Through mysterious circumstances or a deep connection to the forces of shadow and light, you have gained the forbidden power to open a Dark Fountain; portals to strange, dreamlike realms where the rules of reality twist. Using an object that is able to pierce the ground, harness your emotions, think about what you want, and stab the earth. These fountains are gateways to Dark Worlds, places rich in magic, danger, and symbolic meaning.
You gain the following benefits:
-
Open a Fountain. As an action, you may attempt to open a Dark Fountain at a location of your choosing. Doing so requires intense emotional focus and consumes a use of this ability. You may do this once per long rest.
-
Dark World Knowledge. You gain proficiency in Arcana. If you already have both, you may instead double your proficiency bonus for one of them when interacting with magic from a Dark World.
-
Heart of Determination. You gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened while inside a Dark World or near a Dark Fountain.
-
DM's Note: A Dark Fountain should not be treated lightly. It changes the environment and tone of the adventure, turning familiar places surreal or symbolic. The realms they lead to are often metaphysical, tied to emotions, themes, or unresolved conflicts.
