Any of the equipment created by the spell vanishes in a puff of smoke if it is carried more than 10 feet away from the steed. 20 | 21 | For the duration, you or a creature you choose can ride the steed. The creature uses the statistics for a riding horse, except it has a speed of 100 feet and can travel 10 miles in an hour, or 13 miles at a fast pace. When the spell ends, the steed gradually fades, giving the rider 1 minute to dismount. The spell ends if you use an action to dismiss it or if the steed takes any damage. 22 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /_posts/2015-07-30-sunbeam.markdown: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | layout: post 3 | title: "Sunbeam" 4 | date: 2015-07-30 5 | source: PHB.279 6 | tags: [druid, sorcerer, wizard, level6, evocation] 7 | --- 8 | 9 | **6th-level evocation** 10 | 11 | **Casting Time**: 1 action 12 | 13 | **Range**: Self (60-foot line) 14 | 15 | **Components**: V, S, M (a magnifying glass) 16 | 17 | **Duration**: Concentration, up to 1 minute 18 | 19 | A beam of brilliant light flashes out from your hand in a 5-foot-wide, 60-foot-long line.
