This number becomes your numerological totem and can never be changed. When you or a creature you can see rolls your numerological totem on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you may treat that roll as if you had rolled a natural 1 or a 20 on the d20. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Additionally, you learn the comprehend languages and illusory script spells. You can cast each of these spells once without spending mana and without material components. Once you do, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Legacy of Moroi. You learn the friends cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, learn the charm person spell. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the gaseous form or spider climb spell, each of which you can only cast on yourself.

Legacy of Nosferatu. You gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed, and can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free. Additionally, you learn the animal friendship and speak with animals spells. You can cast each of these spells once without spending mana and without material components. Once you do, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

You can cast spells you learn with this trait using mana if you can cast spells of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for any spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this culture).
