Upgraded Inteligence

Starting at 6th level, as you transform in the creature that you recently analyzed it's essence, you gain some additional options while you are transformed.

While transformed, if you reduce an enemy to 0 HP you can as a reaction extract some of It's essence to heal 2d6 hit points, you can use this trait a number of times equal to your charisma modifier.
additionally, while still transformed, If you have 2 or more ESSENCES analyzed, you can use an bonus action to instantly transform between one to another creature, not regaining any hit points and maintaining the current hit points and any hit points exceeding the maximum of the transformation will be considered temporary (not healable) hit points until the transformation ends or you change to another creature that has more HP, this also does not reset the 10 minute timer of the transformation.

When the duration of the transformation ends the device needs to recalibrate itself for the next two hours before being used again.

Beginning at 10th level, while transformed if you expend your action you can force the device to simulate one thousand years of evolution in seconds, although being an excruciating pain inducing experience, almost 10x worse than the normal transformations, you as a result gain the following benefits until the end of the transformation (or you be reduced to 0 HP)..

You can grant an bonus of +2 in two stats of your choice, but not the same one, example: +2 Dex, +2 Con.
Additionally you gain 10 temporary HP, but when the transformation ends as a result of forcing your body into that type of stress you suffer 2d10+Con. modifier of damage, ignoring any resistances or immunities you might have. 
If you are reduced to 0 HP with this damage, you fall unconscious and you instantly get 1 failed Death Save.

Master Control

Starting at 14th level, after all you've been through, every task, every day and night, the being that bestowed this immense power, finally tells you It's motive for creating this device, this.. weapon
You are in awe as you hear the beings motives being.. [DM'S CRITERIA]
And now you know, the purpose, the real mission, the new path that you must go If you really wish to maintain this power.
If you accept the beings conditions, It will give you the Master control of It's device, meaning you gain the following benefits:

You don't need to use a bonus action to change transformations anymore, you can do it as a free action, the duration of 10 minutes changes to 3 hours and if you expend a warlock spell slot when transforming you regain half of your max HP.

[OPTIONAL] - THE MASTER

An optional class feature with the sole purpose of lore building and maybe adding a twist at the DM's criteria. [20th level]

.

"You feel the connection between you and this living device stronger than before.."

The very next day you wake up after reaching level 20, the alien being who granted you this device says that is now the time for you to know something, the truth.

As you wake up you have found your new purpose, the true mission is: ...[DM/PLAYER CRITERIA].

And now, when you gaze at the watch on your wrist you see something, peculiar, a new essence.

"What you are going to do now?"

"You feel it pulsating again, more violently and you could even hear a faint sound of breathing that sends a shiver down your spine"
