Spellbound

Starting at 1st level, Your magic is imbued into your weaponry, allowing you to store and cast your spells with it. As an action, you can Spellbound one weapon with a range of 5 feet that you can touch and are proficient with. A weapon can be Spellbound with any spell you known and stays Spellbound with this spell until expelled, voluntarily dismissed, or upon taking a long or short rest. If voluntarily dismissed or dismissed by a rest, any consumed material component is returned. This spell is Spellbound to your weapon is cast into it at any available level (expending the appropriate spell slot, and any verbal, somatic, and material components). Spells with casting times longer than an action or bonus action require additional time to Spellbound equal to its casting time. You can have a number of Spellbounds equal to 1 at 1st level, increasing to 2 at 6th level, 3 at 14th level and 4 at 18th level. A spell that is currently Spellbound to a weapon cannot be cast by other methods.

When you make an attack using a Spellbound weapon you gain the following benefits:

- You can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for attack and damage rolls for magical weapons.

- Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d4 damage for each Spellbound on your weapon. The damage type of each d4 is determined by the spells used for the Spellbound, choosing a damage type that each spell could deal. For spells has no listed damage type, you may choice Piercing, Slashing, or Bludgeoning. This additional damage is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance.

Expelling Spellbound

Starting at 1st level, Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expel Spellbound on your weapon, allowing you to cast the spell in addition to the weapon's damage. When Expelling a Spellbound, you may do one of the following as part of your action for the turn:

- Cast the spell used for the Spellbound. You may spend 2 Sorcery points to make it so that being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on this spell's ranged attack rolls.

-  Cast the spell used for the Spellbound as a Focused Spellbound. Spells cast this way have a range of touch, must target the enemy hit with your melee attack, and all area of effect or terrain created by the spell is resized to only occupy the space of the target or yourself. The target automatically fails any saving throw that is part of the casting of this spell.

The spell's level is determined by the spell slot used during its Spellbound and does not need verbal, somatic, or material components for this casting. After you Expel a Spellbound, the Spellbound is consumed and the spell used to create it no longer considered Spellbound to your weapon. You cannot Expel a Spellbound and cast a spell as a bonus action in the same turn.
