== Thaumaturgist Attunement ==
Thaumaturgists are maledictors who are in tune with the flow of the natural world. They have transformed their curse into a runic totem that expands its influence over the battlefield. In the same vein, the Thaumaturgist uses this magic to summon both living creatures and spiritual entities.

Thaumaturgist's Totem
At 3rd level, you have used the magic of the world to shift your curse into a physical object known as a totem. As a bonus action you place the totem in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. The totem is considered a medium size object with an AC of 10 + your proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier and has hit points equal to twice your Maledictor Level + your Intelligence modifier. The totem is immune to all conditions, poison damage, psychic damage, and has resistance to all other damage types. Since the totem is now a physical object in the world, it is now visible for all to see.
When you place the totem, it creates an aura that is a 15-foot radius sphere centered on it. Whenever a creature enters the aura for the first time, or starts its turn there, you can choose to force it to make a Constitution saving throw equal to your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature suffers all afflictions your brand would normally bestow upon it. At the end of each of the afflicted creature's subsequent turns, it can make the save again, ending the effect on a success.
On a successful save, the creature is immune to the totem's afflictions for as long as it remains in the aura. If the creature leaves the aura and later enters it again, it must make the save again. If a creature succeeds on the saving throw by 5 or more, it is immune to the totem's afflictions for 24 hours. When a creature leaves the totem's aura, it automatically loses all afflictions.
The totem alters how several of your maledictor class features work, detailed below.
Arcane Detonation
When you choose to detonate a totem, it explodes as a normal brand would. However when it does, each creature within the totem's aura must make a Dexterity saving throw equal to your spell save DC. Creatures that fail this saving throw take the damage as they would normally with this feature.
Curse Jumper
While there are no creatures within the aura of your totem, you can use your bonus action to teleport the totem within 5 feet of a hostile creature.
Cursebinder
You gain one additional totem, but do not get more at higher levels.
Totemic Infusion
Starting at 6th level, your totem empowers you and your allies strikes. Whenever a friendly creature hits a hostile creature with a melee weapon attack, if the target is within the totem's aura, you can use your reaction to roll one of your brand die to deal additional force damage to the target without consuming the totem.
Invigorating Detonation
At 10th level you can use your totem's life energy to invigorate your allies. As an action you can consume your totem, granting all friendly creatures within its aura advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of your next turn. If you have multiple allies in different totem auras, you may consume those totems as well.
Once you've used this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Totem Master
Beginning at 14th level, your totem strengthens with your connection to the world. Your totem's aura increases to a 30-foot radius sphere, and its hit points are equal to three times your Maledictor Level + twice your Intelligence modifier.
