Spells of Old Volume III

Libris Mortis Spells Converted For 5th Edition Use

Introduction: There are plenty of spells to cover all the basics, and beyond, within the Player’s Handbook, but who doesn’t like more options. This supplement is the third of the supplements intended to port in some of the options provided during the source book hay-day of 3rd Edition and its 3.5 successor. This supplement pulls from the Libris Mortis, by Wizards of the Coast, and provides you with 13 new spells. For the most part the spell lists are maintained from the book, with minor adjustments.
