# Banishment *4th-level, Abjuration* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 30 feet - **Components:** V, S, M (a pentacle) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute One creature that you can see within range must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be transported to a harmless demiplane for the duration. While there, the target has the [Incapacitated](Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Incapacitated) condition. When the spell ends, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. If the target is an Aberration, a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend, the target doesn't return if the spell lasts for 1 minute. The target is instead transported to a random location on a plane (DM's choice) associated with its creature type. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** You can target one additional creature for each spell slot level above 4. **Classes**: [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Wizard (Abjurer)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-abjurer-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Sorcerer](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Cleric](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-cleric.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-oath-of-vengeance-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Paladin](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-paladin.md); [Wizard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Warlock](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-warlock.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 245.
