How to learn

This spell is a variation of:
Gather Your Allies (class action)

Other ways to learn:
By siding with  Auntie Ethel during Gather Your Allies.

• There are no scrolls available for wizards to transcribe to their spellbooks.

Notes

• Unlike other  Gather Your Allies abilities, this is actually classified as a spell. This has a number of implications:
  • Numerous enemies in the finale have  Counterspell including  The Emperor and  Spellplague and will counterspell this action if possible. If this happens, the action is not used and can be attempted again.
  • Metamagic can be used with this action, most notably  Metamagic: Extended Spell which doubles the duration to 4 turns.
  • It can be cast as a bonus action with  Illusion Quickening.
