You are possessed by a Shadow Demon that resides within you, twisting your thoughts and granting you power:
-
As a bonus action, you can summon the Shadow Demon (see the Monster Manual for its stat block). This ability cannot be used if the Shadow Demon is dead or is already summoned. The Shadow Demon acts immediately after you in the initiative order, is bound to you, and cannot move independently. When in dim light or darkness, the Shadow Demon emanates shadowy clawed tendrils that increase the reach of its Claws attack by 10 ft.
-
Once per short rest, the shadow demon can use its reaction to shield you, granting you temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier. While shielding you, the shadow demon cannot attack. The demon regains its ability to attack once all the temporary hit points are depleted.
-
If the shadow demon is killed, it regenerates at the next dawn. When it regenerates, your maximum hit points are reduced by 1d10 until you complete a long rest.
-
The shadow demon craves the hearts of good-aligned creatures. If it consumes the heart of a good-aligned creature, it becomes empowered for 24 hours. While empowered, the shadow demon’s attacks deal an additional 1d8 psychic damage, and you gain advantage on Wisdom checks and saving throws.
