Ferrai

Just over a hundred and sixty years old, Ferrai is a dark Elven prodigy of the Levantine Dynasty who displays an unprecedented talent for the manipulation of graviturgy magic. Ferrai is the dynasty's Xeno-handler and is respected for his cunning intelligence by Levantine officials and soldiers, however he usually masks this by presenting an aloof and kind attitude. Ferrai is more interested in arcane practices, such as the anomalies of the Xer'Sai and the study of chronurgy mafic, then he is in worshipping The Raven Queen. With a lifetime to go Ferrai is determined to discover each and every facet of the arcane for the advancement of dynasty citizens, whether or not that would lead to his life being put in danger.

Appearance

Ferrai is a drow (dark elf) who often carries himself in an aloof or carefree posture. He has very short white hair styled into an undercut with one braid that hangs off of the side and his eyes are a vibrant purple. He wears an elaborate mantle and deep purple and black robes that almost entirely obscure his body. Under the mantle, he wears comfortable, sleek, well-trimmed Levantine-styled clothing. Ferrai moves in a unique way, described as gliding or drifting. His cloak falls to the floor, obscuring his feet. Other times, he actively floats in the air or hovers over the ground in a relaxed motion.

Bonds

My life’s work is a series of tomes related to a specific field of lore. I’ve been searching my whole life for the answer to a certain question.

Flaws

Unlocking an ancient mystery is worth the price of a civilization. Once I pick a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of everything else in my life.

Corestudied Metamagic. When casting a spell, once per turn Ferrai can activate one of the following metamagic options by spending an extra spell slot of at least half of the spell cast's level.
Careful Spell. If the spell cast forces other creatures to make a saving throw, the drow can select a number of creatures (up to 2) that Ferrai chooses automatically succeed on their saving throw against the spell.
Extended Spell. If the spell cast has a duration of 1 minute or longer, the duration of the spell cast is doubled.
Quickened Spell. If the spell cast has a casting time of 1 action, the casting time is instead changed to 1 bonus action.
Fey Ancestry. The drow has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put Ferrai to sleep.
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, Ferrai has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Actions

Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.
Event Horizon (Recharges once per Long rest or upon expending a 3rd level spell slot or higher). Ferrai magically emits a powerful field of gravitational energy that tugs at hostile creatures within 30 feet of him for up to 1 minute or until his concentration ends (as if he was concentrating on a spell). A hostile creature who starts its turn within the area must make a Strength saving throw (DC: 17). On a failed save, it takes 11 (2d10) force damage, and its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage, and every foot it moves this turn costs 2 extra feet of movement.
