Glamour
The forms of spirits are malleable in their appearance. As a spirit, you possess a glamour. This glamour's appearance functions in the same way as the disguise self spell, but has one set visage that is determined during character creation. Scars or physical changes inflicted on your true form may also be inflicted on your glamour at the DM's discretion. You can don or doff your glamour as a bonus action. Spiritual Form
You are a spirit, your body and soul are one. You have advantage on any saving throws that would displace your soul and are immune to the effects of the magic jar spell. If your soul were fully removed from your body you would lose your innate ability to do magic and become mortal with animaleipis. Elemental Affinity
Every oni comes into being with attunement to an element. At first level you can choose this attunement, gaining a cantrip and damage resistance associated with the element.
Due to your association with the realm of dreams, you can cast the sleep spell once per day at first level. When cast in this way, creatures within the spells area of effect must make wisdom saving throws or become frightened of you. The DC equals 8 + your proficiency + your charisma modifier. On a failed save a creature becomes frightened of you for one minute, repeating the saving throw each round at the end of their turn.
