Homebrew Muthkin (Mothfolk) (Redone) Species Details
Born from a need for soldiers and expendable spellcasters during the darkest age. After over a millennium of wars, depressions, and ultraterrestrial threats, Müthkins find themselves in a world scarred by the Great Wars and torn apart by the Convergence Calamity, abandoned by their creators.
History
A few weeks after the fifth Great War, the sixth Great War ensued, primarily due to political tensions and the Old King of Heerot's unpopularity, marking the beginning of the final 561 years of the darkest age. Due to the magic purge that started the fourth Great War, which happened because of events that occurred in the second Great War, there weren't enough spellcasters to risk losing on the front lines. This problem, combined with rampant corruption and moralless experimentation, created a series of horrific experiments. Some sought to improve inorganic creatures, such as warforges and non-magical or low-magic constructs, while others attempted to forcibly induce sorcery into "expendable" commoners through magic rituals, not at all moral "breeding" of biological arcane creatures and humanoids, and or just chemical cocktails. These experiments created hundreds of horrific and or unfortunate creatures, most of the time to see what would happen. Eventually, researchers found that alchemy produced favorable and repeatable results, marking the beginning of the golden age of alchemy, as laws governing what could and could not be done were either relaxed or ignored due to the attention drawn to more pressing issues. While this age of alchemy created horrific monsters, equipment that kills or mutilates creatures horrifically, potions that do horrific things, and many more things that made the gods recoil. It also created various sapient species or races, such as the iron minotaur-like, goronoids, and the shark-like, Selachioid, both of which were created as shock troops, and the moth-like Müthkins. The concept of a Müthkin came after experiments with Feywild moths showed more successful results for natural spellcasting, but lacked repeatable spellcasting and a humanoid shape, so equipment wouldn't have to be specially made. The humanoid problem was solved through alchemic genetic modification; how did they get the genetic material... The spell-casting problem was solved by the creation of the Müthkin's Crystalline Heart. The Crystalline Heart is a dorsal vessel with shards of crystalline weave within it, allowing the Müthkins to naturally use magic and bypass the components of certain spell types. This led to Müthkins being produced at a rapid rate, allowing the species to produce a healthy population on its own, creating a surplus of spellcasters that could be sent to the front line without major risk of losing important personnel, and the Müthkin's Crystalline Heart allows for the creation of subspecies specialized in certain spell schools to perform certain roles without having to train as long. After the darkest age came to an end, and the sixth Great War, the Mad Titan War, the Convergence Calamity, and multiple revolutions finally came to a close, many species created specifically for a warfare niche, like the Müthkins, found themselves abandoned and often discriminated against by the societies that created them and scarred by warfare that claimed the lives of those they knew.
Appearance and Culture
Müthkins resemble humanoid moths, standing slightly taller than the average human, with long, feathery antennae measuring a few feet in length. All Müthkins have two sets of wings; their forewings are the large pair, having an average wingspan of 8-12ft, while the smaller hindwings have a wingspan of 4-7ft. The colors of the wings vary between subspecies and individuals, primarily because they change the color patterns of their wings at will; they are usually representative of their skills, abilities, and or just things they are proud of. The eyes of Müthkins are still moth-like but can glow and change colors at will. While Müthkins have a humanoid form, their bodies are still separated into three broad segments, although the thorax has morphed to be more like a humanoid torso, and the abdomen, which is behind them, has shrunk in size, relatively to the abdomen of a normal moth. Many of the abdomen's organs, primarily most of the respiratory and digestive organs, have also moved to the thorax. Müthkins can also grow fur-like scales around their neck, the joints on their limbs, and or abdomens. Some Müthkins may also be nearly completely covered in dense fur-like scales, giving a fluff appearance. Their bodies and scale fur also vary in color, ranging from bright colors, dark colors, tans, and achromatic colors (blacks, whites, and greys). Müthkins are also omnivores, but prefer to supplement their diet with materials that aid in their ability to cast magic, such as fatty foods for Blazing Evocawing Müthkins, copper shaving for Volt Evocawing Müthkins, and bone marrow for Necrowing Müthkins. While Müthkins do have a proboscis, they all have a mouth that tends to go unnoticed due to blending in while closed or talking, but can open and unfold similar to that of the Yautja from the Predator movies. However, this is done for intimidation purposes and appears like a typical human mouth when open, but not unfolded.
Most Müthkins live either on their own or in groups of Müthkins or with other creatures that accept them. Müthkins can live in most environments, although they are often rejected and pushed out by people, like the High Elves, who look down upon "unnatural" or "impure" creatures. However, Fairies, Insectoids, and Wood Elves tend to like them, along with other "artificial" creations like the Warforges, Selachioid, and Goroniods. Despite appearances, Owlins and Batfolk also don't mind the Müthkins, often taking them under their wings. Orcs also like the Müthkins because of a shared dislike for High Elves. The largest population of Müthkins on the Material Plane exists within the Infested City, Cacumen Ascensionis, in the cursed lands of Raven's Mourn.
