Wizard

Academic wizards are highly trained in all forms of schools of magic and are specialized in the methodology and procedures of spellcasting itself. They analyze the structure of spell formulas in great detail to optimize them and to be able to handle them with greater ease than other mages. Their understanding of these basic concepts allows them to interchange spells in a versatile, almost effortless way. Academic wizards are only trained in the Arcane Tower in the kingdom of Aglarion, where they master their trade for long years before leaving the academy.

Starting at 6th level, you can prepare spells faster than usual. Preparing a new spell takes 1 round per spell level for you instead of the usual 1 minute per spell level.

Starting at 10th level, you attain an optimized form of spellcasting methodology, which makes your spells more powerful. Spells you cast are considered to be one spell slot level higher than their actual spell slot level.

Starting at 14th level, you learn how to apply spells so that their effects are combined. You can apply and stack the same magical effect of a spell to a target one additional time. Once you use this feature, you can't use it until you finish a long rest.

Academy philosophers are great thinkers who do not specialize in any particular spell school, but rather spend their time analyzing the nature of reality and applying that learning to their magic. They usually spend many years studying at venerable schools where philosophers from many different disciplines gather. They enjoy participating in endless debates and dialogues, and they always seek to score points on those who champion rival schools of thought.

Starting at 6th level, you have spent years solving complex mathematical equations, allowing you to shape your spells with precision and create pockets of safety for allies. When you cast a spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you may choose a number of them equal to your Intelligence modifier. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save. Additionally, when you cast a spell that has an area of effect radius, you may choose to increase or decrease the radius by 5 feet.

Starting at 10th level, you gain new insights into the nature of causality. Whenever a creature casts a spell with a single target that you can see, you can use your reaction to choose a new target for the spell. The new target must be legal for that spell. Once you have used this feature, you may not use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Starting at 14th level, you've spent years studying philosophical paradoxes, which allows you to work seemingly impossible feats with magic. Whenever you would lose concentration on a spell for any reason, you may choose to maintain concentration instead, as long as you are not incapacitated. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you regain any expended uses after a long rest.

You are a wizard who focuses on the study of sound, and tries to understand the nature of sound waves and vibrations that are present in all things. Followers of this tradition of Acoustics, often called Acousticians or Sound Sages, often prefer spells that can manipulate sound, and believe that all things have a 'perfect harmony' that they aim to tune themselves to, and that the incorrect vibrations within the heart or soul can lead to imbalance. Many of these wizards are musicians, avid linguists, or public speakers, but can also be found in unique roles within a military, or trying to mold the earth with the power of sound and vibrations.

At 6th level, you have learned how to locate creatures via sound. As a bonus action, you can gain blindsight up to 60 feet by attuning to sounds and vibrations. This effect lasts until the beginning of your next turn, and you cannot use this effect while deafened.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

By 10th level, you have attuned to the might of sonic waves. You gain resistance to thunder damage, and you gain immunity to the deafened condition.

Additionally, you add the silence spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast silence without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you cast the spell centered on you and it moves with you, though you can still cast spells with verbal components while this spell is active. Casting silence in this way shortens the duration of the spell to 1 minute while maintaining concentration.

Once you cast silence in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

At 14th level, you have mastered the art of sound manipulation. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that deals damage, you can remove or amplify the sound the spell makes.

If you remove the sound, the spell is cast silently.

If you amplify the sound, creatures hit by the spell must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes thunder damage equal to your wizard level and is deafened until the end of their next turn, and takes half as much damage on a success. Creatures within 300 feet can hear the spell.

You can use both of these features once per short or long rest.

Wizards who combine traditional spellcasting with advanced alchemical practices and concoctions are called alkemancers. They are a mysterious breed sometimes confused with transmuters, with whom they share a complicated rivalry.

Beginning at 6th level, you can add one of the six fundamental essences to your spells as an additional material component at the cost of 1 gp per spell level. This doesn't increase the casting time of the spell or any of its other effects except as follows.

Beginning at 10th level, you automatically learn the formulas for a number of elixirs, oils, philters, or potions of your choice equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You do not need to spend time or gold researching these formulas.

When brewing an elixir, oil, philter, or potion based on one of the formulas you obtained, you can add exotic alchemical reagents to the mixture at the cost of additional gold equal to half the potion's standard cost. If you do this, the resulting mixture is more powerful than normal: if the potion has an instantaneous effect (such as potions of healing), it automatically has its maximum effect; if the potion has a duration (such as a potion of giant strength), it lasts for twice its normal duration.

Beginning at 14th level, you learn the secret formulas for brewing the fabled Six Elixirs, magical draughts of incredible potency and rarity. Each elixir takes a full year or more to create from exceedingly rare ingredients, but once finished and consumed or otherwise applied, each grants its user a permanent bonus of some sort.

Additionally, once you reach 14th level, you become so skillful at working with dangerous chemicals and reagents that you gain resistance to acid and poison damage and are immune to the poisoned condition.

An angelic scribe studies the angelic seals that harness the power of celestial messengers through their names and shapes that power into magical effects. Beyond the seals and wardings themselves, you learn esoteric spells to call down the essence of the angelic host.

Beginning at 6th level, you can place warding seals to protect areas. This follows the procedure for scribing an angelic seal, but a warding seal must be fashioned on the ground, the floor, or a similarly suitable portion of a structure such as a wall, column, or ceiling. As an action, you can touch the seal to activate it. You must maintain concentration on the effect as if concentrating on a spell.

Once activated, a warding seal creates a spherical "safe space" that extends out to 30 feet around it, large enough to surround a small building or series of rooms of appropriate dimensions (a 22-foot cube, for example, or any space of approximately 11,000 cubic feet). An aberration, fey, fiend, or undead cannot physically cross the boundary, cast spells through it, or project its abilities across the boundary unless it makes a successful Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature that fails the saving throw can try again on its next turn. A creature that makes a sucessful save and moves across the boundary into the protected area isn't affected by the boundary while it remains inside (the boundary impedes only incoming entities and effects, not outgoing ones), but it must contend with the ward again if it leaves the area and tries to reenter.

Starting at 10th level (or 8th level for a cleric), you can use an action to empower one of your active angelic seals or warding seals to greater effect. If you choose an angelic seal, its user typically gains the greater benefit of the seal for 1 minute (unless otherwise noted), replacing the normal benefit during that time. If you choose a warding seal, for the next hour a creature that fails its saving throw against the ward takes 6d6 radiant damage and automatically fails additional saves against the ward during this time.

You can use this ability twice, and you regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

At 14th level (or 17th level for a cleric), you add conjure celestial to your spellbook or your spells known if you don't already know it.

Additionally, you can use a bonus action to infuse your seals with angelic wrath. For 1 minute, you deal an additional 1d8 radiant damage with weapon attacks—and so does anyone within 30 feet of you that is in possession of one of your active seals.

You can't use this ability again until you finish a short or long rest.

There exist a handful of wizards who believe that there exists a fifth element, wood, that stands alongside the traditional elements of fire, air, earth, and water. Known as arbormancers or wood mages, these wizards view wood as embodying warmth, cooperation, and strength, and favor spells that incorporate wood. Many of these wizards study in forests, sometimes working alongside druids or fey.

By 6th level, much like the trees in the forests, you work best when in cooperation with your allies. Whenever you or one or more of your allies within 15 feet of you is subject to an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can use your reaction to grant you or your allies to add your Intelligence modifier to the saving throw.

You can use this ability a number of times per long rest equal to your Intelligence modifier. This range ncreases to 30 feet at 10th level.

At 10th level, you have learned how to summon creatures made of wood and bark to aid you in battle. Over the course of 1 minute, you use several pieces of bark and leaves as the material components to summon either a shambling mound or a wood woad. This summoned creature cooperates with you and your allies with the same rules for conjure elemental. At 14th level, you can use this feature to summon a treant.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

At 14th level, you have a mastery over the element of wood. Whenever you use your Forested Strength feature, you and your allies become covered in a protective layer of bark that provides them with a bonus to their AC equal to your Intelligence modifier until the end of their next turn.

In lands filled with warfare and strife, special wizards known as Arcane Knights rise up to meet the call to battle. Followers of this unique tradition of Arcane Knights focus their studies drawing forth arcane energy to enhance their strength in a special blend of magic called their War Form, that aids them with incredible might and power that can allow them to enter the fray alongside other soldiers and warriors.

Starting at 6th level, while your War Form is active, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

By 10th level, you have become adept at fighting while casting spells. While you maintain concentration on a spell, once per turn, you can add your Intelligence modifier to your weapon's damage rolls.

By 14th level, you have learned how to infuse arcane energy into your War Form. Whenever you first summon forth your War Form, you can choose one of the following effects. Each effect lasts for the duration of your War Form.

Elemental Armor. You infuse your armor with elemental protection. Choose one of the following: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. You gain resistance to that damage type.

Arcane Strikes. You infuse your bonded weapon's strikes with elemental energy. Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can deal an additional 2d8 damage of that damage type to the target.

With the ever advancing field of technology within warfare, some wizards have turned to merging weapons with their magical skills. Known as an Arcane Marksman, a wizard of this tradition can imbue special ranged weapons such as crossbows and firearms with spells to take down their foes, and prefer spells that can give them better mobility and tactical advantages, allowing them to be deadly combatants on the battlefield. Found amongst the ranks of soldiers as elite snipers or mage hunters, an Arcane Marksman is a powerful ally to have in times of war.

At 6th level, you have learned how to improve upon your Arcane Firearm. Over the course of a long rest, using your tinker's tools, you can change your Arcane Firearm to obtain one of the following properties. You can change the property applied to your Arcane Firearm over the course of another long rest.

Arcane Scope: You add a special scope or sight to your weapon. Whenever you cast a ranged spell attack through your Arcane Firearm, you add a +2 to the attack roll if the target of the spell is further than 60 feet away from you.

Arcane Silencer: You add a special device that muffles your weapon. Whenever you cast a ranged spell attack through your Arcane Firearm, the spell makes only a subtle noise, and casting the spell through your Arcane Firearm does not give away your position if you are hidden from a creature.

Arcane Repeater: You add a special mechanism to the body of the weapon that can fire off more shots. Whenever you cast a ranged spell attack through your Arcane Firearm, you can use your bonus action to make a normal ranged weapon attack using the weapon's standard ammunition.

Arcane Barrel/Rest: You add a special mechanism to the body that can hold more ammunition at a time. Whenever you cast a cantrip through your Arcane Firearm that has a single target, you can target one additional creature within the spell's range, and you split the damage between the two targets.

By 10th level, you have further improved your Arcane Firearm. You can now have up two different properties from your Improved Arcane Firearm feature on your Arcane Firearm at a time.

At 14th level, you have learned how to call your shots. As a bonus action, you can choose one target within range of your Arcane Firearm that you can see. Should you hit the target with your next ranged spell attack through your Arcane Firearm, you can deal additional damage of the spell's damage type equal to your wizard level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

Magic is reliable, it is hard to cheat, and is a more convenient tool to safeguard riches or secrets than intelligent guardians or monsters of any kind. Arcane sentinels are abjuration-specialist wizards who focus on magic that wards areas and prevents intrusion. Their spells are more durable, harder to remove, and more deadly when properly placed. Master Bertio Ranberd is the most renowned practitioner of the arcane sentinel school in Aglarion, teaching his secret formulas at his shop and boarding school, the Emporium of Marvelous Rarities.

Starting at 6th level, you can inscribe the glyph of warding spell in an instant and make it more potent. Add the glyph of warding spell to your spellbook. You can cast the glyph of warding spell as an action without using a spell slot and reroll a number of the damage dice equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) when using the spell's explosive runes option. You must use the new rolls. Once you use this feature, you can't use it until you finish a long rest.

Starting at 10th level, your abjuration spells become hard to dispel. An attempt to use the spells counterspell or dispel magic against your 3rd or lower level abjuration spells requires an ability check. All ability checks made to dispel an abjuration spell cast by you have disadvantage.

Starting at 14th level, you can deduct the outcome of a threat directed at you. As a reaction, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to your AC or a saving throw made against a spell.

There are wizards who focus their studies on the celestial bodies above, and how their alignment and positioning can influence the beings who live far below them. Called Astrologists or 'star mages', these wizards can wield the magics of the heavenly bodies, and are often called upon to read horoscopes or provide knowledge related to the celestial heavens, working as either astronomers, soothsayers, or navigators of the night sky.

At 6th level, the light of the stars is yours to command. Whenever you successfully hit a creature with a spell attack roll, or a creature fails a saving throw against a spell you cast, you can use your bonus action to cause the creature to radiate starlight, and the creature is considered to be under the effects of the faerie fire spell until the beginning of your next turn. Once you have used this effect on a creature, that creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

By 10th level, you have gained the ability to imitate the strength of heavenly bodies. When you finish a long rest, you can choose one of the following abilities, which lasts until you finish the next long rest:

Sun's Warmth: You gain resistance to fire damage, and you are immune to the blinded condition.

Moon's Grace: You gain resistance to cold damage, and you are immune to the charmed condition.

Star's Brilliance: You gain resistance to radiant damage, and you are immune to the frightened condition.

Planet's Might: You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage, and you cannot be knocked prone.

At 14th level, you can connect others through your spells like stars connected through a constellation. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that affects a single target and requires a spell attack roll and successfully hit a target, you can choose to direct the same spell at another target within the spell's range, using the first target as the starting point for the spell. Roll another spell attack roll. If the spell successfully hits the second target, you can continue to repeat this process up to a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier. If you manage to hit a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier, you regain a spell slot equal to half the level of the spell slot used, rounded up (minimum 1).

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Pairings of martials and mages are well known in the stories of Eberron. The Tradition of the Augmented Familiar is chosen by those who wish to bring their own muscle into battle. By using magic to enhance their familiar's abilities they are never without a loyal ally and friend.

At 6th level, your familiar's natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance or immunity to non-magical weapons.

At 6th level, your familiar can use a bonus action to transform into a different animal form listed in find familiar.

At 10th level when you cast a wizard cantrip your familiar can cast that cantrip on their next turn. The familiar's spell attack bonus is your proficiency modifier + your intelligence modifier and their spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier. Your familiar casts the cantrip as if a creature of 1st level.

Starting at 14th level, when you cast a spell that requires concentration you can choose to have your familiar concentrate for you if they are within 100 feet of you. When you do so you can not cast another spell that requires concentration without causing your familiar to stop concentrating. Your familiar otherwise follows the normal rules for concentration.

