Wizard: Difference between revisions

Additionally, if you find a spell from the 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>

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>

You have scribed a set of arcane formulas in your spellbook that you can use to formulate a cantrip in your mind. Whenever you finish a Long Rest and consult those formulas in your Spellbook, you can replace one Wizard Cantrip you know with another Cantrip from the Wizard Spell List.

You gain mastery over two powerful spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two 3rd Level Wizard Spells in your Spellbook as your Signature Spells. You always have these Spells Prepared, they don’t count against your number of Spells Prepared, and you can cast each of these Spells at 3rd Level without expending a Spell Slot. You can cast each of these Spells in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of the a Long Rest.

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Abjuration Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br> Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Abjuration Spells into your Spellbook.

You can weave magic around yourself for protection. When you cast an Abjuration Spell of 1st Level or higher, you can simultaneously use a strand of the Spell’s magic to create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish a long rest. This Arcane Ward has a Hit Point Maximum equal to twice your Wizard Level + your Intelligence Modifier. Whenever you take Damage, your Arcane Ward takes the Damage instead. If this Damage reduces the Arcane Ward to 0 Hit Points, you take any remaining Damage.<br>

While the ward has 0 Hit Points, it can’t absorb damage, but its magic remains. Whenever you cast an Abjuration Spell of 1st Level or higher, the ward regains a number of hit points equal to twice the Level of the spell.<br>

Once you create the ward, you can’t create it again until you finish a Long Rest.

When you cast an Abjuration Spell that requires you to make an Ability Check as a part of casting that Spell, you add your Proficiency Bonus to that Ability Check.

You have Advantage on Saving Throws against Spells. Furthermore, you have Resistance to Damage dealt by Spells.

| [[Wizard#Training in War and Song|Training in War and Song]] || 2nd || You get Proficiency with Light Armor, Performance, and a Weapon

| [[Wizard#Bladesong|Bladesong]] || 2nd || You can enter a state where you become faster, get extra AC, and are better at Acrobatics and Concentration Saving Throws

You gain Proficiency with Light Armor, and you gain Proficiency with one type of One-Handed Melee Weapon of your choice. You also gain Proficiency in the Performance Skill if you don’t already have it.

You can invoke an elven magic called the Bladesong, provided that you aren’t wearing Medium or Heavy Armor or using a shield. It graces you with supernatural speed, agility, and focus.<br>

You can use a Bonus Action to start the Bladesong, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are Incapacitated, if you don Medium or Heavy Armor or a Shield, or if you use two hands to make an Attack with a Weapon. You can also dismiss the Bladesong at any time as a Free Action. While your Bladesong is active, you gain the following benefits:

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining you expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

| [[Wizard#Chronal Shift|Chronal Shift]] || 2nd || You can redo rolls

As an Action, you can magically force a Large or smaller creature you can see within 60ft of you to make a Constitution Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed Save, the creature is encased in a field of magical energy until the end of your next turn or until the creature takes any Damage. While encased in this way, the creature is Incapacitated and has a speed of 0.<br>

When you cast a Spell using a Spell Slot of 4th Level or lower, you can condense the Spell’s magic into a mote. The Spell is frozen in time at the moment of casting and held within a gray bead for 1 hour. This bead is a Tiny object with a 15AC and 1 Hit Point, and it is Immune to Poison and Psychic Damage. When the bead dissipates over time, or if the bead is destroyed, it vanishes in a flash of light, and the Spell is lost.<br>

| [[Wizard#Conjuration Savant|Conjuration Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Conjuration Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Focused Conjuration|Focused Conjuration]] || 10th || You're better at Concentrating on Conjuration Spells

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Conjuration Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br> Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Conjuration Spells into your Spellbook.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest or you cast a Conjuration Spell of 1st Level or higher.

While you are Concentrating on a Conjuration Spell, your Concentration can’t be broken as a result of taking Damage.

