# Freedom of Movement *4th-level, Abjuration* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** Touch - **Components:** V, S, M (a leather strap) - **Duration:** 1 hour You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target's movement is unaffected by [Difficult Terrain](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/difficult-terrain-xphb.md), and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the target's [Speed](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/speed-xphb.md) nor cause the target to have the [Paralyzed](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Paralyzed) or [Restrained](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Restrained) conditions. The target also has a [Swim Speed](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/swim-speed-xphb.md) equal to its [Speed](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/speed-xphb.md). In addition, the target can spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature imposing the [Grappled](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Grappled) condition on it. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** You can target one additional creature for each spell slot level above 4. **Classes**: [Bard](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Cleric (War Domain)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-war-domain-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Cleric](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-cleric.md); [Druid (Circle of the Land, Temperate Land)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-the-land-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Druid](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Paladin (Oath of Devotion)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-oath-of-devotion-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Paladin (Oath of Glory)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-oath-of-glory-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Ranger](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-ranger.md); [Sorcerer (Clockwork Sorcery)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-clockwork-sorcery-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 277.
