This dust flows with the cosmos and is colored as so, deep red, deep blues, blacks, and specks of white, swirling. When the Astral Dust is consumed, the user gains permanent Truesight up to thirty feet and gains the ability to read, write, speak, and understand Celestial, Infernal, Abyssal, and Primordial. The user also gains a plus two bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. For an hour, the user can cast the following spells at will and without expending spell slots:
Cantrips: Spare the Dying*, Magic Stone
1st Level: Expeditious Retreat, Silent Image, Dissonant Whispers, Identify
2nd Level: Magic Mouth
3rd Level: Clairvoyance, Sending, Major Image
5th Level: Contact Other Plane
6th Level: Word of Recall
7th Level: Plane Shift, Project Image, Etherealness*
8th Level: Telepathy
9th Level: True Resurrection*
The user must make difficulty class twenty Constitution saving throws every hour, or every five spells they cast, or suffer Astral Backlash, taking ten ten-sided dice of Psychic damage and take a level of exhaustion. On a success, the damage is halved and no exhaustion is gained. When the user dies from exhaustion this way, they instead turn into a spectral form.
Resistance, False Life, Detect Magic, Silence, Darkvision, Levitate, and Greater Invisibility is cast automatically, and lasts indefinitely, when the user casts Etherealness only. Etherealness from the Astral Dust lasts until the user dismisses it as an action, movement does not take one extra foot, you can see others who are in the border ethereal, everything looks purple, blue and black instead of gray, and can see their regular sight distance. True Resurrection only casts when the user automatically dies in the border ethereal, and resurrects them in the material plane.
