Sparks power your spellcasting and many Spark Blade abilities. After each Rest, your Spark count is set to half your Presence.
You gain sparks in the following ways:
You can only use a limited number of Sparks in a turn. This limit starts equal to your Presence stat.
You may choose two Signature Cantrips at level 1, and can alter them each time you level.
Spell save RT: 10 + your Tier + your Presence modifier.
You gain cantrips at level 1, level 1 spells at level 2, and level 2 spells at level 7.
You prepare Spark Blade spells equal to twice your Tier. Prepared spells can be changed on a Long Rest.
When you make a weapon attack, you may choose one of your Signature Cantrips and add its additional effects to the attack.
You may spend 1 Spark to choose an effect that you did not choose for your Signature Cantrip.
Damage increases from the cantrip do not activate.
When you deal damage with a weapon attack, you may activate the crit effect regardless of the result.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Tier per Short Rest.
When you Burst, you double the amount of Sparks you can use in a turn. You start each day with one use of Burst, and can consume 10 Sparks to regain that use if it has been expended.
You know Blitzing Blows automatically and choose 1 additional Burst Effect.
While Bursting, each time you activate Biting Blows, it triggers twice.
Make a singular slash, sending a thin arc of energy through all target creatures in a 35 ft. line. Distanced Strikes can increase the distance, and Biting Blows activates as though you spent 1 Spark.
While Bursting, expend Sparks and a Power Action to send them toward any number of targets. They become piercing lances, each dealing 1d8 damage.
Dash in a straight line up to your movement + 10. Make a weapon attack against each target within 5 ft. of that line. Defensive Actions are at disadvantage, Distanced Strikes can increase the radius, and Biting Blows may affect every target.
While Bursting, spend 2 Sparks to increase all of your stats by 1 until the end of your next turn.
Unleash 3 slashes. Each is 15 ft. long, 10 ft. wide, and begins within 30 ft. of you. Creatures in the lines make a Body check against your Spell RT or take twice your weapon damage. Biting Blows still deals damage on success.
As a Half Action, increase your movement by 15 ft., increase your Parry and Dodge rolls by twice your Tier, and gain Disengage until the start of your next turn.
Upon dealing damage with a weapon attack, expend Sparks to deal additional damage equal to a number of d4 equal to the Sparks spent.
Expend any number of Sparks to increase your weapon range by 10 ft. for each Spark spent.
Until the end of your turn, gain 5 extra movement per Spark spent on this feature.
When you deal weapon damage to a target, spend 1 Spark to deal 1d4 damage to another target within range. If the attack used Biting Blows, the secondary target also takes that additional damage.
Once per turn, spend 2 Sparks to reduce the Action Point cost of your next weapon attack by 1.
When dealing damage to a creature, spend 1 Spark to gain 1d4 health. If the attack also used Biting Blows, heal an additional amount equal to half of the Biting Blows damage.

Once per Short Rest, reduce the raw roll of a weapon damage roll against you by your Tier.
Whenever you make a melee attack, expend 1 Spark to make the attack a simple arc.
Once per turn, when you critically hit with a weapon attack, form an Echo Blade. Expend it on a Defensive Action or damage roll to increase that roll by 1. You may have Echo Blades up to your Presence stat, and they last until combat ends.
Once per day during combat, expend 2 Sparks to gain 1d4 temporary combat health each round. When the temporary health is fully removed or combat ends, this feature ends and you gain 1 Spark.
When dealing damage with a weapon attack, spend 1 Spark to learn one target detail: max health, current health, max Stamina, current Stamina, Difficulty, or one stat.
Once per day, by expending 1 Spark in a social situation, make an Insight check at advantage or see an individual's current emotional state.
Once per day, double your Deception bonus or lower a Presence check made against you by your Deception.
After every weapon attack you make that is not a crit, your crit range increases by 1. When you critically hit, this crit range resets to normal.

Once per Extended Rest, when you fail a Soul check, you may choose to pass instead.
Rune Fragments are what allow you to cast spells, alter their effects, and activate many features.
You start your day with, and upon any Rest are set to, a number of rune fragments equal to 1 + your Tier. During combat, you gain fragments equal to half your level at the start of each of your turns.
When casting spells, you must use 1 + the spell's level in rune fragments in order to cast them. This is the case through level 4 spells.
After casting a spell using Rune Fragments, you may roll a number of d4 equal to the number of Fragments spent. On each 4, you regain a Fragment.
The maximum fragments you can have at any time is equal to twice your level + your Mind.
In addition, any subclass features that spend rune fragments, count as spells for the sole purpose of being able to reroll them.
You gain cantrips and level 1 spells at level 1, and gain access to the next level of spells every other level.
You may choose a single Signature Cantrip at level 1, and can alter them each time you level.
Spell save RT: 10 + your Tier + your Presence modifier.
You prepare Rune Walker spells equal to your Mind + your Tier + half your level. Prepared spells can be changed on a Long Rest.
When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of rune fragments equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 rune fragment if the spell is a cantrip).
