Weapon Property - Benefits

MAGICAL SAVANT 

You have mastered many of the subtleties of spellcasting, increasing the power of your magic considerably. You gain the following benefits.

• When you cast a spell with a casting time of a bonus action, you may cast any number of additional spells that turn, as long as you have the required actions to do so.

• Instead of a normal spellcasting focus, you can use a special spellcasting focus to cast your spells. The focus may be a tattoo, a wearable piece of equipment, or of a custom design according to your proclivities. You do not need to carry this focus in your hand to cast a spell, but it must be on your physical person in some manner. 

MASTER OF CEREMONIES 

You can cast in mere moments spells that take others hours to perform. You gain the following benefits.

• When a creature with a challenge rating of 5 or lower succeeds on a saving throw against a spell cast by you, it instead fails.

• You learn the cantrip arcane mark. 

Arcane Mark 

Abjuration cantrip 

Casting Time: 1 bonus action 

Range: Touch or Special (see description) 

Components: V, S 

Duration: Permanent 

You inscribe a magical signature on an object or structure within reach. The inscription can take the form of a single symbol, word, or other design as long as it can occupy up to a 6-inch square on the surface of the structure or object. The mark cannot be removed by nonmagical means and is unique to you. Attempts by creatures other than you to replicate the design of your inscription automatically fail. Once you have inscribed an object or structure with this spell, you cannot target it with this spell again for as long as it remains inscribed. 

You can choose to cast this spell immediately after you cast a spell as an action. If you do so, instead of inscribing a magical signature on an object or structure, you give that spell a personalized flair that identifies it as a spell cast by you. Creatures that observe the spell’s casting or effects and have knowledge of your existence instantly recognize the spell as one cast by you. 

SPELL REFLECTION 

You can counter others’ magic with ease, turning even the mightiest spells back upon their casters. You gain the following benefits.

• When you cast a spell (such as counterspell or reverse magic) to successfully counter a spell, you may choose to immediately cast that spell using your spellcasting ability, spell save DC, and spell attack bonus without consuming any spell slots or resources normally required to cast that spell.

• On each of your turns, you can choose to not take your action that turn. If you do so, you gain the use of an additional reaction until the start of your next turn. This reaction is special and can only be used to cast spells with a casting time of a reaction that would attempt to counter a spell (such as counterspell or reverse magic).

• If you would roll a 9 or lower an ability check to counter or dispel a spell (such as one made when you cast counterspell or dispel magic), you instead roll a 10. 

SPELLSLINGER 

You can sling cantrips with exceptional speed, greatly decreasing their casting time. You gain the following benefits.

• Cantrips you know with a casting time of 1 action may be cast as a bonus action instead.

• If you cast two cantrips on the same turn that target only the same creature, you may use your reaction to cast a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action or bonus action that must target only that creature.

• You learn three cantrips of your choice from any class spell list, which are class spells for you. If your class does not have a spellcasting ability, you choose which ability (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) is your spellcasting ability. 

SUPERIOR INITIATIVE 

You are quick on the draw, able to act before most creatures can even blink. You gain the following benefits.

• If you would attempt a saving throw at the end of each of your turns to end an effect, you may instead attempt that saving throw at the start of each of your turns.

• When you roll initiative and at the beginning of each round of combat, you may choose when you act in the initiative order, regardless of your initiative.

• When initiative is rolled, you can immediately ready an action (no action required). 

VERSATILE MIND 

You are able to focus on multiple tasks simultaneously, diverting your focus precisely and effectively. You gain the following benefits.

• You can maintain concentration on two spells at once. You do not lose concentration on a spell if you cast a second spell that requires concentration, but you lose concentration on a single spell of your choice on which you are concentrating if you cast a third spell that requires concentration.

• When an effect would force you to attempt two identical saving throws at the same time to maintain concentration on two spells on which you are concentrating, you may instead attempt one of those saving throws to maintain concentration on both of your spells.

• You may perform 4 hours of light activity over the course of a long rest instead of 2. 

Crystal Sense (Wisdom)

The buried and shattered crystals of Athas carry more than just power — they resonate with life, memory, and planar touch. With Crystal Sense, you can perceive these energies. When examining a gemstone, psychic crystal, or elemental shard, you may attempt a Wisdom (Crystal Sense) check. A DC 15 check might identify a crystal’s school of magic or psionic potential, while DC 25–30 might reveal stored memories, spiritual echoes, or keys to planar gates. This sense can also be used to detect nearby sources of crystal resonance, such as soul-bound relics or concealed arcane focuses. In areas rich with such energy, the skill may reveal hidden dangers or forgotten treasures.

Defiler’s Insight (Intelligence).

Defilers leave behind invisible wounds in the world—scorched life, withered soil, and lingering magical residue. Those with Defiler’s Insight can detect, interpret, and even influence the defiling energies left in an area. When you spend 10 minutes examining a site where magic was cast, you may attempt an Intelligence (Defiler’s Insight) check. The DC is determined by the DM based on the power and age of the event. On a success, you may learn the type of magic used, the strength of the caster, and even trace the defiler’s path for up to a mile. On a higher success, you might glimpse echoes of the defiler's intent or momentary visions of the casting. In places steeped in defiling energy, such as ancient battlefields or ruined ziggurats, a successful check can also allow you to tap residual energy to enhance your own spells, at the DM’s discretion. 

Elemental Communion (Charisma).

While elemental clerics pray for power, those skilled in Elemental Communion speak directly to the raw essence of the elements. With this skill, you can attempt to communicate with minor elemental spirits—found in flame, stone, dust devils, pools of water, or swirling air. When encountering a manifestation of an element, you may attempt a Charisma (Elemental Communion) check. On a success, you can understand and speak with the spirit within it, asking questions or requesting aid. The more powerful or alien the spirit, the higher the DC. These spirits may offer knowledge of nearby dangers, hidden resources, or even perform minor acts such as dousing a flame, opening a fissure, or shielding you from a sandstorm. On rare successes, you may even invoke their favor in rituals or gain guidance when lost. 

Golemancy (Intelligence)

Through lost rituals and forbidden blueprints, some epic minds learn the rare discipline of Golemancy — the creation, control, and understanding of artificial lifeforms animated by arcane, psionic, or elemental forces. When you attempt to craft, repair, or decipher the workings of a construct, you may attempt an Intelligence (Golemancy) check. The DC depends on the complexity or rarity of the construct. For example, identifying the purpose of a stone guardian might require a DC 15 check, while reprogramming a living obsidian golem may call for a DC 30 or higher. Some epic constructs may only respond to those proficient in this skill. Additionally, a successful check may allow you to temporarily suppress or command a non-hostile construct.

Lucid Dreaming (Wisdom)

In some planar cosmologies, the realm of dreams is a world of its own, visited each night by the ignorant minds of dreamers. Typically, acts committed on this plane have no real consequences for the dreaming. But to some of its most powerful denizens, the realm can be influenced through a skill known as Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming allows one’s acts committed in the realm of dreams to have very real consequences for those visiting its dreamscapes. When you affect a creature in the realm of dreams (such as with an attack or spell) or are affected by an outside force within the realm of dreams, you may take a reaction and attempt a Wisdom (Lucid Dreaming) check. The DC of this check is determined by the DM, but generally the more powerful the effect the higher the DC. On a success, you can make the effect “real,” causing an affected creature’s sleeping body to suffer or benefit from the effect. For example, gaining sustenance from a “dream orange” will have a fairly low DC, but receiving godlike power from a dream-forged deity will have a DC of ludicrous difficulty. Additionally, to influence the malleable landscape of the realm of your dreams or to influence the dreams of others, your DM may call for a Wisdom (Lucid Dreaming) check when you are not sure if you are experiencing a dream.

