An Arcane Tradition

There are few schools as risky or as dangerous as that of demonology. To study demons, devils and their ilk in an attempt to learn their secrets and obtain their service is to play with wildfire. Yet, the rewards can be great.

Impish Companion

When you select this school at 2nd level, you learn to speak, read and write abyssal and infernal. You also add the Find Familiar spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known. When you cast this spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or you may choose an Imp as your familiar instead. Your familiar is always a fiend, regardless of the form you choose.

Pentagram Magic

Additionally at 2nd level, you can create a magical pentagram to protect you or your allies from harm or to imprison your foes. As a bonus action, you may create a magical pentagram around a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. When you do, choose one of the following options:

• Warding pentagram. The creature gains temporary hitpoints equal to your Intelligence modifier, it also adds 1 + half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to its AC and has advantage on Wisdom saving throws as long as it remains within the pentagram.
• Imprisoning pentagram. The creature makes a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC, if it fails its speed becomes 0, it can’t benefit from any bonus to its speed, and it cannot make opportunity attacks as long as it is contained within the pentagram. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. When the creature succeeds, the pentagram disappears. If the creature is a fiend, it has disadvantage on the first saving throw it makes.

Your pentagram lasts for 1 minute and occupies the space occupied by the chosen creature, but does not move with it. A pentagram disappears early if the creature within it leaves its space or if you use this feature again to create another one.

Once you've used this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you may not do so again until you finish a long rest.

Dark Summoner

At 6th level, you learn how to better control the demons and devils you summon. Whenever you would make a deception, insight, intimidation or persuasion check against a fiend, you may add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.

Additionally, whenever you summon a fiend using a Conjuration spell you learn its true name, if it has one, and the fiend gains the following characteristics:

• It gains temporary hitpoints equal to your Wizard level.
• It adds 1d4 to ability checks it makes that aren't contested by you and attack rolls it makes when the target isn't you.