Harnessing the immense majesty of auroras is a feat that none but the most aspirational wizards may be able to accomplish. The lights that brighten the skies are renowned for their storied and mystical effects and origins, yet are vexing to behold or understand for most mages, largely resulting from their paradoxically arcane and divine nature.

Those that practice auroracraft bend auroral light into protective magic for themselves and their allies, while simultaneously manipulating the essence of spells to best suit their needs. Even one's position in space yields to the mysterious forces that shape the brilliant and prismatic illuminations which these wizards hope to master.

At 6th level, your spells emulate the ever-shifting patterns of the auroras. When you cast a spell and the spell deals cold, fire, lightning, psychic, or radiant damage, you can substitute that damage type with one other type from that list.

At 10th level, the fundamental nature that forms the auroras gives you greater understanding of your abilities and surrounding space. When you use your Wondrous Veil feature, you can cause one of the following effects:

Upon reaching 14th level, when you use your Wondrous Veil feature, you now create a 10-foot tall intangible curtain of light in an area you choose within 120 feet, which lasts until the end of your next turn. The area of the curtain consists of up to a number of spaces equal to your wizard level, which you can arrange as you wish. Each space must have at least one face adjacent to the face of another.

The curtain sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. When you or an allied creature starts its turn in an area of bright light created by this effect, they gain one of the following effects, depending on the effect of your Wondrous Veil feature, detailed below:

Those who think charm and misdirection are the trades of the bard and warlock never heard of the arcane colleges specializing in Beguiling magic. The tradition blends enchantment and illusion magic, rather than specializing in either of those schools.

Followers of this tradition are known as beguilers and believe a brilliant mind beats a charming personality. They see magic as a way to persuade, deceive, entertain, and hide and believe fooling the mind is magic's most potent use. Beguilers are suave and adept spies, equipped to infiltrate any organization or compound without detection or with minimal casualties.

Starting at 6th level, you know how to strike subtly with a spell and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal extra damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) to one creature you hit with a spell attack from a wizard cantrip if you have advantage on the attack roll.

You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll or your target has made a saving throw against one of your enchantment or illusion spells since the beginning of your last turn.

The amount of the extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to double your Intelligence modifier at 11th level, and triple your Intelligence modifier at 17th level.

Starting at 10th level, if you are hidden from a creature when you cast an enchantment or illusion spell that affects it, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the spell for its duration.

Beginning at 14th level, you are immune to the charmed condition.

In addition, when you are concentrating on an enchantment or illusion spell that affects one creature and that creature dies or falls unconscious, you can use your reaction to target a new creature with the spell for the remainder of its duration, until you lose concentration, or become incapacitated by any means. If the spell requires the target to make saving throw, the new target attempts the saving throw before the spell's conditions take effect.

Bladesingers master a tradition of wizardry that incorporates swordplay and dance. Originally created by elves, this tradition has been adopted by non-elf practitioners, who honor and expand on the elven ways.

In combat, a bladesinger uses a series of intricate, elegant maneuvers that fend off harm and allow the bladesinger to channel magic into devastating attacks and a cunning defense. Many who have observed a bladesinger at work remember the display as one of the more beautiful experiences in their life, a glorious dance accompanied by a singing blade.

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of those attacks.

Beginning at 10th level, you can direct your magic to absorb damage while your bladesong is active. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to expend one spell slot and reduce that damage to you by an amount equal to five times the spell's slot level.

Starting at 14th level, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to the damage of your melee weapon attacks while your Bladesong is active.

Blood can be a dark and forbidden source of magical energy for those willing to makes the necessary sacrifices.

A blood mage of 6th level or higher can see a moment of the past through the eyes of a creature by consuming its blood. Upon ingesting a small amount of the blood of another creature, the wizard becomes stunned. While stunned, he or she experiences one of the creature's memories through its own eyes. (The memory may or may not be about the incident that caused it to bleed.)

Once a blood mage has consumed a creature's blood for this Purpose, the creature is immune to further uses of this ability.

A blood mage of 10th level or higher can absorb a poison or a disease from another creature, living or dead, and turn it to his or her use. By exposing a fresh wound to a source of disease or poison, the wizard can safely absorb it and store it, dormant, in his or her bloodstream. The blood mage can then inflict the disease or poison on another creature by spitting a stream of blood at it. As an action, the wizard makes a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target is exposed to the disease or poison and must proceed with any saving throws required.

If the wizard does not pass the disease or poison along to another living creature within three days, it becomes active in the body, and the wizard must make the first two saving throws required by the disease or poison with disadvantage.

A blood mage of 14th level or higher can turn another creature's blood into sludge, hampering the creature, or can thin it out, giving the creature extra mobility. As an action, the wizard can cause a Touched creature that fails a Constitution saving throw to become affected as if by a slow spell—or, alternatively, to gain the effect of a haste spell. The duration of either effect is a number of rounds equal to the blood mage's Intelligence modifier. The target of the haste effect can intentionally fail the saving throw.

The blood mage can use this ability once, regaining the use of it upon finishing a long rest.

Considered taboo by many societies and magic practitioners, the use of blood magic—also known as hemocraft—is a rare art that harnesses the latent powers of a creature's vitality to fuel and amplify the caster's own capabilities, while manipulating and weakening the bodies of enemies from the inside. Some of the more macabre mages seeking to empower their arcane pursuits turn to hemocraft as a means of bolstering their spells, giving their own life's blood to reach new heights of frightening magical prowess.

The secrets of hemocraft and other forms of blood magic were once the sole purview of the mysterious Claret Orders. In recent years, however, these secrets have begun to spread beyond the order's members and into the hands of less scrupulous mages. Blood magic has a bad reputation in Tal'Dorei, even though its powers can be used for much more than evil.

At 6th level, when a creature you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to bind your vitality to the attacker and force them to share your pain. The attacker takes damage equal to the damage you took.

This feature cannot be used against constructs or undead. You can use this feature once. You must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Starting at 10th level, when you damage a creature with a spell, you can choose to curse that creature for 1 minute. While cursed in this way, whenever the creature is hit by an attack, it takes an extra 1d6 necrotic damage. At the end of each of the creature's turns, it can make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, ending the curse on a success.

This feature cannot be used against creatures that are undead or constructs. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 14th level, you can use this feature twice between rests.

Upon reaching 14th level, the blood that flows through your veins is empowered with arcane vigor that mends wounds and helps preserve your life. Whenever a spell or magical effect causes you to regain hit points, you regain an additional number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

In addition, while you are concentrating on a spell, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

A blood mage powers his magic with the secrets he learns from his own blood. Eventually, he learns to manipulate others' blood, too. A blood mage has the following class features.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to see a moment of the past through the eyes of a creature whose blood you consume. When you ingest the blood of another creature, you are stunned for 1 round. During that time, you experience a memory of the creature through its own eyes which may or may not be of the incident that caused it to bleed. The older the blood, the foggier and more obscure the memory is likely to be.

Once you have consumed a creature's blood in this way, the same creature's blood will never again produce a memory for you.

Starting at 10th level, you can absorb poisons or diseases from another creature, living or dead, and turn it to your use. By exposing a fresh cut to a source of disease or poison, you can safely absorb it, storing it in your bloodstream, dormant. You can then inflict it on another by spitting a stream of blood at them. As an action, make a ranged spell attack. On a successful hit the target is exposed to the disease or poison and must proceed with whatever saving throws are required.

In three days, if you do not pass the disease or poison along to another living creature, it becomes active in your bloodstream. You make the first two saving throws required by the disease or poison with disadvantage.

At 14th level, a blood mage can turn other creatures' blood into sludge or he can thin it once per day. As an action, he can cause a creature that fails a Constitution saving throw to become slowed. Alternately, he can cause a creature that fails a Constitution saving throw to gain the effects of haste. The target can intentionally fail the saving throw. The duration of either effect is a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier.

The incredibly rare tradition known as Blue Magic requires a deep understanding of the arcane arts, to the point of being able to understand the mechanics behind a spell within moments of witnessing its casting. 'Blue Mages', as followers of this tradition are called, acquire abilities that allow them to learn and prepare spells from nearly any source, and their versatility in power and skill makes them deadly soldiers, efficient guards, and incredible allies.

At 6th level, your ability to acquire spells has improved. You can now use your Copy Spell feature a number of times per long rest equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you retain knowledge of any spell acquired via this feature until you complete a long rest.

By 10th level, you have become a master of learning spells unconventionally. Whenever you use your Copy Spell feature, you can choose to learn the spell permanently. The spell is considered a wizard spell for you, though you can only add it to your spellbook if it is a wizard spell. Otherwise, you learn the spell as if it were a wizard spell you always have prepared, and you can cast it provided that you have available spell slots with which to cast it.

You can learn up to four spells in this manner. If you attempt to use this feature again to learn a fifth spell, your oldest learned spell is forgotten by you.

At 14th level, you have learned how to steal a spell away from its caster. Whenever a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see begins to cast a spell, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make an Intelligence saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature loses control over the spell, and the spell slot is expended as if it had been cast by them. You can then immediately cast the spell by using the spell slot the original caster had expended to cast it.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

It's easy to dismiss the humble cantrip as nothing more than an unsophisticated spell practiced by hedge wizards that proper mages need not focus on. But clever and cautious wizards sometimes specialize in such spells because while other mages fret when they're depleted of arcane resources, Cantrip Adepts hardly even notice ... and at their command, the cantrips are not so humble.

Starting at 6th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any wizard cantrip you can cast.

Starting at 10th level, if you cast a cantrip that doesn't deal damage or a cantrip that has an effect in addition to damage, such as the speed reduction of the ray of frost spell, that cantrip or effect has twice the normal duration.

Starting at 14th level, once per turn, when you cast a wizard cantrip that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

The esoteric tradition of Cartomancy is an approach to magic where followers utilize elements of the existing schools of magic in order to produce unique effects of fortune and trickery. Spells associated with Cartomancy are all cast via the use of playing cards, and often take on the appearance of cards or card suits.

Followers of this tradition, known as 'card mages', can divine fate through cards and create unique effects by imbuing cards with magic, though the magic can be beneficial or dangerous, making card mages gamble with the fate of the cards.

At 6th level, you learn how to read the future via cartomancy. Over the course of 1 minute, you can read a creature's fortune using a set of playing cards. At the end of the minute, you draw a card, either at random from a deck of playing cards or by rolling a d12, and the creature is affected by a fortune based on the card's rank for the next hour, as seen on the Fortune Telling table.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 10th level, you can redraw your hand. Whenever you use your Cardcasting feature, as part of the same bonus action used to draw cards, you can reshuffle the cards drawn back into your deck, or reroll on the Card Rank and Card Suit tables. You must use cards from the new hand of cards drawn.

Additionally, when you use your Cardcasting feature, you can choose up to two of the cards drawn to take effect at once, and when you use your Cardreader feature, you can draw two cards or roll twice, choosing which card takes effect.

By 14th level, you have become attuned to card magic. Once per long rest, as an action, you can draw five cards from your deck of cards, or roll five times on both the Card Rank and Card Suit tables, as listed in your Cardcasting feature. When you do so, you can choose any number of the cards drawn to immediately take effect.

Wizards who specialize in chaos magic crave an understanding of probability and life's unpredictable outcomes to the point of obsession. What starts as an attempt to analyze the patterns of chaos quickly becomes a trip down the rabbit hole to madness.

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that causes damage, you can infuse the spell with greater power by channeling chaos through yourself. You make this choice after determining whether the spell has been successful (i.e., after making a spell attack roll) but before determining damage. If you invoke twisted arcana, roll 1d6 + 1; this is the maximum number of your spell's damage dice you can reroll. You can reroll any number of damage dice up to that maximum, and you must use the rerolled results.

In addition, the type of damage your spell causes is replaced randomly. Use the Damage Type table to determine the spell's new damage type.

Using this ability causes a chaos magic surge. You must finish a long rest before you can use this ability again.

Beginning at 10th level, when you cast a chaos magic spell, you gain resistance to a random damage type for a number of rounds equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). You can choose to cause a chaos magic surge as part of your casting; if you do, roll twice on the Damage Type table and choose the type you prefer, then determine the effect (if any) of the chaos magic surge. You must finish a long rest before you can use this ability again.

Starting at 14th level, anytime you cause a chaos magic surge, you regain one use of long odds, twisted arcana, or shifting resistance without taking a long rest. In addition, every time you cast a chaos spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + the spell's level.

For centuries, the game of chess has captivated the minds of players. A favorite game of wizards, a few have learned how to use chess as the basis for magical abilities. Known as chessmasters, these wizards view the battlefield as a chess board, wielding magic and wit to position the field to their advantage. Often found as commanders and military strategists, Chessmasters are powerful allies, favoring spells that can control movement and the flow of battle.

At 6th level, you have learned how to magically assist your allies by replicating the abilities of chess pieces. You can use your bonus action (or reaction for Protect the King) to activate one of the following effects. Each effect has a range of 30 feet, increasing to 60 feet at 14th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and regain all uses once you finish a long rest. You can only have one effect active at a time.

At 10th level, your experience with chess and tactics has allowed you to recognize patterns your opponents make. Whenever you use your Tactical Magic feature on an unwilling creature, you can attempt to deduce its next course of action. Make a Wisdom (Insight) check, contested by the creature's choice of their Charisma (Deception) or Wisdom (Insight). If you succeed, you gain a +3 bonus to your AC and saving throws against effects that creature imposes on you until the start of your next turn.

By 14th level, you have mastered the humiliating finishing move. As an action, you can see every possibility, identify the key target, and finalize their defeat. Choose a creature within 120 feet of you. That creature must make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC to decipher your foolproof plan. On a failure, the target automatically fails the next saving throw you force them to make before the end of your next turn.

Once a creature fails this saving throw, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Focusing on the manipulation of time, those who follow the Chronurgy tradition learn to alter the pace of reality to their liking. Using the ramping of anticipatory dunamis energy, these mages can bend the flow of time as adroitly as a skilled musician plays an instrument, lending themselves and their allies an advantage in the blink of an eye.

Note: This subclass has access to Dunamancy Spells.

6th-level Chronurgy Magic feature

As an action, you can magically force a Large or smaller creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Unless the saving throw is a success, the creature is encased in a field of magical energy until the end of your next turn or until the creature takes any damage. While encased in this way, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

10th-level Chronurgy Magic feature

When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 4th level or lower, you can condense the spell's magic into a mote. The spell is frozen in time at the moment of casting and held within a gray bead for 1 hour. This bead is a Tiny object with AC 15 and 1 hit point, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage. When the duration ends, or if the bead is destroyed, it vanishes in a flash of light, and the spell is lost.

