Spell List:

Monastic Tradition: Way of the Enlightened

At level 3, your mind has opened itself to forces beyond the physical. You gain a pool of Dao points that is designated for replicating the effects of spells. The amount of Dao points you have is listed in the table at the end of this section.

As an action, you can spend Dao points equal to the level of spell that you wish to replicate. For instance, if you wish to cast a 2nd level spell then you must spend 2 Dao points to do so. You may allocate your Dao points any way you see fit and must choose spells to replicate based on the provided spell list at the end of this section. You regain all Dao points at the end of a long rest.

Replicating spells using Dao follows the same rules of spellcasting. You are able to replicate spells of higher levels as you become more enlightened. Use the chart below to determine up to what level of spell you are able to replicate.

Way of the Enlightened: Ki Swell

At level 6, you gain the ability to temporarily channel a swell of Ki. When you use a Ki feature, such as flurry of blows, you may use an additional Ki feature without having to expend any Ki points and as a part of the same bonus action. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Way of the Enlightened: Inner Unity

At level 11, you have begun to connect mind, body, and soul. Your Ki and Dao energy begin to intertwine. Starting at 11th level, you can now use Dao points, in substitute of or in combination with, Ki points to use a Ki feature

Way of the Enlightened: The Enlightened One

At level 17, you have fully connected mind, body, and soul. Your Wisdom score increases by 4 to a max of 24 and you can now use Dao points to imbue your Ki features with magical effects.

Whenever you use a Ki feature you may use Dao points to replicate a spell and add it to the Ki feature as part of the same action. The spell being replicated must have a casting time of 1 action or a bonus action. Creatures have disadvantage on saving throws for spells replicated in this manner.

 

For instance, if you use flurry of blows, you could use 4 Dao points (or more) to add the effects of the Blight spell.

Once you use this feature you can not use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
