Channeled Arcanum
Prerequisite: The ability to cast at least one spell.
Through focused concentration and the honing of your arcane prowess, you've learned to channel your spells to unleash their maximum potential.
When you use your action to cast a spell that requires a roll for damage, you can choose to channel it instead of releasing its energy. This uses your concentration, as if you were concentrating on a spell. If your concentration is broken before your next turn, you lose the spell slot and the channeled energy dissipates.
On your next turn, you deal maximum damage without needing to roll damage. This ability only works in combat and not to the environment or non-combatants.
Additionally, your spellcasting ability score (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) increases by +1, up to a maximum of 20.
Die Advantage
When you have advantage on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can roll three d20s instead of two and use the highest of the three rolls. If all three dice result in a number 15 or higher, you treat the roll as if you rolled a natural 20. Similarly, if all three dice result in a number 5 or lower, you treat the roll as if you rolled a natural 1.
Additionally, once per short or long rest, you can choose to reroll an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw before the outcome is determined but you must take the new roll, even if it is lower.