A creature holding the bead can use its action to release the spell within, whereupon the bead disappears. The spell uses your spell attack bonus and save DC, and the spell treats the creature who released it as the caster for all other purposes.

Once you create a bead with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

14th-level Chronurgy Magic feature

You can peer through possible futures and magically pull one of them into events around you, ensuring a particular outcome. When you or a creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to ignore the die roll and decide whether the number rolled is the minimum needed to succeed or one less than that number (your choice).

When you use this feature, you gain one level of exhaustion. Only by finishing a long rest can you remove a level of exhaustion gained in this way.

The arcane tradition of Clocksmithing revolves around the understanding, creation, and application of constructs and robotics. Known as 'clocksmiths', these wizards develop techniques to better understand mechanical creations and their purpose. As you progress, you learn how to conjure forth and interact with constructs and spells cast through mechanical devices.

By 6th level, whenever you expend a spell slot to cast a spell of 1st level or higher whenever you are within 30 feet of your constructed companion, your constructed companion regains hit points equal to half your wizard level (rounded down).

At 10th level, you and your companion have learned how to work even closer together. When your constructed companion is within 5 feet of a hostile creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you.

By 14th level, you have further improved your constructed companion. Over the course of a short rest, you can transform your constructed companion into a size Large creature. When you do so, it adds your proficiency bonus to its weapon damage rolls. Over the course of a short rest, if your constructed companion is a size Large creature, you can transform it back into a size Medium creature.

In addition, you may now merge yourself into the body of your companion. While your constructed companion is within 5 feet of you, you can use a bonus action to cause your companion's body to expand and merge around you. This change lasts for 1 minute.

While in this merged state, you gain the following benefits:

When your constructed companion is reduced to 0 hit points, you are ejected to the nearest unoccupied space within 5 feet of your companion and are knocked prone.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

The school of clockwork magic is a blending of technology and magic not often seen. While some would argue that all spells of this so-called school are simply applications of the more traditionally acknowledged branches of arcane magic, the clockwork mages understand that there is qualitative difference in thought between casting, say, a clockwork (evocation) spell and an ordinary evocation. The school thrives alongside industry, using a small number of spells, compared to the older schools, to create a wide range of styles. Fool is he who fails to notice arcane glyphs and wands and mistakes a clockwork mage for a common gear grinder or tinkerer.

Clockwork mages who use the spell find familiar (or others who gain access to the spell and chose to use it) substitute the material components for a small clockwork device in the form of an animal similar to those listed in the text of the spell. When the ritual is completed, magical animating force gives life to the device. The delicacy of the clockwork makes up for any superior durability of the materials. It has the statistics of the chosen form but is a construct instead of a beast. Unlike a normal familiar, the devices' form cannot be changed without investing in the material components to rebuild it. The familiar is never counted when determining the number of constructs a mage can control.

When you reach 6th level, you gain the ability to reshape metal with a touch. When you grasp a piece of metal of Small size or smaller, you can alter its form into any shape that suits your purpose. The item must be in your hands and under your control; you can't, for example, reshape a piece of armor or a weapon that's being worn or wielded by someone else. To create a specific object, such as a key or mechanical component, you must be completely familiar with it. Thus you could replicate a key that you had in your possession for an extended period of time, but you could not create a working key based on seeing the lock alone.

Objects you create can have up to two hinges and a latch, but finer mechanical detail is not possible. This effect can be used to repair metal as per the spell. You may use this feature once before completing a long or short rest.

Beginning at 10th level, you can transform yourself as an action into a living construct for up to 1 minute per level. You retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma and the ability to speak and cast spells. You can transform into a golem or clockwork creature whose CR is less than or equal to your current level in this class. Otherwise, this ability functions as the druid's Wild Shape ability.

Starting at 14th level, you can use magic to bring constructs under your control. As an action, you can compel one creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make an Intelligence saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. This is a magical effect. If the saving throw fails, the construct becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands for 1 hour, until you use this ability again, or until it takes damage from you or one of your allies. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the duration is extended to 6 hours or until one of the other conditions is fulfilled. When the effect ends, the construct is aware it was controlled by you.

In the traditions of many worlds, there is a belief in an early, primeval, state of the world, a belief that beings from this long ago can be harnessed, bargained with, or exploited by powerful spellcasters with varying degrees of success... and often tragic results. To this day some raider wizards still seek out the primal path, believing it alone might hold the secret to preventing what befell the Lost Lands from afflicting Grimnir. These are known as dreamers.

There are other wizards that have drawn a boundary between what is to be known and what must be forgotten. These seekers search the world, destroying ancient tomes and desecrating powerful artifacts and killing those that hold onto such powers.

Among every clan there might be wizards of both persuasions, though dreamers often hide their true nature. Not that it matters, for most raiders dislike any and all wizards, due to their association with the magic of Mirgal. Owing to this, most raider wizards are isolated and surly. Outside of the training of their apprentices, wizards only meet their peers at the octennial gathering of the clans. Otherwise they seldom interact, except to battle one another. Most aggressively hunt for new magic and arcane advantage, the way other raiders raid for treasure.

Those that study the primal have a way of seeing the connections between the past and the future, or between individuals. These connections are imagined as knotted cords and with experience, a primal wizard can see and understand many such connections and use this knowledge to further their own actions. At 6th level, you become able to influence the future, based on your understanding of the past.

Dreamer. Having some awareness of the future, you ensure you are always well prepared. If you spend 1 minute, you may cast any spell that targets only yourself, but save its activation for later. After having used this foresaying ability, you may activate that spell at any time, as a reaction. You may only activate a foresaying ability once per long rest and you may only have one such spell active at a time.

Seeker. You remove an enemy's power in the present by having them forget something important from their past. After hitting an opponent with a ranged or melee attack, you may use your bonus action to remove a prepared spell from their list. If they have cast a particular spell on a previous turn, you may pick that spell to be removed. Otherwise the spell removed is selected at random:

At 10th level, your knowledge of the knotted cords has increased, better preparing you to weather the hazards of Grimnir.

Dreamer. You are now able to use your foresaying ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest. Additionally, when you use your reaction to activate this feature, roll a 1d4. A result of 4 means that the foresaying spell is still active and can be used again as a reaction on another turn.

Seeker. You may elect to neutralize a spell. When you or an ally within 10 feet are hit by a single target spell you may use a reaction and spend a spell slot of equal (or higher level) to the hostile spell. Doing so, negates all damage and effects from that spell. You must make the decision to use this ability after any saving throws are rolled but before damage is rolled or the results of the saving throw rolls are made.

By 14th level, both dreamers and seekers have gained tremendous expertise that serves them well, especially in trials of arcane combat.

Dreamer. You have become very proficient at working your way through the fate cords affecting you. If your concentration is about to be broken, you may use a reaction to prevent this. To do so you may immediately cast another spell that requires concentration (using your reaction). You must have a spell available to cast. If so, you are now maintaining both spells. Subsequent concentration checks are made with disadvantage. You may only use this ability once per long rest.

Seeker. You have refined your abilities to prevent rival spellcasters from unleashing deadly magic on the battlefield. When you damage a target with a spell, you can use a bonus action to afflict the target with a spellcurse. If so, the target is not aware of this curse, but the next time they attempt to cast any spell (including innate spellcasting) they must make a Constitution save against your spell save DC. If they fail the check, the spell fails, and they lose the ability to cast that particular spell for the remainder of the day. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier and you regain expended uses after a long rest.

At 6th level, you become able to influence the future, based on your understanding of the past.

At 10th level, your knowledge of the knotted cords has increased, better preparing you to weather the hazards of Grimnir.

By 14th level, both dreamers and seekers have gained tremendous expertise that serves them well, especially in trials of arcane combat.

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy any wizard spell of 3rd level or lower into your spellbook is halved.

Also when you choose this school at 2nd level, choose one class to minor in from among Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Warlock.

If you choose Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, or Warlock, you immediately learn two cantrips and one spell of first level or higher from the chosen class' spell list, which are considered wizard spells for you, and you can cast and copy spells from spell scrolls belonging to the chosen class as if they were wizard spells. Spells added by your Minor Focus can not be the target of your Spell Mastery feature at 18th level.

Otherwise, you gain one other feature depending on your chosen minor class as shown on the Minor Table below and, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action on your turn:

6th-level Community College Wizard feature

By 6th level, you have become well-accustomed to accomplishing a week's worth of research in a single day's time. At the end of a short rest, you can replace up to one of your prepared spells with another spell you know.

Additionally, when you use your Arcane Recovery feature at the end of a short rest, the spell slots you regain can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half of your wizard level +2 (rounded down), to a maximum of 5th level.

10th-level Community College Wizard feature

At 10th level, you are an expert at learning from the experiences of others—or just copying their notes. If you spend an hour studying the actions of another creature, you become proficient in two skills or tools that creature is proficient in. If that creature has at least one class level, you can instead choose to gain the minor focus corresponding to one of that creature's classes of your choice.

You can only gain the benefits of one Adjunct Lesson at a time, losing any proficencies, spells, or features from your oldest lesson as soon as you gain a new one. Similarly, if you do not observe a creature for at least 10 minutes before the end of each 24 hour period, you lose the benefits of its lesson.

14th-level Community College Wizard feature

At 14th level, you complete your introductory studies in wizarding, gaining a cursory knowledge of every field of arcane study. You gain the 2nd level arcane tradition features of two of the following colleges: abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. When you finish a long rest, you can choose to replace the 2nd level features of one of these colleges with another college of your choice.

In addition, you receive an enchanted diploma in 1d10 days which grants you access and some degree of esteem in most libraries, scriptoriums, and universities.

Followers of the tradition of Concealment are wizards who specialize in not being seen, practicing magic in secret places and focusing on hiding their spellcasting from others. These wizards, often called 'stealth mages' or 'silent sages', combine elements of illusion and transmutation magic with a skill set of stealth and maneuverability, and often work as spies, assassins, or undercover operatives.

At 6th level, you've become more agile, and you've developed a knack of casting spells while moving. Once on each of your turns, when you cast a spell with a casting time of one action, you can use your bonus action to take the Disengage or Hide action.

By 10th level, your skills with concealing your presence while casting spells have increased. Casting a spell while hidden doesn't reveal your position.

Additionally, whenever you cast a spell with a casting time of one action while hidden, as part of the casting of the spell, you can cause the spell to appear invisible. If the spell requires an attack roll, you gain advantage on the roll. If the spell requires a target to make a saving throw, the target makes the saving throw at disadvantage.

At 14th level, you gain the ability to know when you have been detected. You automatically know when you have been detected, either through a creature's senses or through the use of magic, though you don't necessarily know which.

A tradition more focused on stalking prey than reading dozens of books, courser mages generally choose more subtle spells that aid in finding or hiding from their enemies. They learn to imbue their arrows with spell energy to deliver more deadly shots.

Beginning at 6th level, you can imbue an arrow you fire from a longbow or shortbow with magical energy. As a bonus action, you can expend a 1st-level spell slot to cause the next arrow you fire to magically deal an extra 2d4 force damage to the target on a hit. If you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st.

At 10th level, when you hit a creature with an arrow imbued by your Spell Arrow feature, your next ranged weapon attack against that creature has advantage.

Starting at 14th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action with a longbow or shortbow on your turn. If you use your Spell Arrow feature, you can imbue both arrows with arcane power by expending one spell slot. If you imbue two arrows with this feature, you can't cast spells other than cantrips until the end of your next turn.

You are a wizard who focuses their study on the magical properties of ice. Known as 'frost mages' or 'ice-benders', these wizards learn how to manipulate ice in ways that other wizards cannot. Many of these wizards begin their studies in taigas and frozen planes, developing their mastery of ice.

At 6th level, you have learned how to wield frost and ice in different ways. When you cast a spell with a spell slot, you can expend one additional spell slot to augment its effects for the casting with the power of ice. The effect depends on the spell slot you expend.

An additional 1st-level spell slot can infuse a spell with the power of the ice. If you roll damage for the spell when you cast it and the spell deals cold damage, increase the damage against every target by 2d12 cold damage. If the spell can deal damage on more than one turn, it deals this extra cold damage only on the turn you cast the spell.

An additional 2nd-level spell slot can increase the strength of the spell. If the spell you cast deals cold damage, the cold damage ignores resistance to cold damage and treats immunity to cold damage as resistance.

An additional 3rd-level spell slot can increase the effectiveness of the spell. If the spell you cast deals cold damage and requires a spell attack roll, you have advantage on the spell attack roll. If the spell requires a target to make a saving throw, the target makes the saving throw against the spell at disadvantage.

By 10th level, you have acclimated to frost. You have advantage on saving throws against spells or creature abilities that deal cold damage, and you ignore difficult terrain caused by snow or ice.

Additionally, your movement speed cannot be reduced as a result of taking cold damage.

At 14th level, you have mastered the power of ice. You add the investiture of ice spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast investiture of ice without expending a spell slot. When you do so, the spell does not require concentration.

Once you cast investiture of ice in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

They told you to put down the Codex Anathema. They feared that you would plumb its depths too greedily, too deep. They were right to fear you.

The infamous Codex Anathema is the single greatest source of Alienists in Eberron. Originally written as a book of lore by a mad Dhakaani scholar, its dangerous pages have been replicated and passed down for millennia. At one point, there were twelve complete copies of the Codex Anathema, but the books were lost, destroyed, or broken apart in the intervening timeframe. The last scholar to find a complete copy of the book was Mordain d'Phiarlan, who mastered its secrets. Any formal arcane institution might hold a secret Cult of the Alienist, its adepts of the Codex hiding in the wings, seeking to recruit young minds that are easy to corrupt and mold into the next generation of Alienists.

A dwarf of the Mror Holds might also have sought—and found—the twisted knowledge of Dyrrn the Conqueror in the Realm Below. Beyond that, an Alienist wizard might be any scholar that delved too far into the secrets of Xoriat or had a chance encounter with the fleshwarping daelkyr.

Starting at 6th level, your body begins to excrete a thin, nearly transparent layer of mucus. You have advantage on checks and saving throws against being grappled or restrained. In addition, this slime is psionically active, and any creature who attempts to grapple or restrain you must make a Wisdom save or be charmed or frightened of you (your choice) for 1 minute, or until it takes damage.

