School of the Arcane Hoarder [Wizard]

You toil and toil over a book of sigils and runes, only coppers left to your name, but magic at your fingertips, as long as you have your spellbook on hand. Meanwhile, Sorcerers pull magic out of their blood and random happenstance, and Warlocks just ask some unfathomable being unfathomably more powerful than them to give them magic. You struggled, and yet they just were handed power? You learned how to use their secrets without the need for magical blood or novel length contracts. At least Bards put in work, so they've got your academic integretity, for now. 

Were Those Supposed to be Secrets? 

• Starting at 2nd level, you discover records of eldritch lore and how to use the magic contained within. Choose two Eldritch Invocations from the Warlock class list that does not have a prerequisite other than level, which can be up to half your Wizard level, plus any Warlock levels you may have. You gain that Invocation.
  
  At 6th, 10th, and 14th level, you gain an additional Invocation in this way. 

I Get It Now! But...

• Also at 2nd level, you unlocked the arcane limits within you but at a cost. You no longer need to prepare spells, and can cast any spell in any of your spellbooks that you are carrying that you have spell slots for. You gain vulnerability to fire and poison damage. At 14th level, you lose these vulnerabilities. 

Malleable Magic 

• At 6th level, you’ve researched how Sorcerers boil their blood to make their magic work. Choose one Metamagic option from the Sorcerer class list. You gain a number of Wizardry points equal to your Intelligence modifier to use this Metamagic with, which function identically to Sorcerery points in that regard. You regain all spent Wizardry Points at the end of a long rest.
  
  You gain another Metamagic option at 14th level which can be used with your Wizardry points. 

Watch Me Try 

• At 10th level, you can cast any spell you’ve seen cast within the last minute, as long as you have the spell slot necessary to cast it. 

Master of Preparation 

• At 14th level, at the end of a long rest, you can change out one Metamagic option or Eldritch Invocation you know for another one you could know. 

Personal Library 

• At 14th level, as a bonus action, you can touch a spellbook you have personally added spells to and dismiss it to a special Demiplane. There is no limit to the number of spellbooks you can store in this Demiplane. As a bonus action, you can summon any spellbook dismissed in this way to your empty hand. As a reaction if you drop or are disarmed of a spellbook you were holding, you can dismiss the spellbook to the Demiplane. 

School of the Bookman [Wizard]

Part cult, part school, part army, the Bookmen are the largest faction of spellcasters in all of Xenara. They are easily recognized by their trademark gas masks, tailored suitcloaks, and, of course, leatherbound books. What few words they speak are reserved for devastating incantations followed by a string of words of a language known only to them. 

Bookmen practice the belief that there are both "strong" and "weak" magics in the world. They believe that spells that come from the schools of abjuration, conjuration, evocation, and necromancy are strong, whereas spells that come from the schools of divination, enchantment, illusion, and transmutation are weak.

Male or female, when a protege joins the Bookmen, they must surrender their name and can only be addressed as Bookman. The only other distinction the Bookmen have are their curiously clean suitcloaks which signify their rank among other Bookmen. Black Suitcloaks are those who've just earned their masks and a position among the Bookmen. Green Suitcloaks are the learned Bookmen and war machines. Tan Suitcloaks lead the Bookmen legions. And the greatest of all Bookmen, the White Suitcloaks watch over entire Bookmen Burgs.

The Bookman Suitcloak and the Bookman Mask

• At 2nd level, you achieve the status of Black Suitcloak. You are given a Bookman mask and a Bookman suitcloak, which is, of course, black. Both of these items act as catalysts for your magical abilities as described in the Bookman Magic section below and they are both bonded to you. You cannot be disarmed of either item unless you are incapacitated. If either is on the same plane of existence, you can summon your mask or suitcloak as a bonus action on your turn, causing your mask to instantly appear in your hand and your mask to form around your body.
  
  If either is destroyed, you can perform a ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be during a short rest. At the end of the ritual, a new mask, suitcloak, or both appear.
  
  If a creature casts detect magic on either item, both exude strong abjuration magic.

Bookman Armor

• At 2nd level, while you are wearing your Bookman suitcloak and you are not wearing any armor or wielding a shield, your AC equals 12 + your Intelligence modifier. Your base AC increases by 1 when you reach the 6th level (13 + Int), 10th level (14 + Int), and 14th level (15 + Int).

Bookman Magic

• Also at 2nd level, you learn the secrets of Bookman magic, which allows you to imbue your Bookman suitcloak and Bookman mask with magical abilities known as augmentations. You gain the Adaptation augmentation and two more augmentations of your choice, which are detailed in the Bookman Augmentations section below. You gain two additional augmentations of your choice at the 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
  
  Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the augmentations you've gained and replace it with another augmentation that you could gain at that level.

The Green Suitcloak

• At 6th level, your Bookman suitcloak takes on a forest green hue. In addition, while you are wearing your Bookman suitcloak, whenever you are hit by a spell attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d6. The damage you reduce increases by 1d6 at 10th level (2d6), and again at 14th level (3d6).

The Tan Suitcloak

• At 10th level, your suitcloak takes on a tan hue. While you are wearing your Bookman suitcloak, you can cast the levitate spell at will, without expending a spell slot. You do not require spell components when you cast it in this way.

The White Suitcloak

• At 14th level, your suitcloak becomes stark white. While you are wearing your Bookman suitcloak, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.

School of Cryomancy [Wizard]

The Cryomancy Arcane Tradition is a specialized path within the arcane arts, dedicated to the mastery and manipulation of ice and cold. Wizards who follow this tradition are known as Cryomancers. They harness the frigid elements, bending the cold to their will to freeze their foes, create structures of ice, and shield themselves with frost. This tradition teaches that control over cold is not just a means to wield power, but a profound connection to the most chilling aspects of nature itself. 

Big Chill

• Starting at 2nd level, your affinity with cold deepens, allowing you to chill your enemies to their core. When you cast a spell that deals cold damage, you can impose disadvantage on the next attack roll the target makes before the end of their next turn, as the biting cold saps their strength and speed. 

Frostbite Savant 

• Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to intensify the effects of your cold spells. Whenever you cast a spell that deals cold damage, you can reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and all expended uses are restored after a long rest.
  
  Additionally, you gain resistance to cold damage.

Winter's Grasp

• At 6th level, you learn to harness the frigid air around you, creating a barrier of cold. As a reaction when you take damage from an attack of a creature you can see within 120 feet, you can cause the attacker to take cold damage equal to half your wizard level (rounded down) + your Intelligence modifier. This frigid retaliation can deter foes from targeting you directly. 

Heart of Ice 

• At 10th level, your command over cold becomes so potent that your very presence can freeze the air. As an action, you can create a 20-foot radius sphere of bitter cold centered on yourself. The sphere lasts for 1 minute and the area is difficult terrain for every creature not resistant to cold damage other than you. Creatures that start their turn in the sphere or enter it for the first time on their turn take cold damage equal to your wizard level. You can use this feature once per short or long rest. 

Glacial Dominion 

• At 14th level, you achieve mastery over ice and cold, allowing you to manipulate the battlefield with ease. You can cast wall of ice without expending a spell slot once per long rest.
  
  Additionally, your spells that create ice or snow instill a deep chill in your enemies. When you cast a spell that affects an area with cold, ice, or snow, creatures hit by the spell have their speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of their next turn due to the numbing cold. This slowing effect stacks with other speed-reducing spells or effects. 

School of Daggerspell Magic [Wizard]

Expertly mixing potent martial skill with mastery of the Weave, daggerspell magic is the perfect discipline for wizards who wish to bolster armies at war or perhaps simply survive there. From what I've seen, these mages have developed a distinctly extravagant, impressive, and quite deadly fighting style. Now, having said that, I'm personally perfectly happy not tumbling about daggers in hand. That's a game for much younger people than myself. No, I would much rather spend my time studying new techniques and spells that allow me to not wade into melee combat and tire myself out. But then, to each their own.

Daggerspell Training

• When you adopt this tradition at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light and medium armor, and you can use a dagger as a spellcasting focus and can perform somatic components for wizard spells while wielding a dagger in both hands. In addition, your AC increases by 1 for each dagger you wield.
  
  Daggerspell Magic Features
  Wizard Level - Invocation of the Knife - Daggerspell Flurry
  2nd - 1d6 - -
  6th - 1d6 - 1st level
  10th - 1d8 - 2nd level
  14th - 1d10 - 3rd level
  20th - 1d10 - 4th level

Invocation of the Knife

• Also starting at 2nd level, you learn to channel your arcane might through your daggers. When you attack with a dagger, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls, and your dagger attacks deal 1d6 force damage instead of piercing damage. The damage die changes as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Invocation of the Knife column of the Daggerspell Magic Features table.
  
  In addition, when throwing a dagger, you instead conjure and hurl an arcane replica of a dagger you wield and you throw it with a range of 60 feet. The replica winks out of existence immediately after hitting or missing its target.

Daggerspell Flurry

• At 6th level, when you attack with a dagger, you can cast a spell up to the level that is indicated on the table above. You are able to use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus. You regain all of your expended uses after you finish a short rest.

Arcane Infusion

• Beginning at 10th level, when you cast a spell with your Daggerspell Flurry feature, you also gain temporary hit points equal to three times the spell's level. Once you reach 20th level, you instead gain temporary hit points equal to four times the spell's level.

Invocation of Certainty

• Once you reach 14th level, when you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to succeed instead, but when doing so, you can't take actions until the end of your next turn.

Invocation of the Furor

• Also at 14th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. You can use your Daggerspell Flurry to cast a spell of any level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again.

School of Dakt Tape Magic [Wizard]

Created by an ancient helper in wars to fix anything, wizards can be aptly interested in this seemingly nonmagical tape. Those devoted to learning it have discovered the tradition that is Dakt Tape Magic. Those who follow the tradition of Dakt Tape Magic are often suprised that with a little magic, dakt tape can be used to fix and replace almost anything. From constructs, to clothing, to even helping in sealing up wounds of their allies.

Endless Tape

• When you adopt this tradition at 2nd level, as a bonus action, you can create a Tiny roll of dakt tape weighing 1 lb. The tape has the following magical properties when held by you: 
  • You know the mending cantrip (this is not counted in your Cantrips known) and can cast it as an action. Using it this way will permanently leave dakt tape on the break or tear. Additionally, you can repair a break or tear no larger than 10 feet in any dimension instead of 1 foot. 
  • You have the false life spell always prepared. It counts as a Transmutation wizard spell for you, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared. Using it this way leaves a strip of dakt tape on the target of the spell for its duration. You may also cast false life on a creature other than yourself with a range of touch. 
  • You can cast false life as a ritual. 
  • You have the snare spell always prepared. It counts as a Transmutation wizard spell for you, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared. Using it this way leaves a strip of dakt tape on the target of the spell for its duration. 
  • You can cast the snare spell without expending a spell slot a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
  • At 5th level, you have the following spells always prepared, they count as a Transmutation wizard spell for you, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared: arcane lock, barkskin, earthbind, spider climb, and web. 

Sticky Binding

• At 6th level, the power of your dakt tape has become so sticky that it can cause creatures to stay in place.
  
  When you cast a wizard spell with a spell slot, you can choose to add dakt tape as a material component of the spell. If you do, you can choose one of the following bindings to add to a creature affected by the spell.  
  • Adhesion. The target's speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of their next turn. If the spell slot expended is of 3rd-level or higher, the target is instead restrained until the end of their next turn. 
  • Long-Lasting. The target regains hit points equal to half your wizard level + the spell slot level you expended.

Tough and Protective

• Beginning at 10th level, using your dakt tape, you can fashion yourself a set of clothes made from it. When you finish a long rest, you may fashion these set of clothes and put them on if you so choose. When you are wearing the clothes from this feature, you have a bonus to your AC equal to your proficiency modifier. These clothes last until the end of your next long rest or until you are hit by a number of attacks equal to your proficiency bonus.
  
  In addition, you can use an action and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to magically cover a willing creature's clothing with duct tape. Doing so will increase the AC of the creature equal to half the level of the spell slot expended, rounded up. This dakt tape lasts until you use this feature again, or until the creature affected is hit by an attack.

Sovereign Tape

• Once you reach 14th level, so much magic has been poured into your dakt tape that it has become nigh unbreakable; equivalent to the legendary items. You gain the following benefits: 
  • The clothes of duct tape made from your Tough and Protective feature can now only be destroyed at the end of a long rest. 
  • The Adhesion effect from your Sticky Binding feature now lasts until the end of your next turn. 
  • You can have your dakt tape act as a use of sovereign glue by expending a 5th-level or higher spell slot. You can remove and dissolve this tape as an action.
  • You have hold monster spell always prepared. It counts as a Transmutation wizard spell for you,  and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared. This version of your spell has the following changes:
    • The target must use a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (your choice).
    • The spell affects undead.
    • The spell needs no concentration.

School of Defacers [Wizard]

Wizards know a little about the other planes of existence from the start. Some even believe that all magic flows from some otherplanar source. No one knows whether that’s actually true. There are as many hypotheses about magic as there are spellcasters. Defacers, however, know their magic is drawn from a specific and terrible demiplane called the Grove of Crows.

A would-be defacer begins their journey with a mask. Perhaps they make their face covering from sticks and feathers after an unsettling dream about a flock of dark-winged birds smothering the sky. Or maybe they find the mask after following the sound of squawking crows into the forest, and there discovering a lightning-struck tree. From it, they pluck a shard of dead wood because it’s already an ideal, if disquieting, mask.

"Crow" Familiar

• At 2nd level, A companion tentacled crow—and also probably a spy—is sent to you from the mysterious but certainly aberrant entity nesting in the heart of the Grove of Crows. You learn the find familiar spell. You always have this spell prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can have prepared. If you already have a familiar, it’s eaten by the tentacled crow, which becomes your new familiar.
  
  While your tentacled crow is within 5 feet of you, the time you must spend to copy a spell into your spellbook is 2 minutes per spell level.
  
  *A tentacled crow has octopus stats, with the aberration type; speed 5 ft., swim 15 ft., fly 15 ft.; and can Hold Breath out of water indefinitely

Faceless Mask

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you found or fashioned a mask that has no clear features, inspired by your connection with the Grove of Crows. The mask grants you some benefits, plus a couple of drawbacks. 
  • You can use the mask as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells. 
  • While wearing the mask, you have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. 
  • Your otherworldly gaze can magically blind another creature. As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 5 feet of you. If the target can see your mask, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your wizard spell save DC or be blinded until the end of your next turn.
    
    On subsequent turns, you can use your action to maintain this effect, extending its duration until the end of your next turn. However, the effect ends if you and your target are more than 5 feet away from each other or if the creature takes damage.
    
