Fatal Wish
While bound to Qadir, you can cast the wish spell, without expending a spell slot, to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower. Once you cast the spell in this way, Qadir is expelled and is replaced by a vestige of your choice of 3rd level or lower. You can’t rebind Qadir until you finish a long rest.
Trait: Djinn Aspect
When you bind to Qadir, your skin tints to a bluish hue, and you constantly float a few inches off the ground on a layer of smoke. You ignore the effects of difficult terrain, your speed increases by 10 feet, and you can walk across fluid surfaces, such as water and quicksand.
An ill-fated genie that abandoned the one who summoned him, Qadir offers his binders a lone wish
before abandoning them as well.
Legend
For centuries, an unremarkable lamp sat amongst piles of gold in a forgotten treasure hoard. Then one day, Dra’wer, twin brother of legendary thief K’Sir, happened upon the lamp and rubbed its side. The noble genie Qadir emerged in a swirling cloud of lightning and wind and offered his rescuer three wishes
in exchange for his freedom from the lamp.
First, Dra’wer wished to become an all-powerful sultan. In a flash, it was so. Then, Dra’wer wished for an army of soldiers, a million men strong, to spread bloodshed and conquest wherever he turned his gaze.
In an instant, an army of terracotta soldiers arose at his side. Finally, Dra’wer wished for immortality, so that he could rule the world forever. This wish, however, was too great for Qadir. Even if it were not, the djinn could see that Dra’wer had the makings of a petty despot that would cause untold suffering. So Qadir reverted his wishes and banished Dra’wer to a forsaken desert.
When K’Sir learned of this, he sought out the lamp himself. Again, bound by the magic of the lamp, Qadir offered three wishes to his discoverer, which K’Sir happily accepted: his first wish would be to destroy the genie’s mind, his second to destroy his body, and his final wish to destroy his soul. In a whirlwind of deadly magic, Qadir was obliterated. He lives on only as a vestige, a cautionary tale that you should measure your promises and honor your vows, no matter the cost.
Flaw
While bound to this vestige, you gain the following flaw: “I must honor my promises, no matter what consequences they might bring.”
