A Warlock who trods down the path of their Ghost Writer enjoys themselves a good story and will seek other "characters" to entertain their endless desire for an epic adventuring. They see the journeys of such heroes as one would read a grand quest in an intriguing novel. If the Ghost Writer Warlock believes the tale too stale, he may impose literary hardships and obstacles to liven things up. Ironic to her namesake, she is likewise a reader who detests being bored of a potentially good book. | A Warlock who trods down the path of their Ghost Writer enjoys themselves a good story and will seek other "characters" to entertain their endless desire for an epic adventuring.

If you were already proficient, add double your proficiency bonus instead. You also learn 2 languages of your choice. | ||

During a | Additionally, your every scribble and jot bends reality in ways not thought possible with a simple quill. During a long rest, you may craft a 1 ounce bottle of ink into a 1 ounce bottle of eldritch ink that lasts until it is destroyed or consumed. You may have a number of bottles of eldritch ink up to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). | ||
You may write with eldritch ink using a quill on any flat surface in place of somatic or material components unless the materials are consumed or have a specified gold value. If a material component that is consumed or has a specified gold value is less than or equal to the cost of a 1 ounce bottle of ink (''Player's Handbook, pp. 150''; or DM’s discretion), the ink may instead be consumed in place of the material component. Spells with concentration that are cast this way exist for half their duration (minimum 1 round) without needing to maintain concentration. You may only have 1 concentration spell active in this way at a time and cannot maintain or manipulate the spell during its duration if it uses an action or bonus action to do so (i.e. ''flaming sphere'' or ''crown of madness''). If the writing or surface is smudged, destroyed, or moved more than 10 feet from where it was inscribed, the spell cast by this feature ends. | |||

By imbibing a 1 ounce bottle of eldritch ink, tattoos appear across your entire body in incomprehensible words and alphabet. Doing so grants you a bonus to your AC equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). | ||
This feature lasts | This feature lasts for 3 days while the strange substance courses through your veins until it is expended, after which you must imbibe another 1 ounce bottle of eldritch ink to regain this feature. Effects like ''dispel magic'' can remove this benefit. Spells that sense magic like ''detect magic'' observe your entire body covered in a strange and unsettling bastardization of abjuration magic. | ||

Additionally, | Additionally, a single 1 ounce bottle of eldritch ink of your choice or creation becomes indestructible and cannot be destroyed by anything short of a ''wish'' spell. You can only have one such bottle at any time, and its contents are still consumed upon use when applicable (see Mightier than the Sword feature). While you carry the indestructible bottle on your person and its contents have eldritch ink within it, you gain advantage on death saving throws. | ||

The first time you would drop to 0 hit points or you are subjected to an effect that would kill you instantaneously without dealing damage, death ward is cast on you as a reaction. You are not the designated caster, you do not choose when this feature triggers and no verbal components, somatic components, or spell slots are used.

If the creature is immune to the frightened condition, it instead receives disadvantage on attacks made against you until the end of its next turn from the unsettling circumstances of your revival. These effects occur whether or not the affected creature can see or saw the entity. | ||
