Starting at 1st level, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach as an Action with a free hand or your implement. On a hit that attack deals 1d6 + Charisma modifier necrotic damage. This damage increases to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier at Warlock level 5, 3d10 + your Charisma modifier at Warlock level 11, and 4d12 + your Charisma modifier at Warlock level 17.
Whenever a creature takes damage from this feature's melee spell attack, or an element infused by this feature as above, it makes a Constitution save against your Warlock Spell Save DC. On a failure, you gain temporary hit points equal to half this amount. A target reduced to 0 hit points or fewer by this feature's spell melee attack, or an infused element dies and you gain temporary hit points in this way as if it had automatically failed this Constitution save.
Siphon Soul: Starting at 6th level, you're able to absorb a portion of a slain foe's essence. Whenever a non-undead, non-construct creature is slain by a feature of this Patron (including elements infused by Life Siphon), you gain hit dice of soul energy equal to the hit dice of that creature. A creature whose soul energy you possess or have consumed can't be revived until you die. Whenever you could expend soul energy hit dice for a patron feature, you can choose to expend your own hit dice instead as though it were soul energy. Soul energy hit dice can be used in the following ways:
Devour Soul: When you expend hit dice to heal during a short rest, you may expend soul energy hit dice instead. These hit dice count as 1d8s.
Regain Spell Slots: As an Action you may consume hit dice of soul energy equal to twice the highest level spell you can cast with your Pact Magic feature to regain a Pact Magic spell slot.
Material Component: You may expend any number of hit dice of soul energy to reduce the cost of material components that are consumed by a Pact Magic or Mystic Arcana spell by 50 gold pieces per hit dice expended in this way (to a minimum of 0).
You cannot have more hit dice of soul energy at once than twice your Warlock level; any hit dice of soul energy gained over this amount is lost.
Once you've gained hit dice of soul energy that equal or exceed your Warlock level since your last short or long rest, you cannot gain more until you successfully complete a short or long rest; any hit dice of soul energy gained over your Warlock level before you do is lost.
Conduit of Dark: Starting at 10th level, you become a living conduit of the Dark, allowing you to evoke a measure of its hungering abyss, however briefly. You can expend 5 or more hit dice as an Action to gain the following benefits until you use this ability again, or you dismiss it while you're not incapacitated: Immunity to Necrotic damage. Your hit point maximum can't be reduced. As an Action, you can end this feature's effects. If you do, you can expend any number of soul energy hit dice up to your Warlock level. Each creature within a radius centered on you equal to 10 feet + 5 feet per hit dice expended in this way then must make a Constitution save against your Warlock Spell Save DC. This effect is always infused with your Life Drain feature. Targets that fail this save take 4d6 necrotic damage + 1d6 necrotic damage per hit dice expended by this effect or half this damage on a success. A target that succeeds or fails on this Constitution save automatically succeeds or fails respectively on their Constitution save made against Life Drain this effect provokes. Once you end this feature's effects as above (not by dismissing its effects), you can't use it again until you take a short or long rest.
By Darkness Devoured: Starting at 14th level, you can expend 10 hit dice of soul energy to cast Banishment without material components. For every additional 5 hit dice of soul energy expended in this way, this Banishment is cast at 1 higher level (up to a maximum equal to the maximum spell level you can cast with Pact Magic or Mystic Arcana). Instead of being banished to a harmless demiplane or its normal plane of existence, the target is sent to a terrible abyss of the negative energy plane where it is incapacitated and cannot regain hit points, taking 2d10 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns that ignores resistance and immunity. This effect is always infused with your Life Drain feature. At the end of each of its turns an affected target can make a Charisma saving throw against this spell. After a target makes three successful saving throws in this way, this spell's effects end for that target. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you take a short or long rest.
Special Note: In order to have the patron Nekron, a warlock must be dead and therefore Radiant damage does double damage. A wielder gains no undead benefits or immunities, because the ring grants them semi-life. Gaining a black ring, kills the host. However raises the host if he is already dead. The dead are viable disciples of Nekron.
