Astrolibrium
Starting at 1st level, you have unbreakable willpower, allowing you to outperform most other creatures in feats of raw strength. You have +3 to hit on enemies with an armor class higher than yours. Also, before you make a melee attack with a heavy weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.
Danger Sense
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
Fire Bolt
Starting at 3rd level, you can hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn’t being worn or carried. This spell’s damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

TOPPLE!!

Novalibrium
Also at 10th level, you can dual wield two-handed heavy weapons. After every attack, you can perform an additional attack roll with no damage modifier or proficiency, nor does it get the damage bonus from Great Blade Rondo; this counts as your bonus action.
Reminiscence
Starting at 13th level, you can burn a polaroid photo as a bonus action, increasing your armor class by your proficiency modifier for two turns. Restores 1d6 TP. Your TP recovery from this ability increases to 1d12 at 17th level. Once per short rest.
One More!
Starting at 17th level, one round after your death, you can resuscitate with half HP and half TP. Once per two long rests.
Absolute Annihilation
At 19th level, you can perform a wide slash with your weapon, cleaving reality 10 ft. in front of you in twain. Anything caught in the attack takes 5d10 slashing damage, and any creature with less than 50 hit points is annihilated. This can only be done once per long rest.
Class Techniques
Techniques consume technique points (TP) and count as actions, unless a technique in question states otherwise. They are unique to certain classes, but function universally. When in combat, a character will recover one point at the beginning of their turn. After a short rest, half of a character's TP maximum is recovered, and all of a character's TP is recovered after a long rest.
Great Blade Rondo
At 5th level, if your attack lands, you may perform a second attack. At 9th level, you may perform a third attack if the second one lands. Each additional attack gets a bonus 1d6 slashing damage.
Force Step
At 6th level, as a bonus action you can dash horizontally to a location within 80 feet of you with the force of a hurricane. Creatures near you take 1d4 force damage at a range of 5 ft. from the force of your arrival.
Shatter Slash
Starting at 10th level, you can put all of your strength into a single, all-out attack. You bring your blade down on an enemy with such force that it shatters the ground under them, dealing 9d4 slashing damage to the target, and 2d10 force damage to any other creatures within 10 feet of the target. The damage increases to 9d10 at 15th level, and 20d10 at 20th level. You must have at least 5 TP to perform this technique.
Mana Purge
At 11th level, as an action, you can destroy all mana within 100 ft. of you, preventing magic from being used in that area for two rounds. Once per long rest.
