Keeper of the Ancient Ways

Velindra preserves forms of magic predating even modern Ylissian spellcraft.

She gains:

• Advantage on Arcana, Nature, Medicine, Insight and Survival checks.
• She always knows whether a creature, object, or place is affected by a curse, blessing, disease, or magical corruption after observing it for 1 minute.
• Detect Magic, Detect Poison and Disease, and Speak with Animals are always prepared and may each be cast once without expending a spell slot per short or long rest.

Royal Hedge Witch

Years spent tending villages and the wilds have made Velindra a master of practical magic.

Whenever she casts a Wizard spell that restores hit points, removes a condition, or protects a creature:

Choose one target affected.

That creature gains one benefit until the start of Velindra's next turn:

• +2 AC
• Advantage on one saving throw
• Resistance to one damage type of Velindra's choice
• 10 temporary hit points

Witch's Hex

As a Bonus Action,

mark one creature within 90 feet.

For one minute:

• The creature subtracts 1d4 from its first saving throw each round.
• The first ally that hits the creature each round deals an extra 1d6 radiant or necrotic damage (Velindra's choice).
• Velindra always knows the target's direction while it remains on the same plane.

Uses equal to her Wisdom modifier per Long Rest.

Coven Magic

Whenever Velindra is within 30 feet of another friendly spellcaster,

both gain:

• +1 Spell Save DC
• Advantage on Concentration checks
• +10 feet spell range

If one of those spellcasters is Dorathea or Evelyn, both also gain advantage on initiative rolls and can communicate telepathically out to 120 feet.

Archmage of Living Magic

As one of Ylisse's three Archmages, Velindra's command of natural arcana bolsters all around her.

Friendly creatures within 30 feet gain:

• Advantage on saving throws against poison, disease, curses, and magical corruption.
• Resistance to necrotic damage.
• Advantage on death saving throws.

Ylissian Royal Druid

The Exalt has entrusted Velindra as protector of the sacred groves, leylines, and ancient shrines of Ylisse.

She cannot become magically lost within Ylisse or its protectorates.

She always knows the direction of:

• Sacred groves.
• Ancient standing stones.
• Divine shrines.
• Major ley line nexuses.

Additionally, beasts and fey with Intelligence 6 or lower begin with a Friendly attitude toward her unless magically compelled otherwise.

• She adds her Wisdom modifier to Initiative rolls.
• Allies within 20 feet ignore nonmagical difficult terrain.

Stephanie Warrens' teachings still guide her adopted daughter.

• One ally may immediately move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
• Remove the Frightened or Charmed condition from one creature within 30 feet.

Nature's Ward
