You also speak a message of up to twenty-five words. The target beast travels for the duration of the spell toward the specified location, covering about 50 miles per 24 hours for a flying messenger, or 25 miles for other animals.   When the messenger arrives, it delivers your message to the creature that you described, replicating the sound of your voice.

A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.

Find Traps

2-level Divination

You sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the Alarm spell, a Glyph of Warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.   This spell merely reveals that a trap is present. You don't learn the location of each trap, but you do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you sense.

Beast Sense

2-level Divination

You touch a willing beast. For the duration of the spell, you can use your action to see through the beast's eyes and hear what it hears, and continue to do so until you use your action to return to your normal senses. While perceiving through the beast's senses, you gain the benefits of any special senses possessed by that creature, though you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.

Flame Blade

2-level Evocation

You evoke a fiery blade in your free hand. The blade is similar in size and shape to a scimitar, and it lasts for the duration. If you let go of the blade, it disappears, but you can evoke the blade again as a bonus action.   You can use your action to make a melee spell attack with the fiery blade. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 fire damage.   The flaming blade sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

• Owl's Wisdom: The target has advantage on Wisdom checks.

Hold Person
