Demonic Mark

Also at 3rd level, you gain a demonic mark that holds vast amounts of demonic power. As a Bonus Action, you are able to activate it making you stronger and faster at a cost of your sanity. This mark lasts for 1 hour, and it ends early if you are incapacitated, dead, or targeted by a remove curse or similar spell. Once you use this feature you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.

While the mark is active, you gain the following benefits:

• Demonic Nature. You gain resistance to poison, lightning and fire damage.

If you have your Extra Attack feature, you can choose whether to use it for this frenzied attack. If more than one creature is equally near to you, roll randomly to determine your target. Once your attack is resolved, you regain control of yourself.