    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. 
  • Each time you take off the mask, you gain one level of exhaustion. 
  • You suffer from face blindness while you wear the mask, meaning you have a hard time recognizing people by their features. While face blind, you have disadvantage on Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion checks.
  • If your mask is lost or destroyed, you can use an action to fashion another one with whatever scrap is handy if you’re not choosy. For instance, wrapping a rag around your face works in a pinch.

Aberrant Mask

• Starting at 6th level, you find that you get a better night’s sleep if you keep your mask on, even though the dreams are unsettling. One of those dreams imparts new magical prowess to you. You gain resistance to psychic damage while you wear the mask. In addition, you gain the ability to speak Deep Speech when the mask is on.

Erase Face

• At 10th level, your mask has been whispering to you lately. Usually, you can’t make it out, and no one else seems to hear it. Suddenly you realize the wisdom it was trying to impart. You learn how to erase a face. As an action, for 1 hour, as if concentrating on a spell, you can choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. This has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.
  
  At the end of each minute during which their face is erased, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. The spell ends if the target drops to 0 hit points or dies.
  
  A target with an erased face has no eyes and cannot see (they gain the blinded condition). Likewise, they have no mouth, so they can’t speak or eat. However, they can still breathe through two narrow nostrils, and they can hear normally. Other creatures don’t immediately recognize a target with an erased face, and depending on the situation, they may assume the target is some sort of half-finished doppelganger or other horror. On the other hand, allies who witness the spell being cast and the resulting transformation of a friend understand what’s happening.
  
  Once you've used this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Inevitable Call of the Grove

• Starting at 14th level, the entity in the Grove of Crows wants you. But in the meantime, it’s satisfied with the occasional visitor you send its way. As a bonus action, you transport a creature within 30 feet that can see you to the Grove of Crows, if it fails a Charisma saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. The target returns one minute later, or sooner if they succeed on a Charisma saving throw on their turn. The returning target reappears in the space they left, or in the nearest open space. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. The returned target is affected in the following two ways. 
  • The target suffers from the effects of your Erase Face feature. 
  • The Grove of Crows is a difficult place for unprepared newcomers, and the target can’t recall anything of their visit unless they succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. If they succeed, they recall only an unending mass of battering, flapping wings.

School of Diabolism [Wizard]

As a diabolist, you dip your toes into the darkest powers in the multiverse; the fires of the Nine Hells, the chaos of the Abyss, and the enticing power of the lower planes. Some diabolists hold strong to their principles, using the magic of hell in pursuit of good, but many, many more find themselves consumed by the evil of the fiends below.

The School of Diabolism is rarely a formal tradition, more often a practice passed down through a family line, ancestors leaving their lifetime of knowledge, secrets, and, most often, debts, to their unlucky inheritors. These diabolists have little choice but to learn the art: either practicing the means to defend themselves, or being left defenseless against devils and demons come to claim their soul.

Devil's Advocate

• At 2nd level, you claim the service of a fiend. You add the find familiar spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast find familiar without expending a spell slot or material components. When you do so, the spell has a casting time of 1 minute, and your familiar takes the form of an imp or a quasit (your choice). While you have an imp or a quasit as a familiar, you can use your action to command it to make one attack using its reaction. In addition, while your familiar is within 5 feet of you, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target your familiar.

Underworld Bargain

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you can spend twice as much gold when you copy a spell into your spellbook. If you do so, the process takes only 1 minute, no matter the spell's level, and you can immediately replace one spell you have prepared with the newly copied spell.
  
  The gold you spend is claimed by fiends you contract to aid you. Alternatively, you can sacrifice items of the same value, such as gemstones or art pieces.
  
  Additionally, you learn to speak, read, and write Infernal and make all Charisma ability checks against devils with advantage.

Hellfire Summoning

• Starting at 6th level, you can use your action to sacrifice your familiar in a gateway of hellfire, which appears in its space. Your familiar dies, and each creature within 5 feet of it must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move at least 5 feet away from the gateway or take 3d6 fire damage.
  
  A hellbeast bursts from the gateway before it shuts, which uses the statistics of a hell hound (MM 182), though it lacks the fire breath action. The hellbeast shares your initiative, takes its turn immediately after yours, and obeys your verbal commands. If you issue no command, it spends its turn attacking the nearest hostile creature.
  
  The hellbeast returns home after 1 hour, or when you use your action to banish it. It returns early if it is reduced to 0 hit points or if its turn ends and it hasn't attacked a hostile creature in the last minute or taken damage since then.
  
  Once you sacrifice your familiar, you can't cast find familiar again until you finish a long rest.

Red Rider

• At 10th level, you add the phantom steed spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can use your action cast phantom steed without expending a spell slot. When you do so, the steed takes the form of a towering horse with a blood-red coat and a flying speed of 100 feet. In addition, the steed has immunity to fire damage, and any creature riding it has resistance to fire damage.
  
  Once you cast phantom steed 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.
  
  Additionally, you gain resistance to fire and poison damage, or immunity if you are already resistan to those damage types. You gain darkvision up to 60 feet that can see through darkness of any kind.

Before the Altar

• Starting at 14th level, you can use your action to summon a 5-foot high altar of pitch black obsidian in an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of you. The altar has AC 20 and hit points equal to 5 x your wizard level.
  
  When you summon the altar, or as an action on a subsequent turn, you can sacrifice yourself, a willing creature, or a creature with 0 hit points. A sacrifice must be within 5 feet of the altar. The sacrifice is immediately reduced to 0 hit points. If it already had 0 hit points, it dies.
  
  A fiend you choose with a challenge rating equal to or less than the sacrifice's (or its level, if the sacrifice doesn't have a challenge rating) appears above the altar. The fiend can't use any legendary actions or lair actions. If the sacrifice was willing, the fiend is bound to act in your interests, and you determine its actions and decisions. If the sacrifice was unwilling, you have no control over the fiend. It might aid you, attack you, or simply leave.
  
  The fiend and its altar disappear after 10 minutes. Both disappear early if either is reduced to 0 hit points, or if the sacrifice regains any hit points.
  
  
  Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  
  However, if you die, your soul is sent to the Nine Hells, and you cannot be resurrected short of Divine Intervention, or the true resurrection, or wish spells. Any other attempt to restore you to life, instead, summons the devil who holds your soul and the caster must convince the devil to temporarily release your soul to finish the spell.

School of the Dragon Mage [Wizard]

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. Mages who walk the path between these two diverse means of magic are called dragon magi, and they meld the order of dweomery with the chaos of sorcery to grant themselves powers beyond anything the individual traditions could muster alone.

Dragon magi manifest their magic in variety of styles, as diverse as the draconic species and the types of magic that populate the worlds. Kobolds serving as councilors to great wyrms are taught by their masters to harness their innate draconic natures through the use of more traditional spells. A wild-eyed human, oozing sorcerous magic from an ancient draconic ancestor, might find a kindly wizard to help her focus her power. Special legions of dragonborn troops train with a master dragon mage, learning all there is to know to better defend their homeland from invaders.

Except as noted in the following, dragon magi function as wizards and use the wizard spell list.

Invoke Dragon Mask

• Starting at 2nd level, you can invoke a magical dragon mask. You use a bonus action and spend a spell slot to invoke the mask, which lasts for 3 rounds per level of the spent spell slot. The dragon mask remains as long as you are not incapacitated, until the duration ends, or until it is dismissed or replaced with a bonus action. It is a translucent magical force, in the form of a dragon’s head, which covers your face. Your face is still visible beneath the mask, and the mask does not hinder vision.
  
  While you wear your dragon mask, you gain the following benefits and drawbacks. 
  • You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1). 
  • You gain a bite attack. As an action, make a melee spell attack against one adjacent target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 + Int modifier piercing damage. This attack counts as magical for purposes of overcoming a target’s immunity or resistance to piecing damage.
  • You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks, as well as on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. 
  • Any ranged or melee attack spells you cast while wearing the dragon mask are made with disadvantage, and saving throws against spells you cast while wearing the dragon mask are made with advantage. 
  • As a bonus action, you can spend an additional spell slot to augment your dragon mask. Your next dragon mask’s bite attack damage increases by +1d8 per level of the spell slot spent, and you gain advantage on the attack roll.

Invoke Dragon Heart

• Starting at 6th level, you can invoke a magical dragon heart. You use a bonus action and spend a spell slot to invoke the dragon heart, which lasts for 3 rounds per level of the spent spell slot. The dragon heart remains as long as you are not incapacitated, until the duration ends, or until it is dismissed or replaced with a bonus action. The dragon heart is a translucent magical force, in the form of a beating heart, which covers your chest.
  
  While you wear your dragon heart, you gain the following benefits. 
  • You gain a bonus to Wisdom and Charisma saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1). 
  • You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your wizard level. These temporary hit points are lost when your dragon heart aspect is removed or lost for any reason.
  • You gain a breath weapon attack. As an action, a 30-foot-long, 5-foot-wide line of energy (acid, cold, fire, or lightning) shoots from your dragon heart in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d6 damage on a failed save, and no damage on a successful one. The type of damage can be selected when making the attack and cannot be changed until a new dragon heart is manifested. 
  • As a bonus action, you can spend an additional spell slot to augment your dragon heart. Your next dragon heart’s breath weapon attack damage increases by +2d6 per level of the spell slot spent, and you can add 10 feet of length to the line per level of the spell slot spent.

Invoke Dragon Wings

• 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 with a bonus action.
  
  While you wear your dragon wings, you gain the following benefits. 
  • Your speed increases by 10 feet, and you gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed. 
  • You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical sources. 
  • You gain advantage on any melee or ranged spell attack rolls.
  • As a bonus action, you can spend an additional spell slot to augment your dragon wings. Until the start of your next turn, you can add 5 feet of additional speed per level of the spell slot spent. Additionally, you can choose one creature per level of the spell slot spent within 10 feet of you, and ranged attacks against those creatures are made at disadvantage.

Invoke Dragon Tail

• Starting at 14th level, you can invoke a magical dragon tail. You use a bonus action and spend a spell slot to invoke the dragon tail, which last for 1 round per level of the spent spell slot. The dragon tail remains as long as you are not incapacitated, until the duration ends, or until it is dismissed or replaced with a bonus action. The dragon tail is a translucent magical force, in the form of a 15-foot-long appendage capable of striking with incredible force.
  
  While you wear your dragon tail, you gain the following benefits. 
  • You are immune to the grappled condition. 
  • You are proficient with Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and any skill checks using Strength. In addition, you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of the regular modifier for those saving throws and skill checks. 
  • You gain a tail slam attack. As an action, make a separate melee spell attack against all targets within 15 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 + Int modifier bludgeoning damage. Targets hit by this attack are pushed up to 10 feet away from you and knocked prone unless they succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell DC. This attack counts as magical for purposes of overcoming a target’s immunity or resistance to bludgeoning damage. 
  • As a reaction, you can make a tail slam attack against a creature who enters your tail’s reach. 
  • As a bonus action, you can spend an additional spell slot to augment your dragon tail. Until the start of your next turn, your dragon tail’s slam attack damage increases by +1d10 per level of the spell slot spent. In addition, you heal yourself for 3 hit points per level of the spell slot spent.

Studied Dragon Mage

• Also at 14th level, after finishing a long rest, you can choose one of the following benefits: 
  • Careful Dragon Mask. You've mastered the ability to cast spells while wearing your dragon mask. With this feature, you no longer have disadvantage on attack rolls with spells and cantrips, and the targets of your spells don't have advantage on saving throws, while you're under the effect of your dragon mask.
  • Dual Dragon Aspect. You've mastered the difficult ability to wear two different dragon aspects at the same time. When you switch from one aspect to another, the aspect you remove lingers for 1 round, provided its maximum duration hasn't expired. During this 1 round of overlap, both aspects are visible and you have full access to the benefits and drawbacks of both aspects simultaneously.
  • Fearsome Dragon Mask. You can manipulate the visage of your dragon mask to be a terrifying sight to your foes. Any target struck by your mask’s bite attack must make a successful Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. If you augmented the attack with a spell slot, the frightened condition lasts an additional number of rounds = the level of the expended spell slot.
  • Radiant Dragon Heart. You can link radiant power to your dragon heart. In addition to the damage type done by your dragon heart’s breath attack, the damage is also considered radiant. A creature that fails its saving throw against the breath weapon is also blinded until the end of your next turn.

Dragon Magic Spells

The Mechanics of the Dragon Mage: The Dragon Aspect

School of Eclectic Magic[Wizard]

These wizards focus on a few primary spells, of which they become experts at and unlike with most wizards, these spells could be cast from any magical tradition. Spell perfectionists take these spells and do their best to minimize the amount of errors and effort it takes to cast them, making them by far the most widely used spells in their spellbooks. 

Eclectic Spellcasting

• At 2nd level, you choose one spell of each level from any class. You learn these spells automatically at the levels you would be able to cast them. The chosen spells count as wizard spells for you if they were not originally.

Spell Knowledge

• At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in Arcana ability checks. If you already have proficiency in Arcana, you add double your Proficiency Bonus on all ability checks using that skill.

Spell Specialization

• At 6th level, whenever you cast a spell that you learned through your Eclectic Spellcasting ability, you can expend a spell slot of at least the same level to force one creature that makes a saving throw against that spell to make the saving throw with disadvantage.

Spell Adept

• At 10th level, whenever you cast a spell that you learned through your Eclectic Spellcasting ability that either heals hit points or does damage, you can expend a spell slot to reroll a number of the dice equal to your Intelligence modifier. You must use the new rolls.

Spell Perfection

• At 14th level, choose one spell that you chose through your Eclectic spellcasting ability, even if you have not learned it yet. You may apply the effects of your Spell Specialization and Spell Adept abilities with that spell without expending any spell slots. Additionally, should another creature attempt to cast that spell within 60 feet of you, it must attempt an opposed Arcana ability check against your own Arcana ability check. If the creature fails, you gain control of the spell and can either cast it from the square of the creature that originally attempted to cast it or discharge the spell so that it is not cast. In either case, the spell slot the original creature used is expended.

School of Embalmers [Wizard]

Keepers at the gates of death, embalmers use their magic to ferry spirits back and forth between the realms of the living and the departed. Unlike a necromancer who reanimates rotten flesh puppets and brittle bone marionettes, an embalmer offers a contract, letting a deceased soul taste the joys of the living for a short time in exchange for its service. Many embalmers even include a small offering of food, drink, or a trinket as part of the conjuring. These tokens of gratitude make embalmers (allegedly) far more popular in the lands of the deceased. 

Embalmers take much from the realms beyond, and they give back by preparing others for this final journey. They’re often called upon to perform funerary rites, anoint the dead, and of course, prepare the bodies. They take immense pride in their craft—the most egotistic of them go as far as summoning the souls they helped pass on just to pester them with lengthy surveys about the quality of the linen wraps or the cadaver’s rate of decay. 

