Fey Transformation Level 2
Becoming a fey requires a direct connection to the faerie realms. Most creatures who become fey are forced to do so when they are stolen from the material realm as a child. These children, known as changelings, rapidly transform after only a few days trapped in the realm of faerie. A changeling’s transition is often painful or strange, for a child altered in this way does not have a say in what type of fey they ultimately become. A creature who voluntarily seeks to become a fey can strike a deal with an arch fey or beseech the court of one of the faerie queens. These pathways to transformation are as dangerous as the realms of faeries themselves, and it requires a quick wit and sharp awareness to get the best of the fey kind.

Transformation Level 2
At 2nd level, you can pick one of the following Transformation Boons. In addition, you also gain this level’s Transformation Flaw.
Magic Tricks (Boon): Your transformation grants you inner power, which manifests as the ability to cast a small number of spells.
You learn one illusion or enchantment cantrip.
In addition, choose one 1st level and one 2nd level illusion or enchantment spell. You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast them in this way when you finish a short or long rest. CHA is your spellcasting ability for these spells. When you finish a long rest you can replace your 1st or 2nd level spell with a spell of the same level which much also be an enchantment or illusion spell.
Queen’s Command (Flaw): The fey court lends you its power, and in exchange, you must pay regular tribute to maintain your freedom. Twice a year, at the winter and summer solstice, you must deliver a treasure or other significant tribute to the winter or summer queen (whichever you pay allegiance to). If you do not provide a tribute by the appointed day, your queen pulls you immediately to her faerie realm.
Once pulled in this way, you must remain in the faerie realm for 100 years, or until you strike a bargain with the queen to let you return to the mortal plane. Your GM will tell you what constitutes an appropriate tribute to the court. Some fey queens prefer magic items while others wish for long-kept secrets, the capture of fey criminals, or humanoid servants.
