Coven of Dwemors

This wizard subclass mainly focuses on the use of dwemors, ritualistic, ancient magic that involves losing one's vitality for an effect (called dwemors). These dwemors manipulate both the mind, body, and shadow. Resulting, in an eldritch, accursed-looking form of magic. 

Looming Shadows

Beginning when you select this subclass at second level, you gain proficiency in Arcana and Stealth. If you are already proficient, your proficiency bonus is doubled for those skills. 

You may also snuff out candlelight with your fingertips.

Dwemors

Shadows are hungry. 

Dealing a set amount damage to yourself on a bonus action, you can choose between one of the following effects, called dwemors. You can only have one of these effects active at a time. Each dwemor lasts for a minute or until you choose to end them. 

As you deepen your study of dwemors, they will become empowered. 

• Dread. Take four damage. After, target one creature within sixty feet of you. They must roll a wisdom save against your spell save DC. If they fail, they are frightened and must get as far away from you as possible. If they succeed, they gain immunity against this effect til the next day. 
• Hunger. Take six damage. After, pick a target within sixty feet. This target is now cursed for the duration. Whenever you hit the target, you deal an extra 1d4 of necrotic damage. 
• As of 6th level, this dwemor is enhanced. Taking an extra six damage on top of the initial damage (IE- 12 damage total) you may now do an extra 2d4 damage upon a hit. 

You may choose to sacrifice an extra 6 HP for an extra 1d4 as many times as your proficiency bonus (IE - at 6th level, you may deal 6X3, or eighteen damage to yourself in exchange for 3d4 extra damage on a hit). 

• Bane. Take six damage. After, choose a target within sixty feet of you. This target is now cursed. If the target makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, it must subtract 1d4 from its roll.
