Unholy Sword. As a bonus action, you shout a command word, forming a black great sword in your hands, made of dark energy, for 1 minute. Only you can wield this weapon, and it deals 3d6 necrotic damage instead of 2d6 slashing damage. When you let go of the weapon, it disappears, but you can bring it back to your hands as a bonus action. If you are attuned to at least one magic melee weapon, you can choose for your Unholy Sword to take on the properties of one magic melee weapon you are attuned to of your choice.

Devour. As a bonus action, you can turn a nearby corpse into a dark, almost blackish ooze and absorb it into your body, healing yourself for 10% of your max Hit Points.
