Clad in the silver robes that denote her station, a Genasi closes her eyes to shut out the distractions of the battlefield and begins her quiet chant. Fingers weaving in front of her, she completes her spell and launches a tiny bead of fire toward the enemy ranks, where it erupts into a conflagration that engulfs the soldiers.<br>
Checking and rechecking his work, an Ìqáalìe scribes an intricate magic circle in chalk on the bare stone floor, then sprinkles powdered iron along every line and graceful curve. When the circle is complete, he drones a long incantation. A hole opens in space inside the circle, bringing a whiff of brimstone from the otherworldly plane beyond.<br>
Crouching on the floor in a dungeon intersection, a leonin tosses a handful of small bones inscribed with mystic symbols, muttering a few words of power over them. Closing his eyes to see the visions more clearly, he nods slowly, then opens his eyes and points down the passage to his left.<br>
Wizards are supreme magic-users, defined and united as a class by the spells they cast. Drawing on the subtle weave of magic that permeates the cosmos, wizards cast spells of explosive fire, arcing lightning, subtle deception, and brute-force mind control. Their magic conjures monsters from other planes of existence, glimpses the future, or turns slain foes into zombies. Their mightiest spells change one substance into another, call meteors down from the sky, or open portals to other worlds.<br>
Wild and enigmatic, varied in form and function, the power of magic draws students who seek to master its mysteries. Some aspire to become like the gods, shaping reality itself. Though the casting of a typical spell requires merely the utterance of a few strange words, fleeting gestures, and sometimes a pinch or clump of exotic materials, these surface components barely hint at the expertise attained after years of apprenticeship and countless hours of study.<br>
Wizards live and die by their spells. Everything else is secondary. They learn new spells as they experiment and grow in experience. They can also learn them from other wizards, from ancient tomes or inscriptions, and from ancient creatures (such as the fey) that are steeped in magic.<br>
Wizards lives are seldom mundane. The closest a wizard is likely to come to an ordinary life is working as a sage or lecturer in a library or university, teaching others the secrets of the multiverse. Other wizards sell their services as diviners, serve in military forces, or pursue lives of crime or domination.<br>
But the lure of knowledge and power calls even the most unadventurous wizards out of the safety of their libraries and laboratories and into crumbling ruins and lost cities. Most wizards believe that their counterparts in ancient civilizations knew secrets of magic that have been lost to the ages, and discovering those secrets could unlock the path to a power greater than any magic available in the present age.

==== Spellbook ====
''1st Level Wizard Feature''<br>
You have a Spellbook that you use for Preparing Spells and Casting Rituals. You begin with six, 1st Level Spells in the Spellbook. Whenever you gain a Level in this class, you magically scribe two additional Spells of a Level you can cast into your Spellbook.<br>
Additionally, if you find a Spell from the [[Wizard Spells|Wizard Spell List]] that you do not have in your Spellbook, you can scribe it into your Spellbook by spending 2 hours and 50GP for every Level of the Spell. This represents using magical inks, practicing the Spell, and translating the short-hand used in the Spell.<br>
You can use your Spellbook as a Wizard Spellcasting Focus<br>
If you copy a Spell from your Spellbook into another Spellbook, you only spend 1 hour and 10GP for each Level of the Spell due to the fact you know how to cast the Spell and you recognize your own short-hand for the formula of the Spell. If you lose your Spellbook, you can copy the spells you have prepared into another Spellbook in the same way.<br>
If you come across a Spell from another class's Spell List, you can attempt to copy the Spell into your Spellbook, however every time you attempt to do so, you must make an Intelligence (Arcana) Check with a DC of 18 + the Spell's Level. If you fail this Check you must wait until you finish a Long Rest to attempt to do so again for that Spell.<br>
Additionally, if you have a Ritual Spell in your Spellbook, you can cast that Spell as a Ritual with only 1 minute added to the Casting Time instead of 10 minutes, you also don't need to have the Spell Prepared to cast it as a Ritual.
<br><br>
==== Arcane Tradition ====
''2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th Level Wizard Feature''<br>
