Inept Wizard

Schools of Magic

The four Elemental schools govern the elements that compose the world. The three Ego schools govern what composes a person. The two Moral schools, Light and Dark, draw on grace and on damnation; no character can draw on both. Holy magic is not a learned art but a granted one, available only to those bound by an oath.

Spellcasting Classes

Wizard. A wizard learns only Elemental magic. At character creation, choose two of the four Elemental schools; you have a Knack in those two and not in the other two. You can still study the unknacked elements, but ranks in them cost twice as much and stop at Skill Rank 5.

Cleric. A good-aligned cleric can also learn Light magic, and an evil-aligned cleric can also learn Dark magic; such a cleric has a Knack in one Ego school of her choice and in her Moral school. A neutral cleric gains no fourth school, but has a Knack in all three Ego schools instead.

Paladin. A paladin learns from all three Ego schools and always gains Holy magic as a fourth school. A paladin has no Knack in any school, so every rank costs the unknacked price and stops at Skill Rank 5.

Other features, such as a feat or a magic item, can grant Spell Points or open a school to a character who has neither.

Suggested Prices

Prices for learning materials and Spell Scrolls are given on the Learning Materials and Scrolls table, in copper pieces. Players should generally be allowed to buy these goods at the listed prices wherever such goods are sold, but the GM can adjust them when the setting or the circumstances of the adventure justify it.

A Spell Scroll costs one quarter of the learning material price for the same spell, rounded up. A scroll holds one casting and is spent when used; it teaches you nothing, and it cannot be copied.

Your Spell Point Maximum

Your Spell Point maximum is determined by your class. A class’s formula draws on three things: your class level, your Mastery, and your spellcasting ability modifier. See your class’s description for the formula.

Mastery. Your Mastery is the total of your Skill Ranks in the magic schools your class and your other features grant you, divided by four. Every school open to you counts, whether or not you have a Knack for it and whether or not you have put any ranks in it; a school at Skill Rank 0 adds nothing to the total. Always divide by four, even if fewer than four schools are open to you. Whether a caster with a Mastery of 0 has any Spell Points at all depends on the class’s formula.

Spell Point Cost

Unless a spell says otherwise, casting a spell costs 2 SP per spell level. If you don’t have enough Spell Points left to pay a spell’s full cost, you can’t cast it.

Casting at a Higher Level

You can cast a spell at any level above its own, provided your Skill Rank in its school is at least equal to the level you choose. The casting costs 2 SP per level of the higher casting, and the spell takes on that higher level for that casting. Many spells describe stronger effects when cast this way, in a Casting as a Higher-Level Spell entry.

For instance, a wizard with Skill Rank 3 in Fire magic can cast Fire Bolt as a 3rd-level spell for 6 SP. That wizard cannot cast it as a 4th-level spell until her Skill Rank in Fire magic reaches 4.

Casting without Spending Spell Points

Some characters and monsters have features that cast a specific spell without cost. Such casting is usually limited in another way, such as a number of uses between Long Rests.

Casting from Scrolls and Magic Items

Any character can cast a spell from a consumable or a storing item, such as a Spell Scroll or a Ring of Spell Storing, even one who has never learned the spell, has no Skill Rank in its school, and belongs to no spellcasting class. The item supplies the knowledge. It doesn’t supply anything else.

Potency. The creator fixes a potency into the item when she makes it. That potency serves as the Skill Rank in the spell’s school for that casting, and determines the level at which the spell is cast, its attack rolls, its save DC, and any effect that scales with Skill Rank. Add your own spellcasting ability modifier if you have one, and nothing if you don’t.

Costs Still Apply. The Spell Point cost and the Material components are yours to provide. A knight has no Spell Points at all, so before reading a scroll she must first find some temporary source of them — a draught, a boon, or an enchanted trinket.

Regaining Spell Points

Spell Dice. Your class sets both the number and the size of your Spell Dice. A wizard or a cleric has one for each level in her class; a paladin has one for every odd level, and so half as many. During a Short Rest, you can spend any number of Spell Dice you have left. For each die spent, roll it and regain that many Spell Points. Nothing is added to the roll — neither an ability modifier nor a Skill Rank.

Long Rest. Finishing a Long Rest restores all your expended Spell Points and returns half your total Spell Dice, to a minimum of one.

Spell Points regained above your Spell Point maximum are lost.

One Paid Spell per Turn

On a turn, you can spend Spell Points only once. This rule means you can’t, for example, cast a spell using the Magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn.

Reaction and Bonus Action Triggers

A spell that has a casting time of a Reaction is cast in response to a trigger that is defined in the spell’s Casting Time entry. Some spells that have a casting time of a Bonus Action are also cast in response to a trigger defined in the spell.

Longer Casting Times

Certain spells require more time to cast: minutes or even hours. While you cast a spell with a casting time of 1 minute or more, you must take the Magic action on each of your turns, and you must maintain Concentration (see “Concentration”) while you do so. If your Concentration is broken, the spell fails, but you expend neither Spell Points nor Material components. To cast the spell again, you must start over.