Book of the Dead

• At 2nd level, by calling to denizens of the dead rather than the living, you’re able to summon a wider variety of creatures to your aid. Any spell that contains the word “Conjure” or “Summon” in its name and summons a creature with a stat block is considered a Wizard spell for you. The gold and time you must spend to copy one of these spells into your spellbook is halved. 

Mummification

• At 2nd level, though not necessarily related to your biological mother, creatures you summon may manifest in the form of mummies. Whenever you summon a creature by casting a Wizard spell, you can choose to mummify it. Any creature you summon with a spell not normally on the Wizard spell list is always mummified. A mummified creature has its statistics changed in the following ways: 
  • It’s Undead instead of its normal type. 
  • It has Resistance to Necrotic damage. 
  • It has Immunity to Poison damage and the Poisoned condition. 
  • It has Vulnerability to Fire and Radiant damage. 
  • Attacks it makes with natural weapons deal an extra 1d4 Necrotic damage. If a creature has no natural weapon attack, it gains one that deals Necrotic damage equal to 1d4 + its Constitution modifier on a hit. If a creature would normally be unable to attack, such as the one summoned by the Find Familiar spell, its mummified version can attack. 
  • When it’s reduced to 0 Hit Points by any damage other than Fire or Radiant damage, it explodes into necrotic dust. Each creature within 5 feet of it when it explodes must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d6 Necrotic damage on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. 

Runic Wraps

• At 6th level, using the latest trends in arcane cloth wrapping, you can empower your summons to react in new ways when exposed to necromantic energy. When you would grant a creature Temporary Hit Points using your Mummification feature, you can empower the creature with one of the following glyphs instead: 
  • Glyph of Decay. The mummified creature exudes a sickly, rotting aura for 1 minute or until you empower it with another glyph. For the duration, creatures that hit the mummified creature with a melee attack take Necrotic damage equal to 3 times the level of the spell that created the glyph. A creature that takes this damage can't regain Hit Points until the start of your next turn. 
  • Glyph of Despair. The mummified creature emits a low, droning wail of sorrow for 1 minute or until you empower it with another glyph. For the duration, any creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of the mummified creature or comes within 10 feet of it for the first time on a turn has its Speed reduced by 5 times the level of the spell that created the glyph until the start of its next turn. 
  • Glyph of Terror. When the mummified creature gains this glyph, each creature within a number of feet of the mummified creature equal to 5 times the spell's level must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be Frightened of the mummified creature for 1 minute or until you empower the mummified creature with a different glyph. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. 

Preserved in Death

• At 10th level, you’ve learned to treat your own flesh and organs with embalming salts and salves, halting the slow decay of time and freeing yourself from bodily needs. You no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe, and don't visibly age. In addition, you remain dormant but aware instead of sleeping, and can finish a Long Rest in 4 hours instead of 8. 

Rite of Embalming

• Also at 10th level, mixing your embalming techniques with a dash of transmutative magic allows a living creature to temporarily exist in the space between life and death. You can spend 10 minutes performing a special ritual on a willing, non-Undead creature of your choice. The creature must remain within 5 feet of you for the entire ritual, after which it appears covered in spectral bandages while the ritual’s benefits last, which it can make appear or disappear as a Bonus Action. The creature gains the following benefits until you finish a Long Rest, or until you use this ritual on a different creature: 
  • It can choose to count as Undead instead of its normal type for the purposes of spells or other effects. 
  • It has Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage, and Advantage on saving throws made against the Poisoned condition.
  • If it’s reduced to 0 Hit Points by any damage other than Fire or Radiant damage, it rolls a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to half of the damage taken. On a success, it drops to 1 Hit Point instead and loses the benefits of the ritual. 

Master Embalmer

• At 14th level, you’ve perfected the formulas used in your craft, enhancing your mummified allies to a superior state of undeath. Mummified creatures you summon have Immunity to Necrotic damage, as well as the Charmed, Exhaustion, and Frightened conditions. Additionally, the extra Necrotic damage from their attacks increases to 3d4. 

• Glyph of Withering. The mummified creature’s touch saps vitality for 1 minute or until you empower it with another glyph. For the duration, attacks made by the mummified creature reduce the target’s Hit Point maximum by an amount equal to the damage taken until the target finishes a Long Rest. In addition, the target has disadvantage on all Strength-based attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of the mummified creature’s next turn. 
• Glyph of the Mirage. An uncanny illusion of yourself overlays the mummified creature for 1 minute or until you empower it with another glyph. For the duration, whenever you become the target of a spell, you can use your Reaction to have it target the mummified creature instead, so long as it’s within 120 feet of you. When the glyph ends, the spell ends on the creature as well. 

School of the Familiar Master [Wizard]

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 as they use their knowledge of conjuration and transmutation magic to enhance the standard familiar with wondrous arcane power..

Familiar Savant

• When you adopt this Arcane Tradition at 2nd level,  you always have the find familiar spell prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you prepare. In addition, when you cast find familiar as a ritual, you do not need to provide the normal material components for the spell. When you choose your familiar’s creature type, you can choose aberration, construct, elemental, or undead, in addition to the normal options for the spell.

Greater Familiar

• When you adopt this Arcane Tradition at 2nd level, you learn to enhance your familiar with your arcane power. When you cast find familiar, you use the Greater Familiar stat block at the end of this Tradition, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) and Intelligence modifier (INT) in several places.
  
  Each time you conjure your Greater Familiar it gains a number of Arcane Amalgamation features equal to your proficiency bonus from the list below. You can change these features each time you conjure it.
  
  In combat, your Greater Familiar acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but it only takes the Dodge action unless you use your action or bonus action to command it to take an action from its stat block, or another action. If you are incapacitated, your Greater Familiar acts independently to protect you as best as it can.
  
  Other then the differences described here, your Greater Familiar uses the same features as a normal familiar.

Arcane Amalgamation

• Amphibious. The familiar gains a swimming speed equal to its walking speed and can breath both air and water. 
• Camouflage. The familiar has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when it holding still or lightly obscured. 
• Elusive. The familiar does not provoke opportunity attacks when it moves out of an enemy creature's reach. 
• Enhanced Sight. The familiar gains Darkvision out to a radius of 60 ft. If you choose this feature a second time the familiar also gains Blindsight within that 60-foot radius. 
• Flight. The familiar gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed, and while it is conscious it can hover. 
• Fortified Frame. The familiar gains 1 additional hit point per wizard level. You can choose this feature multiple times. 
• Keen Senses. The familiar has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on its hearing, smell, or sight. 
• Telepathy. The familiar can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any creature within 100 ft. of it that can understand at least one language. 
• Mimicry. The familiar can mimic simple sounds it has heard, such as a person whispering or an animal chittering. A creature can tell the sounds are imitations by succeeding on a Wisdom (Insight) check against your spell save DC. 
• Pack Tactics. The familiar has advantage on attack rolls if a conscious allied creature is within 5 feet of it's target. 
• Swift. The familiar's walking and climb speed increase by 10 feet. You can choose this feature multiple times. 
• Tunneler. The familiar gains a 10 ft. burrow speed that it can use to tunnel through loose rocks, dirt, sand, and soil.

Bonded Transposition

• 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.

Arcane Coordination

• 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.

Archfamiliar

• 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.

School of the Flux Mage [Wizard]

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. 

Nerves on Fire

• 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. 

Mana on Nerves

• Also at 2nd level, you can spend an additional spell slot whenever you cast a spell that deals damage to cast the spell at a higher level. You can spend an additional spell slot of level up to your Intelligence modifier to cast it as though with a spell slot of level equal to the combined total, allowing you to cast spells at slot levels you may not have yet, or might not exist. A spell must have benefits for being cast at a higher level, to be used with this Feature. 

Strength Through Pain

• 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. 

Residual Magic 

• 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. 

Flow of Energy 

• 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. 

School of the Fool [Wizard]

Reality is but a concept we create for ourselves, based on our own perception of the world. Various Wizards have yearned to define what is true and what is false regarding the veiled mysteries of the universe, to a point where they deemed such a task to be futile. Others went mad, no longer able to tell the difference between the truth and a mere illusion of it. Rather than trying to determine reality itself, those arcanists have therefore indulged themselves with the creation of alternate realities, studying the very methods that are capable of fooling the mortal senses. They deploy these abilities in combat, taking pleasure in merely observing how a fearsome enemy can be turned into a pawn, once they gain control over their setting.

Flickering Image

• Starting at 2nd level, whenever you tap into the Weave, you can form an illusory visage of yourself to distract and confuse your foes. Whenever you cast a spell on your turn that is not a cantrip, you create a mirror image of yourself that functions as having a single active mirror image through means of the mirror image spell. You cannot have more than 4 active mirror images at a time, by any means.
  
  Also, you gain proficiency on Dexterity saving throws.

Wit's End

• Starting at 6th level, upon targeting a creature with a spell attack, you can use your bonus action to force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spellcasting DC. On a failed save it suffers one of the following effects:
  • The creature thinks it is surrounded by enemies and makes a melee weapon attack against a creature of your choice within its reach. 
  • The creature thinks all of its enemies have stopped fighting and lowers its guard. Its AC is reduced by a number equal to your proficiency bonus until it is successfully hit by an attack or a spell. 
  • The creature stops perceiving the presence of another creature of your choice until that creature moves, attacks or forces another creature to make a saving throw. 
  • The creature suffers an attack on its mind. The next time the creature makes a Wisdom, Charisma or Intelligence saving throw (your choice upon deciding the effect) it does so with disadvantage.

Jack in a Box

• Starting at level 10, you can attune yourself to a small, mundane box through a ritual that lasts 10 minutes, causing it to become magical for as long as you remain in attunement to it. The box’s dimensions must be no more than 1 foot long and 1 foot wide, and it may weight no more than 2 pounds. You can spend an action to store any spell that you are capable of casting within the box. The spell remains stored until expended, or until you choose to store a different spell. For as long as a spell is stored within the box, your available spells per day are decreased in the appropriate manner, as if you have already cast that spell.
  
  A stored spell becomes triggered in one of two different ways; either by spending a bonus action, or by having a creature to open the box. The spell’s effect is always centered at the box’s location and the box itself remains unaffected by any damage it may cause to its surroundings.

Theater of Ploy

• At level 14, for every mirror image of yours that is active, you gain a bonus +1 to your spellcasting DC when casting spells that belong to the school of illusion.
  
  In addition, upon casting a spell while having at least one active mirror image, you can make a Charisma (Deception) check against all creatures that can perceive you casting it. On a success, your spell cannot become counterspelled. If it is a spell that belongs to the school of illusion, any Intelligence (Investigation) checks made by other creatures to see through it are made with disadvantage.

School of Gnosticism [Wizard]

Most arcane schools employ established structures, philosophical leanings, and certain rules regarding magic operations. However, there are some wizards who view these rules and guidelines as arbitrary. These wizards are often students of the occult, philosophy, and unorthodox practices and religions. Sometimes called chaos magicians, gnostics, or sigilists, these wizards believe most wizards’ magic only works because they know it should and conversely argue that intellectual belief alone is strong enough to manifest desire into reality. This unusual approach to magic, akin to a philosophy or arcane spiritualism, is called gnosticism.

Followers of this tradition inscribe meaningless sigils, a personal gibberish script that represents the practitioner's desire, and empower them with arcane energy to transform the desires written in their sigils into reality. In addition, they learn to enter an altered state of consciousness, wherein thoughts are filtered to maintain focus and increase arcane effectiveness. These wizards consult on the paranormal, unconventional phenomena, and the decryption of arcane runes and sigils, and in battle, they wield magic in ways that few wizards ever deem possible.

Sigil Savant

• Starting at 2nd level when you take up this tradition, you learn how to write arcane scripts and designs, called sigils, which are used to cast spells. You gain proficiency in calligrapher's supplies, and you can use a symbol written in ink on parchment, wood, or skin in ink as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

Gnostic State

• Beginning at 2nd level, you have learned how to enter an altered form of consciousness that grants focus and enhanced magical knowledge, known as your Gnostic State.
  
  You can use a bonus action to enter your Gnostic State, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, though you can dismiss your Gnostic State at any time you choose (no action required). While in your Gnostic State, you gain the following benefits:
  • You can add your Intelligence modifier to saving throws made to maintain concentration on spells. 
  • You have advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) and Intelligence (Religion) checks.
  • Once per Gnostic State, you can cast any spell in your spellbook, even if you don't have it prepared. You write out a sigil as part of casting this spell, and you cast it without any verbal or material components, though the casting time of the spell remains the same. If the material components for the spell requires a material component which has a gold value, you must provide the material component and the spell slot appropriate. Once you have cast a spell in this way, your Gnostic State ends. 

Unorthodox Arcana

• By 6th level, your ability to use sigils to produce desired magical effects extends beyond the structures of normal wizardry. At the end of a long rest, choose one spell of 1st level or higher from any class. The spell you choose must be of a level you can cast. The chosen spell counts as wizard spell for you, is considered prepared until you finish your next long rest or until you cast the spell, and does not count toward the total number of spells that you can prepare. You can cast the spell once using a wizard spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You write out a sigil as part of casting any spell prepared via this feature, and you cast it without any verbal or material components. If the material components for the spell requires a material component which has a gold value, you must provide the material component.
  
  At the end of a long rest, if the spell you prepared via this feature is not cast, it is lost and you must prepare another at the end of a long rest.

Esoteric Resolve

• At 10th level, your ability to focus allows you to better ignore hindrances from the outside world. You are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts or telepathically communicate with you unless you allow it, and when you make an Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw while you are in your Gnostic State, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Apotheosis

• By 14th level, you have finally mastered the art of achieving gnosis. While in your Gnostic State, your concentration can't be broken as a result of taking damage.

Forgotten School of the Grey Guild [Wizard]

Wizards of the Grey Guild arcane tradition eschew a focus on one specific school of magic in favor of an arcane specialty in duplicity and espionage. Some say, all wizards of this tradition belong to one organization with its own overarching goals and schemes while some say, the Grey Guild is a methodology used by individual wizards and arcane organizations in competition with one another. Regardless of which is the case, wizards of the Grey Guild have a bad reputation amongst wizards of other traditions given their proclivity for hoarding magical secrets from other spellcasters.

Spycraft Savant

• At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in three of the following skills, tool, or vehicle of your choice: Deception, Insight, Investigation, Perception, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, thieves' tools, tinker's tools, jeweler's tools, or land vehicles. When you roll for the chosen skills of this feature, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the roll (minimum 1).

