You gain the following benefits.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Creating your Soulcage. Choose a Tiny object of great significance to you. You spend a Long Rest anchoring your soul to this object, allowing you to consume the souls of the living to bolster your own power. You can only have one Soulcage at a time. If you create a second Soulcage, the old one is destroyed.
Soulcage Inspiration. An acorn from a forest destroyed long ago; a love letter from a deceased paramour; the inkwell that you used to scribe your first spell or prayer; the defaced holy symbol of a god you've denounced; a bell whose toll becomes lower with each soul you collect; a dessicated body part - such as an eye, finger, or horn - that was once a part of you or someone you knew.
Soulcage Destruction. Your Soulcage's Armour Class equals your spell save DC, and it has a number of Hit Points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier plus you character level. If your Soulcage is destroyed, you gain 2 Exhaustion levels, and you can't use the Soul Siphon ability until you create a new one.
Soul Siphon. When you reduce a Humanoid enemy to 0 Hit Points, or when a Humanoid within 10 feet of you is reduced to 0 Hit Points, you can consume its soul and gain a boost of arcane energy (no action required). On your next turn, the first creature you hit with an attack takes extra Necrotic damage equal to 1d6 plus your spellcasting ability modifier. A soul consumed in this way can only be restored by a True Resurrection or Wish spell.
