Blade Wrap

At 3rd level you can use magical wraps to enhance your gear. You learn to create two script wraps of your choice, from among the scripts described below, and each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one script you know with a different one from this feature. When you reach certain levels in this class, you learn additional runes, as shown in the Scripts Known table.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can make a number of wraps equal to your PRO + INT/WIS, and you inscribe what type of script you write in each wrap. During a short rest you can make a calligrapher's supplies or painter's supplies check to create half or less wraps of your maximum amount wraps with a DC15 for each additional wrap you cant go over the maximum amount.

You can take and action to apply a wrap to your weapon that will last an amount of attacks equal to you proficiency bonus.

Your scripts are written in arcane runes (Wizard). Druidic, Sylvan or Primordial (Druid). Celestial or language of the gods race (Cleric).
