Prestige Ancestry: Mana Sundered
Violently stripped of magic, cursed with negative arcana are the Mana Sundered, people with negative magical ability. They cannot wield magic, instead destroying it on contact as the magical void within them absorbs the weave's energy before it can be used. While their curse makes them incapable of wielding magic, the Mana Sundered's abilities are often put to use directly fighting magic users, becoming terrifying lone bastions of the nonmagical.
The mana sundered are rare, and are never naturally born, only stripped of their magic by outside forces, such as celestials, fiends, fey, or some other force. A mana sundered's child always has neither magical nor mana-sundered abilities, being perfectly nonmagical.
For whatever the reason, you were stripped of your magical aptitude, forever cursed to live without magic.
Prestige
The Mana-Sundered is a Prestige Ancestry. It can be taken after character creation at any point when you would receive a Feat in place of taking a regular Feat. A character must meet the following prerequisites to do so:
- You must have a Constitution score of 15 or higher.
- You must have 30 or more hit points.
- You can't already have a Prestige Ancestry.
Your DM might allow you to ignore one or more of these prerequisites, and may allow you to take this Prestige ancestry at 1st level.
Regardless of when you gain this ancestry, its features modify or add onto your base ancestry's. If a feature is present on both the prestige ancestry and the base ancestry, you take the version of the feature in the prestige ancestry unless specified otherwise. If your DM allows you to gain more than one prestige ancestry, you use the newest version of any feature it has that you previously gained.
Mana-Sundered Traits
Creature Type. You count as an Aberration in addition to any other creature types you gained from your base ancestry.
Antimagical. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. However, you can't cast spells by means other than magic items and this prestige ancestry's features.
Arcana Consumer. As a reaction to taking magical damage, you can choose to reduce the damage taken by 1d10 + your Constitution modifier, absorbing the magical energy into your arcane void.
Magic Suppressant. Over the course of a minute, you can absorb the magic from an item or willing creature, as if by the Dispel Magic spell. When you do so, the effect is not magical.
