At 9th level, you can choose to become one with your [[#Chimera|Chimera]] with a ritual you perform over the course of an hour, during a short or long rest. At the end of the rest, your Chimera relinquishes its form to give you greater power. The Chimera vanishes, and your [[#Otherworldly Weapon|Otherworldly Weapon]] attacks are greatly empowered as a result. A melee attack made with your [[#Otherworldly Weapon|Otherworldly Weapon]] deals 2d6 of its respective damage, while a ranged weapon deals 1d12 damage, as long as you aren't using your [[#Dream Strike|Dream Strike]]. This empowered state is very draining on you and only lasts up to one minuteafter rolling initiative for combat. It ends early if you dispel it or are reduced to 0 hit points, and you must complete a long rest before you can use this feature again. When the state ends, you separate from your Chimera and it becomes independent once more.
