Spellscars first appeared as a consequence of the Spellplague of 1385 DR. In the following years, some creatures and factions, like the Order of Blue Flame, often sought out to obtain spellscars in what were referred to as Scar Pilgrimages.

Spellscars usually leave no visible mark, although some appeared as physical deformities. However, all spellscars left a marking of blue flame of some form in the bodies of those afflicted, that manifested when the spellscar was activated.

Spellscar could also slow aging in a rare few, resulting in humans living up to 4x longer.

Spell List

Spellscars were charged with powerful arcane power. Those few who could master their spellscars to their gain, were able to manifest strange arcane powers that gave them mastery over fire-based abilities or abilities that could warp or deform reality in some form. Some could even tap into spellfire.

Spellfire

Evocation cantrip
Casting time:	1 action
Range:	Self
Components:	V, S, M (A pinch of ash)
Duration:	10 minutes

You conjure bluish-white arcane fire in the palm of your hand. While holding this, the flames shed bright light for 10 feet and sheds dim light in an additional 10 feet. Objects ignited with this spell last as long as the duration. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you cast it again.

You can also make a ranged attack by hurling the flame at a creature within 60 feet. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage and is considered ignited by the spell. At the start of each of an ignited creature's turns, they can make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are considered to still be lit. At the end of an ignited creature's turn, they take 1d4 fire damage. The DC for this throw is equal to your spell save DC.

The damage of this spell increases by 1d4 at 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4). The igniting effects of the spell also increases by 1d4 at 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).

Suggested Characteristics

Many who become Spellscarred recall little of their life before the events that caused it. They often feel as if they are being watched by an unknown entity who is trying to desperately communicate something important. Whatever the message is cannot be understood, and whenever the Spellscarred tries to explain this feeling, it's fleeting, as if trying to recall a dream. This may cause the Spellscarred to search for meaning in trivial things, and having short moments of extreme empathy and concern followed by immediate disdain.

While on normal lands in the material plane, a Spellscarred is often forgetful. They typically live in a somewhat catatonic dreamlike state, making them immune to fear. This can worsen, improve, or fluctuate over time.

While on plagued lands, extraplanar dimensions, cursed lands, or lost by magical means, the Spellscarred is clear thinking and astute. They may recall parts of their earlier lives, and often clearly remember the events leading up to the scarring. They may suddenly understand the entity trying to communicate with them, and feel compelled to obey its requests above all else.

Pilgrim Variant:

The Order of Blue Flame, sometimes referred to as the Order of Blue Fire, was an organization whose members often sought out plaguelands in what were referred to as Scar Pilgrimages.The Order also operated many hospices whose mission was to aid those infected by the Spellplague. Because of the Order's good works, they were usually welcomed within cities. However, the Order of Blue Flame's public face and its true motives were very different. The Order's true belief was that the Spellplague was a holy event and members believed plaguelands should be expanded.

The Order's most active chapter was located in Ormpetarr and was led by the elven wizard Vraith until her death. While some members of the Order were interested in studying the effects of the Spellplague, others such as Vraith were actually interested in expanding the area of plaguelands.