Grey Specialty

• At 2nd level, you choose one of the following specialties:
  • Arcane Espionage. You can weave defenses and further subtlety into your deception. While you are invisible, your true form is concealed by Illusion or Transmutation magic, or you are concentrating on a spell with the spycraft spell tag, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Deception or Stealth, and you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

• • Book of Secrets. You practice your magic using a special spellbook called the Book of Secrets. Once before the end of your next long rest, you can spend 1 hour converting your current spellbook into the Book of Secrets. While you are holding your Book of Secrets, you gain the following benefits: 
    • As an action, you can write down the name of a willing creature in your Book of Secrets. While the creature’s name is inscribed in the book, you can use an action to see through its senses for up to 1 minute. While perceiving through the creature’s senses, you gain the benefits of any special senses it has, though you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings. You can stop observing through the creature’s senses as a bonus action. 
    • You can spend 1 minute sketching a stationary object into your Book of Secrets. You must be within 30 feet of the object and be able to see it for the entirety of the duration for your sketch to be accurate. Afterwards, while the sketch is in your spellbook, it magically alerts you if the object is moved more than 5 feet from its original position. This doesn’t tell you the location of the object, nor does it tell you who has moved it. The sketch then disappears from your spellbook. 

• • Disrupt Magic. You learn to pull at raw arcane energy, disrupting it for short periods of time. As an action, you can choose one object within 15 feet of you. If it is a magical item or a magically imbued object, its magical properties cease to function for 10 minutes. If any spells are affecting the item, such as the arcane lock spell, they also cease to function if they are of 5th-level or lower for 10 minutes. If the object is particularly powerful, complex, or large, your GM might determine that its magic is instead dampened, or that only a portion of its magical properties are affected. Some highly potent arcane objects might resist this feature entirely. If your GM determines that is the case, you instead learn the object’s magical properties, as if you cast the identify spell on it. 

• • Encoded Speech. You can use a bonus action on your turn to magically encode your speech for 10 minutes. When you do, choose a number of creatures you can see up to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level. Chosen creatures understand the encoded messages within your speech. All other creatures hear you speaking about a subject of your choice and can make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, a creature suspects you are speaking code but doesn’t understand the message. On a failure, it is clueless to your subterfuge. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest to use it again.

Arcane Occultation

• Starting at 6th level, you have delved into the deeper studies and techniques of the Guild. Choose from two of the following features:
  • Discreet. You can ignore the Verbal components when you cast a wizard spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
  • Mindcrack. The Weave intervenes in the minds of others to obscure your comings and goings. When you interact with a humanoid for 10 minutes or less, you can choose to force the creature to make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC. Creatures who already know you personally have advantage on this saving throw. On a failure, the creature forgets all the details of the interaction as soon as it is over, including your identity and any of your identifying characteristics.
  • Persistent Invisibility. When a spell that makes you invisible should end for you because you have made an attack or you have casted a spell, you can make an Intelligence saving throw (DC 15). On a success, the spell doesn't end for you and you remain invisible. In addition, when a spell that makes you invisible reaches the end of its duration, or when you lose you concentration on it, you remain invisible until the start of your next turn.
  • Remote Surveillance. You can spend 8 hours creating a saboteur’s stone. After spending 1 minute in unbroken concentration, you can see and hear everything that happens within 30 feet of your saboteur’s stone so long as you are on the same plane of existence and continue to concentrate (as if on a spell) on the stone. During this time, you are blind and deaf in regards to your own senses. While observing through the saboteur’s stone you can cast a single ranged spell as if you were in the stone’s location, after which the stone is destroyed. The stone is also destroyed when you use this feature to create a new saboteur’s stone.

Grey Expertise

• By 10th level, you have mastered one of the few masterful techniques of the Guild. Choose one of the following expertise:
  • Arcane Translocation. 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.
  • Book of Secrets v2 (Only available when you have the Book of Secrets feature). Your Book of Secrets is able to alert you of danger. While the spellbook is on your person, you and any listed names in the book have advantage on initiative rolls, can’t be surprised, and can magically awaken from nonmagical sleep when combat begins.

• • Conspiracy of One. You have learned to trust no one but yourself. That would pose a problem for the agents of the Grey Guild except that they learn to form a conspiracy of one. As an action, you can expend a spell slot to create a number of conspirators equal to the level of the spell slot expended. Each conspirator appears in its own unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

• • Cross-Examination. Your spells loosen the tongues of your enemies. When you cast a wizard spell of 1st-level or higher that requires a saving throw, choose one of the creatures that failed its save; it can't speak a deliberate lie for the spell's duration and knows this fact. If the spell has the spycraft tag, it is instead unaware of its compelled truth.

Grey Guild Master

• Starting at 14th level you have reached the pinnacle of the secrets of the guild. Choose one from the following features: 
  • Book of Secrets v3 (Only available if you have the Book of Secrets feature). Your Book of Secrets can now more effectively observe targets inscribed in it. You add the locate object and locate creature spells to your spellbook, if they’re not there already. You can use each of these spells in the following ways, which you can do only once before the end of your next long rest, as shown below. When you cast a spell using this feature, you don’t expend a spell slot or material components, and you ignore the distance limitation of the spell. 

• When your spellbook alerts you to an object being moved, you can choose to cast locate object up to 1 hour after the object was moved. When you cast the spell, you can also choose to see and hear from the object as if you were located where it is, experiencing these senses through your spellbook’s pages (only you can observe the pages in this way). 
• You can cast locate creature, targeting a creature written in your spellbook. When you do, you can also telepathically communicate with it as long as you share a language with it. 

• • Ethereal Infiltrator. While you are in dim light or darkness, you can move through creatures and objects. If you end your turn inside a creature or object, you take 1d10 force damage for each 5 feet between you and the nearest unoccupied space, then you teleport to that space.
  • Silent Casting. You can cast spells without drawing attention to yourself. When you cast a spell with the spycraft tag, you can cast it without verbal or somatic components.
    
    Alternatively, you can cast a spell without the spycraft tag to cast it without verbal or somatic components by expending a 1st level spell slot or higher.
  • Tactical Camouflage. you learn the invisibility spell. If it is already in your spellbook, you can learn another 2nd level wizard spell or less instead. You always have the invisibility spell prepared, but it doesn't count against the maximum number of spells you can prepare. You can concentrate on the invisibility spell at the same time you concentrate on another spell. When you do so, you gain a level of exhaustion when your invisibility spell ends, and if you lose your concentration, both invisibility and your other spell end.
    
    In addition, when you are invisible, the spell see invisibility doesn't reveal you, and creatures with truesight can't see you.

School of Hedge Magic [Wizard]

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.

Cantrip Savant

• Your unorthodox relationship with arcane magic allows you to you learn fundamental magics not traditionally associated with wizards. When you adopt this Arcane Tradition at 2nd level, you learn one cantrip of your choice from any spell list. The chosen cantrip counts as a wizard spell for you, but does not count against your total number of Cantrips Known. 

Self-Taught

• Your deep understanding of the low magics allows you to add them to your spellbook at a discount. Starting at 2nd level, the time you must spend to copy any spell of a level equal to half your proficiency bonus or lower into your spellbook is halved, and the cost of the materials and inks is reduced by 50 gold.

On the Fly

• 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.

Hardy Magic

• 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).

Arcane Conservation

• 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.

What is a Failed Spell?

School of Hibernation [Wizard]

Ceaseless winter winds howl as they tear across the pale landscape, eventually calming to a slight breeze as snow falls in the quiet and cold night. Blinding storms give way to moments of eerie calm and stillness. For some, the season is a time to huddle inside until such cold days pass, but wizards of the School of Hibernation embrace both the chance for rest and the might of the winter storms.

In their first lessons, these mages learn to store their potential, banking reserves of magic through repose. This practice bears furious fruit: where many see rest as the end goal, a wizard of this school can use the power of respite as a stepping stone to unleashing the full fury of winter’s wrath.

Restful Studies

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you become more adept at using your resting time. You only need a minimum of 6 hours of total downtime, including 4 hours of sleep (or 3 hours of meditation if you are an elf), to gain the benefits of a long rest, and half an hour of downtime to gain the benefits of a short rest. The time you need to spend to copy a spell into your spellbook is reduced by half.
  
  Additionally, at 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th level you gain an additional Hit Die. These bonus Hit Dice do not affect your hit point maximum, but you can spend them during a short rest or to power certain features. These bonus Hit Dice are always regained alongside the normal number of Hit Dice you regain when you take a long rest.

Wrathful Conduit

• Starting at 2nd level, you can draw upon potential recuperation and turn it into immediate arcane power. When you expend Hit Dice using this feature, you don’t regain hit points. You can use only one of the following options on a spell when you cast it. 
  • When you cast a spell, you can expend one wizard Hit Die to cast it without any somatic or verbal components. 
  • When you cast a spell that deals damage, you can expend any number of wizard Hit Dice to increase the total damage dealt by the spell by an amount equal to the rolled total of all Hit Dice expended in this way.
  • When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can expend one wizard Hit Die to increase the saving throw DC of the spell by 1.

Winter Reserves

• Starting at 6th level, you have learned to stockpile arcane energy and draw upon the power of this potential. As long as you have three spell slots remaining, you gain the following benefits: 
  • You have +1 bonus to saving throws. 
  • While you are not wearing any armor, you have a +2 bonus to AC. 
  • You add your Intelligence modifier to the damage you deal with any wizard spell.

Arcane Stitching

• Beginning at 10th level, your stored arcane energy works to heal your wounds. if you start your turn with less than half of your maximum hit point value and your Winter Reserves feature is active, you regain hit points equal to your proficiency modifier. You don’t gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points.
  
  Additionally, when you take a short rest, you regain the maximum number of hit points possible from any Hit Dice you spend.

Wrathbearer

• At 14th level, your ability to hold and stockpile has taught you how to keep only what you need, and to turn the rest into a surge of arcane force. Once per turn when you cast a spell, you can release a wave of energy using one or both of the following options: 
  • When you cast a spell, you can expend any number of wizard Hit Dice to push creatures away from you. Choose any number of creatures within 30 feet of you that you can see. Each creature must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be pushed a distance in feet equal to the rolled result of the Hit Dice expended.
  • When you cast a spell, you can expend a spell slot to deal damage to creatures around you. Choose any number of creatures within 30 feet of you that you can see. Each creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 1d8 force damage per level of the spell slot expended on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success- ful one.

School of Immortality [Wizard]

Most ascribe life and death to the dominion of clerics and gods. Wizards of the Immortality tradition contest this, focusing their studies between the schools of necromancy and transmutation to circumvent mortality. The tradition teaches methods by which Immortalists reduce divine magic to its arcane base. Some seek the tradition for themselves, while others hope to bring the information locked behind religion to the masses. As adventurers, they focus on using arcane healing and changing their bodies as dangers arise.

Eternal Acolyte

• Beginning at 2nd level, you have unlocked the divine's unique methods of affecting the body. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can add a cleric spell from the necromancy or transmutation school to your spellbook instead of a spell from the Wizard spell list. This spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Arcane Bloodwell

• At 2nd level, you learn to infuse yourself with arcane energy as a means of sustaining your body and prolonging your life. As a bonus action, you can expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.

Liberated Anatomy

• Starting at 6th level, you learn to push your body beyond its limits while arcane energy flows through it. When you cast a spell with a range of self, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus to your AC or advantage on either Strength or Dexterity saving throws for the spell's duration.
  
  Additionally, your hit point maximum increases by 8.

Unfettered Mortality

• At 10th level, you conquer mortality's typical chains. You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, though you can do so if you choose to. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you can't be magically aged.

Soul Safe

• When you reach 14th level, you bind your soul to an object of your choice that holds sentimental value. By completing an uninterrupted ritual over the course of 12 hours, you infuse a Tiny nonmagical object with your life energy. The object has an AC of 21, 10 hit points, immunity to poison and psychic damage, and resistance to all other damage. If you infuse a second object in this way, the first loses its magical power.

School of Kinetomancy [Wizard]

Kinetomancers are a branch of wizards that focus on the dynamics of magic when it is pulled into existence. They study its physical consequences, how it pushes and pulls the area around it, and how to account for the sudden influx of forces upon casting it. Kinetic-focused magic comes with the potential to push reality beyond what’s written in any spellbook, given the right calculations and timing.

Kinetomancy Savant

• At 2nd level, all spells that use a spell attack are considered to be on the wizard spell list for you. These spells are considered wizard spells for you and can be added to your spellbook, but other wizards can’t copy these spells from your spellbook into their own spellbook. Additionally, when you learn new spells of 1st level and higher, you can learn 1 additional spell if it is from the school of abjuration. 

Kickback

• At 2nd level, you learn to amplify the influx of kinetic energy your magic creates. If you successfully hit a Large or smaller target with a spell attack, you can choose to push it up to 5 feet away from you. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. The kickback distance increases to 10 feet and can affect Huge or smaller targets when you reach 10th level. At 14th level, the kickback distance increases to 15 feet, and you can affect Gargantuan or smaller targets.

Arcane Momentum

• At 6th level, you can tap into the energy of a spell in motion and redirect it before it dissipates. Whenever you fail to hit a creature with a ranged spell attack, you can use your reaction to attempt to redirect the spell toward a different target you can see within 30 feet of the original target. You must make a new spell attack roll for the new target.
  
  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain uses of this feature when you complete a long rest.

Reactive Force

• At 10th level, energy directed toward you can be collected and sent back in kind. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack, all creatures of your choice within 5 feet of you take 2d8 force damage.

Kinesia-Aria

• At 10th level, you gain the ability to manifest wings of kinetic energy. As a bonus action, you can manifest a pair of wings that grant you a 30-foot flying speed until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. 

Kinetic Transfer

• At 14th level, when you successfully hit a creature with a ranged spell attack, you can forgo your kickback to slam them with the full force of the spell’s potential energy. Make an ability check with your spellcasting ability contested by the creature’s Strength check. If you win the contest, you move the creature in a single direction up to a number of feet equal to the spell range minus the distance between you and the target. The target takes 1d6 force damage for every 10 feet it is pushed in this way, to a maximum of 20d6.
  
  If you lose the contest, the creature is moved half that distance and does not take force damage.
  
  Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or a long rest.

School of the Living Grimoire [Wizard]

While many experts of magic seek its secrets reading between the lines of old texts and researching the truths of ancient practices, there are those who appreciate that true omnipotent magic can only be witnessed during the convergence of leylines. By studying these invisible threads of the Weave and their ever-changing patterns, they develop a unique understanding of magic. In order to employ this knowledge, they imprint spells on their flesh, mimicking the patterns they have witnessed and infusing them with ever flowing magic, seeking to create new and wondrous effects.

Second Skin

• By studying the magic of the leylines and interpreting their movements and convergences, wizards of this order have learned a unique way to understand and depict their spells. Upon joining this tradition at level 2, you no longer use a regular spellbook. Instead, from now on you write your spells on your own body. These spells are written as lines and sigils reminiscent of the depictions of magical leylines. All spells on your previous spellbook are automatically written on you in this way. Any new spells learned must become part of your Second Skin. Since you only need ingredients for experimentation and not rare inks to inscribe spells in this way, the gold you must spend to copy any spell is halved.
  
