#hedge prefix
Text
Hedge is underused as a prefix for creatures.
Hedgehog: A small animal found in gardens with a similar, if miniature, behaviour as hogs. Hedgewitch: A small magic user found in gardens with a similar, if miniature, behaviour as witches.
We’re sitting on untapped potential for hedgewolf. Hedgewhale. Hedgegod. Hedgeknight. Does any of this make sense or do I just need to go to sleep.

Remember that post about using hedge as a prefix?
it's been on my mind for a while now and i just had to put my thoughts somewhere, to organize them and such. So here is my mind laid bare, let's hope i can force some logic into this.
The basic premise was from the word hedgehog (and also hedge-wizard, though i'm not sure) and how that prefix, hedge, could be used with other words.
now, hedge, on it's own, just means a fence made of plants. basically. not much useful stuff there, though maybe i'll get back to it later.
now onto the words that kicked this off.
hedgehos is, simply, hedge and hog. let's disregard hedge's old meaning and construct a new one that only applies to the prefic. for that, we have to look at what hog is.
a hog, is a synonim for boar or pig. So a big powerful (but clumsy*) creature with a tough hide (hard to damage) *clumsy as in can't control itself much once it begins charging
A hedgehog, on the other hand, is a small beastie. but at the same time i wouldnt say the change of size improved its clumsyness in any way, so still cumsy. but, and this is most important, it doesnt have a tough hide. no, instead it has a thorny pelt. spikes. so a hedgehog is a smaller, weaker, less tough version of a hog that has much greater retaliatory power.
okay, the definition of hedge it beginning to take shape.
now hedge-wizard.
a wizard is, obviosly, a time of spellcaster. what kind depends somewhat on the setting/person, but in general it's someone who studied the arcane for many years (usually holed up in a wizard tower) and acquired immense cosmic power. a wizard may be a bit squishy when it comes to physical might, but they pretty much constantly have some kind of spell running to mitigate this.
but a hedgewizard? well, a hedgewizard didn't have the resources or time to leisurely study for many years. they're usually self-taught from bits and pieces they can piece together about magic. they have only scraps of knowledge of magic compared to a wizard. this forces them to improvise, extrapolate spells from the little they have. and this often leads to more, but less powerful spells. but more importantly, it also leads to having spells for every situation. and also, since hedgewizards often also don't have a wizard tower or a place to stay, they often times have to become wanderers, survivalists, travelers. so their spells also focus on that. So, a hedge wizard is a less powerful but more versatile yet specialized wizard. and since they have so many spells they usually figure out at least a combo or two that is really powerful even if it leaves them hurt too. this they usually use as a last resort when attacked.
You see where this i going yet?
Basically, hedhe- , as a prefix, means a less powerful version of something whose main power is retaliation.
Let's try to apply that to something else. One example i remember from the original post was the concept of a hedge-knight.
Since a knight is someone who is big and strong, wears heavy, protective, full-plate metal armour and carrier some kind of big weapon like a broadsword or a greataxe, a hedge knight would be of a smaller build, carry a smaller weapon (if one at all)(like daggers, or a rapier). However i can't quite decide on the armour. my original idea was just a lighter, less protective one, which would make a hedgeknight basically a version of a rogue. the other idea is to directly borrow from the hog->hedgehog situaton and have a hedgeknight wear some kind of spiky mettalic armout. like the kind you see in videogames where it's called thorn armor or something like that.
next up, hedgeking. but since this is getting kind of long and im getting tired of writing this, i'll shorten it.
a king doesnt have any personal power and is more characterized by what they rule over. a king rules over vast swathes of land and has a strong army and etc. So, naturally, a hedgeking must rule over a much smaller area, not have much immediate power, but once attacked/disrespected have an extremely powerful retaliation.
hmm, that sounds kind of familiar... oh, i know. it the f-ing fey! or fay/faerie/fairy/however you spell it. A hedgeking is a fey, which makes even more sense since fairies are often also connected to nature... such as hedges.
anyway, at this point it got too much to all keep in my head and i got exhausted from thinkning of hedgecreatures.
reblog with some of your ideas or whatever
thanks for coming to my ted talk, thank for your attention, so on and so on

Can I haz some canon names Mr. Bonefall? :3
I'm looking to know about:
-Poppyfrost
-Cinderheart
-Molewhisker
-Pinestar
-Sweetbriar
-Crookedstar
-Shellheart
-Blackbee
*Cracks knuckles*
POPPYFROST = Liafifhess
Medicinal Poppy (Liafi) + Frost (hess)
Frost is very specifically the thin ice that settles on other things. Whiskers, on the tips of your fur, over rocks and tree bark. Poppyfrost's name invokes a medicinal poppy that is ever-so-slightly frozen.
