Reiki Cursed (2024)

The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy.  When cursed, a magical person is blocked from normal access to their magic.  This block causes natural magical ability to manifest differently.

Infusion

The magic in your body manifests physical traits of your magical gift. Your Hit Point maximum increases by 6, and it increases by 2 whenever you gain another Sorcerer level.

Your physical form is refined. You are slightly faster and more agile when unencumbered. While you aren’t wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.  Movement rate is increased by 10ft.

Your senses are increased.  You gain Darkvision to 60ft.  If you already have Darkvision, your ability increases by 60ft.  Your sense of taste, touch, and hearing are also increased giving you a bonus to your passive perception.

Restricted Casting

You do not gain any additional spells at this time.  You lose significantly.  You no longer have the ability to cast anything with a range beyond self or touch.

You gain a spell attack modifier.  Your dexterity and charisma modifiers are used for any touch attack roll.  You also have advantage on any saving throw you roll related to your spells and spell effects.

You are not restricted to sorceror spells.  You can learn and cast spells from any spell list that are within your restricted casting limits.

Instinctual Magic

At 6th level, You can cast the shield spell without preparation.  You can do this a number of times day equal to your proficiency modifier.

At 10th level, You gain the shield of faith spell.  This spell is also useable without preparation but can only be cast on you.  It not a concentration spell for you.  It can be used a number times per day equal to your proficiency modifier and does not share a spell count with the shield spell.

Boundless Form

At 14th level,  Your infusion skill grows in strength.  You now have the ability to force your body beyond its limits. Your magic distorts your body to cause the following effects for one minute:

• You gain temporary hit points equal to 40 + 3d8.

• Your movement rate increases temporarily by 20ft. 

• Your armor class is increased by 5 due to thickened skin or scales.

Failing a concentration check or losing consciousness will cause you to revert back to normal.  This ability takes a heavy toll on the body limiting you to one use per day.   

Boundless Art

At 18th level, Your spell casting grows in potency due to the restriction you live under.  Your touch spell attacks add 2d10 + CHA in damage and your self only spells have double the duration.
