My 6 favorite 5e Spells without material components in DND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Mage Hand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mage Hand is just such a good spell without material components. It has a lot of possible uses for creative players to make optimal use of it. For example, you can steal items, bring potions 30 feet away, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is not a damaging spell, it has many intelligent uses to make it a powerful asset to your party. Another thing I love about Mage Hand is that it is a cantrip, so you can use it right away at the start of your campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fire Bolt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another cantrip that is extremely popular amongst wizards is Fire Bolt. This spell is from the evocation school. It deals fire damage on hits, and it can ignite flammable objects. The spell has a lot of cool uses. If you enjoy fire spells and want to make a build that uses as many of them as possible, then you should check out my Create Bonfire guide<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Teleport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teleport is another spell that does not deal damage but is dependent on just how creative you are as a player or as a Dungeon Master. Like all other spells on this list, this magic does not require a material component. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you can transport up to 8 willing creatures and yourself at once, this is useful to get out of crazy situations. You can also teleport items if you want to do this. However, keep in mind that you can not teleport the object inside a target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dominate monster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dominate monster is another one of those strong spells if you know how to use it. However, while dominate monster does not need a material component, it is a concentration spell. That is a significant drawback since the domination ends when you lose concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominate monster is a level 8 spell, so it will take quite a long time until you can use this spell. So please don’t use it on weaklings like the Quasit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the spell does not do any direct damage, I think it is one of the most fun enchantments you can use in DnD 5e. Dominate monster does not require any materials and has many potential uses for intelligent and creative DMs and players alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Wish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All you need for this spell is a verbal component. You can duplicate any other spell of level 8 or lower. However, there are a couple of other things you can do with this spell. For example, make an object of up to 25 000 Gold pieces in value. Or grant up to 10 creatures a damage resistance of your choosing. This scenario is just a few uses; there are many more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this concept spell, but I think it is too strong. You can access this conjuration spell at level 9, so it is an endgame spell without material components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Dispel magic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, I admit, I love spells that are a bit on the creative side and aren’t damage dealers like Agonizing Blast<\/a> and other attacking magic is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dispel magic is another spell without material components that is more utility and creative than combat. The cool thing about dispelling magic is that you can put it in a different spell slot to make it scale with your level. These spells can last you an entire campaign, so they are almost always worth it to pick up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One little thing you need to remember about Dispel magic is that it does not work on particular ‘objects’ like Helmed Horrors<\/a> and other animated creatures. They will be unaffected when you pick those as a target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any spells that do not use any components?\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\n\n

There are no official spells without components. So you will always need to use at least one. If you want to have a spell that uses zero parts,\u00a0you need to make one yourself and go HomeBrew<\/a>. My Dungeon Master tip would be not to make these spells strong or give them another requirement like you have to sacrifice Hit Points or maybe even experience when you cast the spell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Conclusions on spells without materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many strong spells in Dungeons and Dragons that do not require you to have a material component. I would even go as far as to say that you can do an entire campaign using spells that do not require you to have any materials. It isn\u2019t going to be easy, but if you like a challenge, I will give you the advice to give it a try! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make the most use of the spells without materials in your arsenal, check out the guides I have written; a great example of an in-depth guide is Wall of Water 5e! <\/a>Keep in mind this spell. Does need material: A drop of water! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