Frost is often associated with intelligence, going as far back in Clan Culture as their Patron of Ingenuity, Sunlit Frost, and their Patron of Tunneling, Shattered Frost. Though her name doesn't "invoke" an image of intelligence by our standards, a very cold, frosty poppy is one that reminds Clan cats of how curious and savvy she is.
CINDERHEART = Keyababun
Ashes (Keya) + Heartbeat (Babun)
As an apprentice, Cinderheart was emotionally unstable and reckless. Her relationships were in a constant state of flux, and she often ended up having big fights with her friends and family at minor, perceived rejections. Like she was constantly burning her own life down.
She had a long journey with learning how to slow down before burning out, asking herself rational questions and working through her rapid heartbeat before being dragged along with it. At her warrior name ceremony, Firestar honored that effort and how she had matured into a fine warrior over the reasons.
Her name is Ashes-Heartbeating, "Steadily," he adds, "It will not beat fast, nor will it have beat to exhaustion."
As an extra note, "Ash" as a prefix does not refer to fire-ashes, but to the European Ash tree (Excelsior fraxinus). Cinder, "Keya" is for ashes.
MOLEWHISKER = Bosgohussk
European mole (Bosgo) + whisker (Hussk)
This word refers to Talpa europaea specifically! This animal is difficult to hunt, but valuable for its soft fur. It's some of the best-quality leather Clan cats have access to, up there with muntjac and red squirrel.
PINESTAR = Bes'shai
Scots pine (Bes) + Star (Shai)
Name was given an apostrophe simply to distinguish that the name does not have a Clanmew double Ss.
SWEETBRIAR = Rruqaneep
Eglantine (Rruqa) + Climbing vine (Neep)
This is the sort of name that a translator would look at, and just give up before translating as "Sweetbriar". Eglantine, also called Sweetbriar, is a type of 'hedge plant' that's often used in construction purposes. A good 'hedge' grows fast, is hardy, and is covered in thorns. The word "Rruqa" comes from "Hedge + Dogrose."
And a vine that begins to climb, the way that you want a good hedge to work, is Neep. Sweetbriar's name could be translated as, "Sweetbriar Climbing," "Sweetbriar Vine," "Eglantine Rising" or even "Really Good Wall."
So, instead, the translator simply chose "Sweetbriar." Sweetpaw's suffix was also Rruqa-- Eglantine. So the translator translated it the way they had done with the cat they were named for.
Crookedjaw = Gawgloongam
Twisted (Gawgloon) + Jaw (Gam)
In Clanmew, the word they're using for his name is not "crooked" as in "a thing to be correcting," but "twisted" as in "A cat twists in midair to correct course"
This is because his name is an Honor Title. It was bestowed for his return, after many seasons spent training at the Barn. He came back with new techniques and the pelt of an old fox, skinned and processed and bearing his unique bite mark to prove that he had not scavenged a carcass.
To mark this grand achievement, he went immediately from Stormpaw (in BB, he leaves as an apprentice, not a kit) to Crookedjaw... once he had finished his customary apprenticeship, though, it was a formality after bringing home a fox's pelt. Even though it was an old thing.
Shellheart = Ekshbabun
Rough shell of mussels (Eksh) + Heartbeating (Babun)
This specifically refers to the hard, gray shells of freshwater mussels, and is used to describe the thick horns of things like rams. It invokes strength, and comes from the clacking sound when they tap together.
Shellheart is a very reserved, guarded person. Warm to his kits, but still someone who can be quite harsh as a warrior. His name reflects that.
