A strange, tingling aura surrounds your body. A trace of an event, whether an accident or a circumstance, when you have been exposed to an immense amount of energy from a powerful source of magic. This event has leaved a mark on you, be it physical or psychical.
The event can be for example you touching an ancient artefact, attempting or being present at a successful or failed ritual, or being hit by a spell or curse that was supposed to kill you.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
