, or something like poison gas would still get breathed in. Generally though it would be immune to it.

If the cocoon is destroyed by damage, you take the rest of it.

When cast with a spell slot of 2 or higher, add 10 more hp to the cocoon per slot level.

*Psychic damage is not absorbed by the cocoon, but can still trigger this spell. .

Qiz'Riss' Amber Entombment

3rd-level necromancy 

1 action (ritual)

15 feet

V, S, M (tree sap)

3 turns

A drop of sap expands rapidly to coat a target. If it is an unwilling target, they must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target is entombed as the sap coating them rapidly hardens. The target is unconscious, though the amber shell now provides protection in their stead. The amber counts as an object with an AC of 15, and 15 health. If the amber is broken, the target regains consciousness at the start of their next turn (*or immediately). The amber has preservative properties to it, if the target is subjected to making death saving throws, their saving throws are delayed until the spell ends, or the amber breaks. 

When cast as a ritual, the amber can preserve things for longer periods of time. When used on a corpse, they receive the same benefits as if they had the Gentle Repose spell cast on them for 30 days.

When cast as a ritual on a willing, living creature, the target becomes unconscious and is preserved in amber for 14 days. While in this amber, the target does not suffer the effects of any poison, disease, or curse that may be afflicting them. Cracks form on the amber every day, and after 14 days, the shell shatters. When this happens, the target suffers a rank of exhaustion, as well as any other effects that may be afflicting them, whether it be a curse or poison. The life of an existing shell cannot be extended by any means.

At Higher levels: If cast with a higher spell slot, you add an additional 10hp to the amber shell per spell level. 

More brainstorming ideas: 

When cast with a level 7 (maybe 8/9) spell or higher: The caster can target themselves as a ritual, and preserve their life in amber. When cast this way, the target is entombed in amber for possibly years at a time, depending on the strength of nearby ley lines. The target is put into stasis within the amber, and can eventually awake in another era, as they were when they first entombed themselves. 

Qiz'Riss' Flensing Claws

1st-level Transmutation

1 action

Self

V, S

1 Hour 

When you cast this spell, your natural weapon claws sharpen to a fine point reminiscent of scalpels, allowing you the precision of your claws to gain the sharpness of a tool. When gathering materials than normally require a knife, you gather them at twice the speed of standard tools. In addition, your natural weapon attack gains the Finesse property. 

Unfortunately, due to the unwieldy nature of the claws, you must take more care when interacting with objects to not damage them. While this spell is active, you must spend a bonus action on your first item interaction per turn.

Qiz'Riss' Fleshmelt

2nd-level Necormancy (ritual)

1 minute

Touch

V, S

Target a corpse with this spell. Over the next 10 minutes, or throughout the casting duration if cast as a ritual, the flesh on the corpse will melt away into a puddle of sludge, producing around 10 pints of sludge. This sludge is a gnarly mixture of melted muscle tissue, blood, cartilage, and marrow. All that is left of the corpse is bone it's skeleton, if it has one, or any hard material not susceptible to acid. 

If given to a willing alchemist,  you can obtain useable materials from the sludge at your DM's discression. You can also cast animate dead on the sludge to create a slime zombie (MAYBE, IF MAC LIKES THE IDEA). While it is near impossible to collect the sludge from a puddle on the ground, it can be collected in a container such as a barrel.

2nd-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You breath temporary life into the corpse of a dead pest the size of a beetle or larger to detect precious metals, gems, and jewelry. If the pest has a shell, that shell gains a bright, golden sheen while this spell is active. 

The pest will crawl or fly to the closest piece of treasure it can smell within 60 feet. The pest's detection range can penetrate barriers but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of dirt or wood.

When it reaches a treasure that isn't held or worn by someone, then it will begin to make a mental ping to the caster, telling them which direction to go. If the pest goes out of 90 feet of the caster, it automatically collapses to the ground, and returns to being a corpse. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by 1 minute, and another 10 feet can be added to its range, for each slot level above 2nd.

Every time this spell deals necrotic damage, including the initial hit, the caster regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt, as they suck the lifeforce from their target. 

As an action, a creature affected by this spell or an ally nearby can remove the stirge and end the effect on themselves.

Qiz'Riss' Precise Pension (idk make a name) *on the back burner

2nd-level Evocation Spell

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60ft

Components: V, S

Duration: 1-3 turns

A spell created by a necromancer, using their utmost care so it doesn't backfire on them. However, unfamiliarity of the subject opposite your profession will never produce a perfect result. 

When you cast this spell, motes of erratic radiant light begin to encircle above the caster's head. For every turn spent concentrating, the motes increase in number. On your first turn of concentrating, there are 3 motes above your head. At the start of your second, there are 7. At the start of your third, there are 13. 

You cannot take actions or cast other spells while concentrating on this spell, besides taking an action to attack using this spell. When you do, target any number of creatures. Each mote turns into a dart of light, and hits the selected targets, dealing 1d4+1 radiant damage.  (Or, make a spell attack per mote, and increase damage to 1d8).

If you stop concentrating on this spell for any reason other than taking an action to attack with this spell, the instability of the radiant motes come to a head and they burst. The caster and every creature within 10 feet must make a constitution saving throw, or suffer 3d4 radiant damage and are blinded. The caster has disadvantage on this save.

Leyline Transmutation

2nd-level transmutation (ley)

Casting Time: 1 hour

Range: Touch

Components: V, S, M (sem-precious stone to be transmuted)

Duration: Instantaneous

When you've tapped into a leyline, you can transmute a semi-precious stone you hold in your hand into the semi-precious stone of equal value that corresponds to the leyline you're currently tapped into.

Semi-precious stones are any precious stone that aren't diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

Every semi-precious stone has a certain kind of geographic location and leyline corresponding to it. A leyline represents the point or line where the borders of two natural elements combine -- such as the elements of sky and earth forming a leyline along a spire, one reason wizards often build towers.

An onyx, for example, corresponds to volcanic areas and water. This can include sites of active volcanic sites with magma, heat vents, or sites of eruptions or where the land was transformed by the flow of pyroclastic material, such as an island in the sea. Knowledge of the surrounding geography and exploration of it is important to make the most of this spell.

Bind Lost Soul

1st-level necromancy (ritual)

Casting time: 1 hour, must complete casting at midnight

Range: 5 feet

Components: V, S, M (a skull and 20 gp worth of ground pearl, which the spell consumes)

Duration: Until destroyed

You bind a lost soul to a skull, creating a floating skull that serves you.

The floating skull appears in an unoccupied space within range. The skull acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it uses the same initiative as you. While the skull is within 60 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically, and you can see through its eyes with an action if you are within 30 feet of it. As an action, the Wizard can command it to use the Necrotic Slug action. 

 The skull has half of the hitpoints, rounding up, as the wizard who summoned it. When the skull drops to 0 it is destroyed and turns into a pile of dust. You can have up to three floating skulls bound to you with this spell. If you create another floating skull after that with this spell, a skull chosen by the DM is destroyed and turns into a pile of dust. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you can create more floating skulls at the same time; two floating skulls with a 3rd-level slot and three floating skulls with a 5th-level slot. You must prepare separate material components for each skull created this way.