Memory Extraction (Wisdom).

Some objects, corpses, and ancient stones retain the strongest impressions of memory. With Memory Extraction, you may read these echoes through touch and meditation. When handling an item or touching a creature’s remains, you may take 1 minute and attempt a Wisdom (Memory Extraction) check. The DC is based on the age and emotional intensity of the memory. On a success, you experience fragments of sight, sound, or emotion tied to the object’s past. A weapon might reveal who wielded it last, a bone might whisper its final moments, or a ruined wall might show the event that shattered it. On a particularly high success, you may even draw these memories forth visually to share with others. Misuse or obsession with these memories may carry psychic risks at the DM’s discretion. 

Paleontology (Intelligence)

Ancient beasts once ruled Athas, and their remnants still hold secrets of power. With Paleontology, you can analyze fossils, bones, or remains of extinct life for historical, magical, or alchemical knowledge. When studying such remains, you may make an Intelligence (Paleontology) check. A simple identification of a creature’s type may be DC 10, while uncovering the creature’s habits, origin, or psychic imprint might range from DC 20–30. Success may allow you to replicate long-lost poisons, reconstruct a creature’s shape for summoning, or recognize patterns in current mutated wildlife. With time and effort, fossilized remains might even become components in rare spellcraft or golemancy.

Psionic Sensitivity (Wisdom)

The mindscape of Athas is awash with invisible waves of thought, power, and memory. With Psionic Sensitivity, you gain the ability to detect and interpret these subtle echoes. When attempting to perceive psionic energy in a creature, object, or location, you may attempt a Wisdom (Psionic Sensitivity) check. The DC is based on the subtlety or power of the psionic presence. For example, sensing a hidden mindlink may require a DC 20, while detecting ancient psionic residue left by a forgotten sorcerer-king could require a DC 30 or higher. With higher success, you may also identify the discipline, strength, or even the emotion behind a psionic event.

Sanguinary Sense (Wisdom)

Masters of this grim skill can read the truths hidden within blood — its flow, taste, and scent whisper secrets of health, emotion, and ancestry. When analyzing a fresh wound, breathing in the scent of spilled blood, or touching a bleeding creature, you may make a Wisdom (Sanguinary Sense) check. The DC is determined by how obscure the information is. Detecting fear in a bleeding enemy may require a DC 15, while learning a creature’s recent injuries, diseases, or bloodline could be DC 25 or higher. With success, you may also detect whether a creature is poisoned, undead, or defiled by unnatural magic. Some rare strains of blood may even contain psychic memories.

Soul Binding (Charisma).
The ancients believed oaths, names, and spirits were threads in a vast tapestry. With Soul Binding, you learn to perceive and manipulate these spiritual threads. When interacting with a creature under a magical or psionic compulsion—or bound to a place, object, or pact—you may attempt a Charisma (Soul Binding) check. The DC is based on the strength of the bond. On a success, you may weaken or suppress the bond temporarily, gain insight into its nature, or even sever it entirely if your check far exceeds the DC. This skill can also be used during powerful rituals to bind a willing soul into an object (such as a weapon or phylactery), anchor a ghost to a task, or draw out a spirit for conversation. Misuse of Soul Binding may attract the attention of restless dead, shadow entities, or the Gray itself.

Weather Tuning (Intelligence)

On the dying world of Athas, even the air and sky can be bent to one’s will by those who study Weather Tuning — a discipline combining elemental lore, arcane ritual, and psionic nuance. When you attempt to influence local weather (such as redirecting a sandstorm, invoking a breeze, or calming lightning), you may attempt an Intelligence (Weather Tuning) check. The DC depends on the scale and extremity of the condition. Minor changes like clearing haze might require a DC 15, while breaking a multi-day dust storm or calling unnatural rain in the desert could require DCs of 30 or more. The effect lasts only briefly unless reinforced or ritualized. Failure may have unintended effects.
