Invocations specific to IItan

You can only use these Invocations, but because the yokai is a symbiote you can select which one to ready once per long rest by opening your Yokai and rewritting your pact.

Knowledge Retained

Up to 3 times per long rest you can upgrade scrolls to the next level by expending 60 silvers worth of equisite ink per scroll. These scrolls work for anyone in your party. You can consume 20 silver worth of ink and 1 scroll to ready a spell on any object, person, or item. You can only have 2 readied scrolls active at one time, and they must be triggered by a command you set for the holder/object/person. Example if you place a death ward scroll on a barbarian it will only activate if the barbarian says the command you set. These scrolls cannot be replicated, echoed or saved by any methods used. They are destroyed when readied.

Knowledge is Reality

- The LLtan grants you forbidden knowledge of the world. You now have Arcane lock & Knock that does not consume spell slots, or items. However it does consume 20 silver of exquisite ink and leaves a visable mark on the locked/unlocked item or object for 24 hours.
You can make the lock stronger by expending more ink. the DC to break the lock is raised by 1 for every 20 silver worth of ink expended.
As a bonus action you can expend 40 silver worth of equisite ink to write Arcane lock in thin air. This creates a 10ft magical barrier that glows with a faint purple hue. Enemies can walk through the barrier but must past a Constitution save throw of 10 + your spell casting modifier. You can increase the size of this barrier 5ft and DC by 1 for 20 silver per upgrade. (Max Total spell cost 1040 silver of ink for a total of 60ft wide and + DC of 15 + spell casting modifier.) If a enemy fails the saving throw they are thrown backwards 10ft and take 1d12 force damage, if they roll below 10 on their saving throw they are knocked prone.

Knowledge is Power

- As a free action once per turn you can expend 10 silver of Exquisite Ink then use a action to choose a scroll that is on your person. The scroll is cast with a +2 to hit, and is not consumed. The scroll may be reused after 1 turn. This can be used on any scroll that you have as long as its not a unique scroll. Exquisite Ink - This ink would humble even the most profound writers. A truely gifted individual could do much more with it, and truly bend it to their will. Documents written with exquisite ink give a +3 to any roll that is used to write them. Cost: 20 silver per vial
