Your skin and bone becomes fused with the celestial, and have become cursed. This is considered a bonus action.
If you touch the flesh of any living creature, plant, animal, or monster, with your exposed skin first, you are gifted with visions of their past life and your astral form is inserted into their mind. For the next 1d4 minutes, you are trapped witnessing these memories, and your physical form is considered prone. You are unable to attack, move, cast spells, or speak for the duration you are trapped inside their mind. This will not work if your skin is covered by any form of 1 inch fabric, metal, barrier, or gel solvent. The event ends after the duration is complete, and cannot work on the same creature twice until you take a short rest.
On the contrary, any sentient creature who touches you first must succeed a Wisdom saving throw, the DC matching your own Wisdom score or spellcasting save DC. On fail, for the next 1d4 minutes, they are trapped experiencing one of your memories which is also determined by the memory table. They are considered prone and are unable to attack, move, cast spells, or speak for the duration they are trapped inside your mind.
At 6th Level and higher, you are able to choose which memory you wish to experience from said creature.
At 9th Level and higher, you are able to choose which memory a creature sees when they touch you.
At 15th Level, your flesh has learned to harness the curse. When you touch a creature, plant, animal, or monster of your choosing, you must roll a successful Wisdom save to able to control your curse, whether you wish to use it or not. On a fail save, you see a memory into their past life.
Your DM could roll on the following table to determine what memory you are pulled into. If you touch a party member, speak with them to determine what your character sees/experiences.
