Sorcerous Origin- Returned Soul

Returned Soul Sorcerers have at some point experienced the icy grip of death and then been wrenched from it. Either by the powers that be, having found a secret way out of the underworld or by having been revived by their friends.

Reaper's Choice

At 1st level when you choose this Origin you carry the powers to either inflict death or preserve life. You gain the Toll the Dead and Spare the Dying cantrips. 

Deathly Spells

Starting at 1st level, your return from the land of the dead grants you access to magics of similar affiliation. You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Deathly Spells table. The spells count as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Deathly Spells

Soul Speaker

At 6th level you are always considered under the effects of the Speak With Dead spell; gaining the ability to see and speak with the spirit of a corpse so long as it still has its head, its soul is available and is not currently an undead. You can ask the spirit up to three questions after which the spirit fades from your vision. The spirit knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the spirit is under no compulsion to answer you if you were hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy.

Spectral Form

At 14th level you become more spirit than solid. You gain a 40 foot fly(hover) speed, you gain resistance to all physical damage from nonmagical weapons, the ability to see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane and can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. 

Additionally, in the event you are going to be hit by an attack you can use your Reaction to briefly shift into the Ethereal Plane and automatically cause that attack to miss. You can use this feature twice per long rest.

Beckon the Reaper

At 18th level as an Action, while expending 10 Sorcery Points, you call across the veil of life and death to summon the Grim Reaper that was tasked with carrying your soul into the afterlife. The Grim Reaper (stat block provided below) appears beside you in an unoccupied space and you can communicate with it telepathically.

In combat, the Grim Reaper shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move on its own but will only follow you around, unless you take a Bonus Action on your turn to telepathically command it to take one of the actions in its stat block. It will only take an Attack of Opportunity or cast Counterspell against a creature that has already damaged it.

Once summoned, the reaper remains under your control for 2 hours or until reduced to 0hp; after 2 hours has passed control of the reaper slips and the reaper becomes hostile to you but not your allies unless they attack it. You cannot banish the reaper unless you conduct an hour long ritual while expending a spell slot of 4th level or higher to dismiss it. During the course of this ritual the reaper loses it's In Your Last Moments trait. The reaper will attempt to Counterspell this ritual at its completion, on successful Counterspell of the ritual the reaper becomes hostile towards you.
