Fey-Tainted Tunneler Image

You were once an ordinary dwarven miner of the Emberfall clan, skilled in stonecraft and deep-tunnel scouting. Everything changed the night you followed a strange glowing rabbit into an undiscovered cavern and slipped into a fey-touched hot spring.
The magic soaked into your bones, igniting your beard, warping your senses, and leaving you permanently connected to the unpredictable whims of the Feywild.

Your clan still loves you, but the constant magical mishaps have made you something of a walking hazard. Encouraged to “seek your destiny somewhere less flammable,” you now travel to understand your new powers—hoping to master them… or at least reduce the explosions.

You carry the lingering echo of the Feywild, and small magical accidents follow you everywhere. Your beard sometimes sparks at random, your thumb glows when you lie, and you occasionally hum tunes you don’t remember learning. The fey spring didn’t just change your magic—
it changed you.

 
 
Feature: Magical Aftertaste

Your time in the fey-touched hot spring left a residue of wild magic clinging to you. Once per long rest, you can use an action to attune your senses to nearby supernatural disturbances. When you do, choose one of the following effects:

  • Detect faint magical auras within 30 feet (no school of magic revealed).

  • Sense fey influence in the area (recent presence, lingering traces, or emotional impressions).

  • Detect planar disturbance that occurred within the past 24 hours.

This sensing is instinctual and imprecise—more like a miner’s intuition than a spell—manifesting as tingles, smells, colors, or beard-sparks.
