You have Advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and when you spend an Action or Bonus Action to inflict a Charm effect on a creature, you can impose Disadvantage on that creature's saving throw against the charm effect as part of that Action or Bonus Action..

You have resistance to Necrotic damage. You instinctively know if a creature you can see is undead. Additionally, you have Advantage on the first Saving Throw you roll after completing a Long Rest. You regain this Advantage at the end of a Long Rest.   Spellbound: Depending on your Arcane Imprint, you inherently know how to cast a set of specific spells. When you choose an Arcane Imprint, you gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen imprint in the table below. When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.     Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spell-casting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the imprint).

The birth of an Arcaneborn is a result of The Arcane Cataclsym.     Just like some evocation-born present with glowing lines pulsing with evocation magic, other arcaneborn can bear these glowing lines. Because arcaneborn are born from exposure to The Arcane Cataclysm, though, these lines manifest instead as the spell formulas of the spell that made them arcaneborn in the first place. Their skin glows with the text of the spell in question or the magic circles and runes that were used during the casting process. The Arcaneborn are targeted by many powerful figures because they are now the bearers of ancient knowledge from before The Arcane Cataclysm.     Arcaneborn are also affected by the components used to cast the spells. Somatic components can manifest in the arms, hands, and even feet of the arcaneborn, giving them an eerie arcane glow or changing them even more dramatically; verbal components grant the plane-touched an unearthly, magical voice; and material components might even manifest as arcane echoes around the arcaneborn. An arcaneborn born of a spell that used flowers in its casting might manifest those same flowers around themselves as a reflection of the spell that made them an arcaneborn.     The different arcaneborn that are born from the casting of this spell are aligned to the school of magic of the spell that was cast.