Müthkins have no instinct for self-preservation and will simply self-destruct the Weave Crystals in their Crystalline Heart to cause an arcane explosion, often killing both them and whoever either injured them to a point of no return or just annoyed them that badly. Müthkins usually adopt the cultures of those around them. Specifics of Müthkin subcultures are also formed by the magic they wield.
Müthkin Abjurawing
Abjurawing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Abjuration due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Abjurawing Müthkins rarely saw active combat; instead, they were typically tasked with safeguarding important personnel and equipment by any means necessary. To perform these tasks, Abjurawing Müthkins have been specially modified to resist others' magic. Even after the war, Abjurawing Müthkins tend to take on defensive assignments, often acting as watchmen and or guards for adventuring parties and towns.
Müthkin Conjurawing
Conjurawing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Conjuration due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Conjurawing Müthkins were designed to perform various tasks, primarily conjuring ammo during battle, setting up traps, relaying and delivering messages, and informing personnel of enemy locations. To perform these tasks, Conjurawing Müthkins have been specially modified to have exceptional speed and sight. After the war, most Conjurawing Müthkins remain, erratic people pleasers.
Müthkin Divinawing
Divinawing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Divination due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Divinawing Müthkins were designed to perform a specific task: finding and eliminating threats to the government they work for, particularly spies and traitors, both domestic and foreign. To perform these tasks, Divinawing Müthkins have been specially modified to pick up on things that others would ignore, giving them insight into the future. After the war, most Divinawing Müthkins took on roles such as detectives and private investigators. Divinawing Müthkins are often feared as they are incorruptible in their mission and will eliminate those who hired them should they find that they are the target of their investigation.
Müthkin Enchantwing
Enchantwing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Enchantment due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Enchantwing Müthkins were designed to perform specific tasks: negotiating with foreign rulers and calming down public affairs. To perform these tasks, Enchantwing Müthkins have been specially modified to be charming and know exactly what they need to say to get the reaction they want. After the war, most Enchantwing Müthkins took on roles that typically dealt with the public or those of high standing, such as merchants or con men.
Müthkin Evocawings
Evocawing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Evocation due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Evocawing Müthkins were designed to perform one task: destruction. To perform this task, Enchantwing Müthkins have been specially modified to withstand the destruction they create. After the war, most Evocawing Müthkins, that surivied, took on roles that typically dealt with destruction.
Müthkin Illuswing
Illuswing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Illusion due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Illuswing Müthkins were designed to perform various tasks: mostly trick and convince enemies, allies, and the general public into believing that their side is doing better than it is. To perform this task, Illuswing Müthkins have been specially modified to produce realistic illusions and mimicry. After the war, most Illuswing Müthkins took on roles that typically involved deceiving the public, such as lawyers, politicians, or acting.
Müthkin Necrowing
Necrowing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Necromancy due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Necrowing Müthkins were designed to perform various tasks: primarily performing medical operations in mid-combat and disposing of corpses. To perform this task, Illuswing Müthkins have been specially modified to use their power over life and death to quickly mend others' wounds. After the war, most Necrowing Müthkins took on roles that involved medical operations or taking care of the dead. Despite their relation to necromancy, Necrowing Müthkins view raising the dead for power as a sign of weakness, with Liches being such pathetic leaders that they can't even lead a group of toddlers to their beds.
Müthkin Transmutawing
Transmutawing Müthkins have a biological affinity for Transmutation due to the shards in their Crystalline Heart. Transmutawing Müthkins were the first Müthkins and designed to perform various tasks: assisting in the creation of new Müthkins Wing variants and other alchemical creations. To perform this task, Transmutawing Müthkins have been specially modified to have a minor Philosopher's Stone within their chest. After the war, most Transmutawing Müthkins kept performing alchemy.

During their larva and pupa stages, they are about as smart as the average human adult and can cast spells, albeit not too well; they can only communicate in Slyan in their larva stage and through light patterns in their pupa stage, but can understand other languages. While cocooned, Müthkins spend their years practicing their spells and training with their Arcane weapon of choice in a mental simulation. After emerging from their chrysalis, Müthkins are now considered mature adults and are not known to die of old age.

Arcane Weapon
As a Magic action or as a part of the attack action, you can summon your Arcane Weapon. You can summon up to 4 of these weapons (two if two-handed), but their effects do not stack, nor can you attack additional time, without an ability or property that would allow you. Other creatures cannot use these weapons, and the demanifest after being dropped or thrown after a hit or miss, you can also demanifest the weapons as a no-action. The weapon cannot be removed from you against your will. The weapon's type determines the damage dice(s), properties, and mastery property. You are proficient with the weapon, and it can be used as a spell focus.
The weapon uses your Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma Modifier for attacks, your choice. These weapons are considered magical, but are unaffected by Dispel Magic, Anti-Magic Zones, and/or similar effects. The appearance of the weapon is up to you.
The weapon's damage is force or your secondary resistance, given by your Unnatural Specialization. You can spend 8 hours meditating during a long rest to practice with a different Arcane Weapon.