When casting a spell that has a specific damage type, you may change the damage type to one of the following; fire, blunt, cold, lightning, or thunder.
Can pass concentration on to another creature, may only have one active at a time
When you cast a spell that targets a creature at touch range, you can spend a number of rune fragments equal to the spell's level to turn the range into an arc (1 rune fragment if the spell is a cantrip).
When casting a spell that has a saving throw, you may reduce the saving throw of a target by 1.
As you connect with the world itself, you have learned to obtain, and expend, runes with minimal effort. Once per round, you may use a Half Action to gain, or expend (this counts for any ability that looks for the amount of runes used), a single rune fragment.
Starting at 3rd level, you gain access to powerful enhancements to runes and spells.
In your first combat of any given day, you are considered to have spent 6 rune fragments for the purpose of counting up to creating an adornment. You may only have 1 adornment at any given time. You gain one adornment every time you have spent a total of 12 rune fragments.
Additionally, you may break down an adornment for 2d6 rune fragments.
When casting a spell that has a targeted radius (not self), you may condense the range of the spell to a single target. You may roll additional damage die to that target equal to your Tier, and if it requires a saving throw the target has disadvantage.
When casting a spell that has a single target you may give it a radius of 5 feet instead, and may increase that range with rune fragments. 2 for the first additional 5 foot increase, 3 for the next, and so on.
Upon casting a spell that has several parts or projectiles that are sent out for damage, you may increase the amount by your Tier.
You cast the spell alongside a melee attack and if the attack connects, the spell explodes forth. If there would normally be a Body saving throw with the cast, it is immediately failed. All other types of saving throws have disadvantage. Additionally, you may choose for the damage of the melee attack to change typing to the spell damage.
Once per round, you may cast a Reaction speed spel, without expending your Reaction.
As a Free Action or Reaction, you may choose a spell that you are actively retaining Concentration on, and remove its Concentration requirement until the end of your next turn.
Your purpose is strengthened by the world's desire to see you succeed. Once per day, when you successfully make a Will or Resolve check, you may roll a number of d4, equal to half of your level, and recover that much health.
Starting at 5th level, you are able to call upon the energies of the world to protect you at a moment's notice. These energies swirl around you, allowing you to impose disadvantage on damage from a single attack made against you. You may use this feature once per Extended Rest.
Practice with adornments has led you to understand their construction to a great degree, and to benefit from both the moment you acquire them, and when you expend them beyond the usual means. You may now use 12 fragments to create a single adornment as a Simple Action. This does not count as spending fragments toward making another.
Additionally, the first time in a turn that you use, or gain, an adornment, you may fire off a cantrip alongside it freely.
Additional Subclass Feature
When you reach level 6, you may choose an additional subclass feature to the one you would normally gain upon leveling up.
You may now have up to 2 adornments at any time, and now start each day with a single adornment. The first combat in a day no longer counts as you having spent 6.
When casting a spell you may use an adornment and a Half Action to enact one, to all, of the following effects, each of which may only be used once per Extended Rest
You may select an amount of dice, up to your Mind, to reroll
You impose disadvantage against any Defensive Action your target attempts, and you gain an advantage on your next Defensive Action until the end of your next turn
You gain temporary (round) health equal to half the damage you deal
Once per Rest, after you have spent an adornment, you may choose to, on the following turn, gain twice the number of fragments at the start of your turn and from Flow of the World.
You may now have up to 3 adornments at any time. You also gain access to 5th level spells, but not by using rune fragments. Each 5th level spell costs 2 adornments to activate.
Additionally you may make an adornment out of 10 rune fragments twice per Rest as a Free Action, which may be done multiple times in a single round.
Upon reaching level 10, you are able to feel the world as it moves, and as it seeks to act. Many of these movements are to aid you. Twice per Rest, for the cost of a single rune fragment, when you make a Defensive Action, you may increase the roll by 2.
In your understanding of the world, you have learned to see far larger things. You no longer have a cap on how many fragments or adornments you may hold. You may now also cast 6th level spells for 3 adornments each.Additionally, your first combat in a day now counts as you having 6 fragments toward making another adornment, and the Free Action crafting of adornments is reduced to 8 fragments instead of 10.
Once per Extended Rest, you may align yourself entirely with the intent of the world. Upon doing so with a Free Action, you instantly gain 4 rune fragments. At the start of your next turn, you gain 1 adornment, and 2 rune fragments.
You may quickly inscribe a rune to the floor, a wall, or even to an item and bind a spell there. You may even do so to a weapon to activate when you throw it, or when you hit a creature.
Inscribing takes the normal amount of Action Points as casting the spell, may only be done with Full Action or lower spells, and costs 1 more Rune Fragment than would normally take to cast the spell. You may set out conditions for activating the spell when you inscribe the rune, or use a Simple Action or reaction to do so when you choose. You must be within 20 ft., or the spell's range of the item to activate it, whichever is further.
If the spell you inscribed on a weapon requires a saving throw, that saving throw is taken at disadvantage when you activate it upon the weapon hitting the target.
Each inscription lasts for 1 minute, or 10 rounds.
