Brand of Asgorath

• Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

• The skin around the brand is visibly burned or scarred, a constant source of low-grade discomfort when the spectral weapon is not summoned. Non-cold-blooded creatures feel a mild sense of unease when within 30 feet of you, unless they are hostile.

• As a bonus action, you can recite an incantation and cause the brand upon you to flare with intense, painful energy, manifesting a spectral melee weapon of your choice in your empty hand. You are proficient with this weapon while you wield it.

• The spectral weapon deals necrotic damage instead of its normal damage type.

• You can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls of this spectral weapon.

• Damage dealt by this spectral weapon ignores resistance to necrotic damage.

Painful Manifestation: While the spectral weapon is summoned, the brand causes you significant pain and strain. If you take damage while wielding the spectral weapon, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain it. The DC equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher. On a failed save, the weapon vanishes. You can summon it again using your bonus action on a subsequent turn.

You can dismiss the weapon as a free action. It also vanishes if you drop it, if you are incapacitated, or if you fail the Painful Manifestation save.
