Mind of Nyle

Using the magical power of The Narrator's quill, you have shared your mind with multiple others. These minds hold much power, but also have a strong will of their own. You might be able to harness some of this power to aid you, or it may overwhelm you causing terrible catastrophes!

Features

Your mind homes multiple other powerful minds. You gain the following traits while you use your Borrowed Eyes feature.   Knowledge of the Netherese. You may attempt to harness the brain of Nyle. Make a DC 12 Intelligence saving throw when you activate Borrowed Eyes, on a success you are able to harness the knowledge of the netherese. For the duration, whenever you make a skill check using Intelligence to learn information Nyle knows about magic or a specific location, you have advantage on the check. At the DM’s discretion, a suitably high roll might cause your character to experience brief visions of the past connected to the object or location.   Arcane of the Netherese. When you use an ability granted to you by the Mind of Nyle, you must make an Intelligence saving throw with the DC determined by the feature. On a failure, the Mind of Nyle will take over your body and act for you for the remaining duration.   Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for any spell that you cast through these traits.  

Study of the Netherese

5th-level trait You can cast Identify with this trait on a successful DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. You can cast Identify in this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.   When you cast Identify in this way, you can cast it as an action.

Prison of the Netherese

11th-level trait You can cast Wall of Force with this trait on a successful DC 15 Intelligence saving throw, requiring no material components. Once you do so, you can't cast it in this way again until you finish a long rest.   In addition, when you cast Identify using the Mind of Brildomeer you can learn information from a non-magical object, and the DC for the saving throw is reduced to 12.  

Magic of the Netherese

17th-level trait You can cast Wish with this trait on a successful DC 17 Intelligence saving throw, but only to cast a spell of 8th level or lower.