Verbal (V)

A Verbal component is the chanting of esoteric words that sound like nonsense to the uninitiated. The words must be uttered in a normal speaking voice. The words themselves aren’t the source of the spell’s power; rather, the particular combination of sounds, with specific pitch and resonance, sets the threads of magic in motion. Thus, a creature that is gagged or in an area of magical silence can’t cast a spell with a Verbal component.

Somatic (S)

A Somatic component is a forceful gesticulation or an intricate set of gestures. A spellcaster must use at least one of her hands to perform these movements.

Material (M)

A Material component is costly matter consumed by the casting. Each school uses one kind of matter, listed on the Schools of Magic table and named in a spell’s Components entry: arcane gems for the Elemental schools, aqua vitae for the Ego schools, holy relics for Light and Holy magic, and chunks of sulphur for Dark magic. The Components entry states how many are required at the spell’s own level, and the casting uses them up. You must have a hand free to access them, but it can be the same hand used to perform Somatic components, if any.

Casting at a higher level consumes proportionally more matter. Divide the listed number by the spell’s own level to find what one level of that spell costs, then multiply by the level you cast at, rounding up.

A single component of any kind costs 2 cp. The names differ for flavour; mechanically, one component is one component. Fire Bolt, a 1st-level spell whose entry reads M (1 arcane gem), spends 2 cp of matter along with its 2 SP, and 3 gems if it is cast as a 3rd-level spell. Anchorage, whose entry reads M (12 arcane gems), is a 2nd-level spell, so it costs 6 gems per level: 12 gems cast at 2nd level, 18 at 3rd, and 24 at 4th.

One Bag of Reagents

GMs are encouraged to let components stand in for one another. An evil cleric can burn sulphur for Ego spells as well as Dark ones, rather than carry two pouches that cost the same and do the same work. The names are there to colour a caster, not to make a player keep a ledger. A single line on the character sheet reading “37 arcane components” is a perfectly good way to play.

Concentration

Some spells and other effects require Concentration to remain active, as specified in their descriptions. If the effect’s creator loses Concentration, the effect ends. If the effect has a maximum duration, the effect’s description specifies how long the creator can concentrate on it: up to 1 minute, 1 hour, or some other duration. The creator can end Concentration at any time (no action required).

The following factors break Concentration.

Another Concentration Effect. You lose Concentration on an effect the moment you start casting a spell that requires Concentration or activate another effect that requires Concentration.

Damage. If you take damage, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage taken, whichever number is higher, up to a maximum DC of 30.

Dead. Your Concentration ends if you die.

Teleport. You and up to 8 willing creatures within 10 feet of you instantly teleport to an anchor point you have previously set. The destination must be on the same plane of existence and no more than 100 miles away for each point of your Skill Rank in Water magic. An anchor beyond that distance cannot be reached, though it does not fade.

You may maintain a number of active anchor points equal to your Skill Rank in Water magic, and you may teleport to any of them. If setting a new anchor would take you past that number, choose one of your existing anchors; it fades as the new one is set.

Casting as a Higher-Level Spell. This spell has no effect beyond its own level. What it does grows with your Skill Rank in Water magic and with nothing else.

If the space 100 feet away is occupied, the object appears in the closest unoccupied space to that point.

Medium-sized trees, bushes, and other flora may be affected by this spell despite being rooted to the ground.

Magical objects cannot be affected by this spell.

Any creature or unsupported object resting on or within the removed object remains in its position (and may fall).

While cursed, the creature suffers the following effects:

• Whenever the creature deals damage, each damage die rolled is treated as having rolled its minimum value.
• Whenever the creature attempts to cast a spell, it must roll 1d10. If the result is equal to or less than the level at which you cast this spell, the spell fails, though any Spell Points and Material components are still expended.

At the end of each of its turns, the cursed creature may use its Bonus Action to repeat the saving throw, ending the curse on a success.

The spire is 20 feet tall with a 5-foot diameter at its base, tapering to a point at its top. The spire is a solid object that can be used as cover or as a terrain feature.

The raised creature can take any action that relies on physical capability, including Attack, Dash, Dodge, Disengage, and the use of weapons or natural attacks. It cannot cast spells, use magical abilities, or activate magic items.

On each of your turns, you can use a Bonus Action to mentally command the raised creature. If you control multiple creatures raised by this spell, you command all of them with the same Bonus Action. If you issue no command, the creature takes no action.

When the spell ends, the creature falls dead. A creature’s body that has been raised by this spell is desecrated and cannot be raised again, resurrected, or restored to life by any means.

The food fully nourishes those who partake of it. Any portions remaining after the party completes a Long Rest crumble into ash and cannot be preserved by any means.

If you cast the spell again before food created by a previous casting has vanished, the spell fails, however the Spell Points are expended, and the Material component is consumed.

Inquisition

2nd-level holy magic

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (1 holy relic)
Duration: Instantaneous

You speak a single question that can be answered with “yes” or “no” to a creature within range that can understand you and is capable of speech. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is compelled to answer truthfully with either “yes” or “no.” On a successful save, the creature is still compelled to answer “yes” or “no,” but the caster has no way of knowing whether the response is truthful.

Casting as a Higher-Level Spell. For each spell level above 2nd, you have Advantage on the first attempt you make to end the transferred condition.

The creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If the creature fails three consecutive saving throws, it is Petrified permanently, and the condition can be ended only by using magic.
