You utter a word of immense destruction that resonates through the target's very being. The target must have 100 hit points or fewer.

## Possession System:

In the dark realm of magic and malevolence, a sinister force grants certain creatures the ability to possess the bodies of others. Possession is a terrifying ability that allows a creature to infiltrate and control the very essence of its victim. Here's how the possession system works:

When a creature possesses another, it's as if a shadowy veil descends upon the victim. The possessing creature's essence merges with the host, warping their thoughts, actions, and even their physical form to a degree. The host becomes an unwilling puppet, manipulated by the dark will of the possessor.

### Initiating Possession: 
To initiate possession, the possessing creature must first make a melee spell attack against the target's AC. The possessing creature must be within 5 feet of the target.

### Resistance: 
The target can make a Charisma saving throw against a DC determined by the possessing creature's abilities. On a successful save, the possession fails, and the target is immune to further possession attempts by the same creature for 24 hours.

### Successful Possession: 
If the possession is successful, the possessing creature enters the target's body. The target's consciousness is suppressed while the possessor takes control. The target's physical form might take on subtle or drastic changes to reflect the possessor's influence.

### Control and Abilities: 
The possessor gains control over the target's body and its basic abilities. The possessor retains its mental attributes, such as Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, but uses the host's physical attributes for calculations.

\columnbreak

### Actions: 
The possessor can use the host's actions, attacks, and abilities as well as its own. If the host has class levels, the possessor can access class features but not spellcasting, unless the possessor is a spellcaster.

### Duration: 
The possession lasts until the possessor willingly leaves, is forcibly expelled, or the host's body is reduced to 0 hit points. If the host's body is reduced to 0 hit points, the possessor must make a Charisma saving throw against a DC to maintain control. On a failure, the possessor is expelled and takes 2d6 psychic damage.

### Expulsion: 
A spell like "Dispel Evil and Good" can expel the possessor, forcing it to return to its own form if it has one. Similarly, an exorcism ritual may also have the same effect.

### Long-Term Effects: 
Even after the possession ends, the victim might suffer lingering psychological trauma or physical changes caused by the possession. These effects are at the Dungeon Master's discretion.

## Arcane Resonance:
Characters who possess a strong affinity for magic can use Arcane Resonance to alter or enhance their spells. This system allows spellcasters to invest additional energy into their spells, resulting in improved effects or higher spell levels.

### Spell Alteration: 
When casting a spell, a character can choose to engage Arcane Resonance. This requires the expenditure of a bonus action in addition to the spell's normal casting time.

### Upcasting: 
While using Arcane Resonance, the character can choose to upcast the spell by expending a higher-level spell slot than required. For each level above the spell's base level, the spell gains an additional effect, damage, duration, or range, as determined by the DM. The character must have an available spell slot of the higher level to do this.

### Effects and Enhancements: 
The specific effects of upcasting using Arcane Resonance depend on the character's class, subclass, and the spells they are casting. Examples include increased damage, longer durations, larger areas of effect, or additional targets.

### Resource Management: 
Arcane Resonance consumes a portion of the character's magical energy. The character can use this ability a number of times equal to their proficiency bonus per long rest.

### Ritualistic Concentration: 
Arcane Resonance requires intense concentration and attunement to the magic around the caster. If the caster is disrupted, silenced, or otherwise incapacitated while using Arcane Resonance, the attempt is unsuccessful, and the spell is lost.

### Learning and Mastery: 
As characters gain experience and understanding of the weave, they may discover new ways to manipulate spells through Arcane Resonance. These enhancements should be thematic and balanced to avoid overpowering characters.

## Arcane Change:

As a master of magical manipulation, you've learned to channel your spells to their fullest potential. With a focused mind and steady hand, you charge your spells, unleashing them with greater power.

When you activate the Arcane Charge, you begin by meticulously weaving the intricate threads of your chosen spell, drawing upon your magical reservoir. As you chant the incantations and mold the energies, you can feel the spell's power resonating within you, ready to be unleashed. Your focus is absolute, your connection to the weave unyielding.

### Charge 
On your turn, you can use your action to cast a spell, expending a spell slot and any required material components. However, instead of releasing the spell immediately, you channel it and hold its magical energy, focusing your concentration on maintaining it. You are considered to be concentrating on this spell, just as if you had taken the Ready action to cast it.

### Release
On your next turn, you must use your action to release the charged spell. When you release the spell, it is cast as though you had cast it normally, but at a spell level one higher than the expended spell slot. For example, if you expended a 2nd-level spell slot to charge the spell, it would be cast as if you had used a 3rd-level spell slot. A spell cannot be charged above 9th level.

This ability provides you with a unique way to enhance the potency of your spells by carefully timing their release. It rewards strategic planning and precise execution, allowing you to surprise your foes with the heightened magical energy you've harnessed.

You may do this a number of times equal to the spell attack bonus per long rest.
