Spellcasting

Factotums are unique in that their spellcasting is blended together, mixed until there is no differentiation between the schools of magic that were once separated. Rather than choosing a school of magic, they instead can choose spells from any school of magic. However, they cannot take spells which have a cost of 8 XP or higher.

They still receive four 1 XP spells free at character creation.
