Homebrew Air Tenasi Race Details

Air Tenasi are the offspring of a Tiefling and Air Genasi. They therefore have some traits and abilities derived from both races. Thanks to your partial infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. As an Air Tenasi, you are also descended from the djinn. As changeable as the weather, your moods shift from calm to wild and violent with little warning, but these storms rarely last long. Air Tenasi carry the power of the elemental planes of air in their blood. Independent and self-reliant, Air Tenasi tend toward a neutral alignment. Air Tenasi typically have small horns, light blue skin, hair, and eyes. 

You know the thaumaturgy cantrip, have resistance to fire damage, and can hold your breath indefinitely while you’re not incapacitated.. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast levitate and hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