Beginning at 10th level, your body becomes more reliant on its symbiotic companion. As long as your personal symbiont is attached to you, you have advantage on all saving throws against magic.

At 14th level, you can summon a creature from beyond common understanding. You add the conjure aberrations spell to your spellbook. This is a wizard spell for you. Only Alienists are capable of understanding the mad scrawlings that make up this spell, and a wizard from any other school would be unable to decipher and copy it into their spellbook.

You focus on magic that draws and harnesses energy from the living; whether that might be yourself, or someone else. You use these energies to power your spells beyond what they could typically manage. To use this kind of magic without an external energy source will deplete your own life energy faster than before, but by using arcane sacrificial techniques, you can also replenish your health as you grow stronger by taking it from others as well.

Such wizards are often feared due to the wicked reputation such a focus garners them, but not all who follow this path are evil; some prefer to only draw energy from themselves or from willing volunteers. There are times when it is tactically advantageous to surrender a small degree of lifeforce to a wizard of this kind in exchange for a more potent spell, and those who travel with such wizards know it. Due to their tendency to draw power via cuts, they are known by most who see them at work as 'dagger wizards'.

At 6th level, you are able to siphon back the power you lost through sacrifice, willing or otherwise. As a bonus action, you can make a single melee attack with a weapon you are proficient with using your spellcasting modifier to hit and deal damage. You regain half the damage dealt as health.

You are able to perform this act a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier, and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

At 10th level, you are able to regain magical power by sacrificing your life energy. As a bonus action, you can sacrifice hit points in exchange for spell slots up to level 3. The amount of hit points sacrificed is equal to the level of the spell times 3.

At 14th level, once per turn when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using a spell of 1st level or higher, you regain hit points equal to the level of the spell times 5.

Wizards who follow the tradition of dimensionalism focus on portals, rifts, and teleportation, favoring spells that increase their mobility and teleporting prowess. Known as 'portaliers' or 'rift mages', these wizards learn spells of teleportation and can eventually trap others within portals that seemingly never end. Many followers of dimensionalism are avid travelers to other planes, and are often nomadic.

At 6th level, you know how to move you or your allies in the blink of an eye when in danger. When either you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you take damage, you can use your reaction to cause either yourself or your ally to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

Once you use this feature on a creature, you can't use it again until your finish a short or long rest.

By 10th level, you have become adept at teleporting far distances. As an action, you and a number of willing creatures of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you teleport up to 1 mile to a spot you can see. If there isn't an open space for all the targets to occupy at the arrival point, this ability fails and is wasted.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

By 14th level, you know how to trap your enemy within a series of rifts and portals. As an action, choose a creature that you can see. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or be pulled into a portal that transports the target into another plane. The creature disappears and hurtles through another plane.

At the beginning of your next turn, the target returns to an unoccupied space of your choice within 60 feet of you and immediately must make another Wisdom saving throw or be pulled back into another portal. This effect continues for 1 minute or until the target succeeds on a saving throw against this ability.

Once you have successfully used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The magic you seek is as powerful as it is destructive.

Starting at 6th level, whenever you score a critical hit with a spell attack, choose one of the following two effects:

Starting at 10th level, you have advantage when making spell attack rolls against creatures that are frightened or poisoned.

Beginning at 14th level, your spell attacks score critical hits when the attack roll is a natural 19 or 20.

The incredibly rare tradition known as Doomsaying involves the art of seeing into the future to witness the ending of one's self, others, or a kingdom itself. Wizards who follow this tradition are known as doomsayers, and are those who dared to expose themselves to the dreaded knowledge of divining the future to wield the magic of final moments. Some wizards who practice this tradition witness the end and see it as a way of knowing how much time is left to make a difference in the world, while others see it as a true source of power as they know how and when their enemies will crumble into dust.

At 6th level, you can call upon the fearful presence of doom to your enemies. Once per turn, whenever a creature fails a saving throw against a spell that you cast of 1st level or higher, that creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Once the effect ends, or if the creature succeeds on its initial saving throw against this effect, you can't use this feature on that creature again until you finish a long rest.

At 10th level, you have learned how to bring forth the destructive power of your spells. Your spell attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.

By 14th level, the dread of doom will come, even if you are not there to see it. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, any active spell that you had cast before you were reduced to 0 hit points that has a duration longer than Instantaneous continues as if you are still concentrating on the spell.

Wizards that devote their studies to the ancient and formidable power of dragons are called Dracomages. By channeling their spellcasting to fuel draconic abilities, Dracomages emulate and harness the power of dragons with a fury that few can withstand. With an air of both reverence and ambition, Dracomages strive to embody the power and majesty of these mythical beings, all while carving out their own legend in the annals of magic.

At 6th level, the power of your draconic breath can create a secondary effect based on the breath's damage type. You can choose the breath's damage type after rolling the dragon dice.

Starting at 10th level, when you're subjected to an effect that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison and allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

By 14th level, you can use a bonus action to conjure forth the visage of a Large dragon, which is obviously illusory. The dragon lasts for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). It also ends early if it's ever more than 120 feet away from you. The illusion appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you.

When you summon the dragon, and again as a bonus action on each of your turns, you can move it up to 30 feet and command it to use one of the following options. Each option requires you to expend a number of dragon dice, as specified below.

The dragon uses your spell save DC and spell attack bonus for these options. When you move the dragon, you can move it up to an additional 30 feet by expending 1 dragon die.

Whenever you expend 1 or more dragon dice to command or move the dragon, the dragon also exudes an instantaneous aura of bravery: each friendly creature within 15 feet of the dragon when you expend the dragon dice has advantage on saving throws against being frightened until the start of your next turn.

Wizards practice the subtle magic of pulling power from thin air and shaping it to fit their needs. Sorcerers tame the chaotic power within themselves, releasing it in barely controlled gouts of magical eruptions. Wizards who walk the path between these two diverse means of using magic are called dragon mages, and they meld the order of wizardry with the chaos of elemental mastery to grant themselves special powers.

Starting at 6th level, you can invoke a magic Dragon heart. You use a bonus action and expend a spell slot to invoke the heart, which lasts for 3 rounds for each level of the expended spell slot. The Dragon heart remains as long as you are not Incapacitated, until you use a bonus action to dismiss or replace it, or until the duration expires. The heart is a translucent magical force, in the form of a beating heart, which covers your chest. Your body is still visible through the heart.

While you wear your Dragon heart, you receive the following benefits:

Starting at 10th level, you can invoke a set of magical Dragon wings. You use a bonus action and spend a spell slot to invoke the Dragon wings, which last for 2 rounds per level of the spent spell slot. The Dragon wings remain as long as you are not Incapacitated, until the duration ends, or until they are dismissed or replaced by using a bonus action.

While you wear your Dragon wings, you receive the following benefits:

Starting at 14th level, you can invoke a magic Dragon tail. You use a bonus action and expend a spell slot to invoke the tail, which lasts for 1 round per level of the spent spell slot. The Dragon tail remains as long as you are not Incapacitated, until you use a bonus action to dismiss or replace it, or until the duration expires. The Dragon tail is a translucent magical force, in the form of a 15-foot-long appendage capable of striking with great impact.

While you wear your Dragon tail, you receive the following benefits.

The sleeping mind stares out into an endless vista, stitching together the thoughts and actions of the day into dreams. Yet, in a world of magic, especially to a practitioner of the arcane arts, dreams hold far greater revelations. By mapping one's own mental landscape, new insights into reality can be found and harnessed. Many of these wizards often draw the attentions of the Keeper of the Depths, who may greet them by offering bargains both simple and terrible. Few have the liberty of continuing their pursuits without attracting its attention, as the ripples of magic across the dreamscape are particularly attractive to this ancient nightmare. You've chosen to begin to map your own dreams by pursuing this tradition, seeking insight into the lands beyond the veil of sleep.

Starting at 6th level, you learn to drag others with you into your dreams. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher while you have access to your dreamscape spellbook you can use your bonus action to enter a harmless dreamscape until the end of your next turn, reappearing at a location of your choosing within 30 feet of the point of your departure. You can touch a creature when you enter, bringing them with you. Neither of you can use actions or take damage while in this dreamscape. If you cannot reappear at the point you chose, you are shunted to the nearest open location and take 10 force damage.

At 10th level, your dreams come to you even in your waking moments. You can now access your dreamscape spellbook while you are in either dim light or darkness.

Additionally, you can choose to cast spells as though you were located at any point that you can see within 15 feet of your current location, provided that location is within dim light or darkness.

At 14th level, you have encountered the dreams of a powerful entity and have learned the secrets of the universe from its ancient mind. This could be the Keeper of the Depths or another eldritch being that defies comprehension. Regardless of its nature, it offers you power over your dreams in exchange for the sacrifice of blood.

When you cast a spell of 6th level or higher using a spell slot, you can choose to recover all expended uses of your Upon the Veil of Night feature. When you do this, target one humanoid creature within 60 feet of you that you can see. If there are no other targets available, you must target yourself. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. If they fail, they take 8d10 psychic damage as the eldritch entity feasts upon their mind. If they are slain by this damage, their body is consumed and they vanish into the dreamscape, leaving only magical items behind.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

2nd-level Dust Savant Feature

At 2nd level you gain pro&ciency in the Deception skill and learn the Infernal and Abyssal languages

2nd-level Dust Savant Feature

Also at 2nd level, you can use a bonus action to learn if a &end or a magical effect created by a fiend is within 30 feet of you and, if so, where it is located. This ability can penetrate barriers, but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt. Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

6th-level Dust Savant Feature

At 6th level, you gain the service of a minor fiend to aid you in your pursuit of power. You learn the find familiar spell and add it to your spell book. When you cast the spell, your familiar is always a fiend and you can choose for it to be either an imp or a quasit.

6th-level Dust Savant Feature

Also at 6th level, you learn long-lost arcane secrets. Choose a number of 1st and 2nd level spells that are in your spell book such that the sum of their spell levels does not exceed your Intelligence modi&er (minimum 1). For example, if you have a 16 (+3) Intelligence you can choose either three 1st level spells or one 1st level spell and one 2nd level spell. You can cast these spells as rituals even if they do not have the ritual tag. You can change the spells you have selected, following the rules above, when you increase your level in this class.

10th-level Dust Savant Feature

At 10th level, you learn how to use the souls of willing mortals in your magic. As an action, you can invoke a &endish bargain with a humanoid you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature can use its reaction to expend any number of hit dice. If it does, you regain an expended spell slot of a level up to the number of hit dice spent. If this reduces the creature to 0 hit dice, it gains a level of exhaustion. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

14th-level Dust Savant Feature

At 14th level, when you cast an enchantment spell that normally targets only humanoids, such as charm person, calm emotions, or hold person, you can choose for the spell to target fiends instead. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modi&er (minimum 1) and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

14th-level Dust Savant Feature

Also at 14th level, you add the spell commune to your spell book. You can not prepare it, but you can cast it as a ritual. Once you do so, you cannot cast it again until you finish a long rest. It is otherwise considered a wizard spell for you.

When you cast commune, you reach out to the Lords of Dust and their masters. These beings have their own goals and may attempt to manipulate you into serving them with selective truths.

2nd-level Elemental Binder Feature

At 2nd level, you learn the Primordial language and can converse in all its dialects: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.

2nd-level Elemental Binder Feature

Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to summon a minor elemental companion. You can use an action to summon a minor elemental of the type of your choice (details below). The elemental is friendly to you and obeys your commands. It remains for 1 hour or until you dismiss it as a bonus action, at which point it returns to its plane of origin. Once you summon your elemental companion, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest. You can choose to summon a different elemental each time you use this ability, though most Elemental Binders will come to rely upon a particular elemental creature.

6th-level Elemental Binder Feature

At 6th level, you can temporarily bind an elemental to an arcane focus. The binding lasts for one minute. You can bind a willing elemental, typically your companion, as an action. Alternately, you can bind an unwilling elemental within 5 feet of you as a reaction when it is reduced to 0 hit points. When the binding ends, the elemental returns to its plane of origin. Your arcane focus must have a Khyber dragonshard worth at least 100 gp as part of it. When you bind an elemental to your focus, you can choose one of the following effects, the effect depends upon the elemental type:

10th-level Elemental Binder Feature

At 10th level, you permanently fuse elemental essence into your own body. Choose an element to infuse yourself with. You can summon an elemental companion of that type at will, and it will remain inde&nitely unless dismissed or destroyed. In addition, you gain a bene&t based upon the element you have selected:

10th-level Elemental Binder Feature

Also at 10th level, you can control bound elementals such as those used in elemental galleons, airships, earthsleds, and the lightning rail without having the appropriate dragonmark. To control such an elemental, you must remain in contact with the dragonshard that it is bound to and concentrate as if on a spell.

14th-level Elemental Binder Feature

At 14th level, you can bind an elemental to yourself instead of into an arcane focus. The binding lasts for one minute, or ten minutes if the elemental is of the same type as your Elemental Graft. You can bind a willing elemental, including your companion, as an action. Alternately, you can bind an unwilling elemental within 5 feet of you as a reaction when it is reduced to 0 hit points. When the binding ends, the elemental returns to its plane of origin.

The effect of binding an elemental to yourself depends upon the elemental type:

You focus your arcane studies on the power inherent to one of the Elemental Planes. Sometimes mistaken for evokers, Elementalists believe in the superiority of their chosen element above all others, and they aren't shy about making that fact known. Elementalists are often secluded researchers, or they sign on with groups who appreciate their singular talents.

Beginning at 6th level, you can draw elemental magic through your damage dealing spells and change the damage type to the one associated with your elemental focus.

You learn a third Elemental Mastery. You can also replace one mastery you know with a diffrent one.

Starting at 10th level, when you would take damage of the type associated with your elemental focus, you can use your reaction to take no damage, and you regain a number of hit points equal to half the damage that you would have taken.

You can use this ability before any resistance or immunity you have applies. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

You learn a fourth Elemental Mastery. You can also replace one mastery you know with a diffrent one.

At 14th level, your elemental damage spells are unstoppable. When you cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your elemental focus, you can ignore immunity to that damage type.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

You learn a fifth Elemental Mastery. You can also replace one mastery you know with a diffrent one.

You concentrate your arcane studies on the power inherent to one of the Elemental Planes.

Beginning at 6th level, you can funnel elemental essence through your damage-dealing spells. When you cast a spell that does damage, you can change the damage to the type associated with your focus elemental.

Starting at 10th level, when you would take damage of the type associated with your elemental focus, you can use a reaction to take no damage and regain a number of hit points equal to half the damage you would have taken.