Any creature or object that you summon or create with a Conjuration Spell gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to 2 x your Wizard Level.

| [[Wizard#Divination Savant|Divination Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Divination Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Expert Divination|Expert Divination]] || 6th || You can regain low Level Spell Slots when you cast Divination Spells

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Divination Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br> Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Diviation Spells into your Spellbook.

When you choose this school, glimpses of the future begin to press in on your awareness. When you finish a Long Rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. You can replace any Attack Roll, Ability Check, or Saving Throw made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn.<br>

Casting divination spells comes so easily to you that it expends only a fraction of your spellcasting efforts. When you cast a Divination Spell of 2nd Level or higher using a Spell Slot, you regain one expended Spell Slot. The Slot you regain must be of a Slot Level lower than the Spell you cast but can’t be higher than 5th Level.

You can use your Action to increase your powers of perception. When you do so, choose one of the following benefits, which lasts until you are Incapacitated or until you finish a Long Rest:

You can’t use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest.

| [[Wizard#Enchantment Savant|Enchantment Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Enchantment Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Hypnotic Gaze|Hypnotic Gaze]] || 2nd || You can Charm and Incapacitate your foes

| [[Wizard#Split Enchantment|Split Enchantment]] || 10th || You can target more creatures with Enchantment Spells

| [[Wizard#Alter Memories|Alter Memories]] || 14th || You can remove a Charmed creature's memories

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Enchantment Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br>

Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Enchantment Spells into your Spellbook.

Your soft words and enchanting gaze can magically enthrall another creature. As an Action, choose one creature that you can see within 5ft of you. If the target can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC or be Charmed by you until the end of your next turn. The Charmed creature’s speed drops to 0, and the creature is Incapacitated and visibly dazed.<br>

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 move more than 5ft away from the creature, if the creature can neither see nor hear you, or if the creature takes Damage.<br>

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.

When a creature you can see within 30ft of you Attacks you, you can use your Reaction to divert the attack to another creature in the Attack's Range. The Attacker must make a Wisdom Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed Save, the Attacker must target the creature that is closest to it, not including you or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target. On a successful Save, you can’t use this feature on the Attacker again until you finish a Long Rest.<br>

Creatures that can’t be Charmed are unaffected by this feature.

When you cast an Enchantment Spell of 1st Level or higher that targets only one creature, you can cause that Spell to target a second creature.

You gain the ability to make a creature unaware of your magical influence on it. When you cast an Enchantment Spell to Charm one or more creatures, you can alter one creature’s understanding so that it remains unaware of being Charmed.<br>

Additionally, once before the Spell ends, you can use your Action to try make the creature forget some of the time it spent Charmed. The creature must succeed on an Intelligence Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC or lose a number of hours of its memory equal to 1 + your Charisma Modifier. You can make the creature forget less time, but the amount of time can’t exceed the duration of the Enchantment Spell cast.

| [[Wizard#Evocation Savant|Evocation Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Evocation Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Sculpt Spells|Sculpt Spells]] || 2nd || You can make your allies automatically succeed on your Evocation Spells

| [[Wizard#Empowered Evocation|Empowered Evocation]] || 10th || You deal extra Damage with Evocation Spells

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Evocation Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br> Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Evocation Spells into your Spellbook.

You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your Evocation Spells. When you cast an Evocation Spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of creatures equal to 1 + the Spell’s Level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their Saving Throws against the Spell, and they take no Damage if they would normally take half Damage on a successful Save.

Your damaging Cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When a creature succeeds on a Saving Throw against one of your Cantrips, the creature takes half of the Cantrip’s Damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the Cantrip.

You can add your Intelligence Modifier to one Damage Roll of any Evocation Spell you cast.

As an Action, you can magically alter the weight of one object or creature you can see within 30ft of you. The object or creature must be Large or smaller. The target’s weight is halved or doubled for up to 1 minute or until your Concentration on this effect ends.<br>

While the weight of a creature is halved by this effect, the creature’s Speed increases by 10ft, it can Jump twice as far as normal, and it has Disadvantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws. While the weight of a creature is doubled by this effect, the creature’s Speed is reduced by 10ft, and it has Advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws.<br>

You’ve learned how to manipulate gravity around a living being: whenever you cast a Spell on a creature, you can move the target 5ft to an unoccupied space of your choice if the target is willing to move, the Spell hits it with an Attack, or it fails a Saving Throw imposed by the Spell.

