# Cloud of Daggers *2nd-level, Conjuration* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 60 feet - **Components:** V, S, M (a sliver of glass) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute You conjure spinning daggers in a 5-foot [Cube](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) centered on a point within range. Each creature in that area takes `4d4` Slashing damage. A creature also takes this damage if it enters the [Cube](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) or ends its turn there or if the [Cube](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) moves into its space. A creature takes this damage only once per turn. On your later turns, you can take a [Magic](Mechanics/CLI/rules/actions.md#Magic) action to teleport the [Cube](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) up to 30 feet. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The damage increases by `2d4` for each spell slot level above 2. **Classes**: [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [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"); [Bard (College of Lore)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 251*
