'''Overchannel.''' Starting at 14th level, you can increase the power of your simpler spells. When you cast a wizard spell of 1st through 5th level that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell. | '''Overchannel.'''

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 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after you cast it. 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. | The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect.

=== School of Hedge Magic === | |||
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. <br> | |||
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. You learn additional cantrips in this way as you gain levels in this class; one each at 6th level, 10th level, and 14th level. | |||
'''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 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.<br> | |||
You can cast a spell in this way a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.<br> | |||
As you gain levels in this class, you can cast more powerful spells with this feature: 3rd-level spells at 10th level, 4th-level spells at 14th level, and finally 5th-level spells at 18th level. | |||
'''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).<br> | |||
You can use this reaction after you roll, but before you determine whether you succeed or fail. | |||
'''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. <br> | |||
When you reach 18th level in this class, this ability affects any wizard spells of 5th-level and lower. | |||