You have begun to understand how to infuse yourself with minor runic effects to increase your own physical prowess.
An amount of times equal to your Mind modifier per Long Rest, you may use a Free Action to expend a rune fragment for one of the following effects
Increase your movement speed by 5 feet until the end of your next turn
Increase your next defensive action by 1
Choose a damage type, until the next time you are dealt damage by that type before the start of your next turn, your next Block against it gains 1 additional die
The rhythmic motions of the world itself call to you. You begin to notice the pulses of the runes on almost a beat to an unheard, but still felt, rhythm. Once each turn, when you cast a spell, you may use 1 less rune fragment to do so.
You have learned to make use of the residual energy of the runes themselves. Whenever you gain one or more rune fragments, you may gain 1 temporary (round) health
You have learned to make use of the residual energy of the runes themselves. Whenever you gain one or more rune fragments, you may do one of the following, the effects last until the end of your next turn, and cannot stack on the same target.
Increase your next Defensive Action by 1 (applies to entire Parry chains)
Decrease the targets next Defensive Action by 1 (applies to entire Parry chains)
You have begun to notice the runes of the world attempting to warn you whenever you are in danger. When you are attacked, by using your Reaction, you may quickly activate the runes to cast a Half Action or faster spell with normal cost requirements. This feature is usable twice per Long Rest.
The world itself sustains and reinforces you. You gain 1 additional health per level.
There is an odd spark you have noticed when using runes to cast magic. This spark can be used to reinforce the impact of your spells, allowing you to add your Tier to damage rolls for them.
Understanding of the runes as they shift into new ones has begun to make sense to you, and with very little effort you can now prod them to do so. You may choose to automatically succeed on regaining 1 rune fragment after casting a leveled spell.
The first time on each turn that you deal elemental damage, you may deal additional damage equal to your Tier.
You may now use Flow of the World as a Simple Action instead of a Half Action.
Whenever you roll to recover fragments after casting a spell, you may add together every 1 and 2 to deal that much magical blunt damage to a target within 30 ft. of you.
Whenever you roll to recover fragments after casting a spell, you regain them on a 3 as well as a 4.
Once per Rest, upon acquiring, or spending, an adornment, you may roll 4d4 as though you are recovering rune fragments.
When you use an Adornment Effect with a spell, you may have the first spell on your following turn use one of the effects without spending an adornment.
You have grown so used to the power of your world that you have become capable of imbuing yourself with it. Once per Long Rest, you may spend a single rune fragment and a Simple Action to gain the following effects
You may reroll a number of damage dice equal to half your Tier for a single spell or among any number of weapon attacks
When you use an SP, you may roll a d6. If the result is a 6, you do not lose the SP
These effects last until the start of your next turn, where you may spend 2 more fragments to keep them until the following turn. As long as you continue to spend the 2 fragments, you can keep these effects for as long as combat continues.
Once per Extended Rest, after casting a 6th level spell, you feel the electrical energy of such power and remember the moment you Awakened as a Rune Walker. You may pull from that memory to empower yourself, gaining a bonus equal to your Tier to all Defensive Actions, contest rolls, and any stat or skill checks until the end of your next turn. This bonus is not affected by normal limitations.
You are able to inscribe runes of flowing water with the blink of an eye across a suitable object to act as a handle and summon armaments of water. You can, as a Free Action, create any mundane weapon you could feasibly wield using this skill and are proficient with that weapon.
This feature requires both Arms of the Ocean Bound and at least one other feature from another subclass. Your weapons become infused with both water and the element of your choosing from which you have taken another feature, and will have the following effects based off of that
Earth - Your first melee attack in a turn reduces the target's next defensive action by 2
Fire - Your first melee attack in a turn deals 1d4 additional damage
Air - Your first full movement in a turn takes no action points
Lightning - Your first melee attack in a turn is a half action instead of a full action
Ice - Your first melee attack in a turn has an expanded crit range equal to your Tier
Whenever you make a weapon attack using the Arms of the Ocean Bound feature, you may change it into another weapon type.
Once each round, your first Defensive Action gains +1.
Once per round, when you are the target of an attack, and by expending 2 rune fragments, you may summon forth a welling of waters to offset your target's aim. Doing so increases your Defensive Action roll against the attack by half your Tier.
You may elect to use this feature, to instead, when you take damage, have these waters rise around you and heal your wounds. This recovers your health by an amount of d6 equal to half your Tier.
Twice per Long Rest, when a target you are attacking makes a Defensive Action, you may cause waters to surge forth and shove them, throwing them off balance and reducing their result by half your Tier.
You have learned to funnel the raw power of adornments into the weapons you create, and can funnel the devastation that brings into a finisher. In order to activate this feature, you must first have made two weapon attacks this turn, then spend at least 2 adornments to use a free action and make one last weapon attack as your weapon alters and swirls with incredible energy.
If you have 7 fragments, and 1 adornment at the end of your two weapon attacks, you may expend your 7 fragments to create the last adornment and still activate this feature.
