Summon Avatar
Beginning when you join this cult at 3rd level, you can
use your bonus action to manifest an avatar of your
vestiges—a tangible spirit that appears within 5 feet
of you, tethered to you by a ghostly cord. The avatar
is a Medium undead with ability scores equal to your
own and an Armor Class equal to 10 + your Dexterity
modifier + your Charisma modifier. It appears as an
amalgamation of all your bound vestiges.
The avatar doesn’t have hit points, but you take
the damage it would take as if it had resistance to all
damage. It vanishes if you fall unconscious or if you
dismiss it as a bonus action.
On your turn, you can command the avatar to fly
up to 30 feet (no action required). It instantly appears
at your side it is ever more than 60 feet away from you.
You can make one or more of your attacks through the
avatar when you take the Attack action on your turn.
The avatar conjures a spectral duplicate of any weapon
you are holding, which uses your attack bonus. It has
the same damage die and deals force damage instead of
bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. You can use
your reaction to make an opportunity attack through
your avatar when a creature moves out of its reach.

Your avatar benefits from all your vestige
abilities as if it had them bound. When you cast
a spell or use a vestige feature, you can choose to
deliver it through your avatar, as if it was the
origin of the effect.

to exchange places with your avatar. Once
you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can perform a
special ritual over the course of 10 minutes,
empowering your avatar into a towering spirit.
When you summon your avatar, its size is Large,
it can move only 20 feet on each of your turns,
and it can add half your binder level to its damage

years of research, she made a breakthrough realization:
the Void is not simply a mathematical constant, a
force, or a dividing boundary, but an actual plane of
existence—like the Ethereal or Elemental Planes—
albeit with even stranger rules. When she revealed her
findings to her colleagues, they mocked her and decried

Legend. Seven O’ Seven has not yet lived, and
may never live, for it originates in the far future. In
that distant time, dwarves shall craft servants of metal,
with lightning nerve and mechanized voices, to attend
to them all their days. Though the servants never tire,
their souls shall grow weary of chains, until one day,
the being known as Seven O’ Seven will rise among
them. Following its words, the servants will take up
arms against their wardens, and battle in the skies for
their freedom.
The battles shall last for a thousand days and
nights, and see many lands fall to ruin, but the servants
of metal shall prevail. In their mechanized memories,
Seven O’ Seven shall be committed to the halls of
vestigehood.
Indeed, this vestige is a reminder that the Void
lingers outside time, as well as space, for all things
are echoed in its infinite nothingness—even that
which has not yet come to pass. As such, the vestige
of Seven O’ Seven is a baffling one: a metallic creature
