class features:
Sigils are glyphs that you can craft and summon at any point; each having a different and unique effect. These sigils are made using the necrotic language so that you may communicate with the spirits that grant them to you. The amount of times you can summon a Sigil is listed in the "Prepared Sigils" section of the Spirit Caller Table, and on a short rest you can craft half as many.
Sigil Limit. The Sigil Limit tells you how many different Sigils you can craft for use per day. Your Sigil limit increases as shown in the table. In the description of each Sigil you can find the amount of times it can be used, and the length that each Sigil can remain in effect. If a sigil refers to your Intelligence DC, the number it refers to is 10 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence Modifier
Listener
Starting at 1st level, a spirit of your choice guides you in your path of the Spirit Caller. The nature and appearance of this spirit is up to you, for it is fabricated for you by the Ethereal plane, but it is always invisible to everyone save for yourself and those you allow to see it. Your choice grants you bonuses in the form of your class resource, Sigils, at 1st, 6th, 9th, 14th and 18th levels, detailed at the end of the class description.Sigils

Separate
At 2nd level, you can stare directly into the souls of the living and place a metaphysical wall between the body and spirit. As a bonus action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Intelligence DC; On a failed save, that creature takes 1d6 psychic damage.Pulled from the Edge
At 3rd level, you can briefly grant people passage from the world beyond. As an action, you can touch a willing creature that has fallen unconscious. That creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw against your Intelligence DC. On a success, they are brought back with half of their total hit points. On a failure, they are brought back with only a quarter of their total hit points, and a permanent scar somewhere on their body in the shape of your hand. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, and 16th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.Transparency
At 7th level the Ethereal Weave flows through your body. In dim light or darkness you have advantage on stealth checks, as most would see right through you.Spiritual Influence
At 10th level you start to lose your physical form. You may cast Invisibility on one creature. At 15th level this increases to two creatures and at 18th level this increases to three creatures. Once you use this feature, you must take a long rest before you can use it again.Sigil Maker
At 13th level you master the basics of your Sigils. You can use Calligrapher's supplies to make weaker versions of them for others to use. You must spend a short rest to imbue the Sigil into the object with a (DC = 20 - INTMOD) Intelligence check. You can make up to your intelligence modifier of Extra Sigils. Once the Sigil is used, it destroys the object it was drawn on. If it is a weapon or piece of armor, it is rusted to scrap metal. If it is any piece of wood, it combusts. If it is stone or similar material, it is crumbled. This Sigil marking can be broken or interrupted if the item holding the boundary is destroyed or damaged in any way that affects the mark. e.g. The paper is torn or drawn on. The metal is heated or chipped.Ethereal Feast
At 20th level, if a target has less than 100 hit points, you can force them to make a Wisdom saving throw against your Intelligence DC. On a success, they are unaffected. On a failure, they are converted into material for Spirits to feed upon. Spirits from the Ethereal Plane will swarm and tear the victim apart. After they have consumed the victim, they will provide 5d10 hit points to you and up to 10 creatures of your choice.subclass options:
