Fusion Caster Abilities

The Kastrian Academy Prospectus

Note: The Fusion Caster is by far the most complex class in CTG, before using this class consult your DM as this class requires a lot of work from the DM.

Kastrian Academy Lore goes here

Before gaining your first level you must first decide which paths you want to specialise in. Each path offers unique patterns tailored towards different situations. As a Fusion Caster, You get to choose two paths to specialise in. Below is the list of Paths Kastrian Academy offers:

Path of Assimilation - This path of pattern casting revolves around using Leos to influence the mind. It can be used to form illusions, read thoughts, and deceive minds. However, using patterns that can effect the mind requires a strong mind of your own.

Path of Conjuration - This path of pattern casting specialises in using Leos in its rawest form, Condensing it into a physical manifestation. Whilst it has limited versatility. The patterns are more powerful for a pattern caster seeking offensive capabilities.

Path of Evocation - This path of pattern casting focuses on using Leos to harness elemental powers. Due to its complexities, Evocation patterns are broken down into smaller paths called Aversions. When choosing this path Fusion Casters may choose Two aversions to study and cast. The Aversions are: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water

Path of Transfiguration - This path of pattern casting uses Leos to alter the world around them. Transfiguration patterns can be used to change the properties of materials, manipulate limbs, and heal wounds. The Path of Transfiguration is one of the most versatile paths for pattern casters. 

Casting Patterns

At 1st level, you may utilize your knowledge to cast Basic Patterns from your Chosen Paths pattern list. As you progress you will receive Ascensions that unlock new patterns in each of these paths. When attempting to cast a pattern from one of your Chosen Paths you are required to make a Pattern Casting Check, the way to calculate this check is displayed below. Additionally, when attempting to ensnare, mentally probe or ensue some other effect that will cause grief to another creature (If stated on the pattern.) they will be required to overcome your Pattern Save DC, the way to calculate this DC is also displayed below. 

Pattern Casting Check = Your Roll + your Intelligence modifier.

Pattern Save DC = 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

How to cast a pattern - 

Each pattern has a Pure DC and an Impure DC. If the total of your Pattern Casting Check (Calculation method stated above.) is the Pure DC or higher the pattern functions as listed but if the total is between the Impure DC and Pure DC, The Impure function of the pattern is cast instead. In the event of a Natural 1 being rolled while attempting to cast a pattern it is a complete and utter failure and the corrupted function of the pattern is cast instead. If the roll is between 2 and the Impure DC the pattern will fizzle out and nothing will happen, example of Pattern below.
