Wizard
Wizard
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
You can use your Spellbook as a Wizard Spellcasting Focus
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.
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.
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.

Arcane Traditions
School of Abjuration
The School of Abjuration emphasizes magic that blocks, banishes, or protects. Detractors of this school say that its tradition is about denial, negation rather than positive assertion. You understand, however, that ending harmful effects, protecting the weak, and banishing evil influences is anything but a philosophical void. It is a proud and respected vocation.
Called abjurers, members of this school are sought when baleful spirits require exorcism, when important locations must be guarded against magical spying, and when portals to other planes of existence must be closed.

When the bead dissipates over time, or if the bead is destroyed, it vanishes in a flash of light, and the Spell is lost.
A creature holding the bead can use its Action to release the Spell within, causing the bead to disappear. The Spell uses your Spell Attack Bonus and Spell Save DC, but the Spell treats the creature who released it as the caster for all other purposes.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

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.
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.

School of Evocation
You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing fire, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as bandits, adventurers, or aspiring tyrants.

2nd Level School of Evocation Feature
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.
Potent Cantrip
6th Level School of Evocation Feature
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.
Empowered Evocation
10th Level School of Evocation Feature
You can add your Intelligence Modifier to one Damage Roll of any Evocation Spell you cast.
Overchannel
14th Level School of Evocation Feature
You can increase the power of your spells. When you cast a Wizard Spell that deals Damage, you can deal maximum Damage with 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 reduce your Current Hit Points by 2d12 for every Level of the Spell immediately after you cast it. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a Long Rest, the Current Hit Points reduced is increased by 1d12.
School of Graviturgy
Understanding and mastering the forces that draw bodies of matter together or drive them apart, the students of the Graviturgy arcane tradition learn to further bend and manipulate the violent energy of gravity to their benefit, and the terrible detriment of their enemies.
Feature | Level | Quick Explanation |
---|---|---|
Adjust Gravity | 2nd | You can change the weight of an object or creature, either slowing it but making it better at Strength Checks and Saving Throws, or speeding it up but making it worse at Strength Checks and Saving Throws |
Gravity Well | 6th | You can push targets of your Spells |

Event Horizon | 14th | You can deal Damage and slow creatures in an area |
Adjust Density
2nd Level School of Graviturgy Feature
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.
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.
When you reach 10th Level in this class, you can target an object or a creature that is Huge or smaller.
Gravity Well
6th Level School of Graviturgy Feature
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.
Violent Attraction
10th Level School of Graviturgy Feature
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.
Alternatively, if a creature within 60ft of you takes Damage from falling, you can use your Reaction to increase the that Damage by 2d10.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier, regaining expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Event Horizon
14th Level School of Graviturgy Feature
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.
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.
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.
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
2nd Level School of Hedge Magic Feature
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.
Self Taught
2nd Level School of Hedge Magic Feature
Your deep understanding of the low magic allows you to add them to your Spellbook at a discount. The GP and time you must spend to copy a Spell into your Spellbook is halved if the Spell's Level is equal to or lower than your Proficiency Bonus.
Additionally, you have Advantage on the Intelligence (Arcana) Checks you make to copy non-Wizard Spells of that Level or lower into your Spellbook.
On the Fly
6th Level School of Hedge Magic Feature
Your skill with basic magic is second to none, allowing you to spontaneously cast low Level 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 1 Action or Bonus Action.
You can cast a Spell in this way a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
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 5th Level Spells at 18th Level.
Hardy Magic
10th Level School of Hedge Magic Feature
Learning your magic out in the wild instead of the controlled environment of a formal school has made you hardier than most wizards. When you fail a Constitution Saving Throw to maintain Concentration, you can use a Reaction to grant yourself a bonus to the roll equal to your Intelligence Modifier.
Arcane Conservation
14th Level School of Hedge Magic Feature
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.
When you reach 18th Level in this class, this feature affects any Wizard Spells of 5th Level and lower.
School of Illusion
You focus your studies on magic that dazzles the senses, befuddles the mind, and tricks even the wisest folk. Your magic is subtle, but the illusions crafted by your keen mind make the impossible seem real. Some illusionists — including many gnome wizards — are benign tricksters who use their spells to entertain. Others are more sinister masters of deception, using their illusions to frighten and fool others for their personal gain.