When another creature that you can see within 60ft of you hits with a Weapon Attack, you can use your Reaction to increase the Attack’s velocity, causing the Attack to deal and additional 1d10 Damage.<br>

As an Action, you can magically emit a powerful field of gravitational energy that tugs at other creatures for up to 1 minute or until your Concentration on this effect ends. For the Duration, whenever a creature hostile to you starts its turn within 30ft of you, it must make a Strength Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed Save, it takes 2d10 Force Damage, and its Speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. On a successful Save, it takes half as much Damage, and is Slowed 2 until the start of its next turn.<br>

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a Spell Slot of 3rd Level or higher to use it again.

Your unorthodox relationship with arcane magic allows you to you learn the fundamentals of magic not traditionally associated with wizards. You learn one Cantrip of your choice from any class's Spell List. The chosen Cantrip counts as a Wizard Spell for you, but does not count against your number of Cantrips Known. You learn additional Cantrips in this way at certain Levels in this class; one each at 6th Level, 10th Level, and 14th Level.

Your skill with basic magic is second to none, allowing you to spontaneously cast low :evel Spells that you haven't Prepared. 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 by expending the appropriate Spell Slot. The Spell must have a casting time of one Action or Bonus Action.<br>

Your understanding of arcane fundamentals allows you to recycle the energy of failed spells. When you cast a Wizard Spell of 4th Level or lower and the spell has no effect on any creatures, you regain one expended Spell Slot that is of a lower Level then the Spell you cast. <br>

When you reach 18th Level in this class, this ability affects any Wizard Spells of 5th Level and lower.

| [[Wizard#Illusion Savant|Illusion Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Illusion Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Improved Minor Illusion|Improved Minor Illusion]] || 2nd || You get the Minor Illusion Cantrip and it's better when you cast it

| [[Wizard#Malleable Illusions|Malleable Illusions]] || 6th || You can change your illusions with your Illusion Spells

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Illusion Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br>

Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Illusion Spells into your Spellbook.

You learn the Minor Illusion Cantrip, it is a Wizard Spell for you and doesn’t count against your number of Cantrips known.<br>

When you cast the Minor Illusion Cantrip, you can create both a sound and an image with a single casting of the Spell.

When you cast an Illusion Spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can use an Action to change the nature of that Illusion using the Spell’s normal parameters for the Illusion, provided that you can see the Illusion.

The object can’t deal Damage or otherwise directly harm any creature.

| [[Wizard#Necromancy|Necromancy Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Necromancy Spells to your Spellbook

| [[Wizard#Undead Thralls|Undead Thralls]] || 6th || You get the Animate Dead Spell and its better when you cast it

The GP and time you must spend to copy a Necromancy Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br>

Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Necromancy Spells into your Spellbook.

You gain the ability to reap life energy from creatures you kill with your Spells. Once per turn when you reduce one or more creatures to 0 Hit Points with a Spell of 1st Level or higher, you regain Hit Points equal to 2 x Spell’s Level, or 3 x its Level if it is a Necromancy Spell. You don’t gain this benefit for reducing Constructs or Undead to 0 Hit Points.

You add the Animate Dead Spell to your Spellbook. When you cast the Animate Dead Spell, you can target one additional corpse or pile of bones, creating another Zombie or Skeleton, as appropriate. Whenever you create an Undead using a Necromancy Spell, it has additional benefits:

*The creature’s Hit Point Maximum is increased by an amount equal to your Wizard Level.

You have Resistance to Necrotic Damage, and your Hit Point Maximum can’t be reduced.

