Ancestral Cantrip

Feat 1

Ancestry
You have awakened a fragment of your lineage’s innate magic.

  • Benefit: Choose one cantrip from your ancestry’s magic entry. You can cast that cantrip at will as an innate spell.

  • The cantrip is automatically heightened to a spell rank equal to half your level (rounded up), following standard cantrip rules.

  • This cantrip uses the magical tradition listed in your ancestry’s standardized feat entry (for example, “Ancestral Cantrip (primal; any primal cantrip)”).

Special
If your ancestry lists multiple eligible cantrips, or says “any [tradition] cantrip,” you can select this feat more than once; each time you do, choose a different cantrip.

Use in Starfall: This is a standardized ancestry feat available to any ancestry that lists “Ancestral Cantrip” in its standardized feats block, using whatever tradition and spell options that ancestry specifies (arcane, occult, primal, or divine, usually tied to its Rift devotions).


Ancestral Cantrip turns a one‑line ancestry note into a play‑defining choice: a small, always‑on spell that makes your lineage’s relationship to the Rift tangible in daily life, and gives Starfall GMs an easy lever for culture, recruitment, and intrigue.
