Dungeons & Dragons: Reference Cards: Spells - Levels 4-5 (EN)

Keep the Spells Flying, Not the Page-Flipping

There's a moment every spellcaster knows: you've got the perfect spell for this encounter, but by the time you've found it in the Player's Handbook, flipped to the right page, and read the full description aloud, the momentum at the table has quietly died. Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons Reference Cards: Spells – Levels 4–5 are built to fix exactly that. These cards put the rules you need — range, components, duration, effect — right in front of you, visible throughout your turn and ready at a glance.

What's in the Deck

This deck covers the spell levels where D&D characters start to feel truly powerful. Level 4 brings Banishment, Polymorph, and Greater Invisibility. Level 5 delivers Animate Objects, Cone of Cold, Hold Monster, and some of the most decisive magic in the game. With 41 level 4 spell cards and 48 level 5 spell cards, the deck covers the full breadth of what a caster at these tiers needs at the table.

Beyond the spell cards themselves, the deck includes 13 stat block cards for summoned creatures and relevant effects, 5 customizable blank cards for homebrew spells or personal notes, and 1 instruction card to get new users oriented quickly. Everything is designed to complement the 2024 revised core rules for Dungeons & Dragons.

Who These Are For

These cards are an essential tool for any player running a Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Cleric, Bard, or Paladin at mid-to-high tier play — roughly characters at levels 7 through 10, where level 4 and 5 spell slots first come online and become the backbone of a caster's arsenal. They're equally useful for Dungeon Masters managing spellcasting monsters or NPCs without slowing the game to look up stat blocks. If your campaign has reached the point where spell selection and timing are genuinely tactical decisions, having these cards spread on the table isn't a convenience — it's a competitive advantage. Note that these cards are a supplement to the core rules, not a standalone product; you'll need the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook (2024) for full spell descriptions and character rules.
