Base Class: Warlock
This pact involves you between two draconic apostles of voracious fangs and scaly claws. Your pact is one of conflicting alignments teetering back and forth between once's own desires/emotions and those of your patron's. You often have vague dreams of a hellish landscape full of dark colors fighting against a radiance of metallic colors, in addition to various conflicting whispers only you can hear. Your patrons grant you power not for your benefit but to disrupt each other's influence and control on you as a whim to satisfy their own individual goals.
Being contracted to these draconic patrons may affect how others visually view your alignment as such power can cause slight changes in your behavior and beliefs. You might find yourself driven to annihilate your enemy, to protect the innocent, to hoard your gold, or become un-trusting of others. These emotions/temptations are not overpowering enough to permanently change or dictate your actions and are more of a slight nudge or whisper over your shoulder. Beings of this sort include but not limited to apostles of Garyx, Hlal, Lendys, Tamara, Null, Kereska, Sardior, Astilabor, Task, Bahamut, Tiamat, Zorquan, and many draconic beings that have gone quiet over a millennium.

Draconic Conflict (Active Patron)
Upon taking this pact when you would successfully complete a long rest, during the last 10 minutes your mind enters a misty grey realm filled with whispers of temptations from a dark red and black shadowed figure from one side and offers of righteous grandeur from a radiant gold and silver figure in lofty clouds on the other.

Patron Swap & Utility Spell
Starting at 6th level, the whispers of temptations and bickering intensifies between the feuding dragons providing you with a chance opportunity to swap your active patron without needing to complete a long rest.
Using a bonus action, you can make a (DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus) Charisma check to immediately switch to your other patron. On a failure your active patrons swaps but you gain 1 level of exhaustion as you hear curses and belittlement from the previous patron. This causes your active patron to be locked unable to change for the next 48 hours (This includes any long rest during this time). You can use this feature once per long rest.
In addition, you are granted a utility spell you can cast once per long rest without consuming a spell slot/pact slot. When you complete a long rest, you can swap it out for another in the list.

When casting a spell that deals damage you may change all of the spell's damage that is not bludgeoning, piercing or slashing to either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage instead of its normal type for the spell's duration. You can use this feature twice per long rest (3x at level 15, 4x at level 20).
In addition, your patron's influence on you has caused a draconic feature to manifest within you.
Draconic Wings