This weapon attack deals 5d12 for each adornment expended for it to the target, and half damage to each target that fails a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw in either a 20 ft. line if it is a range attack, or a 20 ft. cone if it is a melee attack. You may expend 4 fragments to force the target to be unable to make a defensive reaction to the attack.
If the target either parries or blocks, they are dealt half damage even if they succeed, and upon a successful dodge, they are considered to be part of the line or cone instead.
Once per Extended Rest, and with a Full Action, you may liquify the earth, creating magically difficult terrain in a 20 ft. line beginning anywhere within 30 ft. of you which lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Tier. While within 5 ft. of that line, you gain advantage on all melee attacks and defensive actions as liquid and stone dart from it to your assistance. Also, when you make a melee attack, a stream of stones barrage the target dealing an additional 2d4 bludgeoning damage.
For all enemies, this line is considered magically difficult terrain, and they take 1d10 bludgeoning damage at the start and end of their turns if they are in it, and when moving into it for the first time.
Heat rises from your skin as energy begins to build within you. You may use a Power Action to launch forward up to 30 ft., the energy turning into raw pressure. You then make a single melee attack against a target within 5 ft. of you and unleash the buildup. The target takes an amount of d12 blunt, and d12 fire damage equal to your Tier. All targets within a 10 ft. cone behind the target take half of the amount of total damage dealt to the initial target.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest.
You feel the surging of waters and wind within you as you prepare to become untouchable. For this, and the following round, anytime you are attacked, you may immediately counter with a weapon attack or a cantrip. If you counter with a weapon attack, add an additional damage die, and if the damage is greater than the target's damage to you, nullify their damage and their turn ends immediately.
Additionally, you create three lines of torrential winds that count as magically difficult terrain, each 5 ft. wide and up to 15 ft. long all within 50 ft. of you. A creature that starts their turn within these lines is shoved to the end of them.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest.
A sudden wave of water launches in all directions from you, hurtling into each enemy within 15 ft. and dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage. Electricity then immediately infuses the water, dealing 2d8 lightning damage. Each creature dealt damage by this has a similar gush of water launch from them, dealing the same damage to others, followed by lightning. Each target may only be damaged by this effect twice, and may only have the attack be launched from them once.
The range increases from 15 ft. to 20 ft. at level 9, and to 25 ft. at level 11. Targets may be damaged an additional time at the same level intervals.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest, and requires a Power Action.
The air in a 20 ft. radius around you frosts just before a frigid wave bursts from you. All targets within range are dealt an amount of d4 cold damage equal to half your level and must make a Body saving throw. On a failure they have their movement reduced to 0, and are incapable of making reactions until the start of your next turn.
In addition, all targets hit by this wave, until the end of your next turn, will take the damage again and must make the saving throw whenever you deal melee damage to them.
This feature may be used once per day, and requires a Full Action.
Ethereal waters shimmer at your feet as they rise to your knees and spread all the way out to 120 ft. from you in every direction. With a breath, a motion, and a power action, you may force all targets to make a Body check, taking 1d8 on a success, and being moved up to 20 ft. closer to you on a failure. Then you ignite the waters with power, shattering or sheltering targets of your choice. This deals 8d8 damage, or heals 6d6, with 2 die falling off for every 30 ft. that a target is out from you.
On your following turn, you may, with the last remnants of the waters, force targets to make the same Body check or be shoved backward by 20 ft.
This feature may only be used once per Long Rest, and costs an adornment to activate.
You brim with flowing movement and sparking energy, focusing it all into a barrage of weaving and powerful blows. With a power action and 3 adornments, you make a number of weapon attacks equal to your Mind modifier. Each time one of these attacks is blocked or parried, you instantly deal half damage to all targets within 15 ft. of you as a shockwave echoes from the strike. As long as the last attack dealt damage, the next deals twice the normal damage die.
As long as 5 of these attacks deal damage, you may end it with a free Desire of Destruction as though you spent 1 adornment.
Gain 5 health upon taking this feature. Additionally, an amount of times per day equal to your Tier, when you take damage, you may spend a single rune fragment to reduce that damage by your Mind modifier.
When you make a melee attack action, you may double your Body modifier for damage. This feature is usable once per round, and costs 1 rune fragment.
You may use Pillars of Might more than once per round, and when doing so, you may choose to, instead of rolling for fragment recovery, provide 2 temporary (round) health to a target ally within 15 ft. of you.
By using 1 rune fragment, you may crack the earth in a 10 foot radius around you, making it difficult terrain for enemies. This feature may also be used to create a 3 foot high, 10 foot wide, wall out of earth that may be used for half cover, and may only be used once per round.
By using 2 runes and a Half Action, you force the earth to wrap around the feet of any number of target enemies within 10 ft. of you. The targets must make a Body saving throw against your Spell Save DC or their movement speed is reduced to 0. Additionally, at any time before your next turn, when the earthen chains crumble, using a Free Action or Reaction, you may have the bindings shatter, dealing 2d6 piercing damage to the bound targets and any other targets within 5 feet of them.
