Hallowed Adventurer

You were raised as a member of a wolf family, who took care of all your needs. You had a great time, until one day, you secretly snuck out to find something, and found a ghost! It was very kind, and asked for you to be its son. Willingly thinking about the wolf pack, you said no to the great offer and retreated. Over the years, though, you and the ghost grew up and became willing to leave the cave. Soon, you left the cave to start a new life.

Spell List

Spell Level	Spells
Cantrip	light

You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.
If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.
