Your magical power grows stronger by the day, yet source of your magic within you hungers for more power. You must consume others' magic in order to satisfy that hunger.
You gain the following benefits:
Expanded Spell List. You learn the Dispel Magic and Counterspell spells, if you do not know them already. You can cast them each for free once per day. When performing this free casting, you have advantage on the check with Dispel Magic, and your target has disadvantage on the save against your Counterspell.
Magic Absorption. Whenever a spell that you have cast ignores, absorbs, or deflects damage from another spell, you regain Hit Points equal to the level of the spell. The minimum that can be gained from this spell is 1, even if the spell was a cantrip, such as Resistance. This effect also applies to the two spells learned upon gaining this feat. The Hit Points regained from those, however, are determined based on the level of the spell that was dispelled/countered, with a minimum of the level of the spell slot used.
However, you gain the following drawbacks:
Magical Starvation. Your body suffers consequences if you do not do the effects of Magic Absorption within a certain amount of time. If you have a short rest, and did not absorb any magic since your previous rest, your healing from the short rest will be reduced by 1d4. If you have a long rest, and did not absorb any magic since your previous long rest, you will lose one spell slot. Your character will not regain this spell slot until they absorb magic using Magic Absorption, then complete a long rest.
The above effects increment after a long rest with no Magic Absorption. So, for example, if your character has not used Magic Absorption for the length of two long rests, the short rest healing is reduced by 2d4, and the character has lot access to two spell slots. Performing a Magic Absorption would end the effect on a short rest, but the next long rest would only restore one of the lost spell slots.
