Spirit-Bond(Variant)

A Spirit Bond is a class centred around maintaining a second summoned presence in the world.

In addition to your own character, you will have a second semi-permanent summon in play under your control to use as you see fit. the connection between you and this summon, or Spirit Bond, is more than ordinary friendship and can manifest in many ways. If you're looking for a summoner build focus with light spell casting, this class should fit you very well.

What is your Bond?

Sometimes a soul is to great to be housed in an typical vessel. When this happens a soul is often split so that at least one part can live its life; The remaining part often drifts among the planes and never returns. Some, however do return and find who they were broken from. If reunited they will often take on characteristics from its brief travel through the planes. perhaps the other part of your soul drifted in and out of the elemental planes. Maybe it drifted up to the celestial realms or visited one of the hells before returning. Once united with it's original self, it does everything it can to help its previous part of itself.

Your form becomes immutable and cannot be changed by others without your consent.

Spell Analyzing Construct.

At 6th level, when you or your bond is damaged or targeted by a spell of 1st level or higher, you can use your reaction to capture the spell at the level it was cast. Once you have a spell captured. you can use an action/bonus-action (as appropriate for the spell) to cast the spell yourself, expending a bond surge in the process. You can only store one spell at a time, and you loose access to the captured spell for the following reasons:

• if you try to capture another spell and don't have room to store it.
• if you use your action/bonus-action to cast the captured spell,
• if you store a spell that has already been cast by you since your last long rest(even if it is at a different level)
• if you complete a long rest.

Limitation Removed: your bond is no longer limited to forms that cannot hover.

You lose this boon the next time you use your Spirit Bond feature or revive your bond with your Bolstered Spirt feature.

Spirit Bond Spell List

Cantrips

Name	Cast Time	Range	Duration	Concentration	V,S,M	Description
Toll the Dead	Action	60ft	Instantaneous	N	V,S	You point at one creature you can see within range, and the sound of a dolorous bell fills the air around it for a moment. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d8 necrotic damage. If the target is missing any of its hit points, it instead takes 1d12 necrotic damage. (This damage is increased to 2d8/2d12 at 5th level, 3d8/3d12 at 11th level, 4d8/4d12 at 17th level)
Green-Flame Blade	Action	Self (5ft-Radius)	1 Round	N	S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)	You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and you can cause green fire to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 2d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 3d8). (This damage is increased to 2d8/2d12 at 5th level, 3d8/3d12 at 11th level, 4d8/4d12 at 17th level)
Booming Blade	Action	Self (5ft-Radius)	1 Round	N	S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)	You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends. At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).
True Strike	Action	30ft Radius	Up to 1 minute	Y	S	You extend your hand and point a finger at a target in range. Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target’s defences. On your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target, provided that this spell hasn’t ended.
Encode Thoughts	Action	Self, Touch	8 Hours	Y	S	Putting a finger to your head, you pull a memory, an idea, or a message from your mind and transform it into a tangible string of glowing energy called a thought strand, which persists for the duration or until you cast this spell again. The thought strand appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you as a Tiny, weightless, semisolid object that can be held and carried like a ribbon. It is otherwise stationary. If you cast this spell while concentrating on a spell or an ability that allows you to read or manipulate the thoughts of others (such as detect thoughts or modify memory), you can transform the thoughts or memories you read, rather than your own, into a thought strand. Casting this spell while holding a thought strand allows you to instantly receive whatever memory, idea, or message the thought strand contains. (Casting detect thoughts on the strand has the same effect.) Casting this spell while touching a willing target allows you both to relive the memory stored in the thought strand.
Guidance	Action	Touch	Up to 1 minute	Y	V,S	You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends.
Ghostly Weapon	Action	Touch	Up to 1 minute	Y	V,S	You siphon a slip of energy away from your bond in order to enhance an ally temporarily. The ally's weapons are now considered magical in regards to resistance against mundane attacks and will deal an extra 1d4 force damage to all creatures within 5 ft. This spell consumes 1 Bond Surge. Beginning at 5th level, you may expend another bond surge to cause the weapon to deal 1d8 force damage. This increases at 11th level, allowing you to expend yet another bond surge to deal another 1d8 force damage in a 10ft radius. This increases at 17th level again, allowing you to expend a final additional bond surge to deal another 1d8 force damage to all creatures and use a bonus action to make an extra attack.
Sacrifice of Spirit	1 Minute	30ft	Instantaneous	Y	V,S	You can allow any creatures within range to immediately use a number of hit dice equal to double the amount of bond surges used when casting this spell. This health can be divided anyway you wish among the targets. This spell consumes 1 Bond Surge per every 2 hit dice healed. Additionally, any healing not given to your spirit is given to your spirit as damage halved. If a creature uses over half their hit dice through this spell they will gain a level of exhaustion for ever hit dice expended after using half.
Blade Ward	Action	Self	1 Round	N	V,S	You extend your hand and point a finger at a target in range. Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target’s defences. On your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target, provided that this spell hasn’t ended.
Sapping Sting	Action	30ft	Instantaneous	N	V,S	You sap the vitality of one creature you can see in range. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 necrotic damage and fall prone.
