Accursed Legacy

You are the recipient of a legacy that grants you supernatural abilities, as seen in the table below. You gain the level 1 benefit of this legacy.

When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait.

Accursed Possession

When you reach character level 3, you can transform into a twisted and monstrous form with leathery black skin and claws as a Bonus Action. The transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it (no action required). Once you transform, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Once on each of your turns before the transformation ends, you can deal extra damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your Proficiency Bonus, and the extra damage’s type is Necrotic.

While transformed in this way, you gain the following abilities:

Wings. Two black wings sprout from your back temporarily. Until the transformation ends, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed.

Psionic Protection. You are immune to the Frightened and Charmed conditions.
