The Warlock has made a pact with one of the servants of Selune the Lady of Silver. Like Selune herself, Lunes have a mercurial character that changes with the phases of the Moon. During the new moon, they are playful tricksters, fond of riddles and protectors and healers represented by the Bear. During the crescent moon, they are mysterious prophets and seekers of knowledge represented by the Cat. During the half moon, they are judges and counselors and masters of the hunt represented by the Elk. During the gibbous moon, they are storytellers particularly fond of song and speakers of the truth represented by the Raven. During the full moon, they are warriors and pack hunters represented by the Wolf. These beings vary greatly in their aspects but they always take the form of a milky-white translucent animal appropriate to their nature. The Warlock must choose what aspect of the moon they are going to serve as doing so could change some of their views on life as well as some of the additional spells they can select form.

Animal's Ferocity (1st-Level)
The Warlock can enter a state of Ferocity as a Bonus Action on their Turn when doing so a milky-white translucent image of their, Hybrid form when in Human or Hybrid form or their Animal form when in Animal form, is superimposed upon them which while having no actual mechanical effects can be a bit unnerving to some creatures, GM's discretion. While Ferocious the Warlock gains Advantage on any Physical (STR, CON, or DEX) checks or Saves tht they make. They gain Resistance to Bash, Pierce and Slash damage from non-magical attacks that are not made with silvered weapons. Further they add their Proficiency Bonus to all damage rolls they make when making a melee weapon attack that they are proficient with. The Ferocity lasts for up to 1 minute. It ends early if they are knocked unconscious or if they have not attacked a hostile creature, moved closer to a hostile creature or have not taken damage from a hostile creature during their last turn. While Ferocious the Warlock cannot cast spells nor can they concentrate on any that they have cast. The Warlock can go ferocious a number times equal to their Proficiency Bonus and they regain one use upon completing a Short Rest.

Lunarly Aspected (6th-Level)
The Warlock gains the aspect associated with the moon's phase that they have chosen to serve.
Bear : While Ferocious, the Warlock has Resistance to all damage except Pyschic Damage and attacks made with silvered weapons. Further the Warlock gains proficiency to Constitution Saves.
Cat : While Ferociois, the Warlock cannot be surprised, and creatures that are not noticed do not gain Advantage on Attack rolls against the Warlock. Further the Warlock has Advantage to Perception and Investigation checks.
Elk : While Ferocious, other creatures have Disadvantage on Opportunity Attacks against the Warlock, and the Warlock can use the Dash Action as a Bonus Action on their Turn. Further moving through non-magical difficult terrain does not cost the Warlock any extra movement and they need not make an Acrobatics check if they choose to Dash.
Raven : While Ferocious, the Warlock has a Flying speed equal to their current walking speed. However, this benefit only works in short bursts; the Warlock falls if they end their turn in the air and have nothing else holding them aloft. Further the Warlock can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from them. Additionally, dim light does not impose Disadvantage on their Wisdom(Perception) checks.
Wolf : While Ferocious, allies have Advantage on Melee Attack rolls against any creature that is hostile to the Warlock and within 5 feet of the Warlock. The Warlock can track other creatures while traveling at a fast pace, and they can move silently while traveling at a normal pace.

Shapechanger (10th-Level)
The Warlock gains the feature Shapechanger as a permanent trait and can use their Action to polymorph into an Animal-Humanoid Hybrid or into an Animal associated with their Lunar Aspect. Their statistics, other than size and AC, are either modified in the case of the Hybrid form or replaced in the case of the Animal form. In either case, the Warlock retains their Alignment, Personality, Hit Dice, Hit Points, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. They also retain all of their Skill and Save Proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature using whichever is greater. They retain the benefits of any features from their class, race or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, their senses are replaced by the senses of those of the creature they are transforming into. Any equipment they are wearing or carrying either is worn in the case of the Hybrid form or magical merges into their new Animal form. Finally, while in Animal form, except where specifically denoted otherwise, the Warlock cannot cast spells, and their ability to speak or take an action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of their Animal form. Still, transforming does not break their concentration nor prevent them from taking actions that are part of a spell that they have already cast.

(14th-Level)

3rd-Level Evocation
Casting Time : 1 Bonus Action
Range : Self
Components : V, S
Duration : Sustained, up to 10 minutes

The caster evokes a silent, weightless milky-white luminous blade into their free hand. The blade is similar in size and shape to a scimitar, and lasts for the duration. While in hand, the moon blade sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. If the caster lets go of the blade, it disappears, but they can recall the blade as a Bonus Action. The caster can use their Action to make a melee spell attack with the blade. On a hit, which leaves no visible wound, the target takes 3d6 Radiant damage. Further the moon blade temporarily scrambles the magic of the target preventing them from casting spells or calling upon any spell-like abilities until the end of their next turn. Also the functioning of any existing spell conditions upon the target are suspended and any magical items wielded by the victim do not function for the same duration. Undead are effected more severely, as the moon blade causes their substance to boil away leaving behind a permanent visible wound and inflicting an additional 3d6 Radiant damage. This additional damage inflicted upon an undead cannot be recovered.

At Higher Levels: When this spell is cast using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, both the normal and additional damage is increased by 1d6, the maximum duration increases by 5 minutes, with the light radius increasing by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd to a maximum at 7th level of 7d6 damage for up to 30 minutes shedding bright light in 30-foot radius.
