Lion’s Roar

4-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self

Components: V, S, M

Materials: some burnt hair

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You conjure a roaring lion’s head made of writhing flame that moves with you, wielding it like an extension of your body for the duration. When you conjure the lion and as a bonus action on your subsequent turns, you can cause one of the following effects with it.

Fiery Maw. The lion bites a creature or object within 30 feet of you. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, it takes 4d6 fire damage.
Flaming Mane. The lion’s head encases your own until the start of your next turn. When a creature within 10 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the lion bites the attacker, dealing 3d6 fire damage to it.
Roar of the Pride. The flames roar. Each creature within 20 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the spell ends. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of these turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to this effect until the spell ends.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage from the Fiery Maw and Flaming Mane options increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