Illusion Savant | 2nd | You're better at adding Illusion Spells to your Spellbook |
Improved Minor Illusion | 2nd | You get the Minor Illusion Cantrip and it's better when you cast it |

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.
Illusory Self
10th Level School of Illusion Feature
You can create an illusory duplicate of yourself as an instant, almost instinctual reaction to danger. When a creature makes an Attack against you, you can use your Reaction to interpose the illusory duplicate between the Attacker and yourself. The Attack automatically misses you, then the duplicate dissipates.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.
Illusory Reality
14th Level School of Illusion Feature
You have learned the secret of weaving shadow magic into your illusions to give them a semi-reality. When you cast an Illusion Spell of 1st Level or higher, you can choose one inanimate, non-magical object that is part of the Illusion and make that object real. You can do this on your turn as a Bonus Action while the Spell is active. The object remains real for 1 minute.
The object can't deal Damage or otherwise directly harm any creature.
School of Necromancy
The School of Necromancy explores the cosmic forces of life, death, and undeath. As you focus your studies in this tradition, you learn to manipulate the energy that animates all living things. As you progress, you learn to sap the life force from a creature as your magic destroys its body, transforming that vital energy into magical power you can manipulate.
Most people see necromancers as menacing, or even villainous, due to the close association with death. Not all necromancers are evil, but the forces they manipulate are considered taboo by many societies.

You don't gain this benefit for reducing Constructs or Undead to 0 Hit Points.
Undead Thralls
6th Level School of Necromancy Feature
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.
- The creature adds your Proficiency Bonus to its Weapon Damage Rolls.
Inured to Undeath
10th Level School of Necromancy Feature
You have spent so much time dealing with undead and the forces that animate them that you have become inured to some of their worst effects.
You have Resistance to Necrotic Damage, and your Hit Point Maximum can't be reduced.
Command Undead
14th Level School of Necromancy Feature
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.
Intelligent Undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence Score of 8 or higher, it has Advantage on the Save. If it fails the Save and has an Intelligence Score of 12 or higher, it can repeat the Saving Throw at the end of every hour until it succeeds and breaks free.
School of Onomancy
Practitioners of magic well know the power of names, not used or given names, but True Names. Wizards who follow the tradition of Onomancy use their magic to manipulate the words that encompass existence. Onomancers expand their study into language itself, searching for threads of magical significance that weave through names. Something that is named stands out in the multiverse, distinct from the tapestry of creation all around it.
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.

If a creature succeeds on the Save, you don't learn that creature's True Name and cannot use this feature on that creature again until the end of your next Long Rest.
Fateful Naming
2nd Level School of Onomancy Feature
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.
Forceful Naming
6th Level School of Onomancy Feature
When you cast a Spell and speak the True Name of a creature that is the target of the Spell, if that creature failed a Saving Throw imposed by the Spell, you can choose to either knock that creature Prone, or move that creature up to its Speed.

During this time, as an Action you can speak the True Name of that creature again while it can hear you to end this effect. When you do this, you roll 3d12 for every Spell Level of the expended Spell Slot. If the total rolled is greater than the creature's Current Hit Points, it dies.
After you use speak a creature's True Name a second time with this feature, its True Name is shattered and is no longer that creature's True Name. After 1d10 Days if that creature is still living, the creature gains a new True Name which you do not know.
School of Rituals
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 said wizard's magical stamina. Some wizards, known as Ritualists, dedicate their great intellect to mastery over the deliberate and reliable magic of ritual spellcasting.
Feature | Level | Quick Explanation |
---|---|---|
Ritual Savant | 2nd | You're better at adding Ritual Spells to your Spellbook |

