Astral Grimoire of Vaelith the Star-Blooded
tome is bound in midnight-blue dragonhide and reinforced with silver filigree resembling constellations. Its pages appear blank until opened by a sorcerer, whereupon glowing runes emerge like stars in the night sky.
The book is warm to the touch, pulsing in rhythm with the owner's heartbeat.
Legend claims it was written by Vaelith, the first mortal born beneath the Falling Star,
Font of Arcane Blood
While attuned, your maximum Sorcery Points increase by 3.
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you gain 3 temporary Sorcery Points. These temporary points vanish when you next complete a Long Rest and can exceed your normal maximum.
Stellar Conduit
The grimoire serves as a living focus for your innate magic.
- The book can be used as a spellcasting focus for your Sorcerer spells.
- You gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls and your spell save DC while holding the tome.
- When you cast a spell that deals radiant, force, psychic, or necrotic damage, you may change the damage type to one of those four types.
Falling Star Invocation
The stars answer your call.
As a bonus action, you may spend 3 Sorcery Points to summon a fragment of celestial power at a point you can see within 60 feet.
Choose one creature in a 15-foot radius sphere. Each creature of your choice in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC.
- On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8 force damage and is knocked prone.
- On a successful save, it takes half damage and isn't knocked prone.
Once used, this feature can't be used again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.
Constellation Script
As you grow in power, the grimoire records your magical achievements.
Whenever you learn a new Sorcerer spell, silver starlight etches the spell's name somewhere within the tome. These writings shift nightly, creating new celestial maps.
As an action, you may consult the shifting constellations and regain 1 expended Sorcery Point.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until dawn.
Heartbeat of the First Star
When reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, the grimoire erupts with stellar light.
You instead drop to 1 hit point, regain 3 Sorcery Points, and immediately cast a Sorcerer spell of 3rd level or lower without expending a spell slot.
After using this feature, it cannot be used again for 7 days.
Notes: requires attunement by a Sorcerer by a reading it on a night of a full moon or opening it near a falling star