Blackbee = Lubroffaws
Blueblack (Lubro) + Solitary bee (ffaws)
How dare you make me translate bee before I get to bee expansion pack
BUT ANYWAY!! There are MANY words for various kinds of bees, more than you'd imagine, there are many kinds of bees and their presence is very important to understanding the health of an ecosystem!
I feel like Blackbee was a bit of a lone wolf type, the sort of girl who didn't work well with other people. A bit broody, very quiet. So, her name became "solitary bee" as opposed to a "swarming bee." She's very industrious and a helpful member of the Clan, just... needs her personal space.

I read a children’s fantasy book called Hedgewitch in which there is a Hedgewitch, it’s like a fancy title given to a strong witch (it seems to run as a title along a hereditary line of witches) who then protects a particular town that exists by a forest (called The Hedge) that separates a sort of fantasy indeterminate past version of England from the land of faerie.
Which is all fine and good but the term hedgewitch is supposed to mean like. so the prefix hedge was used in a derogatory way for anyone seen as very lower class. per etymonline:
As hedges were "often used by vagabonds as places of shelter or resort" [Century Dictionary], the word, compounded, "notes something mean, vile, of the lowest class" [Johnson], from contemptuous attributive sense of "plying one's trade under a hedge" (hedge-priest, hedge-lawyer, hedge-wench, etc.), a usage attested from 1530s.
i just personally think it’s a shame to take the term hedge-witch with this sense of disreputable and lower class and waywardness attached, and to turn it into essentially a patrician role that comes with a big Manor House and servants attached. oh well.

Note
why are you called the hedge hypnotist? i always think of shrubbery first.
It’s supposed to be akin to Hedge Knights, Hedge Priests, Hedge Wizards, Hedge Witches, and so on. A wandering practitioner of a certain craft that is outside of the established schools of said craft.
Something I should have realized is that most people aren’t going to be versed in that prefix and will just assume I’m really into Hedgehogs. 🤷‍♂️

[This meta probably will be under better redaction in the following days since I wrote it in a rush before going to sleep] Well, it's more than clear that when the name of Nine Eyes or Eyes of the Nine appeared, we were going to see all that stuff that Taliesin said was thrown into trash because Molly's death. In fact, I can't stop thinking in Molly and his relationship with Dunamancy and Astral Sea stuff here.  Specially now that I've just watched the episode 110.
[Details ahead due to length]
Let’s start.
Nonagon now has a clear meaning to me. I was not reading this name in latin before simply because Matt says in his interviews that he tends to name things and NPCs just by the sound of it, inspired in other languages and contexts, of course, but it's usually more an ear-thing or a rolling-the-tongue-thing. Now I believe Molly's previous name doesn't follow that rule: Nona is the latin prefix for Nine, and gon is side or angle, like in “polygon”. Nonagon would mean a geometric structure of nine angles. The other artefact we know in Critical Role following a geometry like that is the dodecahedron; a 3D structure with 12 sides.
Dodecahedrons, also known as Luxon Beacons, are artefacts of unknown origin that storage souls for further reincarnation through the process of consecution, and they are powered by Dunamancy magic. Because of this relationship with this particular school of magic, it gives to living creatures a “fragment of possibility”. The images it gives to each person who sees into it is about time, about the infinite different time-planes that such person could be. It's a moment of overlap between time-planes.  
Dunamancy and the echo-spell we saw that Essek taught to Caleb, show that there are multiple time planes going on in every instant, and with this magic, you can pick a shadow or echo of yourself to use in this plane. So, the dodecahedron works as a link to overlap different time-planes.
With this in mind, I can't stop thinking that Molly was “like” a living “dodecahedron”. He may have been an experiment of someone (we can go into this later) to storage souls, and hence his concept of “being a sacrifice”. We never had great reveals about this since he died early in the story, but relating the concept of sacrifice to an experiment subject who keeps replacing his soul is not a bad metaphor.  