You can use magic to bring undead under your control, even those created by other wizards. As an Action, you can choose one Undead that you can see within 60ft of you. That creature must make a Charisma Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. If it succeeds, you can’t use this feature on it again. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands until you use this feature again.<br>

That distinction creates power that onomancers seek to tap. By speaking a target’s true name, the wizard’s spells slip between the cracks of the target’s defenses, conforming to its essential nature through the power of its name. To protect themselves, wizards who follow this tradition often hide their True Names, typically by adopting monikers and pseudonyms.

| [[Wizard#Bonus Proficiencies|Bonus Proficiencies]] || 2nd || You learn a Language and get Proficiency with Calligrapher's Tools

You learn one Language of your choice and gain Proficiency with Calligrapher’s Tools.

You can bend magic to hinder creatures through the power of their True Names. When you cast a Spell and speak the True Name of a creature that is the target of the Spell, if that creature is within Range of the Spell, you can target the creature with the Spell even if you can’t see the creature or it has Total Cover against the Spell. Additionally, when you target a creature in this way, you can change the Damage Type of the Spell to either Force or Psychic Damage for that creature.

As a Bonus Action, you can activate the effects of one of your suspended Rituals, at which point the Spell’s Duration begins.

Magic of the book—that’s what many folk call wizardry. The name is apt, given how much time wizards spend poring over tomes and penning theories about the nature of magic. It’s rare to see wizards traveling without books and scrolls sprouting from their bags, and a wizard would go to great lengths to plumb an archive of ancient knowledge.

*The quill doesn’t require ink. When you write with it, it produces ink in a color of your choice on the writing surface.

*When you cast a Wizard Spell with a Spell Slot, you can temporarily replace its Damage Type with a Type that appears in another Spell of the same Level in your Spellbook, which magically alters the Spell’s formula for this casting only.

*When you cast a Wizard Spell as a Ritual, you can use the Spell’s normal Casting Time, rather than adding 1 minute to it. Once you use this benefit, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

If necessary, you can replace the book over the course of a Long Rest by using your Wizardly Quill to write arcane sigils in a blank book or a magic Spellbook to which you’re attuned. At the end of the Long Rest, your Spellbook’s consciousness is summoned into the new book, which the consciousness transforms into your Spellbook, along with all its Spells. If the previous book still existed somewhere, all the Spells vanish from its pages.

You can conjure forth the mind of your Awakened Spellbook. As a Bonus Action while the book is on your person, you can cause the mind to manifest as a Tiny spectral object, hovering in an unoccupied space of your choice within 60ft of you. The spectral mind is intangible and doesn’t occupy its space, and it sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. It looks like a ghostly tome, a cascade of text, a scholar from the past, or another form.<br>

Whenever you cast a Wizard Spell on your turn, you can cast it as if you were in the spectral mind’s space, instead of your own, using its senses. You can do so a number of times per day equal to your Proficiency Bonus, Regaining expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.<br>

The spectral mind stops manifesting if it is ever more than 300ft away from you, if someone casts the Dispel Magic Spell on it, if the Awakened Spellbook is destroyed, if you die, or if you dismiss the spectral mind as a Bonus Action. Once you conjure the mind, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a Spell Slot of 1st Level or higher to conjure it again.

The Spellbook must be within 5ft of you when you make the scroll. The chosen Spell must be of 1st or 2nd Level and must have a Casting Time of 1 Action. Once in the scroll, the Spell’s power is enhanced, counting as one Level higher than normal. You can cast the Spell from the scroll by reading it as an Action. The scroll is unintelligible to anyone else, and the spell vanishes from the scroll when you cast it or when you finish your next Long Rest.<br>

Moreover, if you take Damage while your Spellbook’s mind is manifested, you can prevent all of that Damage by using your Reaction to dismiss the spectral mind, using its magic to save yourself. Then roll 3d6. The Spellbook temporarily loses Spells of your choice that have a combined Spell Level equal to that roll or higher. If there aren’t enough spells in the book to cover this cost, you instead take twice as much Damage as you would have otherwise.<br>

| [[Wizard#Divine Savant|Divine Savant]] || 2nd || You can add some Cleric Spells to your Spellbook when you gain Levels in this class, can use a Holy Symbol as a Wizard Spellcasting focus, and are better at adding Cleric Spells to your Spellbook

You gain access to divine magics unavailable to most wizards. When you gain a Level in this class, one of the Spells you add to your Spellbook can be from the Cleric Spell List. You can also use a Holy Symbol as a Wizard Spellcasting Focus.<br>

Additionally, you automatically succeed any Intelligence (Arcana) Checks to add Spell's from the Cleric Spell List to your Spellbook.

