# True Polymorph > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | 9th | > | **School** | [[Transmutation]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | 30 feet | > | **Components** | V, S, M *(a drop of mercury, a dollop of gum arabic, and a wisp of smoke)* | > | **Duration** | Concentration, up to 1 hour | > | **Classes** | Bard, Warlock, Wizard | --- ## Description Choose one creature or nonmagical object that you can see within range. You transform the creature into a different creature, the creature into a nonmagical object, or the object into a creature (the object must be neither worn nor carried by another creature). The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. If you concentrate on this spell for the full duration, the transformation becomes permanent. Shapechangers are unaffected by this spell. An unwilling creature can make a Wisdom saving throw, and if it succeeds, it isn't affected by this spell. **Creature into Creature** — If you turn a creature into another kind of creature, the new form can be any kind whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or its level, if the target doesn't have a challenge rating). **Object into Creature** — You can turn an object into any kind of creature, as long as the creature's size is no larger than the object's size and the creature's challenge rating is 9 or lower. **Creature into Object** — If you turn a creature into an object, it transforms along with whatever it is wearing and carrying into that form. The creature's statistics become those of the object, and the creature has no memory of time spent in this form, after the spell ends and it returns to its normal form. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
