    Default Why are some spells not on DNDbeyond?

    On Wikidot, I find wizard spells like Puppet, Mind Thrust, and Ego Whip. However, these spells don't appear to be found on DNDbeyond (which my campaign is using for character building). Does anyone know the reason for that?

    Also, I note that Wikidot lists Divination as a wizard/cleric/druid spell whereas according to DNDbeyond it's cleric only. Again, why is that?

    Those spells are all unearthed arcana and do not appear in any of the books available in dndbeyond.

    Divination is added to the Druid and Wizard spell lists by optional rules (from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything). Those rules, being optional, aren't assumed to be in effect by D&D Beyond. (Although I bet most DMs are perfectly fine with them.)

    Wikidot is the type of resource which is incorrect just infrequently enough to be dangerous. There is another similar, much, much better site that I will only ask you find for yourself.

    In the character builder, if you have Optional Class Features enabled, Divination will correctly show up as a spell option for your 7+ Wizard or Druid character to select - but the spell entry itself doesn't take Tasha's optional class features into account. Yes, it's annoying.

    Create the spells as Homebrew. Spells are pretty easy to make. Find a similar spell as a template and change it to suit, rename it and save.

    In addition to what Mastikator said about those being unpublished UA spells, ego whip in particular was renamed to Tasha’s mind whip and published in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

    ...are you sure it wasn't Mind Thrust (a 2nd-level spell that limits the target to one action) that was changed to Mind Whip? Because Ego Whip is a 4th-level spell that gives the target disadvantage on everything.

    Hmm, I use Wikidot a lot. Didn't realize it is dangerous. And what site are you talking about? If you don't want to talk publicly, you could send me a private message. If it's not too much bother, of course.

    You are correct, I got the two confused in my head.