You can use this ability even if you have resistance or immunity to that damage type from another source. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

At 14th level, your elemental damage spells are unstoppable. Your spells that deal damage of the type associated with your elemental focus ignore immunity to that damage type.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Wizards who specialize in Chaos Magic crave an understanding of probability and life's unpredictable outcomes to the point of obsession.

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage, you can infuse the effect with greater power by channeling chaos through yourself. You make this choice after determining that the spell has been successfully cast (by making a spell attack roll) but before rolling damage. If you decide to use this feature, roll a d6 + 1; this is the maximum number of your spell's damage dice you can reroll. You can reroll any number of damage dice up to that maximum, and you must use the rerolled results.

In addition, the type of damage your spell deals is replaced randomly. Use the Random Damage Type table to determine the spell's new damage type.

Using this feature has a chance of causing a chaos magic surge. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

Beginning at 10th level, when you cast a chaos spell, you gain resistance to a random damage type for a number of rounds equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You can try to narrow the spell's focus to a damage type you prefer, but doing so has an element of risk; you can roll twice on the Random Damage Type table and choose the result you prefer, but you must also roll to see if a chaos magic surge occurs. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

Starting at 14th level, anytime you cause a chaos magic surge, you regain one use of Long Odds, Twisted Arcana, or Shifting Resistance without needing to finish a long rest. In addition, every time you cast a chaos spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + the spell's level.

It is common for one to ask a disciple of this tradition: "Are you a wizard that casts ooze-related spells, or an ooze that is a wizard?"

The truth is, both are correct.

Esoteric plasmology has long ties to the Gelatinous Convocation, which wanders between worlds spreading happy, cheerful slimes to all corners of the multiverse. Though direct interaction with the Convocation is uncommon for practitioners of this tradition, many are apprenticed to more powerful ooze wizards for a time as they learn to control their newfound power. While the slime core that awakens within a practitioner seems to grant a surprising amount of control over one's form, careful study and research is required to coax the more powerful magics from this arcane phenomenon. As such, ooze wizards traditionally adventure in order to expand their knowledge of the physical world, enjoying a life of leisure and hardship alike in their quests for purpose and power.

At 6th level, the mystical motions you perform when casting spells become fluid and warped, causing slime to drip from your fingertips with every gesture. Whenever you cast a spell, you can choose an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you. The coiling ooze from your hands assembles in this space, forming a 5-foot cube of colorful slime. This slime is immobile, provides half cover, has an AC of 6, and has hit points equal to your wizard level. The slime remains until you dismiss it (no action required) or it is destroyed.

As a bonus action, you can cause one of these slimes to extend a pseudopod to grab a creature within 5 feet of it. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. If they fail, they are grappled by the cube. The DC to escape from the grapple is equal to your spell save DC.

At 10th level, the magic you wield becomes further infused with ooze. Whenever you cast a spell with a duration of "Instantaneous" that affects an area, you can use a bonus action to summon a mass of slime in the area. The ground within the area becomes difficult terrain for one minute, or until another spell is cast targeting the area that inflicts fire, cold, or necrotic damage. Creatures that end their turn within the area suffer 1d6 acid damage. You ignore the effects of this slime.

At 14th level, your mastery of the arts of esoteric plasmology has granted you a connection with the Gelatinous Convocation, allowing you to tap into their understanding of the world through the creatures they have gracefully consumed. Whenever you are in your primordial form, you can add your proficiency bonus to any skill or ability check you make.

Additionally, you learn to cast speak with dead as a ritual.

Each wizard has a strong connection with their familiar, but some mages eschew specializing in a school of magic in favor of forming a powerful bond with a familiar. This bond allows the two to work in tandem in ways that few arcane practitioners could even dream of. Those who encounter such a familiar never look at a rodent or bird the same way again.

Starting at 6th level, your magical bond with your familiar grows stronger. If your familiar has a trait or action that forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC. In addition, you can access your familiar's senses by using either an action or a bonus action, and whenever your familiar is within 100 feet of you, it can expend its reaction to deliver any wizard spell you cast. If the spell has a range of 5 feet or more, you must be sharing your familiar's senses before casting the spell. If the spell requires an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you use your own statistics to adjudicate the result.

Starting at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any wizard spell you cast through your familiar. In addition, your familiar has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Starting at 14th level, when you are concentrating on a spell of 3rd level or lower, you can use an action to draw on your connection with your familiar to pass the burden of concentration onto it, freeing you up to concentrate on a different spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Learning the find familiar spell is seen as a rite of passage among fledgling wizards, as the spell offers a useful, if limited, magical servant. However, a small subschool of wizards known as the "familiar masters" or "evolutionists" believe that within the humble spell lies manifold hidden powers. Indeed, their studies have unlocked the spell's hidden potential: the ability to evolve their familiars and fluidly shift its form.

Starting at 6th level, while you have a familiar, you gain a benefit based on its current form. You continue to gain this benefit when your familiar is transformed by your Arcane Evolution feature.

Starting at 10th level, you can use a bonus action to grant your familiar a number of temporary hit points equal to twice your level in this class. When you do, you can also change the familiar's creature type and which form it takes from the list provided in the find familiar spell.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

At 14th level, while you have a familiar, you gain a benefit based on its creature type.

The humble familiar is oft overlooked by the spellcasting community at large as a convenient, but typically useless spell. However, there exist subsets of wizards, known as Spellmasters, who specialize in modifying and perfecting single spells. The Familiar Spellmaster is one such wizard. They believe that their tiny subordinate hides powerful secrets.

Rather than making deals with angels or demons to obtain marginally more powerful familiars at a great cost, Familiar Spellmasters empower and alter this rudimentary spell to perform incredible feats. In battle, many spellcasters would ignore a familiar, which is usually all the advantage a Familiar Spellmaster needs to seize victory.

Many Familiar Spellmasters vandalize spellbooks and tomes in libraries or their own person collections with their notes on the modifications the find familiar spell requires to achieve these feats. Others begin from scratch with only an idea and their raw ambition.

At 6th level, you can unleash a wave of magical havoc when you dismiss your familiar or when it drops to 0 hit points. All creatures in a 15 foot radius circle centered on the familiar must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to your wizard spell DC. On a failed save, the target takes.

At 10th level, your familiar can steal the magic of enemy spellcasters. When your familiar hits an enemy with an attack, that enemy must make an Intelligence save with a DC equal to your wizard spell save DC. On a failed save, you select one spell that the target knows and can currently cast. They lose one use of that spell, and you gain the ability to cast that spell once for the next 24 hours without expending a spell slot or requiring material components.

Once used, you cannot use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.

At 14th level, as a reaction, you can redirect any damage you take to your familiar. This damage cannot exceed the familiar's maximum hit points + your Intelligence modifier

While many a mage may form a bond with their familiar, none are as strong as the wizards known as Familiarists. They use their knowledge of conjuration and transmutation magic to enhance the standard familiar with wondrous arcane power.

The otherworldly bond between you and your familiar has grown. Starting at 6th level, you can use an action to switch places with your familiar, each instantly teleporting to the other's space, so long as you can see your Greater Familiar.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses each time you finish a long rest.

Beginning at 10th level, while you are within 30 feet of your Greater Familiar and either you or your Greater Familiar is forced to make a saving throw, either of you can use your reaction to give the other advantage on their saving throw.

Your familiar towers over those of other wizards. Starting at 14th level, when you conjure your Greater Familiar, you can choose for its size to be Tiny, Small, Medium, or Large.

For each size category your Greater Familiar is above Tiny, its Strength score and total hit points each increase by 5.

The ancient and often forbidden arcane tradition of Fleshwarping is one that involves the magical manipulation of the flesh. Called 'Fleshwarpers' or derogatively 'skin mages', wizards who follow this tradition prefer spells that change their body and those of others, for better or for worse, and can sometimes be found as doctors, specialized surgeons, or lone practitioners of their craft.

At 6th level, you have learned how to change your body for any occasion. You add the alter self spell into your spellbook, if it is not there already. When you cast alter self, you can cast it as a bonus action, and can have up to two different effects active at the same time.

Additionally, as a bonus action, you can change the appearance of your skin to make you look younger, older, have a different skin color, or transform a part of your body to your liking, such as elongating your ears or shortening your nose.

By 10th level, you have imbued your skin and flesh with magic to protect it. You become immune to any spell or effect that would alter your form that you are unwilling to be effected by.

At 14th level, transforming flesh has become second nature to you. Whenever you cast a spell that affects multiple creatures, you can use your Skin Sculptor feature on more than one creature.

With incredible improvisational skill and a sickeningly masochistic approach to magical combat, Flux Mages have an exquisite understanding of the flow of magic—by painfully channeling it through their bodies.

Far from the stereotype of fragile mages who flee at the first sign of a knife, Flux Mages open their minds and bodies to injury. Pain is not a distraction; it grants them moments of cold clarity that they use to master the spells wielded against them.

A Flux Mage shines in combat against other spellcasters and relishes the multifarious agonies magic can inflict upon them. But they are far from helpless when facing mundane foes, as they absorb and supplement the powers of their magical allies. They learn their teammates' specialties—and present one less source of collateral damage. Their skill transforms their pain-addicted insanity that drives them into the thick of combat from a liability to an invaluable asset.

Starting at 2nd level, you can learn from the agonizing experience when you are targeted by, damaged by, or otherwise affected by a spell of 1st-level or higher. You can also do so if you are in the spell's area and are unaffected.

If the spell is of a level you can cast, as shown on the wizard table, then the spell appears in your spellbook. It is considered a wizard spell for you (even if it isn't on the wizard spell list). The spell is un-prepared and disappears from your spellbook when you finish a long rest.

The spell doesn't count against the number of wizard spells you have prepared. You can't use the spell for wizard class features such as Spell Mastery or Signature Spell, or copy it to another spellbook or a spell scroll.

In addition, when you take damage, you gain advantage on the next spell attack roll you make before the end of your next turn.

At 6th level, injuries make you stronger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage taken. You can use this feature three times, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

You can use this reaction on spells and other magical effects, but you don't expend a use of this feature when you do.

Beginning at 10th level, when you cast a spell of 5th level or lower that was added to your spellbook in the last hour, the spell is cast as if you used a slot one level higher than the slot expended.

At 14th level, you can not only absorb the knowledge of spells that affect you, but redirect and multiply their power. When you take damage from a spell or other magical effect, you add the same amount of damage to the next spell damage roll you make before the end of your next turn.

If you take damage from multiple effects, you choose which amount you add to your next roll.

Magic missile is a staple wizard spell, well-loved for its versatility and stopping power. Your fondness for it, however, borders on obsession. You focus your studies on this spell, exploring every rune of the spell's secrets and pressing its power to the limits, resulting in new augmentations and variations on the spell.

By 6th level, as an action expending one casting of magic missile, you can cast your missiles around you in a tight orbit, providing a deadly aegis from your foes. For 1 minute, your armor class equals 10 + the number of missiles orbiting you, which begins as the number of missiles fired, to a maximum of 8. Whenever an enemy ends its turn adjacent to you, a single missile strikes it, dealing damage as normal and decreasing the number of missiles orbiting you, and also decreasing your bonus to armor class. After using this ability, you may not use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

At 6th level, when you cast the magic missile spell, you fire a 2 additional darts, as if the spell was cast using a higher level spell slot.

By 10th level you have become intimately attuned to the energies that compose the spell magic missile and may alter them in significant ways. During casting, you may change the damage dealt by your magic missile to acid, cold, fire, or lightning.

At 10th level, when you cast the magic missile spell, you fire a 3 additional darts, as if the spell was cast using a higher level spell slot.

By 14th level, your missiles become especially potent. Your magic missile ignores resistance. If a creature is immune to your magic missile, or is under the effect of the shield spell, it is treated as only having resistance against it.

Additionally, your magic missile spell can deal maximum damage. After doing this, you cannot do so again until completing a long rest.

At 14th level, when you cast the magic missile spell, you fire a 4 additional darts, as if the spell was cast using a higher level spell slot.

As a Fowlemancer, you have mastered the art of casting spells with the aid of a flock of tiny geese that you keep in a special component pouch. These feathered creatures act as your conduit for magic, allowing you to harness their energy and unleash powerful spells upon your foes. However, you must take care to treat these geese with the utmost respect, for they are not mere tools, but living creatures with their own needs and desires.

When a creature fails a saving throw against one of your spells, or you hit it with a spell attack, you can bind one of your tiny geese to the spell's target. An ethereal form of the tiny goose appears atop the creature, honking loudly and beating its wings in a distracting manner for 1 minute, or until you end it as a bonus action. The goose follows its target relentlessly and always knows where it is, unless that creature moves to another plane of existence, at which point the goose randomly picks a new target (friend or foe!) within 30 feet of it. For the duration, any attack roll against the creature has advantage if the attacker can see the goose atop it, and the affected creature can't benefit from being invisible.

This feature doesn't have any effect on spells that don't specify a target, such as fireball or hallucinatory terrain. If you cast a spell that specifies multiple targets, you can target every creature with this feature, but must expend a different goose for each.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

You can call upon the aid of all your tiny geese in battle. As an action on your turn, if you have at least ten geese available to you, you can empty out the contents of your Bag O' Geese to conjure forth a flock of fury comprised of all the geese at your disposal. The flock surrounds you in a 10-foot radius sphere that moves with you and lasts for ten minutes, or until you use a bonus action to call them back into your bag. The flock can't be targeted or damaged, but is considered magical for the purposes of an antimagic field or similar effects. For the duration, you and creatures of your choice in the flock's area are considered to be in half cover, and the flock's innate magic grants you a +1 bonus to your spell save DC and spell attack rolls. Additionally, hostile creatures that begin their turn in the flock's area or move into the area for the first time on a turn are harassed by the angry geese, and take 1d6 piercing damage for every goose in the flock, to a maximum of 6d6.

You can call upon these geese to fuel your other Fowlemancy features as normal. If you start your turn with less than 5 geese remaining, the flock disperses back into your bag and your Flock's Fury ends.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

You can call upon your flock of geese to carry you and your allies. As an action, if you have at least 10 geese available, you can summon forth the contents of your Bag O' Geese to form a large flock capable of carrying up to eight Medium or Small creatures, or three Large creatures. The flock has a flight speed of 80 feet, and can fly for up to 4 hours before retreating back into your bag to rest. While in flight, the flock provides half cover to the creatures being carried, and always knows which way is north. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Goose MotherAlso at 14th level, you add more tiny geese to your flock,increasing its size. You gain an additional number of tinygeese equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Also at 14th level, you add more tiny geese to your flock, increasing its size. You gain an additional number of tiny geese equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Generalist wizards are those mages that intentionally keep their study of arcane magic as broad as possible. They seek lore and knowledge from all schools and traditions of magic, so as to be prepared for anything.

