Condition Immunities to Charmed and Poisoned
Senses: Darkvision 60ft, Passive perception 10
Languages: Understands Common and Draconic, but can't speak. Can speak and write Common due to the Language minor enchantment on his Greater Quickdraw Belt
Shared Mind: A Homunculus knows everything its creator knows, including all the languages the creator can speak and read. Likewise, everything the construct senses is known to its master, even over great distances, provided both are on the same plane.
Telepathic Bond: While the Homunculus is on the same plane of existence as its master, it can magically convey what it senses to its master, and the two can communicate telepathically.
Action: Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5ft, one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. If the savings throw fails by 5 or more, the target is instead poisoned for 1d10 minutes and unconscious while poisoned in this way.
As a Familiar: Elric acts independently of Markus and in combat rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. It can't use an action to attack, but can take other actions as normal. [When dropped to 0hp, a Familiar disappears leaving behind no physical form, it reappears only after the Find Familiar Ritual is cast again.]
As an action, Markus can dismiss the Homunculus familiar to a pocket dimension. As an action, while it is temporarily dismissed, Markus can summon the Homunculus so it reappears in any unoccupied space within 30ft of Markus.
Also, when the Homunculus is within 100ft of Markus and Markus casts a spell with the range of touch, the Homunculus can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell using its reaction action. (If the spell requires an attack roll, Markus' attack roll is used.)
Wearing a Greater Quickdraw Belt, with its contents listed in the Forgotten Realms Narrator 'character description'. this item is enchanted with the Language (Common, can speak/understand/read/write)

Elric can breathe dragon's breath as per the spell (not a casting of the spell just the 'bonus action') at 2nd level once per short or long rest due to the Necklace of the Agile Dragon.

Warlock Features:
Otherworldly Patron: Mappo no Ryujin (Great Old One)
Awakened Mind: Markus' alien knowledge gives him the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. Markus can communicate telepathically with any creature he can see within 30ft. He doesn't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand his telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.
Entropic Ward: Markus has learned to magically ward himself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good luck for himself. When a creature makes an attack roll against Markus, he can use his reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses, Markus' next attack roll against the creature has advantage if Markus makes it before the end of his next turn. Once used, this feature is recovered after finishing either a short or long rest.
Thought Shield: Markus's thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless he allows it. He also has Resistance to Psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to Markus, that creature takes the same amount of damage that Markus does.
Pact Boon: Pact of the Tome (Gain 3 Cantrips from any class using Charisma as the caster stat while carrying this book. Can perform a 1-hour long ceremony to receive a new copy of this book if the old is lost or destroyed. This ceremony destroys the previous copy if it still exists. The book turns to ash when Markus dies.)
Invocations:
Eldritch Adept: Ghostly Gaze [As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have darkvision if you don't already have it. This special sight lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spel). During that time,
you perceive objects as ghostly, transparent images. Once you use this invocation, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.]
1: Agonizing Blast [Add Charisma modifier to damage for each Eldritch Blast.]
2: Book of Ancient Secrets [Gain 2 level 1 rituals from any class. Can add new rituals to the Book of Shadows if the spell's level is equal to or less than half Markus' warlock level rounded up {Currently maximum is Level 5}. For each level of the ritual spell, the transcription process requires 2 hours and 50gp for the rare inks required to inscribe it.]
3: Repelling Blast [When you hit a creature with Eldritch Blast, you can push the creature up to 10ft away from you in a straight line.]
4: Devil's Sight [You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120ft.]
5: Misty Visions [You can cast Silent Image at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.]
6: Gift of the protectors [A new page appears in your Book of Shadows. With Markus' permission, a creature can use its action to write its name on that page, which can contain a number of names equal to Markus' proficiency bonus (+4). When any creature whose name is on the page is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, the creature magically drops to 1 hit point instead. Once this magic is triggered, no creature can benefit from it until Markus finishes a long rest. As an action, Markus can magically erase a name on the page by touching it. The names on the page are: Markus, Lucy, Varis, Zerry.]

