Fey-Bequeathed Image

You weren’t just born; you were sponsored. An Archfey of the Summer or Gloaming Court took a shine to your lineage—perhaps due to a debt, a whim, or a cosmic bet—and claimed the role of your "Godparent." Your childhood was marked by silver spoons that occasionally turned into frogs and a "Guardian" who appeared in mirrors to offer cryptic advice or fashion tips. You are a bridge between the mundane and the mercurial.

 
Feat: Fey Touched
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Persuasion
Languages: Sylvan
Equipment:set of fine clothes (that never seem to get dirty), a signet ring or locket containing a lock of fairy hair, a silver thimble or cold iron whistle (a gift to keep "lesser" spirits away), a small mirror that reflects your "true" fey-touched form, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
 
Feature: Fey Sponsorship
Your connection to your Archfey Godparent has physically altered your essence.
  • Fey Gift: You gain the Fey Touched feat.
  • Supernatural Etiquette: You know the local customs and etiquette of the Feywild. While in the Feywild or dealing with fey creatures, you can always find a place to hide or a friendly face to provide a meal, provided you haven’t insulted your Godparent’s specific court.
 
Spell List

If you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic class feature, the spells on the Fey-Bequeathed Expanded Spells table are added to the spell list of your class. These spells focus on the hallmark of fey power: the manipulation of the mind, the weaving of illusions, and the absolute mastery of appearances. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)

Spell Level Spells
Cantrip eldritch blast, minor illusion
1st charm person, faerie fire, sleep
2nd enthrall, mirror image
3rd blink, major image
4th confusion, greater invisibility
5th mislead, seeming

Unlike the rigid formulas of a wizard or the desperate prayers of a cleric, your magic manifests with a specific, otherworldly aesthetic unique to your sponsor. When you cast these spells, the air might smell of honeysuckle and ozone, or the shadows might lengthen and bow as you pass.
