Mortal Anchor
Prerequisite: Fey creature type
You can use your action to bind your essence to one willing
living creature you can see or hear. You may have only one
Mortal Anchor at a time, and a creature may only serve as
Mortal Anchor for one faerie. The bond has the following
properties:
• You can communicate telepathically with your mortal anchor
if you are on the same plane of existence and within a
number of feet equal to 5 × your level. Your Mortal anchor
has can disable or re-enable or telepathic link using their
bonus action.
• You can cast the Scrying and Sending spell targeting your
Mortal Anchor without expending a spell slot, even if you
don’t know the spells, and regain the ability to do so when
you finish a long rest. Your mortal anchor has the
prerogative to succeed a saving throw against these spells
automatically.
• The bond is an enchantment of the highest level spell a
spellcaster of your level can expend. You are aware of any
attempts to break it, and may make a DC 14 Insight check to
discover the perpetrator. Your mortal anchor can revoke the
bond at any time using their action. When the bond is
broken, you must succeed a DC 20 Charisma saving throw
(without advantage) or take one level of exhaustion.
