You summon the Avatar of Malifax, a familiar that takes on the form of your patron. The avatar acts as a familiar and can be upgraded via Lich Level or Invocations
Avatar of Malifax acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. It can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.
When the avatar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the avatar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the avatar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.
While your avatar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your avatar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the avatar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
Finally, when you cast a spell, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your avatar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.
