Homebrew Awoken Species Details
The Awoken are a race born out of both light, and darkness. They exist in both realms yet also in neither. They are considered guardians of knowledge of cunning. They guard many secrets and search for many more. They largely keep to themselves and look out for their own. They have extensive knowledge of the magic of the world and how they interact with various planes of existence. Their history is questionable and secret, but rich and wonderful, not that they would tell you. Awoken are interesting beings who don't tend to take sides. Thought the magic's surrounding them often replicate the moral or sway of their soul and it adapts as they do.

Darkvision
The Awoken possess Darkvision up to 60 feet. Though they retain dim-color as opposed to the "grey-scale" vision as usual.
Awoken resilience
The Awoken are resistant to both Radiant and Necrotic damage due to their close atonement to both entities.
Awoken Legacy
Beginning at first level, the Awoken know the "Dancing Lights" cantrip which they may cast once per long rest without using a spell slot.
Beginning at fifth level, the Awoken learn the "Darkness" spell and may cast it once per long rest without expending a spell slot. Additionally the Awoken can see normally in this "Darkness" spell as if it was not there.
Charisma is the spellcasting modifier for these spells.
Age
Awoken do not age, they are forever locked at the age they were when they became awoken.
Alignment
Awoken do not understand alignment as the other races do. They tend toward a neutral alignment usually. They are beings of both good and evil as well as lawful and chaotic. However they are not bound by these paradigms as normal humans are.
Size/appearance
Awoken have a standard Medium size. With the added irregularities of strangely colored eyes and skin. As well as a sort of swirling light and darkness that seems to flow beneath the skin, depending on the mood of the Awoken.
Languages
The Awoken can speak, read, and write common, and ancient.

Posted Sep 2, 2021I'm sorry, Cantrips don't use spell slots. Why would you limit a Cantrip to 1 per LR? It makes no sense.
