Planewalker
While many who dabble in the arcane become acquainted to some degree with the various creatures from the farthest reaches of all known planes, few take it as far as the planewalkers. These practitioners of the magical arts form a close bond with one specific outsider and gain power from it. For that reason, they are generally feared and misunderstood by the population at large. Communing with that source, the planewalkers gain not only a host of spells, but a number of strange abilities known as Calls. As the planewalker grows in power, he might learn more about the being that grants his magic powers, but some choose to remain blissfully unaware. Some might even become afraid of that source, fearful of what its true motives are.
The planewalker is not a standard spellcaster but is able to replace one if need be. With only a few spells, the planewalker relies on his calls and cantrips for most of his needs, resorting to big spells when the time is right. And thanks to his other abilities, he can stand his own ground in close combat.

4. – Imbalanced Defense (9 FP, restricted – charges, spell-like)
As an action, you call upon the force that gives you power. For the next minute or until this ability ends, all Attack rolls made against you have disadvantage.

5. – Pact of the Curse (10 FP, unrestricted, spell-like)
You now have a Cursed Weapon. You can either create it from nothing as an action, in which case it looks like pure brightly colored magic in the shape of an object of your choosing (most often a melee weapon) or you can transform an ordinary object into a Cursed Weapon, in which case plague-like runes of magical energy in the same colors visibly cover the object (takes an action).
Regardless of which method of creation you used, the Cursed Weapon is considered a magical melee weapon, dealing 1d8 withering damage on a hit. You may use your Spellcasting modifier in place of your Strength modifier when making attacks with this weapon. The Cursed Weapon disappears if it leaves close range of you for more than 1 minute, or if you choose to make it disappear (no action required). You can make it reappear as an action, or create a new Cursed Weapon.

When you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this ability to instantly transport the target trough the Bangle fields. The creature disappears until the end of your next turn. After that duration ends, the creature returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not a Faith Keeper, it takes 10d10 mental damage. Once you use this, you must finish a long rest to regain use.
10. – Master of Lent Power (10 FP, unrestricted)
You can spend 1 minute to plead to the being that granted you your powers to regain all your uses of Siphoned Magic. Once you use this ability, you must finish a long rest. Additionally, you can mask your Cursed Weapon to be an ordinary object to all but magical means of detection.
