Book of Primal Metamorphosis - The Remaker

Requires attunement.

Each morning, this book takes a different form. Sometimes it is tall and slender, sometimes crusty and bent, sometimes merely a folio of loose leaves. It always bound in dragon scale of one color or the other, and it is filled with cryptic texts which flow over and across one another, constantly shifting and rewriting themselves to the users unconscious desires. This tome has been notoriously hard to track, but throughout the centuries it has left a trail of misshapen and monstrous mages. It was originally created by a golden dragon as a gift to an evil mage. The mage coveted draconic powers, and thought the book would grant him the powers of the ancient beasts. It is said that he still flies above the earth as an immortal but otherwise powerless wyvern.

For wizards, this can be considered a spellbook which includes all Wizard transmutation spells, even while it isn’t attuned to anyone.

This book sometimes gives its users permanent draconic features. The color and elemental typing of the features changes each day (roll a d10 on the dragonborn color list). These features may only be removed with Greater Restoration or Remove Curse cast at 8th level or higher, or by the Wish spell. Even Reanimation magic does not remove them. Once you gain all of these features, you become an unaligned Wyvern incapable of speech. Restoring you to your original form will be titanically difficult. If the wyvern ever dies, it reforms after 24 hours in the nearest birds nest with an unobstructed view of the sky. These are the features:

#### Claws

Your gain an unarmed strike which deals 2d6 slashing damage, and have disadvantage on sleight of hand or craft checks.

#### Wings

You gain a fly speed equal to your base walking speed, and can no longer use armor not specifically designed with wings in mind.

#### Breath

You gain the breath weapon ability of a dragonborn of your level and current color. If you are already a dragonborn, double the number of damage dice that that ability does. You can also digest raw meat, but find all other food distasteful. You cannot benefit from Goodberry or Hero’s Feast anymore.

#### Scales

You gain resistance to a damage type based on whatever color you are. You have disadvantage on Stealth checks.

#### Greed

You know the nature and value of anything you hold in your hands (or claws). You cannot accept whenever even the smallest of objects is taken from you. When something is stolen from you, place a hit dice from your maximum pool on this item. You can never regain or spend that hit dice until you have retrieved the lost goods.

#### Eyes

You gain blindsight out to 30ft. You can no longer find beauty in actions, only in things.

* When you target a creature with Polymorph, True Polymorph, or Shapechange, you can choose to expend an additional spell slot of any level. The target gains 1d12 hitpoints per level of the slot spent.
* The first time each week that you would drop to 0 hit points, you may choose to regain hitpoints equal to your level. Whenever you do so, you also gain one random permanent draconic feature.
* You may cast polymorph any number of times per week. Each time after the first (using this feature), you gain a random permanent draconic feature.
* You may, as an action, gain a permanent draconic feature of your choice.
* Loss of Control: Whenever you lose concentration on a spell (not due to the spells duration coming to an end), roll a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, on a failure, you gain a permanent draconic feature.
