You become capable with one Intelligence skill of your choice.

Additionally, you can accurately recall anything you have seen or heard within the past month.

You have a limited well of energy that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. As an action, you can spend up to half your Health Dice (minimum 1).

Your origin grants you superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 10 meters of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.

A feat represents an area of expertise that gives a character special aptitudes. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides.

The outer layers of your mind become indecipherable to those who would plunder it. You are immune to any effect that would sense your emotions, read your thoughts, or determine you are lying, unless you allow it.

You become capable with Will saving throws. If you are already capable, choose another saving throw to become proficient with.

The magical energy flowing through you is volatile and untamed. Whenever you expend mana to cast a spell, you gain 3 power per mana expended. Whenever you expend stamina to use a maneuver, you gain 1 power per stamina die expended. Once on your turn when you cast a spell, use a maneuver, or as an action on a later turn, you can expend power to cause the magic within you to surge as it erupts out from you.

If you gain power beyond your power limit and each minute while you have power beyond your power limit, you must make a Fortitude saving throw to maintain your power. The Difficulty equals 15 + half the amount of power greater than your power limit. On a failure, you erupt with an amount of power equal to half your power limit (minimum 3), using a theme at random and choosing targets (other than yourself) at random.

The unused power stored within you dissipates. You lose 3 power for each minute that passes since gaining power.

Increase two abilities of your choice by 1 and one of your lowest two abilities by 1. If multiple abilities are tied for one of your lowest abilities, you can choose any of them. As normal, you can’t increase an ability above 5 using this feature.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

You can flood the minds of those who assault you with terrifying, incomprehensible images. Choose one of the following options.

• As a reaction when a creature attacks you, the creature must reroll the skill check and take the lower result. You can use this after the roll has been made, but before any effects are applied. Additionally, the creature must succeed on a Will saving throw or the horrors it experiences afflicts it, causing it to roll on the table.
• As a reaction when a creature attempts to read your thoughts or forces you to make a saving throw against psychic damage or an effect that would cause you to be charmed, frightened, or a similar magical effects (such as suggestion), you can mentally contest it. You gain resistance to any damage you would take from the effect, and advantage on on the initial saving throw you make against the effect. Additionally, the creature must succeed on a Will saving throw or the horrors it experiences afflicts it, causing it to roll on the table.
