You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Trickster Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

To this end you will have a Trickery die which is a d6 at 1st level, d8 at level 6, d10 at level 12, a d12 at level 16 and a d20 at level 20. You can increase your to hit for a spell, the DC of a spell saving throw or give the target disadvantage by expending a jade crystal and rolling your trickery die which you will add to a to hit or the DC of a spell saving throw if you use it like that. Or if you're giving them disadvantage you simply use the crystal when casting the spell but you can only use one crystal per turn. When you use a crystal if it hits a creature it will imbed in the creature and give you a plus equal to half a trickery die roll rounded down to successive spell attacks. If a creature with an imbedded jade crystal dies you may pick up that crystal with a bonus action provided you are within 120 feet of it. You may also trade jade crystals out for an amount of sorcery points (1 crystal = 2 sorcery points) however you may only gain these jade crystals back after a short rest if you turned them into sorcery points.

On the turn they were summoned and on consecutive turns using a bonus action you can use up to 4 knives summoned to throw at targets up to 100 feet away. You can either throw all 4 at a single target to do an AOE attack where all creatures within 20 feet of the impact have to make a dex saving throw or take 3 deck dice of damage + charisma modifier and be stunned for one round and take half as much on a failed save, or you can throw knives at individual targets doing 2d6 + charisma of force damage.

Also if you roll a 1 instead you take double damage but also do double damage for the same amount of attacks you rolled a 1 for. For instance if you use this ability on 5 seperate attacks and you roll a 1 on all 5 then you can do double damage on 5 of your attacks.
