All creatures of your choice within a 30-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw against your Slayer spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes slashing damage equal to your Cut Dragon Slayer level plus your Constitution modifier, and their movement speed is halved until the start of your next turn. Creatures that succeed on the saving throw take half damage and suffer no additional effects. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Once per long rest, you can perform the Dragon's Severance. This ability allows you to make a series of incredibly precise and powerful slashes against a single target, dealing massive damage, 8d10.

Dragon's Ascendancy grants you the Dragon's Wrath, Eternal Cut, and Legendary Presence abilities.

Dragon's Wrath: Once per long rest, you can enter a state of Dragon's Wrath as a bonus action. In this state, your speed increases by 15ft, and you gain advantage on all attack rolls. Your Dragon Slayer Magic become even more potent (add 1d10 to all damage rolls), and you gain resistance to all damage types that weapons use.

Eternal Cut: Additionally, your attacks become so precise and deadly that they can cut through magical defenses. Your attacks ignore resistance and treat immunity as resistance to slashing damage. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until Dragon's Wrath ends.

Legendary Presence: While Dragon's Wrath is active, you emit an awe-inspiring presence. Creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. Friendly creatures within the same range gain advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
