***Age.*** Wildsoul tieflings mature and age at about the same rate as humans.

***Darkvision.*** You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Fiendish Fortitude.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Wild Arcana.*** Each time you finish a long rest, you gain the ability to cast cantrips and spells randomly determined from a short list. At 1st level, you can cast a cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can also cast a 1st-level spell. At 5th level, you can cast a 2nd-level spell.
Once you cast a spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest, unless the spell is a cantrip. You can also cast these spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. When you cast spells using this trait, they don't require material components.

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

At the end of each long rest, you lose the cantrips and spells previously granted by this feature, even if you did not cast them. You replace those cantrips and spells by rolling for new ones on the Abyssal Arcana Spells table. Roll separately for each cantrip and spell.