8: Cosmic Rifts (Casting Time: 1 Action; Range: Self; Components V, S; Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Minute)
You continually open, close, and shift cosmic rifts in a sphere with a radius of 60 feet centered on you. These rifts your adversaries treat everywhere within 60 feet of you as difficult terrain due to the gravitational distortions caused by these rifts as they hamper your adversaries. With your concentration the rifts will protect your allies. When an ally or an object would be hit by a ranged attack a small cosmic rift places itself in the ling of attack increasing the ally’s, or object’s AC by 5 (4+1) against that attack. If the attack misses, then once per turn, but no more than a number of times in one round equal to your Charisma bonus (5) you can use the rifts to try and deflect an attack that misses an ally or an object. You can choose a new creature or object within 120 feet of yourself to become the new target for the attack. Use the original attack roll to determine if the attack hits its new target.
At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, AC bonus increases by 1 each slot level above 4th.
9: Summon Aberrant Spirit (Range: 90ft; Components V, S, M [a pickled tentacle and an eyeball in a crystal vial worth at least 400gp]; Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Hour) Markus calls forth a spirit from the Far Realm or another alien realm of madness. This spirit manifests physically in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Aberrant Spirit stat block below. When you cast the spell, choose Beholderkin, Slaadi, or Star Spawn. The creature physically resembles your choice, which also determines some of the traits in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions for the spell’s duration. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it defends itself but otherwise takes no action. {Cast at 5th Level.}
10: Synaptic Static (Range: 120ft; Components: V, S; Duration: Instantaneous) Each creature within a 20ft radius sphere that has an Intelligence of 3 or more makes an Intelligence Saving Throw. A target takes 8d6+2 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. After a failed save, a target has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all of its attack rolls, ability checks, and Constitution Saving Throws to maintain concentration. The target can make an Intelligence Saving Throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
11: Scrying

Mystic Arcanum (These spells can be cast once per long rest.)
6th Level:  Mass of Mappo no Ryujin
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a preserved tentacle or pseudopod from a creature and a sharp tooth)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
        You create a mass of squirming, slippery, flexible, tangled dark green-blue pseudopods bristling with razor-sharp white teeth. The mass appears within range on a solid surface and lasts for the duration. You choose to make the mass up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick or a circle that has a 20-foot diameter and is up to 20 feet high and 5 feet thick. The mass blocks line of sight.
        When the mass appears, each creature within its area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d6 piercing and psychic damage and is frightened of the mass, and not the caster, or half as much damage and not frightened on a successful save. While any creature is within the mass, it hears frightening whispers in a multitude of voices.
        A creature can move through the mass, albeit slowly and painfully. For every 1 foot a creature moves through the mass, it must spend 4 feet of movement. Furthermore, the first time a creature enters the mass on a turn or ends its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 6d6 slashing and psychic damage and is frightened of the wall on a failed save, or half as much damage and not frightened on a successful one.
       A creature that starts its turn frightened of the mass will continue to be frightened until either the creature makes a Charisma save at the end of a turn or the mass vanishes when the spell ends.

Necklace Variant of Helmet of Telepathy: This is a variant of the standard helmet of telepathy that trades out the ability to place a suggestion once per day to instead amplify a Great Old One Pact Warlock’s Awakened Mind ability into being 60ft Telepathy and for the use of the Helmet’s Detect Thoughts ability to extend out to a range of 60ft instead of the normal 30ft. For anyone else, they simply gain the Awakened Mind ability that a Great Old One Pact Warlock would get, which only allows one-way telepathic communication unless the wearer of the helmet is using the Detect Thoughts ability and is focused on a single individual to have a telepathic conversation with that individual by relying on Detect Thoughts to hear the telepathic responses. This item is still uncommon and requires attunement to function. (Quirks are a +2 bonus to Initiative, and Attunement only takes 1 minute (instead of ten).) With the Forge of Spells, this enchantment has been shifted into a necklace.

Feat Notes
War Caster: You have Advantage on Constitution Saving Throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage. You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at that creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.