  Additionally, whenever you are the subject of a critical hit, a spell written on you is damaged at random. The spell becomes unusable until you spend the time required to inscribe it again. You do not require costly materials to inscribe a spell you already knew.
  
  You also gain proficiency with Calligrapher’s supplies or Painter’s supplies if you don’t already have it.

Body of Mana

• Beginning at 2nd level, the spells that cover your skin are inscribed in such a way that they form offensive and protective sigils, empowering it greatly. While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier. In addition, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes, which deal 1d4 damage plus additional force damage equal to twice the highest available spell slot you currently have. The damage die increases to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level and to 1d10 at 17th level.
  
  This feature’s effects are negated inside an area of antimagic. In addition, if you are successfully targeted by dispel magic against a DC of 10 + the highest spell slot level you currently have available, they stop functioning until you complete a long rest.

Extra Attack

• 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.
  
  Your unarmed strikes and any weapon you wield count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Runes of Warding

• By 10th level, your magical inscriptions have grown in number and allow you to form defensive sigils as they cross each other. Whenever you are the subject of an attack, you may as a reaction activate one of these sigils, by choosing a prepared spell. You gain a bonus to your AC equal to the level of the spell until the start of your next turn. However, the inscriptions of that spell are damaged from the mana overcharge, and the spell cannot be used until you finish a long rest.
  
  You can use Runes of Protection a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, regaining all expended uses upon finishing a long rest.

Runomancy

• At level 14, you have learned how to activate your inscribed spells by simply touching them. You may cast any spell you know using only somatic components. You must still provide any material components with a cost of 100 gp or more.
  
  Additionally, once per long rest you may cast a spell as a bonus action. This spell must include you as a target and can target only willing creatures. Casting this spell does not prevent you from casting another spell during this turn, even if that spell is not a cantrip.

School of the Mageseeker [Wizard]

The kingdom of Ensvale is staunchly anti-magic. Starting as a refuge from the Rune Wars, they have developed several ways to contain the arcane gifts that some are born with. The only official way to openly harness magic in Ensvale is to be trained as a Mageseeker, a member of the institution dedicated to containing errant magics throughout the kingdom. Whether a Mageseeker is still loyal to the crown, or have set out on their own, their magical skill speaks for itself.

Inquisitor's Eye

• Beginning at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in Investigation (Intelligence), Insight (Wisdom), and Perception (Wisdom) checks.

Improved Arcane Recovery

• At 2nd level, when you use your Arcane Recovery feature, the combined level of spells you can regain is increased by half your proficiency bonus, rounded up (minimum of 1).

Magical Foresight

• Starting at 6th level, when you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes a spell attack or a saving throw against a magical effect, you can use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.
  
  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Spellcraft Mantle

• At 10th level, as an action, you can expend a spell slot of any level. For the next minute, you can't be affected or detected by spells a level lower than the spell slot you expended, unless you wish to be. You have advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects for the duration.
  
  When you reach 14th level, this feature extends to any creature of your choice within 10 feet.
  
  You can use this feature once, regaining the ability to do so when you use your Arcane Recovery feature or when you take a long rest.

Master Seeker

• When you reach 14th level, when you make an ability check using your Intelligence, including as part of a spell, you add your Intelligence modifier an additional time.

School of Mimic Magic [Wizard]

Few monsters are as emblematic to dungeon delving as the mimic. As fluid shapeshifters, capable of replicating any object or fixture, these curious predators have made themselves a bane to adventurers everywhere. Innumerable histories trace the origin of this age-old monstrosity to a lesser-known wizard, mad tyrant, or sorcerer-king, who constructed the creature from vile magics long ago.

Such tales have led many spellcasters throughout the realms to cultivate a morbid fascination for mimics and their ecology, attempting to emulate the original witchcraft through mad experimentation with shapechanging beings.

After fully delving into occult magic, wizards of this deranged tradition have developed rituals to transform their own spellbooks into unprecedented hybrids, which are able to feed off the surrounding mana. The holder of such a macabre creation means to harness the power of mimics in its purest form, by tuning the species’ anatomy to suit their own crazy blend of sorcery.

Monster Tongue

• When you adopt this tradition at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill; and you learn to speak, read, and write either Abyssal or Undercommon.

Mimic Grimoire

• Starting at 2nd level, you learn a corrupted ritual that summons and infuses abyssal living matter into your spellbook, transforming it into a Mimic Grimoire.

Mana Devouring

• At 6th level, you’re able to use your grimoire’s hunger to your advantage, having it feed on your target’s essence in order to replenish your own.

Spell Mimicry

• At 10th level, whenever a creature within 20 feet of you casts a spell of a level for which you have spell slots, you can use your reaction to have your mimic grimoire absorb that spell’s essence, temporarily adding it to your list of prepared spells.

Two Mouths are Better than One

• At 14th level, you wholly ingratiate yourself into your mimic magic, surpassing the limits of a wizard’s mind through it. You learn a ritual to summon a second mimic grimoire, performing it over the course of 8 hours, which can be done during a long rest. Once the ritual is completed, you gain the following benefits:
  • Your mimic grimoires gain a flying speed of 15 feet (hover), and they now float around your hands when held by you. Additionally, they have hearing and darkvision out to a range of 30 feet, understand Abyssal and Undercommon, and can communicate telepathically with you as long as you are within 100 feet of them. They always obey your commands, even on a starved state.
  • While holding both grimoires, when using Mana Devouring, you always steal a spell slot of the highest level that your target possesses, and your life force draining increases to 1d8 hit points per level of the spell you cast. Spell slots with a higher level than your highest spell known can be stolen once per target, fade after 1 hour, and may be maintained only one at a time.
  • While holding both grimoires, you can absorb spells of any level with Spell Mimicry. Additionally, if you have the required slots for it, you can now permanently add the absorbed spell to your second grimoire’s list of spells known. This can be done only once per long rest.

School of Mnemomancy [Wizard]

Wizards of the School of Mnemomancy wield the magic of memory, capable of being both bastions of knowledge and infiltrators of minds. As a mnemomancer, you augment your own ability to recall knowledge and experiences, while sealing the memories of your foes. As your mastery grows, you gain the ability to vividly experience others’ memories and borrow their capabilities, as well as alter memories as you see fit.

Mind Palace

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, your memories are magically organized and stored within your mind for near perfect recall. When you make an Intelligence check to recall information or other memories, you can add your proficiency bonus to the check if you wouldn’t normally add your proficiency bonus.

Recollection Snag

• Also starting at 2nd level, you can magically search a creature’s memories and seal a facet of its knowledge. As an action, you can expend a spell slot and force a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, you learn if the creature knows any spells or has any prepared and what those spells are, what languages it knows, and what skill and weapon proficiencies it has. You choose a combined number of spells, languages, and proficiencies up to the level of the expended spell slot for the creature to lose for 1 hour. The creature can’t cast any lost spell, benefit from any lost proficiency, or understand, speak, or write any lost language for the duration. As an action on its turn, an affected creature can repeat the saving throw, ending this feature’s effects on itself on a success.

Shared Reminiscence

• Starting at 6th level, you can borrow memories from others to augment your own abilities. You can perform a 10 minute ritual with a willing creature, remaining within 5 feet of it for the duration. At the end of the ritual, the creature can share any number of the spells it knows or has prepared, any number of languages it knows, and any number of skill and tool proficiencies it has. You choose one of the shared spells, languages, or proficiencies to gain for yourself. The creature can also choose to share a memory that lasted no longer than 10 minutes, which you experience with perfect clarity through the creature’s eyes.
  
  If you choose to gain a cantrip, language, or proficiency, you have it until you use this feature to gain a different one of the same category.
  
  If you choose to gain a spell of 1st level or higher, it counts as being prepared for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. The combined level of spells you have through this feature can’t exceed half your wizard level (rounded up). If you use this feature to gain a spell that would cause your total to exceed the maximum, you must choose a number of spells gained through this feature to lose until the total is within your maximum.
  
  Each spell you gain using this feature counts as a wizard spell for you until you lose it.

Mental Block

• Starting at 10th level, you ward your mind against intrusion. You are immune to any effect that would magically sense your emotions, read your thoughts, or cause you to become charmed or frightened.

Memory Manipulation

• At 14th level, you become able to alter fine details of memories, not just read them. You always have the modify memory spell prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. When you cast the spell, you don’t need to provide its verbal components, the target doesn’t have advantage on its saving throw against the spell due to you fighting it, you can telepathically speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and the target doesn’t need to understand the language you are speaking for the modified memories to take root.
  
  Additionally, you can cast modify memory without expending a spell slot, as if you had expended the highest level spell slot you have. Once you do, you can’t cast the spell without expending a spell slot again until you finish a long rest.

School of Myomancy [Wizard]

The study of magic is thought to be a purely mental exercise, one which would not require the body to be in any particularly good shape. Those who follow the tradition of myomancy reject this claim, asserting the body’s importance in the act of magic through various factors, such as somatic components or even the potency of blood for certain spells. Regardless of the truth of this, this tradition has produced a very strange variety of wizard, wholly unrecognizable to the layman who imagines a bearded man in a robe and pointed hat. Indeed, a myomancer is characterized by bulging muscle and deliberate, powerful movements, willing to wander into the thick of things to practice their magic, casting spells with powerful punches and kicks from which their spells explode forth, sometimes with catastrophic power. So now have you taken this strange tradition.

Muscular Magic

• Starting at 2nd level when you take this tradition, the fundamental ways you cast magic change entirely. Your spellcasting ability for your Wizard spells becomes Strength, replacing Intelligence totally in the casting of your spells. If a Wizard feature specifies Intelligence for anything, you use Strength instead. You also gain 6 additional hit points, and whenever you gain a level in this class, you gain 1 additional hit point.

Weight Advantage

• Also at 2nd level, your method of magic has suffused your muscles down to the last fiber. While you are wearing no armor, your Armor Class equals 14 + your Dexterity modifier and are constantly under the effects of the jump spell, and you gain proficiency in the Athletics (Strength) skill.

Casting Might

• Starting at 6th level, you may treat your body as a spellcasting focus for the purposes of casting Wizard spells, and as a weapon when targeted by your own spells. Your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws to maintain concentration.
  
  In addition, you gain proficiency in either Strength or Constitution saving throws (choose one). At 14th level, you gain proficiency in the type of saving throw you didn’t choose earlier in this feature.

The Power of the Body

• Starting at 10th level, you may cast all spells with somatic components using your Muscular Magic feature, not just spells with a single target. The following are the changes:
  • It must still have a casting time of 1 action. 
  • If a spell has an area of effect, it becomes centered on that creature if it’s a sphere, and must use its space as the first space for cones and lines. 
  • You are immune to any damage your own spells would deal to you, and you may choose whether an effect applies to you.
  • This spell doesn't have to deal damage.
  • If the spell normally deals no damage, the target takes 1d8 force damage when you hit with the melee spell attack.

True Power

• At 14th level, whenever you roll a critical hit using the unarmed attack granted by your Muscular Attack feature, you may choose up to two of the following, when applicable:
  • Double the damage of the spell.
  • Double the duration of the spell.
  • Double the size of any area of effect within the spell’s description.

Wizardry Without Intelligence

School of the Mystic Arts [Wizard]

You’ve studied the Mystic Arts, the most ancient form of magic. Bringing back spells that were thought to be lost to time, curses to prevent thieves from taking your arcane armaments from you, and even bending the laws of reality to aid you. Your knowledge and power charge you with a new duty - the defense of this world from threats from all kinds of threats. 

Mystic Arts

• Starting from 2nd level you gain a collection of Mystic Arts that you can use to assist you in battle. You can use these Mystic Arts a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining the uses after a long rest. 
  • Minor Gateway. You create two 5-foot wide gateways within 30 feet of each other until the end of your next turn. When a creature passes through one gateway, they emerge on the other side. Upon casting you choose which side of each gateway links the two. The remaining sides appear as black voids and cannot be entered. 
  • Platform. You can use an action to create a series of arcane sigils that float in the air. You create 5 of these sigils, each with a 5-foot wide circular radius. These sigils last until the end of your next turn. 
  • Shield. You can use a bonus action to create a shield in your off-hand, increasing your AC by 1. While this shield is active you can use your reaction to add +2 to your AC against a single melee attack. You must use your bonus action at the start of subsequent turns to maintain the shield. 
  • Tether. You can make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 10 feet of you. If you hit the creature must make a Strength saving throw or be grappled by you. You can use a bonus action on the subsequent turn to maintain this grapple. The creature can use an action to repeat the saving throw. 

Offense and Defense

• When you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy evocation and abjuration spells into your spellbook is halved. 

Wizard's Arsenal

• Starting from 6th level you can attune to two additional magic items.
  
  Additionally, you can mark your attuned magical items with a Wizard’s Curse. Any creature attempting to remove them from your body suffers 1d8 fire damage. You can curse a number of items equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded up. 

The Path Taken

• Starting at 10th level, you stand at the crossroads of the mystic arts with a difficult choice, to embrace all of the mystic arts including the dark arts, or to stay on the path of light. Choose from one of the following features.
  • Forbidden Form: Shadow Wizard. You can use your action to transform into a shadow demon. You gain the creature’s abilities and statistics but retain your alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You can cast spells in this form. You can remain in this form for a number of rounds equal to your wizard level, and you can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and you regain all expended uses after a long rest. 
  • Portals of Light. You gain the ability to teleport multiple people through portals. As an action, you can teleport yourself and up to three willing creatures within 5 feet of you to a point within 120 feet that you can see. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. 

Supreme Arts

• Starting from 14th level you gain a collection of Supreme Arts. You can use these Supreme Arts a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier. 
  • Clone Self. You use a bonus action to create a duplicate of yourself to assist you. The next time you make a spell attack roll you gain +5 to the roll, or if force a creature to make Strength, Dexterity or Constitution saving throw they suffer a -3 penalty to their roll. 
  • Major Gateway. As an action, you create two 15 foot wide gateways within 300 feet of each other. When a creature passes through one gateway, they emerge on the other side. Upon casting you choose which side of each gateway links the two. The remaining sides appear as black voids and cannot be entered. 
  • Mirror World. You can use an action to create a temporary extraplanar space. This extra planar space exists in a 30 foot radius around you and resembles the material plane. Creatures inside this radius cannot effect creatures or objects outside the extraplanar space. 

School of Negation [Wizard]

You focus your study on understanding the concepts that led to the establishment of this school as well as its practical uses. You seek to normalize the idea that negation is simply a part of life, rather than the thought that wizards who engage in negation are targets to be hunted down. Most negation wizards either attempt to find a patron to shield them from being hunted and employ their talents at whatever that patron wishes, or they try to attract as little notice as possible, even going so far as to learn the skills of rogues or fighters simply for purposes of camouflage. Since carrying a shield is detrimental to their spellcasting abilities, they focus on singlehanded or dual-wielding forms. 

