Cybernetic Android Traits

With their bodies intricately fused with advanced cybernetic enhancements, the Cybernetic Augments possess a unique set of abilities that blend the strength of technology and the arcane arts.

Arcane Connection

 Arcane Mastery : You have proficiency in the Arcana skill. Your cybernetically enhanced brain processes magical knowledge with remarkable efficiency, granting you a deep understanding of spells, rituals, and arcane phenomena. 

Arcane Sense: You have an innate sensitivity to magical energies. As an action, you can focus your cybernetic augmentations to sense the presence of magic within 60 feet of you. You can detect the general school of magic (abjuration, conjuration, etc.) of any magical source within range. Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that deal damage of the detected school of magic until the end of your next turn. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Arcane Manipulation: Your cybernetic link grants you the ability to manipulate magical energy. As an action, you can attempt to dispel or counter a spell cast by another creature. Make an ability check using your Intelligence modifier and add your proficiency bonus if you're proficient in Arcana. The DC for this check is equal to 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the spell is countered, and its effects are negated. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
