The Firemind

Your patron is the brilliant Niv-Mizzet, draconic Parun of the Izzet League. A powerful spellcaster and amongst the most intelligent beings on Ravnica, a connection to his vast intellect and omniscience resides within you. This extrasensory link is known as the Firemind.

Perhaps you come from a long line of prominent members of the Izzet League and have an ancestral connection with Niv-Mizzet. Or perhaps you were chosen in a seemingly random fashion, told that it is all connected to the grand plan of Niv-Mizzet, one far too complex for mere mortals to ever fully understand. 

Expanded Spell List

The Firemind lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Firemind Expanded Spells

SPELL LEVEL	SPELLS
1st	detect magic, magic missile
2nd	blur, flaming sphere
3rd	fireball, slow
4th	confusion, fabricate
5th	telepathic bond, wall of force

Link to the Firemind

Starting at 1st level, you can tap into the psychic connection of the Firemind. While it does not allow for telepathic communication between you and Niv-Mizzet, it does give insight into his vast intellect and power. Tapping into this well of knowledge allows you to cast the spells granted to you through this connection as though they were second nature. When you cast a warlock cantrip that has the casting time of 1 action you can change casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting. 

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short rest.

In addition, you can learn spells from your connection to the Firemind. Once per short rest, you may pick a cantrip from the wizard spell list. This counts as a warlock spell for you and does not count against the number of cantrips you could normally prepare. 

 

The Firemind's Brilliance

Starting at 6th level, your link to the Firemind has strengthened to such a degree that you can draw on a mere fraction of Niv-Mizzet's willpower and focus and use it as if it were your own. This enables you to concentrate on two different spells at once. If you take damage while concentrating on two spells, you must make a Constitution check for each spell separately. If you loose concentration on one spell, you loose concentration on all spells currently being concentrated on as your connection to the Firemind momentarily breaks.

Master Chemister's Insight

Starting at 10th level, your connection to the Firemind has expanded even further. You possess an innate understanding of magical theory that surpasses that of other mages and spellcasters. Due to extensive study done by Niv-Mizzet over thousands of years, you are capable of blending magic together in unconventional ways. You can change the damage type of any damaging warlock cantrip to the damage type of any other known damaging warlock spell. 

Beaconbolt

Starting at 14th level, you are capable of understanding all of what the Firemind has to offer you. You are capable of channeling the threads of magic that cling to you after performing feats of magic into devastating bursts of energy. As an action, you point at a creature within 120 feet and unleash a burst of electricity. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. The target takes 5d8 lightning damage for every warlock spell slot you currently have expended on a failure, half as much on a success. 

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