Once per Extended Rest, and with a Full Action, you may liquify the earth, creating magically difficult terrain in a 20 ft. line beginning anywhere within 30 ft. of you which lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Tier. While within 5 ft. of that line, you gain advantage on all melee attacks and defensive actions as liquid and stone dart from it to your assistance. Also, when you make a melee attack, a stream of stones barrage the target dealing an additional 2d4 bludgeoning damage.
For all enemies, this line is considered magically difficult terrain, and they take 1d10 bludgeoning damage at the start and end of their turns if they are in it, and when moving into it for the first time.
The earth beneath you splits in a line 40 ft. long. Magma bubbles forth and melts the area in a 5 ft. width. Targets within 5 ft. of the line must make a Body saving throw or be grabbed by hands of molten earth that reach up to try to restrain them. Creatures that are grabbed take a number of d10 fire damage equal to your Tier, and have their movement speed reduced to 0. Targets take the damage again at the end of their turn, and may use a full action to make the save again.
All creatures along the width are moved to one side of it, take 4d8 fire damage, and are immediately grabbed.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest, and requires a Full Action.
The wind billows, cracking the earth and wrenching up dust and shards of stone. An aura of these winds surrounds you, reaching out to a 10 ft. radius, You may choose two other spots centered within 30 ft. of you where similar winds kick up. These zones harm and blind everyone but you and your allies, parting easily before you.
Creatures that first step into, or start or end their turns in these areas are dealt a number of d4 equal to one third your level.
Additionally, all damage dealt by creatures within these areas is at disadvantage, and you may move them up to 15 ft. as a free action on your turn.
This feature may be used once per day, and requires a Power Action.
The ground and sky shake as they heed your call. You hold your hands together, focusing power between them and earth surrounds you in a protective sphere. Lightning flashes around and inside the safe haven while small metallic spires burrow up beneath all targets within 50 ft. of you. Each target must make a Body saving throw and on a failure they take a number of d10 piercing and lightning damage equal to half your level as the spires suddenly pierce up into them and lightning is called to each one. On a success they take half as much.
You break from the sphere afterwards, sparking motes of protective earth still stuck to you. All damage dealt to you until the end of your next turn is reduced by 2.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest, and requires a Power Action.
With a stomp of your foot, the ground in a 15 ft. radius around you becomes layered with ice. All targets in range have their movement speed halved until the start of your next turn, and must make a Body saving throw. On a failure their movement speed is cut to 0 until the end of your next turn as the ice thickens around their ankles.
At the start of each target's turn that was affected by this feature, the ice beneath them shatters as stone launches from beneath it into them, dealing an amount of d6 blunt damage equal to half your level. If the target fails their body saving throw, they take an amount of d6 equal to your level instead.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest, and requires a Full Action.
By spending an adornment, and aligning yourself to the world around you, your next steps crack the earth beneath them. You gain temporary health equal to 6 * your Mind modifier. While you have this temporary HP, your melee attacks have their range increased by 5 ft. and deal an additional d6. You may also shed 6 temporary health as you make an attack to deal another 2d6 damage to any target within 15 ft. of you. If this deals damage, the target's next Defensive Action is reduced by 1.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest and is activated with a Free Action.
By calling upon the fires of the world, whenever you deal damage from a spell in a turn, you may add half your Mind modifier to the damage as fire damage.
After casting a spell, you are able to pull more from the ashes of the effect, allowing you to choose to reroll a number of dice equal to your Tier when recovering fragments.
You gain the ability to, as a Free Action, spend a single Rune Fragment and fire off a quick and sudden flare targeting a creature within 15 ft. of you. This attack deals 1d10 fire damage.
When you attack a target within 5 ft. of you, a burning hand launches from you toward them, dealing an additional 1d4 fire damage.
Heat rises from your skin as energy begins to build within you. You may use a Power Action to launch forward up to 30 ft., the energy turning into raw pressure. You then make a single melee attack against a target within 5 ft. of you and unleash the buildup. The target takes an amount of d12 blunt, and d12 fire damage equal to your Tier. All targets within a 10 ft. cone behind the target take half of the amount of total damage dealt to the initial target.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest.
The earth beneath you splits in a line 40 ft. long. Magma bubbles forth and melts the area in a 5 ft. width. Targets within 5 ft. of the line must make a Body saving throw or be grabbed by hands of molten earth that reach up to try to restrain them. Creatures that are grabbed take a number of d10 fire damage equal to your Tier, and have their movement speed reduced to 0. Targets take the damage again at the end of their turn, and may use a full action to make the save again.
All creatures along the width are moved to one side of it, take 4d8 fire damage, and are immediately grabbed.
This feature may be used once per Extended Rest, and requires a Full Action.
All around you, images become distorted with the rising heat. Fire bursts around you in a wave, out to 10 ft., dealing a number of d8 fire damage to all creatures in range equal to your Tier. The winds pick up, blessing you with speed and capacity. On your next turn, you are given 3 additional action points, and a free full movement.
