## The Gate of Souls
*Behold the endless void! Within it lies the heart of the all worlds: The Gate of Souls! Look as hard as you are able, you might see the smallest glimmer of light. From those dark depths all souls are born, even yours.*

---Anzenm, Seeker of Darkness

#### Expanded Spell List

The Gate of Souls lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

| Spell Level | Spells |
|:-:|:-|
| 1st | *guiding bolt, heroism* |
| 2nd | *flame blade, warding bond* |
| 3rd | *beacon of hope, crusader's mantel*
| 4th | *death ward, aura of purity*
| 5th | *telepathic bond, steel wind strike*

#### Soulforged Weapon

Starting at 1st level, the expertise of warriors fallen before you flows through the Gate of Souls in to yours. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. These lingering wills infuse the weapon you hold in your hand. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.

#### Soul Tether

Also at 1st level, you learn to link your soul to others. When you deal damage to a creature you may expend a reaction to apply a Soul Tether to the target. The tether breaks if the target dies or is more than 180ft from you, you die or are incapacitated, or if you create another Soul Tether. While tethered you can feel the creatures emotions and they can feel yours, additionally you gain the following benefits:
* A bonus to damage rolls against the tethered target equal to your proficiency bonus.
* Any attack roll you make against the tethered target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
* When you take the attack action against the tethered target you may make another attack as a bonus action.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

#### Soul Bond

Starting at 6th level, you can tap in to the power of the natural bonds between allies. As a bonus action you may establish a Soul Bond with another willing creature you can see with in 30 feet. While bonded both creatures feel the others emotions and may choose to see through the others senses. Additionally either creature may use their reaction to:
* Add 1d6 to a damage roll of the other creature.
* Roll 1d6 and add that to the result of a saving throw made by the other creature
* The other creature regains 1d6 hit points

The Soul Bond ends once either bonded creature uses any of these functions or after 8 hours.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum 1). All expended uses are restored when you finish a short or long rest.

#### Where Souls Touch

At 10th level, the bonds you can form between souls grow so strong they are almost physical. When you cast a spell with a range of self or touch, you can target a creature within 60 feet if you are bonded to it with either Soul Tether or Soul Bond.

#### Through the Gate of Souls

Starting at 14th level, the connections you make between you are so strong that no distance can truly separate you. Once per long rest you may expend a reaction to teleport next to a creature that you are connected to by either a Soul Tether or a Soul Bond.

Furthermore if you have established a Soul Bond with a creature everyday for at least a month, you can spend 10 minutes concentrating on the bonds between souls and expend a use of your *Mystic Arcanum*(7th-level) to open a portal to their location, even if they are on another plane.