At 6th level, your arcane studies have increased your efficiency in casting a particular spell. Choose any 1st level spell in your spellbook that is not already a ritual. It is considered a ritual spell for you.

At 10th level, you have attained a greater mastery of spell preparation. As a bonus action, you can replace one spell you have prepared with another spell from your spellbook. You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 14th level, your arcane studies have increased your efficiency in casting an even more potent spell. Choose any 3rd level or lower spell in your spellbook that is not already a ritual. It is considered a ritual spell for you.

While many wizards focus on mastering a particular school of magic, there are a handful of wizards who want to master as much of the arcane arts as they can. These wizards, often called 'generalists', focus on acquiring spells and learning as much as they can regarding the arcane. These wizards learn how to eventually change their prepared spells, cast more spells, and increase their focus with spellcasting.

At 6th level, you have learned how to prepare at a moment's notice. As an action, you can swap out a number of your prepared spells equal to your Intelligence modifier for spells you do not have prepared.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

By 10th level, you have learned enough about the mechanics behind spells to know how to push your limit with casting them. Whenever you cast a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, as part of the same action, you can cast another wizard spell of the same level or lower, provided that both spells do not require concentration and you have the appropriate spell slot necessary for the second spell.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

By 14th level, you have become a legendary spellcaster. Whenever you lose concentration on a spell, you can use your reaction to instead maintain your concentration by expending either a spell slot of equal to the spell's level or a number of spell slots whose total value equals the level of the spell.

While any spellcaster can tap the potential coursing through ley lines, the tradition of geomancy teaches the art of becoming like a ley line and bonding with the great flow of power. Geomancy is sometimes looked down on by adherents of traditions that focus on individual magic schools because it eschews specialization in favor of molding any form of magic through the focused power of ley lines.

Geomancers have an increased facility for tapping into any ley line, but they also learn to bind themselves to a specific ley line. While other spellcasters must be within a ley line's area of influence to use it, the geomancer becomes a tributary of his or her chosen river of power, capable of siphoning its power anywhere.

Beginning at 6th level, when you augment your magic with power from a ley line, you can reroll the effect of an unlocked ley line or the result of a backlash. You must use the rerolled result. After rerolling, you can't use a reaction until the end of your next turn.

Starting at 10th level, you can bind yourself to weak or strong ley lines with your Channel Ley Line feature. In addition, you add your proficiency bonus to the ability check when tapping a ley line for power.

At 14th level, you can bind yourself to weak, strong, or titanic ley lines with your Channel Ley Line feature, and you have advantage on the ability check to tap the ley line.

As an action, you can lock or unlock a ley line within 30 feet of you. When you lock a ley line, choose one of its effects; the ley line will always have that effect for you while it remains locked. Once you use this feature to lock or unlock a ley line, you can't do so again until you finish a number of long rests depending on the intensity of the line: one for a weak ley line, two for strong, and three for titanic.

While most wizards who desire power over the dead focus their efforts on necromancy, there are other, rarer, paths one can choose. Gravebinders focus their efforts on safeguarding tombs and graveyards to ensure the dead remain at rest and the living remain safe from the dead. When undead rise to prey upon the living, a gravebinder hunts downs the abominations and returns them to their eternal slumber.

Starting at 6th level, when an undead creature you can see within 30 feet of you targets an ally with an attack or spell, you can use your reaction to hamper the attack or spell. The undead has disadvantage on its attack roll or your ally has advantage on its saving throw against the undead's spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Beginning at 10th level, when an undead creature takes damage from a 1st-level or higher spell you cast, it takes an extra 4d6 radiant damage. Undead creatures you kill using this feature are destroyed in a puff of golden motes.

At 14th level, you can use your action to envelope yourself in a shroud of golden flames for 1 minute. While enveloped, you gain the following benefits:

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Understanding and mastering the forces that draw bodies of matter together or drive them apart, the students of the Graviturgy arcane tradition learn to further bend and manipulate the violent energy of gravity to their benefit, and the terrible detriment of their enemies.

Note: This subclass has access to Dunamancy Spells.

6th-level Graviturgy Magic feature

You've learned how to manipulate gravity around a living being: whenever you cast a spell on a creature, you can move the target 5 feet to an unoccupied space of your choice if the target is willing to move, the spell hits it with an attack, or it fails a saving throw against the spell.

10th-level Graviturgy Magic feature

When another creature that you can see within 60 feet of you hits with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to increase the attack's velocity, causing the attack's target to take an extra 1d10 damage of the weapon's type.

Alternatively, if a creature within 60 feet of you takes damage from a fall, you can use your reaction to increase the fall's damage by 2d10.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

14th-level Graviturgy Magic feature

As an action, you can magically emit a powerful field of gravitational energy that tugs at other creatures for up to 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). For the duration, whenever a creature hostile to you starts its turn within 30 feet of you, it must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it takes 2d10 force damage, and its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage, and every foot it moves this turn costs 2 extra feet of movement.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher on it.

The rare tradition of Gravity Wielding is one where wizards explore the universal forces of gravity, focusing on spells andmagic that help to manipulate the cosmic forces that hold and move objects and people Wizards who study this tradition are hard to find, yet when they are encountered, they are usually found either in astronomies, or traversing the planes in order to master their control over all objects within existence.

By 6th level, you have learned to attune your body to gravity. Whenever you fall, you can use your reaction to cast either feather fall or levitate on yourself without expending a wizard spell slot. You can do this a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against being pushed or pulled against your will.

At 10th level, you have become even more attuned to the power of gravity and force. You gain resistance to force damage, and whenever you cast a spell that deals force damage or bludgeoning damage, you can deal additional force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier to one damage die roll.

At 14th level, you have learned how to fully control the effects of gravity. You add the spell reverse gravity to your spellbook. If you already know the spell reverse gravity, then you may choose another spell of 7th level or lower on the wizard spell list. When you cast the spell reverse gravity, you may choose a number of creatures within the affected area equal to your Intelligence modifier to be excluded from the spell's effects. In addition, you can use a bonus action to exclude one affected creature from the spell's effects. You also also considered anchored to the ground whenever reverse gravity is cast against you.

A curl of arcane exhaust curls up from the barrel of a gun like smoke. The wizard's opponent falls to the ground, dead in the harsh noon sunlight. The Gun Mage holsters their Arcane Arm and strides back into the saloon, their supremacy in this here town settled.

Strange wanderers through the waists, Gun Mages channel their magic through their iconic firearms and infuse their spells into eldritch bullets. Mortal and monster alike have learned to fear the lightning quick reflexes and unparalleled range of these vagabonds.

Each Gun Mage's gun is unique to them, some are made out of inlaid brass, others carved from the bones of an unknown monstrosity, some are lovingly crafted by their mage, others are passed down from a dear mentor, and an infamous few were picked from the rapidly cooling corpse of their former master.

When making your Gun Mage consider carefully the firearm they use, what it looks like and how your wizard came to possess it.

6th-level wizard feature

You learn to enchant special bullets, infusing them with spells from your spellbook. When you complete a long rest you may cast a number of spells up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) from your spellbook, you do not have to have prepared these spells but they can't be higher than 5th level and their casting time must be an action. Once cast these spells are infused into arcane bullets.

A creature in possession of one of these bullets may load it into any firearm and fire it as an action, releasing the spell within. THe spell uses your spell attack bonus and save DC, but the range is replaced with the range of the firearm used to fire the bullet. The spell treats the creature who fired the bullet as the caster for all other purposes.

When you complete a long rest all previously infused bullets loose their magic and become regular bullets again.

10th-level wizard feature

When you fire an Arcane Bullet that contains a spell that would force a creature to make a Dexterity Saving Throw, instead you may make a ranged spell attack against a single creature within range, on a hit they suffer the effects as if they failed the saving throw.

14th-level wizard feature

When you roll initiative and are not surprised, you may use your reaction to cast a spell through your Arcane Arms or fire an Arcane Bullet. If you use this reaction you can not cast spells or fire your firearm during your first turn in combat.

The ancient and forbidden tradition of Haemomancy teaches that there is incredible magic that flows within blood, and that those who can tap into this magic can obtain power unlike any other. Called Haemomancers or 'blood mages', followers of the tradition of Haemomancy focus on spells that can affect both the blood of others, as well as their own.

Many of these wizards practice their art in secret, fearing those that hunt wielders of blood magic. However, those who possess the talents of Haemomancy can utilize their knowledge and practice of such magic to work as specialized doctors, shamans, or even assassins.

At 6th level, you can heal your body with blood magic. Once per turn when you damage one or more creatures with a spell of 1st level or higher that deals necrotic damage, you regain hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).

By 10th level, you have become attuned to the magic in your blood. Your maximum hit points can no longer be reduced. Additionally, you become immune to disease and the poisoned condition, and gain resistance to poison damage.

At 14th level, you have mastered the art of blood magic. Whenever you deal damage to a creature with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can use your bonus action to draw some of their blood to you to consume, though creatures that do not have blood are immune to this effect. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Blood Resevoir: You consume the life force of the creature. You regain hit points equal to half of the amount of damage dealt to the creature from your spell, and your hit point maximum increases by the same amount. This effect lasts until you finish a long rest.

Bloodshape: You consume the essence of the creature. Until you finish a long rest, you can use your action to change your appearance to be that of the creature for up to 4 hours. Your statistics remain the same, but your size changes to be that of the creature, and you gain any of the creature's special speeds or senses. You have advantage on Charisma checks made to pass yourself off as the creature for the duration.

Blood Defense: You consume the strength of the creature. Until you finish a long rest, you gain one damage resistance or condition immunity that the creature had.

As a heliomancer, you focus your studies on the magical energy of the sun, and use it to create powerful bursts of radiance and dazzling displays of light. Though much of your magic is normally considered divine, you have managed to emulate these same spells and effects through rigorous study and careful experimentation. Some heliomancers learn their magic with the company of clerics, and become respected members of a temple or shrine. Others learn their magic in academic institutions—though most institutions only focus on the regular schools of magic, some teach rarer traditions such as this one.

Starting at 6th level, for the duration of light you can cast spells as though you were in the space of the object that light was cast on. You must use your own senses for the casting.

If you cast a spell of 1st level or higher in this way, you can choose to telekinetically move the object that light was cast on up to 20 feet in a direction of your choice if you cast a 1st level spell, plus 10 feet for each slot level above 1st. The object must weigh no more than than double your Wizard level in pounds, and it must not be worn or carried. You can choose to move the object before or after the spell is cast.

Starting at 10th level, when you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for a spell that deals radiant damage, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. Also, when you deal radiant damage to a creature, that creature begins to shed dim light in a 5-foot radius until the end of your next turn. For this duration, the creature can't benefit from being invisible.

At 14th level, the light you conjure begins to expose weaknesses of creatures within it. When a creature within an area of bright light that you've created would make a saving throw against one of your spells, you can choose to impose disadvantage on that saving throw. Once you impose disadvantage on a saving throw in this way, you can't impose it against the same creature again until you finish a short or long rest.

As a member of the Hall of Pyromancy, you have honed your ability to harness the destructive power of elemental fire. Though this school is often considered a sub-branch of the School of Evocation, it also employs the use of transmutation magic that controls fire, and is overall more specialized than an evoker.

Called pyromancers, members of this hall are often in high demand in times of war, where their offensive power can be used to redefine the battlefield and turn the tides of war. While many of the most famous pyromancers are those employed in a state's military, many others are self-employed, working as adventurers, mercenaries, or even simple bandits.

While many people unfamiliar with the hall think of pyromancers as unhinged pyromaniacs, these wizards think of combat in a very tactical manner. The flames and smoke they conjure are used to manipulate the battlefield, giving the pyromancer and their allies tactical advantages.

Starting at 6th level, your cantrips can create sparks as well. You can use your Scintillating Sparks feature whenever you cast a cantrip, rather than only when you cast spells of 1st level or higher. When you use the feature in this way, you can choose up to two 5-foot squares on the ground if the cantrip deals fire damage, or one 5-foot square for other cantrips.

Beginning at 10th level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher than deals fire damage, you can cause the spell to leave behind thick, black smoke. If the spell effects specific targets, a 5-foot radius of smoke extends from each target. If the spell effects an area, the smoke fills the same area as the spell.

The smoke lasts until the start of your next turn, and its area is heavily obscured for the duration. A creature that enters the smoke for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there must make a Constitution saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until the end of its next turn. A creature that doesn't need to breathe automatically succeeds on this saving throw.

Starting at 14th level, the fires created with your Scintillating Sparks feature can be used to protect your allies.

When a friendly creature enters a fire's area, you can choose to have the fire not deal damage to the creature. Instead, as the fire dissipates it grants that creature temporary hit points equal to half your wizard level. These temporary hit points last until the end of that creature's next turn. Also, the creature gains an additional benefits based on the fire's color, described below:

Hedge mages, sometimes called hedge witches, are curious wizards typically hidden on the outskirts of villages or strange forests. These wizards practice natural magic, not unlike a druid or ranger, but do so through rigorous study of botany and herbology. By using this knowledge, hedge mages can create masterful spells and valuable elixirs using the natural world around them.

By 6th level, your keen knowledge of herbology and arcane wit allow you to craft certain natural, but distinctly magical, elixirs. You know three elixir recipes, but can choose to replace a known elixir recipe for a different one whenever you finish a long rest. Your elixir recipe options are detailed at the end of this arcane tradition. You create an elixir by combining the recipes ingredients together in an empty flask or vial and speaking its unique command phrase. The ingredients and command phrase required for an elixir are listed in its description. Ingredients are consumed as part of making a potion, but are typically included in the materials you collect as part of filling your component pouch.

A creature can drink an elixir or administer one to another creature as an action. Alternatively, you can use an action to throw an elixir at a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature is willing, it magically gains the effects of the thrown elixir. If the creature is unwilling, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your wizard spell save DC or be affected by the elixir.

You can create a number of elixirs equal to your proficiency bonus using this feature. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses of this feature, and any unused elixirs become nonmagical. You can create an elixir with 2 minutes of work, or you can use your natural magic to bridge the gap between herbology and alchemy. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher from your expanded spell list, you can expend a use of this feature to create an elixir from your known recipes, provided you have the materials to do so. When you do, the elixir appears in a free hand or at your feet (your choice).

