learn to live with the consequences in their own way.
Each demi-dragon is different, with some drawing heavily Ritual Transformation
The exact details of the demi-dragon transformation are
unclear, but the nature of innate dragon magic hints at
multiple paths to the same result. Whether accomplished
through magical prowess, alchemy, zealous devotion, or by
bathing in dragon's blood, the transformation draws upon the
essence of a true dragon to instill a spark of magic within the
subject, forcing them to take on the physical characteristics
of a dragon. Though adopting the shape of a dragon during
the transformation, the subject is often brought only halfway
there, and can be left temporarily scaleless or wingless. Such
deficiencies tend to correct themselves over time—but once
transformed, there is no known way to reverse the
metamorphosis.
Spark of Magic
As part of their transformation, a spark of magic forms in the
heart of a demi-dragon—this is what allows them to mimic a
dragon's power and imitate their elemental breath weapons.
As a result of their unusual nature, demi-dragons develop
the ability to siphon magic out of their surroundings,
requiring an external source of magical energy to feed this
spark as a way to bring themselves closer to the inherent
nature of true dragons. The relative power of this spark is a
measure of the magical essence a demi-dragon has
accumulated.
Where true dragons are born into their natural splendor,
demi-dragons must toil, steal, and sacrifice for but a fraction
of that power.

bond can take the form of any beloved object.

Optional Class Features
This section offers additional features that you can gain as a
demi-dragon. Unlike your other class features, you don't gain
the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM,
you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you
meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description.
These features can be selected separately from one another;
you can use some, all, or none of them.
Transformed Power
1st-level demi-dragon feature
When you first take a level in demi-dragon while already
having levels in another class, you may optionally convert
those levels to an equivalent amount of demi-dragon levels.
Indefinite Mind
1st-level demi-dragon feature
As an option, choose Intelligence or Wisdom. The chosen
ability score is used in place of Charisma for Dragon Spark
and Dragon Scales, as well as every demi-dragon feature that
refers to Charisma (except for Force of Self).
Breath Recharge
1st-level demi-dragon feature, which changes the Dragon's
Breath feature
Dragon's Breath no longer stores multiple charges. When
you use your Dragon's Breath, roll a d6 at the start of each
of your turns. On a 6, you regain use of the feature.
Starting at 13th level, you regain use of the feature if you
roll a 5 or 6.
Resolution
1st- and 18th-level demi-dragon feature, which replaces the
Devour Magic feature
You act with purpose and celebrate your triumphs. As a
bonus action, you set your attention upon the
accomplishment of a task—be it slaying a particular foe,
obtaining an item not in your possession, or helping an ally in
some manner. The task must be non-trivial in nature. While
the task remains undone, you have advantage on your next
Wisdom saving throw. When the task is accomplished, you
regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your demi-dragon level. If
you abandon the task or fail to complete it before 10 minutes
have passed, these benefits are lost.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long
rest before you can use it again. Starting at 18th level, you
gain advantage on all Wisdom saving throws until the task is
accomplished.
Size Increase
10th- and 20th-level demi-dragon feature
Your size increases to Large. At 20th level, your size
increases to Huge.
Note: A permanent size increase can be a significant
problem during the course of a campaign, especially from the
DM's perspective. Consider carefully whether to allow this. At
the DM's option, the suggested levels can be adjusted.
