Class Features
Nouliths (Level 1)
Beginning at 1st level, you have achieved mastery over operating your first Noulith. These devices which combine magic and technology feed off the aether of your body to act and can be used to create a variety of different effects. At 5th level, you learn to operate a second Noulith simultaneously. At 10th level, you gain the ability to control a third Noulith, a fourth at the 15th level and a fifth at 20th level. When additional Nouliths become available to you, you are able to build them at no cost.
Nouliths have are tiny constructs with an AC of 15, Hit Points equal to 15 + 5 time your Sage level, and a flying speed of 30ft. Creatures may exist in the same space as your nouliths, and are not blocked by them. Your nouliths must remain within a 60ft. radius of you, losing their aetheric link with you if they travel any further away. If this occurs, they become inoperable and fall to the ground. As an action, you may reactivate them by touching them and re-establishing their aetheric link with your body.
If a Noulith is reduced to 0 hit points, it becomes in operable and falls to the ground. It may be repaired during a long rest at the cost of 10 gold in materials. You are able to restore your Nouliths hit points at no cost during a long rest as long as it is still operable. If they are totally destroyed, you must spend 100 gold and one day of time to rebuild.
As a bonus action you may maneuver your Nouliths, moving them a distance up to their flying speed.
Spellcasting (Level 1)
As an aspiring mage, you can cast sage spells, See the spell list included at the end of this document for the sage spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the sage spell list . You learn additional sage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sage table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Sage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expand a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of sage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the sage spell list. When you do so, choose a number of sage spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Sage level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level sage, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of sage spells requires time spent in study and review: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your sage spells. The power of your spells comes from your thorough research and preparation into aetherology.

Erudite
Erudite (Level 2)
Erudites have focused on how to defend their homes and allies via aetheric barriers and healing to provide much needed solace during the heat of battle. They approach battle as a game of chess, minimizing loss and damage so that their allies can work as efficiently. Having an Erudite at your back is to know true safety in the face of danger.
Guardian Shard

Beginning at the 6th level, as an action, you can link two Nouliths within a 10ft. radius of each other. This link creates a wall of force between them that is 10ft. wide and 10ft. tall. A creature that attempts to push through the wall must make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by your spell save DC. This wall is translucent allowing creatures to see through it without difficulty. The aether wall provides three-quarters cover when calculating ranged attacks and spells that pass through the wall.
It is possible to link multiple nouliths together to enclose a creature. When you use your action to create a wall between two nouliths, if there is a third noulith within a 10ft. radius circle of either end of the wall, you may connect them in the same way. The additional wall may not pass through the creature. A creature who is enclosed within an Aether Wall has disadvantage on their Strength (Athletics) check to push through the barrier.

You can hyper focus a creature's armour once. You must complete a long rest before you can use Impenetrable again.
Philosopher
Philosopher (Level 2)
While others focus on their new developments and their various applications, the Philosopher sees nouliths for what they are, tools to assist spell casting. As this is the case to them, philosophers prefer to stick to traditional methods of spell casting to do much of their heavy lifting, making use of nouliths to draw aether from their foes and fueling their own spell casting with it. Their focus on spell casting has provided them with the ability to manipulate their spells, setting them heads and shoulders above their fellow sages in this field.
Aetheric Siphon

You may only do this once. You must complete a long rest before you can use Overcharge: Aetherial Drain again.
Savant
Savant (Level 2)
The best defense is a good offense is the tactical approach of savants. Making use of their Nouliths, the savant provides remote controlled artillery support for their allies, able to safely blast foes with aether from afar.

This critical hit range change reverts if you land a critical hit.