We also know he died before and his body returned, like an empty shell. His previous soul was gone, and he had to craft his own personality from a big blank. It's like the process he was under was still being polished. The person experimenting on him wanted to create a vessel, whether to let souls being transferred into him and work like the Luxon Beacons do in order to have “immortality”, or like a link to another planes (not only time-planes, but space-planes); in short, a welcoming vessel for creatures beyond this plane (I'm going to retake this point ahead)
On the other side, we have the concept of Molly and the Gods hidden in his tattoos. For this link I want to bring attention onto Molly's tattoos:
“Between his shoulder blades rising towards the hairline, he had tattoos of an eye within a pyramid, illuminated by another eye above it.”
This seems to me a symbol of the Knowing Mistress, but she is being observed or guided by another. There is another entity eye-related that seems to be higher than her. Or maybe is a patron from which the Mistress pulls her powers?
“one eye on back and palm of his right hand”
The eye on the palm is another symbol of a Deity: Vecna, a Betrayer God that prefers to hide the knowledge of the world in opposition to The Knowing Mistess. The eye on the back of his hand feels to work in the same way that one in his shoulder blades: There is another eye over the deity. An observer, or a more powerful being over the symbol of a god.
“A red eye tattoo on the right side of his neck, on his right shoulder.”
Since there is no much description about the other eyes and tattoos on Molly, the only deity I can relate to the one on his neck is Gruumsh, another betrayer god who has a symbol of an eye crying a red tear.
I don't know if Uk'atoa could be placed in these relationships, since he is a “god” depicted with 3 eyes on its head and many in its tentacles.... but Avantika had another interpretation of it: a serpent ouroboros with Nine eyes. This creature is not a god, but it's quite a powerful entity (maybe as powerful as Vokodo, who had only 4 eyes. Could the eyes of the entities mean the level they are? how powerful they are?). Uk'atoa was a creation of Zehir, the snake god, which is also a Betrayer God. Detail to add: Molly had a snake along his arm too. But again, this last concept maybe is too much. I discarge it even though I feel there is a lot of repetitive symbols.
So, I go as far as I can, and I would say that Molly was deeply related with gods, and who knows if his body was an attempt to craft something like the dodecahedron but for gods or similar entities (aka astral creatures). I'm not meaning Molly is an ancient experiment like a pre-Calamity creature. No. More like a current experiment of someone who found an ancient (pre-calamity) book or (pre-calamity) lost knowledge of how to do such things. I mean... it doesn't seem odd that someone, exploring those weird Ruins in the North of the Empire or in similar places where the prosperous floating isles of mageocracies fell, could have found the recipe to be immortal and experimented with him?
Hallas is a living proof that it's possible; certainly he was pretty close in succeeding since his recipe consisted in “transferring a soul to a jar” (quite a beacon procedure) and he only failed in finding a “vessel” to receive his soul after the many clones done with the tissue of The Laughing Hand's heart. In that sense, Molly was the perfect “vessel”, working perfectly in receiving a transferred soul. The Luxon Beacon or Hallas' jar seemed to work much better in the procedure of “storage of souls”.
So, Molly seemed to have a body “touched” by the gods, marked by them, or more like a big “Pillars-of-Eternity-gods-are-only-more-powerful-creatures”,  a body that could work as a link between space-planes. I say this because Molly had these 9 eyes on his body that were impossible to be tattooed on them. It's fair to think that this is not mere magic but an overlap of dimensions or scars from the convergence of different planes. We saw the rarity that comes from it: like the waterfall rising to the skies in Rumblecusp, or the strange tower cut half in the Ruins with sarcophagus of the isle as if it could have been cut off from the planes. It's the same kind of oddity like the lava rivers in the North of Eiselcross. They tend to be explained as “weird powerful magic”, but maybe it's just singular points in the space-time of Wildmount that seems to connect different planes, and in such places, the unexpected, the impossible, happens. This impossibility of writing over Molly's tattooes makes me think that his body, cultivated to be a vessel, could be also touched by extra planar spaces.
The few creatures we saw that came from these planar spaces are the Astral Dreadnought and Vokodo. About the Dreadnought we can't say much, it was shackled, and there was no gravity around him (another sign that maybe Dunamancy is related to magic from another plane). It's not minor that the Dreadnought had its eyes covered. Can the eyes of these creatures be connectors to  the planes? Are the eyes of these creatures the source of their power? 
