Voidblade

1st-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: S Duration: 8 hours

Description: You engulf the hand of your choice in void magic, forming a short, bright blade of purple energy that envelopes your hand. You may make melee attacks with the blade while it is active. The blade is considered a magical light finesse weapon, and deals 1d6 force damage on hit, and you are proficient with it. While the blade is active, the hand that it is enveloping must remain rigid and straight, preventing you from using that hand to grasp objects or complete somatic components of spells (any other hands available can still be used for somatic components). If this hand's pose is significantly altered, willingly or otherwise, the spell may end prematurely.

In addition, as a bonus action you can choose to concentrate on the spell to retract the blade into your arm, effectively "sheathing" the blade and freeing your hand without ending the spell. The spells duration continues to elapse and your veins in your arm glow with purple energy while the blade is sheathed this way. While the blade is sheathed, you may stop concentrating on the spell as a free action to reactivate the blade. If you lose concentration unwillingly, the blade springs back out from your arm against your control, potentially damaging you depending on how your arm was articulated when it sprung.

You may only have one Voidblade spell active at a time.

At higher levels: The duration increases by another 8 hours for each spell slot you expend beyond the first
