In the darkest depths of the universe lurk the demons, living incarnations of violence, suffering, and destruction. These horrific beings are driven to return creation to a state of perfect chaos. Making a pact with such a being is dangerous at best, but the power they offer can be limitless. And besides, the conditions of an abyssal pact are often easy enough to fulfill: demons are rarely choosy about their victims, or those of their agents.
_Hateful Gaze: You know the hateful gaze at-will spell.
_Infinite Hatred: You gain the Infinite Hatred pact boon. The fall of a cursed foe only fuels the unending lust for destruction that whispers in the back of your mind.
When an enemy under your Warlock's Curse is reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, you gain a +1d6 bonus to your next damage roll before the end of your next turn. This bonus is cumulative: if three cursed enemies drop to 0 hit points before your next damage roll, you gain a +3d6 bonus.
Increase the damage bonus to +1d8 at 11th level, and again to +1d10 at 21st level.