About Vokodo, it was clear that he was escaping from where it came from, and all the Rumblecusp arc was a proof of how god-like these entities can be in this plane. So, to think that maybe some Betrayer Gods are in fact entities from another plane escaping from that weird city, or some Primal deities are watched or connected or receiving their powers from other planar entities (Molly's tattoos of eyes over Deity symbols) doesn't seem weird to me. Therefore, preparing a vessel to take a “safe” form in this plane could explain Molly's body as a vessel.
Taking the point of who “revived” Molly... it seems more than fair to think that it was Vess DeRogna. She had a book that allowed certain procedure on Molly that left him “dead”. This was the experiment I was talking about. DeRogna, as a person looking for ancient knowledge, having access to a book that who knows if it is not part of what these mages from the floating isles left, activated something in Molly that seemed to kill him just to wake up later like an empty vessel. No wonder why the Assembly, once they had access to a beacon, started to understand it faster than any hedge mage in Xorhas. They were already aware of how this procedure could work, at least, to a certain degree.
Another unnerving thing that keeps track of the “vessel concept”: when Jester sent a message to Cree and she said that she did not remember her... I had this idea that Cree lost her soul. Like it had happened to Molly, Cree returned like an empty Vessel. The name of the Gentleman should have meant something to her if she only truly forgot about Jester. Matt never rolled a die to see if she remembered Jester or no. It was decided beforehand that Cree was not going to remember them... and probably, not even herself.
So, in short, Molly's bits of story that we know seems to lead to the concept that he could have been a living vessel for living creatures (nah), betrayer gods trying to materialise (doubtful) or astral sea creatures trying to escape their plane (I'm pretty inclined to this hypothesis, since we saw in Vokodo that there was some shit stuff going on in that plane). If some particular person submitted Molly to this procedure full aware of its goal or more like a procedure hidden in religious dogma and rituals or simply out of curiosity is hard to discern.  
We do know that Dunamancy allows that process, since the dodecahedron is a real proof of it. We also know that Dunamancy works with time and gravity (things that shift a lot around astral sea creatures) and it's probably an ancient magical school left by these lost societies of mageocracies that fallen, in the form of artefacts that were target of religious devotion by the Drow. But it would not be strange to believe Dunamancy as a magic that comes from the Astral Sea.
I believe nobody knows anything about the Nine Eyes because this is something out of this plane. Only people dabbling in astral-sea stuff could offer some light on the matter. Therefore Hallas is the only one we know that could. Or any Githyanki or Githzerai, but so far, they are non-existent in Critical Role so far I see.

[5e] 9th-Level Spells
You may be wondering why I’m starting my review of 5e spells with the highest level spells available. That’s simple: you only get one.
The 5e Sorcerer table isn’t quite like the 3.x one, but it is like the 3.5 Warlock and Psion: at any given level, you can known X spells and have Y spell level as your maximum. The table is elegant, but you have to know to level your character from first level rather than reading the table straight across if you’re making a higher level character. (I’ve made this mistake many a time. It’s why I dislike this sort of table: it looks nice but isn’t actually helpful.)
If you’re trying to have as many spells of the highest available spell level as possible, you would have from 0th to 9th 6/3/2/2/2/2/1/1/1/1. I find it easier to work backwards in this case, as you can say “I want to reserve X spells known for higher-level spells” and then figure out how many low-level ones you can have instead of getting to a higher level and running into a corner.
The question with 9th-level spells is not “what’s good?” because they’re all good. Rather, it’s “what’s worth taking as my single most powerful class feature?” That should narrow things down a lot.
Primary List
gate · mass polymorph · meteor swarm · power word kill · psychic scream · time stop · wish
I’ve written about wish and time stop ZA WARUDO! (time crunchy noises), but not in the context of 5e. Wish has changed substantially; time stop hasn’t. You have a few options, but the majority of them are boom-boom.
