spellcasting:
Dark Alliance
At 1st level, you form a contract with a voidsent known as a Void Avatar. Drawn to your location due to massive loss of life, you've formed a contract to borrow power from the voidsent and received a momento from it to symbolize your contract. You can review their stats in the statblock below.
In combat, the voidsent acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the voidsent to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the voidsent can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
When the voidsent is killed, its essence returns to your momento. You can use your action to touch your momento and expaned a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The voidsent regains its form after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
When you finish a long rest, you may resummon your voidsent from its momento. If it is still active it regains all its hit points.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on the power of the void to cast spells as with your avatar's help. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Reaper spell list. Preparing and Casting Spells The Reaper table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expand a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of Reaper spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Reaper spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Reaper spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Reaper level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level Reaper, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Reaper spells requires time spent in study and review: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Reaper spells. The power of your spells comes from your bond with your void avatar. You use your Wisdom whenever a Reaper spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Reaper spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a Reaper spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use your momento from the voidsent as a spell casting focus for your Reaper spells.
