	Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from an attack or ability, you can force the caster to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes damage equal to being hit by two of your ''eldritch blasts''. You can apply any single blast effect you know to this damage without expending SP; the creature counts as having failed any required saving throws. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and is considered to have succeeded on any requisite saving throw (the damage is not halved again).

Instead, you primarily shape and throw raw SP, molding it into shapes and aspecting it in various ways. This is called an "eldritch blast".		The contact with your patron has awoken you to a strange, otherworldly power. Unlike conventional spellcasters, you don't learn or cast regular spells naturally, other than cantrips. Instead, you primarily shape and throw raw aether, molding it into shapes and aspecting it in various ways. This is called an "eldritch blast".

	At its most basic, as an action on your turn you can shoot a bolt of raw kinetic energy at a creature or object within 90 ft. of you. Make a ranged spell attack, using Charisma as the ability score. On a hit, the bolt deals 1d12 + your Charisma modifier bludgeoning or piercing your choice) damage to the target. This damage increases by 1d12 at level 5, 11, and 17. This counts as casting a cantrip and the damage is magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance or immunity.
