Haligtree Charge

Starting at 15th level, you can expend a spells slot to charge forward with your spear, and all creatures in front of you must make a Dex save against your spells save DC.

While poisoned this way they have a disadvantage on strength and dex rolls, and take 1d8 poison damage at the start of each of their turns. At the end of the target turn, they can make a Con save against your spell DC to end the effect early. You can only spend a spell slot this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus every long rest.

As an action, you expend a spell slot and you swing your scythe in an arc in front of you unleashing a wave of golden light. Every creature in a 30 foot cone in front of you make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 radiant damage for each level of the spell slot you expended, half as much on a successful save. You can only spend a spell slot this way a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier every long rest.

Scarlet Aeonia

At 20th level, as an action, you let the full bloom of scarlet rot channel into a massive flower, dealing damage and poisoning everyone around you.

Each creature within 20 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take 6d12 poison damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful save. A creature that fails the save is poisoned for 10 minutes and may repeat the save at the end of each turn to try to end the effect.

After using this feature, for the next 10 minutes, you have unlimited 1st-level spell slots for the use of your forms of the Haligtree.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
