Magic flows strongly through your veins, and you can further enhance even the strongest magic items or be a living lighting rod of magical energy.
When you complete a long rest, you can touch a magic item and infuse it with powerful but unstable, raw magic. You can expand a slot of up to 3rd to overload the weapon with mystical energy, causing it to deal an extra +1 (up to 3, depending on the slot used), force damage on a hit. If the item holds any charges, the item regains as many expended charges as the spell slot level expended.
However, if the creature holding this infused weapon rolls a 1 on an attack roll, the item's excessive magic malfunctions and explodes. The wielder of the overloaded weapon takes 2d4 + your SAM + your proficiency bonus, and every creature within 10ft of it takes half as much. A weapon infused by this feat reverts to its original state if it malfunctions, or after you finish a long rest.
As a reaction, when a ranged spell attack targets a creature within 10ft of you, you can choose to redirect the arcane energy onto yourself. The spell or magical effect automatically hits you instead of its original target, but you only take half the damage. Once you do this, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
