The shard represents one of the following elements: Force, Radiant, Psychic, Thunder, or Necrotic. This is decided upon the items reveal in game. This element affects certain abilities granted by this item.
This shard grants you a fraction of the power of a long dead gem dragon. You gain the following benefits:
Crystal Breath. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Gem Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. You can use this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
Crystal Resistance. You gain resistance to this shards element.
Psionic Mind. You can send telepathic messages to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand these messages, but it must be able to understand at least one language to comprehend them.