Those who follow the path of negation are rebels, iconoclasts, troublemakers — those who oppose or feel disdain for the conventions of arcane practices. Most traditional magic schools refuse to teach negation magic, and wizards’ guilds encourage rulers to declare negation to be illegal. Some even surreptitiously offer bounties to those who will hunt down and dispose of negation casters — in this case “dispose of” means anything from severe beatings, deportation, to outright assassination. 

With such prejudice and outright hatred from the mainstream arcane community, most negation wizards must pass their secrets on in private as only a handful of educational institutions even acknowledge that negation magic exists. Usually, an accomplished negator takes a single apprentice, passing on secrets in secure locations, often in the dead of night, safe from outside intrusion and observation. In many kingdoms, punishment for such instruction, or for the very practice of negation, is severe, often forcing negators to live an itinerant lifestyle, moving from place to place, selling their services in secret and only to the most trusted of employers. Negators also often seek out the relative safety and security of roving bands of adventurers who are usually far less particular with whom they associate. 

Negation 

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain the ability to expend spell slots to negate the damage or effects from spells. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is damaged or otherwise affected by a spell, you can use your reaction to expend one or more spell slots to negate the magic on that creature. If you choose to reduce the damage received by the creature, you can reduce it by 1d8 hit points for each spell slot level you expend. For example, if you use two 1st-level slots or one 2nd-level slot, you reduce the damage by 2d8 hit points. Alternatively, you can cancel the effect on a creature from a spell of the same level as the spell slot you expend. If a creature is affected by charm person, you can negate the charm by using a 1st-level spell slot. To negate the effect of invisibility, you would have to expend a 2nd-level spell slot. 

Negated Arcane Recovery 

• Beginning at 6th level, you have learned to regain some of your magical energy by absorbing magic. When you successfully negate any spell damage or effect, you may recover spell slots equal to or less than one-half the level of the spell you negated (minimum one). These spell slots are available immediately. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. You regain all uses of this ability after a long rest. This is in addition to your normal arcane recovery 

Token of Inconsequence 

• Beginning at 10th level, you have experienced enough negation, both on your own and “in the wild,” as it were, that you understand the processes behind creating a magical item imbued with negation magic. Once per day, you may create a token of inconsequence (see below). If you create a second token while the first still exists, it explodes based on the amount of energy it currently contains.
  
  Far from an apt description, this magic item’s name is more of a description of its intended purpose. The item may be anything: an enchanted coin, a rock, a broom … anything.
  
  When you create the item, you choose whether to arm it. In either case, the token gains 1d6 charges for each of your wizard levels.
  
  Any time detect magic or a similar divination spell is cast within 30 feet of the token, the spell is absorbed and has no effect. The token loses a number of charges equal to the spell slot level used to cast the spell.
  
  Any time dispel magic or a similar abjuration spell is cast within 30 feet of the token, the spell is absorbed and has no effect. The token loses a number of charges equal to three times the spell slot level used to cast the spell.
  
  If the token does not have enough charges to fully cancel the spell cast, the spell’s effect functions as normal.
  
  If you choose to arm the token, it has the following power:
  
  Any spell from a school other than divination or abjuration that is cast within 30 feet of the token is absorbed by the token and has no effect. The token loses a number of charges equal to five times the spell slot level used to cast the spell. A successful Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 plus the spell slot level used to cast the spell permits a creature to understand what happened to the spell. If all the token’s charges are used up, the token explodes. All creatures within 30 feet of the token must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature that fails takes an amount of force damage equal to the initial number of charges on the token, while a creature that succeeds takes half this amount. 

Negate Enchantment

• Beginning at 14th level, you have surpassed normal expectations involving negation. You have previously created items that can store negation magic. Now, through your learning and expertise, you have gained the ability to negate magical items. When you cast dispel magic, you add your proficiency modifier to your spellcasting ability check.
  
  In addition, if you are successful, you regain spell slots equivalent to half the level of the spell or magical effect that you dispel. In addition, you have discovered how to negate attunement restrictions on magical items. This power enables you to remove whatever class-, race-, or alignment-based attunement restrictions exist on a magic object. For instance, only a paladin can attune to a holy avenger. Successfully negating attunement would allow any creature to attune to it.
  
  To attempt this, you must first remain undisturbed for one day in a safe location with the item. You may eat, drink, read, sleep, talk, drink potions, etc., but may not leave the area or perform any strenuous activity.
  
  At the end of this 24-hour period, you may attempt to negate the attunement restrictions on the item in question. You make an ability check with your proficiency modifier similar to when you cast dispel magic, but you have advantage on the check. If the check fails, you cannot try again until after you have completed a long rest and spent another 24-hour period communing with the item. The effect is permanent on items other than artifacts. An intelligent item that can make saving throws may attempt a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC to resist this effect. 

School of the Oases [Wizard]

As an Oeases Sage, you have taken upon youself to seek out those lost among the dunes of brutal deserts. To these folk, you are the oasis, as you give the m food, water, and help them find their way. You are the emobodiment of survival.

Wellspring of Nourishment

• Upon adopting this arcane tradition at 2nd level, you learn the magical practice of conjuration for the purposes of nourishment and restoration.
  
  You learn the create and destroy water, gentle repose, and goodberry spells. You always have these spells prepared and they do not count against the number of spells you know or can prepare.
  
  Additionally, you learn the shape water cantrip. This does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Desert Wanderer

• Also at 2nd level, your time dwelling the desert dunes has inured you to hot climates. You no longer suffer the ill effects of extremely hot temperatures.
  
  You gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Athletics, Medicine, Nature, or Survial. Additionally, you can add your intelligence modifier in Survival (Wisdom) and Perception (Wisdom) checks.
  
  Lastly, the gold and time you must spend to copy any Oases spell into your spellbook is halved. The spells in the Oases Spells table below are considered wizard spells for you and can be added to your spellbook, but other wizards can’t copy these spells from your spellbook into their own spellbooks.
  • Oases Spells
  • Spell Level - Spell
  • 1st - detect poison and disease, fog cloud, frost fingers, ice knife, purify food and drink
  • 2nd - animal messenger, dust devil, pass without trace, Rime's binding ice, summon beast

  • 4th - control water, freedom of movement, watery sphere
  • 5th - commune with nature
  • 6th - bones of the earth, druid grove, find the path, heroes feast, transport via plants, wall of ice
  • 7th - regenerate
  • 8th - control weather, tsunami
  • 9th - storm of vengeance

Diviner, Walker

• Starting at 6th level, you have learned the best ways how to navigate difficult and treacherous landscapes. Difficult terrain no longer hinders you movement speed. Creatures that mimic your same movement path until the start of your next turn also gain this benefit.
  
  Additionally, you gain the ability to dowse for the presence of water. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to any bodies of water within 1 mile of you. You know the rough size and shape of any water bodies you detect, as well as if they are potable, freshwater, or saltwater, and the compass direction of any persistent flow, such as that of a river. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Water Wizard

• Beginning at 10th level, your ability to create water can now be used as an offensive ability. Whenever you cast the spell create and destroy water, you can concentrate on the spell for up to 1 minute and create one of the following effects:
  • Create. You cause acid rain to fall. A creature that starts its turn within the area takes 2d4 acid damage at the start of its turn, and an additional 1d4 acid damage for every 5 feet it moves.
  • Destroy. You cause the water within the area to boil rapidly. Any creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d6 fire damage, or half as much on a success.

Golden Goodberry

• Once you reach 14th level, your nourishing ability is enhanced significantly. The berries you create when casting the goodberry spell now offer the following advantages:
  • Each berry now grants additional hit points equal to your spell modifier. 
  • Eating a berry enhances one's prowess, allowing those who eat the goodberry have their next attack or Dexterity saving throw (whichever is first) with advantage).
  • Eating a berry cures the poisoned condition. 
  • Eating a berry now only requires a bonus action. 
  • Eating five berries cures any non-magical disease.
  • Eating ten berries can reduce the creature's exhaustion levels by 1.
  • Eating ten berries ends the blinded, deafened, or paralyzed condition.
  • Eating forty berries applies the effects of the greater restoration spell.

School of Origami [Wizard]

Origami Mages are wielders of a unique form of magic that combines precision, creativity, and imagination. With a flick of their wrist and a whisper of arcane words, they transform simple sheets of paper into awe-inspiring manifestations of elemental forces, mystical beings, and fantastical creatures. 

Drawing inspiration from the mysterious elegance of origami, these mages are not bound by traditional spell components but instead rely on the meticulous manipulation of paper to channel their magical energies. Origami magic is not without its challenges. Mastery of this arcane discipline demands patience, dexterity, and a keen eye for detail. Each fold must be precise, each crease exact, for even the smallest imperfection can disrupt the flow of magic and render a spell ineffective. Yet, for those who persevere, the rewards are boundless. 

Arcane Art

• At 2nd level, you learn to weave magic into origami, allowing you to create magnificent moving art pieces, which act on your behalf. As a bonus action, you can fold and imbue life into a paper construct that takes a form you choose from the list below. When crafted, an origami construct becomes bound to you or another creature of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you.
  
  A creature with a bound origami construct gains the unique effects and features listed for that construct. A creature can’t have more than one of the same origami construct bound to it at a time, unless stated otherwise. A bound construct occupies the same space as the creature it’s bound to.
  
  These constructs stay imbued with life for a number of hours equal to half your wizard level. Origami constructs have an AC equal to your spell save DC, are immune to poison and psychic damage, and are destroyed when they take any damage. You can use this feature to create an origami construct a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
  
  Origami Constructs

The constructs are presented in alphabetical order. 

• Bird. While the origami bird is bound to your person, you gain proficiency in the Perception skill. Additionally, you deal an additional 2 slashing damage whenever you hit a target with a ranged attack.

• Cat. While the origami cat is bound to your person, you gain proficiency in the Stealth skill. Additionally, once on each of your turns when you hit a target with a melee weapon attack, the origami cat can make a melee spell attack against the same target. Its attack modifier is equal to your weapon attack modifier, and on a hit, the target takes 1d6 slashing damage. The origami cat’s damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 11th level, and 1d12 at 17th level. 

• Crab. While the origami crab is bound to your person, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC and proficiency in the Athletics skill. If the wizard that crafted this origami crab creates another, this origami crab is destroyed. 

• Dragon. While the origami dragon is bound to your person, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can’t benefit from being invisible. Additionally, you take 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of your turns. You can have multiple origami dragons bound to you at the same time. When the construct is destroyed, it quickly pops in an audible explosion, dealing 2d6 fire damage to each creature within 5 feet of it. 

• Frog. While the origami frog is bound to your person, you gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. As a reaction, when you would fail a Dexterity saving throw, you can add a bonus to the roll equal to the spellcasting ability modifier of the wizard that crafted the construct; using this feature destroys the origami frog. 

Origami Familiar

• At 2nd level, you learn the find familiar spell; you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. Your familiar appears as an origami version of itself, is immune to poison and psychic damage, and is a construct, instead of a celestial, fey, or fiend. In addition to the familiar’s normal statistics, it also gains access to the following abilities. 
  • Camouflage. You can command your familiar to shift into a flattened paper form. In this form the familiar looks nearly indistinguishable from a normal piece of paper. If a creature uses its action to examine the familiar, it can discern the familiar for what it is with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. The familiar can use an action to shift back into its origami form. 
  • Last Resort. As an action, your origami familiar can dive toward a creature, unfurling itself and wrapping around the target’s face, as if a sheet of paper blown by the wind. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or become blinded for 1 minute. A creature blinded by the paper or one that can touch the creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target is no longer blinded. When this effect ends, your familiar is destroyed. 
  • Reconnaissance. As an action, you can command your familiar to spy. The origami familiar will then spend 1 minute listening to any and all sounds within 15 feet of itself, recording what is overhears on its paper body. It then returns to you and dispels its familiar form, leaving behind a transcript of its findings written in a language of your choice that you know. 

Binding Release: Paper Path

• Starting at 6th level, you can use a bonus action to move one of your origami constructs to a creature that you can see within 30 feet of it. 

Origami Servant 

• Beginning at 10th level, you learn the unseen servant spell; you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. In addition, you can cast it without expending a spell slot, but the maximum number of servants you can have at a time is equal to half your wizard level (rounded up). When you cast it, it has the following changes: 
  • The spell lasts for a number of hours equal to your proficiency bonus, instead of 1 hour. 
  • Your servant appears as a visible origami version of itself. ◊ Your servant is immune to poison and psychic damage. 
  • Your servant can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
  • When you use your bonus action to command a servant, you can issue a unique command to each servant you have created as part of the same bonus action.
  •  Your servant falls at a rate of 60 feet per round and takes no falling damage. 
  • Your servant can see invisible creatures and objects as if they were visible. 
  • As an action, while your servant is within 100 feet of you, you can see through your servant’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the servant has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. 

Arcane Refresh

• At 14th level, your origami constructs return the magic you lent them when you imbued them with life whenever they are destroyed. When one of your constructs is destroyed, you can regain 10 hit points or regain a spell slot of 2nd level or lower (your choice). 

School of Reconstruction [Wizard]

You focus your study on manipulating magic in a way that turns the destructive power of arcane evocation into rejuvenating magic. For others, this gift manifests from faith, a pledge to a patron, or a deity’s behest. Many arcane colleges have unlocked these regenerative powers from tireless hours poring over holy texts and alchemical manuals. While most wizards find outlets as talented enchanters, military artillery, or ward-makers, the students of this school could apply their versatility to any employment in nearly every setting, even that of an adventurer.

Creation Savant

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy an evocation spell into your spellbook is halved.
  
  Additionally, you learn two cantrips and add one 1st- level spell to your spellbook from the cleric spell list. These spells are wizard spells for you, but other wizards can’t copy cleric spells from your spellbook into their own spellbooks.

Applied Reconstruction

• Starting at 2nd level, you can reverse the destructive force of your evocation spells, transforming their power into healing energy. When you cast an evocation spell of 1st level or higher that targets only one creature with an instantaneous duration that doesn’t require concentration, the target creature takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to half of the total.
  
  If the spell requires you to make an attack roll or requires a creature to make a saving throw, the creature can choose to be hit or fail the saving throw. The spell doesn’t impose any status conditions.
  
  Undead and constructs can't regain hit points in this way.

Prolonged Regeneration

• Beginning at 6th level, when you cast a wizard spell that restores hit points, a living creature affected by the spell continues to regenerate over the next 1d4 rounds. The creature regains hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier at the start of its turn, provided it has at least 1 hit point remaining.
  
  Additionally, while a creature is regenerates in this way, it‘s immune to disease and poison. If the creature is currently diseased or poisoned, any effects are suspended for the duration of its regeneration.

