Notes
- The caster's spellcasting modifier is added to both the damage and attack rolls of the summoned Spiritual Weapon.
- The summoned weapon also gets the caster's proficiency bonus added to its
Attack rolls. - On the other hand, the weapon action DC of the summoned weapon (used for example by
to inflict 
Gaping Wounds with 
) is fixed to 12 and does not benefit from the caster's spellcasting modifier. - The greataxe, greatsword, and halberd variants of Spiritual Weapon are functionally identical. The spear and trident variants are also functionally identical.
- The incantation for Spiritual Weapon is Ex Textura, Latin for "from the weave".