All creatures who were hit by the initial burst of fire, and whenever you deal melee damage, or use a defensive reaction, the targets you did so against form a 5 ft. ring of billowing fiery winds around them. This ring deals 2d4 damage at the start of their turn, and lasts until the end of your turn. If they take 3 separate instances of damage before it goes away, the ring explodes, dealing a number of d8 fire damage equal to your Tier.
This feature may be used once per day, and requires a Full Action.
A state of raw power that might deal damage to self. Speed and explosions behind and ahead, unleashing an arcing bomb and finally exploding on a single hit
You feel your muscles grow taught, feeling the need to move as raw energy courses through you in a heartbeat. Your movement speed increases by 20, and any melee spell or attack that would require a Full action only requires a Half action. Melee attacks and defensive reactions are made at advantage, and damage dealt with them deals an additional d6, which increases to a d8 at level 9 and a d10 at level 11.
This state lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Tier.
This feature may be used twice per Extended Rest.
Waves of heat begin to release from parts of your skin, and frost builds on others as you allow these two extremes to build within you. Begin making Body saving throws with the DC starting at 12, and increasing by 1 with each success.

When you deal damage using the Amplified Strikes feature, you reduce their movement speed by 10 on their next turn. Additionally, on each instance of damage they take until your next turn that is not dealt by you, up to your Tier, you may add half your Soul stat to the damage.
When you use your Empowered Aura feature, you may reduce the movement speed of your attacker by 10 until the end of their next turn.
Targets that actively have their movement speed reduced have their first Defensive Action made against you reduced by half your Soul.
You pour Heightening, up to your Body, into a faintly glowing glyph on the ground. This glyph encompasses a 5 ft. space, and the effect reaches out a further 5 ft. in all directions. All creatures within the area have their movement reduced by 5 per Heightening you spent, and at the end of your next turn, the glyph ignites with a greyed light, dealing an amount of d10 damage equal to the Heightening you spent.
When using your Bonded Weapon, your first attack each turn sees white fire dance across the weapon, adding damage equal to your Presence.
While you have Bonded Armor on, golden fires burn across you the first time you take damage in a round. These flames have a gentle warmth that heal you by an amount equal to half your Presence.
Your emotions, both your control and the intensity in which you feel them, burn brighter than they once did. By expending a Heightening, you may double your Presence for a single roll.
You may spend a Heightening and throw any Bonded Weapon as an attack action, though it does not need to have a specific creature as a target, just a location. If the weapon does not have a throw distance, then it is 15 ft. for the sake of this feature. As it lands, there is a burst of reddened fire, and you may appear through it, quickly grabbing the fallen weapon, and making an attack action against a target within range.
You have a resource called Attunement, that you will gain over the course of combat as you draw closer to nature and the spirits around you.
Expending Attunement is what allows you to cast spells, many features also require it to activate.
You gain a number of Attunement, at the start of each of your turns, equal to your Tier.
In regards to casting spells, your first non damaging spell each round costs no Attunement, but damage focused and subsequent casts costs an amount of Attunement equal to the spells level + 1.
The maximum Attunement you can have at any time is equal to your Mind stat + your level. Upon a Rest, your Attunement count is set to your Tier.
You gain cantrips and level 1 spells immediately, and gain access to the next level of spells at the start of every Tier.
You may choose a single Signature Cantrip at level 1, and can alter them each time you level.
Spell save RT: 10 + your Tier + your Soul modifier.
You prepare Spirit Ward spells equal to your Soul + your level. Prepared spells can be changed on a Long Rest.
By expending a single point of Attunement you may activate one of the following effects as a Half Action. Additionally, the first time you activate this effect each round, it costs no Attunement.
Barrier of Thorns: You create a 15 ft. aura of twisting thorns that deal 1d6 piercing damage to all targets within range upon summoning it, and whenever they make their first move or action while within range. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
Earthly Roil: The ground beneath you twists and becomes difficult to move within for all creatures within 10 ft. of you, reducing their movement speed by 5 until your next turn.
Spiritual Wave: You force all target creatures within 20 ft. of you to make a Soul saving throw or be pushed directly away from, or pulled closer to, you by 5 ft.
Pulse of Enrage: You may Threaten all targets within 15 ft. of you. This may also be used against a singular target, within the same range, to reduce their roll by your Tier.
You ground yourself, taking a breath and connecting to the otherside that much further. Using a Half Action you may gain a single point of Attunement.
Your understanding of the ways of the spiritual world that encompasses your own have afforded you with a way to exhaust others' capacity to react. With a Half Action, and by expending a single Attunement, you may force a target creature you can see within 40 ft. of you to make a Soul saving throw against your Spell Save RT. On a failure they lose one stamina, and if they are out of stamina, you gain 1 stamina.
This feature may only be used once per Rest.
Starting at 3rd level, you have learned to open yourself to the spirits and allow them to enhance you.

This feature can only heal you a number of d4 equal to twice your Tier per Long Rest.
You beckon forth the wisdom and aid of the spirits residing nearby to you and your allies. With a Half Action, you create an aura of 10 ft. that empowers all allies within it by giving all damage and Defensive Action rolls +1 to the result. This aura lasts until the end of your next turn and may be used a number of times per day equal to twice your Tier.