Blossom of Life

• Starting at 10th level, you can focus the healing energies around certain pockets within the effects of your evocation spells. When you cast an evocation spells that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell’s level to impose an effect that uses your wizard’s spell save DC. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws and take no damage from the spell. They also regain hit points equal to half the damage the spell would have dealt. Undead and constructs can't regain hit points in this way.

Overheal

• Starting at 14th level, you can increase the power of your simpler spells. When you cast a wizard spell of 5th level or lower that restores hit points, you can maximize the healing power of that spell.
  
  The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a long rest, you take 1d12 necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after the healing affect occurs. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.
  
  Additionally, you choose four spells from the cleric spell list to add to your spellbook, one from each of the following levels: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. These spells are wizard spells for you, but other wizards can’t copy cleric spells from your spellbook into their own spellbooks.

School of the Ring Warden [Wizard]

The dwarves long ago dicovered the means to infuse magic into rings, and the first ring wardens came into being soon after that discovery came to light.

With a focus on the school of transmutation, ring wardens blend dwarven craftsmanship with arcane might. They are rarely encountered outside the whole of Zroltol, but they are easy to recognize thanks to their signature ring-staves.

Transmutation Warden

• Starting at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy a transmutation spell into your spellbook is halved.
  
  Additionally, you gain proficiency in your choice of blacksmith's tools or jeweler's tools.

Bonded Ring-Staff

• At 2nd level, you create a special quarterstaff with two special metal rings adorning it. When you roll damage for a spell attack while you hold your ring-staff, you can add your proficiency bonus to the result. If the spell allows for multiple damage rolls against multiple targets (such as with scorching ray), you must choose which roll gains the benefit before you roll the die. You can use this ability a number of times equal to the number of rings on your staff. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
  
  Whenever you gain a new wizard level, you can attach a new ring to your staff by spending 8 hours of work with blacksmith’s tools or jeweler’s tools and paying a cost of 5 gp in raw materials. 

Master Metalsmith

• Beginning at 6th level, you can add twice your normal proficiency bonus when you use the tools you chose at 2nd level. When using your chosen tools to craft nonmagical or magical items, you make twice the normal amount of progress each day.
  
  Additionally, you learn the method for crafting a single kind of magic ring chosen from the following list: ring of jumping, ring of mind shielding, ring of protection, ring of the ram, ring of regeneration, or ring of resistance. At the GM's discretion, you can choose a ring not listed here. You must meet all the standard prerequisites for crafting te ring and pay the required gold as normal, along with providing any special materials or meeting any conditions set by the GM. 

Imbue Ring

• Starting at 10th level, you can imbue magic into the special rings that decorate your ring-staff. When you cast a spell, instead of having it take effect normally, you can choose to store the spell in one of the rings. As long as the spell is stored, you can't regain the expended spell slot. You can remove an imbued ring from the staff and give it to another creature (or hold it yourself) as an action. A creature holding an imbued ring can release the stored spell as an action. Attack rolls, saving throws, and damage are based on the caster who imbued the ring, but the creature holding the ring counts as the spell's caster for all purposes.
  
  After you remove an imbued ring from the staff, you must create a new special ring and affix it to the staff by working for 8 hours and spending 5 gp in raw materials. An imbued ring is considered a magical effect for the purpose of dispel magic. You can have a number of rings imbued at one item equal to your proficiency bonus.

Ring Bond

• At 14th level and higher, with 1 hour of work (which can be accomplished during a short rest), you can embed a single magic ring that you that you possess into your ring-staff. The ring's rarity must be common, uncommon, or rare. As long as you hold the ring-staff, you gain the effect of the embedded ring as if you were attuned to it and wearing it (including any negative effects of attuning to the item, such as curses). This embedded ring does not count as one of your three allowable attuned magic items.
  
  With one hour of work, you can remove an embedded ring (along with its attunement) and replace it with a new one if desired.

School of Rituals [Wizard]

Wizards spend their lives memorizing esoteric formulas that allow them to produce wondrous arcane effects. However, when produced spontaneously, spells are extremely taxing on the caster. To preserve their power, most wizards learn to cast ritual spells, spells that take longer to produce, but aren't as draining on a wizard's magical stamina. Some wizards, known as Ritualists, dedicate their lives to mastering the deliberate and reliable magic of ritual spellcasting.

Ritual Savant

• Starting at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy a ritual spell into your spellbook is halved.

Arcane Anthology

• You have learned to perform arcane rituals not normally known to wizards. At 2nd level, you add two 1st-level ritual spells of your choice from any spell list to your spellbook.

Accelerated Rituals

• You can accelerate the ritual process for spells with which you are exceptionally familiar. Beginning at 6th level, you can cast the ritual version of any 1st-level spell from your spellbook without the additional 10 minute casting time.

Formulaic Breakthrough

• Your deep knowledge of ritual magic allows you to ritualize even non-ritual spells. Starting at 10th level, you can cast any 1st-level spell in your spellbook as a ritual so long as it doesn't deal damage or require a saving throw.

Master Ritualist

• You have reached an unparalleled understanding of ritualistic magic and its applications. Beginning at 14th level, you can concentrate on the effects of up to two ritual spells at once.

Ritualists and Research

School of the Rune Forger [Wizard]

Since time immemorial, the dwarves have coveted their runes and heap scorn on those who make light of them. Some dwarves even draw power from runes; runes said to delineate a time before the first thought. 

Rune Forgers learn how to harness ripples in the Weave that persist after they cast a spell. They store this afterglow in the form of runes that take different shapes depending on the magic’s inert characteristic. The Rune Forgers primarily use their powers to support allies in times of war, but can find other applications when axes and shields rest. 

Collector of Runes

• Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to collect runes in an additional chapter of your spellbook. The pages depict the runes you have collected and are available to you. 

Power Well

• Also at 2nd level, storing different runes in your spellbook confers cumulative benefits to you. For each different rune after the 1st, at the beginning of your turn, you gain 1 temporary hit point and you may add 1 to Constitution saving throws you make to maintain concentration on your spells. 

Rune Words

• Beginning at 6th level, you learn how to forge rune words with effects that persist until you finish a long rest. When forging runes, you can expend three different runes to confer one of the following benefits to an item: 
  • You gain proficiency with a weapon or tool of your choice. 
  • As a bonus action, you can summon the item to your hands, if it is within 300 feet of you. 
  • The item gains a random benefit according to the Minor Beneficial Properties table in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide. 

Spliced Spell

• Starting at 10th level, you can choose to collect two runes when you successfully cast a spell of 1st level or higher that expends a spell slot. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. 

Master Forger

• Beginning at 14th level, you no longer need to make physical contact when forging your runes. As a bonus action, you can apply collected runes of your choice to an item within 30 feet of you that you can see. 

Runes

• Abjuration. Bara.
  As a reaction, you gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, or lightning damage (your choice). 

• Conjuration. Arau.
  As a bonus action, you teleport up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. 
• Divination. Thul.
  As a reaction, you can reroll a saving throw. You must choose to reroll the save before knowing if you succeeded. 
• Enchantment. Oluk.
  As a bonus action, you add 1d6 to a Charisma ability check. 
• Evocation. Dalub.
  Your next attack deals an additional 1 acid, cold, fire, or lighting damage (your choice). 
• Illusion. Xun.
  As a reaction, you lower the damage of an attack that hits you by 2d4. 
• Necromancy. Raugh.
  Your next attack deals an additional 1d4 necrotic damage. You gain temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt. 
• Transmutation. Aeth.
  As a reaction, you add 2 to your AC against an attack that would hit you. 

School of Sealing [Wizard]

This school of magic is all about enhancing or reducing the effects of spells by sealing them in a specific way. The wizards of this school usually work with spells from the school of abjuration and aim to provide better protection through magic. Wizards of this school are called sealers and are generally the protectors of the groups they are in.

Weakening Seal

• Starting at 2nd level, you can prevent a creature from using its powers. As a reaction, you can target a creature within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be affected by one of the following effects of your choice: 
  • The target’s speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn. 
  • The target has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes within 1 minute. 
  • The target takes 1d6 radiant damage. 
  • The target has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes within 1 minute.

Ritual of Protecting Seal

• Also at 2nd level, you can place a seal on objects to protect them against specific types of creatures. To do so, you perform a 1-hour ritual with the item and choose one of the following creature types; aberration, celestial, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, giant, monstrosity, ooze, or undead.
  
  If a creature of the chosen type tries to carry the item, it takes 4d6 force damage, and an extra 4d6 force damage at the start of each of its turns while carrying it.
  
  The sealed item retains its new properties for 1 week, for the duration of which it also becomes a magic item.
  
  The seal is visible to the naked eye, and a creature can discern the nature of the seal by means of a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check.
  
  The force damage increases to 5d6 at 10th, 6d6 at 14th, and 7d6 at 18th level.
  
  In addition, when you reach 14th level, the effects of the ritual become permanent, and you can seal the item against evil-aligned creatures instead of choosing a single creature type. Only you or a wish spell can dispel the effects of the ritual.
  
  Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest to do so again.

Interruptive Seal

• At 6th level, you learn to form a seal between a creature and magic. Whenever you cast the dispel magic or the counterspell spells, you can choose to have advantage on the ability check required by the spell.
  
  In addition, when you cast the banishment spell, the target has disadvantage on the Charisma saving throw, and you only have to keep it under the effect of the spell for 5 turns instead of 1 minute for the target to remain banished.
  
  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Detailed Knowledge of Sealing

• At 10th level, your knowledge of protection magic reaches immense heights, allowing you to cast an abjuration spell without expending a spell slot. Once you use this feature in this way, you must finish a long rest to do so again.
  
  In addition, choose one of the following creature types: aberration, celestial, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, giant, monstrosity, ooze, or undead. When you cast a spell that targets a creature of the chosen type, the target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn. You can change the chosen type of creature during a long rest.
  
  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses after you finish a long rest.

Master Sealer

• At 14th level, you can close planar gates, teleportation circles, and portals by performing a 1-hour ritual.
  
  You can also choose to close such gates and portals more quickly. As an action, you can expend a spell slot of 6th level or higher and consume spell components worth 500 gold pieces to close a planar gate or portal.
  
  When closed in this way, gates or portals are not destroyed and can be activated again.
  
  This feature does not work on the gates and portals created by gods or other prominent divine forces.

School of the Shinobi [Wizard]

Masters of illusion, guerilla warfare, and martial combat, Shinobi wizards are elusive tricksters and deadly warriors, striking in a furious onslaught of magic, weaponry, and acrobatics. They adopt a philosophy that unifies martial skill with spellcasting, empowering their blows with devastating magical enhancements before vanishing into darkness. A Shinobi’s unique abilities make them the ultimate artisans of espionage and infiltration, wielding deception, secrecy, and explosive aggression as lethal tools in their arsenal. 

Shinobi Training

• At 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armour, hand crossbows, Thrown weapons, and Finesse weapons; you gain proficiency with the Stealth skill; and you can use a weapon you are proficient with as your spellcasting focus. Finally, you gain darkvision out to 60 feet, or if you already have darkvision, its range is increased by 30 feet. 

Shadow Striker

• Also at 2nd level, you have learned the art of synchronising spellcasting and weaponry. Immediately after you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn, you can use a bonus action and expend one spell slot to deal extra damage to that target, equal to 1d8 damage per level of the spell slot expended. You can then perform one of the following techniques as a part of that bonus action: 
  • Cloud of Shadow. You create a small cloud of magical darkness, heavily obscuring the space you are currently occupying. This darkness lasts for 1 minute, and it ends early if you are knocked unconscious. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it. 
  • Enervating Touch. The sting of your blow magically saps the target’s strength. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your wizard spell save DC or take an extra 1d8 poison damage and be poisoned until the end of your next turn. 
  • Shadow Vanishing. You spend 10 feet of movement to teleport to an area of dim light or darkness you can see within 30 feet of you. 
  • Shadow Ward. Choose one damage type other than force or radiant. You gain resistance to that damage type until the start of your next turn. 

Extra Attack

• At 6th level, you can attack twice rather than once when you take the Attack action on your turn. In addition, magical darkness doesn’t impede your vision. 

Umbral Striker

• At 10th level, your command of shadow magic further enhances your lethal capabilities. You can now also choose from the following options when you use your Shadow Striker feature, but only if you empower your attack with a spell slot of 3rd level or higher. 
  • Duplicitous Strike. You move in a blur, sprouting magical images in the mind of your target. The target takes an extra 1d8 psychic damage, and it sees illusory duplicates of you until the end of its next turn. Whenever it targets you with an attack, it must roll a d4. On a 1-3, it targets a duplicate instead and the attack misses. 
  • Rapid Strikes. You magically strike with blistering speed. Make a weapon attack against a target within range. On a hit, that attack deals an extra 2d8 force damage. 
  • Vanish. A shimmering veil of abjuration magic bursts into existence around you. You gain 2d8 temporary hit points. In addition, you turn invisible until the end of your next turn. While invisible in this way, spells you cast don’t require any verbal or somatic components. 

Shadow Master

• At 14th level, the shadows are your eager servants. When another creature you can see moves into an area that is heavily obscured from an effect you have magically created or starts its turn there, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw against your wizard spell save DC (no action required). On a failure, the creature is restrained until the start of its next turn. A creature can be forced to make this saving throw no more than once per turn. 

School of Somnomancy [Wizard]

Somnomancers are an idiosyncratic bunch, given to fancies, daydreams, and odd sartorial choices, so it is no surprise that their subschool of magic is rarely accorded any respect by mages of other schools. Although their obsession with sleep is occasionally useful, such as when someone needs to be hypnotized or must have their dreams interpreted, it is more often a source of humor—much to the chagrin of so-called “pajama mages”!

Somnambulist

• Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, your mastery over sleep magic has rendered you a persistent sleep-walker. You gain the following benefits: 
  • While you are asleep, you can move around freely; you don’t fully perceive your environment while asleep, so you must navigate from memory. 
  • Additionally, you can copy spells to your spellbook while asleep. When determining whether you are surprised, you are always considered awake. 
  • If you are unconscious when you roll initiative, you can immediately enter into a trancelike state and can stand up if you choose. In this state, you are considered awake and aware of your surroundings. 
  • Lastly, you have full control of your own sleep. You can fall asleep immediately at will, and you can choose how long you will sleep for or what sorts of stimuli will wake you. Unless you choose otherwise, magic can’t put you to sleep.

Deep Sleep

• Also at 2nd level, you add the sleep spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. Whenever you cast this spell, it is improved in the following ways: 
  • The total number of hit points that can be affected is equal to double the number rolled on the dice. 
  • The radius of the spell is increased to 30 feet. 
  • You can freely choose the order in which creatures are affected by a sleep spell you cast.

Mesmerize

• Beginning at 6th level, by performing a repetitive action for 1 minute, you can hypnotize a willing creature within 60 feet that can see and hear you.
  
