The Nexus
When the numerous leylines of magic that run through the universe converge, there is a one in a million chance that the resulting nexus gains a semblance of sentience. An echo of the will of the universe given form, these nexi have a will unfathomable by the mortal mind. Regardless, individuals who find themselves close to one are inevitably marked by them, whether by coincidence or by design, and innately gain the knowledge to draw from their endless energies.
At 1st level, the Nexus lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Additionally at 1st level, you attune your spells to the timeless flow of the leylines’ magic, fueling them for longer. Whenever your concentration on a spell ends, its effects continue to exist until the start of your next turn.
Starting at 6th level, as you channel the magic of the leylines, your body becomes resistant to external magical energies. Every time you cast a spell, you gain resistance to damage dealt by spells and magical effects until the end of your next turn.
At 10th level, your innate understanding of the leylines’ energies allows you to break the constrictions imposed by conventional spellcasting. Whenever you cast a spell that affects an area, you may modify the area’s shape to either a 40-foot cone, a 60 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 foot thick wall, a 20-foot-radius sphere centered at a point within 60 feet of you, or a 100 feet long and 5 feet wide line. Additionally, whenever you cast a spell that requires a melee spell attack, you can increase its range to 30 feet and cast it with a ranged spell attack instead. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
When you reach 14th level, you may directly tap into the immense powers that flow through a leyline. By using an action, you may begin pooling together magical energies to empower your next spell. This feature requires your concentration as if you were concentrating on a spell. The next spell you cast until the end of your next turn is not subjected to damage resistance or immunities and is not hindered by traits such as magical resistance or legendary resistance. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
