Abyssal Evolution
When you reach 3rd level, choose one of the evolution options below. Thereafter, you can use a bonus action to unleash the demonic energy within yourself, gaining the benefits of that evolution. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. This may increase the hold your abyssal influence has over you, physically or mentally. Once you transform using your evolution below, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Killer Instinct: You focus down your prey, strengthened by your demonic bonds. During your evolution, you can dash as a bonus action when moving towards any creature that doesn't have all its hit points. Once per evolution, as an action, you can force every creature within 10 feet of you to succeed a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
Second Skin: You channel your demonic influence, manifesting an armor-like exoskeleton for the duration of your evolution. You gain immunity to necrotic and resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, fire, and cold, but are vulnerable to radiant until your evolution ends.
Void Surge: You summon a bit of the abyss to aid you. For the duration of your evolution, you can cast Darkness on yourself without expending a spell slot or components, which ends when your evolution does. When cast this way, you can see through the darkness created by this spell.
