Soul Binder Spells

Spellcasting

By 2nd level, you are now more used to being linked to a magical creature, and have started to be able to use some magic to help your allies or bolster your companion.

Cantrips

At 2nd level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Soul Binder spell list. You learn an additional Soul Binder cantrip of your choice at 4th level and another at 10th level.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Soul Binder table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Soul Binder spells. To cast one of your Soul Binder spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. 

You prepare the list of Soul Binder spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Soul Binder spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Soul Binder spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Soul Binder level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level Soul Binder, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st- level spell heroism, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Soul Binder spells, since the power of your magic relies on you being able to communicate with your companion and the bond that you share. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Soul Binder spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your Soul Binder spells.