The strength of nature is a powerful force that empowers your resolve, and you can provide this to a great many. You may spend a single point of Attunement at the start of your turn to create an aura of 15 ft. that increases the defense of all targets within it by 1. This feature is activated as a Free Action and lasts until the start of your next turn.
When you are dealt damage in melee, you may spend a single Attunement to deal damage back equal to your Tier. This effect lasts for all instances of melee damage you take until the end of your next turn.
When casting a spell that deals no damage, you may activate Nature’s Beckon without using Action Points.
If you have activated Nature’s Beckon at least once this round, you may activate it again to have twisting, rupturing, roots suddenly wrap around the feet and legs or any that were affected by any previous activation this round. Each target must make a Body saving throw against your spell save RT or take a number of d4 piercing damage equal to twice your Tier.
Any rolls that would allow you to gain Attunement have their range to do so expanded by 1.
You have learned to envelop only yourself in the auras you give to others, allowing you to be further strengthened by them. Whenever you activate an aura ability, you may spend an additional point of Attunement to have it affect only you, and double its effect.
You feel the rhythm of the auras and souls of those around you, tuning your own to one of them. When you activate an aura ability, and with the cost of an additional point of Attunement, you may target another creature within 30 ft. of you to also gain that same aura for as long as yours is active.
To defy the shackles of the world is the first teaching of the Winged Defiance, and you have learned it well. You gain 10 movement speed and once per Rest, when an attack of opportunity is made against you, you may Parry it without consuming your Defensive Action.
Those who would try to hold you down will only find fight and fire. Once per round when you make a Defensive Action, you may add your Tier, and on a success you may gain one Attunement.
The winds surround you like a protective blanket in times of need, pushing back against restrive effects. If you would be under an effect that would slow you, you may spend a point of Attunement to make it only half as effective until the end of your next turn. Additionally, if you would make a check against an effect that would slow you, you may do so at advantage.
Once per Long Rest and at the cost of your reaction and a point of Attunement, you may choose to automatically pass a saving throw.

Through the Horned One, life permeates powerfully, and you have learned to tap into that well of life. Whenever you take damage for the first time in a round, you may recover 1d6 health, and all allies within 30 ft. of you also recover that health.
Your connections with others run deeper through your workings with the spiritual world, and you can use this to protect them. When an ally would take damage, if they are within 30 ft. of you then you may take half of this damage once per Rest.
You pull forth a mere flash of the Horned One’s presence to rally those around you. All allies within a 30 ft. radius gain a bonus equal to your Tier to either their next instance of damage, their next saving throw, or a skill check made in the next minute. This feature requires a Half Action and may only be used twice per Long Rest.
You can smell the intent of those around you, the adrenaline and desire to overcome you, but the senses provided to you grants you a powerful edge. All targets within melee range of you have their Defensive Action rolls reduced by 1. Additionally, when your unarmed melee attacks crit, you gain a point of Attunement.
Your nails grow into claws on command, capable of rivaling the mundane weapons of man. By expending a point of Attunement, your melee weapon attacks become d6 damage die for the next minute. This increases to d8 when you reach level 5.
Upon failing a saving throw, check, or contest, you may make a Will check against the same RT to overcome it and succeed anyway. This feature may only be used once per day.
Your limbs may become your weapons, closer to that of the Claws of Desire and allowing you to attack more swiftly. By expending a point of Attunement, your unarmed melee attacks may be Half Actions instead of Full Actions.
The teachings of the Breath encompass much of the magical world, and how the rules most are bound by can certainly be broken. When casting a spell with the range of touch, it’s range may instead reach out to 15 ft.
The Eternities whispers to you of ways that your magics may be ever more effective, and you listen well. When casting spells, you may add your Soul modifier to the result. You may also roll a d6, and on a 6 you gain a point of Attunement.
The Eternities spans many things, and the movements of your allies and foes alike, are sometimes among those. At the cost of your reaction and a point of Attunement, you may impose disadvantage or advantage on a saving throw of a target creature within 30 ft. of you.
This feature may be used a number of times per Long Rest equal to your Tier.
The waves of Eternities expand your way of thinking, and the capacity of your spells. All cone spells you cast, with the additional cost of one more point of Attunement, are now half arcs of the same distance.
You gain your class resource, Mana, each turn while in combat, at a rate equal to 1 + your Tier. Whenever you cast a spell, in combat, once per turn for Cantrips, you also gain Mana equal to your Tier. Spending Mana to cast spells requires an amount of Mana equal to twice the level of the spell you are casting.
Upon taking a Rest of any sort, your Mana is set to 1 + half your level.
You have a maximum Mana limit, only ever able to hold an amount up to your Mind + your level, at any given time.
You gain cantrips and level 1 spells at level 1, and gain access to the next level of spells every other level.

Once per turn, you may use a Simple Action to gain temporary (round) health, equal to your current Mana, up to half your Mind.
Once per turn, when you cast a spell, you may gain a single point of Alignment based on the effects of the spell. These are explained below, and if a spell has effects that involve multiple Alignments, then you select one.