By 10th level, you can cast the speak with plants spell as a ritual. In addition, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the hit points restored and the damage dealt or reduced by your elixirs.

At 14th level, you can use an action to expend two uses of your Animate Plant feature to touch a Large or Huge tree, or similar plant, to turn it into an awakened tree. The plant gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a humans. Alternatively, you can use an action to magically grow a Large awakened tree from the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you instead. In either case, the plant is charmed by you for 1 hour or until you use a bonus action to end it. The plant shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours, and obeys any verbal command that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you do not issue any commands, the plant defends itself from hostile creatures, but otherwise takes no actions.

When the charm ends, the plant becomes inanimate once more. If you used an action to grow the awakened tree, it rapidly decomposes into a small pile of fertile soil at the end of the duration instead.

In addition, a plant that is animated by this feature or your Animate Plants feature also gains the following benefits:

Although the name was always intended to be an insult for those who do not follow a specific school of magic, and instead apply their wits to the broadest applications of its depths, the moniker has been adopted by those who wander in search of all things arcane. Their skills and abilities allow them greater flexibility, and they have a keener eye for theory.

6th-level Hedge Mage feature

Starting at 6th level, as a bonus action on your turn you can quickly read through one of the spells in your spellbook. Until the end of your next turn, you can cast that spell even if you don't have it prepared. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

10th-level Hedge Mage feature

Beginning at 10th level, you learn to recuperate your wasted magical energies. As a reaction, when you cast a spell that targets creatures hostile to you and all targets succeed on the initial saving throw, you can regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast and can't be higher than 5th level. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until complete a short or long rest.

14th-level Hedge Mage feature

At 14th level, when you use your Student's Eye to gain knowledge of a spell a hostile creature is casting and that spell is on the wizard spell list, as part of that reaction you can immediately cast that spell, providing it is of a level you can cast and has a casting time of one action or bonus action. Casting a spell in this way expends a spell slot as normal, but can only be cast at its lowest level.

While almost all wizards study in formal schools under the tutelage of a wise master, some wizards reject traditional arcane schooling and strike out into the world to learn by doing. These rare few who hone their craft out in the wilds are referred to as Hedge Wizards. Though their methods are frowned upon by formal wizarding schools, any archmage worthy of his station will reluctantly recognize that Hedge Wizards are the true masters of the low magics.

Regardless of their background, all Hedge Wizards reject the traditional methods of wizardry. When creating your Hedge Wizard consider how your spellcasting and spellbook may differ from a wizard who attended a formal school.

Your skill with basic magic is second to none, allowing you to spontaneously cast low-level spells that you haven't prepared. Beginning at 6th level, you can use your action to cast any spell of 2nd-level or lower from your spellbook, even if you don't have the spell prepared, expending the appropriate spell slot. The spell must have a casting time of one action.

You can cast a spell in this way a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

As you gain levels in this class, you can cast more powerful spells with this feature: 3rd-level spells at 10th level, 4th-level spells at 14th level, and finally 5th-level spells at 18th level.

Learning your magic out in the wild instead of the controlled environment of a formal school has made you hardier than most wizards. Starting at 10th level, when you are forced to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can use a reaction to grant yourself a bonus to the roll equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

You can use this reaction after you roll, but before you determine whether you succeed or fail.

Your understanding of arcane fundamentals allows you to recycle the energy of failed spells. Beginning at 14th level, when you cast a wizard spell of 4th-level or lower and the spell fails, you regain one expended spell slot. The spell slot regained must be a lower level than the spell slot used to cast the failed spell. This feature applies to all spells of 4th-level or lower, even if they are cast with a higher level spell slot.

When you reach 18th level in this class, this ability affects any wizard spells of 5th-level and lower.

Some wizards dedicate their lives to studying negative energies, chthonic planes, and fiends of all types. These mages are known for their acumen in navigating devilish agreements, wresting demon power, and hunting fiends of all kinds. Those who immerse themselves in the mantle of the hellhunter enter into a lifelong pursuit of understanding, harnessing, and utilizing all power that becomes available to them through the wicked realms of existence - by any means possible. Tasha herself is a hellhunter who has garnered quite a reputation amongst the fiends of the negative planes, known for outmaneuvering archdevils and strong arming even the most powerful demon princes.

As an action, you can spend a spell slot to summon a fiend of your choice in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. The maximum Challenge Rating for a fiend summoned in this way is the level of the spell slot used, and you can only have one fiend summoned at a time. Such a fiend is under no obligation to listen to you or follow your commands, and it cannot summon other fiends. If one of these fiends is reduced to 0 hit points, it disappears in a cloud of dust and reforms on its native plane in 1d12 days. It returns to where it came from after 1 hour. As an action, you can attempt to dismiss the fiend early. It must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or else be dismissed to wherever it was summoned from. It has disadvantage on this saving throw if you say its true name.

You learn the planar binding spell if you do not already know it, and can cast it as an action without material components. Once you have cast it in this way, you may not do so again until you finish a long rest.

Creatures cannot benefit from the Magic Resistance trait against spells you cast.

For some, merely drawing on ambient arcane energies isn't enough. Instead, a few seek to draw power from the very essence of life so as to utilize this untapped well of power. In many lands, this practice of Hematomancy is outlawed. Many would claim rightfully so, as in the wrong hands it could bring untold devastation.

At 6th level, you've gained the ability to control the blood of a creature while it still flows in their veins. As an action, you can use this ability to attempt to take partial control over creatures within range. Before rolling, decide how many Blood Points you are going to spend, roll 1d8 per Blood Point spent. The total is how many hit points of creatures this ability can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you can see are affected in order of their current hit points.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this ability is under your control. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. All affected creatures are restrained. You can use your action to take total control of one of the targets. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you decide and does nothing you don't allow it to. You can also have the creatures use a reaction, but this takes your reaction as well. Any action you force a creature to do that requires a roll is at disadvantage.

At the start of a creature's turn, it can make a Wisdom saving throw, on a success the ability ends. On a failure, they are still affected by Blood Puppetry. If the target takes damage, it makes another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the ability ends for that creature.

Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected by this ability.

At 10th level, you can spend Blood Points to reduce incoming damage. If you would normally take damage, you can use your reaction and spend any number of Blood Points to reduce the damage taken by 1d10 per Blood Point spent in this manner. Additionally, you deal necrotic damage equal to half your wizard level rounded down to the attacking creature.

At 14th level, your Blood Puppetry improves to 1d12 per Blood Point spent and a controlled creature no longer has disadvantage on the roll to perform forced actions.

The ancient and often forbidden arcane art of Hexmastery involves a specialized focus of the enchantment school of magic to creature one deadly and dangerous tradition. Followers of this tradition, known as 'hex mages' or 'curse masters', learn how to acquire deadly hexes, a special type of magic that can curse and debilitate others. These wizards learn how to acquire more of these hexes, and learn how to make them incredibly efficient.

At 6th level, you have learned how to curse others from afar. Whenever you cast an enchantment spell of 1st level or higher or use your action to cast one of your hexes, the range of the spell or hex is doubled.

By 10th level, you have become adept at implementing hexes and curses. Whenever you cast one of your hexes that affects only one target, you can affect two targets, provided that they are both within range of the hex.

At 14th level, your curses and hexes have become legendary for their potency. Other creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against your hexes.

Additionally, you can target creatures within range of your hexes even if you cannot see the target, provided you have seen the target in the last minute and the target is within range.

Wizards who pursue Illumination magic, called illuminators, use the stars to predict when danger is near, and they draw on the power of light to attack their foes.

Starting when you reach 6th level, the spell attack modifier and spell save DC for any cantrips you cast in dim light or darkness increases by 1.

Beginning at 10th level, illusion spells you cast that require concentration last for 1 round after you stop concentrating, as long as the spell hasn't exceeded its duration.

Starting at 14th level, during a long rest you can consult the stars and comprehend some meaning in a cosmic event. The stars must be visible to you for you to use this ability. The insight you gather is stored as a small reserve of magic inside an item that has meaning to you; a star chart or an astrolabe is commonly used, but any item that can be held in your hand will suffice. When the item is in your hand, you can consume that stored magic as a bonus action to produce one of the effects described below. The insight is expended in one use, and it is lost if it hasn't been used within 24 hours or by the time you start your next long rest.

Whenever dangerous creatures, powerful monsters, or infamous criminals need to be hunted down, apprehended and locked away, people often call upon wizards of the tradition of Incarceration. Known as 'arcane jailers' or 'bounty mages', these wizards combine elements of abjuration and conjuration magic into a specialized skill set consisting of spells and abilities that allow them to track and capture their enemies. Followers of this tradition often work alongside other bounty and monster hunters.

At 6th level, you know the ins and outs of locks, manacles, and cells. You add the arcane lock and knock spells into your spellbook, if they are not there already, and they are always prepared for you. Whenever you cast these spells, you ignore the material components. Additionally, whenever you cast knock, the spell makes no sound.

By 10th level, you have become an expert at capturing others. Whenever you cast a spell that grapples, restrains, or reduces the movement speed to 0 of another creature, you have advantage on concentration checks to maintain the spell.

Additionally, creatures under the effects of your Arcane Arrest feature must make a Charisma saving throw against your wizard spell save DC in order to perform any spell or other ability that allows for extradimensional movement, such as teleportation or travelling to another plane of existence.

At 14th level, you have mastered the art of imprisonment. You add the forcecage spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast forcecage without using material components. When you do so, you can choose to alter the spell in one of the following ways:

Once you cast forcecage in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

You use your magic as a tool for tactical operations, experimenting and exploring the possibilities of how you can infiltrate the most well-guarded locations. Followers of this tradition learn how to manipulate and disable arcane devices in their path and are cunning with their spell usage.

Beginning at 6th level, you develop an arsenal of spells suited specifically for infiltration. The following spells are added to your spellbook if they haven't been added to it already. Each counts as a wizard spell for you.

Whenever you prepare your list of spells at the end of a long rest, you can prepare an additional number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of 1 extra spell). Each of these additional prepared spells must be from the above table.

Additionally, whenever you cast one of the spells listed in the above table using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast.

Starting at 10th level, you can place a magical sigil on the ground below you whenever you cast a spell of 3rd-level or higher, which is invisible to all creatures except you. While you are within 120 feet of a sigil, you can teleport to it as a bonus action on your turn. The sigil then disappears. It also disappears if you place a new one with this feature.

Starting at 14th level, you learn to draw at the latent magic of your spells to camouflage yourself. After you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher, you can choose to become invisible until the end of the turn.

Adherents of this school believe that innovation is best served through experimentation. These wizards craft strange mechanical armor that not only provides protection, but it is also designed to help the wizard channel magic in unpredictable ways. Wizards of this tradition are regarded as geniuses to their faces, but wizards of other traditions often think of them as lunatics.

Starting at 6th level, while you are wearing your Alchemical Armor, you can tap into your reserves of magical energy to create spell scrolls. You can use your Arcane Recovery ability to create a scroll instead of regaining expended spell slots.

You must finish a short rest, then spend 10 minutes with parchment, quill, and ink to create a spell scroll containing one spell chosen from those you know. Subtract the spell's level from the total levels worth of slots you regain using Arcane Recovery. This reduction to your Arcane Recovery applies until you use the scroll and then finish a long rest.

At 10th level, the armor's potency increases. It gains +2 AC, and whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose 1 additional effect from the table.

In addition, you can use your action to shift one of the magical effects from your Infused Armor to an ally within 60 feet that you can see. The armor loses that effect, and the ally gains that effect until you use this feature again or you and the ally are separated by more than 60 feet.

Starting at 14th level, you learn glyph of warding as a wizard spell. While you are wearing your Alchemical Armor, you can cast the "Spell Glyph" effect of the glyph of warding spell without requiring material components. You follow other rules normally for casting it, including expending a spell slot. A glyph inscribed in this manner lasts until you finish a long rest, instead of its normal duration.

Once you inscribe a rune using this feature you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

2nd-level Knight Arcane Feature

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor and two martial weapons of your choice. You also learn your choice of either booming blade or green-flame blade as a bonus cantrip.

2nd-level Knight Arcane Feature

Also at 2nd level, when you cast a spell, you can use a bonus action to give yourself a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modi&er (minimum of +1) until the beginning of your next turn.

6th-level Knight Arcane Feature

At 6th level, you add phantom steed to your spellbook if you do not already know it. When you cast phantom steed using a spell slot, the summoned creature uses the statistics of a war horse instead of a riding horse, and it adds your Intelligence modi&er (minimum of +1) to its armor class. In addition, the phantom steed can cross liquids and similar substances as if it were under the effects of a water walk spell.

6th-level Knight Arcane Feature

Also at 6th level, you choose a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this beneit.

10th-level Knight Arcane Feature

At 10th level, you can use a bonus action to take on a ghostly appearance, with tendrils of mist that cling to your form and glowing red eyes. In this form, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks and your melee weapon attacks deal force damage. Your movements are dif&cult to track and opportunity attacks are made against you at disadvantage. In addition, each creature that can see you within 30 feet while you are in this form must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you for 1 minute. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each turn with a success ending the effect. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to this effect from your Phantom Form for 24 hours.

This form lasts for 10 minutes, or until you end it as a bonus action or die. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

14th-level Knight Arcane Feature

At 14th level, you can expend a spell slot when you make a melee attack with a weapon. If you do, you add your Intelligence modi&er to the attack roll (minimum of +1) and you immediately gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 10 + the level of the spell slot expended. If the attack hits, it deals additional damage equal to 1d8 per level of the spell slot expended.

The primal forces of nature have their own magical energy, one which can be harnessed by wizards with proper training. By drawing on this power, leyline wizards can tap into primordial reservoirs of magic to gain access to new spells, empower their own spellcasting, or disrupt opposing forces that attempt to take root in their domain. The most powerful wizards of this tradition can set new leylines, transforming unnatural or inhospitable places into paradises with time. These wizards work closely with druids, and they can gradually heal environments that have been blighted or corrupted.

At 6th level, you learn to channel the leyline's energies to augment your body's natural healing. As long as you are attuned to a leyline, whenever you use your Arcane Recovery feature to regain expended spell slots, you regain 1d8 hit points for each spell slot you recover.

Additionally, when you complete a short rest in a natural setting, you can attune yourself to a different leyline, following the rules of your Natural Attunement feature.