  While hypnotized by you, it is semi-conscious and charmed by you. Other spells and effects that charm the creature or influence its mind have no effect while the creature is hypnotized. If you choose, you can cause a creature to repeat its saving throw against these effects, ending an effect on itself on a success.
  
  The creature has the ability to perfectly recall its memories while hypnotized, including memories that have been magically altered or suppressed. While hypnotized, the creature will truthfully answer any question you pose to it.
  
  Lastly, you can specify a single command word to be embedded in the creature’s subconscious for up to 24 hours. The first time the creature hears the command word while it is not hypnotized, it immediately performs the single action or repeats a certain phrase that you specified while the creature was hypnotized. The creature performs this action or speaks this phrase even if the effects of a spell would compel them to act otherwise.
  
  The creature remains hypnotized by you for up to 1 hour, or until it takes damage or you end it early by saying a special command word.

Restorative Repose

• Also at 6th level, you add the catnap spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast catnap, you can target one additional creature and each affected target can choose to gain one of the following additional benefits: 
  • The target reduces its exhaustion level by one. 
  • The target rolls any hit dice it expends during the short rest twice, taking the higher of the two results for each die.

Dreamspeaker

• At 10th level, you add the spell dream to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast this spell, the messenger may jump between up to 12 creatures (each makes their saving throw against the spell separately), conversing with any or all of them. They can only appear monstrous to one of the targets, however, and the spell ends immediately after that option is utilized.

Fitful Slumber

• When you reach 14th level, you can give creatures that you put to sleep terrible nightmares. At the start of their turn, you can choose to make any creature that is under the influence of a sleep spell that you cast take 3d6 psychic damage. This damage can’t wake a creature up, nor can it reduce a creature below 1 hit point.

Doze

• Also at 14th level, you can briefly enter a sleeplike state and sort through your magical thoughts. As an action, you can choose a number of wizard spells you have prepared and replace each of them with another wizard spell from your spellbook. You can replace a number of spells with a combined level equal to your wizard level.
  
  Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

School of Sonomancy [Wizard]

While bards use enchanting melodies to cast their tantalizing spells, the wizards from the school of sonomancy view sound differently. While the songs of bards flow with emotion, the sounds of sonomancy vibrate with logic. They use their arcane abilities to create vibrating Sound Weapons, stop projectiles mid air, or cast their spells without the need for vocal components.

Wizards of this school are often found in battle, and many of them are battle-hardened veterans. Many foes of such wizards only hear a faint hum before realizing that a vibrating dagger has been plunged into their hearts.

Channeling Sound

• At 2nd level, you gain proficiency with one instrument of your choice, and you can use that instrument as a spellcasting focus.
  
  Furthermore, as you learn to shield yourself against forceful sounds preemptively, you gain resistance to thunder damage.

Sound Weapon

• Also at 2nd level, you learn how to control weapons with the vibrations of your magic. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon you are proficient with, which has the light property. The weapon becomes your Sound Weapon. You can also transform a magic weapon into a Sound Weapon.
  
  Using a bonus action, you can make your Sound Weapon vibrate, letting it float in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you for 1 minute. When you animate your Sound Weapon in this way, you can immediately make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the sound weapon.
  
  When attacking with your Sound Weapon in this way, it deals thunder damage instead of its original damage. Should the weapon have any additional effects, they apply as if you would be wielding or attacking with it normally.
  
  As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it.
  
  You can catch your Sound Weapon when it is within 5 feet of you and stop the vibrations as a free action. If you fall unconscious, your Sound Weapon drops to the ground in its floating space.
  
  You can use this feature to let your Sound Weapon float a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Protective Vibrations

• At 6th level, you can protect yourself from attacks by letting the air around you vibrate.
  
  When a creature hits you with a ranged weapon attack or a ranged spell attack, you can use your reaction to block the attack from truly reaching you. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Wizard level.

Perfect Pitch

• At 10th level, ou gain the abiliyt to distinguish sounds perfectly, and your mastery of vibrations reaches new heights. You can cast all your spells without requiring vocal components.
  
  Additionally, you gain advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing, and you gain blindsight to a range of 10 feet.

Additional Sound Weapon

• At 14th level, you can create an additional Sound Weapon.
  
  Using your bonus action, you can make both Sound Weapons vibrate and move each of your Sound Weapons up to 20 feet, and attack with both individually.

School of Spellshooting [Wizard]

Wizards who study under this tradition use their scholarly pursuits to seek the thrill of combat and the glory of victory. Magical dueling tournaments have become something of a popular sport for the masses to observe as the spectacular spells being thrown are amazing to behold. Practicing the fundamentals of magic and quick combat tactics to be sharper than any knight's blade, these arcane duelists known as spellshooters are respected and feared by any seasoned adventurer.

Wandsmith

• At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in woodcarver's tools and you can spend time over a short rest to create or enhance 1 wand or staff using woodcarver's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Quickshot

• Also at 2nd level, you can choose 2 cantrips from any spell list. These count as wizard spells for you and does not count against your total number of Cantrips Known.
  
  Additionally, whenever you cast a wizard cantrip that has a casting time of an action, you can change the casting time to a bonus action for that casting. 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. When you reach 10th level in this class, you regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.

Arcane Footwork

• Starting at 6th level, you weave magic into your every movement giving you unearthly speed. You can add your Intelligence modifier to your initiative rolls.
  
  Additionally, when you cast a wizard cantrip, immediately after casting the cantrip, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity.
  
  Lastly, as a reaction, when an enemy makes a melee attack against you, before being hit, if your speed is not 0, you can movc 5 feet away from the enemy without provoking attacks of opportunity, potentially avoiding the attack if you leave its range.

Advanced Duelist

• Starting at 10th level, with a flick of the wrist, you can command the weave without even thinking.
  
  You can cast a wizard spell of 3rd level or lower with a casting time of a reaction without consuming a spell slot. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest to use it again.
  
  Additionally, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any cantrip you cast.

Grand Spellshooter

• Starting at 14th level, your speed with the wand is unmatched. When you are targeted with a ranged weapon or spell attack, you can use your reaction to cast a wizard cantrip with a casting time of 1 action at that creature.
  
  Additionally, when you are using a wand or staff you created using your Wandsmith feature, you can add +2 to your spell attack and damage rolls and you ignore half cover when making a spell attack.
  
  Lastly, 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.

School of the Stargazer [Wizard]

Gazing at the stars is an ancient art form, almost as old as history itself. Those with the arcane skills and knowledge have used the essence of the stars and their movements to enhance the potency of their foresight. The stargazers, with their understanding of time and fate, excel in manipulating the destinies of people around them.

Summon Zodiac Spirit

• Starting from 2nd level when you take this arcane tradition, you harness the power of Zodiac as a reaction to help yourself or your allies. With your reaction, you use your free hand to draw a constellation with your fingers on a creature you can see within 60 ft. Each horoscopic constellation will aid you differently (these effects last for 1 hour unless stated in the description. If one creature has an active constellation on them, you can’t give them another constellation): 
  • Aries: Aries surrounds the target with energy, making the next Charisma skill check the target makes rolled with advantage. 
  • Taurus: Taurus surrounds the target with determination, making the next Wisdom saving throw the target makes rolled with advantage. 
  • Gemini: Gemini surrounds the target with tenacity, summoning a perfect replica of the target as an illusion, making the next ranged attack roll with disadvantage. 
  • Cancer: Cancer surrounds the target with restraint, making the next Insight skill check the target makes rolled with advantage. 
  • Leo: Leo surrounds the target with confidence, making the next saving throw against fear succeed automatically. 
  • Virgo: Virgo surrounds the target with recognition, making the next Perception skill check the target makes rolled with advantage. 
  • Libra: Libra surrounds the target with joy, summoning a spiritual armor which will give resistance to one damage type from any source or any type for 1 minute. 
  • Scorpio: Scorpio surrounds the target with vigor, making the next Constitution saving throw the target makes against poison with advantage. 
  • Sagittarius: Sagittarius surrounds the target with guidance, making the next ranged attack roll the target makes with advantage. 
  • Capricorn: Capricorn surrounds the target with purpose, making the next Wisdom saving throw against any charm effect rolled with advantage. 
  • Aquarius: Aquarius surrounds the target with mettle, making the next melee attack rolled against them be rolled with disadvantage. 
  • Pisces: Pisces surrounds the target with brilliance, making the target make the next Intelligence check with advantage. 

Bonus Spells

• Also at 2nd level, you gain the use of guidance or resistance cantrips, bless, or bane at 1st, augury at 3rd, divination at 7th and legend lore at 9th level. Once you gain access to these spells, they don’t count against the number of cantrips and spells you have. They are all counted as wizard spells, are always prepared, and don't count against the number of spells you can prepare.

Reading the Stars

• Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to perform the ancient art of reading the stars. During a long rest, you can spend 2 hours searching the stars and make use of them in three ways: 
  • Fortune-telling: You can catch a glimpse of the future. The next day, either you or one of your allies within 30 ft. of you can have advantage on attack rolls, ability checks or saving throws. You must grant this ability before the roll. You can use this feature a number of times up to half your Intelligence modifier (rounded up). 
  • Finding the Path: You can use the stars to honor an archaic method of navigation. The next day you can cast one of these spells once, without expending a spell slot: find traps, locate object, pass without trace, sending, clairvoyance. After you choose to cast one of the spells, you can’t use this feature until you finish a long rest. 
  • Celestial Omens: You can check the stars’ alignment to see what fate holds in her hands. The next day, you can recall what you have seen in the stars. As an action you can use your ability to gain insight about any creature’s intentions for you that you can see within 60 ft. The creature makes a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you will learn their intentions: good, bad, neutral or none (i.e. if the creature doesn’t know you or is not sentient).

Potent Zodiac Summons

• Starting at 10th level you start to keep three Zodiac signs active at one given moment. If you roll initiative and have no attempts for Summon Zodiac Spirits, you instantly gain one use of the ability.

When Stars Align

• Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to call forth the power of the stars. When you do so, you gain these abilities for the next minute and you can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest: 
  • You have true sight out to 30 ft. 
  • You have resistance to radiant and psychic damage. 
  • Five radiant orbs originate around you. You can use them as a ranged spell attack within creatures 100 ft. of you. On a hit, the creatures take 6d10 radiant damage. Whether a hit or not, the orb is lost upon the attack. The orbs shed 30 ft. bright and 30 ft. of dim light. The creatures hit by the attack will shed 5 ft. bright and 5 ft. of dim light. The next attack roll against them will have advantage, and they can’t become invisible again in the next minute. If they are already invisible, they can’t benefit from that spell or effect in the next minute.

School of the Symbiont [Wizard]

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 symbiont knowledge in all of the world. Originally written as a book of lore by a mad 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 Symbionts, 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 those who study symbionts. 

Personal Symbiont

• Starting at 2nd level, your long contact with the unknown has altered you in mind and body. You grow one of the following symbionts of your choice, gaining its benefits. This symbiont is part of your body; if you wish to remove your symbiont (for example, to hide your true nature from those who would not understand the truth you have found), you can do so over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can regrow a removed symbiont or mutate your personal symbiont into a new form when you finish a long rest, losing the benefits of the old symbiont and gaining the benefits of the new one. 
  • Eye Stalk. A long, flexible tentacle with a single eyeball on the end grows out of your neck. While your eye stalk is extended and uncovered, you gain the following benefits: 
    • You gain darkvision out to a range of 90 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 60 feet. 
    • You have advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks. 
    • You can't be surprised while you are awake. 
    • As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend a spell slot to gain truesight. Your truesight lasts for 1 round if you expend a spell slot of 1st or 2nd level, 1 minute if you expend a spell slot of 3rd, 4th, or 5th level, and 1 hour if you expend a spell slot of 6th level or higher. The radius of your truesight is a number of feet equal to ten times the level of the spell slot expended. 
  • Living Breastplate. You grow armor made out of slick chitin and pulsing organic material that merges seamlessly with your body. You gain the following benefits: 
    • Your Armor Class becomes 14 + your Dexterity modifier (maximum +2). 
    • You have advantage on death saving throws. 
    • As a reaction when you take damage, you can expend a spell slot to reduce the damage by three times the level of the spell slot expended. 
    • When you use your Arcane Recovery class feature, your wizard level is counted as 2 levels higher than the number of levels you have in this class. 
  • Spellgrubs. Dozens of tiny grubs continually burrow in and out of your arm and hold secrets of arcane power. When you grow this symbiont, choose a 1st-level spell from the warlock spell list. The spellgrubs know this spell, it counts as a wizard spell for you, and you can add it to your list of spells prepared, though it does not count toward your limit. When you finish a long rest, you can replace this spell with a different spell from the warlock spell list.
    
    The spellgrubs learn more powerful spells when you reach certain levels in this class, adding a 2nd-level spell when you reach 5th level, and a 3rd-level spell when you reach 9th level. When you finish a long rest, you can replace one or more of these in the same manner as the 1st-level spell. 
  • Scything Limb. You grow a chitinous spine on an aberrant third limb, reminiscent of a praying mantis. This limb can be controlled as easily as your own, effectively giving you a third hand. In addition, if your scything limb is not holding anything when you cast a spell, you can use a bonus action to make a melee weapon attack with its spine. You can use your choice of Strength or Dexterity for the attack roll, and on a hit, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier + psychic damage equal to twice the level of the spell you cast that turn.

Alien Anatomy

• 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.
  
  Additionally, you gain one of the following benefits:
  • Your movement speed increases by 10 feet.
  • Your Strength score increases by 2 up to a maximum of 20.
  • Your Dexterity Score increases by 2 up to a maximum of 20.
  • Your Constitution Score increases by 2 up to a maximum of 20.

Symbiotic Bond

• 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.

Otherworldly Summons

• At 14th level, you can summon a creature from beyond common understanding. By expending a 7th level spell slot, you summon an aberration of challenge rating 5 or lower for an hour, which appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This counts as if you are concentrating on a spell. The aberration disappears when it drops to 0 hit points, when you lose concentration, or when the duration ends. The aberration is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the aberration, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to the aberratition, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. The DM has the aberration's statistics.
  
  You can expend an 8th level spell slot to summon an aberration of challenge rating 6 or lower.
  You can expend an 98th level spell slot to summon an aberration of challenge rating 7 or lower.

School of Three [Wizard]

These wizards empowered by ancient, obscure magic, allowing them to use the Rule of 3 to improve their casting, and shatter the battlefield. The only reason this school of magic exists in the first place is thanks to the deep dives made under the plane where ancient knowledge was recovered and subsequently studied. 

Tricaster wizads have studied and uncovered that the Rule of 3 not only applied to nature's patterns, but also with the Weave itself. Now, tricasters practice the use of magic adhering to a dogma revolving that three rules the natural order of the weave and of the universe.

Arcane of the Triad
