LIGHT AND DARK FORMS

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, your relationship to

both sun and moon grants you power over light and dark-
ness. You have two forms at 2nd level: light and dark. You can
use a bonus action to change into light form or dark form.
You can return to your normal form at any time (no action
required). Each form grants you a series of different effects,
as described below, which persist even while you are trans-
formed into a beast by Wild Shape.
Your appearance changes when in these forms. You can
choose how you appear in either form or use the table below
to determine your appearance.

ECLIPSE FORM
Beginning at 6th level, you can bring your light and dark
forms together into a special third form, called your eclipse
form. To do so, you can use a bonus action to expend one use
of your Wild Shape feature to transform into your eclipse
form, instead of transforming into a beast. You can remain in
this form for up to 1 minute; for the duration, your physi-
cal body becomes shrouded in total darkness, like a living
silhouette, and you emit a fiery glow. While in your eclipse
form, you gain the following benefits:

y Your Sun and Moon Dice become d12s, instead of d8s.

y You can use either Sun or Moon Dice on your turns,
which you can do as part of the bonus action to transform
into this form.
y You can cast spells from either form’s spell list on your
turns.

SIGHT OF THE LIGHTLESS MOON

Starting at 10th level, you can see normally in darkness, both
magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet, even if
you’re transformed by Wild Shape.
In addition, you can use an action to magically detect the
presence of any illusions or shapechangers within 30 feet
of you. You know the number and type of any illusion or
shapeshifter whose presence you sense, but not its identity,
original form, or exact location. You can do this a number
of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you regain all
expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

R ADIANCE OF THE BLINDING SUN

By the time you reach 14th level, you embody the essence of
the sun and moon. Whenever you roll one or more eclipse
dice, you add your Wisdom modifier to the total of the roll.
In addition, you emit an aura while in light, dark, or
eclipse form. The aura extends from you in a 10-foot radius.
Friendly creatures within the aura can perceive within its
area as if they had blindsight, out to the aura’s range. The
area’s appearance also changes depending on your current
form, as do its additional properties.