You are a student of spells that modify energy and matter. To you, the world is not a fixed thing, but eminently mutable, and you delight in being an agent of change. You wield the raw stuff of creation and learn to alter both physical forms and mental qualities. Your magic gives you the tools to become a smith on reality’s forge.

| [[Wizard#Transmutation Savant|Transmutation Savant]] || 2nd || You're better at adding Transmutation Spells to your Spellbook

The GP and time you must spend to copy an Transmutation Spell into your Spellbook is halved.<br> Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Transmutation Spells into your Spellbook.

You can spend 8 hours creating a Transmuter’s Stone that stores Transmutation magic. You can benefit from the Stone yourself or give it to another creature. A creature gains a benefit of your choice as long as the Stone is in the creature’s possession. When you create the Stone, choose the benefit it gives from the following options:

Each time you cast a Transmutation Spell of 1st Level or higher, you can change the effect of your Stone if the Stone is on your person. If you create a new Transmuter’s Stone, the previous one ceases to function.

You add the Polymorph Spell to your Spellbook. You can cast Polymorph without expending a Spell Slot. When you do so, you can target only yourself and transform into a Beast that has a CR of 1 or lower.<br>

You can cast Polymorph in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

You can use your Action to consume the reserve of Transmutation magic stored within your Transmuter’s Stone in a single burst. Your Transmuter’s Stone is destroyed and can’t be remade until you finish a Long Rest. When you do so, choose one of the following effects:

*'''Panacea.''' You remove all Curses, Diseases, and Poisons affecting a creature that you touch with the Transmuter’s Stone. The creature also regains all its Hit Points.

*'''Restore Life.''' You cast the Raise Dead Spell on a creature you touch with the Transmuter’s Stone, without expending a Spell Slot or needing to have the Spell in your Spellbook.

*'''Restore Youth.''' You touch the Transmuter’s Stone to a willing creature, and that creature’s apparent age is reduced by 3d10 years, to a minimum of 13 years. This effect doesn’t extend the creature’s lifespan.

Some children grow up sword-fighting with sticks and become soldiers, but you’ve learned how to turn a simple stick into something more powerful than a blade. The study of wand lore delves deeper into old magic, beyond the normal lists of components and incantations, and into the rich history and tradition of wandcraft.<br>

As a wizard of wand lore, you know that a mage’s true power can be amplified with the right tool: for you, that tool is a wand of your own creation.

A variety of arcane colleges specialize in training wizards for war. The tradition of War Magic blends principles of evocation and abjuration, rather than specializing in either of those schools. It teaches techniques that empower a caster’s spells, while also providing methods for wizards to bolster their own defenses.<br>

Followers of this tradition are known as war mages. They see their magic as both a weapon and armor, a resource superior to any piece of steel. War mages act fast in battle, using their spells to seize tactical control of a situation. Their spells strike hard, while their defensive skills foil their opponents’ attempts to counterattack. War mages are also adept at turning other spellcasters’ magical energy against them.<br>

In great battles, a war mage often works with evokers, abjurers, and other types of wizards. Evokers, in particular, sometimes tease war mages for splitting their attention between offense and defense. A war mage’s typical response: “What good is being able to throw a mighty Fireball if I die before I can cast it?”

| [[Wizard#Counter Magic|Counter Magic]] || 6th || You get Dispel Magic and can cast it quicker

When you use this feature, you can’t cast Spells other than Cantrips until the end of your next turn.

You add the Dispel Magic Spell to your Spellbook. Additionally, when you cast Dispel Magic, you can cast it as a Bonus Action.