By 10th level, you can channel energy from your leyline to disrupt others' magic. You can cast counterspell or dispel magic without expending a spell slot at the level of the highest spell slot available to you.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

At 14th level, you have learned how to tap into the interconnected network of distant leylines, temporarily infusing even unnatural or hostile environments with their power. By spending 1 hour in meditation, you can draw on the power of a distant leyline to temporarily create a new one in your location. When you do this, you may choose any one terrain from the Leyline Spells tables and attune yourself to its leyline. The terrain of this leyline does not need to match the terrain you are currently in. Your new leyline affects a 1-mile radius area from the spot you meditated upon, which counts as the terrain of the leyline you attuned to for the purposes of using your leyline abilities. It is hard for a leyline to take root in unfamiliar spaces, and after 24 hours, this effect dissipates. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

By using this ability to create the same type of leyline on the same spot each day for a full year, you can cause the effect to become permanent. This will forever alter the natural landscape within the zone you created, and you can choose whether the environment within this zone matches your new leyline or combines the features of its terrain with those naturally present.

Lore Mastery is an arcane tradition fixated on understanding the underlying mechanics of magic. It is the most academic of all arcane traditions. Known as savants, followers of this tradition are a bookish lot who see beauty and mystery in the application of magic. The promise of uncovering new knowledge or proving (or discrediting) a theory of magic is usually required to rouse its practitioners from their laboratories, academies, and archives to pursue a life of adventure.

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell with a spell slot and the spell requires a saving throw, you can change the saving throw from one ability score to another of your choice. If the spell requires multiple saving throws, only the first is changed. Once you change a saving throw in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 10th level, you have attained a greater mastery of spell preparation. As a bonus action, you can replace one spell you have prepared with another spell from your spellbook. You can use this feature twice, and you regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

At 14th level, your knowledge of magic allows you to duplicate almost any spell. As a bonus action, you can call to mind the ability to cast one 8th-level or lower spell of your choice from any class's spell list. The spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, you mustn't have it prepared, and you follow the normal rules for casting it, including expending a spell slot. If the spell isn't a wizard spell, it counts as a wizard spell when you cast it. The ability to cast the spell vanishes from your mind when you cast it or when the current turn ends.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Some societies deem the practice of magical arts as sacred and too dangerous to be taught to any but a worthy few. In order to prevent the weave from being defiled by renegades some institutions regulated the use of magic in their region. Those who tracked and dealt with offending spellcasters were known as mage hunters.

With the influx of many new creatures and magics from beyond the Material Plane, mage hunters of today have shifted their focus from regulators to preservers. They strive to hunt down and eliminate magical threats and extraplanar entities, vowing to never allow corrupt and twisted magics from ravaging their homeland.

Mage hunters can be found in any setting. They're part of many tribal clans in Chult. They can make up some members of the Sen Sithrian in Anchôromé, the Order of High Sorcery in the Dragonlance campaign setting, or amongst the Veiled Alliance in the Dark Sun campaign setting.

At 6th level, you can forge a magical bond with a weapon you have chosen to combat renegade spellcasters and otherworldly beasts. Choose a melee weapon in which you are proficient. Performing the bonding ritual takes 1 hour, which may be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual.

You can't be disarmed of your bonded weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand. If you attempt to bond to another weapon, you must break the bond with the first.

While your bond exists, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon. The weapon also becomes magical, if it isn't already. At 10th level, your effectiveness with the weapon improves as it gains a bonus of +1 to attack and damage rolls, and then again to a +2 bonus at 14th level.

At 10th level, you learn the magic circle spell. You always have it prepared and it doesn't count toward your total number of prepared spells for the day.

You can use an action to cast magic circle instantly and at a range of self without expending a spell slot.

Additionally, when you hit a creature affected by counter-weave, you can instead use your bonus action to cast the spell in the same manner, centered on your target.

Once you cast magic circle using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

At 14th level, you are constantly on the lookout to distinguish the magical from the mundane. Your Intelligence (Arcana) skill proficiency is doubled with checks made to identify persistent magic, magical items, or the presence of magical and otherworldly creatures.

While most arcane colleges are more concerned with the intellectual study of esoteric and sometimes only theoretical origins of magic, there exists one that prefers to focus only on what they can see around them in the natural world: the magi-zoologists. This school of thought believes that the greatest source of information about magic is to be found in the many magical creatures that exist in the world, each one brimming with arcane secrets to be unlocked through research and study. Through their travels, the magi-zoologists collect samples of the various monsters in the multiverse, applying the lessons they learn into new breakthroughs in both spellwork and science.

While they are often derided by even other wizard schools as lacking imagination, the best magi-zoologists are extremely pragmatic and are well-equipped to survive the many dangers of the world. After all, it takes true strength to face down a full-grown dragon and live to autopsy its corpse.

Starting at 6th level, if you are subjected to a saving throw imposed by the ability or feature of a non-humanoid, non-beast creature, you may add your Intelligence modifier as a bonus to any future saving throws imposed by subsequent uses of that ability or feature. You retain this benefit until you finish your next long rest.

At 10th level, your study of the behaviour of creatures allows you to weave magic into your words, allowing you to placate and calm them. You add the charm monster spell [...] to your spellbook if you did not already know it, and you always have it prepared; having it prepared in this way does not count towards your total amount of spells prepared for that day. In addition, if you cast charm monster on a creature with an Intelligence score lower than yours, they have disadvantage on the saving throw to resist the effect.

At 14th level, you learn to break the magic bonds that permeate the bodies of magical creatures, temporarily disrupting their abilities. Whenever a non-humanoid, non-beast creature within 30 feet of you that you can see attempts to use an ability or feature that would force another creature to make a saving throw, you may use your reaction to cause it to fail and have no effect. This feature cannot be used on abilities in which the saving throw is imposed by a weapon attack.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), regaining all expended uses once you finish a long rest.

Magic missile is a staple wizard spell, well-loved for its versatility and unerring accuracy. As a missile magician, however, your fondness for the spell borders on obsession. Your studies focus entirely on this spell, exploring every rune in the spell's composition and analyzing every aspect of its casting, resulting in new augmentations and greater power than ever before.

Starting at 6th level, you can cast magic missile in a tight orbit around you, creating a deadly aegis from your foes which lasts for up to 10 minutes. You gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal to the number of missiles orbiting you, which begins as the number of missiles fired, up to a maximum bonus of +6. When a hostile creature ends its turn within 5 feet of you, a single missile strikes it, dealing damage as normal and decreasing the number of missiles orbiting you. Additionally, when you cast magic missile, you can add some or all of the missiles orbiting you to the spell, decreasing the missiles orbiting you by the number used.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

By 10th level, you've learned how to use magic missile to overcome your most powerful fellow wizards. When you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell, you can use your reaction to cast magic missile, with all missiles targeting that creature. The creature must make a single Constitution saving throw as a result of the total damage dealt to maintain concentration while casting the spell, even if the spell wouldn't normally require concentration. The spell fails and has no effect if the creature loses concentration.

Beginning at 14th level, your missiles seek out targets that would otherwise somehow escape them. This grants you the following benefits:

The path of the Malfeasant wizard unlocks eldritch abilities lesser spellcasters consider to be unnatural. Malfeasant wizards flout the restrictions of the Amethyst Academy which bar such forbidden magic. As a result, most hide from the Academy and the Silver Order, having been expelled from the school for their pursuit of such dark and dangerous magic.

Your dedicated long-term exposure to eldritch contamination has inured your body to its effects, and you can withstand a greater accumulation of contamination.

You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws and resistance to necrotic damage.

When determining which Symptoms apply to you as a result of gaining Eldritch Contamination, you are treated as having a number of Contamination Levels equal to half your current Contamination Level instead, rounded down. For example, if you gained 5 Contamination Levels, you would only suffer the Symptoms of Contamination Level 2. Thus, you would need to gain 12 Contamination Levels to undergo a Monstrous Transformation, instead of 6.

In the same manner, when checking to see if you develop a mutation when you gain a new Contamination Level, you are treated as having a number of Contamination Levels equal to half your current Contamination Level instead, rounded down. For example, if you gained 4 Contamination Levels, you would only develop a new mutation if the result of the 1d6 roll is 2 or lower.

Note that if you have six or more contamination levels, being subject to the purge contamination spell will cause you to gain six (or more) levels of exhaustion, and you'll die as a result.

You've discovered an arcane method to safely discharge eldritch pollutants from your own body. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can reduce your Contamination Level by an amount equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down).

You can gain Contamination Levels to empower your spells. Whenever you cast a spell which has increased effects from being cast using a higher-level spell slot, you can increase the spell's level without expending a higher-level spell slot. For each level you increase the spell's level in this way, you gain 1 Contamination Level. For example, if you wanted to cast the 3rd-level spell fireball as if it was a 5th-level spell, you could expend a 3rd-level spell slot and gain 2 Contamination Levels instead. You can't use this feature on a Contaminated Spell, nor to increase a spell's level higher than your highest level spell slot.

While you are concentrating on a spell, you ignore the Symptoms of any Contamination Levels you have gained, except for a Monstrous Transformation.

If you undergo a Monstrous Transformation, you maintain control over your new form for 1 minute. Unless you die, you revert back to your original form after 24 hours. When you assume your original form, you gain the benefits of a long rest and all Contamination Levels are removed from you. The Game Master determines what memories you retain from your transformation, if any. Regardless, the harrowing experience will haunt you in your nightmares forever, and you gain one form of Drakkenheim Madness.

Some individuals are willing to do anything in exchange for power. They delve into forbidden knowledge to expand their command of magic—trafficking with fiends and endangering their immortal soul in exchange for arcane might.

Tradition states that the devil awaits at the crossroads, looking to bargain with those who seek to sell their souls for glory. When you reach 6th level, you can achieve contact with the lower realms in less dramatic circumstances. For you, any significant liminal space—the threshold between one space and another, such as the edge of a forest, the entrance to a cave, or the doorway leading from a church to its graveyard —will do. In such a place, you can perform a ritual that summons a dark spirit from beyond, a shadowy form that will offer you power for power.

When you do so, you can expend a number of spell slots (equal to your wizard level or lower) in exchange for a pool of an equal number of dice that you can use in one of two ways. You can spend one or more dice as an action on your turn to heal yourself, regaining 1d8 hit points for every die you spend. Or you can spend one or more dice to boost the damage of a spell you cast. Each die you spend adds an additional die of damage to a spell you cast, of the same size used in the spell (d6s for fireball, for example).

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest. Any unused dice in the pool are lost when you rest, and you regain your normal number of spell slots after the rest.

When you reach 10th level, you have learned to enhance your magic to provide you with greater benefit against extraplanar threats. You are protected not only against attack or betrayal by fiends, but by celestials that would see you judged for your connection with darkness. You have advantage on any saving throws against spells and abilities of celestials or fiends that would cause you to become charmed, frightened, paralyzed, restrained, stunned, or possessed by such a creature.

Additionally, if you have the dispel evil and good spell prepared and a celestial or a fiend attacks you, you can cast that spell as a reaction. In addition, if you have a 5th-level spell slot available and a celestial or fiend attacks you, you can expend that spell slot to cast the dispel evil and good spell as a reaction.

Starting at 14th level, when you cast a magic circle spell that affects fiends, such creatures have disadvantage on any Charisma saving throws made in an attempt to enter or leave the cylinder by teleportation or interplanar travel. In addition, any fiend you summon with a conjuration spell gains 13 temporary hit points.

Mechamancers depart from the traditional realm of the scholarly book-smart mages, in favor of an hands-on mechanical approach to their magic. Experts in tinker's tools and engineering, practitioners of the School of Mechamancy use their magic to imbue mundane parts with animation, creating totally obedient constructs that can be repaired and disassembled. With these constructs under their control, Mechamancers can reside some distance away from the dangers of adventuring, while their creations handle the mess.

At 6th level, you can create weaponized automatons, requiring 1 hour of work and expending a spell slot. When you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to create your automaton, its maximum hit points increase by 10, its armor class increases by 1, and it gains a +2 bonus to damage on its attacks, for each slot level above 1st. You must supply a simple, mundane, light weapon or a light crossbow to construct this construct. Each automaton requires 2 Construct Points.

Automatons are short and walk on two stubby legs. They do not have arms capable of manipulating objects, and have instead a single weapon which takes up the bulk of their form.

Beginning at 10th level, your connection to machines is second-nature. You gain advantage on Intelligence checks relating to understanding machines.

At 14th level, you may create a humanoid clockwork knight, which can walk and wield weapons as humans do, requiring 6 hours of work and expending a spell slot. When you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to create your clockwork knight, its maximum hit points increase by 10, its armor class increases by 1, and it gains a +2 bonus to damage on its attacks, for each slot level above 1st. Each clockwork knight requires 4 Construct Points.

Clockwork knights are tall and powerful masterpieces of machinery, capable of taking damage and crushing your foes.

There are those students of magic who study the ways of modifying and controls certain materials and elements. Students of the tradition of Metallurgy are no exception, insisting that metal should be classified in the same category of important elements as those of fire, air, earth, and water. These wizards favor spells that control metal and effect weapons and armor.

By 6th level, you have learned how to manipulate metals around you. You add the heat metal spell to your spellbook, and it counts as a wizard spell for you. Whenever you cast heat metal, you can instead change the property of the metal from heating up to conducting electricity, melting, or becoming covered in metal spikes. When you do so, you can change the damage type of this spell from fire damage to lightning, acid, or piercing damage.

At 10th level, your body has magically attuned to the iron in your blood. You gain immunity to disease and the poisoned condition, and whenever you have your Steel Shield feature active, your AC increases by an amount equal to your Intelligence modifier until the beginning of your next turn.

At 14th level, you have become a master of metal. You add the spell telekinesis to your spellbook. If you already know it, you may choose another spell to add instead. Whenever you cast telekinesis, the range of the spell for you is doubled when applied to manipulating metal, and creatures wearing either magical and nonmagical metal or are made of metal have disadvantage on their Strength checks made against the spell's effects.

The mimic. A devious hunter, every rogue's nightmare, and the last thing some creatures see before being swallowed whole. The first mimics were created by powerful mages, and they were intelligent creatures, combining tactical prowess with an all-consuming hunger to create terrifying and powerful devourers. While the secrets of how to create those beings have been lost to time, some mages have passed down a similar tradition that allows even novice wizards to create the monstrosities that many dungeon delvers have become familiar with, commanding these monstrosities as subordinates through sheer power of will.
