The Thu'um: Draconic Spells Includes spells and subclasses for wizards and bards, and spells for draconic bloodline socerers and dragonborn spellcasters

College of the Voice Bards of the college of the voice have studied the nature of dragon's breath attacks, and discovered that they are actually magical incantations spoken in Draconic. Thus, some Bards have endeavored to learn these incatations for themselves. This is a power they call "The Voice", or "The Thu'um" in Draconic. Followers of the way of the voice are not as violent as one might think. Their study of the Draconic power is not done purely to gain strength, but is done more as a pursuit of knowledge. They are similar to members of the college of lore in this way. More advanced followers of this school of magic will often travel to distant lands seeking metallic dragons as tutors. Expanded Spells (Thu'um) When you join the college at 3rd level you gain access to a list of additional spells, much like the options a warlock gains from their chosen patron. The list of spells and their effects can be found further down this document Favorite Shout Also at 3rd level, you can choose one of your Thu'um spells and mark it as your favorite. If the spell deals damage, you add one extra die to the roll. If the spell calls for a saving throw, its DC increases by 1. You may choose a new favorite shout up to once per week by meditating on the meaning of the words for 1 hour. Additional Thu'um At 6th level you learn two additional Thu'um spells of your choice. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip. The chosen spells count as bard spells for you but don’t count against the number of bards spells you know. Master of the Voice Your continued study of the Draconic voice has made it more natural for you. Starting at 14th level you can choose two Favorite Shouts instead of one. Additionally, you can cast a Thu'um spell once at 4th level without expending a spell slot. You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature in this way again. School of the Thu'um Some wizards also commit themselves to the study of draconic magic. Much like wizards who study evocation, they often themselves on battlefields, protecting the weak, or becoming powerful despots. Thu'um Savant Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you can choose Thu'um spells when you gain new spells. In addition, the gold and time you must spend to copy an Thu'um spell into your Spellbook is halved. Favorite Shout Starting at 2nd level when you choose this school, you can choose one of your Thu'um spells and mark it as your favorite. If the spell deals damage, you add one extra die to the roll. If the spell calls for a saving throw, its DC increases by 1. You may choose a new favorite shout up to once per week by meditating on the meaning of the words for 1 hour. Efficient Thu'um Beginning at 6th level, casting thu'um spells comes so easily to you that it expends only a fraction of your spellcasting efforts. When you cast a thu'um spell of 2nd level or higher using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast and can’t be higher than 5th level. Empowered Thu'um Beginning at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll of any wizard thu'um spell you cast. Maximized Thu'um Starting at 14th level, you can increase the power of your simpler thu'um. When you cast a wizard thu'um of 5th level or lower that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell. The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a long rest, you take 1d6 necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after you cast it. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d6. This damage ignores resistance and immunity. Variant Rule: Draconic Bloodlines Consider allowing sorcerers with the Draconic Ancetry sorcerous origin access to the Thu'um spell list. In addition, consider allowing Dragonborn characters of any spellcasting class access to the list as well. This fits well with the dragon themes of both types of characters, and makes them more viable options from a meta-game standpoint. 1

Thu'um Spells The following is a list of all the spells in the Thu'um school of magic. By the designs of this homebrew they are only meant to be accessed by the subclasses provided. However, hombrew is homebrew, and if your party's Elritch Knight really wants to breathe fire, consider allowing anyone to learn these spells. All Thu'um spells are cast with only Verbal compents by speaking three words in Draconic, which the caster need not be fluent in. Most Thu'um are about as loud as a normal humanoid's screaming voice (if not louder), but a few are quieter. Those that are quiet will say so in their descriptions. 1st Level Become Etherial

You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as Attack that creature, Run over there, or Fetch that object. If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well. When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and becomes hostile toward you. A creature prone to violence might attack you.