Gate: you can hold open an interplanar portal for as long as you concentrate (up to a minute) at the cost of a 5,000 gp diamond; if you know the name of a specific creature, you can use the spell to summon that creature. For some odd reason, gate is both the most Warlock spell in the game besides planar binding, yet is only a Warlock spell through a UA variant. For a Sorcerer, this could be useful, but you’re making your best spell cost you money every time you cast it. Strategically speaking, this spell is situational enough (read: a Wizard spell) that if you wanted it in the first place you should take it with the Ritual Caster feat, but for some reason this most obviously ritualistic spell isn’t a ritual. There are better uses for your spell known, but this is by no means a bad spell. Save for a scroll or something.
Mass Polymorph: you polymorph (Wis negates) up to ten creatures you can see within 120 ft. for as long as you concentrate (up to one hour), just like with polymorph. It incorporates animal shapes into it. If you want animal shapes, you should find a way of getting it instead: you don’t need a 9th-level spell slot for it (so can cast it more often -- 8th + 9th level spell slots), it lasts for 24 hours, and you can affect more creatures (30 ft. area = radius = 96 squares - the one you’re in = 95 Medium creatures [more if they’re smaller and squeezing together]). I don’t care for the concentration aspect of the 5e polymorph spells. I mean, I get the rationale, I just find it odd for this particular spell -- and I’d rather not give my opponent a tactical reason to target me. Pass.
Meteor Swarm: four fireballs fall from the sky and each deal 20d6 fire + 20d6 bludgeoning (Dex half; average 140 damage), setting everything they touch ablaze. Beautiful. I love meteor-style spells, so this is high on my list even though it’s a boom-boom spell and I’m not particularly boom-boom oriented. The best part of this is that it has a range of one mile, so you can destroy enemy armies without risking getting killed! Yay! Yes.
Power Word Kill: one creature within 60 ft. of 100 HP or less drops dead (no save). 100 HP is more than the average of many high-level characters, so unless the DM gave a boss max HP you can use this to kill even major opponents reliably. An optimizer will tell you that a spell without a save is something you should always take -- and would be correct insofar as it makes you more difficult to stop. I, however, dislike that mechanic: there’s almost no reason a spell shouldn’t have a save. This one should have the choice of Wis (resisting the mental influence) and Con (staying alive despite the heart attack/stroke/whatever). A very good spell, but I’d call it OP.
Psychic Scream: 10 creatures of Int 3+ within 90 ft. take 14d6 psychic damage and are stunned (Int half [damage]/negates [stunning]); their heads explode if they die. The beauty of this one is that it goes off of Int rather than Wis (meaning Wizards are the only targets you really need to worry about) and it automatically avoids friendly fire. Yes.
Time Stop ZA WARUDO!: you get 1d4 + 1 rounds to act, but the spell ends if anything you do (including effects you create) affect other creatures or objects someone else is wearing or carrying or you move more than 1,000 ft. from where you cast the spell. The main purpose of this spell is to buff yourself a lot, run the fuck away, or stack delayed blast fireballs to deal a buttload of damage. That’s all very nice, but it’s a continuation of the 3.0 nerf to the spell: in 2nd ed, you could pull a DIO and attack people or an Over the Hedge and steal things. Now for my main quibble. 3.5′s Player’s Handbook II had the celerity line of spells, which you could cast as an immediate action (choice of reaction or bonus action). Each one dazed (incapacitated) you afterward, but gave you an extra move (lesser), action (no prefix), or round (greater) to do with as you pleased. I’m willing to guess that there are similar spells in 5e. In 3.5, there were ways of becoming immune to dazing; maybe there’s a 5e-compatible build for that. Either way, as a 9th-level spell, I should get to throw knives at people to my heart’s content before dropping heavy objects (like steam road rollers) on them. Good, but I’m going to go to my grave complaining about the restrictions.
Wish: you can do practically anything, but you have a one in three chance of losing your ability to cast your highest-level spell. IT’S A TRAP!
For very personal reasons, I’m torn between meteor swarm and time stop, but psychic scream is also up there. I think power word kill is unfair, but I cannot say that it’s a bad spell. I don’t like mass polymorph, but I think that’s more me not liking how 5e deals with durations. Wish is too big of a risk for a Sorcerer: you have the chance of losing the most powerful class feature you get and have nothing else that can compensate for that loss (unlike a Wizard); it’s better as a scroll. Gate really should be a ritual, but it isn’t, and it’s expensive, so it really depends on how badly you need to move lots and lots of creatures or summon forth an Elder God.
