Bound Weapon
Your spirit links you to a weapon. Starting at 1st level, when you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon of your choice, you can attack with intelligence with that weapon.
Spellcasting
Your Spirit has granted you access to powerful spells and key memorization for them.
Cantrips
Starting at 1st level you can pick 3 cantrips from the Ancient Soul of Intelligence spell list. You gain more as seen from the cantrip number on the cantrip table.
Spells Known
Starting at 1st level, you know 3 spells from the Ancient Soul of Intelligence spell list. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you gain 1 more spell from this spell list. You can also learn spells from being taught them from any caster, similar to a wizard copying spells into a spellbook. You have any spells you know prepared.
Casting Spells
You can cast spells of levels known a number of times equal to spell slots for the designated level. Spells for a specific spell slot can be cast at a higher spell slot, but not a lower one. Intelligence is your spellcasting modifier for these spells
- Spell Attack Modifier
Your spell attack bonus equals your proficiency bonus+your intelligence modifier
- Spell Save DC
Your spell save DC equals 8+your proficiency bonus+your intelligence modifier
Arcane Blade
Your spirit allows you to put slight arcane power into your weapon. Starting at 2nd level you do an extra 1d6 Force Damage from your bound weapon. This upgrades to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Increasing Soul Presence
The soul within you starts to present itself more. Starting at 5th level you can expend a spell slot (up to 5th level) when you do this, you create a number of clones equal to the level of spell slot you expend. You can only have one expended spell slot for this feature at a time. The clone cannot cast spells or use your arcane blade feature. Finally the clone has hit points equal to 1/8 of your maximum hit points.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level you can attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action on your turn.
Warping Movement
Your spirit gives you intense magical power. Starting at 6th level you can teleport your movement instead of walking it. This cannot be combined with dash or other movement boosting abilities.
Quick Teleportation
Your spells have been strengthened. Starting at 10th level, any teleportation spell you cast (misty step, thunderstep, etc. are included) can be used as a bonus action.
Soul Capacity 50%
Starting at 11th level your Increasing soul presence allows you to use up to 2 slots instead of 1 for clones. These can also use your arcane blade feature, and they have 1/4 of your maximum hit points. As well you can expend a 2nd level or higher spell slot you can surround yourself in an aura. This aura lasts for 10 minutes and gives an extra 1d8 force damage, and you have advantage on arcana and investigation. Starting at 15th level the damage and advantages can be granted to all allies within 30ft of you for the same duration, as a soul aura.
Mental Speed
Starting at 14th level your initiative is based off of your intelligence modifier instead of dexterity.
True Intelligence Soul
Your soul of Intelligence and you have fully linked together. Starting at 17th level while in your capacity 50% form, you can use an action to enter your true form. While in this form you can set up to three spell slots worth of clones instead of two, they can cast spells up to 5th level, and they get 1/2 your maximum HP. You also gain 2d8 extra damage instead of 1d8. Finally you gain the psychoblade.
- Psychoblade
Longsword, Magical, 1d6 slashing+ 1d6 psychic
Signature Spell
Starting at 18th level, you can pick one first and one second level, you can now cast those without expending a spell slot. You can choose to change these later on by spending eight hours to change one or both spells.
Deific Form
Starting at 20th level you can push beyond your limits. As an action you can enter your deific form. While in this form you are a Medium Celestial for purposes of damage and grappling. You temporarily have an intelligence score of 30 in this form. Your unarmed strikes in this form all do 2d6(Slashing)+4d6(Psychic)+6d6(Force)damage. you have 2 attacks total with the same abilities. You can also cast spells as an action. When you cast spells in this way, the spell acts as if it was cast a slot higher. This lasts for 1 minute, and when it's over you exit the form and take three levels of exhastion, as well as 5d10 necrotic damage for pushing past your limits.
