Skill Empowerment

Level: 5th
School: Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Description:

Your magic deepens a creature's understanding of a specific skill. You touch one willing creature and give it expertise in one skill of your choice: Athletics, Arcana, Deception, Insight, or any other skill in which the target is proficient.

Until the spell ends, the target adds double its proficiency bonus to ability checks it makes with the chosen skill. The spell ends early if you cast it again or if you use your concentration on another spell.

Notes:

  • Expertise Enhancement: This spell effectively grants the target the Rogue or Bard's Expertise feature for one skill, significantly boosting its skill checks.
  • Concentration: The spell requires concentration, meaning it can be disrupted or ended prematurely if concentration is lost.
  • Utility: Skill Empowerment is highly versatile and can be used to boost the effectiveness of a wide range of abilities, depending on the situation.
