# Phantom Steed *3rd-level, Illusion (ritual)*  - **Casting time:** 1 minute unless cast as a ritual - **Range:** 30 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** 1 hour A Large, quasi-real, horselike creature appears on the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice within range. You decide the creature's appearance, and it is equipped with a saddle, bit, and bridle. Any of the equipment created by the spell vanishes in a puff of smoke if it is carried more than 10 feet away from the steed. For the duration, you or a creature you choose can ride the steed. The steed uses the [Riding Horse](Mechanics/CLI/bestiary/beast/riding-horse-xmm.md) stat block, except it has a [Speed](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/speed-xphb.md) of 100 feet and can travel 13 miles in an hour. When the spell ends, the steed gradually fades, giving the rider 1 minute to dismount. The spell ends early if the steed takes any damage. **Classes**: [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard (Illusionist)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-illusionist-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.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. 304.
