Live in the Shadows
Preying off of machinery and life, you're accustomed to the shadows. You have darkvision up to 60ft. You cannot discern colours in darkness, only shades of grey.Thriving Aether
Aether, the raw substance of magic, machinery and life itself, makes up your entire being. Whenever a spell is cast, a creature dies or a machine's aether is dispersed, you gain a charge of Aether. These charges can be used for multiple abilities (check the table for info). You can only hold up to 2 charges of Aether. The limit of charges increases by one at 4th, 7th, 11th and 16th level.

| Level | Aether Expended | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Harness Life: You absorb your charged aether, mending your wounds. As an action, you restore hit points equal to your hit die + your Intelligence modifier. |
| 5 | X | Alter Magic: You recalibrate the aether of incoming magic to strike a different target. As a reaction, you can redirect an incoming single-target spell of X spell slot level targeting you to another target in it's range, recasting the spell towards the new target. Attack rolls you make with the redirected spell have disadvantage and saving throws made by the target have advantage. |
| 11 | 3 | Disperse: As an action, you dissipate your physical form, becoming a cloud of pure aether for 1 minute. You may choose to also dissipate your armor to come with you. In this form, you are resistant to all damage except force damage. You gain a hover speed of 15ft and can move through walls. If you revert back to your physical form while inside a physical object, you take 1d8 force damage and appear in a space 5ft next to the object. |
| 16 | All | Cosmic Flare: You culminate all your stored aether into a flare of pure destruction. As an action, you expend all your stored Aether to create a 30ft radius explosion from your position. All targets in the area either take 1d8 + your Intelligence in necrotic damage or are healed for 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier per charge of Aether. You choose which targets are affected. |
