Feats
Eldritch Adept
Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature
Studying occult lore, you have unlocked eldritch power within yourself: you learn one Eldritch Invocation option of your choice from the warlock class. If the invocation has a prerequisite, you can choose that invocation only if you’re a warlock and only if you meet the prerequisite. Whenever you gain a level, you can replace the invocation with another one from the warlock class.
Elemental Adept
The ability to cast at least one spell
- When you gain this feat, choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.
- Spells you cast ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type. In addition, when you roll damage for a spell you cast that deals damage of that type, you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.
- You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different damage type.
Spell Sniper
The ability to cast at least one spell
You have learned techniques to enhance your attacks with certain kinds of spells, gaining the following benefits:
- When you cast a spell that requires you to make an attack roll, the spell's range is doubled.
- Your ranged spell attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
- You learn one cantrip that requires an attack roll. Choose the cantrip from the bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list. Your spellcasting ability for this cantrip depends on the spell list you chose from: Charisma for bard, sorcerer, and warlock; Wisdom for cleric or druid; or Intelligence for wizard.
War Caster
The ability to cast at least one spell
You have practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques that grant you the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage.
- You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
- When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.
Hyper-Crimson Mode
Weave-Linked Sorceror
Through your relentless pursuits, you have discovered a defined trigger that activates a heightened state of power unique to yourself. Whenever you are exposed to this stimulus, you are capable of channeling power linked to the weave that goes beyond the capabilities of your skill, experience, and body for a brief moment in time. You have been able to figure out a method to harness this temporary boon to reshape and reweave your magic into a more powerful form. Increase your Charisma score by 1. Discuss and select a 'defined trigger' for your Hyper-Crimson Mode with your DM. When you cast a spell while being exposed to the 'defined trigger', you may modify it such that it functions as if it was cast using a spell slot 2 levels higher than was actually utilized. A spell cast in this manner will have additional random cosmetic effects resulting from the manipulation performed by the user. After casting a spell using this feature, the character makes a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC equal to 15 plus the Modified Spell Level. On a failed save you cannot move, take actions, or use your reaction for 2 turns, or 1 turns on a successful one, as a wave of exhaustion washes over you. Once this feature is used, the character must perform a short-rest before it can be used again.

DESCRIPTION
This ring is one of a pair which share a distinctive Rose and Thorn motif, set with a large ruby as the centerpiece gemstone.
This ring is an artifact, a testament to the enduring love and vows of marriage shared between two intrepid adventures who traveled through time and space fighting the very forces of the God's and Fate itself to recreate a world and build a life together. They became the centerpiece of multiple Prophecy-tier events, and the Creator of these rings felt it only necessary to produce something of equivalent significance.
As a result, the ring can only be destroyed when the wearers of both rings betray one-another, killing each other within the same moment. The rings must then be shattered by the Hammer of War wielded by Ao, the All-Father of Gods, and the shattered fragments cast into the Well of Souls in the Forgotten Realms of Toril.
