Wild Magic
- Wild Magic Surge (passive): Jinx can trigger a Wild Magic Surge whenever casting a spell. Any time Jinx casts a spell, roll a Surge Check: Cantrip = d20, lvl spell = D6. If the result is a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table (DM's discretion to skip).

Darlingverse Stabilization
These abilities focus on channeling chaotic energy safely and manipulating localized luck.
1. Minor Stabilization: Taming the Tides (Bonus Action or Reaction)
- Requirement: Jinx must be within 30 ft. of a source of minor chaotic magic (e.g., an unnaturally fluctuating light, a small crack).
- Effect: Jinx safely channels raw chaos. As a Bonus Action, Jinx gains Advantage on their next Wild Magic Surge roll or can spend 1 Sorcery Point to grant herself or an ally within 30 ft Inspiration. Alternatively, Jinx can use this as a Reaction and expending two Sorcery Points when a creature within 30 ft. fails a saving throw against allowing the creature to re-roll the save.
2. Major Stabilization: The Perfect Misfortune (Action & 1 Minute Concentration)
- Requirement: Jinx must expend a 2nd level spell slot or higher and remain in a state of controlled arcane flux through Concentration.
- Effect: Jinx manipulates the local probability field, suppressing large-scale mental errors. All hostile creatures within a 30-foot radius must succeed on a DC 17 Charisma Saving Throw or suffer a -4 penalty to all all Saving Throws, or -2 on a successful save. If Jinx maintains concentration for a full minute, the ritual permanently stabilizes the underlying pattern of probability in the area, permanently preventing any enemy from benefiting from gaining Advantage on their rolls in this location. If the ritual is interrupted, Jinx immediately suffers a loss of 3 Sorcery points, a lvl 2 spell slot or takes 6d6 psychic damage as well as activating a Wild Magic Surge.

Jinx: The Dazzling Performer
Before Darling: Jinx was an energetic and wildly charismatic tabaxi child of nine, who believed the world was her stage. She was a natural street performer in Waterdeep's bustling streets, known for her acrobatic flips, dazzling sleight of hand, and quick, playful wit. She thrived on attention and loved to surprise people, often using her mischief to bring a smile to someone's face, or perhaps to skillfully pick a loose coin from their pocket. She yearned for grand spectacles and dazzling lights.
Captured by Papa: One vibrant afternoon, while mid-leap during a particularly captivating performance in a busy market square, Jinx felt a sudden, profound chill. A sweet, cloying scent enveloped her, and before she could even land her tumble, a heavy, suffocating cloth was thrown over her. She remembered the terrifying sensation of her performance abruptly ending, of being silenced and dragged away from the cheering crowds into an inescapable darkness.
Papa's Basement and the Void: Her next fragmented memory was of cold, damp stone beneath her, and the terrifying, metallic tang of fear in the air. She saw other children, small and whimpering in rough cages, their wide, frightened eyes reflecting the dim, flickering light. Jinx recalled a looming, shadowy figure—Papa—moving with chilling, unnatural silence towards a nearby cage. Then, a blinding surge of sickening, performance-stopping horror erupted, and the memory violently tore itself away, leaving a cold, empty void where the full, unspeakable truth should be.
Life in the Darlingscape: The Master of Misdirection: When Jinx awakened within "The Golem's Canvas," she instinctively understood this strange purgatory as a vast, unpredictable stage. Her inherent need for attention and her mastery of misdirection became her tools for survival and expression. She views her role as infusing Darling's mind with vibrant, albeit sometimes chaotic, energy, using distraction and illusion to divert dangers or lighten the pervasive gloom. She often holds court in the Shifting Bazaar, turning its ever-changing stalls into impromptu stages.
Closer To: Jinx revels in the shared chaos and humor with Pip, often collaborating on grand, whimsical schemes to liven up Darling's mind. She finds a kindred spirit in Lysander's flair for the dramatic and grand gestures, seeing him as a fellow performer on a larger stage. She also enjoys working with Skree, appreciating his ability to provide unique sound effects and mimicry for her illusions and distractions.
Antagonistic Towards: Jinx finds Kael's grounded seriousness and Lyra's rigid adherence to order utterly stifling to her creative spirit, viewing them as joyless impediments. She also finds Borin's unimaginative and unyielding nature profoundly boring and resistant to her delightful antics.
