Spell Description

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.

When you cast this spell and as an action on subsequent turns you can manipulate the hand as if it was your own. This includes (but is not limited to) having the hand:

  • Manipulating an object, opening an unlocked door or container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents out of a vial.

  • Making an unarmed strike or an attack with a (one handed) weapon it is wielding or picking up as part of this action. When you use the hand to make an attack, the hand uses your spellcasting ability modifier to hit and damage instead of Strength or Dexterity. The hand is proficient with the same weapons as you are.

Alternatively, you can have the hand deliver a spell you cast that has a range of ‘touch’. You can also move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it as an action or to deliver a spell. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you at the end of your turn.