Life: Recovering health, providing temporary health, utilizing nature
Destruction: Dealing direct damage, destroying terrain
Motion: Increasing or decreasing movement speed, causing forced movement
Enfeeblement: Debuffing targets, causing conditions or effecting them in a negative manner that is not damage
Whenever you cast a spell, you may also expend a point of Aligned Aether as a point of Mana, or for the following effects based on the Alignment:
Life: Increase the healing of the spell by 1 additional die, or heal a target within 15 ft. of you by 1d4
Destruction: Increase the damage of the spell by 1 additional die, or deal 1d4 aetheric damage to a target within 15 ft. of you
Motion: Increase your own movement speed by 5 until your next turn, or increase the next Defensive Action you make by 2 until your next turn
Enfeeblement: Increase the amount of turns your spell's debuff effect lasts by 1, or decrease the movement of a target creature within 15 ft. of you by 5 until the end of their next turn.
You may use multiple points of Alignment on a single spell, and the effects do stack, but may only have an amount of any particular Alignment on you equal to your Tier. After combat, the Aligned Aether you were holding onto quickly fades.
Starting at 2nd level, and every time you would normally select options for your Signature Cantrip, you may select 1 additional option.
You have learned to inscribe, embed, and store both Spells and Aligned Aether. Each Long Rest you take, you may create either a Spell Scroll of a level that is up to your current Tier, or an Alignment Shard that houses a single point of Aligned Aether of your choosing.
You may hold a number of Spell Scrolls equal to your Mind, and Alignment Shards equal to your Tier.
Spell Scrolls may be used in the same manner as your normal Spells, but they can be of a spell you do not actively have prepared. Once it has been used, the Scroll is expended.
Alignment Shards may be used as a Free Action to instantly gain a point of that Alignment, and are then considered spent.
Stripping Aether of its Alignment is no easy task in concept, but your practice has made it simple in practice. As a Free Action, you may spend 2 Mana and convert one Aligned Aether of yours into Pure Aether. This may be used as any Alignment, and is necessary for the Imprinting process.
With the use of Aligned Aether, Pure Aether, and some ingenuity, you can take effects from one spell, and cast them alongside another.
The list below explains what types of effects you can enhance, or splice onto another spell, given the Alignment you expend. Imprinting costs 1 Pure Aether and 1 Aligned Aether, but there is no limit to how many times you can Imprint. Spell effects that require Concentration only last until the end of the target's next turn.
Life: You may Imprint entire healing effects, or increase the size of the die on a healing spell a single time (capping at d12)
Destruction: You may alter the damage type of the spell, increase the size of the damage die on a spell a single time (capping at d12), or copy over the damage pattern (line, cone, radius). You cannot alter the damage pattern of a touch spell.

Enfeeblement: Any effect that applies a targeted debuff
Upon taking a Long Rest, you may select one of the main Stats as your Focus of Study, and select one of the Skills attributed to that Stat to gain a bonus equal to your Tier. This lasts until your next Long Rest. You may change the Skill that gains this bonus to another Skill in the same category when taking a Short Rest.

This feature may only be used a number of times per day equal to your Mind.
By expending a use of Optical Distortion, you may send an illusion of yourself out to a space within 30 ft. of you. This illusion copies your motions, but cannot actually move, and if targeted by an attack, immediately dissipates. You can, however, cast your Signature Cantrip through it.
When you successfully make a Defensive Action, you may expend an amount of Mana up to your Mind stat, and quickly move back 5 ft., leaving behind a hazy version of yourself that suddenly explodes, dealing 1d6 for each Mana spent.
The volatility of Mana is something you have learned to utilize quite well. You may make an unarmed melee attack action, spending Mana, up to your Mind + your Tier, and ignite the power of it on contact, dealing an amount of d6 damage equal to the Mana spent.
When you take the Parry Defensive Action, you may do so using a touch or melee attack spell.
The raw power of Aetherized Destruction is something you have come to understand and utilize with great results.

When using Arcane Parry, expending a Destruction Aligned Aether, you may do so at advantage.
This feature may be used once per Short Rest.

Doing so creates an aura around the user, which reaches out to 10 ft. around them, and lasts until the end of their next turn. While inside this aura, allied creatures have their Saving Throws and Defensive Actions increased by half your Mind.
You have become adept at infusing objects with Aether to produce small, but helpful, effects. Over the course of a Short or Long Rest, you may create one of the following:
An object that, when touched by someone, produces a warning. This can be aloud, to the one who touched it, or just to you as long as you are within 150 ft. of it
Writing that can only be read with a passphrase
An object that, when floating in water, points towards a particular location you have been before
By spending an additional Mana, and one extra Action Point, you may cast a spell on an object with conditions for it to be activated.
When using Aether Infusion, you may end the Rest with 2 less Mana than usual to place one of the following effects upon an object or weapon until your next Rest:
The wielder adds +1 to all combat rolls that include the weapon
The wielder adds +1 to all Defensive Actions
The wielder gains 1 temporary (Rest) Stamina
