Aeon Scale

Wondrous Item, Requires Attunement

Description

Granted for services to Vanalir and her Mistress, the Aeon Scale is a

scale from a legendary beast, an ancient dragon.  The scale
retains a measure of the original creature's spirit,
manifesting as a miniature version of itself, though lacking
the sapience of its parent.  This creature seems similar to a
fire lizard of Benden, but it is loyal to whomever ties their
magic to that of the scale.  This spirit functions as a
Familiar.

              equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down), you can’t use
              it again until you complete a long rest.

                  Familiar.


                  The scale grants a breath weapon of a Time Dragon (`-choice breath`) that can be used to replace an attack, a Reactive Strike at 11th level (`-choice reactive`) that allows an opportunity attack when the wielder passes a saving throw or gets hit by an attack, and the Time Slip (`-choice slip`) ability at 15th level that allows the wielder to use a reaction to halve damage received and teleport up to 30 ft.  At 20th level, the wielder can wild shape into an Adult Time Dragon, except it only lasts for 1 minute and causes a level of exhaustion when reverting back.
