Homebrew Dark Kitsune Species Details
A kitsune is a shapeshifter, and usually when it reaches the age of 100 years, it learn the ability to take on a human form. Thus, they have to be a fox for a hundred years before it can shapeshift from a fox to a human and back again. It is also said that a kitsune can duplicate other human beings, in other words shapeshift into the look-a-likes of different people.

Hoshi No Tama
An orb ornament every kitsune has, it can be used as an arcane focus. The orb absorbs magical energy from the kitsune that owns it as part of their soul lives within. Once per long rest, the kitsune can draw on the orb to cast a spell that would otherwise require a spell slot without expending a spell slot. Any spell cast this way also does not require a vocal or somatic component. The maximum level spell that this can cast is 5th level
Should the orb be more than 30 ft away form the kitsune, they will gain 1 levels of exhaustion every day they are more than 30ft away from it. Re-entering its radius resets its exhaustion back to what it would be without this feature
