Paragon of the Deadlights is a form of eldritch empowerment granted only to those who consume the very essence of the deadlight dragon. This feat imbues them with the fractured brilliance of the void creatures—serpentine beings suspended between the night sky's shimmering stars. Those with this connection are no longer mere mortals in battle; they become walking cataclysms, embodying the chaotic terror of the cosmic unknown and wielding the terrifying power of deadlights to unmake both minds and matter alike. The transformations accompanying this feat put a severe toll on the individual’s body and mind, slowly unraveling their corporeal form with each use of its cosmic power.
Voidglare. As a bonus action, you may emit a burst of deadlight energy from your eyes in a 30-foot cone. All creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become blinded for 1d4 rounds. If a creature fails this saving throw by 5 or more, they are also driven to madness, suffering from the 'Confusion' effect for 2 rounds (no saving throw). You can use this ability once per long rest.
Deadlight Resilience. Your transformation grants you resistance to psychic and necrotic damage, reflecting the paradoxical nature of the deadlight dragon's power: simultaneous creation and destruction. Additionally, whenever you take radiant or necrotic damage, you can use your reaction to teleport up to 60 feet in any direction, leaving a trail of ephemeral deadlight afterimages, which linger for 1 round and can confuse enemies. Any creature that passes through one of these afterimages must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on its next attack roll.
(Alignment Stipulation). Chaotic Alignment. Characters who gain the abilities of the deadlight dragon can no longer maintain lawful alignments due to the sheer chaotic energy infused within them.