Divine Soul (Cleric) List
astral projection · gate · mass heal · true resurrection
I’ve already covered gate, thankfully.
Astral Projection: exactly what it says on the tin for you and eight willing creatures. I have never understood why this spell is so high-level. Mechanically, it’s riskier and more expensive than casting plane shift, which is two levels lower. Thematically, it’s a mass version of an effect which in folklore is almost always caster-only, which makes no sense, and it’s at max-level when this is fairly standard practice for shaman and shaman-like figures. (Heck, that’s what a bunch of the associated drug culture is about!) Maybe someone can explain to me why you would want to use this spell. Pass.
Mass Heal: heal 700 HP divided as you choose among any number of creatures (except constructs and undead) you can see within 60 ft.; also cures them of all diseases, blindness, and deafness. On the one hand, this seems like a great spell with a raid or during a cataclysm. On the other, you can accomplish everything this does with lower-level spells. Pretty good, but maybe hold out for...
True Resurrection: a creature you touch (or whose name you speak) is restored to life and perfect health (no wounds, no missing limbs, cured of all diseases and poisons, freed from any curses), even if there are no remains, provided the creature has been dead for no longer than 200 years and is free/willing to return. PICK THIS ONE!
Variant List (UA)
Foresight: for eight hours, a creature you touch can’t be surprised, gets advantage on most d20 checks, and causes all creatures attacking it to roll with disadvantage. This is better than the 3.5 version, which was already very good. Yes, this. Very.
Really Cool Spells It’d Be Great to Take If You Could
Or me lamenting about the limitations of the Sorcerer list
imprisonment · invulnerability · power word heal · prismatic wall · ravenous void · shapechange · storm of vengeance · time ravage · true polymorph · weird
Imprisonment: you know any of those fairy tale/folklore/mythology spells that trap someone for, like, ever? This is it. (Combines the spell of the same name, maze, and binding from 3.5.) You’ve got options if you want to seal someone away -- and it lasts until you say otherwise. Sure, it’d be nice if it were a ritual, but it ain’t; you just gotta take a minute to cast it (and throw in 500 gp. of material per HD of the target).
Invulnerability: you are immune to damage for up to 10 minutes (at the cost of “a piece of adamantine” [in D&D, that’s closer to depleted uranium than it is to diamond] of 500+ gp.). Maybe you don’t like the cost for a spell of that level, but hey, invulnerability.
Power Word Heal: target (non-construct, non-undead) regains all HP; has the charmed, frightened, paralyzed, and stunned conditions removed; and can stand up as a reaction if prone. This is a Bard spell, but it’s on the Cleric and Druid variant lists, so probably is an option for Divine Souls. I can see it being handy, but you’d think mass heal would be a better choice.
Prismatic Wall: you conjure up a rainbow wall/sphere (as prismatic spray) that’s a bitch to get rid of. You want an abjuration? This is it.
Ravenous Void: a miniature black hole that needs some errata (how many spaces do creatures and objects getting sucked in move each round?). It’s ludicrously awesome, though.
Shapechange: other than true polymorph, this is what you want out of polymorphing magic.
Storm of Vengeance: let’s say you want all of the boom-boom of meteor swarm but are more meteorologically focused. Here’s your answer. You end up dealing an average of 49 damage (of three elemental types and bludgeoning) to each creature below a storm cloud (360 ft. radius) you conjure within sight. There’s an arbitrary distance beneath the cloud included, as it doesn’t say how far up the cloud has to be.
Time Ravage: you decrepify someone with timey-wimey magic -- but it’s somehow necromancy!
True Polymorph: you can transform almost anything into almost anything else. The limits on this spell are basically to keep you from thinking you’re a literal god and overall I’d think this would work better in a skill-based magic system, but nonetheless it’s quite clearly the best polymorphing spell in the game.
Weird: this is mass phantasmal killer. It’s directly comparable to psychic scream -- Illusion rather than Enchantment, fear rather than stunning, and more potential targets in a smaller burst instead of headsplosions.
