Planar Servantv1.4

Planar Servant Magic wasn't always a part of your life. Your family was a part of the financial elite and paid for your entrance into the Planar School of Magic. Your third year of schooling, you were introduced to the plane of which you studied so much. This is where you are taught to bind a planar creature to yourself. You are able to draw magic from this link, allowing you to cast spells and summon a phantasm of the planar creature. This planar creature is chosen carefully, because once you have made your pact it cannot be undone.

Master or servant, your connection eternally intertwines your fates.

Planar Bond

At 1st level, you form a permanent bond with one of the following types of planar creatures(examples are given for each type). 

Genie: Djinni, Dao, Efreeti, Marid, ect..
Mephit: Ice mephit, Magma mephit, Mud mephit, ect..
Aberration: Ultroloth, Slaadi, Gibbering Mouther, Xorn, ect..
Beast: Wolf, Arcanaloth, Bear, Rakasha, Tiger, ect..

*Each type provides different benefits.

As an action, you may spend any combination of sorcery points and/or spell slot levels equal to your sorcerer level to summon a lifelike Planar Phantasm of your Planar Creature. This magic requires an unusually high amount of energy making it difficult to stifle, all ability checks made to counterspell or dispel this spell are made at disadvantage. The phantasm lasts for a number of hours equal to your charisma modifier, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The phantasm appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 5 feet of you. You are unable to summon the phantasm if your Planar Creature is already on the same plane of existence.

Add your proficiency bonus to the phantasm's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls. Its hit point maximum equals four times your sorcerer level. Unlike most creatures, your phantasm's health pool can only be healed by re-summoning, or by the Planar Mending ability. As a phantasm, the planar creature is not proficient with any armor or equipment and is unable to use magical items. It looses all fly, climb, or swimming movement it previously had but may hover a few feet off the ground.

The Planar Creature's consciousness is pulled into the phantasm. In combat, the phantasm shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The phantasm and its owner have a 30 foot, telepathic link in which they can use to communicate. When the phantasm speaks, its translation is lost through the planes. It looses the ability to speak any languages it could normally, but is able to understand any languages that the sorcerer understands.

When the Planar Phantasm's health drops to 0 or below, your planar link is damaged and your phantasm fades. The phantasm cannot be re-summoned until you complete a long rest.
