You appreciate the little things in life, literally. You know that insects and bugs contribute heavily to the flow of nature, and have immense power relative to their size. Whether you physically embody these powers, control a swarm of insects that you influence, or simply imitate them magically, you take those powers and bolster yourself in ways others could only imagine.

When you cast the Infestation cantrip you can modify it to be a ranged spell attack instead of a Constitution save, deal d8 damage instead of a d6, you can choose the direction they move.

When you take this action you can choose any number of creatures to be unaffected.
