Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the Goodberry spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level you can cast the Borrowed Knowledge spell with this trait. Once you cast Goodberry or Borrowed Knowledge with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells with spell slots you have of an appropriate level.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait, which you choose when you select this race.
