Class Features
Pact Magic (Level 1)
Through channelling the energy of the spiritual world, you are able to manipulate the area around you through limited magical powers. See chapter 7 of the PHB for rules on spellcasting. The information below details the spellcasting rules specific for the Spiritualist.
Cantrips
You know two Spiritualist Cantrips of your choice. Haunting Whispers and Thaumaturgy are recommended. Whenever you gain a Spiritualist level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Spiritualist Cantrips of your choice.
Spell Slots
The Spiritualist Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Spiritualist spells of levels 1–5. The table also shows the level of those slots, all of which are the same level. You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
For example, when you're a level 5 Spiritualist, you have two level 3 spell slots. To cast the level 1 spell Inflict Wounds, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a level 3 spell.
Prepared Spells of Level 1+
You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Spiritualist spells. Inflict Wounds and Hex are recommended.
The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Spiritualist levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Spiritualist Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Spiritualist spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table. The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach level 6, for example, you learn a new Spiritualist spell, which can be of levels 1–3.
If another Spiritualist feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Spiritualist spells for you.
Changing Your Prepared Spells
Whenever you gain a Spiritualist level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Spiritualist spell of an eligible level.
Spellcasting Ability
Choose One: Charisma or Wisdom is the spellcasting ability used for your Spiritualist Spells.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Spiritualist Spells.

While active, the Séance follows the rules below.
Damage Resistance
You have resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage.
Séance Damage
When you deal damage with a cantrip or spell of 1st level or higher, you deal extra damage. This extra damage is equal to the Séance Bonus shown for your Spiritualist level in the Spiritualist Features Table.

Strengthened Willpower
You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, Frightened, or Possessed.
A Voice Not Your Own
While in a Séance you typically channel one returning spirit, whose voice and mannerisms you adopt.
Duration
The Séance lasts until the end of your next turn and ends early if you stop holding your Spiritualist Spellcasting Focus or have the Incapacitated condition. If your Séance is still active on your next turn, you can extend the Séance for another round by doing the following:
Make an Attack Roll against an enemy, using your Cantrips or Spells.
Force an enemy to make a Saving Throw, using your Cantrips or Spells.
Take a Bonus Action to extend your Séance
Each time your Séance is extended, it lasts until the end of your next turn. You can maintain a Séance for up to 10 minutes.

Prerequisites
If an intuition has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn that intuition. For example, if an intuition requires you to be a level 5+ Spiritualist, you can select the intuition once you reach Spiritualist level 5.

Whenever you gain a Spiritualist level, you can replace one of your intuitions with another one for which you qualify. You can't replace an intuition if it's a prerequisite for another intuition that you have.