You have reached an unparalleled understanding of ritualistic magic and its applications. When you cast a Spell that requires Concentration as a Ritual, you ignore the Concentration requirement of that Spell.
School of Scribes
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.
Among wizards, the Order of Scribes is the most bookish. It takes many forms in different worlds, but its primary mission is the same everywhere: recording magical discoveries so that wizardry can flourish. And while all wizards value spellbooks, a wizard in the School of Scribes magically awakens their book, turning it into a trusted companion. All wizards study books, but a wizardly scribe talks to theirs!
Feature | Level | Quick Explanation |
---|---|---|
Wizardly Quill | 2nd | You get a magical quill you can use to better copy Spells into your Spellbook |
Awakened Spellbook | 2nd | You can make your Spellbook sentient and give it a variety of benefits for your Spells |
Manifest Mind | 6th | You can summon your sentient Spellbook on the battlefield |
Master Scrivener | 10th | You can make Spell Scrolls better |
One with the Word | 14th | You're better at Arcana and you can lose Spells temporarily to resist Damage |
Wizardly Quill
2nd Level School of Scribes Feature
You can magically create a Tiny quill in your free hand. The magic quill has the following properties:
- The quill doesn't require ink. When you write with it, it produces ink in a color of your choice on the writing surface.
- The time you must spend to copy a Spell into your Spellbook equals 2 minutes per Spell Level if you use the quill for the transcription.
- You can erase anything you write with the quill if you wave the feather over the text as a Bonus Action, provided the text is within 5ft of you.
This quill disappears if you create another one or if you Die.
Awakened Spellbook
2nd Level School of Scribes Feature
Using specially prepared inks and ancient incantations passed down by your wizardly order, you have awakened an arcane sentience within your Spellbook. While you are holding the book, it grants you the following benefits:
- 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.
Manifest Mind
6th Level School of Scribes Feature
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 Lioght out to a Range of 10ft. It looks like a ghostly tome, a cascade of text, a scholar from the past, or another form.
While manifested, the spectral mind can hear and see, and it has Darkvision with a range of 60ft. The mind can telepathically share with you what it sees and hears as a Free Action.
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.
As a Bonus Action, you can cause the spectral mind to move up to 30ft to an unoccupied space that you or it can see. It can pass through creatures but not objects.
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.
Master Scrivener
10th Level School of Scribes Feature
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can create one magic scroll by touching your Wizardly Quill to a blank piece of paper or parchment and causing one spell from your Awakened Spellbook to be copied onto the scroll.
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.
The GP and time you must spend to make such a Spell Scroll are halved if you use your Wizardly Quill.
One with the Word
14th Level School of Scribes Feature
Your connection to your Awakened Spellbook has become so profound that your soul has become entwined with it. While the book is on your person, you have Advantage on all Intelligence (Arcana) Checks, as the Spellbook helps you remember magical lore.
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.
Until you finish 1d6 Long Rests, you are incapable of casting the lost Spells from that Spellbook. After you finish the required number of Long Rests, the Spells reappear in the Spellbook.
School of Theurgy
Not all who serve deities of the upper planes do so as clerics, priests, and paladins. Some wizards focus their great intellect on studies of the divine, and in turn learn to produce divine magic. Wizards who join this school often reside in temples rather then towers, and tend to be more benevolent then their arcane counterparts. In their studies of the upper planes and their magic, these sages often find themselves sympathizing with the causes of the deities they spend their lives studying.

2nd Level School of Theurgy Feature
You gain the ability to harness the power of Bahumat. When you use your Arcane Divinity feature, you must expend a Spell Slot of 1st Level or higher and choose which effect to use out of the Channel Divinity Options you have in your Spellbook. If a Channel Divinity Option requires the target to make a Saving Throw, the DC is equal to your Spell Save DC. You can use this feature number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest. Whenever a Channel Divinity Option would have you take a specific action with your Holy Symbol, you can instead take that same action with your Wizard Spellcasting Focus.
Choose two Channel Divinity Options including Turn Undead and Aberrations and any Channel Divinity Option given by a Cleric Subclass (summarized here) and add them to your Spellbook.
Additionally, if you find a Channel Divinity Option including the Turn Undead and Aberrations and any given by a Cleric or Paladin Subclass that you do not have in your Spellbook, you can scribe it into your Spellbook by spending 8 hours and 200GP. This represents using magical inks, practicing the Channel Divinity, and translating it into a short-hand that is both divine and arcane.
Arcane Theologian
6th Level School of Theurgy Feature
As an Action you can display some of your divine power refined through study. When you do so, choose one of the following effects:
- Your eyes, hair, Spellbook or hands shine, providing Bright Light out to a Range of 10ft, and Dim Light an additional 10ft.

You can have a number of these effects active at once equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
Divine Protection
10th Level School of Theurgy Feature
Your knowledge of the divine grants you a measure of protection against evil. When an Aberration or Undead attacks you, it must make a Wisdom Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed Save, the creature must choose a different target, or the Attack automatically misses. On a successful Save, the creature is Immune to this effect for 24 hours.
Any creature with an Intelligence Score of 4 or higher is aware of this effect before it makes its Attack against you.
Divine Arcana
14th Level School of Theurgy Feature
When you use your Arcane Divinity feature, the next Spell you cast before the end of your next turn is cast as if it were one Spell Level higher.
School of Transmutation
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.
Some transmuters are tinkerers and pranksters, turning people into toads and transforming copper into silver for fun and occasional profit. Others pursue their magical studies with deadly seriousness, seeking the power of the gods to make and destroy worlds.
Feature | Level | Quick Explanation |

Transmuter's Stone
6th Level School of Transmutation Feature
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.

- The creature gains Darkvision out to a Range of 60ft.
- The creature gains a 10ft bonus to its Speed.
- The creature gains proficiency in Constitution Saving Throws.
- The creature gains Resistance to Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder Damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit)

School of Wand Lore

School of War Magic
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.
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.
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?”
