-
Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Spellcraft of Creation. You learn the Vessel of Flesh spell. It counts as a class spell for you, and you can cast it once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast it this way after finishing a long rest.

Arcane Repair. When tending to or repairing a homunculus you created, you can restore a number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus once per short rest.
Flavors of Creation.
Those who master this feat often display subtle marks of their art — faintly luminous veins, the scent of mercury, or eyes that reflect light like glass.
Some take this path in pursuit of understanding life itself. Others do so for love, loss, or vanity — seeking to restore what should remain gone, or to shape something in their own image. Such homunculi may whisper familiar words, echo beloved gestures, or dream dreams not their own.
Every creator claims control. Few truly have it.
