Draconic Pact

Draconic Pact

Level 7 Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a dragon's tooth carved with arcane runes and a vial of ancient blood)
Duration: 1 hour (concentration)

Description: With a whispered oath and a searing flash of light, you forge a pact with the primal power of dragons. An intricate sigil, glowing with draconic energy, burns into the flesh of your chosen target within range. This pact binds your destiny to theirs, granting both of you a taste of draconic might and fury.

Draconic Bond: While the sigil remains, you and the target have the following bonded abilities:

Draconic Strength: Each of you gains a temporary increase to your maximum hit points of 20.
Draconic Fury: As an action, either of you can unleash a burst of draconic wrath. Choose one damage type: fire, acid, lightning, or cold. Each creature within 10 feet of the bonded creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 8d8 damage of the chosen type and is pushed 10 feet away. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not pushed.
Shared Flight: As an action, you can grant yourself or the bonded creature a flying speed equal to your walking speed for 1 minute.
Draconic Empathy: You can telepathically communicate with the bonded creature as long as you are on the same plane of existence. Additionally, you each have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Draconic Loyalty: The bonded creature gains a fierce loyalty to you. They have disadvantage on attack rolls against you and will not willingly harm you. While under the effect of this spell, if either of you becomes incapacitated, the other can use their reaction to expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to heal the incapacitated creature for 4d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier hit points.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the Draconic Fury breath weapon deals an additional 2d8 damage of the chosen type for each slot level above 7th.

Classes: Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer, Dragon Knight, School of Enchantment Wizard

Lore: Whispered of only in the deepest vaults of dragonkind and guarded by ancient pacts forged between mortals and wyrms, Draconic Pact offers a glimpse into the true power of draconic bonds. It taps into the shared history and respect between dragon and mortal, forging a magical connection that grants both immense power and unwavering loyalty. However, such a pact is not to be taken lightly. The draconic power can be intoxicating, and the loyalty forged can be a double-edged sword, demanding responsibility and potentially binding you to the fate of another. Only the most seasoned and wise dare to forge such a pact, knowing it can rewrite destinies and ignite the spark of legend.
