Homebrew Demi-fiend Species Details

You've awoken, and found yourself the same, yet something was very wrong. You look down upon yourself, and see strange, glowing marks all over you, and something writhing within you, though not in a harmful manner oddly enough, and along with that, there's a large spike at the back of your neck. It seems to grant you demonic power, as if you've been chosen for some task, but are unsure as to what it is.
(WIP, wouldnt mind some input for balancing this)

Demi-fiend Traits

They appear very similar to Humans, but have glowing tattoos all over their body and a large, bulky spike at the back of their neck. They can also change their resistances occasionally and can harness the power of Demons.

Size

As you were originally a Human, you have the same size and build, so your size is Medium.

Walk Speed

Your walk speed is 30ft

Power of the Magatama

Being a Demi-fiend, your power comes from ingesting the demonic Magatamas. Strange worm-like creatures that can be changed for different abilities. Once per Long Rest, you can alter your resistances to one of the following:

Marogareh: AC 10, No Immunities/Resistances. No Vulnerabilities. You get +1 to Attack/Hit when using an unarmed attack or an attack with a melee weapon. At Level 12, your melee weapon and unarmed attacks are treated as Magic damage unless the enemy is immune to Slashing, Bludgeoning and/or Piercing damage.

Shiranui: AC 12. Immune to Fire. No Resistances. Vulnerable to Cold.

Wadatsumi: AC 12. Immune to Cold. No Resistances. Vulnerable to Lightning.

Narukami: AC 12. Immune to Lightning. No Resistances. Vulnerable to Fire.

If you use any Armor while having ingested Shiranui, Wadatsumi or Narukami, the natural AC becomes 11 and Immunities turn into Resistances..

Marks of a Demon.

While in Darkness or Magical Darkness, the tattoos glow on your body, giving you 20ft of dim light. Color changes between two of your choosing. One while above half-health, and one while below half-health.

Power of Possibility

The power you wish for yourself is seemingly up to you, to shape it how you see fit. You gain +2 to your Constitution score. In addition, you may choose one of the following:
+1 to your Strength Score
+1 to your Intelligence Score
+1 to your Charisma Score

Demonic Bestowment

Your connection to the Demonic has granted you to know things you were not previously privy to, as if it was being whispered in your ear. You gain proficiency to Insight and Arcana checks.

Languages

The spike at the back of your neck seems to be connected to your Demonic self, giving you the ability to understand and communicate with both Angels and Demons. You can read, speak, and write Common, Celestial, Abyssal and Infernal.

Suspicious Aura

When being identified though Divine Sense, you will always read as a Demon, exposing your dark nature.

Nature

Being chosen to fulfill some sort of world-changing destiny, they tend to be rather Lawful and faithful to the path they choose and will follow it through to the end, whether it be for good or ill. It can be persuaded, though extremely difficult to do so, and will plot to eliminate anyone or anything that stands against its Reason.
