Heart of Darkness[edit]
At first level, you learn the shade blast cantrip, and it is a warlock spell for you. When casting shade blast, you add your Charisma Modifier (min. 1) as bonus damage. You also have darkvision to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range is increased by 60 feet. As a bonus action, you may extinguish all nonmagical flames (no larger than a torch) within 30 feet. You also gain the warlock invocation Mask of Many Faces.
Blink[edit]
At 6th level, you may teleport 30 feet in any direction you can see as a bonus action as like the Misty Step spell. You can not cast spells after you blinked until the next round, but you can use a cantrip or do attacks. If done to instigate combat you get a surprise round. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (min 1). When you finish a long rest, you regain your expended uses.
Umbral Aura[edit]
Starting at 10th level, you exude a dark aura up to 10 feet around yourself. You become immune to necrotic damage, and allies within the aura also become immune to necrotic damage. You and your allies within the aura add your charisma modifier to stealth checks. The aura's radius increases to 30 feet at level 14.
Additionally you gain 1 eldritch invocation.
Shadow Manipulation[edit]
At 14th level, you gain the ability to trap your foes in an ethereal prison of shadow with you and your allies. When you hit with an attack, you can conjure a magical column of darkness within 80 ft that engulfs the entire area.
The targeted creature takes 5d10 necrotic damage and is restrained. A creature in the prison is blinded and no magical or nonmagical light can illuminate the prison from within. The column lasts one minute and it blocks the line of sight.
At the end, of each of the creature's turns while subjected to this effect, it may make a Wisdom saving throw against your Warlock Spell save DC. On a successful save, the creature is no longer restrained, and it may exit the prison but is blinded until the end of its next turn. On a fail, it takes additional 5d10 necrotic damage and is still blinded and restrained.
You must complete a long rest to use this feature again.
You also gain the ability to restrain your targets shadow as an action for the duration of 1 hour.

Unique Eldritch Invocations[edit]
Thanotic Blast (Prerequisite: The Shadowmaster Patron, eldritch blast)
When you cast eldritch blast, you can choose to have it deal necrotic damage. If you do so, it ignores a creature's resistance (but not immunity) to necrotic damage.
