Granted Spells
All Edicts possess an innate familiarity with magic, a result of the powerful forces woven into their creation. Their connection to these energies allows them to naturally understand and wield certain forms of magic. Thus, Edicts are granted access to the following spells:
Arcane Influx
An Edict possesses the ability to call upon the immense magic imbued within it by its creator, temporarily unleashing power far beyond its natural capabilities. Through this connection, an Edict may access a 9th-level spell of its choice, allowing it to bend reality through the very essence of its ideal. However, such extraordinary power comes at a significant cost, as channeling this magic places an immense strain on both the body and soul of the Edict. When you cast the 9th-level spell of your choice using this trait, you must gain 3 levels of corruption and 2 levels of exhaustion.
Control
An Edict possesses mastery over the ideal it embodies, allowing it to harness and manipulate its essence to its advantage. The ways in which an Edict can exert control over its ideal may vary depending on the nature of that ideal. Work with your DM to determine exactly what this means for your Edict and how its ideal can be used to influence the world around it.
