Mephistopheles Tiefling

D&D Beyond Article: Mephistopheles Tiefling

In the frozen realm of Cania, Mephistopheles offers arcane power to those who entreat with him. Tieflings linked to him master some arcane magic.

In addition to, or in lieu of, the abilities listed under Tiefling you have the following abilities:

Ability Score Increase: Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.

This assumes you choose to not use the optional Ability Score Increase rules from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

Legacy of Cania: You know the mage hand cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the burning hands spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the flame blade spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
